The Relative Contribution of Social Interaction in Predicting the Quality of Life Among Students of King Faisal University

Objective: The study aimed to identify the extent of social interaction's ability to predict the quality of life among students at King Faisal University. Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main concepts and theories that underpin the research are presented. [List relevant theories, models or frameworks] stand out, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the investigation. Method: The researchers used a descriptive approach (correlational, causal-comparative, and predictive), administering two scales (social interaction - quality of life) to a sample of 407 Male and female students. Results and Discussion: The study found a positive and statistically significant correlation between social interaction and quality of life among university students. Students' social interaction level was generally high, especially in relationships, integration, and initiative. The level of quality of life among students was high in general and in all its dimensions. The results also showed statistically significant differences in the "influence" and "cooperation" dimensions of social interaction in favour of males. There are no significant differences in the rest of the dimensions or the total degree of social interaction between males and females. Research Implications: Professors and university staff, as a socializing place, can influence formal processes that enhance the social interaction of students, which allows them to have a better quality of life. Originality/Value: According to the review conducted, there are no previous studies that investigate the predicting effect of social interaction on the quality of life among university students.

The Role of Social Media in Developing the National Identity for Social Diversity Among University Students

The study's overarching goals were to determine how college students' social interaction patterns shape their sense of national and cultural identity, how these patterns relate to one another, how these patterns vary across demographic variables (such as gender, age, location, and parental education level), and whether or not these patterns can be used to predict students' future national and cultural identities. Six hundred fourteen male and female students from three different schools made up the research sample. The results showed that there was a lot of social interaction (3.41), a strong sense of national and cultural identity (4.14) across all categories, and a high degree of tool use (4.24). In addition to explaining the dimensions of social interaction (competition, cooperation, and conflict; 20.8% of the variance ratio), the areas of social interaction had a statistically significant impact on developing cultural and national identity dimensions. When looking at the many aspects of national and cultural identity, cooperation stands out as the most important and predictive. Both aspects (competition and cooperation) were positively and statistically significantly correlated with each of the other dimensions of cultural identity, national identity, and the overall tool of cultural and national identity (conflict). Social interaction patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, did not vary by age, gender, or location. Graduate school is associated with statistically significant variations in social contact patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, as compared to parents with lower levels of education.

English Language Attrition Levels and Language Maintenance Efforts among Indonesian Non-English Department Students

In the EFL context, the primary linguistic environment for learners is a formal classroom in which they receive input, feedback, and opportunities to practice with teachers and other learners. However, as learners graduate from schools, they might no longer have access to such an environment and thus be deprived of the main intake to support acquisition and retention, which makes them susceptible to language attrition. This study aims to explore the levels of attrition experienced by 165 multilingual non-English department students 30 months after graduating from their secondary schools, the possible factors associated with attrition, and the predictive power of some language maintenance efforts (LMEs) on English attrition. The participants took standardized English tests, that is, Test 1 and Test 2 administered within a 24-month interval and responded to a questionnaire about LMEs. A paired t-test was used to establish a link between attrition level and the identified factors. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive power of LMEs for attrition. The results show that learners with different proficiency levels experience different levels of attrition. Factors like attitude and motivation showed different degrees of correlation with attrition. A negative correlation was found in the three dimensions of LMEs: entertainment, literacy activity, and academic activity. Contrary to popular literature on first- and second-language attrition, the dimension of social interaction has a very low predictive power for foreign-language attrition.

Influence of Online Gaming on Behavior of Gamers in Pakistan

This study reveals that online video games have emerged as a novel platform for social interaction, wherein numerous gaming options facilitate player’s competition and collective interaction within the virtual realm. Gamers have increasingly begun to form distinct virtual social communities due to the inherent capacity of these games to facilitate social networking in a multiplayer online setting. This phenomenon has given rise to a unique social dynamic among video game enthusiasts. The present study delves into an exploration of the social gaming behaviour exhibited by participants engaged in multiplayer online games. Additionally, it seeks to establish a correlation between virtual and real-world behaviours by examining the relationship between destructive and constructive social behaviours and the dominance and affiliation dimensions of social interaction. Purpose: Online gaming has become a unique phenomenon among the young players with a significant influence on them. The basic objective of this study was to determine the social interaction caused by online gaming among young game players. This study conducted in Pakistani perspective has achieved the objections set to analyze the influence of online gaming and increased level of social interaction. Design/Methodology/Approach: To conduct this investigation, an online survey was administered to individuals who regularly engage in multiplayer gaming activities and dedicate a substantial portion of their daily time to gaming. The study sample consisted of 200 gamers spanning an age range of 16 to 30 years. Findings: The results of this inquiry shed light on the prevalence of pro-social behaviour and anti-social behaviour, characterized by constructive and destructive actions among gamers, respectively. Furthermore, the study reveals that destructive behaviour negatively predicts affiliation, while constructive behaviour has a positive predictive influence on affiliation. Moreover, certain demographic variables, such as age and gender, exert a significant impact on the prediction of dominance within the gaming community. The findings of this study provide substantial support for the notion that virtual social interactions have a notable influence on real-world behaviours, underscoring the interconnectedness between the online gaming environment and broader social dynamics. Implications/Originality/Value: Online gaming has become a common practice not only among young adults but also among the minors. Thus, this phenomenon has reduced physical activities among the youth and even among the school going children. This study may provide an insight into the matter and possible appropriate recommendations as well.

Exploring Cultural Meaning Construction in Social Media: An Analysis of Liziqi's YouTube Channel

Hall's encoding/decoding model has been widely used in mass media, but its potential in social media studies has not been explored thoroughly. To this end, this paper aims to broaden the fundamental principles and assumptions of the model and apply them to audience engagement and interaction in constructing cultural meaning through social media. By analysing the YouTube channel of Liziqi (Vlogger), this study adopts a two-stage content analysis to investigate the possibility of textual coding frameworks and audience engagement processes in the construction of cultural narratives. The study reveals that Liziqi represents Chinese culture through various symbols and constructs a micro-narrative coding framework that influences audience perceptions. The audience interprets the content in proactive and diverse ways, resulting in four types of decoding: pleasuring, reflective, empathic, and questioning. This research expands Hall's encoding/decoding model by exploring the production and reception processes in a multicultural context, revealing a shared cultural framework between sender and receiver. This paper provides a tool for scholars to use new conceptual tools for encoding/decoding to explore the meaning dimensions of social media interaction.

Cognitive-perceptual traits associated with autism and schizotypy influence use of physics during predictive visual tracking.

Schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can disrupt cognition and consequently behaviour. Traits of ASD and the subclinical manifestation of schizophrenia called schizotypy have been studied in healthy populations with overlap found in trait profiles linking ASD social deficits to negative schizotypy and ASD attention to detail to positive schizotypy. Here, we probed the relationship between subtrait profiles, cognition and behaviour, using a predictive tracking task to measure individuals' eye movements under three gravity conditions. A total of 48 healthy participants tracked an on-screen projected ball under familiar gravity, inverted upward acceleration (against gravity) and horizontal gravity control conditions while eye movements were recorded and dynamic performance quantified. Participants completed ASD and schizotypy inventories generating highly correlated scores, r = 0.73. All tracked best under the gravity condition, producing anticipatory downward responses from stimulus onset which were delayed under upward inverted gravity. Tracking performance was not associated with overall ASD or schizotypy trait levels. Combining measures using principal components analysis (PCA), we decomposed the inventories into subtraits unveiling interesting patterns. Positive schizotypy was associated with ASD dimensions of rigidity, odd behaviour and face processing, which all linked to anticipatory tracking responses under inverted gravity. In contrast, negative schizotypy was associated with ASD dimensions of social interactions and rigidity and to early stimulus-driven tracking under gravity. There was also substantial nonspecific overlap between ASD and schizotypy dissociated from tracking. Our work links positive-odd traits with anticipatory tracking when physics rules are violated and negative-social traits with exploitation of physics laws of motion.

Fairness as adequacy: a sociotechnical view on model evaluation in machine learning

This paper develops an account of model evaluation—with an emphasis on fairness concerns—that takes the social situatedness of ML models as its starting point. Such a view entails that ML models are not deemed isolated entities, but rather tools, used for specific purposes and potentially impacting their social environment in manifold ways. This shift of perspective opens up a new problem space and facilitates rethinking criteria for model evaluation. By drawing on the adequacy-for-purpose view in philosophy of science, epistemic norms and desiderata for an adequate deployment of ML models along the dimensions of Social Objectives, Measurement, Social Dynamics, and interaction are then identified. The account thus developed also highlights why any auditing of ML models that ought to assist in consequential decision-making cannot be limited to an assessment of statistical properties, but needs to incorporate a variety of methods from the social sciences instead. Moreover, while the process of model evaluation might be deemed as a mere technical exercise, it is in fact riddled by epistemic and morally normative considerations.

Distance Education from Teacher and Learner Perspective

This study aims to determine the views of individuals who have experienced the distance education process as both students and teachers. The study group consists of individuals who both enrolled in graduate education programs at a state university and taught actively at K-12 institutions. The study is conducted with a phenomenological design. The Miles Huberman model was used in the analysis of the data. The problems faced by the participants in the distance education process, in which they took part both as teachers and students, were grouped under “instructor dimension, student dimension, family dimension, infrastructure, hardware, and physical environment dimension, social interaction dimension, and process dimension”. The views of the participants on the assessment and evaluation processes in distance education as students were grouped under “measured learning outcomes, assessment and evaluation tools, assessment and evaluation systems, other factors that affect evaluation, negative situations, and positive situations”. The same sub-themes occurred, except for “positive situations”, when the views on assessment and evaluation processes in distance education were examined from the perspective of the teachers. Views on e-teacher qualifications were grouped under “technical knowledge, knowledge of instructional design, social skills, knowledge of pedagogical content, management skills, and knowledge of assessment and evaluation”.

How learning spaces matter in entrepreneurship education: introducing the concept of topopraxis

ABSTRACT Research into entrepreneurship education has explored content, audience and pedagogy but much is still to be studied when it comes to the spatial dimensions of learning – that is, where entrepreneurship is taught, how this matters for pedagogies used, and the implications for learning. We seek to strengthen a theoretical foundation for understanding learning spaces and the spatial dimensions in entrepreneurship education (EE). We extend the teaching model framework by Fayolle and Gailly, to develop a conceptual model that relates place and pedagogy into learning spaces in EE, informed by recent pedagogical trends in experiential learning and design pedagogy. The model concerns the where-how, the topopraxis, of two types of learning spaces in team-based EE that are grounded in theory on the spatial dimensions of social interaction pertaining to team ‘territory’, and stakeholder proximity. The model proposes that topopraxis in EE programmes will impact learning processes and outcomes in the form of team relationship building, conceptual development , and student identity formation. To illustrate the applicability of the model, we analyse two cases of EE programmes, both conducted in studio environments, but differing in topopraxes and learning outcomes. Finally, we offer implications for EE research, and for the design of entrepreneurship programmes.

Social functioning, depression, and quality of life among breast cancer patients: A path analysis.

To identify associations among social functioning, depression, and quality of life in breast cancer patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 180 breast cancer patients were recruited from the surgical units in southern Taiwan hospital in 2021. Path analysis was employed to analyze the relationships between background information and social functioning, depression, and quality of life. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for examining the path analysis in this study. The path model showed that respondents with a religious belief (ß=0.18, p<.000) and less severe disease (ß=-0.29, p<.01) showed better social functioning. Income did not affect social functioning directly but was directly related to the social interaction dimension (ß=0.30, p<.000). Moreover, younger age (ß=-0.29, p<.000, lower income (ß=-0.10, p<.05) and more severe disease (ß=0.35, p<.000) increased the level of depression. Less severe disease would also result in a better quality of life (ß=-0.45, p<.000). Breast cancer patients with better social function levels have low levels of depression (ß=-0.82, p<.000) and better quality of life (ß=0.76, p<.000). Age, religion, income, and severity are crucial predictors of social functioning, depression, and quality of life. Furthermore, severity variables which combined clinical variables to make this variable a stronger predictor for SF, depression, and QOL.

Designing and Developing a Combined Program based on the Theory of Mind Method and the Floortime Method and its Effectiveness on Social-Communication Skills and Stereotypical Behaviors of Children with Autism Disorder

Aim: The present research was conducted with the aim of designing and compiling a combined program based on the theory of mind method and the flortime method and its effectiveness on social-communication skills and stereotyped behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorder. Method: The present research method is mixed (qualitative-quantitative) of sequential exploratory type. In the qualitative part with the approach of inductive content analysis, socio-statistics included all the valid scientific sources and articles indexed and related in the databases, and theoretical sampling and the saturation rule were used. In the quantitative part, the population of this research was all children aged 2 to 5 years with autism spectrum disorder who referred to Autism Center of Rafsanjan, who were willing to cooperate and participate in the meetings on behalf of themselves and their families. The sample included 5 children aged 2 to 5 years with autism spectrum disorder. These people were selected by purposeful sampling and investigated in a single-group study with a single-subject design. The research tool was Gilliam Gazer's (1994) questionnaire. Results: The results of the qualitative part of the research led to the development of a 12-session combined therapy package based on the theory of mind method and flortime method. The results of the quantitative part showed that the combined training method based on the theory of mind method and the flortime method had an effect on the social-communication skill components with an improvement percentage between 25 and 55%. The theory of mind method and the Flortime method have had an effect on the scores of stereotyped behaviors with a recovery percentage between 14 and 46%. Conclusion: The conceptual model of the combined program based on the theory of mind method and the flortime method was developed based on the dimension of communication skills, the dimension of motor speech skills, the dimension of interpersonal skills and social interaction, and the dimension of emotion recognition. The results showed that the teaching method of the combined program based on the theory of mind method and the flortime method had an effect on social-communication skills and stereotyped behaviors.

STUDENT’s PERCEPTION OF ONLINE BASED CHEMISTRY LEARNING PROCESS

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the learning system in Indonesia to online-based learning. Students' perceptions need to be known to understand how students perceive online chemistry learning, especially during the pandemic. A quantitative method is conducted using a Likert-scale questionnaire of 25 items. The questionnaire is trying to explore students’ perceptions on three dimensions, namely, material and teaching method, learning atmosphere and environment, and social interactions. Respondents are 385 students of the science program at two public schools in Ciamis regency. The results showed that in general, the majority of students (&gt;50%) perceive online chemistry learning positively, especially with regard to material and teaching method and learning atmosphere and environment. However, the dimension of social interaction is found to have more negative responses (&gt;80%) than positive ones. This is apparent in the communication and interaction between students and their teachers and peers. From this study, it is concluded that while online learning seems to be relatively accepted and prepared by students, the social interactions of students need to be seriously considered as they may affect students’ mental health and well-being. Further research is therefore recommended to explore more the extent to which mental health and well-being influence students’ performance in online learning.

Accounting for an encounter involving a social worker and man with learning disabilities and crafting tools for ethical social work practice

ABSTRACT This article critically reads a social encounter in which a social worker and a middle-aged man with learning disabilities are implicated. To do so, I draw upon ideas and approaches associated with anthropology and the sociology of everyday life to expose invisible, or invisibilised, dimensions of social interaction which may, otherwise, be obscured, backgrounded, and perhaps even concealed by virtue of their ‘thereness’. Through the prisms afforded by these disciplinary lenses, a seemingly ordinary, and unspectacular, social encounter may be regarded in the context of everyday life alongside learning disability, as registering/generating multiple forms of language, and as being inescapably saturated in multifaceted forms of power. Because these disciplinary tools may help map not only the particular social encounter to which this article is concerned but also social interactions more generally, they constitute useful resources, to be cultivated, or crafted, for ethical social work practice.

Suicidal ideation in mothers of asthmatic children and adolescents in a subspecialty outpatient practice

We aimed to investigate prevalence and factors associated with Suicide ideation (SI) in mothers of asthmatic children. This cross-sectional study included 362 dyads of mothers and children with asthma aged 2 to 14 years who attended two pediatric outpatient clinics in Brazil. We assessed the presence of SI (Self-Report Questionnaire-20), the occurrence of stressful events and maternal social support. The prevalence of SI was 8.6%. Low maternal education, exposure to serious illness, and low perception of social support in its affective–social interaction dimension remained significantly associated with SI in the final model. Thus, life stressors, social support and low maternal education accounted for most of the variation in prevalence of maternal SI. There were no effects of child asthma severity on maternal SI in this study.

Social interaction and agency in self-organizing student teams during their transition from face-to-face to online learning

Online collaboration is becoming increasingly more common in work life and education, a development that is accentuated by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is thus imperative that students learn to work in and as teams in online settings, and that teachers and educational researchers and policymakers understand how online environments enable and constrain student collaboration. However, what has been missing in research on online student collaboration is a focus on students as agents rather than passive learners as well as a lack of focus on student teams as self-organizing teams. This paper reports on a study that investigated the experiences of 1611 graduate students in 315 teams enrolled in an interdisciplinary project-based course during their (forced) transition from face-to-face to online collaboration due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We explored how the transition to online learning affected social interaction and how teams changed their practices to support and sustain social interaction in the online environment. The findings show that the changed conditions of the learning environment influenced social interaction in negative ways, but also that team reflection seemed to enable the students to reverse some of the adverse effects and develop practices that supported both the cognitive and socio-emotional dimensions of social interaction. Theoretically, this study suggests possible causes for why social interaction was reduced and provides in-depth knowledge about the relationships between social interaction, social presence, and social space. The study also provides support for theories of learning that emphasize the need to consider students as active agents rather than merely users of the affordances of a virtual learning environment or guided by the teacher's interventions. It makes a unique contribution to the scarce empirical literature on virtual self-organizing student teams in higher education and provides practical implications for teachers and educational researchers and policy makers.

Which dimensions of livestock farming systems shape social interactions around a farm? The case of two farms valorizing animal domestic biodiversity

ABSTRACT To investigate the social dimensions of livestock farming using animal domestic biodiversity, we analyzed the social interactions surrounding farms, to identify the role of local breeds and the dimensions of the farming systems at play. We relied on case studies of two farms raising rare breeds in contrasted territories. We (i) identified the people concerned by the farm and its productions and (ii) characterized their interactions and their links with several dimensions of the livestock farming system. We discuss the role of domestic animal biodiversity as one dimension of livestock farming systems related to others.

EKSISTENSI UMAT BUDHA DI KOTA BLANG PIDIE: TELAAH HUBUNGAN SOSIAL KEAGAMAAN

Aceh is one of the provinces that adhere to various religions. Aceh or commonly dubbed as 'Beumo Seuramo Meukah' is predominantly Muslim, of course Aceh is based on Islamic Shari'a and also has a special Qanun formulated in accordance with Islam itself. The various adherents of religious communities also do not rule out the possibility of conflicts arising from excessive fanaticism so that the emergence of a sense of intolerance in every religious community. The ummah is an inseparable part of religion, the existence of the ummah is the most important thing in religion or also commonly referred to as followers. Religion does not exist without the adherents of that religion, there are those who lead the event, there are those who prepare the place and tools for the ceremony, and at the same time they become participants. The existence of the people is very influential on the religion itself, the achievement of that religion and the social relations that have a big influence on the religion itself. Relations among religious people based on tolerance, mutual understanding, mutual respect, respect for equality in the experience of religious teachings and cooperation in social life, or what is commonly termed 'religious harmony'. The process of this research through descriptive-qualitative, among others, are: observation, interviews and literature review that reads several book references that are related to this research. The results of this study indicate that there are several dimensions of the socio-religious life of Buddhists in Blang Pidie City, including: the religious dimension, the dimension of social interaction and the dimension of attitude, some of these dimensions can cause factors that affect the socio-religious life of the Buddhist community in Blang Pidie City. Social interactions that are not well established can also have an impact on every individual in society in everyday life.
