The everyday abnormal and the quest for normalcy

Illiberal regimes and societies test resilience and provoke resistance, especially from targeted minority groups. But this abstraction can obscure the complexity of specific events and participants’ emotional motivation. What are the emotional and cognitive responses of protest participants within illiberal contexts? This article investigates this question by focusing on LGBT-rights protest participants in contemporary Poland. Using testimony from in-depth semi-structured interviews with participants from 2019 equality marches, we identify emotional and cognitive responses that centre around a quest for normalcy. Illiberal politics in Poland, especially when contrasted with perceptions about LGBT acceptance in neighbouring countries, have made everyday life 'abnormal,' where LGBT individuals fear increasing violence and feel unable to act normally. Protest participation opens a space where LGBT individuals and allies can feel normal. This experience of normalcy effectively claims recognition of one's 'normal' humanity. In turn, this builds resilience within participants to endure the deterring effects of everyday life and to continue their advocacy for LGBT rights.

ЦИФРОВЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ КАК СРЕДСТВО ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ МОТИВАЦИИ ИЗУЧАЮЩИХ ИНОСТРАННЫЙ ЯЗЫК

The article is devoted to the analysis of new forms of teaching foreign languages at the university in connection with the forced transition to distance learning in 2020, the mass digitalization of education and the speed of introduction of digital technologies in the educational process. The article focuses on increasing the level of motivation of students, the effectiveness and quality of knowledge obtained in the course of learning a foreign language using digital technologies. The authors present the results of their survey among 500 students of 1-5 courses of law school on the use of online platforms for self-study of a foreign language. The article emphasizes that these platforms not only provide users with unlimited opportunities to download and store information, but are also ideal for developing students ' writing skills, sharing information, commenting, and learning new vocabulary. The results of the survey also revealed a different degree of motivation among students. The data obtained as a result of the survey indicate that the development of a positive attitude to learning is largely facilitated by emotional motivation. The authors also describe their own experience in organizing distance learning at Saratov State Academy of Law, present modern educational platforms that help students in the process of learning a foreign language, motivating them to independent creative work.

Foreign language virtual teaching optimization: sensory-somatic enhancers as an alternative to rational and emotional ones

Based on the use of potentials of human analogue thinking and cognitive effects as an indispensable component of the cognitive activity, the article considers atypically located in the frame structure and suggestively loaded rational and emotional motivators for learning a foreign language. The article focuses on sensory-somatic enhancers of the new information reception. It is shown that stimulation of the analogue language learning is mostly successfully carried out with suggestive or emotional motivation, as well as through visual, audio, kinesthetic channels alongside with the verbal one during games. It is proved that such games were used in the history of human ontogenesis. Game resources of virtual reality are considered as new stimulating suggestions, since a game is a way to detach from the profane in favor of the sacred information space. The ways of optimization of virtual foreign language learning by means of sensory-somatic enhancers are described.

“Smile with Tears”—— An Interpretation of O. Henry’s Short Stories

As one of the greatest short-story novelists in the world, O. Henry is a critical realistic author, also one of the world’s three major short masters, together with Chekov and Maupassant. His writing style is appreciated by numerous readers, especially for the twist plot and the surprising ending with the feature of “smile with tears”. In language, O. Henry uses many rhetoric tactics to achieve the effect of making the stories more vivid and humorous, such as exaggeration, metaphor, and simile and so on. His writing materials are from his own life experiences, that each story is a reflection of the society then, and he always sympathizes with the poor, criticizes and satirizes the capitalists even the common insignificants who have the valuable humanity. Through the analysis of O. Henry’s representative novels, it has expounded the humanistic spirit and optimistic expectation of human kindness contained in his works, which also shows love and kindness are the ultimate belief and the eternal chapter praised by all human beings. Therefore, it has become a major stylistic feature of O. Henry’s novels to show the characters’ psychology by depicting the emotional motivation, which is also the main line and key to our analysis of his works. Moreover, his unique writing styles influence following authors in the field of literature, therefore, his story is known as the “encyclopedia of American life”.

Inborn differences in emotional behavior coincide with alterations in hypothalamic paraventricular motor projections.

Integrated behavioral responses to emotionally salient stimuli require the concomitant activation of descending neural circuits that integrate physiological, affective, and motor responses to stress. Our previous work interrogated descending circuits in the brainstem and spinal cord that project to motor and sympathetic targets. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), a key node of this circuitry, integrates multiple motor and sympathetic responses activated by stress. The present study sought to determine whether descending projections from the PVN to targets in muscle and adrenal gland are differentially organized in rats with inborn differences in emotionality and stress responsivity. We utilized retrograde transsynaptic tract-tracing with unique pseudorabies virus (PRV) recombinants that were injected into sympathectomized gastrocnemius muscle and adrenal gland in two rat models featuring inborn differences in emotional behavior. Our tract-tracing results revealed a significant decrease in the number of PVN neurons with poly-synaptic projections to the gastrocnemius in male Wistar Kyoto [WKY] rats (versus Sprague Dawley rats) and selectively bred Low Novelty Responder [bLR] rats (versus selectively bred High Novelty Responder [bHR] rats). These neuroanatomical differences mirrored behavioral observations showing that both WKY and bLR rats display marked inhibition of emotional motor responses in a variety of settings relative to their respective controls. Our findings suggest that, in male rodents, PVN poly-synaptic projections to skeletal muscle may regulate emotional motor and coping responses to stress. More broadly, perturbations in PVN motor circuitry may play a role in mediating psychomotor disturbances observed in depression or anxiety-related disorders.

Can Social Motivators Improve Handwashing Behavior among Children? Evidence from a Cluster Randomized Trial of a School Hygiene Intervention in the Philippines.

.This study reports the impact of the HiFive program, a 6-week handwashing campaign that targets social and emotional motivators to improve student handwashing in primary schools in the Philippines. We designed a clustered randomized trial to evaluate the impact of HiFive on student handwashing behavior, motivation, and access. Of the sample of 196 primary schools located in two districts, half were randomly assigned to receive the program in the 2017–2018 school year. Survey and observation data were collected 3 months after the conclusion of the campaign. In control schools, only 2.5% of students were observed washing their hands with soap and water, our primary outcome and 14.8% were observed washing their hands with at least water. HiFive led to a 3.7 percentage point (p.p.) increase (P < 0.01) in the rate of handwashing with soap and water and a 5.6 p.p. increase (P = 0.03) in handwashing with at least water after toilet use. HiFive also led to a 10.8 p.p. (P < 0.01) increase in the number of handwashing facilities stocked with soap. The program had limited impact on the motivators targeted by the program, suggesting that the small improvements in handwashing may have been driven by increases in the availability of soap. More research is needed to understand how interventions can effectively trigger social motivators to improve handwashing behavior among schoolchildren, and whether the effectiveness of these programs can be augmented with “nudge”-based interventions from the behavioral sciences.

Game Meat Consumption-Conscious Choice or Just a Game?

Game meat is constantly present on the European meat market, but a limited number of consumers are interested in its consumption. Considering the unique features of wild animal meat, we should explore what pushes consumers to include it in their diet. To identify the motives determining the choice of game meat, a quantitative survey based on the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) method was conducted among 450 participants. The statistical analysis based on the logistic regression model allowed us to assess the significance of emotional motives leading to game eating and to investigate the importance of the rational motives related to the quality attributes of game for consumers. It was shown that rational motives influence the consumers’ choice more than emotional factors, while the most important motives are connected with healthcare issues. Consumers, for whom the crucial attributes of quality are taste, nutritional value, and low fat content, constitute a group that might more often include game in their diet in the future. Among the emotional motives, the familiarity, described as a feeling of knowing the product, also has a statistically significant impact on the consumers’ choice. The results obtained may be useful for academic theoreticians and market experts as well.

Self-efficacy for instructional leadership: relations with perceived job demands and job resources, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and motivation to quit

The purpose of this study was to explore associations between school principals’ self-efficacy for instructional leadership, their perceptions of work-related demands and resources, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and motivation to leave the principal position (quit). Four hundred and forty-seven principals in elementary school and high school participated in a survey study. Data were analyzed by means of confirmatory factor analyses and SEM analyses. Self-efficacy for instructional leadership was negatively associated with the perception of all job demands and positively associated with the perception of all job resources in the study. In the SEM analysis, the associations between (a) self-efficacy and (b) emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, and motivation to quit were indirect, mediated through the perception of job demands and job resources.

Perceptions about Healthy Eating and Emotional Factors Conditioning Eating Behaviour: A Study Involving Portugal, Brazil and Argentina.

This study analysed the perceptions about healthy eating as well as some emotional factors conditioning eating behaviour in a sample of people from Portugal, Brazil and Argentina. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study involving a non-probabilistic sample of 2501 participant. Data was collected through a questionnaire applied to adult citizens residing in their respective countries. For data analysis chi-square tests were used, and associations were evaluated by Cramer’s coefficients. Moreover, a tree classification analysis was conducted for variables related with perceptions about healthy eating and emotional conditioning of eating behaviour. The results revealed that participants’ perceptions are generally in agreement with healthy eating. However, significant differences were found between countries (p = 0.018) and by levels of education (p < 0.0005), with a more accurate perception for Portugal and at the university level. The existence of statistically significant associations between all sociodemographic variables considered and the conditioning of eating behaviour by emotional motivations should be noted. Tree classification analysis showed that the most important discriminant sociodemographic variable for perceptions about healthy eating was education, followed by professional area and country, while the most relevant discriminants for emotional conditioning of eating behaviour were country and then living environment and sex. Thus, it is important to consider these variables in initiatives that aim to promote adherence to behaviours that contribute to the health and well-being of the population.

Examining the relevance of emotions for regulation of food wastage behaviour: A research agenda

Purpose&lt;br/&gt; Research has pointed towards the emotional component of decisions contributing to the wastage of food at the end of the supply chain. The present study reviews food wastage literature to reveal the role of emotions with respect to regulation, reduction and prevention of food wastage among consumers.&lt;br/&gt; Research methodology&lt;br/&gt; The study is literature-driven and seeks to uncover latent emotional motives underlying the actions leading to the wastage of food. It utilises previous studies in the fields of consumption emotions, food wastage, pro-environmental behaviour and sustainability to offer unconventional research propositions that underline the interplay of these variables.&lt;br/&gt; Findings&lt;br/&gt; Based upon the literature, the paradoxical nature of anticipated emotions' influence was considered and confirmed. The findings suggest that the anticipation of experiencing positive emotions due to desires of being recognised as a good provider or expressing one's affection may lead to actions that contribute to increased wastage, while anticipating that a negative affect experience may create a positive outcome with regard to food wastage.&lt;br/&gt; Limitations&lt;br/&gt; The majority of prior research, related to the relevance of emotions for food wastage behaviour, has focused on negative emotions, leaving a perceptible dearth of insights about the role of positive emotions.&lt;br/&gt; Contributions&lt;br/&gt; The study builds a novel narrative of how emotions channelise behaviour concerning food wastage, and proffers an argument for a more rigorous examination of emotions, both positive and negative, anticipated in a situation leading to food wastage at the stage of consumption. It also identifies potential avenues for research into emotions related to food wastage.

Light my fire but don’t choke on the smoke: Wellbeing and pollution from fireplace use in Sweden

Fireplaces are popular in Northern Europe. However, particle emissions from fireplaces have been identified as an environmental problem and a health problem. User behaviors affect particle emissions and the success of particle reducing technologies to a large extent. This interdisciplinary study aims to investigate why and how people use their fireplaces, including what emotions people associate with fire, and their interest in learning more about fire making and changing behavior related to fire making. It does so by applying an emotion regulation model in a novel way. In total, 146 Swedish individuals owning a fireplace (the majority had wood stoves, a few had tiled stoves, boilers or other types of fireplaces) participated in an online questionnaire about motives, behaviors, knowledge, and interest in learning and changing behavior. The most common motives for using a fireplace in this sample were complementary heating and “cozy fire making”. Our results suggest that watching a fire can aid in regulating emotions from unpleasant stress towards joy and provide a pleasant atmosphere for socialization, and that wood fuel may be a preferred complementary energy choice because it provides beautiful light, comfortable warmth, beautiful design and safety. People reporting emotional motives for using a fireplace also reported an interest in changing behavior.

General emotion regulation measure (GERM): Individual differences in motives of trying to experience and trying to avoid experiencing positive and negative emotions

The present research was conducted in order to address nascent research concerning hedonic and contra-hedonic emotion motives by creating a measure that identifies individual differences in self-reported emotion motives. A sample of 833 undergraduate students reported how often they try to experience or try to avoid experiencing 24 valenced (positive or negative) emotion terms. Latent profile analysis identified three important distinct profiles: 1) a normative group in which people tried to experience positive emotions and tried to avoid experiencing negative emotions, 2) a non-normative group which exhibited an aversion to positive emotions and an attraction to negative emotions; and 3) a smaller non-normative third group which displayed an unwillingness or inability to regulate either positive or negative emotions. A MANOVA identified that the normative group reported higher levels of psychological well-being relative to the other two groups. The new General Emotion Regulation Measure (GERM) described in this research is proposed as a measure of higher order emotion regulation motives which can inform research on basic goals people use to regulate their emotions.

MOTIVASI MASYARAKAT KOTA MAKASSAR MELAKUKAN TRANSAKSI MELALUI E-COMMERCE

This study aims to see the motivation of the Makassar people to transact through e-commerce. The transaction model is relatively new in society, but has become a trend of its own and is so desirable in almost every circle of society. This research is a descriptive qualitative field research conducted in Makassar using a normative theological, phenomenological and Islamic economic approach. The results of this study indicate that transaction motivation through E-commerce consists of rational motivation, that is motivation that occurs due to careful consideration of consumers before deciding to transact and emotional motivation, namely the spontaneous motivation to emerge when seeing unique or interesting items, as well as in conventional transactions. The difference is that in an e-commerce transaction, the community will get value added or added value in the form of or excellent services because of the various facilities available in e-commerce so that the community will feel pampered in the transaction.

WITHDRAWN: Examining the relationship for sport motives, relationship quality, and sport consumption intention

ABSTRACT As the sport industry becomes progressively competitive, most professional teams focus on ways to develop a long-term relationship with fans. One such strategy is sport marketing intended to enhance relationship quality between fans and teams, which may be related to high sport consumption. Accordingly, in this study the authors developed a model that explains the antecedents and outcomes of relationship quality initiatives in the context of professional sport. To this end, a sport fan motivation framework and a relationship quality model were used to explain fan behaviors within a professional volleyball league. Results showed that sport fan motives significantly affect relationship quality and behavioral intention regarding sport consumption, with emotional motivation exerting a considerable association. The study also demonstrated that relationship quality mediates the association between emotional motives and behavior intentions. The current research extends the sport management literature by empirically investigating the effects of emotionally driven sport motive on relationship quality and desired relational outcomes.

Accepting the pressures of coaching: Insights into what experienced coaches learn with over 10 years-experience working with elite junior tennis players

Despite a growing body of research into sports coaching there is little understanding of what it is like to coach elite junior tennis players. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of 8 UK, experienced tennis coaches and describe what it is like to coach elite junior tennis players. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) of 8 experienced tennis coaches (over 10 years-experience) shows their insights into elite junior tennis coaching and provides avenues of comparison with the experiences of younger tennis coaches (Gowling, 2019). This study found that (a) experienced tennis coaches described a panoramic view of coaching, (b) experienced coaches were confident in their coaching effectiveness, and (c) acceptance of challenges in coaching helped experienced coaches develop effective coping mechanisms to sustain their emotional well-being and motivation to coach for long careers. The findings of this research contribute to an evolving, problematic epistemology of sports coaching and confirms that the experiences of existing coaches could contribute to more effective training of coaches. The findings present governing bodies opportunities to inform coach education literature and help tennis coaches to sustain themselves in an emotionally challenging role.

Is double parricide an archetype of schizophrenic acting-out?

ObjectiveParricide, defined as the act of killing one's parent by a child, represents 2 to 3% of all homicides in France and North America, an incidence rate that remains relatively stable. This particular murder seems, to most people, an unthinkable act of violence andhas been a source of fascinationsince antiquity, becoming a founding myth. Double parricide (the murder of both parents) is less frequent, accounting for 2 to 3 cases per year in France. The double horror of the crime seems to definitively mark the offender as mad, but is the double parricide really the archetype of a schizophrenic acting-out? MethodAfter a review of the scientific literature, we present two cases in order to explore the psychopathological profile of double parricide, by discussing clinical and criminological features. ResultsApart from adolescent parricides (more rarely due to a mental disorder but rather to a subject suffering from severe abuse), characteristic features of mentally ill adult parricides emerge from the review of literature. Offenders are mostly young men, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia with persecutory delusions, substance use and/or antisocial comorbidity, living at the parental home. With regard to double parricide, case reports of the literature are consistent with this profile, but cohort studies find a real heterogeneity concerning the diagnosis (schizophrenia spectrum, but also mood disorders and personality disorders). We then describe two different cases of double parricide. The first patient, aged 22 and diagnosed with schizophrenia, commits a double parricide in a delusional context with mysticism and persecution. There is no premeditation, but a precipitating factor (a trivial dispute), and a history of repeated conflicts with his stepmother. The act is characterized by its brutality and a grandiose atmosphere, without remorse afterwards. The second patient, in her fifties, kills both parents during a partly premeditated, organized acting-out, with dissimulation. The double parricide occurs in a context of anger and even rage, rooted in a history of childhood abuse and exalted by an unstable psychological state due to a decompensated bipolar disorder. DiscussionThe literature review and our reported cases of double parricide highlight a complex psychodynamic substratum as well as the variety of psychiatric pathologies involved. If the first case appears to be pathognomonic of schizophrenic disorders, the second seems to be the result of a combination of mood elation, unresolved intrafamilial conflict, and emotional motivation. ConclusionThese results underline the excessive trend to attribute double parricide cases exclusively to schizophrenic disorders. However, one of our cases demonstrates that double parricide may be related to mood disorders and/or severe abuse. Thus, double parricide cannot be said to be the archetype of schizophrenia, and an analysis of the act should make use of a general psychopathological reflection that would include the existence of possible mood disturbances, as well as a systemic study of the family dynamic.

The Webs We Weave: Predicting Infidelity Motivations and Extradyadic Relationship Satisfaction

ABSTRACT The current study examined relationships between sociosexual constructs and motivations for infidelity in a currently cheating sample. Members of the AshleyMadison.com website who were actively using the website to search for and/or engage in infidelity completed a brief anonymous online survey. Our findings supported previous research regarding emotional and sexual motivations for infidelity. However, we also found that various individual differences were connected to each type of motive. For example, sexual motivations for infidelity were best predicted by being male, having an unrestricted sociosexual orientation, experiencing less sex guilt, having greater Christian identification, and being less satisfied with the primary partner. Importantly, these were not the same patterns for each type of motivation (e.g., anger). Finally, participants’ satisfaction with their secondary (i.e., infidelity) partners was not consistently predicted by the motivations for infidelity. This suggests that an individual-differences approach to predicting issues related to infidelity is an important approach for future research.

Study on the Shunt Teaching Mode of College English in Colleges and Universities

&lt;p&gt;There are different teachers in China, which leads to great differences in the English ability of new college students. Therefore, the implementation of English teaching mode in colleges and universities has been widely recognized and accepted in China. Through the shunt teaching, colleges and universities in China will be more suitable for the learning rules and development needs of English, which is the necessary guarantee for individualized teaching. In practice, there are also many problems in English diversion teaching, which requires us to guide the freshmen to arrange their learning psychology. Through teaching diversion, colleges and universities can start students' emotional motivation, which will be more conducive to CET-4. Through the teaching diversion, this paper analyzes how to guarantee the training mode of the students who have not passed the CET-4. Then, this paper puts forward some suggestions, which can better stimulate students' interest in learning.&lt;/p&gt;
