A Study of Emotional Maturity and Academic Achievement among Higher Secondary Students in Chennai District

Emotional maturity is a state of balanced feeling and self-control. Emotional maturity is the ability to bear tension and to develop high tolerance for the circumstaces that we disagree. When we face a complex situation, our level of emotional maturity is one of the biggest factors in determining our ability to cope up with them. Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical and mental human development that involves biological (i.e., pubertal), social and psychological changes. Education is the process of development from child to Adolescence or adulthood. The school education particularly higher Secondary School education plays an important role in personal and professional success. But during this stage of life many factors influence, the process of education an especially academic accomplishment that is why the present study has been conducted to investigate the relationship of emotional maturity and the academic achievement among Higher Secondary students.

TERMINATION IN THE CATEGORY FREEDOM

An open question is the connection of such a particular state of mental life of a person as a state of termination with the philosophical category of freedom. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to prove the similarities of the category of freedom and the state of termination. To achieve this goal, it is manifested by what features the state of termination, as a certain psychological state of a person, is understood by the researcher as a state of freedom, by what properties and characteristics he has the opportunity to enter the philosophical category as «freedom». The methodology is based on a comparative method of research, that is, on the comparison of the characteristics of the category of freedom and the state of termination. In this study, the method of comparativeism is the identification of connections based on the comparison of different human states as phenomena of manifestations of the psyche and categories of philosophy that changed their content in different historical periods. That is, various human states are considered and the properties-characteristics of the state of cessation, the state under investigation, are revealed. At the same time, different views on freedom are considered as a philosophical category in its historical meaningful changes. Permanence and change at different historical times are even considered. The scientific news is that for the first time a comparison of the category of «freedom» and the state of termination is considered. The documentary literature on the basis of which the main property of such a state of human consciousness as termination is highlighted. According to this, the main characteristic was the analysis of the comparison of the state of «termination» and the philosophical category «freedom». The main properties-characteristics of the termination state have been identified. These prop – 2 erties-characteristics are compared with the characteristics of which the category «freedom» has. The conclusions show that the characteristics of the state of termination are similar to the ch It is established that there is a state in which a person feels self-sufficiency and freedom. All desires disappear for a while. It is proved that the state of termination is complete freedom from desires. lack of desire. It is also found that there is no need for external impressions. Man is free from all kinds of addictions. There is freedom. On the examples of documentaries of religious and mystical culture, it is established that in a state of feeling of freedom, also in a state of cessation, a person becomes above his desires, owns himself, he is free from shallow desires. This state of freedom and the state of termination are similar. aracteristics of the category «freedom».

Qualitative approach to processes of inter-individual Kotsu acquirement

The purpose of this research was to understand and clarify the process of inter-individual Kotsu acquisition. Kotsu is essentially a trick to learn skills in Japanese, and how individuals gain it is important. One participant who had experienced the process of acquiring Kotsu, together with the first author, was selected, and a second-person approach was adopted. A club-juggling task was used as the athletic task. Data were collected through the observation and the reflection of the participants. Modified Grounded Theory Approach was used to analyze the data. Results indicated that eight intra-individual categories, eight inter-individual categories, and two performance categories were classified into nine category groups and five core categories. The correlations among the categories were used to develop a conceptual model. The performer of the athletic task acquired Kotsu with the partner by experiencing a reversal between the feeling state and the result state in the intra-individual domain and the independent state and dependent state in the inter-individual domain. Eight types of transactional states were experienced through the reversal of four paired meta-motivational states: groping, expansion, conflict, coaction, diffusion, adhesion, obsession, and coexistence. In conclusion, Kotsu is a feeling acquired through repeated reversals.

States of Feeling

With the affective turn, scholars pay increased attention to the emotional dimensions of everyday life. This special issue builds on this work through an explicit focus on bureaucracies to show what a more sustained attention to affects and emotions can bring to the study of the state, both as an apparatus and as an image. Contributions highlight the importance of ethnographically studying the affective relations and emotional engagements of public servants to understand how representations and practices of the state are brought together in often intangible, sometimes unspoken, but nonetheless powerful ways. In this Introduction we situate our wider contribution and the individual articles in debates about the social lives of the state and the daily practices of public servants. We postulate how affective intensities give rise to particular political imaginations and subjectivities, and we reflect on ethnography’s unique position within the study of emotions and affects in political anthropology.

A comparative study to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding prenatal attachment among primigravida women residing in selected urban and rural communities of District Mohali, Punjab

Background of the study: The earliest relationship does not begin at birth. The concept of prenatal attachment is defined as the subjective feeling state of love for the unborn child. Developing an attachment for one’s unborn child is considered an important milestone in the future parents’ developmental trajectory. Pregnancy is a natural, pleasant process in a woman’s life, which is also associated with significant stresses due to the physical and mental changes. Evidence suggests that the emergence of maternal-fetal attachment, is a predictive factor for the postpartum maternal attitude and function, mother-infant interaction, and attachment after birth. Mothers with a higher level of fetal attachment during pregnancy have been shown to have more effective interactions with their infants, which in turn has a substantial impact on the growth and emotional, cognitive, and social development of the child. Aim: To compare the knowledge and attitude regarding prenatal attachment among primigravida women residing in selected urban and rural communities. Material and methods: A quantitative research approach with non-experimental comparative research design was adopted to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding prenatal attachment among primigravida women residing in selected urban and rural communities of District Mohali, Punjab. A total of 100 primigravida women i.e., 50 from urban and 50 from rural community were selected using non-probability convenient sampling technique. Results: Present study result showed that in urban community majority of primigravida women (42%) had moderate knowledge; while in rural community majority of primigravida women (56%) had in-adequate knowledge regarding prenatal attachment. Results related to attitude revealed that in urban community majority of primigravida women (62%) had favorable attitude where as in rural community majority of primigravida women (68%) had unfavorable attitude towards prenatal attachment. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the study was urban community has adequate knowledge and favorable attitude then rural community. Hence, the study suggests that considering the importance of prenatal attachment in child’s development and mother’s health, prenatal period can be an appropriate time to educate the women regarding maternal fetal attachment and its importance and benefits of attachment to the fetus.

The anxiety levels of midwives and nurses working for filiation during COVID-19: A sample of Turkey

This study examines the anxiety levels of midwives and nurses working for filiation during management of the COVID-19 pandemic(n = 205) The cross-sectional data were collected using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and II). Having COVID-19 test done and provision of protective equipment affected their STAI-I and II. High anxiety status was found to be those who did not experience fear of carrying the coronavirus to their families (O.R: 1.128), who had diagnosis tests done (O.R:0.888), who had good feeling states before COVID-19 process (O.R:1.076). Information about infection spreads, required equipment and providing social support will lead to a reduction in their anxiety levels in working filiation.

Understanding health behaviours in context: A systematic review and meta-analysis of Ecological Momentary Assessment studies of five key health behaviours

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) involves repeated, real-time sampling of health behaviours in context. We present the state-of-knowledge in EMA research focused on five key health behaviours (physical activity and sedentary behaviour, dietary behaviour, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, sexual health), summarising theoretical (e.g., psychological and contextual predictors) and methodological aspects (e.g., study characteristics, EMA adherence). We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Web of Science until February 2021. We included studies focused on any of the aforementioned health behaviours in adult, non-clinical populations that assessed ≥1 psychological/contextual predictor and reported a predictor-behaviour association. A narrative synthesis and random-effects meta-analyses of EMA adherence were conducted. We included 633 studies. The median study duration was 14 days. The most frequently assessed predictors were ‘negative feeling states’ (21%) and ‘motivation and goals’ (16.5%). The pooled percentage of EMA adherence was high at 81.4% (95% CI = 80.0%, 82.8%, k=348) and did not differ by target behaviour but was somewhat higher in student (vs. general) samples, when EMAs were delivered via mobile phones (vs. handheld devices), and when event contingent (vs. fixed) sampling was used. This review showcases how the EMA method has been applied to improve understanding and prediction of health behaviours in context.

Construction of Economic Data Management System Based on BP Neural Network.

In order to further understand the economic data management system and technology, in-depth research was conducted in the state of people's nervous system feeling. The method of building open platform algorithm to optimize and modify weight rule 2BP grid construction was used to study. According to the basic principle, the BP neural network which is more suitable for economic data management system was constructed. At the same time, to construct economic database resources, neural network system was mainly to simplify and abstract or simulate the human brain nervous system, which is not completely the same, but can also map the basic characteristics of many functions of the human brain. Through the analysis of the economic data of the neural network, the neural network is widely used in the economic data management, which not only improves the management level of enterprises, but also improves the benefits and profits of enterprises. Besides, it has application effect in predicting economic early warning risk analysis cost control strategy management enterprise credit evaluation and enterprise competitiveness evaluation.

Use of the ORBIT model to refine and test a novel approach to exercise promotion for breast cancer survivors based on affect regulation.

TPS12153 Background: Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for breast cancer recurrence, but estimates suggest at least 50% of breast cancer survivors are insufficiently active. Guidelines specify all cancer survivors should avoid inactivity, and 90-minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week is associated with clinically meaningful benefits (e.g., reduced cancer-related fatigue). Among the general population, how people feel during exercise (i.e., “affective response to exercise”) predicts future exercise engagement. Past work shows prescribing affect-regulated exercise can increase MVPA among inactive adults; however, this strategy has yet to be tested with cancer survivors. The overarching goal of this trial-in-progress is to test the hypothesis that an affect-regulated exercise prescription (Affect-Rx) can promote clinically meaningful increases in MVPA among inactive breast cancer survivors. Methods: Design: The Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model was used to inform all choices about design and key research milestones for two sequential studies. Study 1 (Phase Ib) is a stakeholder-centered, single-arm pilot trial (NCT04903249). Study 2 (Phase IIa) is a randomized (2:1) proof-of-concept trial. In both studies, MVPA will be measured using waist-worn ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers for 10 days at baseline, 2-, 6- and 12-weeks follow-up. Participants also complete brief ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) of their feeling states (e.g., pain, fatigue) three times per day for the same 10-day data collection periods. Participants: &gt;18 years or older, physically inactive, stage 0-III breast cancer survivors, with primary cancer-treatment completed within the last 5-years. Intervention: Both studies deliver the Affect-Rx prescription: Exercise at the highest pace that still feels good. The Control condition in Study 2 is a heart-rate regulated exercise prescription. Endpoints and Planned Analyses: The goal of Study 1 is to refine the study protocol for acceptability via participant interviews and objective indicators of acceptability (e.g., accelerometer wear-time). The primary milestone for Study 1 is a fixed protocol ready for testing in Study 2. The goal of Study 2 is to quantify the effect of Affect-Rx on MVPA at 12-weeks relative to Control. The primary milestone for Study 2 is clinically meaningful impact on MVPA operationalized as &gt;50% participants completing 90-minutes of MVPA at the end of 12 weeks. The associations between daily variability in feeling states and MVPA will be analyzed using a mixed-effects, hierarchical regression modeling approach. Current Enrollment: Data collection for Study 1 are ongoing. To date, N = 37 women have enrolled in Study 1 and data collection is complete for N = 13 at week-12. We aim to collect complete data from at least N = 20 women in Study 1 and N = 60 women in Study 2. Clinical trial information: NCT04903249.

Situational judgment using ethical reasoning\xa0in Saudi undergraduate pharmacy students

IntroductionThere is a paramount need for moral development for pharmacists and pharmacy students to practice the patient-centered profession. We aimed to explore the current situational judgment utilizing ethical reasoning among undergraduate pharmacy students.MethodsA set of ten ethical dilemmas, representing potential real-life situations that the students come across in the university and may face in the future as a pharmacist were developed by a team of students, academic staff, and stakeholders. These ethical dilemmas were validated, checked for accuracy, and piloted. An online questionnaire was created consisting of these ten scenarios as open-ended questions and administered to fourth year and fifth year PharmD students in a public university located at the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, asking them how they would react in that situation. Responses of the participants were analyzed using thematic analysis independently by four researchers and inter-rater agreement were achieved through consensus.ResultsOut of 205, 186 students completed the questionnaire with a response rate of 90.7%. Analysis and resulted in the generation of 32 codes, which were then categorized into seven overarching themes: student engagement, social and professional responsibility, academic integrity, legal obligation, moral obligation, signposting, and moral engagement and patient safety.ConclusionsUndergraduate pharmacy students experience complex state of mind in connection with ethical reasoning. The participants’ situational judgment were driven by cultural norm, authority, and responsibility. Student engagement is also affected by the state of mind and feelings of mutual trust, perceived cultural influence and peer pressure. The students were prone to seek help from university administrators or teachers when faced with situations in which they were helpless.

Assessing the effectiveness of core-shamanism on a group of Westerners: A brief research report.

A study was conducted on Western adults who participated in a group undergoing initiation into therapeutic shamanism. It investigated how shamanic work could be a factor triggering changes in persons who never had been previously immersed in such a tradition. Five groups, each composed of six people for a total of 30 participants, met eight times over a period of four months. Analyzing questions asked of the 27 who completed the program resulted in the following identified themes: experiences of the group, trust in the shamanic practitioner, raised awareness of their feeling states, experiences of the shamanic journeys, understanding of the origin of personal difficulties, solutions discovered to improve one’s life, identification of striking moments, belief in the existence of “spirits,” and other relevant changes like disappearance of allergies, improved self-confidence, more assertiveness, a desire to live, optimism, the capacity to live in the present moment and to make choices. The structural role of ritual and trance in this type of program is highlighted, including discussion about implications of the changes reported.

Perfectionism and performance-related psychobiosocial states: The mediating role of competition appraisals

ABSTRACT Using the multi-states (MuSt) theory as a framework, the present study focused on the individual (personality) antecedents of psychobiosocial states. Psychobiosocial states comprise emotional subjective experiences and their correlates (cognitive, motivational, volitional, bodily, motor-behavioural, operational, and communicative), that can be functional for performance (helpful) or dysfunctional (harmful). Specifically, we examined the relationships between two perfectionism dimensions (perfectionistic strivings and concerns) and functional and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states. The hypothesized mediational role of competitive appraisals was also tested. Participants (N = 271, 138 female, 133 male, M age = 22.74 ± 7.01) completed questionnaires assessing the targeted variables. Structural equation modelling revealed that perfectionistic strivings were positive predictors of functional states directly and via challenge appraisals. On the other hand, perfectionistic concerns were positive predictors of dysfunctional states directly and via threat appraisals. Results provide support to MuSt theory and extend the literature on the antecedents of athletes’ performance-related feeling states. Findings also provide support for the holistic conceptualization of psychobiosocial states encompassing the functionality dimension. The results highlight the importance of developing interventions aimed at helping athletes high in perfectionistic concerns evaluate situations as a challenge (and less of a threat) and increasing their perceived resources. Highlights Perfectionistic strivings positively related to functional psychobiosocial states Perfectionistic concerns positively related to dysfunctional psychobiosocial states Competitive challenge appraisals mediated the relationship between perfectionistic strivings and functional psychobiosocial states Competitive threat appraisals mediated the relationship between perfectionistic concerns and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states

Acute physiological and psychophysical responses to different modes of heat stress.

New Findings What is the central question of this study? What are the profiles of acute physiological and psychophysical strain during and in recovery from different modes of heating, and to what extent do these diminish after repeated exposure? What is the main finding and its importance? Mode of heating affects the strain profiles during heat stress and recovery. Exercise in the heat incurred the greatest cardiovascular strain during heating and recovery. Humid heat was poorly tolerated despite heat strain being no greater than in other heating modes, and tolerance did not improve with multiple exposures. Heat stress is common and arises endogenously and exogenously. It can be acutely hazardous while also increasingly advocated to drive health and performance‐related adaptations. Yet, the nature of strain (deviation in regulated variables) imposed by different heating modes is not well established, despite the potential for important differences. We, therefore, compared three modes of heat stress for thermal, cardiovascular and perceptual strain profiles during exposure and recovery when experienced as a novel stimulus and an accustomed stimulus. In a crossover design, 13 physically active participants (five females) underwent 5 days of 60‐min exposures to hot water immersion (40°C), sauna (55°C, 54% relative humidity) and exercise in the heat (40°C, 52% relative humidity), and a thermoneutral water immersion control (36.5°C), each separated by ≥4 weeks. Physiological (thermal, cardiovascular, haemodynamic) and psychophysical strain responses were assessed on days 1 and 5. Sauna evoked the warmest skin (40°C; P < 0.001) but exercise in the heat caused the largest increase in core temperature, sweat rate, heart rate (post hoc comparisons all P < 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (P ≤ 0.002), and possibly decrease in diastolic blood pressures (P ≤ 0.130), regardless of day. Thermal sensation and feeling state were more favourable on day 5 than on day 1 (P ≤ 0.021), with all modes of heat being equivalently uncomfortable (P ≥ 0.215). Plasma volume expanded the largest extent during immersions (P < 0.001). The current data highlight that exercising in the heat generates a more complex strain profile, while passive heat stress in humid heat has lower tolerance and more cardiovascular strain than hot water immersion.

The role of using the language of feelings and emotions in mass media texts

This article examines the phenomenon of feeling, defines how it manifests in the linguistic aspect of the person and analyzes the types of emotional aspects found in &nbsp;mass media texts. Research purpose is the comparative study of linguo-cultural characteristics of emotional vocabulary in Kazakh and English. The main goals and objectives of scientific research are as follows: to determine the volume and composition; to define the lexical and semantic features; to reveal the national-cultural function; to determine cultural-national connotation;&nbsp; to address issues of national acculturation of words that express feelings in English and Kazakh mass media texts. The functions of language are considered in conjunction with its sensory functions, the meaning of language as the general tool for this purpose is comprehensively revealed. A person's worldview is defined, different emotional states of feeling, the world of art and the language of national identity are presented. The findings of the study broaden the possibilities for presenting new knowledge of the world through the media. A significant research result is the study process of the features of the expression of feelings and emotions. Research methods used: content analysis, continuous sampling method, method of linguistic analysis. Research value is the importance and scientific significance of comparative analyses in English and Kazakh feelings vocabulary, which is a new and quite promising direction of linguistics. The study of this phenomenon gives writers, poets, linguists, journalists and other creative professionals the prerequisite for the development of feelings vocabulary. Key words: feeling, emotions, phenomena, mass media texts, language aspects, genres, the notion of feelings.

THE PERCEPTION OF POLISH AGRICULTURE BY FOOD CONSUMERS

The aim of the study was to determine the factors determining the perception of Polish agriculture by food consumers. With intensive changes in the methods of agricultural production, the progressive digitalization of agriculture, more and more frequent discussion of the issue of social responsibility of agriculture (in the context of caring about the condition of the natural environment or ensuring the welfare of farm animals), streams of much, often contradictory, information appearing in the media make some consumers unable to express their opinions on the condition of Polish agriculture unequivocally. The research has shown that factors such as trust, the state of knowledge or feeling of being properly informed about the course of agricultural production have a clear influence on the formation of a consumer’s positive or negative attitude towards Polish agriculture, as well as on the assessment of its modernity. The key in shaping respondent opinions turned out to be the possession of information and the inclination to obtain it.

Skandimentalitet

Looking to Swedish director Ruben Östlund’s 2017 movie The Square, this article describes the ways in which Scandinavian privilege sensibility makes itself known as a tense reflection on, or struggle over, the value of moral sentiments such as sympathy, compassion, solicitude, and pity. In contemporary Scandinavian culture, it has become an affective habit, I suggest, to be suspicious of the moral sentiments, which will therefore typically be regarded and experienced as morally embarrassing states of feeling. Thus, the moral sentiments are always in risk of becoming signs of something immoral in the feeling subject, whether an individual or a collective subject. Privilege sensibility indicates to us something important about the ways in which we respond to inequality and to our own position in unequal social fields of relation, and central to this sensibility is, I argue, a structure of feeling according to which noble emotions may turn ugly, while conventionally ugly feelings may, conversely, turn beneficial and legitimate. ”Scandimentality” will be my name for this structure of feeling and its aesthetic forms.

The Effects of Music and Television Viewing on Enjoyment During Aerobic Exercise

The purpose of this study was to examine if television viewing (TV) and music would increase enjoyment and feeling state during aerobic exercise. Participants included 14 males and 16 females (n=30) randomly assigned to one of three conditions in a cross-over design: music, TV, and control. Participants completed the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) and Exercise-Induced Feeling State Scale (EIFSS). A repeated measures ANOVA compared PACES and EIFSS. There were no differences in physiological variables such as heart rate and perceived exertion. However, there were differences in the PACES (p = .014) and in the EIFSS subscales between positive affect (p <.001), negative affect (p = <.001), and fatigue (p = .026), but no significance in tranquility (p = .098). If a person should forget an entertainment device, there is no difference in the physiological benefit to the workout, but he/she could feel higher enjoyment and feeling states when using a device.

Self-Regulation in High-Level Ice Hockey Players: An Application of the MuSt Theory.

The purpose of the study was to examine the validity of core action elements and feeling states in ice hockey players in the prediction of performance. A second aim of the study was to explore the effectiveness of a 30-day program targeting action and emotion regulation. Participants were male ice hockey players drawn from two teams competing at the highest level of the junior Finnish ice hockey league. They were assigned to a self-regulation (n = 24) and a control (n = 19) group. The self-regulation program focused on the recreation of optimal execution of core action elements and functional feeling states. Separate repeated measures MANOVAs indicated significant differences in ratings of perceived control and execution accuracy ratings of self-selected visual and behavioral components of the action (critical for optimal performance) and psychobiosocial (feeling) states across recalled best and worst games. Results support the use of both action- and emotion-centered strategies for performance enhancement. Future research including psychophysiological markers is warranted.
