Gaming in Its Social and Political Context of Recent Years

This article is the first of two articles in the series, where the goal is to analyze the social function of gaming as a modern social institution. The purpose of the article is to analyze the situation that has developed inside and outside the game environment — communities of people who have been playing computer games for a long time, including those who do it on a professional level. The modern game environment is characterized by wide coverage and involvement of various groups of society; First of all, we are primarily interested in the target preferences of young people. The author proceeds from the position that in the matters of transmitting socio-cultural codes, game developers are influenced by the media and other social agents. The basic theories for analysis were the provisions of the Chicago school (in particular, sociological and psychological approaches) and part of the provisions of cultural Marxism (G. Marcuse). The analysis of the game environment was carried out through the provisions of the theatrical performance approach, flow states (flow is a feeling of happiness) and in the context of a challenge to the values of an industrial society from the perspective of a post-industrial society. For this purpose, the coverage of post-apocalyptic scenarios in games and their role in mind control were analyzed.

Analysis of Efforts to Encourage Increased Interest in Tourism

Purpose: In the Solok in West Sumatra, This study aims to determine how infrastructure, local knowledge, and digital marketing affect visitors' desire to travel.
 
 Theoretical framework: Along with characteristics that are specific to destinations or the tourism industry, it is important to consider elements that have an impact on the businesses and organizations that provide the "products" that tourists use to plan their trips. Or, to put it another way, a tourist destination may draw and satisfy potential tourists if it is competitive, and this competitiveness is impacted both by factors specific to the tourism sector and by more general traits that affect tourism service providers.
 
 Design/methodology/approach: The structural equation model, also known as the structural equation (SEM), was used in this work to change the sample size. This indicates that the SEM research that employs the MLE estimate model must use a minimum of 200 samples.
 
 Findings: The findings of this study show that visitor interest is significantly influenced by facilities. This shows that offering sufficient facilities in a tourist area can encourage interest in going as people anticipate feeling content or happy after visiting a tourist attraction.
 
 Research, Practical & Social implications: The study concludes that to keep tourism objects competitive in the face of competition from other tourist attractions, tourism managers must also pay high importance to developments in the industry.
 
 Originality/Value: There is a gap in this study because of the sharp decline in tourist numbers at Solok, West Sumatra. Therefore, the analysis of the aspects that are thought to be significant to impact the choice to visit, namely product, pricing, and digital marketing, is the main emphasis of this research. The uniqueness of this study resides in the item being investigated, which is every existing tourist site, and the research subjects, who are visitors who are visiting these locations while employing the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) methodology. The research's conclusions are anticipated to advance marketing science, particularly in the tourist industry.

The Good, the Bad, the Helpful: Qualitative Exploration of the Australian Puppy-Raising Experience Through Longitudinal Surveys

ABSTRACT Dogs living in Western countries today are more likely to be considered a member of the family compared with those in previous generations. This shift in human–dog dynamics also affects how dogs are raised, the benefits perceived, and the challenges faced by guardians. To provide appropriate support to modern dog guardians, canine professionals need to understand their experience. This study aimed to better understand the lived experience of guardians who acquire and raise puppies for companionship. This longitudinal study surveyed 19 Australian puppy guardians every two weeks, from 3 weeks after puppy acquisition, through to their puppy turning 6 months of age. By undertaking analysis of free-text responses, we developed themes describing what guardians found most rewarding/enjoyable, most challenging, and most helpful. These themes were closely interconnected and suggest that puppy raising is complex, and sequential factors may have cumulative effects. Forming an attachment with their puppy, training, eudaimonic happiness, creating social networks, and having sufficient time to dedicate to puppy raising were major positive factors in a guardian’s experience. Training appears to have multi-faceted benefits as it likely provided opportunity for shared activity, increased positive states, eudaimonic happiness, attachment, and decreased challenges. Social networks may help decrease the time guardians require to raise their puppy (as burden is shared) as well as mitigate challenges, decrease negative states, and increase feelings of eudaimonic happiness. Challenges revolved around navigating puppy training and behavior, and the emotional and physical struggle of striving to be a “good guardian.” Understanding the puppy-raising experience better may help key stakeholders provide guardian-appropriate guidance, support, and resources to increase enjoyment and decrease stress in puppies and their guardians.

Dissociating representations of affect and motion in visual cortices.

While a delicious dessert being presented to us may elicit strong feelings of happiness and excitement, the same treat falling slowly away can lead to sadness and disappointment. Our emotional response to the item depends on its visual motion direction. Despite this importance, it remains unclear whether (and how) cortical areas devoted to decoding motion direction represents or integrates emotion with perceived motion direction. Motion-selective visual area V5/MT+ sits, both functionally and anatomically, at the nexus of dorsal and ventral visual streams. These pathways, however, differ in how they are modulated by emotional cues. The current study was designed to disentangle how emotion and motion perception interact, as well as use emotion-dependent modulation of visual cortices to understand the relation of V5/MT+ to canonical processing streams. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), approaching, receding, or static motion after-effects (MAEs) were induced on stationary positive, negative, and neutral stimuli. An independent localizer scan was conducted to identify the visual-motion area V5/MT+. Through univariate and multivariate analyses, we demonstrated that emotion representations in V5/MT+ share a more similar response profile to that observed in ventral visual than dorsal, visual structures. Specifically, V5/MT+ and ventral structures were sensitive to the emotional content of visual stimuli, whereas dorsal visual structures were not. Overall, this work highlights the critical role of V5/MT+ in the representation and processing of visually acquired emotional content. It further suggests a role for this region in utilizing affectively salient visual information to augment motion perception of biologically relevant stimuli.

Problematics of Unrequited Love in the Modern Javanese Song “Klebus” by Ngatmombilung (Critical Discourse Analysis)

Love can be interpreted as a process that occurs in society, begins with a feeling of happiness, romance, and harmony. However, love can also end in heartbreak, disappointment, unrequited love, suffering, and so on. One of the sad endings to love experinced by many people, especially young people, is unrequited love. This study aim to analyze the problematic nature of unrequited love in the modern Javanese song titled “Klebus”, which was popularized by Ngatmombilung. The research method is descriptive-qualitative with the critical discourse analysis approach of Norman Fairclough to explore the meaning of songs critically and in depth. Data collection techniques include document studies, content analysis, and interviews. Data analysis techniques are carried out in three dimensions, namely textual dimensions, discursive practice dimensions, and sociocultural practical dimensions, to get appropriate conclusions. This study shows that in the song "Klebus", there is a representation of the problems of the love story of someone who is not avenged even though they struggled and gave their best. Young people who have an attitude of being too hopeful about the feelings of others can actually cause pain, disappointment, sadness, and suffering. In the end, letting go and accepting reality becomes the right choice.

Professional activity, gender and disease-related emotions: The impact on parents' experiences in caring for children with phenylketonuria

IntroductionClinical management of rare diseases often fails to acknowledge the challenges faced by caregivers. Whilst management of phenylketonuria (PKU) may not be considered as dire as other conditions, most studies primarily concentrate on clinical issues, dietary adherence, or the quality of life of the PKU patients, leaving caregivers in the background. The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychosocial effects of PKU on family caregivers. MethodsBetween October 30th, 2022 and February 28th, 2023, we collected data from caregivers of children with PKU using an anonymous, self-administered, computer-assisted online questionnaire. The survey was distributed among to patients during their regular visits to five Polish PKU treatment centers. ResultsA total of 159 Polish caregivers of children with PKU completed the survey. This research shows that while women caregivers were more likely to be unemployed due to their responsibilities for childcare (50.3% compared to 0% for men), and men caregivers were more likely to be employed full-time (93.8% compared to 40.6% for women), the former reported higher emotional engagement in caregiving (88.1% vs 56.3% respectively). Significantly, unemployed mothers reported higher levels of loneliness, helplessness, and emotional control problems, and lacked psychological/emotional support more often than employed mothers. This research also shows a statistically significant positive correlation between mothers' education level and financial situation (p < 0.05) and education level and professional activity (p < 0.01). Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between perceived financial situation and feeling of happiness (p < 0.001), and between financial situation and professional activity (p < 0.001). Finally, a significant positive correlation was observed between feeling of happiness and professional activity (p < 0.05). ConclusionsAccording to our findings, there is a link between subjective happiness, financial situation, and professional activity among female caregivers. The relationship between these factors goes beyond just the income earned from work. The results of our study imply that there could even be a therapeutic advantage for working mothers. It is crucial to recognize the emotional difficulties that employed mothers may experience while taking care of a child with PKU, and to provide them with the necessary assistance and resources to meet their needs. Additionally, our results may provide a foundation for redefining the support system for caregivers in Poland.

DETERMINANTS OF HAPPINESS OF OLDER MEN AND WOMEN IN SILIGURI, WEST BENGAL

Happiness denotes a subjective feeling of living a good life. It is a key to successful aging. The older adults who judge themselves as happy, remain in more advantage position to cope up with age related changes than their counterparts. The feeling of happiness in old age depends on several internal and external factors. In this light the present study has tried to examine the variation of feeling of happiness among older adults on the basis of some selected socio-economic and demographic variables. It is found that the augmentation of age, no income and subjective assessment of poor health significantly reduce the feeling among happiness among men elderly. On the other hand, loss of spouse and separate living from children have a greater impact on feeling of happiness among women older adults. Thus, the present investigation indicates that power dimensions like income or participation in family decision play more vital role in influencing happiness among elderly men, whereas, in case of women elderly.

Preconceptions of Happiness and Satisfaction: The Perspective of Children from Czech Primary Schools

The aim of this research was to determine what children aged 10–15 associate with happiness/satisfaction as well as to analyse which factors are related to their feelings of happiness and their evaluation of life satisfaction. A total of 954 children attending Czech primary schools from various socio-cultural backgrounds were surveyed using the incomplete sentence method. The levels of both their happiness and satisfaction were measured using the Subjective Happiness Scale and Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale. The results indicate that the children considered themselves relatively happy and satisfied, and they understood happiness/satisfaction in terms of the concept of eudaimonia (personal growth, achievement of school goals, etc.). Happiness/satisfaction were indicated at a significantly lower level if the children did not feel accepted by their caregivers, described themselves as ‘melancholic’, were raised in a single-parent family, or spent their childhood in institutional care. Further, as the children grew older, their happiness/satisfaction levels declined. Neither gender nor spirituality were found to predict happiness/satisfaction.

An individualized music listening program to reduce agitation in hospitalized patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

The sudden change in environment with hospitalization in patients with dementia can provoke feelings of agitation. Listening to music can be an effective intervention to decrease agitation because the part of the brain recognizing music is unaffected by dementia, and music can elicit feelings of happiness. This project aimed to reduce agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) by implementing an individualized music listening program. The sample included 21 patients diagnosed with ADRD admitted to a medical-surgical unit at a community hospital. The four-item Pittsburgh Agitation Scale (PAS) was completed by clinical staff to document the degree to which their patient exhibited four types of agitated behavior. A paired t-test yielded a statistically significant (p<0.001) decrease in total scores from pre-test (M=4.83, SD=2.10) to post-test (M=1.38, SD=1.40). The findings demonstrate that implementing an individualized music listening program reduces agitation in patients with ADRD.

Examining Resilience and its Role in Positive Psychological Outcomes

The deep connection between resilience and favorable psychological outcomes, such as life satisfaction, pleasure, and general well-being, was examined in this study. The study used a quantitative technique to try to understand how resilience affects people's subjective well-being.&#x0D; The study's findings showed that participants generally demonstrated a high level of resilience. Resilience was linked to moderate to high levels of happiness, life satisfaction, and general wellbeing. These findings support the corpus of prior research emphasizing resilience's critical contribution to the development of favorable psychological outcomes.&#x0D; The standard deviations, which show the data's variety, highlighted how different each person's experiences are. Although resilience has gained recognition as a resource for fostering positive outcomes, its impacts have been influenced by a variety of variables, such as personal coping mechanisms, social support networks, and unique life situations.&#x0D; These findings have useful ramifications for initiatives designed to improve wellbeing. Interventions that increase resilience give people the tools they need to overcome challenges, encourage happy feelings, and eventually improve their general happiness, well-being, and sense of fulfillment in life. The study also emphasizes the significance of tailored strategies for improving well-being that take into account and cater to individual characteristics and requirements.&#x0D; But it's important to recognize the study's drawbacks, like the cross-sectional design and reliance on self-report metrics. To provide a greater knowledge of the dynamic interaction between resilience and beneficial psychological effects, future research initiatives might take into account longitudinal designs and qualitative methodologies.&#x0D; In summary, this work offers important new understandings about how resilience affects psychologically beneficial consequences. The importance of resilience in fostering life satisfaction, pleasure, and general well-being is emphasized, and the necessity of individualized ways to enhancing well-being is also emphasized. In the end, people can negotiate life's problems while also thriving and cultivating a life that is marked by contentment, happiness, and flourishing by understanding and growing resilience.

Service sweethearting: An effective way to increase tips?

Survey research suggests that a common tactic servers use to increase their tips is to comp (or fail to charge for) a portion of customers’ food orders. An online hypothetical scenario study found that this tactic does result in larger absolute tip amounts. The effect was fully mediated by the comp’s enhancement of the tipper’s feelings of happiness, luckiness, and gratitude. These positive affective reactions to the comp enhanced tips even though the comp lowered the bill size upon which consumers based their tip amounts. These findings suggest that restaurant managers cannot rely upon consumer perceptions of unexpected comps as unethical or as attempts at manipulation to keep them from rewarding such employee theft. Nor can managers rely upon the percentage tipping norm together with the lower bill sizes created by such give-aways to provide disincentives for this form of employee theft.

Effectiveness of a Mixed Model of Painting and Sculpture Art Intervention on Depression Symptoms in Pediatric Patients with Cancer

Introduction: The literature has few clinical reports about the effectiveness of art-based interventions on depression in children with cancer. We examined the effectiveness of a mixed model of group painting therapy and sculpture on depression reduction among children with cancer. Materials and Methods: In this pre and post-clinical trial, 14 children aged 8–12 years previously diagnosed with cancer underwent group painting along with sculpture for one month and were followed up between August 2019 and September 2019. Results: The total depression score of the patients was reduced from 27.71 to 15.36 (P < 0.001). The children were happier at follow-up compared to baseline (0.5 vs. 1.50, P = 0.010). They were less scared (0.93 vs. 2.07; P = 0.000), slept better (1.07 vs. 2.00; P = 0.000), had a better time (0.07 vs. 1.29; P = 0.000), less likely to cry (0.79 vs. 1.43; P = 0.045), less likely to be sad (0.79 vs. 1.79; P = 0.007), felt that people like them more than before (0.70 vs. 0.93; P = 0.017), and it was easier for the children to start doing things (1.07 vs. 2.07; P = 0.003). However, no significant changes were found among children in being bothered by things, feelings about eating, feelings of happiness, feeling as other children, paying attention to usual activities, tiredness, feeling that something good is happening, feelings about previous activities, being happy, being quiet, and feeling loneliness. Conclusion: We showed that painting with sculpture is an effective technique to decrease the overall level of depression score and improve some aspects of happiness in children with cancer.

Whiteness and the Affective Economy of Happy Antiracism inNative SonandMeridian

This article explores how antiracism cultivates happiness among white subjects and how that emotion alienates people of color. It argues that a cohort of twentieth-century African American writers critiqued this happy antiracism in their fiction, examining Richard Wright’s Native Son (1940) and Alice Walker’s Meridian (1976) as two representative examples. Both novels portray what Sara Ahmed calls an “affective economy,” specifically the unequal affective economy produced by antiracism’s circulation as a cultural object. Wright considers how antiracism occasions happiness in white subjects by bolstering their sense of their own virtue, and how this happiness alienates African Americans, for whom antiracism is embedded in the experience of ongoing racial violence. Writing in the heyday of second-wave feminism, Walker examines how, even as antiracism shores up happy feeling, it can also compromise the agency of white women, whose activism is mediated by the persistence of nineteenth-century ideals of sentimentalism and domesticity.
