WWII and XXth Century Wars in the Collective Memory of different generations of Russians: visual methods research

The collective memory about wars is an object of study, as well as the formation and upbringing within the educational process. The category of generation, collective memory, and psychological trauma are considered as central in the framework of the study described here. It is assumed that wars are significant for the formation of psycho-traumatic experience of a generation. Using visual methods, in which people were asked using self-report to evaluate their feelings and emotions when looking at photographs of various wars of the twentieth century, the hypothesis was tested that the role of the Second World War is the most traumatic compared to other wars due to its role, proximity in time and media effect. The conclusions are drawn about the absence of fundamental differences in the memory of World War II by all generations of Russians (N = 548 people) in all emotional and traumatic parameters, except for the parameter of feeling of pride in the results of the war.

The Role of Pride Feelings in the Team and Fan Community Identification Processes: An Empirical Examination in Professional Sport

Sport consumers’ pride in their teams is displayed in numerous ways. While marketers can capitalize on these pride feelings, the general business literature is devoid of extensive examinations of sport consumers’ pride feelings. The purposes of this study are to develop a conceptualization of sport consumers’ pride feelings toward both tangible and intangible sport consumption objects and examine the relationship between sport consumers’ feelings of pride and identification toward their favorite team as well as their fan community. Study 1 (n = 352) confirmed a typology of sport consumers’ pride feelings with four consumptive vehicles (home stadium, logo, glory of the past, fight songs) in the professional football and baseball contexts. The findings of Study 2 (n = 356) indicated the four pride constructs not only had a direct effect on team and fan community identification, but they also had an indirect effect on team and fan community identification through the respective prestige and distinctiveness dimensions of a sport team and its fan community.

Guilt and Pride Emotions and their Influence on the Intention of Purchasing Green Products

The aim of this paper was to analyze the influence of feelings of guilt and pride in the intention of buying green products by consumers considered sustainable. Guilt and pride are two constructs that shapes people’s actions to avoid guilt-making behaviors and keep those proud, making it important to assess how these two constructs act when it comes to sustainability-related actions, in this case for green products. For this purpose, a descriptive quantitative research was used, with the survey of data performed through a survey and analyzed through multivariate statistics through the SPSS. The results showed that the emotion of guilt was identified as a stimulus factor for the purchase of green products, as a variable that would prevent the consumer to develop unsustainable behaviors, and the feeling of pride was not identified in the respondents, when researching the influence that exerts in the intention of consumers to buy green products. The result contributes to researches in sustainability field by corroborating and at the same time contrasting with research considered incipient that relate emotions to sustainable consumer behavior, opening opportunities for further research on the influence of emotions in consumers behavior in sustainability area.

THE BUDDY PROGRAM: IMPACT ON PERSONS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA AND FAMILY CAREGIVERS

Psychosocial interventions have the potential to offer substantial benefit to people with dementia and their family caregivers. The Buddy Program is an experiential learning program that pairs students with persons with dementia for activities and relationship-building. Previous studies have demonstrated the program’s positive impact on student knowledge and attitudes. New York University’s (NYU) Alzheimer’s Family Support Program began replicating the Buddy Program in 2017 and has enrolled 80 students. Northwestern University’s (NU) Buddy Program, in its 22nd year, has enrolled 260. This presentation describes the impact of the program on the mentors (NU) and the caregivers (NYU). Post program focus groups with mentors and student journals describing interactions with the caregiver were thematically analyzed. Mentors describe feelings of pride in the mentorship role, enjoyment being with student, and the opportunity to develop a new friendship. Caregivers enjoyed the respite provided by the buddies, knowing that their relatives with dementia were enjoying themselves and seeing their relatives with dementia in the role of valued companion. Qualitative data from caregivers and mentors participating in the buddy programs at NU and NYU underscore the possibility that people with dementia can still make contributions to society. The buddy program has a positive impact on quality of life for persons living with dementia and their family members, while providing a valuable educational experience for students. Further research on the buddy program’s benefits is warranted.

Examination of Actual and Ideal Body-Related Characteristics and Body-Related Pride in Adult Males.

Body image concerns are becoming more prevalent in males. Discrepancies between actual and ideal body muscularity and thinness have been studied from a pathological perspective whereby perceiving the body as discrepant from an internalized ideal is associated with body dissatisfaction, negative emotions, and harmful body-altering behaviors. It is unclear if agreement among actual and ideal self-perceptions is associated with positive emotion in males. The present study examined the associations between actual and ideal congruence and discrepancies in muscularity and thinness, and two facets of pride (i.e., authentic and hubristic pride) in male adults. Participants (n = 294; Mage = 34.80 years; MBMI = 27.31 kg/m2) completed a cross-sectional self-report survey. Results from polynomial regressions indicated that actual and ideal self-perceptions of muscularity and thinness were significant predictors of both authentic (R2 = .37 and .20) and hubristic pride (R2 = .33 and .19), respectively. Response surface values demonstrated that extremely high or low scores that were congruent for muscularity (a2 = .35 and .40) and thinness (a2 = .18 and .18) perceptions were associated with higher reports of authentic and hubristic pride. These findings demonstrated that congruence in actual and ideal self-perceptions contribute to feelings of pride, suggesting interventions that promote actual and ideal self-perception congruence may be important for fostering positive emotional experiences in males.

LA ESCUELA VISTA POR MUJERES DE TRES GENERACIONES DE MÉXICO Y COLOMBIA


 El artículo presenta hallazgos de una investigación sobre la percepción que de la escuela, su función y quehacer tienen triadas familiares de hombres y mujeres de dos países latinoamericanos. Para este trabajo se seleccionaron dos triadas de mujeres (abuelas, madres y nietas), una colombiana y otra mexicana, con el objetivo de recuperar, a través de narrativas, lo que representó y representa para ellas y sus familias su paso por la escuela; así como identificar las continuidades, cambios y rupturas experimentadas por dichas generaciones. Uno de los hallazgos importantes es la relevancia que le confieren al hecho de haber estudiado en escuelas privadas de corte confesional católico, por la oportunidad de aprender y formarse dentro de valores, hábitos y disciplinas que resultan tanto o más importantes en su formación que los propios conocimientos disciplinares. Se encontraron en los relatos sentimientos positivos respecto a los logros educativos personales y de la familia. Asomaron en los testimonios emociones como orgullo, satisfacción y alegría por asistir a la escuela, y en el caso de las mujeres que no concluyeron sus estudios, arrepentimiento y frustración.

Intergroup emotional exchange: Ingroup guilt and outgroup anger increase resource allocation in trust games.

Intergroup exchanges are an integral part of social life but are compromised when one group pursues its interests at another group's expense. The present research investigates whether expressing emotion can mitigate the negative consequences of such actions. We examine how emotions communicated by either an ingroup or outgroup member following an ingroup member's breach of trust affect other ingroup members' feelings of guilt and pride, and subsequent allocation of resources. In both studies, groups of participants played a two-round trust game with another group. In round one, they observed a member of their own group failing to reciprocate a trusting move by the outgroup. In Study 1 (N = 85), an outgroup member then communicated anger or disappointment, whereas in Study 2 (N = 164), an ingroup member then communicated happiness or guilt. Comparisons with no-emotion control conditions revealed that expressions of outgroup anger and ingroup guilt increased participants' allocations to an outgroup member in round two. The effect of an outgroup member's anger expression was mediated by participants' diminished feelings of pride about the ingroup action, whereas the effect of an ingroup member's guilt expression was mediated by participants' own feelings of guilt. Taken together, these findings support a social appraisal approach and highlight the roles that pride and guilt can play in shaping intergroup resource allocations.

Leaving Home: Yemeni Students Discuss Study Abroad Migration

The decision to migrate for educational purposes is often stressful, but for those leaving countries embroiled in major warring conflicts, the decision may be overshadowed by feelings of sadness, anger and loss. And for many, the ostensible purpose of migration - education, is overshadowed by the desire or need to leave for economic and security reasons. In such situations, migrants hope they can power through those negative feelings and emerge successful, and with familial honor intact. The narrative weapon used to defeat negative feelings are stories of pride and resourcefulness. In this study Yemeni students studying at a university in Guangdong Province, China were interviewed concerning their decisions to leave Yemen. Participants were between 20 and 30 years old: all were male. Most hailed from Aden or Sana’a or areas adjacent to those major cities and all aligned themselves with pre-1990 South Yemen, as described by their fathers. Narrative analysis revealed a striking similarity: stories of hopeful future redemption through economic opportunities found abroad. Indeed, participants revealed a consuming desire for economic success - an obligation that was energized by feelings of pride in being trusted with custodial duties of familial honor. The results are discussed qualitatively in terms of categorical content and episodic form. This study is limited in that it only includes Yemeni males aligned with pre-1990 South Yemen, and those who hail from Sana’a, Aden or nearby urban centers. Future studies should include women, and those who encompass wider political views and reside in rural areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS PERCEPTION OF YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN THE BIOSPHERE RESERVE IN LATVIA

Environmental education issues are topical at all levels of education, from kindergarten to lifelong learning. The focus of this study was on young people. Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences (ViA) is located in Vidzeme region in Latvia, where the only biosphere reserve in Latvia is located. ViA researchers started research in this area already in 2006, surveying the local population on environmental, social and economic issues in 2007. In 2018 ViA students repeatedly carried out a study of this area by surveying young people up to the age of 19 (n = 120) with an aim of exploring the views of young people living in the biosphere reserve on environmental issues. Environmental awareness is one of the key factors influencing people's behaviour in deciding on a sustainable lifestyle.The European Union regularly conducts research of its citizens on environmental issues. In the latest report the respondents from Latvia have shown one of the lowest indicators when responding to the statement "You can participate in environmental protection yourself" – 76% agree with this statement, in comparison with, for example, the Netherlands – 97%, Sweden – 96%. The youth survey in a face-to-face form was conducted from April to May 2018; it was done by the students and the obtained results were analyzed and compared with the study of 2007 by the authors of the article to characterize the trends in the perception of young people of environmental issues in a specially protected nature territory.The perception of environmental issues was analyzed according to Bolscho environmental awareness dimensions. In general, the understanding and knowledge of environmental issues of the young people surveyed living in the territory of North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve (NVBR) is positive, especially on resource-responsible, economical use. In terms of attitudes and values, young people express their support for the preservation of cultural traditions. With regard to the visibility of the NVBR, more work is required to explain the functions and possibilities of the NVBR. Compared to 2007, the feeling of pride of the fact that a respondent lives in a protected nature area has increased.

265 Impact of Firefighter Participation in Burn Survivor Community Reintegration: A Qualitative Analysis

Community reintegration programs are vital in rehabilitation of burn survivors. Social interaction in the community can be a challenge for survivors as there is limited professional support after discharge. Early research validates a program’s ability to build resolve and foster coping skills in real life settings. Our program sees firefighters volunteer in community recreational outings with pediatric burn survivors. Very few outcomes exist identifying firefighter response to involvement in such programs; we created a quality improvement survey to gain firefighter perspective on the impact. Following volunteer participation, firefighters completed a short, comprehensive questionnaire (13 yes/no, 7 open answer questions) designed to gauge overall experience of the program. Questions included assessing comfort level of engagement, impact on their job, and effect on their view of their role in burn survivor recovery and reintegration. Final questions addressed recommending participation to others and gave an opportunity to add comments. Surveys anonymously distributed via an electronic system with data blinded and compiled by a research assistant. Thirty surveys were completed, majority of volunteers having participated in outings either 1–3 times or more than 7 times. Firefighters reported overall positive experiences, involvement improved comfort level with strangers and enhanced communication skills, with 80% reporting positive impact on their view of themselves as first responders and role in recovery of burn survivors. Comments reflected feelings of pride, admiration, and greater perspective for what patients and families endure. Additionally, requests for input on quality improvement were constructive. Responses wholly expressed success in realizing the mission; 100% of respondents stated they are very likely to recommend the program to others. Development of a reintegration program is important in enriching the rehabilitation of survivors and first responders in the burn community. Pilot data reveals the positive impact volunteering with a reintegration program can have on firefighters. Involvement is obviously rewarding, resulting in pride in their role within the community, and awareness of outcomes for burn survivors. Responses included several reports of increased empathy and resilience, validating the mission of the program for firefighters and patients. Our program embodies a successful model for achieving collaboration and fostering awareness within the community. Growth of our program is driven by feedback provided in the survey. Despite positive outcomes, in-depth analysis of effects of involvement in community reintegration in firefighters is needed.

THE IMPACT OF SELF-CONSCIOUS EMOTIONS ON WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

Purpose: This paper seeks to explore the effect of emotions on sustainable purchasing in Arab countries, mainly Qatar and Egypt. Design/methodology/approach: The current investigation will empirically examine the effects of self-conscious emotions (private and public) on consumers’ ‘green’ purchasing behavior and test whether these actions are mediated by the following emotions: empathy, pride, and guilt. An online self-report survey was employed to collect data from 234 students and faculty members who are affiliated with Qatar University (Qatar) and Tanta University (Egypt). A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to determine what factors directly and indirectly influence one’s Willingness To Pay (WTP) for sustainable products. Findings: The results showed that private self-consciousness was significantly related to feelings of pride, while public self-consciousness was more closely associated with empathy. Feelings of guilt and pride were more likely to encourage participants to pay greater for sustainable products and services. Originality/value: The link between emotions and sustainable purchasing remains novel in Arab countries. Previous research has found that having ethical awareness toward sustainable purchasing does not amount to purchasing ‘green’ products. This will be the first study to explore the impact emotions can have on sustainable purchasing.

Nursing students' commitment and the mediating effect of stress

ObjectivesKnowing there is a shortage of qualified nurses throughout the healthcare industry, it is imperative that program administrators understand the factors that affect nursing students as they select and commit to their academic major. They should consider key influences on potential students as new recruiting and retention tactics are developed and employed. Thus, we develop the current study to understand factors that shape students' commitment to nursing. Specifically, we attempt to discern how potential career growth, students' understanding of available occupational specialties, family members, and instructors affect nursing students' commitment to their chosen academic program. In addition, we analyze the mediating effect of stress in order to explain why some factors have more influence than others do. By conducting this research, we hope to provide insight into how to better recruit potential students and retain existing students already enrolled in nursing programs. Design/setting/methodsData collection took place in 2016 at one public and one private nursing program. The sample is understanding of available occupational specialties of 167 nursing student who completed a structured survey. Career growth, occupational specialties, instructors' and family influence were measured to understand how they affected major commitment and by extension intention to stay with their nursing program. We also assessed the potential mediating effect of stress on students' commitment to the nursing major. Ordinary least squares regression (SPSS version 22) was then used to evaluate both direct and mediated relationships. ResultsBased on the analysis, potential career growth, students' understanding of available occupational specialties, and family members directly affect nursing students' level of commitment to their chosen academic major. Results indicate that when students learn about the growth potential of the nursing profession or the different occupational specialties available that they will be more committed to the chosen major. The students likely believe the nursing profession aligns with their personal ambitions and skillsets. In addition, results indicate that stress fully mediates the level of commitment a student has towards nursing as an academic major. Evidence from the nursing students in this study indicates that their level of commitment to nursing programs is harmed by high levels of experienced stress. Students may feel that they identify with this area of study, but if they are stressed they may believe they lack the necessary abilities to succeed and/or perceive the nursing profession as undesirable to them personally. ConclusionUnderstanding factors that influence students' commitment to an academic major is important to administrators as they work to improve the number of students enrolled in accredited nursing programs. Specifically, they can use insights from this study to better develop recruitment and retention programs by enabling students to garner feelings of pride, enthusiasm, and positively identify with the nursing profession.

Pride in my past: Influencing sustainable choices through behavioral recall

AbstractEmotional appraisal research has demonstrated that recalling a past behavior and its associated emotions can influence future behavior. However, how such recalled emotions shape sustainable consumer choice has not been examined. This study examines the role of recalled pride and guilt in shaping sustainable purchase intentions and the mediating role of anticipated pride and guilt. A conceptual model is proposed for motivating sustainable purchase intentions through the emotions associated with the behavioral recall. The model is applied in two experiments with online consumers examining purchase intentions of low carbon cars. Recalling feelings of pride associated with a past sustainability‐related behavior increases sustainable purchase intention, as compared with a neutral recall. This effect occurs through the mediation of both anticipated pride at the prospect of a sustainable behavior choice and anticipated guilt if the future choice is not sustainable. Similar hypotheses relating to recalled guilt at past unsustainable behavior were not supported. The study contributes to research on sustainable consumption, revealing an emotional route by which past behavior can influence future behavior. It also adds to emotional appraisal research by showing the role of specific self‐conscious emotions in forming this route, as prior research has focused more broadly on emotional valence.

Flying Off the Handle: Affective Influences on Decision Making and Action Tendencies in Real-World Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Scenarios

While not as glamorous as flying, aircraft maintenance is a fundamental of aviation safety, and improper or inadequate maintenance can have far reaching consequences. With this in mind, and considering the paucity of substantive research in aircraft maintenance engineering, this study investigated how affect influenced decision making and action tendency in real-world challenging maintenance engineering scenarios in general aviation (GA). A study was undertaken combining a naturalistic decision making (NDM) technique with the Appraisal Tendency Framework (ATF) to analyze 10 different scenarios collected from aircraft maintenance engineers. A total of 11 contextual factors were elicited from which seven specific emotions emerged: anger, frustration, pride, hope, guilt, fear, and contempt. In most instances, the emotion was found to be incidental, meaning that the feelings at the time of the decision were not normatively relevant for deciding. Anger and contempt created action tendencies for risk taking, while feelings of pride were found to have a protective effect. The findings suggest that affect regulation is an inherent part of the system, such that affect dysregulation may represent a potential contributing factor for negative outcomes arising from action tendencies associated with other complex system influences. Future research directions are given.

Mujeres-madres que trabajan. La resignificación de la maternidad en mujeres profesionistas en Guadalajara-México

The purpose of this article is to analyze the resignifications of motherhood among female professionals with children residing in Guadalajara, Mexico. We argue that the transformations of the representation of motherhood and of the mother—like sociocultural institutions—are promoted and suffered by those women who “want everything”, that is, those who do not give up their professional projects, and neither give up their reproductive capacities which they conceive as part of what being a woman means to them. To account for the above, we analyzed four biographical interviews conducted with the life story technique. The results show the tensions, conflicts and guilt experienced by the professional women who work and who are mothers, as well as the way in which they experience at the same time feelings of personal self-affirmation and feelings of pride.

AGAMA DAN KESALEHAN EKONOMI: Sebuah Potret Realitas di Kalangan Masyarakat Surabaya

Along with the industrialization policy in the New Order era, city expansion was a certainty. As a result, rural communities began to change significantly. The changes included economic activity patterns. In short, development as the New Orders jargon and symbol of progress has resulted in the collapse of the established rural traditional social structures. Suralaya community, as a part of the outskirts of Betawi, axperiences the same thing as the other parts of Betawi as a whole. It gets the effect of industrial area and city axpansion. The demographical and geographical pressures from Jakarta and Tangerang and Governmants industrialization policy really have long-term impact on Suralaya community. In facing such condition, Betawi society who devote their lives to their religion, that is, Islam, make the religion as basic identity because Islamic teachings give them feeling of pride and safe protection from any threats. Nevertheless, we have to consider that in reality, religion is not the only determiningfactor. We are sure that religion is only one of the factors that influence human behavior, and that religion itself is also influenced by the material condition of a society. However, we have to acknowledge that religion reflects on the traders daily behavior, together with their experiences, spirit, talents, and struggles in their business. We can see those from the way they interpret the religious symbols in relation to their daily business activities.

Associations between actual and ideal self-perceptions and anticipated pride among young adults

This study examined associations between actual and ideal fitness-related self-discrepancies and anticipated pride. Participants (N = 130) read a hypothetical scenario and were asked to anticipate their feelings of pride and provide reports of actual and ideal self-perceptions. Actual and ideal selves accounted for 29% of the variance in anticipated pride. The congruence between actual and ideal selves was positively, linearly associated with anticipated pride (b = 0.43, p < 0.001). When ideal selves were greater than actual selves, participants reported anticipating more pride (b = −0.70, p < 0.001). Experiencing congruence between actual and ideal selves may be important cognitive appraisals related to the anticipation of pride.

Save the sharks: reevaluating and (re)valuing feared predators

ABSTRACT Much of the history of the human–shark relationship has been based on fear. For centuries, the goal has been to kill sharks that come near boats or beaches. Yet, there is a growing trend of more positive feelings toward local shark populations. In this article, we demonstrate that feelings of pride toward sharks can serve as an opposing force to fear, and can moderate the way fear affects support for policies to kill sharks. This study reports on two surveys of pride toward sharks from Eastern and Western Australia. These highlight a new and emerging story for people and sharks. We argue that the combination of shifts in the understanding of sharks’ motives during human–shark interactions and higher levels of pride support a new political dynamic in which the public prefers nonlethal responses to shark bites in support of a burgeoning “save the sharks” movement.

Neo-Hindutva affective economies: feelings of pride and offense among Surinamese Hindus in the Netherlands

ABSTRACTThis article contests the role that India as a ‘motherland’ plays in the circulation of neo-Hindutva sentiments by exploring the relationship between reterritorialisation, affect and citizenship identities among Surinamese Hindus in the Netherlands. Following Jones (2016, 2014), this article posits that Surinamese Hindu citizens are ‘conditional’, which causes some community actors to strategically reterritorialise Hindu practices and identity as part of the Dutch landscape. Other groups protest their place as conditional citizens as they see their religious practices under threat by cultural and neo-colonial appropriations. In this way, what it means to be Hindu is circulated through a neo-Hindutva affective economy (Ahmed 2004). By presenting ethnographic data that explores the importance of pride and offense as ways to ‘be Hindu’ at an HSS shakha summer camp in 2016 and during a Hindu protest campaign in 2015, this article aims to make sense of the ways in which neo-Hindutva sentiments associated with reterritorialisation strategies respond to citizenship regimes that exist in the Netherlands today.

Recycle more, waste more? When recycling efforts increase resource consumption

Governments spend significant amounts of money to promote recycling lifestyles to the public; however, they cannot maximize the beneficial effects of recycling without avoiding its potential negative consequences. In this research, we empirically examine the effects of recycling efforts on subsequent resource usage by analyzing the online survey data of 356 participants in China. Based on partial least squares-structural equation modeling, the results show that (1) recycling efforts have a positive effect on resource consumption, which suggests that engaging in recycling leads individuals to use significantly more resources in the future; (2) the positive effect of recycling efforts on resource consumption is mediated by environmental self-identity and feelings of pride; and (3) consideration of future consequences negatively moderates the effects of recycling efforts on environmental self-identity and on feelings of pride. That is, consideration of future consequences mitigates the positive effects of recycling efforts on resource consumption. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications of our findings.
