АКТУАЛЬНІСТЬ ПРОЄКТУВАННЯ ГОТЕЛЬНОГО ПІДПРИЄМСТВА З РЕАБІЛІТАЦІЙНИМ ЦЕНТРОМ ДЛЯ ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ

In connection with the continuation of military operations in the country, the increase in the number of enlisted men for military service and the complicated consequences that arise during return of the defenders to peaceful life, the rehabilitation of servicemen is urgent. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and develop practical recommendations for the provision of rehabilitation services for recovery of the military personnel in hotel enterprises. The research methodology was based on general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, classification and review-analytical method, as well as the study of scientific literature on the research topic. The definition of the concept of rehabilitation is formulated and both traditional and modern methods of rehabilitation are considered. A study of the existing rehabilitation centers for conscripts operating on the territory of Ukraine was conducted. Taking into account that the armed aggression of the Russian Federation continues, we see the need to open new enterprises and introduce rehabilitation services against the background of health resorts and resort hotels. The Western part of the country is a promising location for such institutions, due to its favorable climate, clean air and incredible landscapes. The basic requirements and standards for the establishment of a hotel enterprise with a military rehabilitation center are outlined, for proper recovery conditions and a positive emotional impact on the defenders of our country. The design or reconstruction of hotel enterprises with centers for rehabilitation of the military personnel will have a positive impact not only directly on the defenders of Ukraine, but will also affect the economy of the state, its social and humanitarian spheres as a whole. The authors define perspective of the further research in a scientific search for the most "efficiently working" recovery methods for military personnel and to determine the services that will be offered by the rehabilitation center at the hotel enterprise.

Associations between context and affect within the daily lives of cancer caregivers.

This study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to test the association between activity, location, and social company contexts with cancer caregivers' in-the-moment affect to identify precisely when and where to deliver psychological interventions for caregivers. Current cancer caregivers (N = 25) received 8 EMA prompts per day for 7 consecutive days. At each prompt, caregivers reported their current positive affect and negative affect, as well as what they were doing, where they were located, and who they were with. Multilevel logistic regressions tested the associations between caregivers' contexts with their own person-mean-centered state (concurrent momentary level) and trait (overall weekly average) positive or negative affect. Caregivers reported lower state negative affect, as well as higher state positive affect, when socializing (ps < .001), when at a public location (ps < .03), and when around their friends, family, spouse/partner, or care recipient (i.e., person with cancer, ps < .02), relative to when not endorsing the context. Caregivers also reported lower state negative affect when eating/drinking or engaging in leisure (ps < .01; but no parallel effects for state positive affect). Caregivers reported higher state negative affect while working, when at their workplace, or when around work colleagues (ps < .001) and lower state positive affect when at home or alone (ps < .03). Results suggest the pertinence of a behavioral activation framework to mitigate the emotional strain of caregiving. Interventions that facilitate caregivers' ability to socialize with a range of friends and family, including their loved one with cancer, outside of the home may have the strongest positive emotional impact.

Understanding impulse buying: a two-faceted tale

PurposeDrawing upon the elaboration likelihood model, this study aims to illuminate contradictory findings from previous research regarding the impact of positive and negative emotions, as well as promotions, on impulse buying (IB). Specifically, this study takes a two-faceted approach to IB, considering both affective IB and cognitive IB.Design/methodology/approachA proposed model of IB is tested using a mall intercept survey.FindingsThe findings provide evidence for the two-dimensional nature of IB. Cognitive and affective IB are affected differently by promotions and emotions, and in turn, have different impacts on cognitive dissonance (CD). Specifically, promotions have a positive effect only on cognitive IB, while positive emotions have a positive effect only on affective IB. Additionally, cognitive IB positively affects CD, while affective IB does not.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research could explore different types of IB and unplanned purchases, consider the valence and arousal dimensions of emotions and examine how technological changes impact IB. Additionally, studying satisfaction as a mediator between IB and cognitive dissonance can contribute to the understanding of IB post-purchase outcomes.Practical implicationsBy tailoring promotional techniques to cognitive IB and using positive emotions to stimulate affective IB, retailers can enhance the effectiveness of strategies. Furthermore, post-purchase strategies can be developed to reduce the negative effects of CD.Originality/valueBy exploring the different dimensions of IB and their relationships with CD, this study enhances our understanding of the underlying processes and mechanisms that drive consumer IB behavior during and after shopping trips.

Get the happiness out-An online experiment on the causal effects of positive emotions on giving.

Our study provides new evidence on the impact of positive emotions on voluntary contributions to public goods in a natural setting. Using a lab-in-field experiment, we induce positive incidental emotions randomly and analyze their effects on donations using a dictator game with multiple beneficiaries. Although we find no significant overall effect of positive incidental emotions on donation levels, our results show a significant shift in the allocation of donations towards the host charity. These findings shed light on the complex role of emotions in donation behavior and can provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to increase charitable giving.

The influence of innovative sports on the schoolchildren’s motivation to physical education lessons

The article shows the formation of interest and realized opportunities to encourage schoolchildren to be physically active in physical education lessons through the implementation of variable modules of korfball and floorball, which are defined by the state for students to study in the model curriculum of general secondary education institutions. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of the introduction of innovative sports in physical education lessons by finding out the level of increasing children's motivation to engage in physical education. The influence of innovative sports on the motivation of 31 senior pupils to physical education lessons was determined with the help of two questionnaires used before and after the implementation of korfball and floorball moduls. The organized questionnaire and interpretation of the results contributed to the study of pupils' motivation to engage in physical activity in physical education lessons by means of studying innovative sports games of korfball and floorball. The advantages of innovative sports in comparison with the usual physical education lessons were revealed. We state the desire of the study participants to master innovative variable modules of korfball and floorball due to a number of certain advantages: positive emotional impact, effective physical development and increase of physical fitness level according to pupils' self-perception, possibility of competitive activity and communication with friends in a game atmosphere.

Development of a Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) Measure to Assess Emotional Impact of Treatment for Type2 Diabetes.

Patients receiving treatment for type2 diabetes (T2D) may experience an emotional impact associated with treatment-related changes. A patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure assessing both positive and negative emotional impact of medication treatment for T2D is needed to better understand the patient experience of treatment. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the emotional impact of treatment for T2D and support the development of a questionnaire to assess the emotional impact of treatment for T2D. Exit interviews were conducted with patients with T2D participating in the SURPASS-2 and SURPASS-3 trials for tirzepatide. The exit interviews included a concept elicitation section focusing on the emotional impact of their study treatment. Results were used to develop two questionnaires that were evaluated in cognitive interviews with patients with T2D. The concept elicitation interviews included 28 patients (mean age 57.6years; 64.3% female). Most patients reported positive changes in emotions associated with tirzepatide, including increased confidence (n = 23; 82.1%), hope (n = 23; 82.1%), self-esteem (n = 23; 82.1%), relief (n = 22; 78.6%), optimism (n = 21; 75.0%), sense of control (n = 21; 75.0%), happiness (n = 15; 53.6%), and motivation (n = 15; 53.6%), as well as reduced worry/anxiety (n = 19; 67.9%). Negative emotional impact was less commonly reported but included frustration (n = 2; 7.1%), worry/anxiety (n = 1; 3.6%), fear (n = 1; 3.6%), and feeling depressed (n = 1; 3.6%). Two new PROs, the Emotional Impact of Diabetes Treatment Questionnaires (EIDTQ, status and comparison versions), were developed based on these finding. The status version assesses the emotional impact of current treatment, while the comparison version allows for comparison of the current treatment to a previous treatment. The questionnaires were refined on the basis of cognitive interviews with 20 additional patients (mean age 58.3years; 60.0% female), and results suggest that the final instruments were clear, comprehensible, and relevant to patients. The EIDTQ-Status and Comparison measures can be used as a supplement to clinical outcomes, such as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body weight, to provide a broader picture of the patient's emotional experience with medication treatment for T2D.

A Systematic Review of Critical Success Factors in Blended Learning

Against the backdrop of the post-pandemic period, there is an increasing need for blended learning in modern higher education systems. Critical success factors for blended learning should be considered as key indicators of learning outcomes. Therefore, the aim is to systematically review studies that examine the critical success factors for blended learning from the perspectives of the learner, instructor, course, design, technology, and environment. Eighty-two articles were analysed according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis) principles. The results show that critical success factors in these six dimensions have a positive impact on blended learning outcomes. These critical success factors are mainly learner characteristics, teacher characteristics, course materials and objectives, learning characteristics according to institutional objectives, ICT system, and learning environment. Future research could explore the impact of positive emotions on student and teacher learning outcomes in blended learning.

Impact of positive and negative emotions on protest for institutional reform: An analysis of #EndSars Twitter posts

A protest is a collective action undertaken by a group of people to achieve a common goal. Participation in protests is motivated by appraisals of a social condition. The dual pathway model of collective action has been extended to consider both negative and positive emotional paths to protest. This study further shows the prevalence of positive and negative emotions as they differ systematically between the different phases of protest. This study divides the protest period into four phases: before the trigger event, during the trigger event, during the protest, and reform announcement. A sentimental analysis of how positive and negative emotions vary across the four phases of protest was conducted using the Twitter posts of the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria. Findings revealed that both positive and negative emotions co-occur alongside the protest phases. Trust was dominant before the trigger event, fear was dominant during the trigger event, anger was dominant during the protest and joy was dominant following the reform announcement. Findings from this study indicate that fear and anger instigate protest. Anticipation motivates protest and joy is the feeling of satisfaction experienced when the goal of a protest is achieved.

Impact of Positive Emotions on the Willingness to Communicate in Second Language

Globally, second language (L2) education aims to empower the learners with skills and motivation necessary for effective communication. The current study investigated the association between ten positive emotions and the Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in L2. The emotions studied were joy, gratitude, interest, serenity, amusement, hope, pride, awe, inspiration, and love. While previous research conducted on this topic was largely confined to the Western context, this study incorporated the Pakistani context as well to establish a more comprehensive picture. Three hundred (300) undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Islamabad, Pakistan took part in the research. The findings revealed that gratitude, pride, hope, inspiration, and amusement tend to impact students’ WTC in L2. The results offer many practical insights for policymakers, teachers, and higher education students. HEIs may develop/conduct a variety of policies, strategies, initiatives, trainings, and workshops to address L2 communication based on the findings of this research.

English as Foreign Language (EFL) Teachers’ Efficacy and Positive Achievement Emotions: Relations to Instructional Changes After Attending a Study Abroad Program

Due to government policy, the number of study abroad professional development program for EFL teachers increased greatly in China during recent years. Study abroad program aims to help EFL teachers improve their knowledge and teaching practices, which requires them to make adjustments to their traditional teaching styles accordingly. Hence, teachers may experience strong emotional reactions when they are faced with different modes of teaching methods. From the perspective of “emotion”, this study used control-value theory of achievement emotions as the theoretical framework to examine the relationship between teacher efficacy, positive achievement emotions, and instructional changes among 386 Chinese EFL teachers who attended study abroad programs. Purposive sampling was used in data collection. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that teacher efficacy correlated positively with positive achievement emotions (enjoyment, hope, and pride) and instructional changes. Positive achievement emotions mediated the relationship between teacher efficacy and instructional changes. Findings showed the impact of teacher efficacy and positive achievement emotions on changes in teachers’ thinking and instructional practices. Based on the findings and limitations of this study, implications on teacher education and professional development program, directions and suggestions for future studies are discussed.

Because I'm happy - positive affect and its predictive value for future disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases: a retrospective cohort study.

While the detrimental impact of negative emotions on the clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and quality of life has been extensively investigated, evidence for a potential impact of positive emotions is scarce. We aim to analyse contributing factors of positive affect and their predictive value for disease course in IBD patients. In this retrospective cohort study, epidemiological, psychosocial and IBD disease characteristics of Swiss IBD cohort study patients were analysed longitudinally. Epidemiological, psychosocial and disease characteristics were extracted from the database of the Swiss IBD cohort study. Participants' positive emotions were assessed cross-sectionally with the seven-item Marburg questionnaire (range 1-6) addressing positive affect in different aspects of daily life. Predictors of positive emotions were identified by linear regression. The quantitative longitudinal impact of positive emotions on the further disease course was analysed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Among 702 IBD patients, those reporting more positive emotions were found to have significantly less intense medical treatment, less pain and fewer depressive symptoms (p < 0.05). A higher percentage of variability in positive emotions was explained by pain (36%) and depressive symptoms (13%) than by epidemiological characteristics (0.3%), or characteristics of IBD and its treatment (2.4%). Patients with higher levels of positive emotions (score > 3.5) experienced longer flare-free survival, also after adjusting for confounders (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.39, p < 0.05). The absence of pain and depressive symptoms were the strongest drivers for high positive affect. Higher scores of positive affect were associated with longer disease-free survival in IBD patients.

The Arts as a Means of Developing Emotional Intelligence in the Context of Neuropedagogy

The article discusses the emotional intelligence of students and the influence of art on its development. The relevance of a developed harmonious personality has always been a priority in contemporary education, and emotional intelligence in recent years has become a revolutionary tool in the development of higher professional and pedagogical training. Studying emotional intelligence represents one of the important tasks in neuropedagogy. Therefore, the influence of art on students’ emotional intelligence can turn out to be an effective solution and is the purpose of this research. The analysis of research of teaching methodology for art subjects in secondary schools allows us to conclude that art acts as a beacon in the development of emotional intelligence in school education. In this article, we consider key issues such as the genesis of emotions, the concept of feelings and emotions, mood and emotionality, the impact of positive emotions on personality and understanding the concept of emotional intelligence. Emotional capability and mood are of undisputable importance for art. The development of the emotional capability requires a specific mood, which leads us to believe that the teacher’s support is crucial in the process where a student cognizes their own personality. The question arose concerning the importance of emotional literacy with regular academic subjects. This proves that a child's development should not be confined to academic subjects only, meaning, EQ and IQ are equally important in today's world. The adequate formation of a child’s personality calls for the balance of both EQ and IQ where art is to be given significant attention.

Bots with Feelings: Should AI Agents Express Positive Emotion in Customer Service?

The rise of emotional intelligence technology and the recent debate about the possibility of a “sentient” artificial intelligence (AI) urge the need to study the role of emotion during people’s interactions with AIs. In customer service, human employees are increasingly replaced by AI agents, such as chatbots, and often these AI agents are equipped with emotion-expressing capabilities to replicate the positive impact of human-expressed positive emotion. But is it indeed beneficial? This research explores how, when, and why an AI agent’s expression of positive emotion affects customers’ service evaluations. Through controlled experiments in which the subjects interacted with a service agent (AI or human) to resolve a hypothetical service issue, we provide answers to these questions. We show that AI-expressed positive emotion can influence customers affectively (by evoking customers’ positive emotions) and cognitively (by violating customers’ expectations) in opposite directions. Thus, positive emotion expressed by an AI agent (versus a human employee) is less effective in facilitating service evaluations. We further underscore that, depending on customers’ expectations toward their relationship with a service agent, AI-expressed positive emotion may enhance or hurt service evaluations. Overall, our work provides useful guidance on how and when companies can best deploy emotion-expressing AI agents.

Emotivity Category as a Means of Popularizing the Political Propaganda Video of the Communist Party of China (CPC)

The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of the emotional categories in the implementation of political propaganda and the formation of public opinion. The subject of the paper is the peculiarities of the characteristics of the emotional category, the object is the Russian version of political propaganda video "Communist Party of China". The paper adopts descriptive, contextual, and emotive analysis methods. The video is a human-centred text, in which the personalization phenomena are the sources of the emotional category: the personalization in this video (CPC acts as one character) allows us to form a positive, attractive image of the CPC. The verbal (lexical, syntactic means) and non-verbal emotional components of the video (soundtrack, video sequence, color scheme) are identified, the interaction of which contributes to the emergence of a positive emotional impact exerted by the video on the recipient, and the formation of a positive image of the CPC as a great party leading the country to prosperity, which should leave a positive impression on the recipient. In conclusion, we state that emotional categories play a major role in creating emotional impressions, which is closely related to the technique of personalization. The point of innovation of the paper is emphasized the role of this personalized method in popularizing political propaganda.

Do emotions evoked by music modulate visuospatial working memory capacity? A physiological study

Previous studies have shown that emotions evoked through music can have transient effects on cognitive performance. Considering the importance of working memory (WM) in the processing of new information, in this study, we investigated the impact of positive and negative emotions evoked through music on visuospatial WM performance using a within-subjects design. Moreover, we concomitantly recorded the participants’ physiological responses during listening to musical stimuli. Seventy-eight participants were allocated to counterbalanced positive, negative, and neutral emotional inductions through music (EIM) followed by an adaptive visuospatial WM task. Results revealed that participants’ visuospatial WM performance was increased after positive EIM compared with negative and neutral EIMs transiently. We also observed increased skin conductance levels during positive EIM compared with baseline and a lower heart rate throughout positive EIM than the other conditions. Overall, these findings suggest that music evoking positive emotions can boost visuospatial WM performance. This is the first study to explore cognitive performance after EIM and physiological responses to musical stimuli simultaneously, which may have important practical implications since we engage in cognitively demanding activities after listening to music that could evoke happy or sad emotions.

The effect of the severity of neurocognitive disorders on emotional and motor responses to music.

The successful design of musical interventions for dementia patients requires knowledge of how rhythmic abilities change with disease severity. In this study, we tested the impact of the severity of the neurocognitive disorders (NCD) on the socioemotional and motor responses to music in three groups of patients with Major NCD, Mild NCD, or No NCD. Patients were asked to tap to a metronomic or musical rhythm while facing a live musician or through a video. We recorded their emotional facial reactions and their sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) abilities. Patients with No NCD or Mild NCD expressed positive socioemotional reactions to music, but patients with Major NCD did not, indicating a decrease in the positive emotional impact of music at this stage of the disease. SMS to a metronome was less regular and less precise in patients with a Major NCD than in patients with No NCD or Mild NCD, which was not the case when tapping with music, particularly in the presence of a live musician, suggesting the relevance of live performance for patients with Major NCD. These findings suggest that the socioemotional and motor reactions to music are negatively affected by the progression of the NCD.

Impact of affective attitudes on team outcomes in small business contexts: Lessons from a simulation

ABSTRACT The study examines the impact of positive and negative emotions by individual members on team outcomes in a small business context. Using a simulation, the research conducts a survey of individual perceptions to examine team dynamics over a three-month period. Initial negative emotions on team tasks were found to lower intra-team trust, while positive emotions increased trust through team identification. Initial identification was associated with improved team outcomes. Through subsequent relationship conflict, increases in negative (positive) emotions lowers (raises) team cohesion and performance. For small businesses, the results suggest that leaders should address assigned tasks to help members mitigate initial negative emotions. Leaders should also monitor employee emotions as work progresses, given that affective attitudes continue to impact team outcomes. In addition, pairing employees with previous work experiences may help build team identification and so improve outcomes.

The traces of imagination: early attention bias toward positively imagined stimuli

Positively imagined activities may capture visual attention due to an increase in positive value. Increasing attention toward activities, in turn, may prove useful for clinical interventions aiming to motivate behavioral engagement. Employing a within-subject experimental design, we examined the effect of positive imagery on attention using a visual probe task with concurrent eye tracking. Adults from the general population (N = 54) imagined performing activities involving visually presented objects in a positive (focusing on the positive emotional impact) or neutral (focusing on a neutral circumstance) manner. They then completed a visual probe task using picture stimuli depicting one object per type of imagery. Positive compared to neutral imagery increased self-reported behavioral motivation and biased the direction, but not the duration, of gaze toward objects associated with the imagined activities. An exploratory analysis showed a positive association between the direction bias and depressive symptoms. Our findings build on existing literature on positive imagery as a motivational amplifier by highlighting early attention as an underlying cognitive mechanism.

Short Report: Outcomes for siblings associated with sub-groups of autistic children with intellectual disability identified by latent profile analysis

BackgroundRecent research suggests that having a brother or sister with autism may contribute to increased positive or negative emotional or psychological impact on siblings. AimsTo use a novel multidimensional data analysis method to further understand outcomes for siblings of autistic children. Methods and Procedures318 siblings of children with a recorded autism diagnosis and an intellectual disability were included for latent profile analysis. Five variables (DBC disruptive and anxiety; VABS II communication, daily living, and socialization skills) were used to identify sub-groups of autistic children. Primary carers reported on sibling relationship quality (items from the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire warmth/closeness and conflict scales), and siblings’ behavioral and emotional problems. Outcomes and resultsThe profile groups differed in their levels of ID coupled with disruptive behavior, emotional problems and adaptive skills. Profiles included a severe ID, low behavior and emotional problems and low adaptive skills group; a group with mild ID coupled with high adaptive skills and low emotional and behavioral problems; and a mild ID group with high emotional and behavioral problems. Conflict in the sibling relationship differed across the profile groups (F (4304) = 15.13, p < .001). Conclusions and implicationsSiblings of autistic children with the highest support needs were reported to have the lowest conflict in their relationships. Conversely, siblings of the autistic children with the highest levels of externalizing behaviors and anxiety were reported to have the highest levels of conflict in the sibling relationship.
