Bimbingan Kelompok Berbasis Cerita Rakyat: Menemukan Identitas Diri Remaja di Tengah Gelombang K-Pop

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of folklore-based group guidance in developing students' self-identity. This research uses quantitative experimental research methods with a one group pretest posttest research design. The research sample consisted of 9 students taken using purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a Likert scale model, which was then analyzed using the normality test and the Wilcoxon test. In general, the research findings explain that folklore-based group guidance is effective in developing junior high school students' self-identity. Specifically: 1) Students' self-identity before being given folklore-based group guidance based on data processing results obtained an average score of 55.4 so that based on the pre-test results it can be seen that students' level of self-identity tends to be moderate. 2). Students' self-identity after being given folklore-based group guidance based on the results of data processing obtained an average score of 77.1 so that based on the post-test results it can be seen that the level of students' self-identity tends to be high. It is hoped that the research results can contribute to subsequent research and provide an overview of the research series.

Narrative Analysis in the Development of Teachers’ Reflective Skills

Objectives of the research: The aim of the theoretical research is to elicit the meaning of improving narrative competence, particularly narrative analysis for developing teachers’ reflective skills.
 Research issues or problems: The research question is posed as follows: Can a narrative, narrative analysis in particular, foster development of teachers’ reflective skills, and if so, how?
 Research methods: The method used in the research is hermeneutic analysis, which matches the field of content narrative analysis.
 A short description of the context of the issue: The content analyzed in the text is descriptions of narrative, narrative competence, and narrative analysis, as well as reflective skills such as being, disclosing speaking, testing, and probing – according to concept of Joseph Raelin, to some extent. An important goal of the research is to show the significant meaning of narrative competence, especially narrative analysis, for developing reflective skills by teacher–practitioners. The relationships between narrative, narrative analysis, and improving these skills can induce the need to add another skill, such as an implicative one, that would be crucial for further personal and professional development towards achieving a higher level of self-identity.
 Process of argumentation: The research began the selection of an appropriate scope of terms which match one another and can achieve the aim and answer the research question. The analysis of these terms led to building the relationships between narrative, narrative competence, and reflective skills, followed by narrative analysis and reflective skills that are important for personal and professional teacher development. That resulted in some implications that may be useful in educating teachers and students and for education in general.Findings: The results show the importance of the relationship between the aspects described above. Additionally, original, result occurred in creating a new reflective skill, such as the implicative one dedicated to further self-development.
 Conclusions and recommendations: The hermeneutic analysis revealed a correlation between the development of a teacher’s narrative competence, particularly narrative analysis, and practicing reflective skills. However, further research is needed to bring about changes in educating both teachers and students, which demands attention be paid to the authentic reflective/narrative approach in practice. This could be reflected in core curriculum subjects in university and secondary school education.

Consumerism and its Relation to Self -Identity: A Field Study on the Students of the University of Jordan

The study aims at identifying the relation between consumerism and the self identity. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed as the study tool and consisted of two parts; the first part comprised of the demographic data whereas the second one comprised of a measurement scales of the consumerism (four-dimension scale) and self identity (one-dimension scale). On a theoretical level, this study considered some of the assumptions of Zygmunt Bauman’s work, especially “Liquid Modernity” theory. The social survey method was used and applied to an organized random sample from the students of the University of Jordan. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, correlation, T-test and the multi-regression test were used. The study concluded that the sample subjects scored an average level for each of the cultural dimension, subjective dimension, and symbolic dimension of consumerism. However, the social dimension scored a low level. The study revealed that the sample subjects had high level of self identity. The independent variable (consumerism) interprets (0.026) of the variables occurring in the dependent variable (self identity). There was negative correlation between the consumerism in its subjective dimension and the self identity that resulted in reduced identification of the self identity. It was revealed that the symbolic dimension of consumerism is the second reason for the changes affecting the self identity; in fact, there was a positive correlation between them. However, the other dimensions of consumerism were not statistically significant.

No good deed is too small: field experimental studies of different self-identities and workplace saving behavior

PurposeThis paper aims to propose that the extent to which activating self-identity increases resource-saving behavior varies across these three levels of self-identities. In particular, the authors hypothesize that activating relational or collective self-identity increases saving behavior more than activating individual self-identity does. Moreover, activating relational self-identity has a stronger impact on workplace saving behavior than activating collective self-identity does. In addition, the authors suggest that prosocial motive mediates the relationship between the three levels of self-identity and saving behavior.Design/methodology/approachWorkplace saving behavior such as office supply savings could help save organizational resources and build more environmentally conscious organizations. Drawing from self-identity theory, the authors examine the influences of three types of self-identities (i.e. individual, relational and collective self-identities) on workplace resource-saving behaviors.FindingsThe results obtained from a field experiment conducted in a Chinese company and an online vignette study generally support the proposed hypotheses. The authors also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the findings.Originality/valueThe authors contribute to the literature on saving behavior in organizations by studying an individual-level predictor from the perspective of self-identity and the research on self-identity and saving behavior by testing the mediating role played by prosocial motive. Based on the findings, the authors also propose some human resource policies to increase workplace saving behavior.

The attitude of young people in the city of Yakutsk to DNA-testing

ABSTRACT This pilot research was one of the first sociological studies with general questions on genetic testing with 300 participants, 75% of which were representatives of one people – the Sakha. A quantitative method was used: a sociological survey with quota sampling (Δ ± 5%), held in February – March 2018 in the City of Yakutsk (n = 350). Analysis of the survey results have shown that the respondents have low levels of awareness about the DNA-testing method: 72.3% “do not know about the method”. Only 18.7% of respondents knew that since 2000 the Medical-Genetic Centre of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) conducts DNA diagnostics for hereditary diseases, with 81.0% replying that they didn’t know that. The questionnaire has shown that 90.3% of participants would like to undergo DNA-testing to identify their susceptibility to genetic diseases. Our questionnaire has shown high levels of self-identity among the young Sakha and their desire to learn about their belonging to a specific ethnicity (49.3%) with the assistance of DNA-testing. Furthermore, based on the answers relating to motivations for undergoing DNA-testing, we can say that the respondents have confirmed the peculiarities of their national mindset, specifically, high value of children for a family: “concern for the health of my future children” was a great motivator for taking the test (50.3%).

Self-Identity and Academic Achievement among Secondary School Students in Malaysia

This study aims to examine the relationship between self-identity and academic achievement among secondary school students in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. A total of 391 form four students from all over Sarawak were involved in this study. Quantitative methods in the form of a survey and descriptive analysis were employed. The Self-Identity Instrument (IJD) was created to measure the level of self-identity in secondary school students. This study utilized three types of data analysis. The descriptive analyses of frequency and percentage were used to describe the level of student’s self-identity. A further inferential analysis was also conducted and findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between self-identity and academic achievement. From the results of this study, it was concluded that students with a high level of self-identity are more likely to have better academic achievements. Therefore, in order to improve academic performance and achievement, an individual student must have the ability to develop his or her own self-identity.

Creating life-long anglers: impacts of a high school fishing program on youth fishing, related knowledge, confidence and perception of barriers

Youth fishing programs are an important gateway into continued fishing participation. With the current focus on R3 (recruitment, retention, and reactivation), it is important to understand the impacts fishing programs can have on their participants' knowledge, confidence, and interest in continuation. In this study, we conducted retrospective pre-post surveys of participants in a high school fishing program in Florida, USA, and compared results to a group of non-participating peers. We found significant increases in knowledge and confidence related to fishing skills among participants and significantly higher skills and confidence reported by participants as compared to non-participants. We also saw higher levels of self-identity as an angler as well as more desire to continue fishing on their own as compared to non-participants. The positive impacts of programs like this are important to the recruitment and retention of young anglers and continued evaluation of their effectiveness will lead to improved outreach programming.

Relationship between Self-Identity Confusion and Internet Addiction among College Students: The Mediating Effects of Psychological Inflexibility and Experiential Avoidance.

Internet addiction (IA) has become a major public health problem among college students. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between self-identity confusion and IA and the mediating effects of psychological inflexibility and experiential avoidance (PI/EA) indicators in college students. A total of 500 college students (262 women and 238 men) were recruited. Their levels of self-identity were evaluated using the Self-Concept and Identity Measure. Their levels of PI/EA were examined using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II. The severity of IA was assessed using the Chen Internet Addiction Scale. The relationships among self- identity, PI/EA, and IA were examined using structural equation modeling. The severity of self-identity confusion was positively associated with both the severity of PI/EA and the severity of IA. In addition, the severity of PI/EA indicators was positively associated with the severity of IA. These results demonstrated that the severity of self-identity confusion was related to the severity of IA, either directly or indirectly. The indirect relationship was mediated by the severity of PI/EA. Self-identity confusion and PI/EA should be taken into consideration by the community of professionals working on IA. Early detection and intervention of self-identity confusion and PI/EA should be the objectives for programs aiming to lower the risk of IA.

Head Transplantation: The Immune System, Phantom Sensations, and the Integrated Mind

The principal focus of this paper is to consider the implications of head and neck transplantation surgery on the issue of personal identity. To this end, it is noted that the immune system has not only been established to impose a level of self-identity on bodily cells, it has also been implicated in mental development and the regulation of mental state. In this it serves as a paradigm for the mind as the product of cephalic and extracephalic systems. The importance of bodily systems in identity is then discussed in relation to phantom tissue syndrome. The data strongly indicate that, even if surgically successful, head and neck transplantation will result in the loss of the continuity of personal identity.

----------------- (Rationale and Development of a Model for Increasing the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Public Civil Servants on the Basis of a Person-centered Approach to Management)

A comprehensive study of personal and professional identity allows us to judge not only the general level of social, professional and personal comfort, but also to anticipate the level of professional potential of the surveyed, taking into account the conditions and factors of both organizational and personal order, to predict the effectiveness of their professional activities. This approach also makes it possible to develop recommendations and proposals for increasing the level of self-identity of the individual, which is important in the development and implementation of such a management training program for persons included in the management reserve, which will further improve the performance of trainees in the future.

Entrepreneurial Self-Identity: Predictors and Effects Within the Theory of Planned Behavior Framework

Purpose To combine the identity and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) approaches to entrepreneurship, we investigated unique main effects as well as moderating effects of an entrepreneurial self-identity in the TPB-entrepreneurship framework. We also investigated predictors of an entrepreneurial self-identity. Design/methodology/approach Considering a process model of entrepreneurship, we analyzed two cross-sectional T1 samples of German scientists with regard to two central tasks along the entrepreneurial process (business idea development and business founding) via path model analyses as well as data from follow-up surveys collected at T2 and T3 via regression analyses. Findings Self-identity predicted founding intentions, above and beyond the effect of the TPB variables. Moreover, self-identity showed a characteristic moderating effect with TPB-intention predictors. Their effect was weaker or even zero at low levels of self-identity. In addition, self-identity forecasted behavior, but had no unique main or moderating effect on behavior in the TPB framework. Self-identity was predictable by past behavior, personality structure, recalled adolescent competencies, and early parental role models. Moreover, an engagement in entrepreneurial activity led to an increase in self-identity over time. Implications The results suggest that self-identity operates as a motivational factor in entrepreneurial transitions that interacts with TPB variables in a characteristic way. An entrepreneurial self-identity develops from an early developmental stage on, but also during the working life. Originality/value This study is unique because it integrates the occupational self-concept/self-identity construct into the TPB–entrepreneurship approach, and also delivers new implications concerning how to foster entrepreneurial motivations more effectively by taking the developing occupational self-concept into account.

Developmental leadership and organizational citizenship behavior: Mediating effects of self-determination, supervisor identification, and organizational identification

The authors investigate three levels of self-identity in the workplace—self-determination, supervisor identification, and organizational identification—for their mediating effects on developmental leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors. Data from 469 supervisor–subordinate dyads in two Chinese firms show that supervisor identification is the strongest mediator, self-determination is the second, and organizational leadership is the third. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

청소년의 이주민에 대한 편견: 부모의 영향 및 청소년의 자아정체감과 대처양식에 미치는 영향

As the immigrant population is rapidly growing in South Korea, it is important for the next generation of Korean adolescents to foster unprejudiced attitudes towards immigrants. This paper thus seeks to shed light on adolescent prejudice towards immigrants, by addressing the following three questions: (1) Does a mother`s prejudice towards immigrants and parenting style influence their adolescent children`s prejudice towards immigrants? (2) Does an adolescent`s prejudice towards immigrants influence his/her self-identity? (3) Does an adolescent`s prejudice towards immigrants influence his/her coping styles? The sample consisted of 288 pairs of Korean adolescents and their mothers. According to hierarchical regression analyses, a mother`s prejudice towards immigrants significantly predicted her adolescent`s prejudice towards immigrants, after taking sociodemographic variables into account, whereas her parenting style did not. In addition, having a low level of prejudice towards immigrants among adolescents predicted high levels of self-identity (e.g. independence, proprioceptive, and mission orientation), and a greater use of positive coping skills (e.g. support-seeking and problem-solving). Overall, results showed that mothers played a significant role in shaping their adolescent`s prejudice towards immigrants. Results also provided evidence that prejudice towards immigrants may interfere with the healthy development of self-identity and coping style during adolescence. In conclusion, this study suggests that multicultural education for adolescents can be more effective, when it is provided in partnership with a parent education program that is designed to raise parental multicultural awareness.

Empirical studying of senior schoolboys' ideas about safety of life activity

In the article results of empirical research of senior schoolboys' ideas about safety of life activity are presented; their differentiation on a level of self-identity, character of relations with parents, with contemporaries, on a level of personal anxiety, and also on prevailing orientation of coping-behaviour is given. It is proved, that senior pupils' ideas about safety of life activity are variative enough in their substantial and semantic components, volume, orientations and depend on the priorities of construction of interaction with world around.

Effects of Visual Representation on Social Influence in Computer-Mediated Communication.

Two experiments investigated if and how visual representation of interactants affects depersonalization and conformity to group norms in anonymous computer-mediated communication (CMC). In Experiment 1, a 2 (intergroup versus interpersonal) × 2 (same character versus different character) between-subjects design experiment (N= 60), each participant made a decision about social dilemmas after seeing two other (ostensible) participants’ unanimous opinions and then exchanged supporting arguments. Consistent with the Social Identity model of Deindividuation Effects (SIDE), when the group level of self-identity was rendered salient in an intergroup encounter, uniform virtual appearance of CMC partners triggered depersonalization and subsequent conformity behavior. By contrast, when the personal dimension of the self was salient, standardized representation tended to reduce conformity. To elucidate the mediation process, Experiment 2 investigated the causal links between depersonalization, group identification, and conformity. The results show that depersonalization accentuated adherence to group norms, both directly and indirectly via group identification.

The many selves of social insects.

Social insects show multiple levels of self identity. Most individuals are sterile workers who selflessly labor for their colony, which is often viewed as a superorganism. The superorganism protects itself with colony recognition systems based on learned odors, typically cuticular hydrocarbons. Transfer of these odors within the colony obscures separate clan identities. Residual individual interests do appear to cause conflicts within colonies over sex ratio, male production, caste, and reproductive dominance. However, genomic imprinting theory predicts that the individual's maternal and paternal genes will evolve separate infraorganismal identities, perhaps leaving virtually no coherent individual identity.

The Impact of Subliminal Symbiotic vs Identification Messages in Reducing Anxiety

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of a symbiotic subliminal message (Mommy and I are one), an identification subliminal message (Mommy and I are alike), and a control message in reducing state anxiety. Female subjects (N = 102) with high, low, and medium levels of self-identity cohesion were randomly divided into three experimental conditions. They responded to a state anxiety questionnaire, received anxiety-provoking instructions, and then were exposed to the subliminal messages. Finally, a post-measure of state anxiety was obtained. The ANOVA showed that subjects with high and medium level of self-identity responded with a reduced state of anxiety following both the "symbiotic" and "identification" messages. The low-level, self-identity subjects showed reduced anxiety only following the symbiotic message. The control message had no impact at all. These results are discussed in terms of the hierarchical organization of needs (symbiosis vs identification) and the impact of internal conflicts on the processing of subliminal information.

Toward a Taxonomy of Gendered Sexuality

Current definitions and conceptualizations of sex, gender, and sexuality lack suffcient subtlety to adequately describe the full range of human sexuality. A taxonomy of gendered sexuality is developed which better defines terms relevant to human sexuality and more fully takes into account the interplay over time among sex, gender, and sexual fantasies, desires, practices of persons in intimate relationships at both the level of self-identity and attribution by others. The proposed taxonomy starts with classifications based on the genetic sexes of persons in relationships and combines them with categorizations based on those persons' social genders to arrive at classifications of gendered sexuality. The terminology used is drawn from everyday language. Examples are provided to illustrate the application of the taxonomy. The proposed taxonomy may be used for descriptive, diagnostic, or theoretical purposes.

Identification of Levels of Self-Identity

Beginning with an open-ended technique in which subjects suggested attributes of self-identity, a forced-choice instrument for measuring the centrality of self-attributes was developed. 143 undergraduates enrolled in psychology courses at a large church-related university were examined. Mean ranks were used to represent the centrality of self-identity attributes. Those mean ranks were analyzed using analysis of variance and factor analysis. Religious and Familial Identifications were most central to self-identity. Self-evaluations were next most central, and Public Labels were least central. While the specific findings were limited somewhat to the group studied, the viability of a centrality model of self-identity was demonstrated.
