CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS ON STATISTICAL LITERACY AND GENDER: EMBEDDING E-CAMPUS PLATFORM WITH RANDOM ASSIGNMENT OF MATCHED SUBJECT IN EXPLANATORY ANALYSIS

This study aims to evaluate the embedding of e-campus platforms during the pandemic in dealing with gender disparities in statistical literacy and shed light on the association structure between statistical literacy and gender disparities. A mixed methods approach with sequential explanatory analysis was performed among 42 pairs (man-woman) sample of sophomore students enrolled in the Inferential Statistics course selected from a random assignment of matched subjects. The two main instruments, the placement test, and the statistical literacy test, were analyzed quantitatively using the Mann-Whitney test and correspondence analysis, followed by qualitative analysis using image and text analysis. The findings reveal that the e-campus platform has increased women's statistical literacy. Specifically, there is a statistically significant difference (1) between men's and women's statistical literacy scores, (2) an association between statistical literacy level and gender, and (3) different tendencies between men's and women's statistical literacy in various ways. The e-campus platform is an excellent solution for the teaching and learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Likewise, it can overcome gender disparities in literacy statistics. Since these findings lead to a higher statistical literacy rate for women than men, this could break the stereotype that women are less statistically literate than men.

The Influence of the Webbed-type Integrated Model on Students' Critical Thinking Ability in Social Sciences Material in the Field of Sociology Studies in SHS

The purpose of this research is to find out how the Webbed integrated learning paradigm influences the critical thinking abilities of Senior High School (SHS) students. This research was conducted using a one-group Pre-test-Post-test design in a pre-experimental setting. The research subjects were ten men and nine women who were class X students at SHS 12 Padang. The instruments used are test sheets and observation sheets. The critical thinking ability test consists of two stages, namely Pre-test and Post-test. Based on research, students' critical thinking skills obtained an average score of 87 on the Post-test and 71 on the Pre-test. A sig value of 0.251 < α (0.05) was obtained using the Paired Sample T-test at α (0.05) in data analysis SPSS 22 for Windows. Research findings show that the Pre-test and Post-test are significantly different. Apart from that, a medium category N-Gain value was obtained of 0.543. This shows that the use of the Webbed integrated learning model has an impact on student's critical thinking abilities both before and after treatment. Then in several aspects of critical thinking, such as argument evaluation and information analysis, women tend to show higher levels than men, with the average score for women's argument evaluation being 78% while men's is 72%. However, in other aspects such as information synthesis and making conclusions, men tend to stand out, with men's average information synthesis score being 80% while women's is 76%.

Plant-Based Diets and Disease Progression in Men With Prostate Cancer.

Plant-based diets are associated with many health and environmental benefits, including primary prevention of fatal prostate cancer, but less is known about postdiagnostic plant-based diet patterns in individuals with prostate cancer. To examine whether postdiagnostic plant-based dietary patterns are associated with risk of prostate cancer progression and prostate cancer-specific mortality. This longitudinal observational cohort study included men with biopsy-proven nonmetastatic prostate cancer (stage ≤T3a) from the diet and lifestyle substudy within the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) enrolled at 43 urology practices across the US from 1999 to 2018. Participants completed a comprehensive diet and lifestyle questionnaire (including a validated food frequency questionnaire [FFQ]) between 2004 and 2016. Data were analyzed from August 2022 to April 2023. Overall plant-based diet index (PDI) and healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI) scores were calculated from the FFQ. The primary outcome was prostate cancer progression (recurrence, secondary treatment, bone metastases, or prostate cancer-specific mortality). The secondary outcome was prostate cancer-specific mortality. Among 2062 participants (median [IQR] age, 65.0 [59.0-70.0] years), 61 (3%) identified as African American, 3 (<1%) identified as American Indian or Alaska Native, 9 (<1%) identified as Asian or Pacific Islander, 15 (1%) identified as Latino, and 1959 (95%) identified as White. Median (IQR) time from prostate cancer diagnosis to FFQ was 31.3 (15.9-62.0) months after diagnosis. During a median (IQR) follow-up of 6.5 (1.3-12.8) years after the FFQ, 190 progression events and 61 prostate cancer-specific mortality events were observed. Men scoring in the highest vs lowest quintile of PDI had a 47% lower risk of progression (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.37-0.74; P for trend = .003). The hPDI was not associated with risk of progression overall. However, among 680 individuals with Gleason grade 7 or higher at diagnosis, the highest hPDI quintile was associated with a 55% lower risk of progression compared with the lowest hPDI quintile (HR 0.45; 95% CI, 0.25-0.81; P for trend = .01); no association was observed in individuals with Gleason grade less than 7. In this cohort study of 2062 men with prostate cancer, higher intake of plant foods after prostate cancer diagnosis was associated with lower risk of cancer progression. These findings suggest nutritional assessment and counseling may be recommended to patients with prostate cancer to help establish healthy dietary practices and support well-being and overall health.

Index of healthy eating and emotional eating in relation to psychological inflexibility in dance students

Dance places significant physical and cognitive demands on both students and professionals. These demands increase dancers’ susceptibility to a variety of problems. Between them, the prevalence of eating disorders in dancers of various dance genres is significant. In this context, emotional eating is a common problem among people struggling with weight issues. On the other hand, a construct that has been shown to be relevant is Psychological inflexibility. Psychological flexibility refers to the possibility of fully embracing unpleasant private events in the present, without attempting to modify them. The aim of this paper is to determine the different components of emotional eating and the healthy eating index as a function of psychological inflexibility in dance students. This was a cross-sectional study using non-probabilistic sampling. One hundred fourteen dance students enrolled in conservatories or dance schools participated in the study. Evaluations were conducted using the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, the Healthy Eating Index for the Spanish population, and the Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress Questionnaire. Data were collected in person and online format. No differences in psychological inflexibility were observed between men and women. While women showed greater utilization of food to regulate emotions, they did not differ from men in scores on the healthy eating index. Students with high psychological inflexibility reported greater utilization of food as a regulator of emotions. No differences were found in healthy eating according to psychological inflexibility. It is recommended to transform dance conservatories into healthy spaces by promoting habits that facilitate students’ well-being. Faculties can help in the pursuit of excellence by aligning performance goals with research findings and improving holistic care.

The Relationship between Psychological Well Being and Quarter Life Crisis

Early adulthood is a phase where individuals will experience various demands and challenges from the environment. An individual's inability to overcome demands and challenges gives rise to feelings of anxiety, confusion, anxiety and an emotional crisis or quarter life crisis. The onset of a quarter life crisis is influenced by the individual's level of psychological well-being. This research aims to determine the relationship between psychological well being and quarter life crisis. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling with the incidental sampling method. The sample in this study consisted of 450 people aged 20-29 years. Data collection was carried out using two research instruments, namely the psychological well being scale and the quarter life crisis scale. Hypothesis testing using product moment correlation analysis. The research results show that there is a significant negative relationship between psychological well being and quarter life crisis, r = -0.764 (p = 0.000). This means that the higher the psychological well-being, the lower the quarter life crisis, and vice versa. The research results also show that women have a higher quarter life crisis compared to men. Meanwhile, men's scores on psychological well-being are higher than women's. The conclusion is that early adult individuals can optimize their psychological conditions so they are able to face the quarter life crisis phase well.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE SPORTS SECTOR: A PROFILE ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYEES

The aim of the study was to investigate the emotional intelligence levels of people working in sports organizations regarding different variables, such as gender, marital status and sports activities. A total of 272 (159 male, 113 female) participants working in sports organizations participated in the study voluntarily. The Emotional Intelligence Trait-Short Form (EQ-SF) scale was used as a data collection tool. SPSS 23 program was used for data analysis. The suitability of the data to normal distribution was examined with kurtosis and skewness values. The t test was used for comparisons between independent groups. The significance level was determined as p&amp;lt;.05. According to the data obtained, men's self-control, sociability sub-dimensions and total emotional intelligence scores were found to be significantly higher than women. Similarly, self-control, sociability sub-dimensions and total emotional intelligence scores of individuals who do sports were found to be significantly higher. However, in the comparison made according to marital status, no significant difference was found between emotional intelligence levels. As a result, it can be said that men working in sports organizations have higher levels of self-control, sociability and total emotional intelligence than women, and individuals who do sports have higher levels of self-control, sociability and total emotional intelligence than those who do not do sports.

Investigation of differences in xenophobia, prosociality level, and sociodemographic characteristics in nursing students.

This study aimed to examine differences in xenophobia, prosocial behavior tendency, and sociodemographic characteristics among nursing students. The participants were 227 nursing students (29.1% male, 70.9% female) attending the nursing department in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. We used a personal identification form, xenophobia scale, and prosocial behavior tendency scale to collect the data. Among the participants, 24.7% were in first year, 30.4% were in second year, 21.6% were in third year, and 23.3% were in fourth year. Female students had higher prosocial behavior disposition, altruistic, and submissive scores than their male counterparts. The second-year students' prosocial behavior scores were higher than those of the third-year students. The male students' hatred, humiliation, and xenophobia scores were higher than those of the female students. The xenophobia scores were higher in those with two living parents and lower in those whose mothers had secondary education. We used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro-Wilk test, and graphical assessments to test the quantitative data's compliance with normal distribution. We also employed the Student's t-test and one-way analysis of variance for data showing a normal distribution and Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests for data showing non-normal distribution. To evaluate the relationships among variables, we used the Pearson correlation analysis for normally distributed variables and Spearman's correlation analysis for non-normally distributed variables. Women's prosocial behavior tendency total score was higher than men's, and men's xenophobia total score was higher than women's. There was a weak negative correlation between the positive behavior tendency and xenophobia total scores.

The Effect of Family Planning Education on Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Toward Family Planning Methods Among Married Couples in Kersa and Goma Districts of Jimma Zone, South West Ethiopia.

Individuals with accurate knowledge that goes beyond knowing a few contraceptive methods, such as knowledge of fertility, benefits, and contraceptive side effects, are more likely to use and less likely to discontinue using family planning. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of family planning education on knowledge, attitude, and practice towards family planning among married couples in Jimma Zone, Ethiopia. A quasi-experimental study was done on 766 married couples sampled using a random sampling technique and analyzed using SPSS 23.0. The significance of differences in mean knowledge and attitude between control and experimental couples was measured using the non-parametric 2-independent sample analysis (P < 0.05). The comparison of knowledge score means and significance of their differences between control and experimental women was found to be significant at the posttest (P = 0.001; r = 0.045). Similarly, the experimental men's knowledge score means and their difference was significant at posttest (P = 0.001, r = 0.26). With respect to a comparison of mean score of attitude and the significance of their difference between control and experimental women at posttest was significant with (P < 0.001; r = 0.13). Similarly, the comparison of the male partners in the control and experimental groups was significant at posttest (P = 0.001; r = 0.12). At the posttest, the proportion of experimental couples using each contraceptive method relatively increased, with a shift to relatively effective ones. Two hundred and ninety five (77.6%) of the control and 318 (83.5%) of the experimental men reported supporting their wives in the use of contraceptives, showing more improvement among the experimental men than the control group. Along with routine counseling, a well-structured behavioral model-based family planning education is required for effective and continuous use of contraceptives.

Yours, mine, or ours? Dyadic sleep hygiene and associations with sleep quality, emotional distress, and conflict frequency in mixed-gender, bed-sharing couples.

Although prior research demonstrates the interdependence of sleep quality within couples (i.e., the sleep of one partner affects the sleep of the other), little is known about the degree to which couples' sleep hygiene behaviours are concordant or discordant, and if one's own sleep hygiene or their report of their partners' sleep hygiene is related to worse relational, psychological, and sleep outcomes. In a sample of 143 mixed-gender, bed-sharing couples, each partner completed an online questionnaire consisting of the Sleep Hygiene Index (for themselves and their partner), PROMIS sleep disturbance scale, conflict frequency, PHQ-4 for anxiety and depressive symptoms, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Paired samples t-tests between partners were conducted using total and individual-item Sleep Hygiene Index scores to examine similarities and differences. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) scores of dyadic reports were conducted to examine the level of agreement between each partner's sleep hygiene. Finally, we examined associations between one's own sleep hygiene and their report of their partner's sleep hygiene with both partner's sleep quality, emotional distress, and conflict frequency in a dyadic structural equation model with important covariates and alternative model tests. The results revealed a significant difference between men's (M = 14.45, SD = 7.41) and women's total score self-report sleep hygiene ([M = 17.67, SD = 8.27]; t(142) = -5.06, p < 0.001) and partners only had similar sleep hygiene for 5 out of the 13 items. Examining dyadic reports of sleep hygiene revealed that partners had moderate agreement on their partners' sleep hygiene (0.69-0.856). The results from the dyadic structural equation model revealed that poorer sleep hygiene was associated with one's own poor sleep quality, higher emotional distress, and more frequent relational conflict. For both men and women a poorer report of a partner's sleep hygiene was associated with one's own report of higher relationship conflict. Finally, men's poorer report of a partner's sleep hygiene was related better to their own sleep quality but was related to poorer sleep quality for their partners. These results have implications for sleep promotion and intervention efforts as well as for couple relationship functioning.

Can a gender-sensitive integrated poultry value chain and nutrition intervention increase women's empowerment among the rural poor in Burkina Faso?

Understanding the types of food systems interventions that foster women's empowerment and the types of women that are able to benefit from different interventions is important for development policy. SELEVER was a gender- and nutrition-sensitive poultry production intervention implemented in western Burkina Faso from 2017 to 2020 that aimed to empower women. We evaluated SELEVER using a mixed-methods cluster-randomized controlled trial, which included survey data from 1763 households at baseline and endline and a sub-sample for two interim lean season surveys. We used the multidimensional project-level Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI), which consists of 12 binary indicators, underlying count versions of 10 of these, an aggregate empowerment score (continuous) and a binary aggregate empowerment indicator, all for women and men. Women's and men's scores were compared to assess gender parity. We also assessed impacts on health and nutrition agency using the pro-WEAI health and nutrition module. We estimated program impact using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models and examined whether there were differential impacts by flock size or among those who participated in program activities (treatment on the treated). Program impacts on empowerment and gender parity were null, despite the program's multipronged and gender-sensitive approach. Meanwhile, results of the in-depth gender-focused qualitative work conducted near the project mid-point found there was greater awareness in the community of women's time burden and their economic contributions, but it did not seem that awareness led to increased empowerment of women. We reflect on possible explanations for the null findings. One notable explanation may be the lack of a productive asset transfer, which have previously been shown to be essential, but not sufficient, for the empowerment of women in agricultural development programs. We consider these findings in light of current debates on asset transfers. Unfortunately, null impacts on women's empowerment are not uncommon, and it is important to learn from such findings to strengthen future program design and delivery.

PS-P11-1: ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND AWARENESS OF URBAN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS FOR METABOLIC SYNDROME

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the awareness, knowledge, and attitude of hypertensive patients for metabolic syndrome and its relation to demographic data in those attending the out-patient services. Design and Methods: 400 known hypertensive patients between the age 18–60 years were recruited. Data was collected using a 2-parts closed ended questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale. Data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics (student's t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient). Results: A significant relationship was established between knowledge score and age of the participants (p = 0.002), but not between age and awareness and attitude (p &gt; ; 0.05). A significant relation was observed between the duration of metabolic syndrome and knowledge score (p &lt; 0.05). There is a significant relationship between knowledge score and educational level (p &lt; 0.05). There is a significant difference between men's and women's awareness scores (p &lt; 0.005), but this difference is not seen in other aspects (knowledge, attitude) (p &gt; ; 0.05). Women's awareness score was more than men's (p = 0.0007). Data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between awareness and knowledge (P = 0.003), and awareness and attitude (P = 0.0001). Conclusions: The participants’ blood pressure was not controlled in spite of good awareness and attitude. The knowledge score was low and community-based programs to improve knowledge should be initiated. Programs like May Measurement Month, regular BP screenings, and awareness around medication compliance should be encouraged in the community.

THE EFFECT OF DEPRESSION LEVELS ON QUALITY OF LIFE OF INTENSIVE CARE STAFF DURING THE COVID-19 PROCESS

This study was conducted to examine the effect of depressive symptoms on quality of life of healthcare staff working in intensive care units during the COVID-19 process. This study was designed as descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational. It was carried out with the participation of 133 healthcare professionals between November and December 2020. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews with the participants in average of 10-15 minutes. Personal Information Form, Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), and Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL R-IV) were used for data collection. Kurtosis, Skewness and Shapiro-Wilk, Student's t, ANOVA tests were used for data analysis. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed. Depressive symptoms and low quality of life were detected in healthcare workers working in the Covid-19 pandemic. It was seen that women's ProQOL R-IV total scores were higher than men's and BDI total score averages of associate degree health workers were significantly higher than those of health workers with undergraduate or graduate degrees. It was determined that 39.1% of the participants were considering resigning during the pandemic process. It has been determined that those who do their job reluctantly have higher BDI total scores than those who do it fondly. In addition, it was determined that those who do their job fondly have higher ProQOL R-IV total scores than those who do it reluctantly. It was observed that the total BDI scores of the participants whose family members were diagnosed with COVID-19 were higher than those who did not and those who thought about resigning during the pandemic process were higher than those who did not. As a result, it is thought that the effective and high quality of health services is directly related to the physical and mental well-being of health workers throughout the pandemic process. It is thought that it is extremely important to identify mental disorders that may occur in healthcare workers due to the difficulties brought by the pandemic process at an early stage and to stop their progression.

Age Differences in Heritability of a Latent Dementia Index Score in Men and Women

AbstractBackgroundHeritability estimates of dementia are ∼50‐60% of the total variance across older adulthood. Earlier age of onset, however, might be associated with greater genetic influence whereas older age of onset might be associated with greater environmental influences. The categorical nature of dementia diagnosis outcomes has made testing the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on dementia difficult due to low statistical power. To overcome this methodological limitation, we tested linear and quadratic effects of age on genetic and environmental variance underlying a continuous measure of dementia likelihood in men and women.MethodThe analytic sample was 5,670 (53% female) pairs of twins from 10 studies in the Interplay of Genes and Environment Across Multiple Studies (IGEMS) consortium. Dementia likelihood is quantified continuously using a latent dementia index measure that is estimated from twins’ available cognitive, memory‐specific, and functional ability measures. Linear and quadratic age differences in genetic and environmental influences on dementia likelihood were tested by modeling univariate correlation between twins’ dementia scores as a linear function of zygosity and age in Mplus. Separate models were estimated for male and female twin groups.ResultsAge moderated genetic and environmental influences on dementia likelihood scores. Both genetic and nonshared environmental variance increased as a function of age, whereas common environmental variance declined. Sex significantly moderated the effect of zygosity on the twin correlations (monozygotic male: .57, monozygotic female: .51, dizygotic male: .19, dizygotic female: .25). Notably, MZ twin correlations were consistent with previously reported heritability estimates for dementia. The pattern of age moderation was the same in men as women, although the linear effect of age on both genetic and common environmental influences was greater in men than women (see Figure 1).ConclusionAge linearly moderated genetic and environmental variance underlying dementia likelihood similarly for both men and women, despite quantitative genetic and environmental sex differences in dementia likelihood. Genetic variance accounted for similar proportions of total variance at younger ages, whereas genetic variance accounted for greater variance in men than in women at older ages.

Relationships between Plasma Concentrations of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone and Geriatric Depression Scale Scores in Men and Women Aged 60-65 Years-A Multivariate Approach with the Use of Quade's Test.

The potential role of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the pathogenesis of depression in older subjects is poorly recognized and understood. The current study examines the symptoms of depression in males and females at the age of 60–65 using a short version (15 questions) of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) questionnaire. Blood plasma levels of androgens were estimated by LC/MS/MS. Total GDS score calculated for males were not found to be significantly associated with plasma levels of testosterone or dihydrotestosterone. Older men with higher plasma testosteronemia were more likely to report being in good spirits most of the time, but more willing to stay at home than undertake outside activities. The men with higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone also perceived themselves as being in good spirits most of the time. Older men with higher testosterone were more likely to report having more problems with their memory than others. No significant associations were found between plasma levels of androgens and GDS scores in older women; however, some tendencies suggest that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone may act as antidepressants in older women.

Analysis of Difference between Fencing Sabre&amp;apos;s Score and Loss : Focusing on National Athletes Participated in the Tokyo Olympics 2020

PURPOSE This study aimed to analyze the difference between scores and loss of world-class fencing sabre players. METHODS A total of 78 match videos and 1969 points of international competition over 3 years were analyzed for the nine major competitors of the national fencing team (Males = 5, Females = 4). The characteristics of each skill, body section and location according to the score were analyzed by dividing them into male and female groups. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 25.0. RESULTS First, in the situation analysis according to the men's sabre score, attack skills were the most common in the winning situation (447 points, 73%) and in the situation of losing points (389 points, 72%); however, the difference was not significant. In the analysis of the piste location according to the score, B4 was the most common appearing 254 times (41.5%) in the scoring situation and A4, 243 (45%) times in the losing situation, with a significant difference (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001). Second, in the situation analysis according to the women’s sabre score, 315 attacks (70.6%) were found in the winning situation and 277 (74.7%) in the losing situation; however, the difference was not significant. In the analysis of the scoring body part, the Sixte area scored the highest with 121 points (27.1%), and the arm area lost the most points with 105 points (28.3%); however, the difference was not significant. In the analysis of the piste location according to the score, A4 was the most common in, appearing 179 times (40.1%) in the scoring situation, and 182 times (48.8%) in the losing situation, with no significant difference at the &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; 0.001 level. CONCLUSIONS In the men's game, there were many scored points in B4 and many lost points in A4. In the women's game, there were many scored points and lost points in A4; therefore, the difference in goals and losses according to the piste position was confirmed. These results suggest that it is possible to infer the game management patterns of world sabre players and the flow of world fencing.

Individual and situational influences on the propensity for unethical behavior in responses to organizational scenarios

This article reports two studies evaluating the impact of moral intensity, work experience, and gender on the propensity (attitude, behavioral intention, and subjective norm) for unethical behavior of Venezuelan students and employees responding to different organizational scenarios, and controlling the effects of moral disengagement and empathy. One study singled out moral disengagement as a covariate, and the other did the same with empathy. In both studies, moral intensity, work experience, and gender acted as independent variables. Each study consisted of around 400 participants (totaling 801 participants in both studies): one-half were students without work experience and the other half were employees. For manipulating moral intensity, we used six scenarios describing ethically questionable situations. After reading each of the scenarios, participants answered the Multidimensional Ethics Scale to measure propensity for unethical behavior. After completing this phase, participants responded to the moral disengagement scale in Study 1 and the empathy scale in Study 2. This research did not find concluding, significant effects of moral intensity on the measures of the propensity for unethical behavior. Employees expressed higher intentions of acting unethically than students, though the effect was small (ε2 Study 1 = .016. ε2 Study 2 = .026). Gender had no significant effect on attitude and subjective norm; but, in behavioral intention, men's scores were significantly higher than women's in Study 1, but not in Study 2. Moral disengagement had a stronger effect than empathy on the propensity for unethical behavior (ε2 moral disengagement: attitude = .225, behavioral intention = .179, subjective norm = .159. ε2 empathy: attitude = .016, behavioral intention = .011, subjective norm = .010). The authors highlight the relevance of contrasting findings from less-developed countries with those from developed countries, commonly found in the literature, and suggest avenues for further research.

Abstract PO-070: Psychometric properties and analysis of the masculinity barriers to medical care scale among African American, Indigenous, and White men

Abstract Background: The Masculinity Barriers to Medical Care (MBMC) scale was developed to assess masculinity barriers to medical care relative to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake among non-Hispanic (NH) African-American/Black men. Objective: This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the MBMC Scale while applying it to different racial groups. Methods: Participants self-identifying as non-Hispanic (NH) Black, American Indian/Alaska Native (Indigenous), or NH White completed the web-based Masculinity Barriers to Medical Care, Psychosocial Factors, and CRC Screening Uptake &amp; Intention Survey. We conducted exploratory factor analysis on a sample of 254 men and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) on a separate sample of 637 men nationally representative by age and state of residence. Results: After assessment of psychometric properties, the MBMC scale was reduced from 24 to 18 items and from six to four subscales. Black men's mean scores were lowest on three of four subscales (Being Strong, Negative and Positive Attitudes) and highest on the Acknowledging Emotions subscale. Compared with both Indigenous and White men, Black men had significantly lower Negative Attitudes subscale scores and significantly higher scores on the Acknowledging Emotions subscale. Compared with both Indigenous and Black men, White men had significantly higher Being Strong and Positive Attitudes subscales scores. Conclusions: This study expands on previous research indicating that, among racialized populations of men, endorsement of traditional masculine ideologies influences engagement in preventive health behaviors. Our scale can be tailored to assess attitudes to screening for other cancers and diseases that disproportionately burden medically underserved populations.

The Older, the More Forgiving? Characteristics of Forgiveness of Chinese Older Adults.

This study explores the characteristics of forgiveness in the aging cohorts, which is regarded to be associated with healthy outcomes. Data were drawn from a sample of 308 older adults (aged from 60 to 98 years) who completed the forgiveness questionnaire: forgiving others of The Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS) to examine explicit forgiveness, and among the participants, 44 older adults were administrated on the variant single category of implicit association test (SC-IAT) to examine the implicit forgiveness. The results revealed that (1) there is no correlation between explicit forgiveness and implicit forgiveness of older adults. (2) The result of explicit forgiveness is relatively high while that of implicit forgiveness is relatively low. (3) There was no significant correlation between explicit forgiveness and age, but there was significant difference between age groups, as forgiveness tendency of the elderly had a trough in the age group of 70–79 and then rebounded. (4) Implicit forgiveness was significantly correlated with age, and the difference between age groups was marginal. The forgiveness tendency of the elderly over 80 years old was significantly higher than that of the other two age groups. (5) Gender differences are found in both explicit and implicit forgiveness. The findings indicated that (1) explicit and implicit measures in this study have assessed independent and complementary aspects of forgiveness tendency in older adults. (2) Implicit forgiveness falls behind explicit forgiveness, and true internal forgiveness is difficult and rare in older adults according to data analysis. (3) The trend of explicit forgiveness with age is not obvious, because explicit forgiveness in the middle old age group presents an inflection point. However, implicit forgiveness increases slowly with age. (4) Women excel men in scores obtained with both explicit and implicit measures for forgiveness.

Comparison of psychological well-being and life satisfaction between extended and nuclear family systems among students

Background: The family system affects the mental health and well-being of an individual and significantly alters the satisfaction level.
