This study employs photovoice research methodology to investigate adolescents’ experiences in sibling relationships and to analyze the impact of sibling interactions on their development and growth. The participants comprised eight high school students with one sibling (four males and four females) residing in the Incheon region. The research process encompassed several stages: participant recruitment, orientation, photovoice activity (focus group interviews), data analysis, and conclusion derivation. During the photovoice activity, participants engaged in a narrative process of photographing, interpreting, and discussing their experiences. The narratives were categorized into four primary themes: structure and environment, emotional interactions, roles, and parental subsystems. The conclusions drawn from the study are as follows: First, the similarity formed in sibling relationships during adolescence contributes to psychological stability. Second, roles and expectations based on birth order can cause stress for adolescents, indicating the need for equitable role adjustments within the family. Third, conflict in sibling relationships is crucial for enhancing problem-solving and social relationship skills. Lastly, consistent parenting attitudes significantly affect the emotional well-being of siblings. This study emphasizes the significance of fostering a deeper understanding of human development and family relationships through an exploration of adolescent sibling dynamics within home economics education.

An exploration of psychological safety and conflict in first‐year engineering student teams

AbstractBackgroundDeveloping teamwork skills is a central objective of engineering education. Psychological safety and conflict management are pivotal components of teamwork, yet despite their significance, research in engineering project‐based learning (PBL) contexts is scant. Understanding students' experiences with psychological safety and its interaction with conflict is crucial to inform PBL pedagogy.PurposeThis study delves into first‐year engineering students' experiences of psychological safety and conflict, including their evolution in a PBL course.MethodsThroughout the semester, we collected data from 82 students via written reflections and focus groups. Employing a thematic analysis underpinned by the team conflict dynamics model, we characterized students' experiences with psychological safety and conflict.FindingsAt the semester's outset, psychological safety was notably lacking. Students often hesitated to share ideas due to apprehensions about peer reactions and fears of negative judgments. As the semester advanced, consistent positive affirmations nurtured psychological safety, increasing students' confidence and readiness to discuss ideas openly and engage in healthy task conflict. Notably, process conflicts arising from absenteeism, poor communication, and procrastination were prevalent across teams. When unresolved, these conflicts eroded psychological safety, intensifying stress, exacerbating frustrations, and provoking relationship conflict.ConclusionsOur study underscores the intertwined nature of psychological safety and conflict in shaping the first‐year design experience in student teams. We urge faculty to recognize their pivotal role in fostering an inclusive culture and highlight pedagogical strategies that can bolster psychological safety at the onset, encourage healthy task conflict, and monitor unhealthy process and relationship conflicts.

Research on the Balance Mechanism of Rights Conflict in the Cross-border Flow of Personal Financial Data

The cross-border flow of personal financial data is inevitable due to the needs of cross-border business or overseas supervision such as anti-money laundering. The conflict between national financial security and financial efficiency results in a series of unbalanced situations under cross-border financial data. The state takes measures to regulate in order to balance different demands, promote economic development, and seek economic globalization. In an unbalanced state, the lack of systematic rights protection will lead to a lack of confidence in the degree of protection of personal financial data subjects, which may hinder the construction of global economic integration. This paper first analyzes the causes of imbalance from the perspective of value orientation and makes suggestions for institutional improvement. Secondly, from the perspective of the contradictions between the subjects of personal financial data rights and processors, as well as the contradictions between regulators, it studies the feasibility methods to check and balance and resolve the conflicts, so as to achieve the goal of clarifying the basic value and coordinating the conflict relationship. It should also focus on the development of national independent artificial intelligence, science and technology to help development cooperation, and the goal of international economic integration.

The Impact of Task Conflict and Relationship Conflict on Decision Quality

The Impact of Task Conflict and Relationship Conflict on Decision Quality

Minority stress and romantic relationship functioning among young sexual minority women.

Growing research suggests that minority stress adversely affects relationship functioning among same-gender couples. However, studies have predominantly focused on concurrent, between-persons associations and neglected the relationships sexual minority people have with partners of other genders. We used multiwave longitudinal data from 200 young sexual minority women in relationships with cisgender men, cisgender women, and transgender or nonbinary individuals to assess between- and within-person associations between minority stress and relationship functioning and to test for differences in these associations by partner gender. Participants reported on minority stressors (couple marginalization; microaggressions; internalized heterosexism) and relationship functioning (quality; destructive conflict) from the same partnership at 3-7 assessments (M = 4.44), collected at 6-month intervals. Multilevel models assessing each minority stressor separately revealed between-person associations of each stressor with worse relationship quality and conflict; however, only couple marginalization showed within-person associations with relationship functioning. In multilevel models including all three minority stressors, couple marginalization showed unique within- and between-persons associations with worse relationship functioning; microaggressions were only uniquely associated with couple conflict at the between-persons level. Moderation analyses revealed a negative between-persons association of microaggressions with relationship quality only for participants with cisgender male partners, and a positive within-person association of microaggressions with relationship quality only for those with cisgender female partners. Several associations were weaker for participants with transgender or nonbinary compared to cisgender partners. Findings highlight the importance of couple-level minority stress and partner gender in understanding how sexual minority stress affects relationship functioning.

Dyadic relationships between informal caregivers and older adults with chronic heart failure: A systematic review and meta-synthesis.

To synthesise the qualitative evidence on dyadic relationships between informal caregivers (ICs) and older adults with chronic heart failure (HF). A systematic review and meta-synthesis were conducted. Eight databases were searched for English peer-reviewed studies and grey literature published from inception to 27 February 2024. Qualitative and mixed-method studies involving older adults ≥ 55 years old with chronic HF and discussing patient-caregiver relationships in community settings were included. Data were synthesised using Sandelowski and Barroso's 2-step framework. A meta-summary was developed using thematic analysis, and findings were synthesised using the Theory of Dyadic Illness Management. Twenty-four studies from 2008 to 2024 were included (n = 580 participants). The meta-summary consisted of four themes and nine subthemes: (1) Characteristics of dyad relationships, (2) How both parts of the dyad care for each other, (3) Chronic HF and dyad relationships, (4) Knowledge of managing chronic HF. These were reorganised into the meta-synthesis: dyadic appraisal, dyadic management behaviours, dyadic health, contextual factors affecting dyadic relationships and management behaviours, and illness management as a dyadic phenomenon. Investigating relationship dynamics and their impact on dyads and chronic HF self-care is vital. Where possible, healthcare providers should prioritise dyadic care when caregivers are involved and deliver individualised care to improve patient and caregiver outcomes. Assessing and optimising dyadic relations, addressing individual perceptions and needs as part of clinical care, and before implementing self-care interventions in research may help ensure that self-care is appropriately tailored and would not be hindered by relationship conflicts.

Emotional Invalidation and Relationship Quality: A Mediational Model Through a Social Learning Lens.

While we know childhood experiences are influential on a child's later socioemotional awareness and behavior, we are still searching for specific mechanisms that influence the transferability of childhood experiences and adult relationship functioning. In this study, we seek to further this area of investigation by examining the interpretation of ambiguous social interactions and perceptions of emotional invalidation as potential mediators of the relationship between perceptions of childhood emotional invalidation and current relationship quality. Participants completed online measures of hostile intent attributions, perceptions of childhood emotional invalidation, and current relationship quality with a significant other. They read emotionally provocative interpersonal scenarios and then reported likely emotionally invalidating reactions from their significant other to measure current perceptions of emotional invalidation. Results supported our hypotheses that perceptions of current emotional invalidation in a close, personal relationship would mediate the relationship between perceptions of childhood maternal emotional invalidation and both current relationship support and relationship conflict. Furthermore, the strength of this mediational pathway outweighed the influence of a more general hostile attribution bias. These findings have implications for prevention and intervention strategies designed to enhance interpersonal functioning.

The effects of gender diversity and cognitive diversity on team performance in Japanese R&D teams including the effect of shared leadership as a moderator

ABSTRACT This study examined the influence of gender diversity and cognitive diversity on R&D team performance in Japan. The potential effects of both information elaboration and relational conflict were studied as possible mediating influences on the diversity-performance relationship. In addition, the possible moderating influences on the relationship between both diversities and both mediators were examined. It was found that both types of diversity had positive impacts as well as negative impacts on R&D team performance through information elaboration and relational conflict. Both types had positive impacts on information elaboration and relational conflict; information elaboration had a positive impact on R&D team performance while relational conflict had a negative impact on it. Furthermore, shared leadership promoted the relationship between both types of diversity and information elaboration; however, it hindered the relationship between both types of diversity and relational conflict. The results were deliberated within the broader context of Japan’s unique work culture.

Effects of the incredible years parenting program on children's interpersonal conflict: An integrative data analysis.

Behavioral parenting programs, such as Incredible Years (IY), reduce conduct problems in children. However, conduct problems encompass many different behaviors, and little is known about the effects of parenting programs on specific aspects of children's conduct problems, such as children's relationships with others. The aim of this study was to examine, for the first time, the effects of the IY parenting program on children's levels of conflict with their parents, siblings, and peers. We used individual participant-level data pooled across 12 randomized trials in Europe, comprising a total of 1,409 families: child aged 1-11 years (M = 5.53 years, SD = 1.56) and 61% male, 60% low-income families, and 30% from an ethnic minority. Multilevel models were used to explore the effects of IY on children's conflict with parents, siblings, and peers. The IY program reduced children's conflict with their parents (β = -.21), but there were no main effects of the program on conflict with siblings or peers. Moderation analyses showed that IY reduced conflict in sibling relationships for the 22% of families with the most severe sibling conflict at baseline. This suggests that high-quality behavioral parenting programs, such as IY, can effectively reduce children's conflict within the home (i.e., with parents and siblings), especially when initial levels of sibling conflict are high, but do not have broader benefits on children's interpersonal conflict outside of the home (i.e., with peers).

Literary Criticism of Cross-Class Marriage in the Novel Heart of the Night Dialectical Perspective of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

This study aims to analyze cross-class marriage in the novel "Heart of the Night" by Naguib Mahfouz using Hegel's dialectical perspective. The research method used is a qualitative analysis of the content of the novel and the application of Hegel's dialectical theory to understand the conflict and synthesis in the marriage relationship between the main characters, Jafar Sayyed Ar-rawi, and Marwana.The purpose of this research is to explore the complexity of interclass marriage in the novel and identify the social, cultural, and economic conflicts that arise as a result of this relationship. In addition, this study aims to understand how Hegel's dialectical perspective can help in interpreting the dynamics of cross-class marriage in the context of a broader society. The results of the study show that the novel "Heart of the Night" depicts cross-class marriage as a reflection of social imbalances and disparities in society. The conflict between tradition and modernity, as well as economic and social inequalities, became obstacles to the marriage relationship of the main characters. However, Jafar Sayyed Ar-rawi showed perseverance and enthusiasm in maintaining his belief in bringing social justice to his people. Using Hegel's dialectical perspective, this study finds that the conflicts that arise from this cross-class marriage are forms of thesis and antithesis that contradict each other. However, through this struggle and conflict resolution, a synthesis was created that included understanding and unity between these figures. This synthesis reflects the importance of respecting social and cultural differences in a marriage as well as the possibility of searching for deeper meaning in life in the midst of a life full of challenges. This research illustrates that the novel "Heart of the Night" not only focuses on interclass marriage, but also highlights fortitude and enthusiasm in facing life's difficulties as well as the importance of conflict resolution and social understanding in society. With Hegel's dialectical approach, this study provides in-depth insights into the dynamics of social relations and marriage in the context of class differences in society.

Identifying the risk of depression in a large sample of adolescents: An artificial neural network based on random forest.

This study aims to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model incorporating random forest (RF) screening ability for predicting the risk of depression in adolescents and identifies key risk factors to provide a new approach for primary care screening of depression among adolescents. The data were from a large cross-sectional study conducted in China from July to September 2021, enrolling 8635 adolescents aged 10-17 with their parents. We used the Patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) to rate adolescent depression symptoms, using scales and single-item questions to collect demographic information and other variables. Initial model variables screening used the RF importance assessment, followed by building prediction model using the screened variables through the ANN. The rate of depression symptoms in adolescents was 24.6%, and the depression risk prediction model was built based on 70% of the training set and 30% of the test set. Ten variables were included in the final prediction model with a model accuracy of 85.03%, AUC of 0.892, specificity of 89.79%, and sensitivity of 70.81%. The top 10 significant factors of depression risk were adolescent rumination, adolescent self-esteem, adolescent mobile phone addiction, peer victimization, care in parenting styles, overprotection in parenting styles, academic pressure, conflict in parent-child relationship, parental rumination, and relationship between parents. The ANN model based on the RF effectively identifies depression risk in adolescents and provides a methodological reference for large-scale primary screening. Cross-sectional studies and single-item scales limit further improvements in model accuracy.

Why we need to talk about Bruno... attachment perspectives on Encanto and the problem with burying grief

This article examines themes of intergenerational trauma in the Disney film Encanto, and the relevance these themes might have for therapists working with those who suffer from intergenerational trauma. The film centres on the Madrigal family, a Columbian family who live in an unnamed village in an enchanted house, having been forced to move to flee violence. Members of the Madrigal family have special gifts. However, there is one member of the family, Mirabel, who does not appear to have a gift. It is Mirabel who notices the cracks in the foundations of the house (a metaphor for her family and their lives), and despite feeling inferior and different to her siblings and cousins is able to investigate further. She challenges the family culture, and goes in search of the mysterious Uncle Bruno. She then gathers the strength to embrace her sister with whom she had a conflicted relationship, and finally confronts her grandmother and the impact of her unresolved trauma. Drawing from Winnicott's concept of "false self", Bowlby's understanding of the impact of loss, and Herman's notions concerning the role of community in healing from trauma, inferences are made about the implications of these themes for therapeutic work.

Character conflicts in the work of Dina Rubina

The subject of the study is the conflicts between the characters in the works of Dina Rubina – "Lubka", "On the Upper Maslovka", and the object is the work of Dina Rubina as a whole. This article analyzes the conflicts that arise between the characters in the literary works of the famous Russian writer Dina Rubina: "Lyubka", "On the Upper Maslovka". Through the clash of characters, the author of the article discusses how Rubina reveals the complex vicissitudes of human life, emotional experiences and psychological drama. Readers can follow the development of conflicts, their impact on the fate of characters and how they help to reveal the main ideas of each work. The thematic aspects of Dina Rubina's works and their relationship with conflicts between characters are also highlighted. Special attention is paid to the analysis of psychological aspects and the depth of characterization of the characters, so that readers can fully sympathize with them and plunge into the unique world created by the author. Research methods include the analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, critical analysis of texts, comparative analysis and generalization of the data obtained. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the fact that it is aimed at identifying and systematizing character conflicts in Rubina's stories and represents the first experience of a comprehensive analysis of this issue. Summing up the impact of conflicts on the artistic value of Dina Rubina's works, we can say that they create realism and depth of works. The conflict allows us to reveal the complexity of the inner world of the characters and put them in front of a serious moral choice. They help to show conflicts in social issues and family relationships, as well as promote understanding and acceptance of different points of view. In general, the conflicts in Dina Rubina's works contribute to their deep content and reflect the complex reality of modern society.

Managing workplace interpersonal conflicts: Harnessing employees’ emotional intelligence and organizational learning

Purpose The present study explores the need to strengthen the organizational learning culture to aid constructive conflict management through high levels of employees’ emotional intelligence. Design/methodology/approach In the current study, with relevant support from the literature, the authors review the need to develop a high degree of emotional intelligence through knowledge acquisition, sharing and utilization for constructive conflict management in the workplace. Findings Emotional intelligence significantly aids employees in integrating newly obtained information with the organization’s established processes. Individuals with a high degree of emotional intelligence possess the aptitude to deal with dysfunctional task, process, and relationship conflicts with a centralized focus on organizational learning. Originality/value The authors have proposed a learning model which indicates that individuals with a high degree of emotional intelligence possess the aptitude to deal with dysfunctional task, process and relationship conflicts. With a focus on organizational learning, the model can aid managers in developing training initiatives for knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing and knowledge utilization among employees.

Intimate partner violence in India: Patterns, causes and way forward

Intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to the physical, sexual, and emotional abuse that can occur between intimate partners or spouse. 1 out of 4 women globally estimated to experience some kind of violence and in this context IPV is a major issue, especially for women. This paper tries to explores the different forms IPV including physical violence to emotional manipulation and controlling behaviors. It examines the cyclical nature of abuse related to IPV and the key factors that increase IPV risk, such as relationship conflicts, poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues, and societal gender norms around power dynamics. With special reference to India, the paper analyzes national survey data showing high rates of domestic violence across many states. While laws like the Domestic Violence Act exist, social stigma and power imbalances prevent many victims from reporting abuse. The paper emphasizes on the basis of the analysis of the literature that addressing IPV requires a multi-faceted approach which must include- promoting gender equality, strict law enforcement, providing mental health support, and crucially, changing mindsets through community engagement to remove stigma around this issue and create mass level awareness among people. Only a concerted effort from all sectors of society can prevent IPV effectively.

Addressing multi-attribute large-scale group decision making with overlapping subgroups: A bidirectional adjustment consensus reaching method for heterogeneous decision makers

Due to the rapid development of internet technology, multi-attribute large-scale group decision making (MALSGDM) becomes a research hotspot of multi-attribute group decision making. An interesting phenomenon is that decision makers (DMs) may assume multiple roles across various interest groups, thereby naturally forming overlapping subgroups. Aiming at the MALSGDM problem with overlapping subgroups, this paper proposes an overlapping subgroup-based consensus reaching method considering heterogeneous DMs. Firstly, a novel overlapping clustering method is proposed to decompose the large-scale group into several overlapping subgroups characterized by low evaluation conflict and stable trust relationship, thereby identify ordinary and key DMs. Secondly, a two-criteria consensus reaching judgment method is devised as the termination condition for the consensus reaching process. Thirdly, a novel bidirectional adjustment method considering heterogeneous DMs is constructed, which focuses on key DMs belonging to multiple subgroups simultaneously. The adjusted evaluation values are obtained through linear uncertain minimum adjustment consensus models under two different cases. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, and the comparative and sensitivity analyses are carried out to verify the superiority of the proposed method.

Oil embargo as a diplomacy tool: possibilities and limitations on the example of the Israeli crisis

In the following article the possibility of application of the oil embargo tool as a mean of impacting the crisis settlement is considered. The chosen case is the Palestine-Israel confl ict in its active phase since October 2023. The Yom Kippur war of 1973 and the invasion of Israel by Hamas of 7 October 2023 are compared, distinguishing similarities and diff erences. The common features are the start of the operation exactly 50 years after the historical precedent, collective character of the attack, its suddenness, and also a huge potential of Arab countries in the world oil market. There are some distinctive features revealed by the author, though. The Arab states are to a bigger extent aimed at conducting negotiations and resolving the confl ict by diplomatic means than in 1973, the structure of the world oil market is different compared to how it was 50 years ago, giving the OPEC members less possibilities for action, as well as fragmentation among the cartel members themselves, decreasing the opportunity agree on the embargo. The author remarks the intention of several Arab countries, in particular, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, to mediate the confl ict, as well as their aspiration to preserve the trend of restoring relations with Israel. The article highlights the position of researchers about the importance of network diplomacy during confl ict settlement. The shares of countries non entering the OPEC, namely, the United States of America, Russia, Canada are investigated. The conclusion about their important role as oil producers, what limits the possibility of oil embargo,is done. The question of lack of political unity among the OPEC members, as, for example, Saudi Arabia and Iran, Iran and Iraq, is unveiled. The factor of political instability in Libya is emphasised. The author comes to the conclusion about necessity to possess a significant share in the oil market, as well as the political consensus for an effective usage of the oil embargo tool. The relevance of the article is based on an increasing role of the Palestine-Israeli confl ict in contemporary international relations, but also the necessity to study the possibility of using the oil embargo in the current conditions, being based on the successful experience of 1970s. The chosen methods are historical and comparative analysis.
