Factors Associated with Sexually Explicit Internet Material Use among Adolescents: A Systematic Review.

The advent of the Internet has made pornography more accessible to many people, including teenagers. This systematic review aimed to synthesize data on factors associated with the consumption of sexually explicit internet materials (SEIM) among adolescents. A total of 753 records in Scopus, Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, and PsycINFO databases were sorted. Forty-eight quantitative survey studies that presented original empirical results and addressed SEIM use among adolescents were included for data extraction, quality analysis, and synthesis. The prevalence of SEIM use varied substantially between studies due to inconsistencies between the operationalization methods used to assess the theoretical construct of SEIM, the period of use (days, months, years), and the age of the participants. SEIM use was highly related to being a boy and having an independent relational style. It was moderately associated with more sexual agency and hyperfemininity for girls and associated with small-to-moderate effect size, with more willingness to engage in casual sex. Sexual performance orientation, sexual permissiveness, bullying behavior, and Internet addiction might be associated with SEIM consumption, although the effect size of these associations was not calculated. Among developmental predictors with high and medium effect sizes, greater use of SEIM in adolescents was associated with being older or reaching puberty. Peer pressure or striving for peer popularity can account for boys' greater exposure to SEIM. The results described show the importance of standardizing the evaluation of SEIM use. Literacy in the use of pornography among teenagers is essential to prevent the possible negative impacts of SEIM consumption.

Gender Disparities and Femininity in the Third Mission: The Example of Blog Writing

Abstract The “third mission” in academia refers to work that makes research accessible and relevant to policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. This article explores the third mission from a gender and feminist perspective, analysing blog posts to illustrate gender disparities in Swedish academia. The analysis identifies gender differences in blog post frequency, topics, and styles. Women tend to write about general and popular themes with an emotionally charged and inclusive approach. In contrast, men focus more on research-related topics with an ostensibly neutral and assertive style. This difference reflects traditional gendered communication patterns, where women often adopt a relational style, and men take a factual approach. These gendered norms can potentially affect research focus and career progression. The implications suggest that these patterns reinforce societal gender norms, perpetuating disparities and limiting women’s voices in academic and research settings.

Formation and Transmission of Traditional Values in a Modern Multigeneration Family

The purpose of the article is to discuss ideas about traditional family values that determine the sociocultural appearance of the modern Russian family and the style of intrafamily relations; about the influence of social institutions on the formation of these values, about the role of sociocultural channels of their transmission in the everyday life of families, including multigenerational ones. In the scientific literature, there is uncertainty in the interpretation of the content and scope of the concepts of “traditional family values” and “multi-generation family”, ambiguity in approaches to studying the structure of family values and methods of transmitting them to new generations. This reduces the effectiveness of scientific research against the background of the current significant increase in the activity of government policy to ensure the dominance of traditional values in the public consciousness, including in the sphere of family life. The article examines the features of a multigenerational family that localizes the direct communication of its members, which are significant for understanding the specifics of the processes of formation and transmission of traditional values in it, including those caused by the modern digitalization of communication. The study of expert opinion, which is of a reconnaissance nature, made it possible, firstly, to identify the institutional nature of traditional family values that unite close relatives for the sustainable functioning of the family community; secondly, to make the assumption that the reasons for the weakening influence of these values in family relationships are associated with a long period and significant amount of anomie in society, with the processes of secularization and digitalization, as well as with the gradual loss of the significance of the multigenerational family in its traditional form as a single household consisting from three or more generations; thirdly, to conclude that the undoubted socializing potential of a multigenerational family requires its transfer to the center of state family policy, as well as conducting in-depth scientific research into modern social problems of this type of family.

“It’s someone who means a lot to me, and who means even more to mom”: Children’s views on the romantic partners of their polyamorous parents

Polyamory is a relationship style that allows individuals to develop multiple romantic relationships simultaneously. Although studies show that many polyamorous people have children, very little is known about the experiences of children growing up in such a family context. Based on 18 semi-structured interviews with Canadian children living with polyamorous parents, we examined the level of emotional closeness they felt towards their parents’ romantic partners, and what these adults meant to them. We found that these children generally appreciated their parents’ partners. These adults were seen by our participants as someone who contributed positively to their lives. More specifically, the participating children —especially pre-teens and younger children— described their parents’ romantic partners as adults: 1) to have fun with, 2) who contributed to their material well-being, 3) who took care of them, and 4) who, through their own children, contributed to expanding their circle of friends. Finally, some children — mainly teenagers and pre-teens— talked about these adults primarily as people who contributed positively to their parents' lives. Overall, this study makes an important contribution to the literature on family diversity.

Uncovering Nursing Communication Strategies and Relational Styles to Foster Patient Engagement in Oncology: A Scoping Review.

Nurses play an active role in fostering engagement of oncological patients, and, therefore, adopting effective communication and interpersonal skills is crucial. However, the nurse-patient relationship and communication strategies are frequently undervalued. This scoping review aims to address this gap with a twofold objective: (1) to explore the existing literature to identify communication strategies and relational styles employed by nurses to promote patient engagement in non-pediatric oncology patients; (2) to assess current knowledge on this topic to determine the need for future research. The search was conducted on different scientific databases and grey literature. The review was conducted following the methodology outlined in the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews and the updated version of the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. Thirteen articles were included in the study. The studies in total enrolled 863 participants. Four clusters of nursing interventions were identified, encompassing communication strategies and relational styles of varying complexity, along with ten categories of general outcomes emerging from their implementation. This study summarizes the current knowledge regarding nursing communication strategies and relational styles used to promote patient engagement in oncological patients. Further research is needed, to evaluate and integrate the researched techniques, tools, and interventions for future clinical nursing practice.

In Genderqueer Closets: Challenging Gender Binarism through Embodied Narratives of Affect and Style

“Queer,” once a derogatory term to refer to sexual minorities, has been recently celebrated as “the fashion avant-garde of our times” through genderqueer self-expression. Despite increased visibility in fashion, research on the feelings and daily practices surrounding genderqueer style remains scarce. This paper addresses this gap by exploring the everyday practices and emotions of non-binary individuals, using the wardrobe as a conceptual framework. Genderqueer forms of self-expression, despite its emergence, have been notably under-explored. In order to address this gap, we ask the question- how do non-binary people assemble their styles in relation to how they feel? We respond to this question through a case study involving thirteen in-depth interviews and social media analysis exploring how non-binary people style themselves, navigate societal constraints, and emotionally engage with clothing. Findings suggest that non-binary individuals assemble their styles to achieve bold contrast, resisting gender norms and navigating the gender spectrum as an exercise of self-acceptance. Their wardrobe assembly is a form of self-identification and self-expression, influenced by spatial considerations that can amplify or conceal gender expression. By theorizing these practices, this study contributes to understanding diverse gender identities in fashion studies and deepens our understanding of fashion and affects.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE SOCIAL WORKERS: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

The relevance of the topic is revealed through the definition of the essence of professional and personal development of future social workers. The author indicates the stages of professional development of an individual, defining this process as long and dynamic at the same time, which involves the individual passing through seven stages: growth; clarification; stages of professional adaptation and stabilization; stages of development of professionalism and pseudo-professionalism; as well as the final stage of post-professionalism. Among the mandatory qualities and skills of a social worker are the following: empathy, psychological competence, delicacy and tact, humanity, mercy, the presence of organizational and communicative abilities, as well as spiritual and moral culture. The article focuses on interactive training of students studying social work, it is indicated that training can be a successful form of training for modern students. Conducting classes in the form of training will allow classroom learning to be brought closer to situations, the course of which can be practiced practically. Training work, as the author emphasizes, has its advantages due to the fact that group interaction of students will allow them to acquire new skills. The training will enable experimentation with different styles of relationships among equal partners, which will be positive in gaining professional experience for the future social worker. It is emphasized that the group is an imprint of society in miniature, where participants in different ways gain the experience of identifying themselves with other people.

“Multimodal” Fits All: Revisiting the Relevance of Perceptual Learning Styles in Higher Education Today

Teaching has been continuously evaluated in light of learning styles research. This highlights the significance of investigating learning styles that may be evolving in tandem with changes in the contemporary era. This study assumes that twenty-first-century students share characteristics not based on unimodal models of learning styles, particularly in higher education. It supports multimodality at both the learning and teaching levels since learners typically prefer and share various learning styles. It employs the field's most influential learning styles framework, Reid's (1987) perceptual learning styles instrument, to investigate the validity of that assumption. To add to and question the corpus of literature that exists in the field, we looked at Saudi university-level learning styles in relation to gender and academic major as independent variables. Participants were identified as English as a foreign language (EFL) student from various academic majors. The quantitative research design of this study revealed that neither academic major nor gender significantly affected the learners’ preferences. Participants demonstrated a diversity of preferences for perceptual learning styles, with minimal overall differences. Nonetheless, they favored auditory learning over group and kinaesthetic styles. It was observed that students with an English major preferred individual learning styles. Research in the field, including the current study, found some discrepancies in PLS tendencies across different contexts and factors. With such inconsistent patterns, multimodal education is a good opportunity for teachers and educationists.

In the eye of the beholder: Social traits predict motor simulation during naturalistic action perception

Previous research has robustly demonstrated that eye contact between actor and observer promotes the simulation of perceived actions into the observer's own motor system, which in turn facilitates social perception and communication. The socially relevant connotation embedded in eye contact may however be different for individuals with differing social traits. Here, we examined how “normal” (i.e. non-clinical) variability in self-reported social responsiveness/autistic traits, social anxiety and interpersonal relationship style (secure, avoidant or anxious attachment) influences neural motor simulation during action observation in different gaze conditions. To do so, we analyzed an existing dataset involving 124 adult participants (age range: 18–35 years) who underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) while observing an actor performing simple hand actions and simultaneously engaging in eye contact or gazing away from the observer. Motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes were adopted as an index of motor resonance. Regression-based analyses highlighted the role of social responsiveness and secure attachment in shaping motor resonance, indicating that socially responsive motor resonance during dyadic gaze (i.e., MEPdirect > MEPaverted) was only observed in participants displaying high levels of these traits. Furthermore, a clustering analysis identified two to three distinct subgroups of participants with unique social trait profiles, showing a clear differentiation in motor resonant patterns upon different gaze cues that is in accordance with a recent neurobiological framework of attachment. Together, results demonstrate that motor resonance within a given social interaction may serve as a sensitive tracker of socio-interactive engagement, which allows to capture subclinical inter-individual variation in relevant social traits.

Perceived Parenting Styles in Relation with Coping Strategies among the Children of Single Parents in Pakistan

Background: The dynamics within single-parent families, particularly the influence of parenting styles on the coping strategies of children, have garnered significant attention in psychological research. The intricate relationship between a parent's approach to raising their child and the child's subsequent development of coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges is pivotal to understanding the psychosocial well-being of children in single-parent families. Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the correlations between different parenting styles—permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative—and the coping strategies adopted by children of single parents. Additionally, it sought to identify which parenting styles significantly predict the coping strategies utilized by these children. Methods: A correlational and comparative study design was employed, involving 153 adolescents aged 13 to 19 from single-parent families in Faisalabad and Sargodha, Pakistan. The Coping Response Inventory (CRI) and Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) were utilized to measure coping strategies and parenting styles, respectively. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson’s moment correlation, regression analysis, and Independent Samples T-Test to examine the relationships between parenting styles and coping strategies and to assess gender differences. Results: The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between permissive and authoritarian parenting styles (r ranging from .439 to .787, p < .01). Regression analysis revealed that logical analysis, positive reappraisal, and problem-solving were significant predictors of coping strategies (p < .001). Gender-based analysis showed females scored significantly higher in positive reappraisal, seeking guidance/support, acceptance/resignation, and emotional discharge coping strategies compared to males (p < .005). No significant gender differences were found in parenting styles. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant impact of permissive and authoritarian parenting styles on the development of coping strategies among children of single parents. Tailored interventions supporting single parents in adopting more adaptive parenting styles could foster better coping mechanisms in their children, enhancing their psychosocial well-being.

Determine a Benchmark for Predicting Skill Performance in Terms of the Offensive Tactical Behavior of Futsal Players

The research aimed to derive predictive equations for the skill performance in terms of the offensive tactical behavior of futsal players, while the research areas included the human field, which was represented by futsal players, and determined the time range for the period from (5/1/2023) until (15/3/2023). The researcher used the descriptive approach in the style of correlation and predictive relations, and the research sample consisted of (100) players from the clubs of Maysan province futsal, and the researcher applied skill performance tests and tactical behavior; Predictive equations were also extracted through which skill performance can be predicted in terms of offensive tactical behavior, and the researcher recommended the need for coaches to pay attention to offensive situations because of their great role in the performance of skills being one of the basic requirements that affect sports performance.

Multidimensional Measurement of Attitudes Toward Consensual Non-Monogamy

ABSTRACT Despite increased interest in consensual non-monogamy (CNM), significant stigma remains against CNM. Consequently, there is a need for scales to assess attitudes toward CNM. In response to this need we developed the Multidimensional Attitudes toward CNM Scale (MACS). Items were developed in consultation with content experts and data were collected from two samples at two different Canadian Universities. Fit indices of exploratory (Sample A) and confirmatory (Sample B) factor analysis suggested a 16-item scale with three underlying factors: CNM is Dysfunctional, CNM is Immoral, and CNM is Healthy and Satisfying. Validity analyses, conducted using the combined sample (n = 806; 79% women; 67% heterosexual), demonstrated that participants with higher MACS total scores (i.e. more negative attitudes) were less likely to have ever been involved in a CNM relationship and were more likely to report monogamy as their ideal relationship style. Higher MACS scores were also associated with more negative attitudes toward bisexuality and toward women, and higher scores on measures of homophobia and jealousy. In contrast, individuals with higher scores on the CNM is Healthy subscale tended to score higher on measures of empathy. The MACS demonstrates strong psychometric properties and can assist in better understanding attitudes toward CNM relationships in research and clinical settings.

“Can I really be authentic?” A co-created critical autoethnography on whiteness in dance/movement therapy education

As a cultural force, Whiteness is insidious in dance/movement therapy (DMT) education. In the process of learning, East Asian international students and educators may aspire to White, middle-class, able-bodied, heteropatriarchal norms of what constitutes healthy movement and relational styles while excluding others, particularly within a group dynamic that privileges modern dance technique and overt emotional and verbal expression. The reach of educational neocolonialism in East Asian countries further perpetuates this force. As the foundational form of the discipline of DMT, “modern dance” is the standard of the expressive practice. And although “other” dance forms are starting to be welcomed, there is still a gap regarding how these are included into DMT education and applied in practice. This co-created critical autoethnography emerged from an embodied reflexive dialogue between two East Asian former international students on their experience of Whiteness in DMT education. Through counternarratives, we illustrate ways towards a decolonizing praxis of DMT that is situated within the educational environment and with the students with whom we work as educators and supervisors.

Attachment Representations and Emotions in Teaching as Antecedents to Teaching Styles in Higher Education

The current study explored how relational antecedents and emotional experiences were associated with faculty-centered versus student-centered approaches to teaching in higher education. One hundred and forty-one faculty members from two institutions of higher education in the United States completed self-report surveys regarding an undergraduate course they were teaching that semester. Path analyses showed that faculty reports of a secure attachment style were positively correlated with positive teaching-related emotions and, in turn, with greater use of a student-centered, inquiry-based approach to teaching emphasizing engagement with course material and restructuring of students’ knowledge. Faculty reports of avoidant and anxious-ambivalent attachment styles were correlated with greater negative teaching-related emotions and, in turn, with greater use of a faculty-centered, direct instruction teaching approach. These findings suggest that attachment theory is a useful lens through which to understand why faculty might feel more positively or negatively about their teaching and, in turn, the teaching approaches they employ. We discuss how our findings might inform the re-design of faculty training programs to encourage reflection on relationship styles and greater positive emotions about teaching.

Attachment styles, mental health, and trauma during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in an Italian adult population.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted adults' mental health around the world. Various studies highlighted the role of sociodemographic risk factors, including age, gender, and level of education, in increasing this impact. Although insecure attachment styles are considered a vulnerability factor for psychopathology and difficulties in coping with stressful situations, few studies have examined the role of attachment styles in relation to psychological responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate the role of attachment styles in affecting psychopathological problems and post-traumatic symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of Italian adults (N=1548). During the first lockdown in Italy, the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, and Symptom Checklist 90-Revised were administered to the participants to assess attachment styles, trauma-related symptoms, and psychopathological problems. The results showed that 41% of the participants had symptoms of clinical and subclinical relevance during the pandemic. Anxious and avoidant insecure attachment styles predicted psychopathological problems and post-traumatic symptoms, whereas secure attachment style was a protective factor. Our results highlighted the significant role played by the quality of attachment styles on adult mental health during the pandemic, providing valuable elements for targeted psychological support interventions.

The effects of online art therapy on ego functions, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationship styles in neurotic personality organization

Art therapy, as an effective therapeutic intervention, is used to improve positive self-image and self-awareness, promote insight, and enhance therapeutic communication. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of art psychotherapy on ego functions, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationship styles of individuals with neurotic personality organization. Using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design, 60 participants were assigned to intervention and control groups, each further divided into three subgroups (n = 10 per subgroup). The intervention group engaged in online art therapy sessions twice weekly over nine weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests, and independent t-tests. There was a significant decrease in the intervention group's judgmental subdimensions of the Ego Function Assessment Scale. A significant decrease was found in the intervention group in “awareness” (p < 0.01), “clarity” (p < 0.05), and “impulse” (p < 0.001) subdimensions and total scores of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. There was no statistical difference between the intervention and control groups' mean pretests and posttests and comparing those groups with each other concerning IRSQ scores. The online group art therapy led to successful improvements in participants' ego functions and emotion regulations.

3D sweater garment style generation based on 3D anthropometric characteristic parameters

This paper proposes a method for three-dimensional style modeling of loose sweaters. Through the correlation analysis of the three-dimensional human body and the classic sweater style, a style model was built on the three-dimensional human body model to realize efficient personalized sweater design and production. First of all, the design model was extracted from the human body model based on the characteristics of the ring-cutting algorithm. Secondly, the loose model of the sweater was established based on the chest, waist, and hip data of the human body. Subsequently, the feature line between the size information and style features was created, and curve interpolation values were combined with joint smoothing methods to generate a multi-faceted sweater style model. Finally, the mapping function was used to flatten the style model, the related styles were woven by operating the computer, and the suitability of the established sweater fabric was verified. The comparison results showed that the accuracy of the style construction of this model was improved. Through the analysis of experimental data, it can be proven that the method proposed in this paper can quickly and accurately establish a three-dimensional style model of a sweater, without the need for repeated measurements to make templates, thus saving development time.
