The Impact of Role Models on Women’s Self-Selection into Competitive Environments

In this paper, we show that competitive female role models reduce women’s perceived stereotype threat and increase their willingness to compete. Competitive male role models have the opposite effect: they reduce women’s willingness to compete, and the gender gap in tournament entry increases. Results are strongest for the best performing women who would benefit most from competing. Role models have no impact on low performing women, and on men.

Level of Intellectual Intelligence and Level of Moral Intelligence in Citizenship Learning at the Education Level

The educational process in school is a process that is not personal in nature but rather comprehensive in nature . Many experts state that to achieve success a person must have a high Intelligence Quotient (IQ), because intelligence is a provision of abilities that can facilitate the educational process and in time will produce maximum educational achievement. The aim of this article is to determine the level of intellectual intelligence and the level of moral intelligence in citizenship learning. And also this research aims to identify the efforts of citizenship learning teachers in developing students' moral intelligence and intellectual intelligence, because students not only need academic achievement, they also need moral and intellectual skills, especially when dealing with other people.

Role Model Of The Education Council On The Performance Of Madrasah Principals And Madrasah Teachers (Private) In Bekasi District

Research on the Role Model of the Education Council on the Performance of Madrasah Principals and Madrasah Teachers, conducted by sampling 9 madrasahs in Bekasi District, utilizes both quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews, observations, and document analysis) methods. The study addresses the lack of attention to education in madrasahs from local governments and relevant educational institutions. This lack of attention leads to various issues regarding madrasah services, facilities, curriculum, performance, low student enrollment, and madrasah output. These issues need to be addressed seriously through oversight from institutions overseeing education, including the Education Council. This institution plays a quantitative control role and three qualitative roles: Advice, Support, and Mediator. Implementing teaching approaches tailored to the characteristics of madrasah principals and teachers is essential. The research adopts a descriptive approach with qualitative methods. Data collection procedures include observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted interactively and continuously. The findings indicate that the role of the Education Council in improving education quality in Bekasi District still has many shortcomings due to the lack of implementation of the institution's work programs. In conclusion, the role of the Education Council in enhancing education quality in Bekasi District is not optimally executed. The research benefits from understanding and exploring the extent to which the model of the Education Council's role affects the quality of education services, especially for Islamic educational institutions such as madrasahs at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels.

The Impact of Islamic Financial Deepening on Economic Growth in Indonesia

Indonesia is starting to pay attention to this trending issue to boost national economic growth because Indonesia is still below other countries regarding the development of its financial sector, especially in Islamic finance. This study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis, to investigate the influence of various aspects of Islamic finance on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as an indicator of economic growth in Indonesia. This research is expected to be able to examine in more detail the role model of Islamic financial deepening in Indonesia and how it affects economic growth. Through a comprehensive discussion, we examine the potential impact of Islamic financial instruments, including Murabahah, Mudharabah (Islamic deposit), total assets of Islamic banking, Islamic stock market capitalization, and Islamic stock transaction volume, on economic growth. Findings suggest that while certain components, such as government bonds (sukuk), have a significant positive influence on GDP through infrastructure financing and investor confidence, others, like corporate bonds (sukuk), may have limited direct impact due to their focus on specific corporations rather than broad-based economic growth. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of Islamic finance in Indonesia's economic development and informs policymakers, practitioners, and academics on optimizing its contributions while ensuring financial stability and inclusion.

Let’s do Engineering broadens young children’s understanding of engineers

This study developed and applied a new job card methodology to investigate what 5-year-old children in Scotland understand in relation to engineers and engineering. Children were shown images of different jobs and asked to identify the jobs and select the cards showing engineers. The methodology was utilized pre- and post-intervention to determine whether an intervention combining engineer role model imagery and hands-on activities (specifically Let’s do Engineering) would successfully broaden perspectives of engineering, and whether there would be any differences between boys and girls in terms of the effectiveness of the intervention. In total, 16 children of 5–6 year old from one school participated and prior to the intervention could only correctly recognize an average of 1.5 engineers. After intervention, however, all children were able to successfully identify multiple engineers within the job cards, achieving in excess of a three-fold increase in the number of engineers correctly identified, even 2 months after the end of the intervention. When comparing data for boys and girls, analysis showed that there were no between-group gender differences in either perceptions or in strength of impact of the intervention. The engineers identified were well spread across the different engineering fields, indicating that the children developed a broad understanding of different engineering disciplines.

Factors impacting physical activity among post-treatment pediatric cancer survivors with overweight and obesity.

Pediatric cancer survivors (PCS) with overweight and obesity are at risk for various secondary chronic diseases. Although previous research has found physical activity (PA) as beneficial after treatment, the PA levels are low among PCS, highlighting the need for lifestyle interventions targeting PA. A secondary analysis of preliminary baseline data from a multi-site trial, NOURISH-T + , a healthy lifestyle intervention for PCS with overweight and obesity, and their caregivers, was conducted to assess factors related to PCS PA (i.e., moderate to vigorous intensity PA, MVPA). Kendall's Tau-b was used to assess correlations between PCS MVPA, health and treatment-related factors, and caregivers' sedentary behavior and MVPA. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to assess the differences between PCS and caregiver sedentary behavior and MVPA. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine predictors of PCS MVPA. Seventy-three PCS-caregiver dyads were included in this analysis (N = 146). Many of the PCS were female, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, stage 1, with a mean body mass index (BMI) percentile of 94.4 ± 4.7. Caregivers were female and parents to the PCS. Significant correlations were found between PCS MVPA, time since treatment, PCS weight change since COVID, caregiver sedentary behavior and MVPA. Significant differences were observed between PCS and caregiver sedentary behavior and MVPA. Household income, radiation treatment, and caregiver MVPA were significant predictors of PCS MVPA. Conclusions: Demographics, cancer treatment type, and caregiver role modeling are important factors to consider when developing future lifestyle interventions for PCS. (NCT04656496, registered 12-07-2020). • Parents/caregivers are presumed to be a potential influence on their children's physical activity What is new: • Parents/caregivers' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is the strongest predictor of their children's (pediatric cancer survivors') physical activity.

Scientific integrity in biomedical research is a global problem

Science contributes to globalization by creating new knowledge and technologies that can be shared and applied across different regions and cultures. The Regional Cooperation for Health, Science and Technology (RECOOP HST) Association combines the scientific output of partner organizations at the local and regional levels and uses it at the global level to prevent and eliminate major public health problems. Since research integrity (RI) varies among participating research organizations from the U.S.A. to Ukraine, RECOOP HST recognizes that high-quality research and outcomes, as measured by published papers, require a common understanding of scientific integrity and bioethics. During the last 15 years, RECOOP HST has organized workshops to educate scientists about the most devastating forms of research dishonesty: fabrication, falsification or plagiarism, which destroy trust and respect among scientists. Different types of research misconduct require different methods of detection and investigation. Now, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), various plagiarism-checking software has appeared. However, detecting fabrication and falsification is not so easy. In addition, AI should not be used to replace human reviewers, as there is currently insufficient evidence to support AI application in peer review. Two main approaches that RECOOP HST has taken to prevent misconduct and promote RI are evidence-based education and mentoring of students. Mentoring should take the form of informal discussions with students about responsible conduct of research and serving as a role model. Key strategies for promoting integrity include the development of institutional policies and the monitoring of activities with appropriate auditing of data. Keywords: fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, scientific and research integrity

Implementation Of Musa's Leadership As A Role Model In The Field Of Teaching

Leadership is always a topic of conversation for everyone, including in Christian circles. A good leader is a leader who has the ability to influence others to follow him. A good leader is also a leader who comes from God or a leader chosen by God. One of the leaders who is famous and widely recognized by the world is Moses, whose great leadership was recognized by four religions at once (Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism and Islam). Musa's leadership is one of the most influential leaderships in the world. Moses had implemented a good discipleship system. The discipleship system is a spiritual formation process that aims to improve a person's Christian faith and character. In the modern era, this discipleship system is increasingly important to face life's increasingly complex and diverse challenges. Without coaching and guidance from a church leader or fellow believer who is more spiritually mature, believers will experience stagnation in the growth of their faith. Without discipleship, believers may feel dissatisfied with the church and feel like they don't have a comfortable place to grow in their faith.

Principles of Emotional Stability among Muslim Youth and its Educational Applications in the Personality of Prophet Joseph (Yusuf), Peace be Upon Him

Objectives: The aim of this study is to formulate the Islamic principles of emotional stability among Muslim youth, considering them the most important groups in society. This is particularly important due to the contemporary challenges faced by youth today, which intensify their tension and emotions. It was necessary to infer the Islamic principles of emotional stability that teach youth to control their emotions and confront their problems in a balanced manner. Additionally, the aim is to acknowledge the indicators of emotional stability in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace be upon him. Methodology: The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, involving the examination of Quranic verses and Prophetic sayings containing specific emotions. Subsequently, Islamic principles of emotional stability are formulated, followed by their pedagogical application to the character of Yusuf, peace be upon him. Results: The study concluded that emotional stability is a contemporary necessity for Muslim youth. It demonstrates that emotions have both positive and negative effects on human behavior. Additionally, there are Islamic principles for emotional stability, and it is considered that the prophets are perfect role models in this regard. This helps youth achieve numerous benefits in their daily lives. Summary: There are various types of emotions, and clear indications of emotional stability are mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah, from which Islamic principles of emotional stability can be inferred. The character of Yusuf, peace be upon him, serves as a pedagogical application for emotional stability in some aspects. Most likely, the results have a positive reflection of emotional stability in the lives of the youth. Recommendations: This study recommends training youth in emotional stability strategies through training courses, workshops, and inclusion of educational curricula addressing content of emotional stability. Furthermore, it suggests guiding graduate students to conduct research on youth emotions and treatment methods.

Hand-to-hand combat in the 21st century-INNOAGON warrior or modern gladiator?-a prospective study.

In being an important lifestyle factor, the physical activity influences people's health status, including life expectancy. Specific forms of physical activity are exercises related to hand-to-hand combat in the broadest sense, often overlapping and containing similar elements associated with combat sports (for Western culture) and martial arts (for Far Eastern culture). There are many types of forms of practising hand-to-hand combat exercises, which can be seen as opposing or in some ways complementary, e.g.: "traditional"-e.g., karate or kung fu, practised for hundreds or even thousands of years, usually adhering to moral codes of conduct, and drawing ideas from philosophy, religion vs. "modern"-e.g., American pro wrestling or mixed martial arts-MMA, suggesting a combination of various traditional forms of martial arts. In terms of shaping a healthy lifestyle with mental health elements based on the implementation of hand-to-hand combat exercises, an analysis of these fundamental insights into physical activity is warranted. This study aims to investigate the development direction of the hand-to-hand exercises in Western culture, opposing the "traditional" and "modern" forms. In this study, INNOAGON theory responds to the overuse of the term "science of martial arts". It is currently being used to promote extreme aggression and violence as an acceptable means of achieving success, and this model is expressively permeating other spheres of social interaction. In INNOAGON's understanding, hand-to-hand combat should be associated with the ancient thought of "doing good" (ancient Greece) or "wisdom" (Far Eastern cultures) including aesthetic and philosophical aspects. This links to numerous psychosocial benefits, self-esteem, discipline, body-mind coordination including breath control and relaxation, respect for others. The modern form of hand-to-hand combat, framed in these discussions as MMA or American pro wrestling, historically refers to the gladiatorial fights held during the Roman Games. The holding of fights in so-called "cages" refers to the arena in which Roman slave fights were held, and the athletes performing there are often referred to as modern-day "gladiators". Proper education, including education in the area of physical culture, leading to the development of a society turned towards values broader than just fun or self-satisfaction should be the basis for the development of the next generations. It actually remains to decide which path of social change we will choose: in the case of INNOAGON a positive one, and in the case of modern gladiator a destructive one. Only a proper education combined with a broad programme of social role modelling, social facilitation-the foundations of which are laid by INNOAGON-including promotion on the Internet and social media can provide the right counterbalance to the pathology increasingly penetrating our lives, leading to the promotion of aggression and threats to physical and mental health.

Social media: a digital social mirror for identity development during adolescence

AbstractAccording to recent studies, social media are settings where adolescents construct their identities while engaging in social interactions. In digital spaces, adolescents can interact with, display, and receive feedback about themselves, contributing to the development of a clear and integrated sense of self. This paper reviews the available empirical evidence and discusses four overarching themes related to identity construction in social media: self-presentation (attempting to control images of self to others), social comparison (compare themselves with others, especially evaluating the self), role model (media figures that are social references for behavior), and online audience (friends, peers, unknow/know referents with whom users may interact online). Moreover, it proposes a new contextual perspective on identity development on social media. Informed by research on these themes that social media features allow adolescents to perform self-presentations, offering the opportunity to express interests, ideas, and beliefs about themselves (identification and role exploration). The image presented on social media exposes them to feedback, online audiences, and social comparison with peers or social models. Audiences have an impact on how adolescents think about themselves (self-concept validation). Role models can facilitate the learning of behaviors through imitation and identification (exploration and commitment). Thus, the digital world provides a context for the development of adolescents’ personal identity. This proposal aims to contribute to the construction of future theories on identity in social media and advance this area of research.

Beyond Reach but Within Sight: Ethical Leaders’ Pursuit of Seemingly Unattainable Role Models in East Asia

AbstractInspired by Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, many East Asian ethical leaders have aspired to emulate seemingly unattainable sages and buddhas throughout history. This aspiration challenges the common psychological view that significant gaps between role models and actual selves might hinder emulation motivation. It also differs from Western findings, which suggest that ethical leadership often emerges from emulating attainable exemplars like immediate supervisors or mentors. To decipher this intriguing emulation behavior in East Asia, this study employed a multiple-case approach involving 25 ethical leaders from Taiwan. Results indicate that these ethical leaders formulate three approaches to sustain emulation motivation for seemingly unattainable exemplars. First, they draw on East Asian philosophies to address demotivating factors such as ego threats and goal unattainability. Second, they embrace the cultural values of the Sinosphere, amplifying motivators like self-betterment, altruism, and life purpose. Lastly, they capitalize on the collective tendency of their culture to assimilate positive environmental influences, including societal norms and social support. These findings elucidate how and why many East Asian ethical leaders sustain buddha/sage emulation: The cultural resources of the Sinosphere nurture effective psychological strategies, underpinned by universal psychological mechanisms that suggest wider applicability across various societies.

The parent–child relationship in the digital era: The mediator role of digital parental awareness

The parent–child relationship was extensively reshaped during the infusion of digital technologies into families’ daily lives. In this context, this research aims to investigate the relationship between the parent’s time spent with the child and the parent–child relationship when digital parenting awareness including negative and positive roles is taken into consideration. A cross-sectional survey research method was employed. The data was collected by demographic information form, Child-parent Relationship, and Digital Parental Awareness scales. The data was analyzed from 285 parents with 3–6 years old children. In order to test the hypotheses, the Hayes-Process model was employed to determine the mediating effects of sub-dimensions of digital parental awareness between parent’s time spent with the child and the parent–child relationship. The results revealed that being a negative digital role model, digital negligence, parents' effective use of technology, and protection from digital risks partially mediate the link between parent–child time and their relationship. An increase in negative role modeling and digital negligence are associated with a decrease in the positive parent–child relationship. Furthermore, parents’ efficient use of and protection from risks from technology affects the parent–child relationship positively.

Sustaining Family Businesses through Business Incubation: An Africa-Focused Review

The influence of business incubation systems on family businesses in African economies has not been thoroughly investigated despite the potential contribution of family businesses to Africa’s economic expansion and the attainment of development goals outlined in the Africa Development Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, this study investigates the potential benefits that family businesses in Africa can derive from engaging in business incubation. This study utilised an integrative literature review methodology to investigate the research question. Twenty-three peer-reviewed articles were systematically selected from the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases using the following combination of phrases: “family business” and either “business incubation” or “business incubator”. The findings suggest ways to create a mutually beneficial relationship between family businesses and business incubators to improve long-term sustainability, promote collaboration, facilitate knowledge transfer, and foster an entrepreneurial ecosystem. It also recognises challenges, such as cultural alignment in family businesses. Business incubators in Africa can improve the sustainability of family businesses, such as during the succession, by offering support, resources, and guidance. The South African experience is a role model for the rest of the continent, in this regard. Future research should broaden the sources beyond the three databases utilised, including non-peer-reviewed sources such as grey literature, and extend the focus beyond developing economies.

The moderating role of individual and social resources in gender effect on entrepreneurial growth aspirations

PurposeThis study aims to examine how the effect of gender on entrepreneurial growth aspirations is moderated differently by individual resources (human and financial capital) compared to those within the social environment (availability of entrepreneurial knowledge and role models).Design/methodology/approachA multilevel estimator is used to investigate the determinants of growth aspirations of owners-managers of nascent start-ups. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database is employed, covering the period 2007–2019, with 99,000 useable cases drawn from 95 countries.FindingsThe results suggest that individual financial resources and human capital have positive effects on entrepreneurial growth aspirations; yet these effects are weaker for female entrepreneurs relative to males. In contrast, the impact of the availability of entrepreneurial social knowledge and role models on their growth aspirations is more positive than for male entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThis study offers a novel insight into entrepreneurial growth ambition, as it utilises a global perspective to scrutinise whether individual and social resources contribute differently to male versus female growth-aspirations, employing a multilevel approach. It also integrates insights from the resource-based view and from the relevant business literature on entrepreneurs’ gender to develop theoretical explanations.
