Integration of Social Values Through Sport

Social values are views/rules adopted in human life that are considered good or bad, right or wrong, and beautiful or not beautiful. Social values are used as a way to be able to respect yourself and also other people around you. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in the results of developing social values through sports activities. The sports activities in question are individual sports (athletics) and team sports (football). The method used in this research is an experiment with a multiple treatment and control design with pretest-posttest. Researchers made an instrument called the social values scale for sport. This study took a sample of students who were carrying out athletic and football learning. There are 4 groups, each group consisting of 30 students. The sample was divided into four groups consisting of 1) intentionally structuring athletics, 2) non-intentionally structuring athletics, 3) intentionally structuring football, and 4) non-intentionally structuring football. In this study, it was found that there was a significant difference in results between the learning groups (athletics and football) intentionally structuring on improving social values or by obtaining a p-value <0.001, which means that there really is a significant difference in the group compared to the learning group (athletics and football) non-intentionally structuring. So, it can be concluded that athletic and football sports activities are a good means to shape social values through intentional structuring. This has an influence on improving outcomes since they not only gain strong talents, but they also ideally develop social values as a provision for our young generation to continue to participate in this globalized competition.

Social Values and Their Relationship to Teachers' Awareness of Sustainable Development Standards

This study investigates the level of social values and their relationship to awareness of sustainable development standards among teachers. The sample of the study includes 391 male and female teachers who were randomly chosen from schools in Irbid Governorate. Two study tools were employed to collect data, namely, the social values scale which consists of 8 items distributed on six domains (responsibility, environmental, citizenship, tolerance, work, and justice values), and the sustainable development principles scale which consists of 3 items distributed on three domains (social, environmental, and economic). The results of the study showed that the level of social values was high on the scale and in all domains, as follows: environmental, citizenship, tolerance, responsibility, and work, respectively, except justice values, which came at an average level. Furthermore, the level of awareness of the criteria of sustainable development combined in its three domains was high, as follows: environmental, social, and economic, respectively. Also, the results showed that there was a statistically positive significant relationship at (α = 0.01) between the sample's estimates on the scale of social values and their estimates on the scale of sustainable development. The study recommends including social values and sustainable development standards in curricula and study plans for students, and in teacher preparation programs.

The effect of music education on the social values of preschool children

This study aims to explore the effect of music education on the acquisition of social values by preschool children. In this study, a quasi-experimental pattern model with the pretest–posttest control group is employed. The Preschool Social Values Scale is used for collecting the data. The participants of this study are 26 preschool children (the experimental and control groups contain 13 children each). Whilst the experimental group underwent 30 minutes of music training twice a week for 10 weeks, the control group pursued their preschool education. Music education with the experimental group consists of activities, where students are active and experience music. Songs containing social values were taught to children in the unity of play music and movement. At the end of the study, the scores related to the social values of the experimental group improved as compared to that of the control group. No meaningful difference was detected between the posttest and follow-up test social values’ scores.

Disparity in Perceptions of Social Values for Ecosystem Services of Urban Green Space: A Case Study in the East Lake Scenic Area, Wuhan.

Urban green space can bring various ecosystem benefits to diverse social groups. Among those ecosystem benefits, intangible social values are often neglected but highly relevant to human welfare. Existing research on the social values of urban green space often focusses on the perspective of urban inhabitants rather than tourists, even though tourists are also major beneficiaries. By combining different data sources into a comprehensive source about green-space social values, we investigated the disparity between inhabitants' and tourists' perceptions about space-associated social values, and further explored the underlying environmental conditions in the East Lake scenic area, Wuhan. For this, we collected 347 questionnaires through an on-site survey and 11,908 photos uploaded by 2165 social media users (Sina Blog), and we used SolVES (Social Value for Ecosystem Services) to uncover the spatial patterns of social values and the relationships between social value indicators and natural surroundings. Social-value hotspots occurred near water and trails. Perceptions differed, however, between inhabitants and tourists. Inhabitants perceived a larger scale of social values and could benefit more from recreation and economic values. Tourists, on the other hand, showed greater appreciation for aesthetic and cultural values. Environmental features were associated with social values to differing extent; distance to water and land use/cover exerted significantly influence. These findings should be taken into consideration to improve urban spatial planning and to optimize green infrastructures for human welfare.

The Phenomenon of Bullying: A Case Study of Jordanian Schools at Tafila

The aim of this research was to investigate the phenomenon of bullying and the dangerous effects on victims and thesecurity of school environment, and to understand the psycho-social dimensions, through recognizing the degree ofcontribution of embodying the social values, feeling inferiority and strength of inner feeling of bullies who try tocompensate some difficulties and get social and psychic giants in Tafila Public Schools south Jordan. The sample ofthe study was consisted 300 male and female bullies students at the high-primary stage in the academic year2009/2010 in 8th, 9th and 10th grades. The researcher developed three scales for the purpose of this study: bullyingscale, bullying measure developed for this study: social values scale feeling inferiority scale and the conscienceawakening scale. Means and SDs, ANNOVA and the Chaffee test were utilized in this study. Results indicated thatthe variable of feeling inferior was the strongest factor for predicting bullying and Awakening of conscience andsocial values were found to have a negative relationship with bullying. In addition, it was shown that male studentsare more practiced in bullying than female students and there were statistically significant differences among themeans of students performance in (8th – 10th grades) in bullying only, where no statistically significant differencesindicated among the three levels of grades in social values, feeling interior and awakening of conscience.

Examination of Youth Team Athletes' Social Values According to Some Variables

In this study, it was aimed to examine of youth team athletes' social values according to some variables. The study was carried out by screening model and includes in range of 9-17 years 273 youth team athletes who take part in individual and team sports such as Taekwondo, Handball, Badminton, Wrestling, Volleyball and Football."A tool for Measuring Values: Multi-Dimensional Social Values Scale" developed by Bolat (2013) and "Demographic Characteristic Questionnaire" were used.For statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study, arithmetic mean and standard deviation were applied. Since the variable did not meet the normal distribution and homogeneity conditions, t-test and ANOVA test were applied from the parametric tests and significance level of .05 was selected for statistical significance.As a result of the study, according to the age variable, statistically significant differences were found in the Family Values, Scientific Values, Working-Job Values, Religious Values, Traditional Values and Political Values sub-dimensions of 11-12 age group athletes. There was a significant difference in Scientific Values, Working-Job Values, Religious Values and Traditional Values sub-dimension scores of the athletes according to gender variable. It was also found out that team athletes' scores of Family Values, Scientific Values, Religious Values and Traditional Values sub-dimension were higher than individual athletes.

Examining the Relation between Social Values Perception and Moral Maturity Level of Folk Dancers

The purpose of the present study is to examine the relation between social values perceptions and moral maturity levels of folk dancers, and evaluate this relation in terms of some variables. The relational screening model was used in the study. The “Multi-dimensional Social Values Scale”, which was developed by Bolat (2013), and the “Moral Maturity Scale”, which was developed by Şengün and Kaya (2007), were used as the data collection tools. The sampling of the study consisted of 251 volunteering individuals who were selected with the Random Selection Technique from among the individuals who participated in Interuniversity Folk Dances Championship in 2016-2017. In the scope of the study, the descriptive statistics were computed for social values perceptions and moral maturity levels of the folk dancers. In evaluating the data of the study, frequencies and percentage distributions were used as statistical method. In addition, the t-test was used for paired groups, the one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) was used for multiple groups, and the Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to detect the relation between the variables. The p value of significance was taken as 0,05 in different tests.When the findings of the study were examined, it was determined that the social value perceptions and moral maturity levels of the folk dancers who participated in Interuniversity Folk Dances Championship were at a high level, and there was a significant relation in positive direction between the perceptions in all sub-dimensions of the Multi-Dimensional Social Values Scale and the moral maturity levels of the participants. In this context, it is possible to claim that as the moral maturity levels of the folk dancers increase, so do their social values perceptions. When the social value perceptions were analyzed in terms of sub-dimensions, it was determined that the highest perception was in religious values sub-dimension, and the lowest perception was detected in political values. When the findings of the study were analyzed in terms of demographical variables, it was determined that there were significant differences between some of the sub-dimensions of the Social Values Scale and the “gender, the faculty studied at, folk dances experience, income level and the place where the participant spend most of his/her life” variables.

In a changing context in and for the university, with new organizational approaches coming from the unique situation – such as that associated with the EHEA –, along with the undeniable technological progress; it is also unequivocal the permanence and, at times, the aggravation of social and economic inequalities in the national and international levels. That is why we must try to educate college students through ways and means capable of strengthening a consistent scale of social values and attitudes; taking into account the self-construction of personality and giving special attention to social experiences. Since in a changing social and economic environment, a more conscious and active citizenship, more adaptable and competitive while more supportive and critical, will be the thorough answer. The proposal outlined in this paper considers service-learning as an instruction path inside the classroom, but even beyond the class. Thus, we are presenting the PEINAS project (Multicultural Pedagogy and service-learning), an experience developed at the University of Santiago de Compostela, where students of 2nd year of the Degree in Pedagogy. Within this program, students learn while they are performing a service with organizations working for interculturalism. Among the conclusions reached, most importantly, here and now, it is that service-learning shall be understood as a vector of innovation, with the assistance of other strategies it can produce a better connection between the academic and social dimensions of learning.How to reference this articlePriegue Caamano, D., & Sotelino Losada, A.

Effects of "face" consciousness on status consumption among Chinese consumers: perceived social value as a mediator.

Chinese consumers are interested in status consumption, i.e., in striving to enhance their social standings through the consumption of luxury products. This study investigates how face consciousness, one's social self-esteem, and desire to be respected influences status consumption behavior in China. The Consciousness of Social Face Scale, the Social Value Scale, and the Status Consumption Scale were administered to 192 MBA students from a university in east China (117 men, 69 women, 6 unreported sex). The results revealed that face consciousness was positively related to Chinese consumers' status consumption. Moreover, the results showed that the effects of face consciousness on status consumption were partly mediated by consumer social value. The findings highlight the importance of face consciousness in understanding Chinese consumer behaviors.

Service-learning and Employability. A View from the Major Areas of Scientific Knowledge.

This research is proposed within a context of change in and for the university, with new organizational approaches deriving from a unique situation, that associated to the EEES. We must therefore try to educate university students in such a way that they are able to strengthen a scale of social values and coherent attitudes, taking into consideration the autonomous formation of personality and paying special attention to social experiences.To this effect, we relate service-training and university to be of use in managing changes in the initial training of future graduates, attempting to strengthen aspects relating to professional competence. The problem of research appears in terms of pedagogical feasibility and efficiency, following a prior assessment of the situation in Galician universities as potential promoters of service-learning programmes. This paper focuses on an analysis of the main differences existing between the major areas of knowledge when examining the labour insertion of students and the relevance of service-learning in this respect.In short, we have observed that teachers from the fields of Legal and Social Sciences are more prone to regard civic and ethical training in university as a means to the labour insertion of students, without this giving rise to statistically significant differences compared to the other fields of knowledge. Thus, this group shows it has a greater knowledge of service-learning although Experimental Science teachers testify to the greatest number of experiences.

A tool for Measuring Values: Multi-Dimensional Social Values Scale

The purpose of this study is to introduce the Multi-Dimensional Social Values Scale, and the scale development process. In the analysis of quantitative data obtained from research, factor analysis, correlation, reliability, t-test, variance, frequency, standard deviation, Bartlett Test for Sphericity and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin analyses have been used as well as analyzing descriptive statistics.Implementation of the calculations made in light of the data obtained by the measurement instrument validity and reliability of the vehicle test values were found to be at an acceptable level. The findings of this study show that a reliable and valid instrument to measure social values to MDSSV. In this measuring tool which prepared as 5 Likert type scale, there are 42 statements of social values. In this scale of social values, 6 dimensions of social values are present.

Television and the promotion of mental health

Current media campaigns, realized within national campaigns and actions on mental health prevention and promotion, are considered in this paper, in the context of expert public relation, as well as the whole society, towards mental health. Mental health promotion is determined as a range of activities by which individuals, community and society are being enabled to take control over mental health determinants and to improve it, but also as an action for improvement of mental health position on individual and social value scale. Characteristics and approach to mental health protection of citizens in Serbia are introduced in the paper, with reference to high incidence and prevalence of mental health disorders, as well as actual challenges to mental health of individuals, but also to modern society. Outcomes of the Survey: ?Radio and television and prevention of addictive diseases?, realized by the Radio-television of Serbia for the purpose of establishing informative-educational role of electronic media in the field of health, are also considered. Project ?Mental Capital and Wellbeing? and TV campaign for mental health promotion, realized in England, are quoted as an illustration of necessary strategic and multidisciplinary approach to mental health promotion, in which media represent an important complementary strategy.

Valuing health technologies at nice: recommendations for improved incorporation of treatment value in HTA

Pricing, reimbursements and coverage decisions for medical innovations and services are complex. In many countries, valuing medical technologies is the responsibility of national health-care systems that strive for distributive efficiency under fiscal constraints on medical spending. In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is charged with the difficult task of assessing new and existing medical technologies, and making recommendations that guide NHS coverage decisions. These are responsibilities that NICE carries out rigorously and with the objective of achieving efficiency in the allocation of NHS resources. Nevertheless, the current process of health technology appraisal (HTA) has been criticized for failure to systematically incorporate important sources of value from new innovations. In maintaining NICE’s current approach to HTA, the UK risks suboptimal patient outcomes and social welfare relative to what could be achieved if limited NHS resources were targeted toward those technologies with greatest social value. Perhaps recognizing these limitations, NICE commissioned Professor Sir Ian Kennedy in January, 2009, to carry out a study of valuing innovation aimed at addressing the approach that should be adopted by NICE to ensure that innovation is properly taken into account when establishing the value of new health technologies; whether particular forms of value be considered more important than others; how should innovation in health technologies be defined and understanding the relationship between innovation and value. As part of this process, we were asked to present our views on what such new approaches may be and how they could be implemented in practice within the NICE regulatory framework. This work was presented to the Kennedy Commission on May 19, 2009. We discuss these approaches below, and expand on ways in which important value dimensions can be integrated within the current framework. While framed in response to the Kennedy study, these views are broadly applicable to other health-care systems charged with valuing innovation and achieving distributive efficiency.

Predictor of Business Students’ Attitudes Toward Sustainable Business Practices

This study examined individual difference characteristics as predictors of business students’ attitudes toward sustainable business practices. Three types of predictors were considered: personal values, individualism–collectivism, and leadership styles. Data were collected from 248 business students attending a mid-sized university in western United States using self-reported questionnaires. Few gender differences were present. Hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for personal demographic characteristics, indicated that business students scoring higher on Rokeach’s social value scale, collectivism, and transformational leadership also reported more positive attitudes toward sustainable business practices. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Medical students' personal values and their career choices a quarter-century later.

A longitudinal study of 391 physicians tested two hypotheses regarding personal values and career choices: that higher preference for social values would be associated with physicians' being more interested in "people-oriented" rather than "technology-oriented" specialties and that higher preference for economic values would be associated with expectations of high income. The physicians (344 men, 47 women) were graduates of Jefferson Medical College in 1974 and 1975 who completed the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values during medical school. Analysis showed that physicians currently in the "people-oriented" specialties scored significantly higher on the Social Value scale than their peers in "technology-oriented" specialties. A moderate but statistically significant correlation was found between scores on the Economic Value scale and expectations of higher income. The findings suggest that physicians' personal values are relevant to their career decisions such as specialty choice and expectations of income. The findings have implications with regard to two major issues in the evolving health care system, namely, the distribution of physicians by specialty and cost containment.

Professional socialization in pharmacy: A cross-sectional analysis of dominant value characteristics of agents and objects of socialization

This paper presents the findings resulting from one portion of a broad study relating to the socialization of pharmacy students. Of specific interest in this component of the study was an analysis of the values demonstrated by the objects and agents of socialization in pharmacy on the Study of Values. The Study of Values was administered to preceptors and faculty persons in pharmacy and students representing four academic class levels. It was found that the socialization process in pharmacy does not alter the value structuring of student groups in terms of movement away from or toward those values held by preceptors and faculty. Independent differences between preceptors and students on the AESTHETIC, SOCIAL and RELIGIOUS value scales were detected. Furthermore, preceptors differed from faculty on their response to the SOCIAL value scale. However, these differences did not seem to contribute to a differential socialization pattern among students.

Scales to Measure Autonomous and Social Achievement Values

Inventory scales were constructed through factor analysis of Bendig's (1964) and Costello's (1967) items and then lengthened through item-analyses on additional items. Split-half and test-retest reliabilities were acceptable. The autonomous value scale correlated with university examination performance, differentiated between part-time and full-time students, was related to attitudes changed by an achievement motivation course for high school underachievers and correlated with inventory scales that converge on achievement behavior; high scorers seem to be highly socialized and have internalized standards of excellence. The social-value scale was not related to achievement behavior but seems to reflect needs for recognition, succorance, and sociability; males found these values socially undesirable, yet obtained higher means than females.

The Cloacal Region of American Corrections

Local jails have been denounced by social critics and citizens alike, but moral indignation has effected little change. The obstacles to change are rooted in local control, public indifference, and low priority in the scale of social values. The result is underbudgeting, understaffing, over crowding or underutilization, and haphazard administration. Suggestions are made for redefining the functions of local jails by allocating some of their traditional functions to other social agencies. Measures designed to avoid pretrial or posttrial jail commitments are explored. Alternatives, such as half way houses and work release also are examined. Other sug gestions run the gamut, from central control by the state, to state-set minimum standards. Some political recommenda tions are made about prisoners' voting, and changing the limited tenure of office for sheriffs who cannot succeed them selves, in order to use political influence for purposes of reform rather than neglect. The prospects for local jail reform do not look hopeful.

Adjusting Southern Agriculture to Economic Changes

The old South was agricultural, with its economic activities and scale of social values closely related to land ownership. The initial importance of tobacco, which early in the nineteenth century was surpassed by the great staple of cotton, gave rise to a specialized and relatively simple agriculture which held many of its characteristics for a century. While other regions seized upon the new instruments of steam, electricity, and machinery to develop manufactures, such efforts in the South gave way to continued production of great quantities of raw materials, in which it was favored by both resources and experience. Within recent decades, however, the old staples have encountered a rising competition in foreign markets. Each year the cotton from India and Egypt fills a larger part of the foreign demand. In the last season world consumption of American cotton decreased 1,600,000 bales from the five-year average of 14,600,000 bales, while consumption of Indian and other cotton was about 1,100,000 bales more than the fiveyearaverageof 10,300,000bales. Inthe home market new fabrics have entered to compete with cotton; rayon, for example, now constitutes four per cent of all our textile fibers. Meanwhile the newer agricultural sections of the South have expanded their production until output in the cotton states west of the Mississippi now exceeds that of all the states to the east. In comparison with the western states, lowered fertility and smaller fields of the older area offer it little
