Possibilities for a Positive Change in the Body Image of Students in Dance-Motor Training

This article presents a study on the effectiveness evaluation of the author’s program of dance-motor training aimed at developing a positive image of the physical self in adolescence. The authors used a comprehensive approach to assess the effectiveness of training: the types of psychological problems, the characteristics of the image of the physical self, and the functional state of the participants in the training were monitored. The study involved 96 students from Nizhny Novgorod universities aging from 18 to 25. The researchers used the methods of the drawing test ‘Human figure’ (K. Mahover, F. Gudinaf); the test of twenty statements ‘Who Am I’ (M. Kun, T. McPartland); and the method of computer campimetry for assessing the functionalstate of the body by the function of color-diffusion (SA Polevaya). The self-body image of the subjects in the experiment was characterized by weak integration and awareness; negative and disharmonious deep self-esteem; low values of awareness of one’s own uniqueness; and the maximum limit of the green color was detected in more than half of the subjects (61.45%). Dance-motor training was based on themethodological principles of the integrative-holistic and syndrome-factor approach to mental disorders, developed by A.R. Luria. The development of the psychomotor sphere of a personality was considered as a trigger mechanism for restoring the interaction between the psychological and physiological sub-systems of mental activity. The dependence of the content and structure of mental processes on sociocultural experience (i.e., world artistic culture) was actualized. The mechanism of the regulating role of an image and speech in building the movement has become more active. Dance-motor trainings with students were conducted over the course of a year. We used methods of body-oriented psychotherapy, vegetotherapy, and dance-motor therapy, including contact improvisation. The dance-motor training included warm-ups (aerobic and anaerobic exercises, muscle-stretching exercises); the thematic study of muscle clamps; and choreographic performances (learning movement stereotypes, free and contact improvisation). In the control experiment, a statistically significant conjugate dynamics was observed for the majority of the studied parameters (0.001).

Psychodynamics of Suicide in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender Youth

ABSTRACTLesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth are a vulnerable population at high risk of suicide and, as such, benefit from an informed psychotherapeutic approach to treatment. While it is clear that sexual orientation and gender identity are independent dimensions from psychopathology, LGBT youth are frequently marginalized and may face unique challenges with self-acceptance and identification with peers, family, and society, increasing risk of social isolation, which in turn increases vulnerability to anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, and suicide. We elaborate on the common phenomenon of ambivalent repression of the sexual self in adolescents associated with intertwined themes frequently expressed in suicidal lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, and queer patients on the inpatient adolescent unit: anger directed toward internal and external objects; desire for self-punishment, atonement, and possibly rebirth; and desperation and desire to escape psychic pain. We enhance our discussion with case examples and practical therapeutic considerations that emerge from these themes that can be harnessed across treatment settings.

Fatores que influenciam a autogestão nos adolescentes com Diabetes Tipo 1

Background: There are 303 new known cases of children and adolescents (0-19) with type 1 diabetes in Portugal, only in the year 2014, and more than 79000 new cases worldwide in 2013. The incidence of this chronic condition is rising, and the technological and medical advances in the last years allow for the well-being of individuals who, in other conditions, would not have survived. Health interventions directed to the adolescent with type 1 diabetes aim to motivate and facilitate self -management transition from caregiver to self, having the specificity of the adolescents in mind. The caregiver plays an essential role in this transition. His control and support should not end abruptly at the beginning of the adolescence, but slowly become an orientation that respects the young person’s autonomy. Type 1 diabetes has always been a widely studied subject, and the interventions directed specifically to the adolescence period are one of the focus on recent papers.
 Methodology: This scoping review was carried out according to of the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual (2015). Initial search, including JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, CINAHL and MEDLINE, revealed there is not a scoping or a systematic review (published or in progress) about this subject. The objective of this review is to identify and map the knowledge about the self-management development process in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. It takes into account the perspectives of adolescents (aged 10-18) with type 1 diabetes and their parents/caregivers. It also includes the perspectives of health professionals and young adults (aged 18-25) with type 1 diabetes, where the participants are considered experts in their chronic condition.
 Results: Six main categories of factors considered as barriers or facilitators in the development process of self-management in adolescents with type 1 diabetes could be found: Adolescent Self; Family; School; Peers; Health Care and type 1 diabetes evolution/Health regimen. Interventions can be adopted by health professionals in order to surpass identified challenges to self -management. Further investigation is needed on the matter, and focus groups are recommended for adolescents, caregivers and young adults regarding this theme.

Meeting “Me”: Charles Dickens's Moments of Self-Encounter

Abstract In short stories and novels ranging from A Christmas Carol (1843) to Great Expectations (1860–61), Charles Dickens again and again reiterated close encounters between his fictional characters' adult and childhood selves. Turning to the journalistic context of The Uncommercial Traveller essays, this article identifies moments of self-encounter that are similar but staged between adult Dickens and avatars of his child or adolescent self. Drawing on research into media studies, temporality, and form, I argue that Dickens developed the new formal technology of the self-encounter in response to the pressure of his desire to connect personally with a mass audience, a cultural politics and marketing practice that Juliet John has termed “intimate publicity.” I propose a skeptical reading of Dickens's moments of self-encounter that finds evidence of the author's vexed approach to autobiographical form and a resulting pivot outward to his audience. Through a logical doublethink that sanctions the narrator's recognition of the child as simultaneously me and not me, these self-with-self-encounters create both ironic detachment and sentimental irony, while leaving the task of calibrating their tonal balance to the reader. Attending to these artful moments of self-encounter carries insight into the creation of Dickens's public persona and to the reception of his novels.

The Development of Self and Identity in Adolescence: Neural Evidence and Implications for a Value-Based Choice Perspective on Motivated Behavior.

Following a key developmental task of childhood-building a foundation of self-knowledge in the form of domain-specific self-concepts-adolescents begin to explore their emerging identities in ways that foster autonomy and connectedness. Neuroimaging studies of self-related processes demonstrate enhanced engagement of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in adolescence, which may facilitate and reflect the development of identity by integrating the value of potential actions and choices. Drawing from neuroeconomic and social cognitive accounts, we propose that motivated behavior during adolescence can be modeled by a general value-based decision-making process centered around value accumulation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. This approach advances models of adolescent neurodevelopment that focus on reward sensitivity and cognitive control by considering more diverse value inputs, including contributions of developing self- and identity-related processes. It also considers adolescent decision making and behavior from adolescents' point of view rather than adults' perspectives on what adolescents should value or how they should behave.

Assertive training and family psychological education therapy on adolescents self-esteem in prevention of drug use in boarding school

Adolescents are prone to use drugs when they have low self-esteem. Assertiveness training and family psychological education therapies are mental health nursing specialist interventions that are expected to increase adolescent self esteem so that adolescent has ability to prevent drug use. This study aims to determine the effect of assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy on adolescent self-esteem in the prevention of drug use in boarding schools. The research design was a quasi-experimental pre-post test with a control group. Sixty four adolescent students at the boarding school were selected using purposive sampling technique and cluster random sampling. The intervention group 1 only received general nursing intervention and the intervention group 2 received general nursing intervention, assertiveness training, and family psychological education therapy. The results showed that the self-esteem of adolescent students increased significantly after receiving nursing intervention and in the high self-esteem category (p = 0.017), after assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy, adolescent self-esteem in the intervention group 2 increased greater than only general nursing intervention ( P = 0, 000) with the high self-esteem category. There is the influence of assertiveness training and family psychological education therapy on adolescent self-esteem in prevention of drugs uses in a boarding school. Community health center is recommended to do nursing care in school through school health unit program either by primary care nurse or nurse specialist of mental health nursing.

The Dynamics of Relations between Ideal and Real Self of Primary School Children and Adolescents in the Context of their Personal Efficiency

The article analyzes the research of the real and ideal self-images of pupils having different levels of personal effectiveness at the time of their transition from primary school age to adolescence. There are five category groups with which pupils describe the “successful pupil” image: generalized characteristics; acting and behavioural characteristics; personality traits (this category can be divided into two subgroups: 1) a person as a learning agent, the treats important for learning activity implementation; 2) a person's traits characterizing him/her as a human being); relationships with other people, other characteristics. The ideal self-image peculiarities are determined and compared, in dynamics, with real self-images of 3rd-6th grade pupils depending on their personal effectiveness. The research results give grounds to assert that the self-knowledge of primary schoolchildren has the form of self-perception and self-observation that are basis for creation of ideas about themselves; such ideas consist mostly of single images in specific situations. In contrast, at the beginning of adolescence, self-study and self-reflection become very important, which is a prerequisite for holistic, generalized self-image formation.

Mentalizacijos paauglystėje raida ir sutrikimai

Paauglystė – tai laikotarpis, kai vyksta itin daug pokyčių, ypač svarbių socialiniam pažinimui. Tai nulemia vis geresnį paauglių savęs įsisąmoninimą (Harter, 2012). Todėl šiuo laikotarpiu labai svarbus tampa besivystantis mentalizacijos gebėjimas, užtikrinantis savo ir kitų elgesio supratimą psichikos būsenų kontekste (Fonagy, Gergely, Jurist, & Target, 2005). Nors neabejojama paauglystės laikotarpio svarba įtvirtinant mentalizacijos gebėjimą, vis dar stokojama nuoseklios mentalizacijos raidos paauglystėje analizės. Šiame straipsnyje* siekiama užpildyti esamą spragą ir, remiantis psichodinamine, raidos psichologijos, raidos psichopatologijos bei neuromokslo teorine ir empirine medžiaga, analizuoti mentalizacijos gebėjimo raidą paauglystėje, pagrindinį dėmesį skiriant paauglystėje svarbiausioms poliariškoms mentalizacijos konstrukto dimensijoms – emocinei ir kognityviai bei savęs ir kito mentalizacijai, taip pat mentalizacijos sutrikimo sąsajai su psichopatologija.

The Impact of Teaching Environment on Adolescent Self – esteem Formation

For teacher who is seeking to implement modern educational goals, it is important to create prosperity educational and learning environments, which were not relevant to the traditional paradigm. The learning environment is one of the most important factors influencing the successful formation of student self-esteem, their self – expression and creative autonomy. The concept of learning environment includes - the school’s tradition, domestic regulations, pupil and teacher relationship, the psychological climate, school management and teacher’s work style. It is typical for the autocratic teacher work style to stereotype and depersonalise the pupils, this weakens the students’ self-esteem. Meanwhile, the democratic procedure, learner’s participation in decision making, respectful relationship, honesty and self-discipline promotes learner’s self-confidence and enhances self-esteem. Well organised learning environment is a good atmosphere to motivate pupils and encourages them to become a proactive, independent and responsible person.

Reframing the Self(ie)

Based on developmental psychology, youth ministry has often regarded the adolescent self in terms of a search for identity. The selfie demonstrates this psychosocial attempt to discover one’s self and receive affirmation for it. While developmental theory is helpful and relevant for youth ministry, theology offers a more desirable foundation on which to build youth ministry practices. Thomas Merton’s theological understanding of the self addresses this dilemma, whereby the self finds the adolescent. This perspective can help us reframe youth ministry’s assumptions based on developmental psychology, which regard the adolescent’s task as self-discovery. As James Loder describes, the inner self emerges through God’s transformation. This is an issue of reordering of theology and psychology. For adolescents to position themselves to receive this inner transformation, Christian ministry with young people can effectively facilitate a posture of prayer whereby God can affect the transformation of the deepest sense of the self.

Percepciones de autoevaluación: Autoestima, autoeficacia y satisfacción vital en la adolescencia

Resumen: En este estudio se analizan las relaciones entre tres variables relativas a la autoevaluación como son la autoestima, la autoeficacia y la satisfacción vital, así como sus tendencias evolutivas y las diferencias de género en una muestra de 2400 adolescentes con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años pertenecientes a 20 centros educativos de Andalucía Occidental. Por otro lado, se presentan las relaciones de estas tres variables con el estilo educativo parental. Los resultados indicaron correlaciones significativas entre las variables de autoevaluación, así como con las dimensiones del estilo parental. Concretamente, los niveles de afecto-comunicación y el sentido del humor de madres y padres fueron aspectos que se relacionaron de forma muy significativa con la autoevaluación adolescente. Por otra parte, aparecieron importantes diferencias de género en las trayectorias que la autoestima, la autoeficacia y la satisfacción vital siguen durante la adolescencia, ya que mientras que en los chicos se observaron pocos cambios, en las chicas la tendencia fue descendente, de forma que las adolescentes de más edad mostraron las autovaloraciones más bajas. Adolescents own perceptions of self-evaluation: Self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction Abstract: In this study we analyse the relationships between three variables of self-evaluations, being self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction. Moreover, we study the evolution of these three aspects during adolescence paying attention to gender differences. The sample was made up of 2400 teenagers aged between 12 and 17 years old taken from 20 high schools in Western Andalusia. In this study we also analyse the relationship between teenager self evaluation and parenting style. Our results show, on one hand, high correlation between self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction, and on the other hand, between teenager self evaluation and parenting style. In fact, parental warmth and communication and sense of humor show high correlation with adolescent self evaluation. We also found increasing differences between boys and girls as regards their self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction as adolescence progressed. Specifically, little changed was observed in boys, whereas girls’ self-evaluation decreased with age.

EMOTION REGULATION AS A PREDICTOR OF JUVENILE ARREST.

The current study examines emotion regulation as a novel dynamic factor of juvenile arrest as it compares with known static and dynamic risk factors. Participants included seventh graders at five urban public schools (N = 420, M age = 13, 53% male). The predictive relationship between adolescent self-, parent-, and teacher-report of baseline adolescent emotional competence and arrest at 30-month follow-up was assessed. Stepwise logistic regression analyses revealed that teacher report of emotion regulation strategies, minority status, and lifetime marijuana use were significant predictors of arrest. Findings indicate teacher report of emotion regulation competence in early adolescence may be an important consideration for prevention program development.

Nostalgia Negra, and: Inventing a Lineage on the Day My Mother’s Mother Is Buried

Nostalgia Negra, and: Inventing a Lineage on the Day My Mother’s Mother Is Buried Lauren K. Alleyne (bio) NOSTALGIA NEGRA How easily it happens, the slide into your adolescent self: at a party the music romps through the air and you’re standing there, drinking a beer, the beat unwinding you. The first boy (no, these are men) comes by, sweeps the pretty blonde onto the floor; next the willowy hippie with her sideways smile. The other girl refuses the two men who try to pull her onto the floor— I don’t like bachata, she says, flits away. You swallow more beer, and the words I do! They go away, disappointed. For hours and beers, you smile and small talk with your friend who buys you another beer, and then takes the pretty blonde out for a spin. Everyone melts into the music and each other, a tangle of arms, sweeps of legs, and face it, you know your abandon —sweaty, unmuscled, thick and black— has no legible beauty. It jiggles. It is the opposite of lithe. It lacks grace. The dance is light and swirl and lift and everything you are is too wide, too heavy to be held. You have learned this lesson before. You’re still learning not to care. [End Page 98] INVENTING A LINEAGE ON THE DAY MY MOTHER’S MOTHER IS BURIED For my mother, 2/4/16 Today I am conjuring my mother a mother. She has long fingers & thin wrists like my mother does, a wicked right hand—in spanking & cricket—it’s genetic. When my mother was only a meager armful of howl & flail, my mother’s conjured mother would pick up her baby girl, trace hieroglyphs with her lips into her infant daughter’s skin, so when my mother has me twenty-eight years later, she does the same thing, the memory etched deep into her. My mother’s imagined mother would not be perfect, of course, but she’d be pretty close. There’d be bright-lit birthdays, Polaroid-captured Christmases; quiet afternoons she spent teaching my mother, her hand wrapped around her daughter’s, curling the letters of her name. When my mother says like this, & shows me her perfect cursive flourish three decades later, she can say your granny taught me how to write my name like this, too. My mother’s mother will have flaws, of course, small ones: her rice is too sappy; she makes my mother drink bush tea when she doesn’t want to; she picks fights when she’s tired; she isn’t very good at budgeting, & is too proud for her own good. When my mother visits me she’d say you are just like your grandmother. I’d groan & roll my eyes & know she means I fuss too much: I wouldn’t mind. When my mother’s mother dies, this imagined version of her, anyway, the Monday isn’t like any other with school and bills— I don’t forget it happened; my mother isn’t wondering if now that she’s really an orphan she’ll feel more or less abandoned, illegitimate, mistake-made-flesh. A punishment. [End Page 99] The mother I write my mother is worthy of mourning; when her heart stills, the grief cuts generations deep, severing us from something—call it memory, call it love. My mother is gone, my mother would say of her, & a whole, real history would unfurl to comfort her. I’d kiss her brow, close my fingers around hers, & by God, we’d feel something.
