General and distinct correspondence between personality disorder and interpersonal functioning

The alternative model of personality disorders (AMPD) in DSM-5 includes interpersonal dysfunction as a core construct as a global severity dimension. However, it is less known how various interpersonal characteristics contribute to both general and distinct dimensions of personality dysfunction. In participants from community sources, we obtained responses to Levels of Personality Functioning Scale-Self Report (LPFS-SR), maladaptive traits (PID-5-BF), and social relationship patterns, including those related to close relationships and quantitative measures of network size. Canonical correlation analysis mapped conjoint associations between two sets of variables (personality scales and social relationship) and identified three distinct modes of correlation as significant. The first canonical pattern represented global dysfunction and was associated with utilitarianism, short-termed, weaker strengths, and smaller network sizes. The second canonical correlation represented externalizing traits and was associated with a larger number of relationships, higher utilitarianism, and short-term relationships with a close significant other. The third canonical correlation represented a detached, unemotional, and callous personality which corresponded with weaker relationship strength with both the mother and a close significant other. Our findings suggest that interpersonal functioning corresponding to personality dysfunction can be distinguished into both common and specific characteristics and further highlight the importance of characterizing distinct patterns within close relationships.

Professional's Views on the 'Nordic Paradox' in a Low Intimate Partner Violence Prevalence Country.

The apparently contradictory co-existence of high levels of gender equality and intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) found in Nordic countries has been termed the Nordic Paradox. The aim of this study was to examine how the Nordic Paradox is discussed and explained by Spanish professionals working in the IPVAW field. Five focus groups (n = 19) and interviews with key informants (n = 10) were conducted. Four main categories of possible explanations for the Nordic Paradox were identified: Macro-micro disconnect (i.e., discordance between individual beliefs and behaviors and macro-social norms of gender equality), IPVAW as multicausal (i.e., IPVAW defined as a multicausal phenomenon that does not necessarily have to be associated with gender equality), cultural patterns of social relationships (i.e., the role of social relationships and the way people relate to each other in the Nordic countries), and backlash effect (i.e., men's reaction to greater equality for women). Although this study does not provide a final explanation for the Nordic paradox, its results provide us with a better understanding of the phenomenon and can help to advance research in this field.

Memahami Dampak Media Sosial terhadap Komunikasi Interpersonal: Pendekatan Teori Komunikasi

The use of social reality construction theory as an addition to social exchange theory is a significant step towards understanding more deeply the impact of social media on interpersonal communication. Social reality construction theory offers a powerful perspective on how social media can shape individuals' perceptions of the reality around them. In this research, the literature method is used with a focus on reviewing and analyzing literature related to the impact of social media on interpersonal communication. The research aims to conduct a critical review of interpersonal communication theory and analyze how this theory has implications for social relationships in the digital era. This research shows that overall, changes in patterns of social relations that arise as a result of social media can be understood through the lens of social exchange theory. Social media provides a platform for information exchange, support, and social interaction, however, the impact is the emergence of dynamics that can sometimes sacrifice the depth and quality of traditional interpersonal relationships.

Perichoresis and the Theology of Solidarity: A Foundation of Social Cohesion for Christian Millennials in Indonesia

Shifting patterns of social relations among millennials due to the use of social media in networks without a theological basis for social cohesion is a challenge for Christianity now and in the future. The nature and work of the Triune God as stated in the Bible should always be relevant in various challenges of the times. Research on the theological foundations that form the basis of social cohesion among millennials is still very limited. Social cohesion among millennials tends to be limited to the use of social media in cyberspace as is characteristic of millennials in Indonesia. An important question that must be answered by the Christian faith is what the theological basis for social cohesion is, especially among youth so that Christian millennials can maintain their faith properly in social cohesion among them. This article aims to demonstrate the relational Nature of the Trinity and His work as the basis for the solidarity of believers. The first part of this article will examine the essence of perichoresis in the Trinity and the theology of solidarity. The second part demonstrates the theology of God’s solidarity in the story of creation and for Israel in the Old Testament. The third part seeks is to analyze God's solidarity in the person and work of Jesus Christ. The fourth part demonstrates God’s solidarity among believers in the New Testament. The fifth part aims to analyze the theology of solidarity for especially millennials in Indonesia, This is followed by a conclusion which hopefully encapsulates the notions expressed.

Analisis Pengaruh Teknik Digital dalam Interaksi Sosial dalam Era Digital

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital techniques on social interaction in the digital era. In an era where information and communication technology is increasingly dominating everyday life, the development of digital techniques has had a significant impact on the way we interact and relate socially. First, this study will discuss the influence of digital techniques on interpersonal communication. Digital technology has changed the way we communicate with others.

DINAMIKA TAFSIR NUSANTARA

Interpretation of the archipelago is a manifestation of the assessment of the Qur'an by Nusantara scholars. The emergence of tafsir al-Qur'an in the archipelago cannot be separated from the process of evaluating and writing it down as part of the Ulama' efforts to understand and spread Islamic teachings. In this context, locality also colors various nuances of interpretation of the Qur'an, both in terms of interpreting the Qur'an in prayer rooms, mosques and Islamic boarding schools or in writing interpretations using local symbols in shapes such as pegon or Latin. In another aspect, the contribution of the influence of Middle Eastern Ulama influenced many Indonesian Ulama who made a genealogy of thoughts that shaped different tendencies in each season. The locality of Nusantara tafsir has different tendencies in each period. The dynamics of methods and approaches seem to encounter an anti-climax in the contemporary period with social-community nuances. The pattern of social relations between religious communities becomes the centrality in the thematic discussion of the verses of kafir, ahl al-kitab and non-Muslims which at first glance is a concept of the pattern of relations between Muslims and non-Muslims in theological and social aspects

Maternal Investment Fosters Male but Not Female Social Interactions with Other Group Members in Immature Wild Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi).

In several species, individuals form long-lasting social relationships with other group members, which provide them with important fitness benefits. In primates, patterns of social relationships are known to differ between sexes, but little is known about how these differences emerge through development or the role that mothers might have in this process. Here, we investigated how sex differences in social behaviour emerge during the first six years of primate life and how sex-biased maternal investment can foster immatures' social development and social interaction with other group members. For this purpose, we observed 20 males and females aged between zero and six years in a wild group of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) that was male-philopatric and, therefore, expected to show sex-biased maternal investment. Our results showed no sex difference in the social development of offspring with regards to body contact and grooming, but the probability of play was rather constant throughout age for females, whereas, for males, it became higher than females around two years of age, peaking between three and four years of age. Moreover, we found differences between female and male immatures in the importance of maternal investment (which included the time mothers spent nursing, carrying, grooming, touching and playing with their offspring) for their social integration in the natal group. In particular, maternal investment increased the probability of playing with other group members for sons, but not for daughters. Our findings suggest that mothers, through sex-biased maternal investment, might have a crucial function in the social development of spider monkeys, fostering the abilities that young offspring need to thrive as adults. By shedding light on maternal investment and social development in a still understudied primate species, these findings contribute to understanding the evolutionary roots of human maternal care and social development.

Pola Komunikasi di Media Sosial dan Dampaknya terhadap Hubungan Sosial antar Perguruan Pencak Silat di Madiun

Communication is essential not only in personal communication but also in organizational and group contexts. Organizational communication occurs vertically, horizontally, and across channels. The Paguyuban Kampung Pesilat in Madiun is a way to build social ties. It has been approved by 14 pencak silat colleges in the city and supported by the government and TNI/POLRI security forces. Pencak silat is one of the nation's cultural treasures that must be preserved. Even pencak silat itself has contributed to the process of Indonesian independence. This research aims to: (1). what is the communication pattern on social media towards social relations between martial arts colleges? (2). what is the impact of social relations between martial arts colleges on social media and in the real world? This research aims to find out the communication patterns of social relations between martial arts colleges on social media. The research methodology used is a qualitative explanation which aims to explain the position of the variables studied and the relationship between one variable and another. In contrast, the data collection techniques used are interviews, document studies, observations and literature studies. The theory used is the theory of organizational communication Horrison and Doerfel, Persuasive Communication and S-O-R Theory Studies. It can be said through the theory's assumption that "Communication is a key variable that makes it possible to build relationships in an organization and interact and share information". The results of this study indicate that organizational communication has a vital role in improving social relations between martial arts colleges in Dimadiun. The pattern of organizational communication towards martial arts colleges in Madiun is the formation of a paguyuban kampung pesilat as a place to improve social relations and efforts to overcome conflicts that continue to occur every year.

Changes in Society Social Relationship Patterns (Case Study on the Dayak Ribun Community around Parindu Sanggau Oil Palm Plantation, West Kalimantan)

After the oil palm plantation project, the development of the Parindu sub-district increased rapidly. Many residents both from West Kalimantan and outside the region are encouraged to come to the area to work and settle in the area. This study aims to explain socio-cultural contacts and habits in everyday life that have increased and changed patterns of social relations. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques based on interviews and observations and analyzed using qualitative analysis. The findings show that oil palm plantations have driven social change in terms of community social status, social relations and lifestyle. Social changes related to social status are characterized by career changes. This can be caused by different work profiles and job opportunities. Social changes in the aspect of social relations are marked by changes in the pattern of simple regional relations which result in complex relationships that span across village boundaries.

Nurturing Inherent Nobility: Insights on Human Dignity from a Bahá’í Perspective

The Bahá’í Faith is an important case for a discussion on dignity, religion and human rights. Beyond the notions of dignity enshrined in its basic teachings, a core concern of the Bahá’í community is how to build dignity into the pattern of social relations of an emerging global civilization. The oneness of humanity is the core principle around which all Bahá’í teachings revolve, and within this principle is enshrined not only the inherent, God-given nobility and dignity of every individual but also the responsibility of creating new patterns of social relations, forms of community, processes of education, and structures of institutional authority that consciously strive to create a global polity that protects and affirms the dignity of all humans, in all of their diversity. In this paper, we examine the foundations of human dignity in the Bahá’í Faith in four parts. First, we explore the use of the term “dignity” in Bahá’í sacred texts and its relationship to the concepts of “nobility" and “rights”. Second, we examine how Bahá’ís seek to put into practice their conception of dignity through a democratic system of global governance, grounded in processes of consultative deliberation, referred to as the Bahá’í Administrative Order. Third, we highlight how the Bahá’í community is seeking to cultivate conditions of dignity in its current educational endeavours, which seeks to contribute to the betterment of local communities throughout the world. Fourth, we explore the ongoing and centuries-long persecution of the Bahá’ís in Iran to understand the implications of dignity in responding to oppression.

Doing kin work among Ghanaians home and abroad: A paradigm shift toICT

AbstractObjectiveWe explore how information communication technologies (ICTs) enable doing kin work through communication and its impact on the well‐being of Ghanaians at home and abroad.BackgroundUsing ICTs has become a significant and rapid way to keep in touch with family relations as they are “scattered” across different geographic spaces within a country and globally. In this digital age, families can choose from a wide range of options that allows the combination of textual, verbal, and visual interactions.MethodThis paper is based on observations, in‐depth interviews, and life stories collected over a cumulative fieldwork period of 28 months. A total of 40 Ghanaians living in the Netherlands and 30 living in Ghana were recruited from 2017 to 2019 for this study.ResultsThrough smartphones or messenger apps, people share their life and provide care and support including financial, emotional, moral, personal, and communal attachment.ConclusionDoing family online involves a complex, open, and hidden system of support, care, anxiety, and empathy. Doing family online is an example of a social matrix in which new patterns of social relationships, intimacies, care, and intergenerational solidarities emerge and develop.ImplicationsWe propose that doing family online will remain an integral means of connecting with family members and other relations. It is therefore important that ICT is made affordable, reliable, and secure as a way to improve its use. This means that more innovation, development, and research would be required.

The impact of social-relationship patterns on worsening mental health among the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from Hungary

Evidence indicates the coronavirus pandemic has severely affected the oldest age group: in Hungary 92.7 per cent of those who died due to COVID-19 infection were 60 years of age or older. The age structure of the deceased was very similar in other countries. As, due to their underlying health status, elderly people are more vulnerable to the serious diseases caused by the coronavirus, strict government restrictions were introduced worldwide to protect them when the epidemic broke out. However, this social isolation can cause severe psychological and emotional strain. The study aim was to examine how patterns of social relationships were related to changes in mental health of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic in Hungary. We used the database of SHARE COVID-19 for our analysis. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were conducted. Findings of this study suggest that the network lacking contacts increases the severity of depression, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and loneliness the most among the elderly. Interestingly, the group with an intense close-knit network had a higher risk of worsening mental symptoms compared to multiple contact actives. Moreover, electronic communication – telephone, Skype – did not help either: there was a particularly high probability of worsening depression in this group. Another interesting result is that both in the group dominated by family contacts and among those with multiple relationships, the chances of worsening mental symptoms were lower, thus, personal contact – whether they include family members or other acquaintances – is truly protective. Results demonstrate that both the network characterised by lack of contact network and electronic contact activity contribute to greater risk of worsening mental health within elderly. A network pattern characterised by various types and forms of contacts is the most beneficial to mental health, and intensive contacts of limited scope alone are not sufficient to protect mental health.

DRIVING THE MINORITY AND MAJORITY INTERRELIGIOUS RELATIONS IN BALI

This study aims to determine the various factors that shape the harmonious relationship between Muslims and Hindus in Bali. The locus of this research is Jimbaran Village, South Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali Province. This study uses a qualitative research methodology with a narrative descriptive analysis approach and is included in the type of literature study research. The results of this study indicate that the pattern of social relations between Muslims and Hindus in Bali is not only formed based on the understanding of their respective religious teachings, but it can also be shaped by customs in Balinese society and shaped by several factors that influence it. Five factors shape the harmonization of social relations between Muslims and Hindus in Bali, including the conflicts between Muslims and Hindus in Bali, the competition between Muslims and Hindus in Bali, and adjustments made by Muslims to Hindus in Bali, tolerance and cooperation among Muslims in Bali.

COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND LONELINESS AMONG OLDER ADULTS: DYNAMICS OF SOCIAL NETWORK AND PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT

Abstract As cognitive reserves diminish with age, older adults become aware of age-related losses and allocate their resources accordingly. Drawing on the selective optimization with compensation and socioemotional selectivity theory, older adults may select emotionally close social relationships to manage emotional distress caused by deterioration in cognitive functions. This study investigates whether different levels of cognitive functions [no impairment (NI), cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND), and dementia] influence the degree of loneliness among older adults, and how heterogeneous patterns of social relations affect this association. We used data from the 2018 Health and Retirement study, which included 4,500 respondents over 51 years of age who completed a modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status. Using comprehensive social-relational indicators for the structure and quality of four relational sources (spouse or partner, children, family, and friends), we applied latent class analysis and identified five subgroups of social relations: restricted–limited support (Nf190, 4.22%), family and friends focused–ambivalent (Nf1,252, 27.82%), diverse–positive (Nf2,203, 48.96%), negative (Nf500, 11.11%), and spouse focused–ambivalent (Nf355, 7.89%). Hierarchical regression showed that those in the CIND (p < .032) and dementia group (p < .037) were more likely to experience loneliness than those in the NI group, and those with dementia who were in the category of spouse focused–ambivalent support (p < .001) had relatively lower levels of loneliness. Reliance on spousal support may be due to people selecting and adapting increasingly on closer relations to counter their vulnerability and feel less lonely. Interventions to sustain this core relationship should be encouraged, including spousal-caregiving relief programs.

Muslim Intellectuals’ Insights and Their Contributions to the Development of Alternative Social Science in the Malay-Indonesian Context

This article aims to examine the interaction between social science and tradition in Malay-Indonesian scholarship, with a particular focus on the perspectives of Muslim intellectuals. This interaction is represented by two approaches: autonomous social science and prophetic social science. The article argues that both approaches have their distinct inclinations in perceiving and formulating theoretical foundations. These inclinations are shaped by their unique qualities, alternative values, intellectual stances, and thinking styles. Moreover, during the process of development, they are influenced by various factors that give them their distinct characteristics, such as autonomy, a problem-based approach, and a strong commitment to rethinking society and driving change and transformation. The social concept of Islam Nusantara represents this development. It is a collection of arguments and practices of Islam adopted by Muslims in Nusantara, which have shaped patterns of social relations and cohesiveness through communicative actions throughout a specific historical epoch in the region. The article also highlights two essential factors that significantly shape these approaches: the dominant schools of thought in social science and the peculiar Malay-Indonesian traditions. While Western social sciences have played a central role in understanding certain concepts, Malay-Indonesian traditions have contributed significantly to shaping the paradigm of local scholars.

Analysis of Social Care Character Development in Islamic Religious Education Courses

The development of an increasingly modern era, on the one hand, progresses in various aspects of human life, but on the other hand also brings to the character and identity of the Indonesian nation, the waning of a sense of caring and social solidarity. Now egocentrism in the pattern of social relations in Indonesian society is increasingly visible, namely behavior that focuses on one's own welfare or gain at the expense of and at the expense of others. The development of social care characters must continue to be carried out, especially now that people's lives are increasingly difficult, the poverty gap is widening, and the crime rate is getting higher. Judging from the religious aspect, the attitude of social care will get 3 things, namely first, the road of sustenance becomes wide and open; second, being more sensitive to the life around us; third, get a reward. This study is a descriptive study to see the extent to which the development of social care characters in PAI courses. The data collection technique is using a questionnaire. The research was conducted in several departments at Medan State University in the even semester of the 2021-2022 Academic Year. This study resulted in the following findings: 1. the development of social care characters in PAI courses has only reached aspects of knowledge (cognitive) and attitudes (attitudes). This can be seen from the development of social care characters in both aspects which are already in the good category. 2. The development of social care characters from the behavioral aspect (behavior) in PAI courses is still in the poor category, for that it is necessary to design various social action tasks in the community that are carried out by students so that they will get a very meaningful experience.
