Knowledge, attitude and psychological impact of cyberbullying among adolescents. A cross-sectional study.

To identify the awareness, behaviour and psychological impact of cyberbullying among adolescent. A Cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted on secondary school students from grades 9-12th. The study got approval from the Institutional Research Board. The Inclusion criterion was school students of all nationalities who were willing to participate. Signed informed consent signed was taken. We used a P value of < 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval (CI). Out of 513 enrolled, 450 completed the survey (response rate 87.7%). Age ranged between 13 to 20 years of them 303 (67.3%) were female. Awareness of cyberbullying was 96.2%. The prevalence of cyberbullying among adolescence was 22.2% (95% CI: 18.89-26.93). 42% of Victims reported cyberbully event leading to stoppage in 78.6% of cases. Most of the victims reported to their parents followed by friends then cyber helpline or Police. Characteristics of perpetrators were males, below-average academic performance and social relations, from same batch, and had emotionally unstable personalities. Association of being a victim does not relate to their Age, gender, grade, or parent's education but relate to their nationality (P < 0.001) and being younger siblings (P < 0.027). Association between event reporting and gender was not significant (P < 0.859). Association between worsening social relationships (teachers and parents) (P < 0.001), feeling neglected (P < 0.001), personality type (agreeableness and emotional instability) (P < 0.016) and being a Cyberbully victim was statistically significant. Association of depression and anxiety with being a cyberbully victim was statistically significant (P < 0.001) and directly proportional to the severity. High rate of awareness and Low prevalence of cyberbullying was found among adolescence. High risk of psychological problems was reported and a good social relationship (teachers and parents) was an important protective factor from it.

Transformation of the Competencies of Students of a Pedagogical University in the Process of Organizing Professional and Mobile Practice

To the problem statement. The article deals with the problem of training profes-sional and pedagogical personnel, which does not meet the modern requirements of professional ed-ucation of future teachers, who are called upon to teach students of the secondary vocational educa-tion system after graduating from a vocational pedagogical university. The basis of this problem is the duality of the content of the activity of teachers, who need to possess not only psychological and pedagogical competencies, but also to master the experience of professional activity in working specialties. This requires a comprehensive transformation of the psychological, pedagogical and professional production competencies of the future teacher of the vocational education system. The purpose of the article is to show that in a professionally oriented environment, the trans-formation of competencies, the complex professional and personal formation of the future teacher of the secondary vocational education system (SPE) is more successfully carried out. The author of the article suggests a solution to this problem through the organization of an industrial practice, which he modernizes as a professionally mobile practice. R. H. Iskhakov argues that the professional personal quality formed in the conditions of this type of practice as professional mobility will contribute to the transformation of the psychological, pedagogical and professional production competencies of the future teacher of the vocational education system. Professional mobility is becoming one of the key conditions for the transformation of the competencies of a future teacher of vocational education. The author of the article presents the basic concepts of transformation and professional mobility at a sufficient and necessary level in the context of the article. The article has scientific and methodological significance, as it presents the methodology of organizing professional and mobile practice. Not only types of practices are presented. but also elective courses that students master before starting the practice itself. Successful organization of professional and mobile practice is possible on the basis of a dual approach to the organization of training – mutual cooperation between representatives of the university and educational organizations of vocational education, on the basis of which the above–mentioned practice of students of a vocational pedagogical university is conducted. In this collaboration, the important role of the master mentor is defined. This concept has been tested in the context of scientific research, the results of which the au-thor presented in the article. The level of formation of professional mobility among students in the conditions of scientific research will be determined by integral criteria: communicative, research competence and adaptability Conclusion. The professional development of a modern teacher largely depends on professional mobility, adaptability, the need for self-improvement, readiness and ability to master new competencies, which is due to rapid changes in personal and professional qualities and types of activity.

Investigating the relationship between personality types and resilience in pregnant women. A cross-sectional study

BackgroundChildbirth is considered a critical experience in a woman's life when she needs mental adaptation and reorganization of relationships. Factors such as personality and self-perception can help facing and solving crises. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality types and stress resilience among pregnant women. MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study on 210 multiparous and nulliparous pregnant women who were 32–37 weeks pregnant and referred to Shiraz medical hospitals for delivery selected via convenience sampling. Data collection tools were personal and midwifery information questionnaires and the Goldberg personality and visual pain assessment scale that were completed through interviews. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software using descriptive tests to describe the data and the Pearson correlation test to analyze the data. ResultsThe highest personality type was conscientiousness (48.1%) and the lowest was extraversion (2.4%). Maternal resilience had a significant positive relationship with extraversion (p=.001) and conscientiousness (p=.001). There was no significant relationship between the 2 variables of neuroticism and maternal resilience (p=.12). There was a significant positive relationship between the 2 variables of openness to experience and maternal resilience (p=.005). ConclusionWomen's healthcare providers can help to mitigate the negative effects of psychological distress, and psychologically empower this vulnerable group by considering the resilience and personality type of pregnant women during prenatal care.

USE OF TECHNOLOGIES OF HIGHER NERVOUS ACTIVITY AND PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL HUMAN FUNCTIONS STUDYING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS

Applied techniques and some results of studies the higher nervous activity (HNA) of the people, their psychophysiological functions (PFF) by Ukrainian scientists and doctors were described, as well as influences of extreme conditions on HNA. Aim. Results of the influence of extreme mountain conditions at high altitudes (hypoxia, etc.) demonstration and further research of changes in the psychophysiological functions of the brain under these conditions; description of the developed methods of professional selection. Methods. Comparative analysis of a large number of the data from experiments and observations. Physical, mathematical, program modeling. Methods of HNA, brain research: electroencephalography, diagnosis of personal neurodynamic features, etc. Three methods of PFF research: parameters of the neurodynamic level, parameters of the neuropsychological level, and personal specifics. The adapted questionnaire scheme (QS) based on Cattell's 16-factor personality tests was applied. Results. The influence of hypoxia and other factors of mountain conditions on HNA were studied deeply. The results were presented. Also, there were presented results of registered changes of EEG in such extreme conditions. The influence of a number of stress factors in extreme conditions (hypoxia, etc.) has been demonstrated. Some basic methods of HNA researches used in such conditions were described as well as results of investigations of individual typological features of the nervous systems were presented. Methods for human psychophysiological functions studying were described. Studies of human personal characteristics were described in details. Data recorded by the PNN-3 device were taken for the diagnosis of personal neurodynamic features. The parameters of the neuropsychological level were determined using the following methods: "triangles" (the level of development of short-term visual memory), "instrument scales" (working memory, attention functions, etc.), and "red and black tables" (allocation and switching of attention). Personality structures, features, and types of behavior of operators in stressful situations were estimated basing on adapted QS by Cattell. Mathematical models of the reliability of human nervous system functioning under extreme conditions were developed. Conclusions. The obtained results were taken as the basis for the developed professional selection methods for special contingents, pilots, operators, etc. Physical, mathematical, and program models of the reliability of the human nervous system functioning in these conditions were proposed.

Digital age imperatives and firm internal control quality: evidence from CEOs personal trait and type of state-owned enterprises

PurposeIn the context of an evolving digital-based global economy, this study aims to investige the impact of digital transformation (DT) on a firm’s internal control (IC) quality. It also explores how the personal traits of (CEOs) – such as age, gender and educational background – intersect with DT to shape the IC quality in various types of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the data from China A-shares non-financial enterprises, listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges between 2007 and 2020. Using the fixed effect regression method alongside various statistical techniques, such as propensity score matching, alternative analysis and instrumental variables analysis, yields robust findings. These methods effectively address issues related to functional form misspecification and potential biases from omitted explanatory variables.FindingsThe findings reveal a positive impact of DT on firm IC quality, and this impact is more pronounced in firms when the CEO is female, young and possesses a higher level of education. Notably, the study also distinguishes between central and local state-owned enterprises (SOEs), highlighting that DT has a greater influence on IC quality in central SOEs, where CEOs often have higher political ranks and closer to government monitoring. Overall, the findings are robust and consist to alternative variable and other statistical methods.Research limitations/implicationsFollowing are the significant implications for both academia and business. First, firms that effectively adopt DT to enhance IC not only gain a strategic advantage over competitors but also establish efficient risk management practices and a robust IC system. Second, better IC resulting from DT can enhance investor and stakeholder confidence. This is particularly important for publicly traded companies, where investors and analysts closely scrutinize the robustness of IC systems. Third, DT could result in cost savings over time, as automation and streamlined processes may reduce the need for manual efforts and resource-intensive tasks associated with IC.Originality/valueThe findings are contributed to the literature in multiple ways. It enhances our comprehension of the intricate DT-IC quality relationship, and provides valuable insights into the transformative impact of DT on organizational operations and risk management. It also introduces a novel perspective by investigating how CEOs personal traits intersect with DT to shape IC quality, contributing to upper echelons theory. Furthermore, it expands the discussions on firm ownership by considering the types of SOEs (central vs. local), in the DT-IC quality context.

Total, Between-, and Within-Item Attribute Person Fit Analysis Using Mokken Scaling Techniques: An Exploratory Nonparametric Approach to Person Fit

The purpose of this study was to consider how researchers can incorporate item attributes into nonparametric person fit analysis for the purpose of providing additional insight into person fit beyond what is available using typical total-scale person fit approaches. Inspired by parametric person fit statistics that consider patterns of residuals at the total-scale, between-item-attribute, and within-item-attribute levels, we proposed simple adaptations to standard Mokken Scale Analysis (MSA) person fit analysis techniques to reflect these three levels of person fit analysis. We demonstrated the technique using a secondary analysis of survey data related to learning motivation and considered how the results may be interpreted in an affective assessment context. We used a simple exploratory simulation study to consider the techniques under a wider range of conditions. Overall, the results suggested that it is possible to incorporate item attributes into MSA person fit analysis at the total-scale, between-item-attribute, and within-item attribute levels, and that each set of analyses provides a unique perspective on person fit.

Analysing the Mathematical Critical and Creative Thinking Abilities in Problem Solving Introverted Students

This study aims to evaluate the critical and creative thinking abilities in the context of mathematics when solving problems related to arithmetic sequences and series among introverted students in the 11th grade at Xaverius 1 High School in Jambi City. This issue arises due to differences in thinking skills and cognitive processes among students based on personality types, where it was found that introverted students tend to have low mathematical critical and creative thinking abilities. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through personality questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Research subjects were selected from introverted students based on personality questionnaire results and answer sheet analysis, with three students representing the various response groups. The results of this study indicate that introverted students demonstrate good mathematical critical thinking skills in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans. However, they tend to overlook rechecking their solutions. The creative mathematical thinking abilities of introverted students mainly involve fluency and flexibility in understanding problems, planning, and implementing plans, although they lack in terms of originality and elaboration in problem-solving

Association between personality type and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in patients with atrial fibrillation

BackgroundAtrial Fibrillation (AF) is known to be associated with a negative emotional state. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are important tools for evaluating the endpoints of AF management. This study aims to examine the correlation between personality types and PROs in patients with AF.MethodsAll included subjects were newly diagnosed with AF fewer than one month, and their personality types were assessed using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Quality of life (QoL) was measured using the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) questionnaire. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the General Anxiety Scale (GAD-7) and the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively. We constructed stepwise linear regression analyses for factors related to the QoL and emotional state in patients with AF.ResultsA total of 531 AF patients completed the survey and were categorized into four groups based on their personality types. Of these patients (mean age: 67.12 ± 10.93 years, 50.28% male), 357 (67.23%) had paroxysmal AF, and 16.95% (n = 90) had a sanguine personality. Compared to patients with other personality types, those with a sanguine personality had the highest average AFEQT scores (P < 0.001) and the lowest scores of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scales (P < 0.05). Furthermore, multiple linear regression analyses suggested that sanguine personality was also independently associated with better QoL and emotional states (P < 0.05).ConclusionThere is a significant association between the personality types and PROs in AF patients.

Personality matters – The interplay between consistent individual differences and mouse welfare in female C57BL6/J mice

To ensure good welfare of animals in human hands, it is essential to modify housing conditions according to the animals’ needs. Traditionally, the effects of such modifications are studied by means of group-level comparisons, thereby widely neglecting consistent inter-individual differences (i.e., so-called ‘animal personalities’). However, as animals with distinct personality types might differ in their environmental needs and hence react differently to the same environment, such systematic inter-individual differences might have important welfare consequences. This becomes particularly apparent under laboratory conditions, where animals are typically housed under highly standardized and barren environments. Against this background, we here aim to investigate personality-dependent welfare consequences in response to different housing conditions in laboratory mice. Female C57BL/6J mice were characterized for their personality type in exploration behavior and the most and the least explorative individuals were set up in either simple or in highly complex housing conditions that included constantly changing environmental enrichment items. We monitored individual welfare by studying behavioral, physiological, and immunological outcome measures. Besides personality-dependent differences in immune parameters and overall improved welfare under complex housing conditions, we indeed found hints that individual mice were differently affected in their welfare depending on the specific combination of personality type and housing condition. Specifically, highly explorative mice appeared to be more adversely affected by simple housing, but also profited more from complex housing compared to low explorative mice. These findings indicate that welfare promoting adjustments do not necessarily benefit all individuals equally and therefore, call for a shift of perspectives in the evaluation of animal welfare.

Correlation between Big Five Personality and Workplace Attitude in People in Research and Manufacturing Sector

Studies have shown a correlation between neuroticism and aggressive behaviors. In this study, we use data collected from employees working in the manufacturing and research sector to form associations between big-five personalities and aggressive workplace behavior. A correlation was established between personality (neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, extraversion, and conscientiousness) and aggression (physical aggression, anger, verbal aggression, and hostility). Additionally, the study also examines any correlation between aggression and participant’s motives (need for power, need for achievement, and need for security). The sample consists of 47 participants from a research and manufacturing unit of India. B5T was used to measure the big five personality aspects and a brief aggression questionnaire was used to measure four aspects of aggression. Using the Pearson Correlation, a statistically significant positive correlation was established between neuroticism and two subsets of aggression—anger and hostility. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between openness to new experiences and physical aggression, another subset of aggression. This result was not supported by the existing literature. Thus, more research is needed to examine this link. Interestingly, this paper found no statistically significant negative correlation between aggression and agreeableness that is well documented in other studies. Moreover, no significant correlation between people’s motivations and behavior was found. A workplace can employ the use of these results to see which personality type would best benefit from which kind of aggressive intervention. Hence, they can help provide a more targeted intervention for aggressive behavior in the workplace.

Enhancing MBTI Personality Prediction from Text Data with Advance Word Embedding Technique.

Understanding human personality traits is crucial for various domains, including psychology, education, and human resources. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a widely recognized psychological assessment tool, categorizing individuals into one of sixteen distinct personality types. The existing methodologies, which primarily relied on Word2Vec embeddings and traditional machine learning models, showed promise but left room for improvement. To address this problem, this research focused on enhancing Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality prediction from text data through advanced word-embedding techniques, specifically GloVe and BERT. The research investigates the effectiveness of various Machine Learning Classifiers, including Random Forest, XGBoost, LinearSVC, SGD, Logistic Regression, and CatBoost, in predicting MBTI personality types. Additionally, the impact of preprocessing techniques such as text cleaning, tokenization, TF-IDF vectorization, GloVe, and BERT embeddings on classification performance is examined. Furthermore, the research explores strategies for addressing class imbalance through upsampling techniques. Results indicate high accuracy and performance across multiple classifiers, with XGBoost achieving the highest accuracy of 97.33%. The analysis of MBTI dimensions reveals nuanced insights into the classifiers' ability to capture specific personality traits.

Religious people view both science and religion as less epistemically valuable than non-religious people view science

ABSTRACT Many religious people deny any conflict between religion and science, but nevertheless report less trust in science than non-religious people. We address this puzzle using insights from goal systems theory. Goal systems theory suggests that, when people have more means of achieving a goal, they perceive each individual means as less instrumental. We translate this “instrumentality hypothesis” to differences in how religious and non-religious people perceive science and religion. Religious people—who use both science and religion as means to gain knowledge—may perceive both as moderately instrumental, and as less instrumental than non-religious people view science. We support the instrumentality hypothesis in studies where participants evaluate the capacity of science and religion to explain extraordinary phenomena (Study 1), fill gaps in knowledge (Study 2), answer life's big questions (Study 3), and to help avoid COVID-19 infection (Study 4). We also find that non-religious people overperceive religious people's trust in religion and underperceive religious people's trust in science as sources of knowledge (Study 5). Non-religious people think that religion deters trust in science at the expense of high trust in religion, but instead, the typical religious person avoids extreme epistemic reliance on any single source of knowledge.
