Analysis of Persian WhatsApp Messages with Reference to Age, Politeness, and the Speech Act of Request

Abstract This study investigated WhatsApp messages exchanged between two generations of Iranian students and their respective lecturers in light of politeness, age, and the speech act of request. We utilised two sets of data: messages sent by current young students to two young lecturers, and those sent by former middle-aged students to two senior lecturers. Altogether, 100 WhatsApp messages were analysed (50 from each data set) focusing on salutations, body, and closing parts. The findings revealed that politeness is expressed differently across the two age groups: the younger students’ messages featured short and informal expressions and frequent use of emojis while the older group utilised elaborate messages to express politeness through the frequent use of honorifics and other politeness markers. Moreover, the younger group used WhatsApp messages towards their academic goals, such as requesting the postponement of an exam, whereas the older group messages aimed at re-establishing solidarity with their lecturers.

Triggering Chinese lecturers' intrinsic work motivation by value-based leadership and growth mindset: Generation difference by using multigroup analysis.

This cross-sectional study investigated the effects of value-based leadership and growth mindset on the intrinsic work motivation of Chinese lecturers. In addition, this study used age as a categorical moderator to investigate generational differences between the effects of Millennials and their predecessors. A sample of 518 lecturers from various Chinese universities was used to collect data, and SEM-PLS was used to analyse the data. The results showed that value-based leadership and growth mindset had a significant positive impact on both younger and older lecturers' intrinsic work motivation, with the effect of value-based leadership on younger lecturers' intrinsic motivation being significantly stronger than on older lecturers' intrinsic motivation, whereas the effect of growth mindset on intrinsic work motivation did not differ significantly between the younger and older groups. This study contributes to the existing research literature by contrasting the value-based leadership and growth mindset in relation to lecturers' intrinsic work motivation across younger and older groups in Chinese higher education settings, where greater heterogeneity between age groups was identified. The findings also provided university administrators with recommendations for boosting the intrinsic work motivation of lecturers, influencing future education policy.

The importance of cultural understanding and practical solutions during the handover of a psychotherapy and psychotraumatology program in Northern Iraq into local hands.

In post war regions, especially in low-income countries, the health care systems often require immediate support. For example, after the terror of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2014, many internally displaced persons took refuge in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). Those displaced by war have had to face the reality that psychotherapy did not exist as a service in the Kurdish health system. Many projects and Non-Government-Organizations (NGOs) that work in post-conflict regions focus on short term and quick response and/or basic psychological services. The implementation of the "Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychotraumatology" (IPP) at the University of Dohuk, follows a long-term approach. The 3-year-program teaches students to become professional psychotherapists, with respect to evidence-based and culturally adapted methods of psychotherapy. To achieve sustainability, the project is working towards handing over the teaching and organizational responsibilities into local hands. This article highlights the chances and challenges during this transition, as well as the importance of cultural understanding and realistic, practical solutions. An honest reflection on existing cultural challenges, e.g. inflexible hierarchical structures or an "old-fashioned" religious view of homosexuality, can then lead to practical solutions. These include winning over local authorities by including them in the process, culturally adapting to customs with the help of educated locals, demonstrating non-authoritarian forms of leadership, and explicitly promoting newly graduated young lecturers into positions of authority.

Factors Affecting the Creativity of Young Lecturers

Purpose: The study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the creative capacity of young lecturers in the Vietnamese higher education system. Theoretical framework: Creativity is the creation of new and helpful ideas in the field of science, art, business, and everyday activities (Amabile, 1996; Amabile, 1997). According to Woodman et al. (1993), creativity is the creation of new products, services, ideas, procedures, or processes that are useful and valuable. Kreitner & Kinicki (2004) argued that creativity is defined as the process of using imagination and skills to develop a new, unique idea, product, or process. Creativity is a difficult concept to define, researchers do not fully agree with any single definition (DiLiello & Houghton, 2006). Design/methodology/approach: An official survey was conducted from March to April 2022. The selected subjects are young lecturers (under 40 years old) working at 15 universities in the higher education system in Vietnam. The number of survey questionnaires achieved was 328, and applying structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The research has pointed out four factors that have positive impacts on the creative capacity of young lecturers, including intrinsic motivation, creative self-efficacy, thinking style, and the support environment. Among these, intrinsic motivation is the factor that has the most influence on the creative ability of young lecturers. Research, Practical & Social implications: Several managerial implications are proposed to promote the creativity of young lecturers. Firstly, universities should have policies to encourage young lecturers to accept challenges and come up with new ideas. Secondly, universities should build a system to receive, evaluate, support, and provide practical suggestions for creative ideas from young lecturers. Thirdly, universities should develop a policy of recognizing and rewarding their efforts. Originality/value: In general, the study has achieved the set goals. The study has demonstrated four factors affecting the creative capacity of young lecturers in the higher education system in Vietnam. All these factors have a positive impact on creative capacity.

Effects of Instructors' Character in Video Lectures: Does the Age of Lecturer Influence the Students' Learning Under Pandemic COVID-19?

This study investigated the impact of various age of online video lecturers on the learning performance of young college students, based on the previous studies about Model-Observer Similarity Hypothesis. Over the past few decades, many studies proved that learning is enhanced when the observer closely identifies with the model. Consequently, the present study aimed to examine how older or younger lecturers during two 10-minute videos influence the learning outcomes of young students (1), perceived similarity for each instructor of different ages (2), and the perceived explanation for each instructor (3), all other factors being equal. To test these hypotheses, a total of 20 (F = 14, M = 6) participants between the ages of 18 and 30 (F = 14, M = 6) were recruited from diverse college-student backgrounds and randomly assigned to two video lectures on Epigenetics and Behavioural genetics taught by either a younger or older instructor. The younger professor is less than 30 years old, whereas the elder lecturer is older than 40. The experiment's results were analysed using a paired sample t-test to evaluate these three hypotheses separately. All of the results were inconsistent with the model-observer hypothesis' expectations. It demonstrated that there is no significant difference between the learning performance of young students with regard to watch either younger or older instructor. Following that, it has been reported on the potential causes of contradictory results, limits, and prospective future applications.
