The rapid digitalisation and technological advancements associated with Industry 4.0 are transforming work environments, job demands, and employee expectations across sectors. While these changes create new opportunities for flexibility, innovation, and productivity, they also introduce increased pressures that can affect workers’ psychological well-being in different ways. Emerging literature highlights mental health and well-being as critical concerns in the digital era, yet limited attention has been given to how these changes are experienced differently by men and women. This conceptual paper aims to examine gender differences in psychological well-being within the context of Industry 4.0, with a focus on work demands, work–life balance, and organisational support. Through a critical review of existing empirical and theoretical studies, a conceptual framework is proposed, drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory and supported by Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being model. This framework provides an understanding of how demands and resources associated with Industry 4.0 shape the well-being of men and women in both similar and different ways. The study offers insights for policymakers, organisations, and researchers in developing more inclusive and gender-sensitive strategies to support employee well-being in technology-driven workplaces and contributes to discussions on sustainable work and mental health in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

This research study was conducted to provide a comparative analysis of the writing skills of intellectually disabled boys and girls studying at the secondary level. The primary objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that "intellectually disabled boys at the secondary level will exhibit higher writing skills compared to intellectually disabled girls." A total of 60 intellectually disabled students (30 boys and 30 girls, aged 12–18 years) were selected from special and inclusive schools in the Raipur district (Chhattisgarh) using purposive random sampling. Data were collected using a standardized 'Writing Skill Assessment Scale' (WSAS), which evaluated fine motor skills, shape imitation, clarity of letters/words, and copying speed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the mean, standard deviation (SD), and t-test. The results indicated no statistically significant difference between the scores of boys (M=54.20, SD=8.15) and girls (M=52.80, SD=8.40) (t=0.65, p=.518). Consequently, the formulated hypothesis is rejected. The study concludes that, in the context of intellectual disability, the development of writing skills is not gender-dependent but rather relies on individual motor coordination and regular practice.

Human well-being has received increasing attention as an indicator of individual and social health and as a consideration in public policy. Gender differences in subjective well-being (SWB), a widely accepted indicator of human well-being, have long been documented. However, explanations of these gender differences remain varied and inconclusive. This study utilizes Gallup World Poll data comprising 1,911,212 observations from 2009 to 2022. Employing advanced machine-learning techniques within an Exogenous Switching Treatment Effect Model (ESTEM) framework, we decompose the gender gap in SWB into differences in characteristics and differences in regime-specific returns. Conditional on observed characteristics and under a common predictive regime, the model predicts higher SWB for men. In contrast, the regime-specific returns component is associated with lower predicted well-being under the male regime. This component also increases over time, widening the estimated gender gap in SWB, while its magnitude varies across countries. The results suggest the potential relevance of institutional flexibility and reduced gender-role pressures for addressing gender disparities in human well-being.

Background Sleep duration is an important component of healthy aging, yet gender differences in short and long sleep among older adults remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine gender differences in sleep duration among Chinese older adults and quantify the contributions of socioeconomic, behavioral, functional, and health-related factors to these differences. Methods Data were obtained from 9,590 adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Sleep duration was self-reported and categorized as short (<6 h), normal (6–8 h), or long (>8 h). Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with short and long sleep, with weighted analyses and Poisson regression performed as sensitivity analyses. Separate Fairlie decomposition analyses were conducted for short and long sleep to quantify the contributions of observed characteristics to gender differences. Results Overall, 44.95% of participants had abnormal sleep duration, with a higher prevalence among women than men (46.87% vs. 42.66%, p < 0.001). Compared with men, women had a higher relative risk of short sleep (RRR = 1.399, 95% CI: 1.204–1.625) but a lower relative risk of long sleep (RRR = 0.856, 95% CI: 0.754–0.972). The association with short sleep remained significant in the weighted analysis (RRR = 1.530, 95% CI: 1.210–1.935), whereas the gender difference in long sleep was attenuated (RRR = 0.821, 95% CI: 0.661–1.021). For short sleep, observed characteristics explained 21.65% of the gender disparity. Education (22.75%), depressive symptoms (11.07%), IADL limitation (6.02%), and self-assessed health (4.82%) contributed positively to the disparity, whereas smoking status (−22.57%), drinking status (−12.45%), and exercise (−4.87%) partially offset it. The gender difference in long sleep was negligible, with substantial offsetting contributions across factors. Conclusion Gender differences in sleep duration among Chinese older adults were primarily concentrated in short sleep, with women experiencing a higher risk. Socioeconomic, behavioral, psychological, and functional characteristics contributed to this disparity, although most of the short-sleep difference remained unexplained. Gender-sensitive interventions addressing educational disadvantage, depressive symptoms, functional limitations, and health behaviors may help reduce inequalities in sleep duration among older adults.

Gender inequality in higher education remains a concern in rural Pakistan, where women’s education opportunities are shaped by social expectations concerning mobility, family responsibilities, and appropriate gender roles. This study examined how social stigmatization associated with staying at home and performing domestic roles is experienced by rural females and how public and self-stigma relate to their participation in higher education. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological design was employed. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews from 30 participants in rural Pakistan, including eight female students and nine female family members, and 13 male family and community members. Thematic analysis identified four interrelated themes: restricted mobility and chaperonage, conditional educational and career aspirations, internalized domestic identity, and protectionist concerns surrounding coeducation. The findings indicate that female education was generally valued, but support was often conditional on family approval, proximity to home, supervision, and conformity with socially accepted roles as daughters, wives, and mothers. Public stigma was reflected in shared expectations that restricted women’s mobility, educational location, and career choices. While self-stigma through self-censorship became apparent when some female students anticipated these judgments and adjusted their educational aspirations accordingly. These findings suggest that educational inequality in the setting examined is associated not only with material and institutional barriers but also with social judgments and their internalization. By applying a stigma perspective, the study provides a context-specific account of how public stigma, self-stigma, and self-censorship may interact with gendered expectations to narrow higher education opportunities for rural females.

Introduction Climate change impacts are not gender-neutral, yet standard reporting relies on aggregate household indicators that obscure intra-household power dynamics and diverse individual vulnerabilities. This review assesses gender-differentiated climate resilience in rural farming households and evaluates the extent to which empirical evidence aligns with the gender-responsive, participatory and transparent mandates of the Paris Agreement. Methods Peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025 were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, AJOL and Google Scholar following PRISMA guidelines. A total of 117 eligible studies were screened and analysed thematically using a hybrid inductive–deductive approach in R. Methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), and evidence coverage was characterised using GRADE-CERQual adequacy criteria. Policy alignment was mapped against Articles 2.1b, 7.1, 7.5, 11 and 13. Results Eight interrelated resilience domains were identified: livelihood, water, food, ecological, social, community, agricultural and economic. The review reveals a significant implementation gap between the Paris Agreement and ground-level reality. While Articles 7.5, 11 and 13 emphasise equity and participation, resilience is often achieved through paradoxes of depletion. We propose the Gendered Resilience Paradox Framework (GRPF), a novel theoretical model encompassing resilience as a distributive process rather than a neutral capacity. The framework identifies five interlocking mechanisms—workload-resilience, biological buffer, mobility-stability, restoration-marginalisation and hydrological time-poverty—through which household resilience is achieved via the systematic transfer of adaptation costs onto women’s bodies, time and agency. These paradoxes form a self-reinforcing Depletion Cycle, creating a resilience debt that may compound intergenerationally. A co-occurrence network (n = 117) shows that workload-resilience is the most frequently documented paradox (53.0%) and reveals that embodied paradoxes remain the least studied. Articles 2.1b and 7.1 show partial alignment; Articles 7.5, 11 and 13 show misalignment. Men also face climate-related hardships, including psychosocial stress, migration-induced vulnerabilities and systemic exclusion from aid. Discussion Resilience achieved through depletion is not resilience but a debt. Closing the implementation gap requires distributional indicators, time-releasing infrastructure, secure land tenure, and bundled interventions that address multiple paradoxes simultaneously.

Fundamental frequency (F0) is a salient acoustic cue in voice perception, but how F0-related attractiveness judgments vary across listeners with different sexual orientations remains insufficiently understood. This study examined attractiveness ratings under controlled F0 manipulation in Mandarin voice stimuli produced by one male and one female announcer. Eighty adults were recruited: 20 heterosexual male, 20 heterosexual female, 20 homosexual male, and 20 homosexual female participants. An adaptive three-alternative forced-choice pretest with 12 listeners established a group-level F0 just-noticeable difference (JND) of 0.215 ERB. Seven F0 levels, from −3 to +3 JNDs around each speaker’s own baseline, were then presented three times in the main experiment. Because each listener group rated only the target-voice sex that matched its presumed attraction pattern, the study compares two observed listener–target configurations rather than fully crossing listener sex, sexual orientation, and target-voice sex. Linear mixed-effects models showed that attractiveness ratings for the male voice decreased as F0 increased in both heterosexual female and homosexual male listeners, with no reliable difference in slopes. For the female voice, ratings increased with F0 in both heterosexual male and homosexual female listeners, while the homosexual-female group additionally showed a significant nonlinear component, with a fitted maximum near +2.4 JND. These findings indicate that, within these two listener–target configurations and these two controlled source voices, F0-related attractiveness judgments generally followed target-sex-related directions, whereas between-group variation was more evident in response strength and curve shape. The study contributes to experimental research on social voice perception and provides a controlled Mandarin-language baseline for future cross-linguistic comparisons of vocal social evaluation; it does not itself test intercultural variation.

This study aims to compare the motivation levels of male and female eighth-grade students during volleyball instruction at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Samarinda. The study employs a quantitative descriptive design with a comparative approach. The sample consisted of 61 students: 30 males and 31 females. A total sampling technique was used, meaning all members of the population meeting the research criteria were included in the sample. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire based on indicators of needs, persistence, drive, expectations, reinforcement, and goals. The instrument underwent validity and reliability testing prior to use. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an independent samples t-test. The results showed an average motivation score of 134.13 for male students and 125.61 for female students, with a mean difference of 8.52. The independent samples t-test yielded a t-value of 2.992 (df = 59) and a significance value of 0.004 (p < 0.05). These findings can serve as a reference for physical education teachers in developing instructional strategies that are varied, inclusive, and responsive to students' characteristics and needs, thereby fostering increased learning motivation in volleyball lessons.

Whether breadth of leisure activity engagement (LAE) is associated with cognitive resilience (CR) in older Chinese adults, and whether this association differs by gender, remain unclear. Using five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011–2020), we estimated CR as the residual of global cognition after accounting for age, education, gender, residence, and chronic disease burden, and examined activity × gender interactions in generalized estimating equations ( n = 7130 observations from 3293 adults aged ≥60). Cognitive and social activity breadth were each independently associated with higher CR, but with contrasting domain patterns. Cognitive activities showed a linear dose-response with comparable associations in both genders (males β = 0.164, females β = 0.171, both p < 0.001; Activity × Gender interaction p = 0.435). Social activities followed a quadratic dose-response peaking at approximately three activity types. In gender-stratified models, the social-activity association was concentrated in males ( β = 0.164, p < 0.001) and was not significant among females ( β = 0.032, p = 0.323; activity × gender interaction β = −0.111, p = 0.020), despite higher social participation rates among women. Lagged analyses supported temporal precedence. These findings indicate that the resilience associations of LAE breadth in older Chinese adults are domain- and gender-dependent: cognitive activity breadth was positively associated with CR in both genders, whereas this association was concentrated in men for social activities. These findings warrant further investigation of whether the content, context, or measurement of social engagement contributes to the observed gender difference.

The increasing accessibility of online pornography has led to earlier exposure among children and adolescents, raising concerns about its potential long-term effects on sexual development, behaviour and mental health. This systematic literature review synthesises current evidence on the relationship between early exposure to pornography and later pornography consumption. A comprehensive search of six electronic databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, Embase, ASSIA, Web of Science) identified 17 studies that met the inclusion criteria, which required individuals to have experienced early exposure to pornography and reported subsequent pornography consumption. Eligible quantitative studies (longitudinal, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional), published in English from 1993 onwards, were identified and screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Across studies, earlier age of first exposure was consistently associated with higher frequency of use, greater risk of compulsive or problematic consumption and progression towards more extreme or deviant content in adolescence and adulthood. Developmental and gender differences emerged, with males generally exposed earlier and exhibiting stronger associations between early exposure and problematic use, although similar attitudinal effects were noted among females. Mediating mechanisms included internalisation of sexual scripts, perceived realism, shame and emotional distress, while moderating factors encompassed impulsivity, sensation-seeking, family stability, religiosity and cultural context. Overall, findings indicate that early exposure to pornography may shape enduring behavioural and cognitive trajectories, with outcomes influenced by individual, developmental and social factors. Findings and future directions are discussed in relation to implications for practice, policy and future research.

Objective Executive function may protect against internalizing and externalizing problems, but it may also be compromised by these problems. This longitudinal study examined the developmental transactions between executive function and internalizing and externalizing problems across late childhood to adolescence using a Chinese sample.Method A total of 285 fifth-graders (younger cohort, 10.81 years, 58.6% boys) and 269 ninth-graders (older cohort, 14.74 years, 47.2% boys) were assessed for five waves across 3 years. At each wave (starting November 2020), youth reported internalizing and externalizing problems and completed inhibitory control, shifting, and updating tasks, and caregivers reported their child’s executive functioning by questionnaire.Results Random-intercept cross-lagged panel models revealed that poorer task-based executive functions predicted later externalizing problems in the younger cohort. In the older cohort, bidirectional associations emerged between rating-based executive function and internalizing problems, with component-specific analyses revealing that rating-based updating showed the most consistent associations. Gender differences emerged: parent-rated poorer executive functions predicted increases in externalizing and internalizing problems among girls in the older cohort.Conclusions These findings suggest the variations across age cohorts and measurement approaches in the associations between executive function and internalizing and externalizing problems from late childhood through adolescence. Further, these findings, derived from a Chinese cultural context, highlight the need for cross-cultural replication to determine generalizability.

هدف: کارکرد اجرایی ممکن است در برابر مشکلات درونی‌سازی و برونی‌سازی نقش محافظتی داشته باشد، اما همچنین ممکن است توسط این مشکلات تضعیف شود. این مطالعه طولی به بررسی تعاملات رشدی بین کارکرد اجرایی و مشکلات درونی‌سازی و برونی‌سازی از اواخر کودکی تا نوجوانی با استفاده از یک نمونه چینی پرداخت. روش: در مجموع ۲۸۵ دانش‌آموز پایه پنجم (گروه سنی پایین‌تر، ۱۰٫۸۱ سال، ۵۸٫۶٪ پسر) و ۲۶۹ دانش‌آموز پایه نهم (گروه سنی بالاتر، ۱۴٫۷۴ سال، ۴۷٫۲٪ پسر) طی پنج موج در طول ۳ سال مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفتند. در هر موج (از نوامبر ۲۰۲۰ آغاز شد)، نوجوانان مشکلات درونی‌سازی و برونی‌سازی را گزارش کردند و وظایف کنترل مهاری، تغییر و به‌روزرسانی را انجام دادند و مراقبان نیز کارکرد اجرایی فرزند خود را از طریق پرسشنامه گزارش کردند. نتایج: مدل‌های پانل متقاطع با رهگیری تصادفی نشان دادند که کارکردهای اجرایی ضعیف‌تر مبتنی بر وظیفه، مشکلات برونی‌سازی بعدی را در گروه سنی پایین‌تر پیش‌بینی کردند. در گروه سنی بالاتر، ارتباطات دوطرفه بین کارکرد اجرایی مبتنی بر ارزیابی و مشکلات درونی‌سازی مشاهده شد و تحلیل‌های جزءمحور نشان داد که به‌روزرسانی مبتنی بر ارزیابی بیشترین ارتباطات پایدار را نشان می‌دهد. تفاوت‌های جنسیتی نیز مشاهده شد: کارکردهای اجرایی ضعیف‌تر ارزیابی‌شده توسط والدین، افزایش مشکلات برونی‌سازی و درونی‌سازی را در میان دختران گروه سنی بالاتر پیش‌بینی کرد. نتیجه‌گیری: این یافته‌ها بیانگر تفاوت‌های بین گروه‌های سنی و رویکردهای اندازه‌گیری در ارتباط بین کارکرد اجرایی و مشکلات درونی‌سازی و برونی‌سازی از اواخر کودکی تا نوجوانی است. همچنین، این یافته‌ها که از یک زمینه فرهنگی چینی به‌دست آمده‌اند، بر لزوم تکرار بین‌فرهنگی برای تعیین قابلیت تعمیم تأکید دارند.

Introduction Gambling problems (GP) remain underexplored among forensic psychiatric patients (FPPs). Given the associations between GP, mental distress, and criminal behavior, it is imperative to investigate GP in this population. Aims This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of gambling and GP among FPPs in Denmark and explore associations between GP and sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical variables. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted, including 214 FPPs across 19 hospital units in two major Danish Health Regions. The primary measures were past-year gambling and GP assessed via the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Secondary measures included gambling behavior (e.g., expenditure, frequency, self-exclusion), sociodemographic (e.g., age, gender, educational attainment), financial (e.g., consumer loans, monetary savings), and clinical variables (e.g., length of stay, psychiatric diagnoses). Gambling FPPs were asked if they had felt compelled to commit crime due to gambling during the past 12 months. Correlates of GP were identified by comparing higher-risk (PGSI ≥ 3) to lower-risk (PGSI ≤2) gambling FPPs. Prevalence was compared to a gender- and age-matched normative sample from a recent Danish national gambling survey. Results The prevalence of past-year gambling among FPPs was 46% (95% CI = 39-53%), while the prevalence of severe GP (PGSI ≥ 8, indicative of gambling disorder) was 12% (95% CI: 8.1-17%). Relative to lower-risk gambling FPPs (PGSI ≤2), higher-risk FPPs (PGSI ≥ 3) were more likely to be male, to express poorer financial conditions, and to have felt compelled to engage in criminal behavior due to gambling. GP prevalence was markedly higher among FPPs than in the normative sample, where 1.8% reported severe GP (PGSI ≥ 8) (95% CI: 1.3-2.5%). Discussion and Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the prevalence of gambling and GP among FPPs, and the rates were considerable. Given the consequences that GP may have on FPP health and economy, and thus recovery, our findings underscore the potential benefits of screening for and addressing GP in forensic psychiatric care. There is a strong need for further research to inform tailored interventions, improve treatment, and mitigate the potential impact of gambling on recidivism risk.

مقدمه مشکلات قمار (GP) در میان بیماران روان‌پزشکی قانونی (FPPs) همچنان کمتر مورد بررسی قرار گرفته‌اند. با توجه به ارتباط میان GP، پریشانی روانی و رفتار مجرمانه، بررسی GP در این جمعیت ضروری است. اهداف این مطالعه با هدف برآورد شیوع قمار و GP در میان FPPs در دانمارک و بررسی ارتباط میان GP و متغیرهای جمعیت‌شناختی، رفتاری و بالینی انجام شد. روش‌ها یک پیمایش مقطعی با مشارکت ۲۱۴ نفر از FPPs در ۱۹ بخش بیمارستانی در دو منطقه بزرگ سلامت دانمارک انجام شد. شاخص‌های اصلی، قمار و GP در سال گذشته بودند که با استفاده از شاخص شدت مشکلات قمار (PGSI) ارزیابی شدند. شاخص‌های ثانویه شامل رفتار قمار (مانند میزان هزینه، فراوانی، خودمحروم‌سازی)، متغیرهای جمعیت‌شناختی (مانند سن، جنسیت، میزان تحصیلات)، مالی (مانند وام‌های مصرفی، پس‌انداز مالی) و بالینی (مانند مدت اقامت، تشخیص‌های روان‌پزشکی) بودند. از FPPs قمارکننده پرسیده شد که آیا در ۱۲ ماه گذشته به دلیل قمار احساس اجبار به ارتکاب جرم داشته‌اند یا خیر. عوامل مرتبط با GP با مقایسه FPPs با ریسک بالاتر (PGSI ≥ ۳) و ریسک پایین‌تر (PGSI ≤۲) شناسایی شد. شیوع با نمونه هنجاری همسان‌سازی‌شده بر اساس جنس و سن از یک پیمایش ملی اخیر قمار در دانمارک مقایسه شد. نتایج شیوع قمار در سال گذشته در میان FPPs برابر با ۴۶٪ (۹۵٪ CI = ۳۹-۵۳٪) و شیوع GP شدید (PGSI ≥ ۸، نشان‌دهنده اختلال قمار) برابر با ۱۲٪ (۹۵٪ CI: ۸.۱-۱۷٪) بود. در مقایسه با FPPs با ریسک پایین‌تر قمار (PGSI ≤۲)، افراد با ریسک بالاتر (PGSI ≥ ۳) بیشتر مرد بودند، شرایط مالی ضعیف‌تری داشتند و بیشتر احساس اجبار به ارتکاب رفتار مجرمانه به دلیل قمار را گزارش کردند. شیوع GP در میان FPPs به طور قابل توجهی بالاتر از نمونه هنجاری بود که در آن ۱.۸٪ GP شدید (PGSI ≥ ۸) را گزارش کردند (۹۵٪ CI: ۱.۳-۲.۵٪). بحث و نتیجه‌گیری تا جایی که اطلاع داریم، این نخستین مطالعه‌ای است که شیوع قمار و GP را در میان FPPs بررسی می‌کند و نرخ‌ها قابل توجه بودند. با توجه به پیامدهایی که GP می‌تواند بر سلامت و اقتصاد FPPs و در نتیجه بهبودی آنان داشته باشد، یافته‌های ما بر مزایای بالقوه غربالگری و پرداختن به GP در مراقبت روان‌پزشکی قانونی تأکید می‌کند. نیاز جدی به پژوهش‌های بیشتر برای اطلاع‌رسانی مداخلات هدفمند، بهبود درمان و کاهش تأثیر احتمالی قمار بر ریسک عود جرم وجود دارد.

Depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms are common among adolescents, yet many studies dichotomise Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) outcomes, potentially losing information across severity levels. This study estimated symptom prevalence and examined factors associated with the severity of depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms among Vietnamese high school students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among all Grade 10–12 students at one school in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Bivariate and multivariable proportional-odds logistic regression models were fitted for three ordered severity categories: normal, mild/moderate, and severe/very severe. Analyses were performed in R version 4.6.0. Among 366 students, severe/very severe depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms were reported by 13.4%, 27.9%, and 16.4% of students, respectively. Female sex was associated with greater severity of depressive (aOR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.41–3.39), anxiety (aOR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.24–2.86), and stress symptoms (aOR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.54–3.68). Average/weak academic performance was associated with greater depressive symptom severity (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.11–4.04). Poor family relationships were associated with greater anxiety (aOR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.11–2.90) and stress symptom severity (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.25–3.53), while parental academic expectations were associated with greater anxiety symptom severity (aOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.10–2.52). Grade 11 students had lower odds of greater stress symptom severity than Grade 10 students (aOR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.31–0.80). Female sex, academic performance, family relationships, parental expectations, and grade level were differentially associated with symptom severity. Analyses that preserved the ordered structure of DASS-21 outcomes showed that associated factors differed across symptom domains. These findings support sex-sensitive screening and targeted school- and family-based mental health strategies.

علائم افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس در میان نوجوانان شایع است، با این حال بسیاری از پژوهش‌ها نتایج مقیاس افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس-۲۱ (DASS-21) را دوگانه‌سازی می‌کنند که ممکن است منجر به از دست رفتن اطلاعات در سطوح مختلف شدت شود. این مطالعه شیوع علائم را برآورد کرده و عوامل مرتبط با شدت علائم افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس را در میان دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی ویتنامی بررسی کرده است. یک مطالعه مقطعی در میان تمامی دانش‌آموزان پایه دهم تا دوازدهم یک مدرسه در دلتای مکونگ، ویتنام انجام شد. مدل‌های رگرسیون لجستیک با شانس‌های متناسب دو متغیره و چندمتغیره برای سه دسته شدت مرتب‌شده (عادی، خفیف/متوسط و شدید/بسیار شدید) برازش داده شد. تحلیل‌ها در نرم‌افزار R نسخه 4.6.0 انجام شد. در میان ۳۶۶ دانش‌آموز، به ترتیب ۱۳.۴٪، ۲۷.۹٪ و ۱۶.۴٪ علائم افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس شدید/بسیار شدید را گزارش کردند. جنسیت مؤنث با شدت بیشتر علائم افسردگی (aOR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.41–3.39)، اضطراب (aOR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.24–2.86) و استرس (aOR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.54–3.68) همراه بود. عملکرد تحصیلی متوسط/ضعیف با شدت بیشتر علائم افسردگی (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.11–4.04) مرتبط بود. روابط خانوادگی ضعیف با شدت بیشتر علائم اضطراب (aOR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.11–2.90) و استرس (aOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.25–3.53) مرتبط بود، در حالی که انتظارات تحصیلی والدین با شدت بیشتر علائم اضطراب (aOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.10–2.52) همراه بود. دانش‌آموزان پایه یازدهم نسبت به پایه دهم احتمال کمتری برای شدت بیشتر علائم استرس داشتند (aOR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.31–0.80). جنسیت مؤنث، عملکرد تحصیلی، روابط خانوادگی، انتظارات والدین و پایه تحصیلی به طور متفاوتی با شدت علائم مرتبط بودند. تحلیل‌هایی که ساختار مرتب‌شده نتایج DASS-21 را حفظ کردند نشان دادند که عوامل مرتبط در حوزه‌های مختلف علائم متفاوت است. این یافته‌ها از غربالگری حساس به جنسیت و راهبردهای سلامت روان مبتنی بر مدرسه و خانواده حمایت می‌کند.

Aim: We examined the relationship between athlete identification and effective decision-making in basketball players, testing whether age and gender moderate this relationship.Method: The study employed the Athlete Identification Level Scale (AILS) and the Scale of Effective Decision-Making in Sport (SEDMS) within a quantitative framework. Data were analyzed via correlation, multiple linear regression, and moderation tests.Results: Athletic identity significantly and positively predicted internal decision-making. For external decision-making, image and career maturity was a significant negative predictor, whereas athletic identity was a significant positive predictor. Age and gender significantly moderated the relationship between athlete identification and effective decision-making. Specifically, higher athlete identification was associated with lower effective decision-making among older and female basketball players.Conclusion: The findings indicate that the relationship between athlete identification and effective decision-making varies according to age and gender. These results highlight the importance of considering demographic differences when addressing decision-making processes in basketball players.

هدف: این پژوهش به بررسی رابطه بین شناسایی ورزشکار و تصمیم‌گیری مؤثر در بازیکنان بسکتبال پرداخته و نقش تعدیل‌گری سن و جنسیت را در این رابطه آزمون کرده است. روش: در این مطالعه، از مقیاس سطح شناسایی ورزشکار (AILS) و مقیاس تصمیم‌گیری مؤثر در ورزش (SEDMS) در چارچوبی کمی استفاده شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از همبستگی، رگرسیون خطی چندگانه و آزمون‌های تعدیل‌گری تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها: هویت ورزشی به طور معنادار و مثبت پیش‌بین تصمیم‌گیری درونی بود. برای تصمیم‌گیری بیرونی، تصویر و بلوغ شغلی پیش‌بین منفی معنادار و هویت ورزشی پیش‌بین مثبت معنادار بود. سن و جنسیت رابطه بین شناسایی ورزشکار و تصمیم‌گیری مؤثر را به طور معناداری تعدیل کردند. به طور خاص، شناسایی بالاتر ورزشکار با تصمیم‌گیری مؤثر پایین‌تر در میان بازیکنان بسکتبال مسن‌تر و زن همراه بود. نتیجه‌گیری: یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهند که رابطه بین شناسایی ورزشکار و تصمیم‌گیری مؤثر بر اساس سن و جنسیت متفاوت است. این نتایج بر اهمیت توجه به تفاوت‌های جمعیت‌شناختی در بررسی فرایندهای تصمیم‌گیری در بازیکنان بسکتبال تأکید می‌کند.

This study aims to analyze the comparison of student learning outcomes using the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning models in science (IPAS) subject on the topic of energy in Grade VI elementary school, as well as to examine the influence of gender on these outcomes. The study employed a quantitative descriptive comparative approach with 22 students of Class VI D as subjects, consisting of 12 male and 10 female students. Data were collected through learning outcome tests conducted under both learning conditions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene homogeneity test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test (comparing TGT and PBL within the same students), and Mann-Whitney U test (comparing male and female students). Results showed that the overall mean score for the TGT model (89.09; SD = 18.23) was higher than for the PBL model (84.55; SD = 21.32). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test yielded p = 0.190 (p > 0.05), indicating that the difference between TGT and PBL learning outcomes overall was not statistically significant. By gender, female students had higher average scores than males in both models (TGT: 94.00 vs 85.00; PBL: 92.00 vs 78.33), though the differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.101 for TGT and p = 0.102 for PBL). Learning mastery reached 81.8% in the TGT model and 72.7% in the PBL model, with female mastery (90.0% in both models) higher than males (75.0% in TGT and 58.3% in PBL). These findings imply the importance of differentiated learning based on gender to improve male students' learning mastery.

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل مقایسه‌ای نتایج یادگیری دانش‌آموزان با استفاده از مدل‌های یادگیری Teams Games Tournament (TGT) و Problem Based Learning (PBL) در درس علوم (IPAS) با موضوع انرژی در پایه ششم ابتدایی و همچنین بررسی تأثیر جنسیت بر این نتایج است. این پژوهش با رویکرد توصیفی-مقایسه‌ای کمی و با شرکت ۲۲ دانش‌آموز کلاس VI D (۱۲ پسر و ۱۰ دختر) انجام شد. داده‌ها از طریق آزمون‌های نتایج یادگیری که تحت هر دو شرایط یادگیری برگزار شد، جمع‌آوری گردید. تحلیل داده‌ها شامل آمار توصیفی، آزمون نرمالیتی Shapiro-Wilk، آزمون همگنی Levene، آزمون Wilcoxon signed-rank (مقایسه TGT و PBL در یک دانش‌آموز) و آزمون Mann-Whitney U (مقایسه دانش‌آموزان دختر و پسر) بود. نتایج نشان داد میانگین کلی نمره مدل TGT (۸۹٫۰۹؛ SD = ۱۸٫۲۳) بالاتر از مدل PBL (۸۴٫۵۵؛ SD = ۲۱٫۳۲) بود. آزمون Wilcoxon signed-rank مقدار p = ۰٫۱۹۰ (p > ۰٫۰۵) را نشان داد که بیانگر عدم تفاوت معنادار آماری بین نتایج یادگیری TGT و PBL به طور کلی است. بر اساس جنسیت، دانش‌آموزان دختر در هر دو مدل میانگین نمره بالاتری نسبت به پسران داشتند (TGT: ۹۴٫۰۰ در مقابل ۸۵٫۰۰؛ PBL: ۹۲٫۰۰ در مقابل ۷۸٫۳۳)، هرچند این تفاوت‌ها از نظر آماری معنادار نبود (p = ۰٫۱۰۱ برای TGT و p = ۰٫۱۰۲ برای PBL). میزان تسلط یادگیری در مدل TGT به ۸۱٫۸٪ و در مدل PBL به ۷۲٫۷٪ رسید و تسلط دختران (۹۰٫۰٪ در هر دو مدل) بالاتر از پسران بود (۷۵٫۰٪ در TGT و ۵۸٫۳٪ در PBL). این یافته‌ها بر اهمیت یادگیری تفکیکی بر اساس جنسیت برای بهبود تسلط یادگیری دانش‌آموزان پسر دلالت دارد.

Introduction Perceptions of virtuous persons represent an important yet understudied dimension of moral cognition that may be associated with individuals' psychological functioning as well as their developmental and contextual experiences. This study examined university students' perceptions of virtuous persons in relation to demographic characteristics, psychological wellbeing, psychological resilience, intolerance of uncertainty, and hopelessness. Methods This cross-sectional correlational study included 1,322 undergraduate students aged 18–32 years enrolled at five universities in Türkiye. Exploratory demographic differences were examined using an independent-samples t -test and one-way analyses of variance, while the unique contributions of the psychological variables were assessed using multiple linear regression. Results The regression model was statistically significant and explained 35.9% of the variance in perceptions of virtuous persons. Psychological wellbeing was the strongest positive predictor (β = 0.580, p < 0.001). Intolerance of uncertainty also showed a smaller positive association (β = 0.138, p < 0.001), contrary to the hypothesized negative direction. Psychological resilience and hopelessness did not make significant unique contributions. Exploratory analyses also identified differences according to gender, income level, year of study, and academic achievement, although the effects were modest. Discussion The findings indicate that psychological characteristics are not uniformly associated with perceptions of virtuous persons and that psychological wellbeing accounts for most of the model's explanatory contribution. The unexpected positive association between intolerance of uncertainty and perceptions of virtuous persons warrants cautious interpretation. Longitudinal and cross-cultural research is needed to clarify the direction and underlying mechanisms of these associations.

مقدمه: ادراک افراد بافضیلت، بُعدی مهم اما کمتر مطالعه‌شده از شناخت اخلاقی را نشان می‌دهد که ممکن است با کارکرد روان‌شناختی افراد و همچنین تجارب رشدی و زمینه‌ای آنان مرتبط باشد. این پژوهش، ادراک دانشجویان دانشگاهی از افراد بافضیلت را در ارتباط با ویژگی‌های جمعیت‌شناختی، سلامت روان‌شناختی، تاب‌آوری روان‌شناختی، نابردباری نسبت به عدم قطعیت و ناامیدی مورد بررسی قرار داد. روش‌ها: این مطالعه مقطعی همبستگی شامل ۱۳۲۲ دانشجوی کارشناسی ۱۸ تا ۳۲ ساله از پنج دانشگاه در ترکیه بود. تفاوت‌های جمعیت‌شناختی به صورت اکتشافی با آزمون t مستقل و تحلیل واریانس یک‌طرفه بررسی شد و سهم منحصربه‌فرد متغیرهای روان‌شناختی با رگرسیون خطی چندگانه ارزیابی گردید. نتایج: مدل رگرسیون از لحاظ آماری معنادار بود و ۳۵/۹٪ از واریانس ادراک افراد بافضیلت را تبیین کرد. سلامت روان‌شناختی قوی‌ترین پیش‌بینی‌کننده مثبت بود (β = 0.580, p < 0.001). نابردباری نسبت به عدم قطعیت نیز برخلاف جهت فرض‌شده، ارتباط مثبت کوچک‌تری نشان داد (β = 0.138, p < 0.001). تاب‌آوری روان‌شناختی و ناامیدی سهم منحصربه‌فرد معناداری نداشتند. تحلیل‌های اکتشافی همچنین تفاوت‌هایی بر اساس جنسیت، سطح درآمد، سال تحصیلی و موفقیت تحصیلی شناسایی کردند، هرچند این اثرات اندک بود. بحث: یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که ویژگی‌های روان‌شناختی به طور یکنواخت با ادراک افراد بافضیلت مرتبط نیستند و سلامت روان‌شناختی بیشترین سهم تبیینی مدل را دارد. ارتباط مثبت غیرمنتظره نابردباری نسبت به عدم قطعیت با ادراک افراد بافضیلت نیازمند تفسیر محتاطانه است. پژوهش‌های طولی و بین‌فرهنگی برای روشن شدن جهت و سازوکارهای زیربنایی این ارتباطات مورد نیاز است.

The study investigated the effect of Simulation Application Technique (SAT) on secondary school students' interest in Genetics in Anambra State. A quasi-experimental research design, specifically the pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design, was adopted. The population comprised 21,211 Senior Secondary II Biology students in public secondary schools in Anambra State. A sample of 220 students participated in the study, with 120 students assigned to the experimental group and 100 to the control group using multistage sampling techniques. The instrument used for data collection was Genetics Interest Inventory (GII). The instrument was validated by experts in Biology Education and Measurement and Evaluation, while the reliability of the GII was established using Cronbach's Alpha and yielded an index value of 0.84. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, whereas Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to test the hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that students taught Genetics using Simulation Application Technique recorded a higher mean interest gain (22.14) than those taught using the conventional Lecture Method (7.20). ANCOVA results further showed that the difference was statistically significant (F = 12.001, p < .05), with gender having no significant influence on students' interest, and there was no significant interaction effect between teaching strategy and gender. The study concluded that Simulation Application Technique is an effective learner-centred instructional strategy for improving students' interest in Genetics irrespective of gender. It was recommended that Biology teachers integrate simulation applications into Genetics instruction and that educational authorities organize regular professional development programmes to enhance teachers' competence in the use of simulation-based instructional strategies.

این پژوهش به بررسی تأثیر فنون کاربرد شبیه‌سازی (SAT) بر علاقه‌مندی دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی به ژنتیک در ایالت Anambra پرداخت. طرح پژوهش شبه‌آزمایشی، به طور خاص طرح پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل غیرمعادل، اتخاذ شد. جامعه آماری شامل ۲۱٬۲۱۱ دانش‌آموز زیست‌شناسی پایه دوم دبیرستان در مدارس متوسطه دولتی ایالت Anambra بود. نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۲۲۰ دانش‌آموز در این پژوهش شرکت کردند که ۱۲۰ نفر به گروه آزمایش و ۱۰۰ نفر به گروه کنترل با استفاده از روش‌های نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای اختصاص یافتند. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامه علاقه‌مندی به ژنتیک (GII) بود. این ابزار توسط متخصصان آموزش زیست‌شناسی و سنجش و ارزیابی اعتبارسنجی شد و پایایی GII با استفاده از آلفای کرونباخ محاسبه شد که شاخصی برابر با ۰٫۸۴ به دست آمد. برای پاسخ به پرسش‌های پژوهش از میانگین و انحراف معیار استفاده شد و برای آزمون فرضیه‌ها از تحلیل کوواریانس (ANCOVA) در سطح معناداری ۰٫۰۵ بهره گرفته شد. یافته‌ها نشان دادند که دانش‌آموزانی که ژنتیک را با استفاده از فنون کاربرد شبیه‌سازی فراگرفتند، افزایش میانگین علاقه‌مندی بیشتری (۲۲٫۱۴) نسبت به کسانی که با روش سخنرانی متداول آموزش دیدند (۷٫۲۰) داشتند. نتایج ANCOVA همچنین نشان داد که این تفاوت از نظر آماری معنادار است (F = 12.001, p < .05)، و جنسیت تأثیر معناداری بر علاقه‌مندی دانش‌آموزان نداشت و اثر تعاملی معناداری بین راهبرد تدریس و جنسیت مشاهده نشد. پژوهش نتیجه گرفت که فنون کاربرد شبیه‌سازی یک راهبرد آموزشی مؤثر و دانش‌آموزمحور برای افزایش علاقه‌مندی دانش‌آموزان به ژنتیک، فارغ از جنسیت، است. توصیه شد که معلمان زیست‌شناسی برنامه‌های شبیه‌سازی را در آموزش ژنتیک ادغام کنند و مسئولان آموزشی برنامه‌های توسعه حرفه‌ای منظم برای ارتقای شایستگی معلمان در استفاده از راهبردهای آموزشی مبتنی بر شبیه‌سازی برگزار کنند.

Basic science is concerned with developing an understanding of the natural world through observation, experimentation, investigation, and logical reasoning. The study compared the effectiveness of computer simulations and charts usage on secondary school students’ academic achievement in Basic Science in Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State. Two research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. The population consisted of 3,310 (1,664 males and 1,646 females) Upper Basic Education Two (UB2) students who enrolled for the 2025/2026 academic session in the 39 public secondary schools in the Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State, with a sample of 186 UB2 Basic Science students selected using a multistage sampling procedure. The instrument for data collection was Basic Science Achievement Test (BSAT). The instrument was face validated by three experts and a reliability index of 0.87 was obtained using Kuder Richardson 20 method. Experimental procedure was carried out in stages and data were collected through pretest and posttest using BSAT. Data analysis was done using the mean and Analysis of Covariance at the 0.05 level of significance. Findings, among others, revealed that students taught Basic Science concepts using computer simulations achieved significantly higher scores than those taught using charts. Male students taught using computer simulations recorded slightly higher mean achievement scores than their female counterparts, but the difference was not significant. Based on the findings, the study recommended that Basic Science teachers should regularly use computer simulations during classroom instruction, as they significantly improve students’ achievement in Basic Science more than charts do.

علوم پایه به توسعه درک از جهان طبیعی از طریق مشاهده، آزمایش، تحقیق و استدلال منطقی می‌پردازد. این پژوهش اثربخشی استفاده از شبیه‌سازی‌های رایانه‌ای و نمودارها را بر پیشرفت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان دبیرستانی در درس علوم پایه در منطقه آموزشی Aguata از ایالت Anambra مقایسه کرد. دو سؤال پژوهش و سه فرضیه، این مطالعه را هدایت کردند. طرح پژوهش شبه‌آزمایشی اتخاذ شد. جامعه آماری شامل ۳۳۱۰ دانش‌آموز (۱۶۶۴ پسر و ۱۶۴۶ دختر) پایه دوم متوسطه اول (UB2) بود که برای سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵/۲۰۲۶ در ۳۹ مدرسه متوسطه دولتی منطقه آموزشی Aguata ایالت Anambra ثبت‌نام کرده بودند و نمونه‌ای متشکل از ۱۸۶ دانش‌آموز علوم پایه UB2 با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری چندمرحله‌ای انتخاب شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها، آزمون پیشرفت علوم پایه (BSAT) بود. این ابزار توسط سه نفر از خبرگان از نظر روایی صوری مورد تأیید قرار گرفت و شاخص پایایی ۰.۸۷ با استفاده از روش Kuder Richardson 20 به دست آمد. فرایند آزمایشی در مراحل مختلف اجرا شد و داده‌ها از طریق پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون با استفاده از BSAT جمع‌آوری گردید. تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از میانگین و تحلیل کوواریانس در سطح معناداری ۰.۰۵ انجام شد. یافته‌ها، از جمله، نشان داد که دانش‌آموزانی که مفاهیم علوم پایه را با استفاده از شبیه‌سازی‌های رایانه‌ای فراگرفته بودند، به طور معناداری نمرات بالاتری نسبت به دانش‌آموزانی که با استفاده از نمودارها آموزش دیده بودند، کسب کردند. دانش‌آموزان پسر که با شبیه‌سازی رایانه‌ای آموزش دیده بودند، میانگین نمرات پیشرفت کمی بالاتر از همتایان دختر خود داشتند، اما این تفاوت معنادار نبود. بر اساس یافته‌ها، پژوهش توصیه کرد که معلمان علوم پایه به طور منظم از شبیه‌سازی‌های رایانه‌ای در آموزش کلاسی استفاده کنند، زیرا این روش به طور معناداری پیشرفت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان در علوم پایه را بیش از نمودارها افزایش می‌دهد.

This study aims to examine the relationship between critical thinking dispositions and barriers to critical thinking of engineering students. The study is a correlational research. The population of the study includes all the students at the faculties of engineering in universities in Turkey and the sampling consists of 628 students from five different universities; Bartın, Karabük, Bozok, Bayburt and Süleyman Demirel. Convenience sampling was used to select the respondents. Two data collection tools were used in the study. The first one is the Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTD) and the second one is the Critical Thinking Barriers (CTB) scale. The collected data were analysed using SPSS 24 statistical analysis programme. The mean values were compared in terms of gender, grade, university and department. The critical thinking disposition scores of the students are high, whereas the scores of barriers to critical thinking are low. The mean scores in the Critical Thinking Barriers scale significantly differ in terms of gender and grade but not university and department. Also, critical thinking dispositions of students differ significantly with respect to universities but not gender, grade and department. Finally, a moderate, negative correlation (-0.54) is observed between CTB and CTD scores

This study aims to determine the informative text writing skills and reading comprehension achievement of third-year pre-service primary school teachers. For this purpose, a one-group pre-test-post-test design, a quasi-experimental model based on the quantitative method, was implemented. The study involved 58 third-year students in the Department of Primary Education who took the Life Sciences Teaching course during the 2025-2026 academic year. A convenience sampling method was used to select the participants of the study. Data were collected using the “Reading Comprehension Achievement Test” developed by Karabay (2012) and the “Informative Text Writing Performance Rating Scale” developed by Dölek and Hamzadayı (2022). The results of the analyses indicated that the teacher candidates exhibited “moderate” levels of informative text writing skills in the Life Sciences Teaching course. In addition, it was concluded that the informative text writing skills differed by gender, with female teacher candidates showing greater improvement than their male counterparts. Furthermore, the teacher candidates demonstrated “moderate” levels of reading comprehension skills. The results obtained regarding whether there was a difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the reading comprehension achievement of the teacher candidates suggest that their reading comprehension skills improved following the instructional and practice-based process.

هدف این پژوهش تعیین مهارت‌های نگارش متون اطلاعاتی و موفقیت درک مطلب دانشجویان سال سوم رشته آموزش ابتدایی است. بدین منظور، از طرح پیش‌آزمون-پس‌آزمون تک‌گروهی، به‌عنوان یک مدل شبه‌آزمایشی مبتنی بر روش کمی، استفاده شد. جامعه پژوهش شامل ۵۸ دانشجوی سال سوم گروه آموزش ابتدایی بود که در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵-۲۰۲۶ درس آموزش علوم تجربی را اخذ کرده بودند. روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس برای انتخاب شرکت‌کنندگان به‌کار رفت. داده‌ها با استفاده از «آزمون موفقیت درک مطلب» که توسط Karabay (2012) تدوین شده و «مقیاس ارزیابی عملکرد نگارش متون اطلاعاتی» که توسط Dölek و Hamzadayı (2022) توسعه یافته است، جمع‌آوری شد. نتایج تحلیل‌ها نشان داد که داوطلبان معلم در درس آموزش علوم تجربی از سطح «متوسط» مهارت‌های نگارش متون اطلاعاتی برخوردار بودند. همچنین، مشخص شد که مهارت‌های نگارش متون اطلاعاتی بر حسب جنسیت متفاوت است و داوطلبان معلم زن نسبت به مردان پیشرفت بیشتری داشتند. افزون بر این، داوطلبان معلم از سطح «متوسط» مهارت‌های درک مطلب برخوردار بودند. نتایج به‌دست‌آمده در خصوص تفاوت بین نمرات پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون موفقیت درک مطلب داوطلبان معلم حاکی از آن است که مهارت‌های درک مطلب آنان پس از فرایند آموزشی و مبتنی بر تمرین بهبود یافته است.
