Background Everyday stress and social inhibition are relevant to mental health during emerging adulthood. Daily psychological richness may help explain the temporal association between perceived stress and subsequent social inhibition. Methods In a 15-day diary study, 186 emerging adults provided 2,790 observations of perceived stress, psychological richness, and social inhibition. Perceived social support was assessed at the person level. Two-level dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) was used to examine lagged associations and cross-level moderation. Results Higher perceived stress was associated with lower psychological richness the following day [estimate = −0.588, 95% highest posterior density credible interval (HPD CrI) (−0.672, −0.501)]. Psychological richness was negatively associated with social inhibition on the subsequent day [estimate = −0.093, 95% HPD CrI (−0.108, −0.079)], and perceived stress showed a positive direct association with social inhibition 2 days later [estimate = 0.224, 95% HPD CrI (0.192, 0.257)]. Higher perceived social support was associated with weaker stress–richness and direct stress–inhibition associations. The credible interval for moderation of the richness–inhibition path included zero. The conditional indirect association was smaller at high than low support [difference = −0.040, 95% HPD CrI (−0.065, −0.016)]. Conclusion The findings identify a temporally ordered indirect association involving daily psychological richness and support-related differences in stress-linked pathways. They inform further research on everyday psychosocial experiences and social functioning among emerging adults.
Background As global aging accelerates, age-related psychophysiological conditions have emerged as major public health concerns. Promoting and sustaining vitality, an inherent human capacity, is essential for healthy aging and long-term well-being. The Mindfulness-based Vitality Promotion (MVP) program is a mindfulness-based behavioral intervention designed to enhance physical and psychological vitality and support sustainable well-being. This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the MVP program and explored preliminary pre–post changes in health-related outcomes among community-dwelling individuals in a lifelong learning setting. Methods This study employed a single-arm mixed-methods design. A total of 35 participants were recruited for this study. The MVP program was delivered over 8 weeks, with each session lasting 90 min. Quantitative data were collected through self-report questionnaires, and qualitative data were obtained via semi-structured interviews. Feasibility and acceptability were assessed based on program retention, session attendance, and participant satisfaction. Results Quantitative analysis revealed significant pre–post increases in integrative vitality and well-being, along with significant reductions in depression, fatigue, and anxiety. No statistically significant changes were observed in pain, sleep disturbance, digestive symptoms, anger, or mindfulness. Of the 35 enrolled participants, 31 completed the program (88.6%), with a mean attendance of 6.37 of eight sessions. Among the 30 satisfaction survey respondents, 28 (93.3%) indicated willingness to participate again and 30 (100%) indicated willingness to recommend the program to others. The qualitative analysis identified four major themes: (i) diverse life challenges and self-care needs, (ii) learning through experience, connection, and application, (iii) regaining balance and agency in life, and (iv) sustaining practice requires continued support. Conclusion Mixed-methods findings provide preliminary information regarding the feasibility and acceptability of the MVP program and indicate favorable pre–post changes in several self-reported health-related outcomes. The MVP program may represent a practical lifelong learning intervention with potential relevance for public health promotion. Further controlled studies are warranted to establish its efficacy. Trial registration The trial was first submitted to the Clinical Research Information Service, Republic of Korea (KCT0009961, https://cris.nih.go.kr/cris/search/detailSearch.do?seq=28524&search_page=L ), on October 8, 2024, before participant enrollment began, and registration was finalized on November 28, 2024.
The increasing participation of women in the workforce has been accompanied by growing professional and personal demands that may affect the psychological well-being of career women. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately 15% of the working-age population experiences mental health problems, while work-related pressures contribute to approximately 12 billion lost working days annually. These conditions highlight the importance of resilience as a psychological resource that enables career women to adapt, recover, and function effectively when facing workplace challenges. This study aimed to examine the predictive relationships of self-esteem and emotion regulation with resilience among career women. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed involving 200 career women in Semarang City, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring self-esteem, emotion regulation, and resilience on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 through the evaluation of the measurement model, structural model, and hypothesis testing using a bootstrapping procedure. The findings showed that self-esteem and emotion regulation were positive predictors of resilience among career women. Self-esteem demonstrated a relatively stronger contribution than emotion regulation, while the overall model explained part of the variance in resilience. These findings indicate that career women with more positive self-esteem and better emotion regulation tend to demonstrate greater resilience. The study highlights the importance of self-esteem and emotion regulation as psychological resources that may be considered in organizational programs aimed at supporting women's resilience, psychological well-being, and sustainable career development. ABSTRAK Meningkatnya partisipasi perempuan dalam dunia kerja diikuti dengan semakin kompleksnya tuntutan profesional dan kehidupan personal yang berpotensi memengaruhi kondisi psikologis wanita karier. Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO) melaporkan bahwa sekitar 15% penduduk usia produktif mengalami gangguan mental, sementara tekanan kerja menyebabkan hilangnya sekitar 12 miliar hari kerja setiap tahun. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya resiliensi agar wanita karier mampu bertahan, beradaptasi, dan bangkit dari berbagai tekanan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan prediktif self-esteem dan regulasi emosi dengan resiliensi pada wanita karier. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional melalui metode survei terhadap 200 wanita karier di Kota Semarang yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner yang mengukur self-esteem, regulasi emosi, dan resiliensi dengan skala Likert lima tingkat. Data dianalisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) dengan bantuan SmartPLS 4 melalui evaluasi model pengukuran, model struktural, dan pengujian hipotesis menggunakan prosedur bootstrapping. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self-esteem dan regulasi emosi merupakan prediktor positif terhadap resiliensi pada wanita karier. Self-esteem menunjukkan kontribusi yang relatif lebih kuat dibandingkan regulasi emosi, sedangkan model penelitian secara keseluruhan mampu menjelaskan sebagian variasi resiliensi. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa wanita karier dengan penghargaan diri yang lebih positif dan kemampuan regulasi emosi yang lebih baik cenderung memiliki resiliensi yang lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya self-esteem dan regulasi emosi sebagai sumber daya psikologis yang dapat dipertimbangkan dalam pengembangan program organisasi untuk mendukung resiliensi, kesejahteraan psikologis, dan keberlanjutan karier perempuan.
In modern scholarly perspectives on grieving, being saddened has been associated with bodily experience. Numbness, shaking, a heavy heart, and other physical symptoms are caused by the intense pain of loss. Most Western philosophies have increasingly focused on psychological models based on the idea of how the self adjusts to the devastating experience of losing a loved one, and this has received a lot of attention. To connect death, embodiment, self-identification, and psychological well-being, this conceptual article develops a mourning process from an Indigenous psychological perspective. This article proposes a psychological paradigm grounded in Indigenous contemplative knowledge through an interpretive analysis of the teachings of the Ashtavakra Gita. Rather than treating the Ashtavakra Gita solely as a philosophical or spiritual text, this article interprets it as an Indigenous psychological knowledge system offering culturally grounded insights into selfhood, attachment, suffering, and psychological well-being. The proposed Ashtavakra Witnessing Consciousness Model conceptualises grief as a five-stage, non-linear process involving embodied grief, existential crisis, meaning reframing, mortality acceptance, and witnessing consciousness, culminating in psychological well-being. This model shows how a traumatic incident can be transformed into a meaningful experience and a path to psychological well-being. Advaita Vedanta’s foundational text, the Ashtavakra Gita, presents a nondual viewpoint in which suffering arises from attachment to the body, ego, and interpersonal attachments. It distinguishes between witnessing consciousness and the short-lived embodied self. This psychological Model of Witnessing Consciousness offers an alternative understanding of control, attachment, suffering, and embodied grief, grounded in the Ashtavakra Gita. It highlights the psychological implications of developing the art of witnessing consciousness. This indigenous model of traditional knowledge has implications for existential, contemplative, and meaning-centred mourning therapies and adds a cross-cultural, psychological and philosophically informed perspective to bereavement research. The article explains how the five stages were derived from the text, illustrates the model with a composite case vignette, outlines clinical cautions against encouraging detachment prematurely, and sets out the model’s limitations and directions for empirical validation.
Background The first period of life shapes later life chances, but the economic consequences accumulate across later childhood, adolescence and adulthood and fall across several policy sectors. Existing reviews typically address one risk factor at a time, or focus on a restricted outcome domain, leaving the relevant evidence scattered. This umbrella review collates review-level evidence on how early childhood exposures affect later economic outcomes. Methods The review was registered on Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/szpx5/overview). Medline, APA PsycArticles, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Education Research Complete & Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection databases were searched in November 2025. Systematic, rapid, scoping, narrative and umbrella reviews were eligible if they examined early childhood exposures and later outcomes with measurable consequences for education, employment, income, criminal justice involvement, quality of life, wellbeing or service costs. Reviews reporting only health status outcomes, and those focused on low- and middle-income countries, were excluded. Two authors screened and extracted independently, and quality was appraised. Findings were synthesised narratively. Results Seventy-two reviews were included, published between 2001 and 2025 and increasingly since 2021. Adverse childhood experiences and related adversity were the most frequently examined exposures, followed by childhood physical health conditions, birth and perinatal factors, and neurodevelopmental and behavioural difficulties. Early years risk factors were consistently associated with poorer later education and employment, lower income and greater criminal justice involvement. Evidence on quality of life was mixed, and service use and costs were seldom reported. Few reviews addressed publication bias. Conclusion Difficulties experienced in the early years have consequences across several later life domains and public sectors. The evidence is most consistent for education and criminal justice involvement, and thinner for quality of life, service use and costs. Reviews rarely address correlations between risk factors or the pathways connecting them to later outcomes. Modelling these pathways and evaluating interventions to address early years risks are priorities. Limitations of the review were the inclusion of studies that covered a wide range of age groups and the exclusion of health outcomes.
This article analyzes the challenges and possibilities of incorporating socio-emotional competencies into teacher education, aiming to contribute to the development of an integrative and humanizing pedagogy. Based on a qualitative bibliographic review, recent studies (2020–2025) were examined, highlighting the impact of socio-emotional competencies on teacher well-being, student engagement, and the quality of pedagogical relationships. The findings indicate that, although theoretical and practical advances have been made, significant gaps remain in initial and continuing education curricula, which are still largely centered on technical and content-based models. The article argues for the urgent need for public policies, curricular guidelines, and formative practices that foster teachers' emotional development, recognizing its essential role in creating healthy school environments and promoting meaningful learning. It concludes that educating emotionally competent teachers is crucial for a more sensitive, ethical, and effective education.
این مقاله چالشها و امکانات ادغام شایستگیهای اجتماعی-هیجانی در آموزش معلمان را تحلیل میکند و هدف آن کمک به توسعه یک پداگوژی یکپارچه و انساندوستانه است. بر اساس یک مرور کتابشناختی کیفی، مطالعات اخیر (۲۰۲۰–۲۰۲۵) مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند که بر تأثیر شایستگیهای اجتماعی-هیجانی بر بهزیستی معلمان، مشارکت دانشآموزان و کیفیت روابط پداگوژیک تأکید دارند. یافتهها نشان میدهند که اگرچه پیشرفتهای نظری و عملی حاصل شده است، شکافهای قابلتوجهی در برنامههای درسی آموزش اولیه و مستمر باقی مانده است که همچنان عمدتاً بر مدلهای فنی و محتوامحور متمرکز هستند. این مقاله بر ضرورت فوری سیاستهای عمومی، راهنماهای برنامه درسی و عملکردهای تربیتی که توسعه هیجانی معلمان را تقویت میکنند، تأکید میورزد و نقش اساسی آنها را در ایجاد محیطهای مدرسه سالم و ترویج یادگیری معنادار به رسمیت میشناسد. این مقاله نتیجه میگیرد که تربیت معلمان دارای شایستگی هیجانی برای آموزشی حساستر، اخلاقیتر و کارآمدتر حیاتی است.
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.

This study explored the academic validation experiences of internal migrant college students and their implications for proposed psychosocial support activities. Specifically, it examined forms of academic validation, their influence on psychosocial well-being and academic persistence, and challenges in obtaining institutional support. Using a qualitative research design and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, the study examined interview accounts from eight internal migrant college students at Cavite State University–Main Campus during the academic year 2025–2026. Findings revealed that students experienced academic validation through faculty recognition, constructive feedback, peer encouragement, and academic achievements. Such experiences fostered motivation, confidence, belonging, and continued academic engagement. Conversely, limited recognition contributed to discouragement, self-doubt, and emotional distress. Participants also described homesickness, social isolation, language barriers, unfamiliar cultural practices, communication difficulties, and hesitation in seeking academic or emotional assistance. Despite these challenges, personal resilience, supportive classmates, and determination helped students adjust and persist in their studies. Based on the findings, the study proposed the BRIDGE Program, emphasizing peer mentoring, support circles, cultural integration, wellness activities, academic assistance, counseling, and opportunities for emotional expression. The study concluded that academic validation and accessible psychosocial support are important to the adjustment and educational persistence of internal migrant students. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Well-Being; Goal 4, Quality Education; and Goal 10, Reduced Inequalities. Its potential sustainability contribution lies in guiding inclusive institutional support practices that strengthen student welfare, social belonging, and equitable participation in higher education. These practices may also encourage more responsive and supportive campus communities.
Purpose: The present study aimed to examine the associations between anthropometric indexes derived from body measurements and body satisfaction.Methods: The study included voluntary female aged 19–64 years. The face-to-face questionnaire included questions on participants’ sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, educational level, marital status, employment status, and socioeconomic status), the Body Image Scale (BIS), and the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS). Anthropometric measurements were obtained by trained researchers in accordance with standardized procedures. Using measurements, anthropometric ratios and indices—waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), conicity index (CI), body shape index (BSI), abdominal volume index (AVI), and body adiposity index (BAI)—were calculated. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0.Results: A total of 1.291 female participated in the study, with a mean age of 36.8 ± 12.7 years. Scale scores varied significantly across participants’ sociodemographic characteristics (p
Pre-adolescence 9-12 years is a critical developmental period characterized by rapid biological, emotional, cognitive, and social changes that influence future mental health and well-being. Indian pre-adolescents increasingly encounter academic pressure, changing family dynamics, peer challenges, and extensive digital exposure, creating potential risks to emotional adjustment. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt positively to adversity and recover from challenging experiences, is an important protective factor during this formative stage. This article aims to examine the determinants and dimensions of resilience among Indian pre-adolescents and to propose a culturally relevant, integrated framework for promoting resilience across biological, psychological, social, and digital domains. This article highlights key factors that strengthen resilience, including emotional regulation, self-esteem, self-compassion, problem-solving skills, supportive parenting, positive school environments, healthy peer relationships, and community connectedness. Digital resilience is also emphasized, encompassing safe technology use, digital literacy, responsible online behavior, and adaptive coping with cyberbullying, online risks, and excessive screen exposure. Based on existing evidence and contextual insights, the integrated pre-adolescent resilience model (IPARM) is proposed, integrating biological, psychological, social, and digital dimensions. Resilience promotion strategies are discussed at individual, family, school, community, and healthcare levels, with nurses and other health professionals playing an important role in early identification of vulnerable children, mental health promotion, and implementation of resilience-building interventions. Strengthening resilience during pre-adolescence represents a valuable preventive mental health strategy. A holistic and culturally responsive approach can foster emotional competence, psychological well-being, adaptability, and healthy development, enabling Indian children to navigate contemporary challenges and develop into confident and resilient individuals.
Introduction Taking a positive education perspective, this study investigates the link between subjective well-being (SWB) and student engagement. Although many studies have found a positive link between the two multidimensional constructs, the literature lacks longitudinal analyses. Methods Based on the broaden-and-build theory and the upwards spiral hypothesis it was hypothesised that the dimensions of the two constructs would show bidirectional relationships. To test this, 1,762 fifth-grade students in Austria completed an online survey at two time points; the data were then analysed using a cross-lagged panel model with a three-factor model of SWB (positive affect, negative affect and life satisfaction) and a bifactorial model of student engagement (a general factor for student engagement and a specific factor for emotional engagement). Results Only one bidirectional relationship was found – between general student engagement and positive affect – but significant positive effects of both the general and specific student engagement factors at Time 1 on life satisfaction at Time 2 and of the specific engagement factor at Time 1 on positive affect at Time 2 were also identified. However, no significant relationships were found between either of the student engagement factors and negative affect. Conclusions Overall, the findings highlight the positive association between SWB and student engagement. Therefore, the results provide support for the upward spiral hypothesis and partial support for the broaden-and-build theory.
This longitudinal study examined the trajectories of healthcare workers’ mental health from the first to the second COVID-19 wave (May 2020–December 2020) in a Swiss tertiary hospital, and their association with individual and organizational factors. For each mental health outcome (depression, anxiety, peritraumatic stress, and well-being), a separate analysis identified two trajectories: one with higher, persistent levels of symptoms and one that was resilient, with low-level symptoms. The persistent trajectory comprised about 25%–30% of participants for anxiety, depression and peritraumatic stress and 47% for well-being; because the classifications were outcome-specific, membership differed across outcomes (about 15% of participants were on a persistent trajectory for all four outcomes and 46% resilient for all four). We found that women, nurses, caregivers, non-managerial employees, and frontline COVID-19 workers were more likely to follow a persistent trajectory. Organizational risk factors were a high workload and an irregular work schedule. These results provide a basis for implementing risk-adapted prevention measures and resilience-promotion programs to protect health workers from the impact of major crises. Future research should address the needs of vulnerable health workers to provide evidence-based health promotion.
Personal development is an essential component of counselor education because professional competence is closely associated with personal readiness and intrapersonal capacities. Self-compassion, psychological well-being, and spiritual well-being represent important dimensions of personal development among prospective counselors. However, studies integrating these three constructs within a personal development model in the Indonesian counselor education context remain limited. This study aimed to examine the structural relationships between personal development and self-compassion, psychological well-being, and spiritual well-being among prospective counselors in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model was assessed through outer loadings, composite reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE), and discriminant validity, while the structural model was evaluated using path coefficients, bootstrapping, R², and f². The results demonstrated positive and significant relationships between personal development and psychological well-being (β = 0.266, p = 0.017), self-compassion (β = 0.367, p < 0.001), and spiritual well-being (β = 0.321, p < 0.001). The strongest relationship was observed between personal development and self-compassion. However, the R² values indicated relatively low explanatory power, with personal development explaining 7.1% of psychological well-being, 13.5% of self-compassion, and 10.3% of spiritual well-being. These findings highlight the relevance of personal development in counselor education while indicating that these outcomes are influenced by additional factors beyond the proposed model.
Teacher wellbeing has become an increasingly important concern in sustainable education systems because teachers’ professional experiences influence instructional quality, organizational resilience, and the long-term capacity of schools to maintain supportive learning environments. Contemporary perspectives on educational sustainability emphasize that schools are sustainable not only through academic effectiveness but also through their ability to foster participation, professional recognition, supportive relationships, and psychological resources among teachers. Within this perspective, shared instructional leadership can be considered an organizational resource, while teacher job satisfaction represents an important psychological resource contributing to the human foundations of socially sustainable schools. This study examined the relationship between shared instructional leadership and teacher job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Northern Cyprus. A quantitative correlational research design was employed with 300 teachers working in public secondary schools during the 2024–2025 academic year. Data were collected using the Shared Instructional Leadership Scale and the Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between shared instructional leadership and teacher job satisfaction. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between shared instructional leadership and overall teacher job satisfaction ( r = 0.580, p < 0.001). Within this perspective, shared instructional leadership is conceptualized as an organizational resource, while teacher job satisfaction represents a psychological indicator of teachers’ positive professional experiences. ( β = 0.580, p < 0.001), explaining 33.4% of the variance in teacher job satisfaction ( R 2 = 0.334). Significant positive relationships were also found between shared instructional leadership and several dimensions of job satisfaction, including management, achievement–respect–recognition, interpersonal relationships, and the nature of teaching work. The findings suggest that shared instructional leadership may contribute to socially sustainable schooling by strengthening teachers’ professional recognition, relational experiences, and psychological resources. Although social sustainability was not directly measured in this study, the findings highlight leadership practices and teacher satisfaction as important organizational and psychological conditions supporting sustainable educational environments. This study contributes to educational sustainability and leadership literature by emphasizing the human dimension of sustainable schools within the underrepresented context of Northern Cyprus.
رفاه معلمان به عنوان یکی از دغدغههای فزاینده در نظامهای آموزشی پایدار مطرح شده است، زیرا تجارب حرفهای معلمان بر کیفیت آموزش، تابآوری سازمانی و ظرفیت بلندمدت مدارس برای حفظ محیطهای یادگیری حمایتی تأثیرگذار است. دیدگاههای معاصر درباره پایداری آموزشی تأکید میکنند که مدارس نه تنها از طریق اثربخشی تحصیلی، بلکه از طریق توانایی خود در تقویت مشارکت، شناسایی حرفهای، روابط حمایتی و منابع روانشناختی در میان معلمان پایدار میشوند. در این چارچوب، رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی به عنوان یک منبع سازمانی و رضایت شغلی معلمان به عنوان یک منبع روانشناختی مهم که به بنیانهای انسانی مدارس اجتماعی پایدار کمک میکند، در نظر گرفته میشود. این پژوهش به بررسی رابطه بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی معلمان در میان معلمان دبیرستانهای قبرس شمالی پرداخت. طرح پژوهش همبستگی کمی با مشارکت ۳۰۰ معلم شاغل در مدارس متوسطه دولتی در سال تحصیلی ۲۰۲۵–۲۰۲۴ اجرا شد. دادهها با استفاده از مقیاس رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و مقیاس رضایت شغلی معلمان گردآوری شد. برای بررسی رابطه بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی معلمان از آمار توصیفی، تحلیل همبستگی پیرسون و تحلیل رگرسیون خطی ساده استفاده شد. یافتهها نشان داد که بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و رضایت شغلی کلی معلمان رابطه مثبت معناداری وجود دارد (r = 0.580, p < 0.001). در این چارچوب، رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی به عنوان یک منبع سازمانی و رضایت شغلی معلمان به عنوان شاخص روانشناختی تجارب حرفهای مثبت معلمان مفهومسازی میشود (β = 0.580, p < 0.001) و ۳۳/۴ درصد از واریانس رضایت شغلی معلمان را تبیین میکند (R2 = 0.334). همچنین بین رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی و چندین بعد رضایت شغلی از جمله مدیریت، دستاورد–احترام–شناسایی، روابط بینفردی و ماهیت کار تدریس، روابط مثبت معناداری مشاهده شد. یافتهها نشان میدهد که رهبری آموزشی مشارکتی میتواند با تقویت شناسایی حرفهای، تجارب ارتباطی و منابع روانشناختی معلمان به پایداری اجتماعی مدارس کمک کند. اگرچه پایداری اجتماعی به طور مستقیم در این پژوهش سنجیده نشد، اما یافتهها بر اهمیت شیوههای رهبری و رضایت معلمان به عنوان شرایط سازمانی و روانشناختی مؤثر بر محیطهای آموزشی پایدار تأکید میکند. این پژوهش با تأکید بر بعد انسانی مدارس پایدار در زمینه کمتر بررسیشده قبرس شمالی، به ادبیات پایداری آموزشی و رهبری کمک میکند.
Despite the growing literature on first-generation students, limited research has examined how intersecting socioeconomic, cultural, linguistic, and institutional barriers shape the higher education experiences of first-generation Sama Indigenous students in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. Thus, this study investigated the socioeconomic challenges encountered by first-generation Indigenous Sama students pursuing higher education in Tawi-Tawi and examined how these challenges affect their academic performance and overall well-being. A qualitative case study design was employed. Seven fourth-year first-generation Sama undergraduate students enrolled in higher education institution in Tawi-Tawi were selected through purposive sampling based on ethnicity, first-generation status, final-year enrollment, and residency. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews lasting 45–58 minutes, audio-recorded with consent, transcribed, cleaned, and analyzed using a four-stage thematic coding process: initial coding, frequency count, categorization, and theme development. Addressing this gap, the study found four major challenges : financial and economic struggles, including poverty, job anxiety, and lack of scholarship support; academic and institutional challenges, such as heavy workloads, teacher-centered instruction, and literacy gaps; social and cultural factors, including language barriers, discrimination, and social comparison; and family and socioeconomic conditions, such as parental loss, limited income, and unstable housing. Impacts included spiritual and emotional strength as the primary coping mechanism, time-management struggles, career aspirations, health decline, and mental health strain. The findings underscore the need for targeted financial assistance, culturally responsive academic support, inclusive teacher training, and stronger collaboration among educational institutions, government agencies, and community leaders to improve retention, academic success, and well-being among first-generation Indigenous students in marginalized island communities.
با وجود افزایش پژوهشها درباره دانشجویان نسل اول، تحقیقات محدودی به بررسی چگونگی تأثیر تلاقی موانع اقتصادی، فرهنگی، زبانی و نهادی بر تجارب آموزش عالی دانشجویان بومی ساما نسل اول در تاوی-تاوی، فیلیپین پرداختهاند. بنابراین، این مطالعه به بررسی چالشهای اقتصادی-اجتماعی پیشروی دانشجویان بومی ساما نسل اول که در تاوی-تاوی به تحصیلات عالی میپردازند، و تأثیر این چالشها بر عملکرد تحصیلی و بهزیستی کلی آنان پرداخت. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی و طرح مطالعه موردی انجام شد. هفت دانشجوی کارشناسی سال چهارم نسل اول ساما که در یک مؤسسه آموزش عالی در تاوی-تاوی ثبتنام کرده بودند، با نمونهگیری هدفمند بر اساس قومیت، وضعیت نسل اول، ثبتنام در سال پایانی و محل سکونت انتخاب شدند. دادهها از طریق مصاحبههای نیمهساختاریافته به مدت ۴۵ تا ۵۸ دقیقه جمعآوری شد که با رضایت شرکتکنندگان ضبط صوتی، رونویسی، پاکسازی و با استفاده از فرایند کدگذاری چهار مرحلهای شامل کدگذاری اولیه، شمارش فراوانی، دستهبندی و توسعه تمها تحلیل گردید. این مطالعه با پرداختن به این خلأ، چهار چالش عمده را شناسایی کرد: مشکلات مالی و اقتصادی از جمله فقر، اضطراب شغلی و فقدان حمایت بورسیه؛ چالشهای تحصیلی و نهادی مانند حجم بالای کار، آموزش معلممحور و شکافهای سواد؛ عوامل اجتماعی و فرهنگی شامل موانع زبانی، تبعیض و مقایسه اجتماعی؛ و شرایط خانوادگی و اقتصادی-اجتماعی مانند فقدان والدین، درآمد محدود و مسکن ناپایدار. پیامدها شامل قدرت معنوی و عاطفی به عنوان راهبرد اصلی مقابله، مشکلات مدیریت زمان، آرزوهای شغلی، افت سلامت و فشار روانی بود. یافتهها بر ضرورت حمایت مالی هدفمند، پشتیبانی تحصیلی متناسب با فرهنگ، آموزش فراگیر معلمان و همکاری قویتر میان مؤسسات آموزشی، نهادهای دولتی و رهبران جامعه برای بهبود ماندگاری، موفقیت تحصیلی و بهزیستی دانشجویان بومی نسل اول در جوامع جزیرهای محروم تأکید دارد.
Background Suicidal behaviors among adolescents are a serious global public health concern and are closely linked to both mental health and everyday lifestyle behaviors. Suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts lie along a spectrum of increasing severity. However, how psychological distress and health-related behaviors interact to influence suicide risk is complex and not yet fully understood. This study aimed to identify key mental health and lifestyle factors associated with different stages of adolescent suicidal behaviors using interpretable machine learning methods. Methods Data were obtained from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS), a nationally representative survey of U.S. high school students. After data cleaning and multiple imputation, 16,946 adolescents aged 14–18 years were included in the analysis. Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models were developed to predict suicidal ideation, suicide planning, and suicide attempts. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and related metrics. Feature importance was examined using gain-based measures, while SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) and partial dependence plots were used to explore the direction, strength, and nonlinear effects of key predictors. Results All three XGBoost models showed satisfactory predictive performance. Mental health factors, particularly persistent feelings of sadness and self-rated mental health, were the strongest predictors across all stages of suicidal behaviors. Lifestyle behaviors, including sleep duration, physical activity, diet, screen time, and substance use, also contributed meaningfully to risk prediction, although their relative importance differed by outcome. SHAP analyses indicated that greater sadness and poorer mental health were strongly associated with higher suicide risk, whereas adequate sleep and higher levels of physical activity were associated with lower predicted risk. Substance use, including alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use, played an important role in predicting suicide attempts than suicidal ideation or planning. Partial dependence analyses showed nonlinear and threshold effects, especially for sadness, mental health status, and sleep duration. Conclusion Mental health factors, especially persistent sadness and overall psychological well-being, were among the most prominent factors associated with suicidal behaviors among adolescents, while lifestyle behaviors showed important and stage-specific associations. Interpretable machine learning approaches help identify complex and nonlinear patterns associated with adolescent suicide risk and offer valuable insights to guide targeted, evidence-based prevention efforts.
زمینه: رفتارهای خودکشی در میان نوجوانان یک نگرانی جدی بهداشت عمومی در سطح جهانی است و ارتباط نزدیکی با سلامت روان و رفتارهای سبک زندگی روزمره دارد. افکار خودکشی، برنامهریزی و اقدام به خودکشی در طیفی با شدت فزاینده قرار دارند. با این حال، نحوه تعامل پریشانی روانشناختی و رفتارهای مرتبط با سلامت برای تأثیرگذاری بر خطر خودکشی پیچیده بوده و هنوز به طور کامل درک نشده است. هدف این مطالعه شناسایی عوامل کلیدی سلامت روان و سبک زندگی مرتبط با مراحل مختلف رفتارهای خودکشی در نوجوانان با استفاده از روشهای یادگیری ماشین قابل تفسیر بود. روشها: دادهها از سیستم پایش رفتارهای پرخطر نوجوانان (YRBS) در سال 2021، که یک پیمایش ملی نماینده از دانشآموزان دبیرستانی ایالات متحده است، به دست آمد. پس از پاکسازی دادهها و برآورد چندگانه، 16,946 نوجوان 14 تا 18 ساله در تحلیل وارد شدند. مدلهای Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) برای پیشبینی افکار خودکشی، برنامهریزی خودکشی و اقدام به خودکشی توسعه یافتند. عملکرد مدل با استفاده از مساحت زیر منحنی مشخصه عملکرد گیرنده (AUC) و معیارهای مرتبط ارزیابی شد. اهمیت ویژگیها با استفاده از معیارهای مبتنی بر gain بررسی شد و برای بررسی جهت، شدت و اثرات غیرخطی پیشبینهای کلیدی از SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) و نمودارهای وابستگی جزئی استفاده گردید. یافتهها: هر سه مدل XGBoost عملکرد پیشبینی رضایتبخشی نشان دادند. عوامل سلامت روان، به ویژه احساسات مداوم غمگینی و ارزیابی ذهنی سلامت روان، قویترین پیشبینها در تمام مراحل رفتارهای خودکشی بودند. رفتارهای سبک زندگی شامل مدت خواب، فعالیت بدنی، رژیم غذایی، زمان استفاده از صفحه نمایش و مصرف مواد نیز به طور معناداری در پیشبینی خطر نقش داشتند، اگرچه اهمیت نسبی آنها بسته به پیامد متفاوت بود. تحلیلهای SHAP نشان داد که غمگینی بیشتر و سلامت روان ضعیفتر به طور قوی با افزایش خطر خودکشی مرتبط است، در حالی که خواب کافی و سطوح بالاتر فعالیت بدنی با کاهش خطر پیشبینیشده همراه بودند. مصرف مواد، از جمله مصرف الکل، سیگار و ماریجوانا، نقش مهمتری در پیشبینی اقدام به خودکشی نسبت به افکار یا برنامهریزی خودکشی داشت. تحلیلهای وابستگی جزئی اثرات غیرخطی و آستانهای را به ویژه برای غمگینی، وضعیت سلامت روان و مدت خواب نشان داد. نتیجهگیری: عوامل سلامت روان، به ویژه غمگینی مداوم و بهزیستی روانشناختی کلی، از برجستهترین عوامل مرتبط با رفتارهای خودکشی در نوجوانان بودند، در حالی که رفتارهای سبک زندگی نیز ارتباطات مهم و مرحلهمحور نشان دادند. رویکردهای یادگیری ماشین قابل تفسیر به شناسایی الگوهای پیچیده و غیرخطی مرتبط با خطر خودکشی نوجوانان کمک میکنند و بینشهای ارزشمندی برای هدایت تلاشهای پیشگیرانه هدفمند و مبتنی بر شواهد ارائه میدهند.
Background: Parent–child separations have been associated with adverse health and well-being, with most research focusing on prolonged separations driven by war, famine or disease. Verschickungskinder (‘sent-away children’) – the eight to twelve million German children who, in the decades following World War II, were separated from their families for several weeks to stay in so-called children’s health resorts – represent a largely overlooked case of short-term separation. Despite growing recognition of adverse experiences and abuse in these settings, little is known about the long-term mental health of this population or which characteristics of the sent-away experience are associated with these outcomes.Objective: To examine whether sent-away children show more depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and stress overload compared with peers, and to identify which characteristics of the sent-away experience are associated with these outcomes.Method: An anonymous online survey was conducted with 334 sent-away children and 77 participants in a convenience comparison group (M = 61.1 yrs.; 72.7% female). Linear regression models, adjusting for ACEs and sociodemographics, examined group differences and associations between characteristics of the sent-away experience (age at separation, sex, number of separations, emotional memory) and these outcomes.Results: Sent-away children reported more depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and stress overload than comparison participants (all p < .001). Bivariate comparisons among the sent-away children indicated that younger age at separation was associated with more depressive symptoms, repeated separations with higher stress overload, and very negative memories with all three outcomes; no sex differences were observed. When entered simultaneously in regression models, emotional memory of the event was the only sent-away characteristic associated with depressive (p = .02) and anxiety symptoms (p = .009).Conclusions: Findings highlight the potential long-term mental health relevance of the sent-away experience, particularly among those with very negative memories of their experiences.
زمینه: جدایی والد–کودک با پیامدهای نامطلوب سلامت و بهزیستی همراه بوده است و بیشتر پژوهشها بر جداییهای طولانیمدت ناشی از جنگ، قحطی یا بیماری تمرکز داشتهاند. کودکان Verschickungskinder («کودکان فرستادهشده») – هشت تا دوازده میلیون کودک آلمانی که در دهههای پس از جنگ جهانی دوم برای چندین هفته از خانوادههای خود جدا شده و در بهاصطلاح آسایشگاههای سلامت کودکان اقامت داشتند – نمونهای عمدتاً نادیدهگرفتهشده از جدایی کوتاهمدت هستند. با وجود افزایش شناخت نسبت به تجارب نامطلوب و سوءاستفاده در این محیطها، اطلاعات اندکی درباره سلامت روانی بلندمدت این جمعیت یا ویژگیهای تجربه جدایی که با این پیامدها مرتبط است، وجود دارد. هدف: بررسی اینکه آیا کودکان فرستادهشده علائم افسردگی، علائم اضطراب و اضافهبار استرس بیشتری نسبت به همتایان خود نشان میدهند و شناسایی ویژگیهای تجربه جدایی که با این پیامدها مرتبط است. روش: یک پیمایش آنلاین ناشناس با ۳۳۴ کودک فرستادهشده و ۷۷ شرکتکننده در گروه مقایسهای در دسترس (میانگین سنی = ۶۱/۱ سال؛ ۷۲/۷٪ زن) انجام شد. مدلهای رگرسیون خطی با کنترل ACEs و متغیرهای جمعیتشناختی، تفاوتهای گروهی و ارتباط بین ویژگیهای تجربه جدایی (سن در زمان جدایی، جنسیت، تعداد دفعات جدایی، حافظه هیجانی) و این پیامدها را بررسی کردند. یافتهها: کودکان فرستادهشده علائم افسردگی، علائم اضطراب و اضافهبار استرس بیشتری نسبت به شرکتکنندگان گروه مقایسه گزارش کردند (همه p < ۰/۰۰۱). مقایسههای دو متغیره در میان کودکان فرستادهشده نشان داد که سن پایینتر در زمان جدایی با علائم افسردگی بیشتر، جداییهای مکرر با اضافهبار استرس بالاتر و خاطرات بسیار منفی با هر سه پیامد مرتبط بود؛ تفاوتی از نظر جنسیت مشاهده نشد. زمانی که این متغیرها به طور همزمان در مدلهای رگرسیون وارد شدند، حافظه هیجانی رویداد تنها ویژگی تجربه جدایی بود که با علائم افسردگی (p = ۰/۰۲) و علائم اضطراب (p = ۰/۰۰۹) ارتباط داشت. نتیجهگیری: یافتهها بر اهمیت بالقوه بلندمدت سلامت روانی تجربه جدایی، بهویژه در میان افرادی که خاطرات بسیار منفی از این تجربه دارند، تأکید میکند.
Background The status of women and girls is a multidimensional construct involving social, economic, political, and cultural factors related to gender inequalities, empowerment, and well-being. However, differences in conceptual frameworks, indicators, and methodologies limit the comparability of existing assessments. This study aimed to identify the approaches, indicators, methodologies, analytical tools, and applications used in the scientific literature for assessing women’s status. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Studies were retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science without time restrictions. After applying eligibility criteria and completing the identification, screening, and selection processes, 39 studies were included. Data analysis was supported by Microsoft Excel, RStudio, and VOSviewer to identify patterns and synthesize evidence. Results The findings show considerable methodological diversity in multidimensional index construction. Social independence was the most frequently reported indicator category, followed by socioeconomic status, decision-making, and psychological agency. The SWPER methodology was the most commonly applied approach, followed by principal component analysis and factor analysis. The main evaluated dimensions were social independence, agency development, and decision-making, while multilevel modelling and regression analysis were the most frequently used analytical tools. Research was concentrated mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Bangladesh. Conclusions Multidimensional indices provide relevant frameworks for assessing women’s status and supporting evidence-based policies. Nevertheless, methodological heterogeneity highlights the need for standardized criteria for indicator selection, weighting, and validation. Future research should expand geographical coverage and incorporate advanced analytical approaches to strengthen gender equality monitoring.
زمینه: وضعیت زنان و دختران یک سازه چندبعدی است که عوامل اجتماعی، اقتصادی، سیاسی و فرهنگی مرتبط با نابرابریهای جنسیتی، توانمندسازی و بهزیستی را دربرمیگیرد. با این حال، تفاوتها در چارچوبهای مفهومی، شاخصها و روششناسیها، قابلیت مقایسه ارزیابیهای موجود را محدود میکند. هدف این مطالعه شناسایی رویکردها، شاخصها، روششناسیها، ابزارهای تحلیلی و کاربردهای مورد استفاده در ادبیات علمی برای ارزیابی وضعیت زنان بود. روشها: مرور نظاممند ادبیات مطابق با دستورالعملهای PRISMA 2020 انجام شد. مطالعات از پایگاههای Scopus و Web of Science بدون محدودیت زمانی بازیابی شدند. پس از اعمال معیارهای شایستگی و تکمیل فرایندهای شناسایی، غربالگری و انتخاب، ۳۹ مطالعه وارد شدند. تحلیل دادهها با استفاده از Microsoft Excel، RStudio و VOSviewer برای شناسایی الگوها و سنتز شواهد انجام شد. نتایج: یافتهها تنوع روششناختی قابل توجهی را در ساخت شاخصهای چندبعدی نشان میدهد. استقلال اجتماعی بیشترین فراوانی را در میان دستههای شاخصها داشت و پس از آن وضعیت اجتماعیاقتصادی، تصمیمگیری و عاملیت روانشناختی قرار گرفتند. روششناسی SWPER رایجترین رویکرد مورد استفاده بود و پس از آن تحلیل مؤلفههای اصلی و تحلیل عاملی قرار داشتند. ابعاد اصلی ارزیابیشده شامل استقلال اجتماعی، توسعه عاملیت و تصمیمگیری بودند، در حالی که مدلسازی چندسطحی و تحلیل رگرسیون بیشترین کاربرد را در ابزارهای تحلیلی داشتند. پژوهشها عمدتاً در آفریقای جنوب صحرا و بنگلادش متمرکز بودند. نتیجهگیری: شاخصهای چندبعدی چارچوبهای مرتبطی برای ارزیابی وضعیت زنان و حمایت از سیاستهای مبتنی بر شواهد فراهم میکنند. با این حال، ناهمگونی روششناختی بر ضرورت وجود معیارهای استاندارد برای انتخاب، وزندهی و اعتبارسنجی شاخصها تأکید دارد. پژوهشهای آتی باید پوشش جغرافیایی را گسترش داده و رویکردهای تحلیلی پیشرفته را برای تقویت پایش برابری جنسیتی به کار گیرند.
This study examines how emotional intelligence (EI) affects work–life balance (WLB), job satisfaction, and work engagement among Lebanese employees, drawing on the job demands–resources (JD–R) and spillover theories. Data were collected through an online survey from 244 Lebanese employees and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that emotional intelligence positively predicts job satisfaction (β = 0.366, p < 0.001) and work engagement (β = 0.307, p < 0.001). Emotional intelligence also significantly predicts work–life balance (β = 0.251, p < 0.001). Furthermore, work–life balance and job satisfaction sequentially mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence and work engagement (indirect effect β = 0.046, p = 0.008), indicating partial mediation. These findings highlight the complementary roles of personal resources (emotional intelligence) and contextual resources (work–life balance) in shaping employee attitudes and behaviors. This research contributes to the limited literature and extends the study of emotional intelligence and employee well-being by offering fresh insights and practical implications. The research concludes with recommendations for policymakers by emphasizing the importance of aligning employee needs with organizational goals to create more effective and human-centered workplace policies. The study also includes limitations and recommendations for future research.
این مطالعه به بررسی تأثیر هوش هیجانی (EI) بر تعادل کار–زندگی (WLB)، رضایت شغلی و درگیری شغلی در میان کارکنان لبنانی میپردازد و از نظریههای تقاضا–منابع شغلی (JD–R) و سرریز بهره میگیرد. دادهها از طریق یک پرسشنامه آنلاین از ۲۴۴ نفر از کارکنان لبنانی جمعآوری و با استفاده از مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری حداقل مربعات جزئی (PLS-SEM) تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که هوش هیجانی به طور مثبت رضایت شغلی (β = ۰.۳۶۶، p < ۰.۰۰۱) و درگیری شغلی (β = ۰.۳۰۷، p < ۰.۰۰۱) را پیشبینی میکند. همچنین، هوش هیجانی به طور معناداری تعادل کار–زندگی (β = ۰.۲۵۱، p < ۰.۰۰۱) را پیشبینی میکند. افزون بر این، تعادل کار–زندگی و رضایت شغلی به صورت متوالی رابطه بین هوش هیجانی و درگیری شغلی را میانجیگری میکنند (اثر غیرمستقیم β = ۰.۰۴۶، p = ۰.۰۰۸) که نشاندهنده میانجیگری جزئی است. این یافتهها نقشهای مکمل منابع فردی (هوش هیجانی) و منابع زمینهای (تعادل کار–زندگی) را در شکلدهی نگرشها و رفتارهای کارکنان برجسته میکند. این پژوهش به ادبیات محدود موجود افزوده و مطالعه هوش هیجانی و بهزیستی کارکنان را با ارائه بینشهای نو و پیامدهای عملی گسترش میدهد. پژوهش با ارائه توصیههایی برای سیاستگذاران و تأکید بر اهمیت همسویی نیازهای کارکنان با اهداف سازمانی به منظور ایجاد سیاستهای محیط کار مؤثرتر و انسانمحور به پایان میرسد. همچنین، محدودیتها و پیشنهادهایی برای پژوهشهای آتی ارائه شده است.
INTRODUCTION: The PEACE Pack, originally devised to address bullying in secondary (high) schools, has demonstrated efficacy in several countries. The 4th edition now includes social-emotional learning and has been adapted (co-designed with teachers and students) for primary (elementary) schools, but not previously evaluated with this younger age group. As many young people now acquire personal phones at this age, it covers cyberbullying as well as 'traditional' bullying. METHODS: This effectiveness study evaluated the program with 826 students (mean age 9.7 years) in Australia. Wellbeing (level of happiness and number of good friends), frequency of being bullied, and self-efficacy for coping with bullying were measured before and after the program and at 3-month follow-up. RESULTS: A large effect was found for reduction in bullying frequency for the most severely affected students (bullied once a week or more often before the program, being a quarter of the sample). The percentage of this subsample still being bullied this frequently at 3-month follow-up was 33.4%, a reduction of 66.6%. Most other effects of the program were statistically significant but very small, although there was a general pattern of significant linear trends towards 'improvement'. No evidence was found for a suggested 'healthy context paradox'. CONCLUSIONS: The PEACE Pack, as modified for primary school students, strongly reduced bullying frequency for the most severely affected students, indicating that the program was fulfilling its core function. In general, other measures improved slightly after the program and were sustained or still improving at the 3-month follow-up. SO WHAT?: The PEACE Pack shows promise as a primary-school anti-bullying program that has sustained effects. It includes cyberbullying and social-emotional learning and is designed to be engaging for all students. Being curriculum-based, it stands to benefit from students' relationships with their regular teachers within the broader school context.
مقدمه: بسته PEACE که در ابتدا برای مقابله با قلدری در مدارس متوسطه طراحی شده بود، اثربخشی خود را در چندین کشور نشان داده است. ویرایش چهارم این بسته اکنون شامل یادگیری اجتماعی-هیجانی است و با همکاری معلمان و دانشآموزان برای مدارس ابتدایی سازگار شده است، اما پیشتر در این گروه سنی ارزیابی نشده بود. با توجه به اینکه بسیاری از کودکان در این سن تلفن همراه شخصی دارند، این بسته علاوه بر قلدری «سنتی»، قلدری سایبری را نیز پوشش میدهد. روشها: این مطالعه اثربخشی، برنامه را بر روی ۸۲۶ دانشآموز (میانگین سنی ۹.۷ سال) در استرالیا ارزیابی کرد. بهزیستی (سطح شادی و تعداد دوستان خوب)، فراوانی تجربه قلدری و خودکارآمدی در مقابله با قلدری، پیش و پس از برنامه و همچنین در پیگیری سهماهه اندازهگیری شد. نتایج: کاهش قابل توجهی در فراوانی قلدری برای دانشآموزانی که بیشترین آسیب را دیده بودند (افرادی که پیش از برنامه حداقل هفتهای یک بار مورد قلدری قرار میگرفتند و یکچهارم نمونه را تشکیل میدادند) مشاهده شد. درصد این زیرنمونه که در پیگیری سهماهه همچنان با این فراوانی مورد قلدری قرار میگرفتند، ۳۳.۴٪ بود که کاهش ۶۶.۶٪ را نشان میدهد. سایر اثرات برنامه از نظر آماری معنادار اما بسیار کوچک بودند، هرچند الگوی کلی روند خطی معنادار به سوی «بهبود» مشاهده شد. هیچ شواهدی برای «پارادوکس زمینه سالم» پیشنهادی یافت نشد. نتیجهگیری: بسته PEACE که برای دانشآموزان دبستانی اصلاح شده است، فراوانی قلدری را برای دانشآموزانی که بیشترین آسیب را دیدهاند به طور قابل توجهی کاهش داد و نشان داد که برنامه در انجام وظیفه اصلی خود موفق بوده است. به طور کلی، سایر شاخصها پس از برنامه اندکی بهبود یافتند و این بهبودها در پیگیری سهماهه حفظ یا همچنان در حال افزایش بودند. اهمیت: بسته PEACE به عنوان یک برنامه ضد قلدری در مدارس ابتدایی که اثرات پایداری دارد، امیدبخش است. این بسته قلدری سایبری و یادگیری اجتماعی-هیجانی را نیز در بر میگیرد و به گونهای طراحی شده است که برای همه دانشآموزان جذاب باشد. با توجه به اینکه مبتنی بر برنامه درسی است، میتواند از روابط دانشآموزان با معلمان معمول خود در بستر کلی مدرسه بهرهمند شود.
