Bullying, defending, and outsider behaviors: The moderating role of social status and gender in their relationship with empathy

2018

The aim of the present study was to examine whether the effect of empathy on the role children play in bullying situations, as either bullies, defenders or outsiders, was moderated by children's social status within their classroom, and whether this moderation was gender dependent. For this purpose, we used a representative sample of 2,050 Spanish primary school children (50.80% girls) from grades 3-6 (Mage = 9.80 years; SD = 1.24), recruited from 27 primary schools. Results showed that the effect of empathy on bullying behavior was moderated by the sociometric rating only in girls. Both empathy and social rating had an effect on defending behavior. However, neither the children's sociometr…

Construction of Group Exercise Sessions in Geriatric Inpatient Rehabilitation

2008

There is little knowledge about the ways geriatric physiotherapy is being carried out in practice and about the situational construction of formal policies for promoting physical activity. This article examines how professional physiotherapists and frail community-dwelling older adults as their clients use talk and action to construct a group exercise session in an inpatient rehabilitation setting in Finland. The analysis of 7 group exercise sessions with a total of 52 clients and 9 professional physiotherapists revealed 3 different practitioner approaches, which served different functions in older adults' empowerment and lifestyle activity change. The highly structured approach favored tac…

Teacher-student interaction and lower secondary school students’ situational engagement

2018

BACKGROUND Prior research has shown that engagement plays a significant role in students' academic learning. AIMS The present study sought to expand the current understanding of students' engagement by examining how situational engagement during a particular lesson is associated with the observed teacher-student classroom interactions (i.e., emotional support, instructional support, and classroom organization) in the same lesson. SAMPLE The participants were 709 Grade 7 students (47.7% girls) from 59 classrooms in 26 lower secondary schools and 51 teachers. METHODS The data consisted of 155 video-recorded lessons (90 language arts and 65 mathematics lessons) coded using the Classroom Assess…

The decision to search or not to search for work is usually considered a purely individual choice. However, this is a simplistic view, which ignores important structural and situational aspects of job search behaviour. This article discusses the reasons why long-term unemployed youth in Finland give up their search for work or a student place. The data comprise 28 life course interviews that were analysed by means of content analysis. The data show that young people’s job seeking behaviour is greatly influenced by how they view their labour market position and prospects. Job search abandonment is often temporary and young people soon resume their search because of the expectations of the so…

Means-end analysis: Does the affective state influence information processing style?

2004

Means-end theory aims at explaining how consumers evaluate products by linking relevant attributes to perceived consequences to desired ends in a hierarchical way, based on core assumptions of cognitive psychology about human information processing. This study investigates the influence of affective states on information processing styles in a means-end measurement situation, thus taking into account an important antecedent and correlate of human decision making and behavior that has received scarce attention so far in the methodological literature on means-end chains. The results reveal that a person's affective state indeed influences the style of information processing. Respondents in a …

The role of the store in managing postpurchase complaints for omnichannel shoppers

2020

Abstract This paper focuses on postpurchase complaint behavior to understand under which conditions omnichannel shoppers choose to complain at the physical store instead of doing it through online channels. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), we find that four different combinations of situational, channel-related, and individual variables lead to complaining at the store. The motivation of seeking redress together with assertiveness and high dissatisfaction, play an essential role in the choice of complaint channel. The channel of purchase is not determinant for the choice of the store to complain. These findings have implications in terms of redefining the role of th…

Metacognitive Awareness Teaching Tool Kit (MATTK). Reflective teaching for critical thinking and creativity development in classroom.

2016

Situation awareness has long been recognized as an important variable in teacher performance. Research to date has focused on identifying characteristics of situation awareness for individuals, not on the behaviors and processes associated with situation awareness. The purpose of this review is to delineate and identify characteristics of teacher metacognitive awareness. In addition, implications are discussed and research questions are outlined that target the measurement and training of situation awareness. The research has examined the positive correlation between the meta cognitive awareness of teachers and the development of two soft skills (critical thinking and creativity) in student…

2018

In environments experiencing fast technological change in which innovative performance is expected, work design research has found that the degree of autonomy positively predicts behavioral and attitudinal work outcomes. Because extant work design research has tended to examine the direct and mediating effects of autonomy on work outcomes such as job satisfaction, examinations of more situational elements and the degree to which the organizational context strengthens or weakens this relationship has been neglected. This study, therefore, takes a context-contingent perspective to investigate the degree to which psychological climate dimensions such as supervisor support, organizational struc…

Experience with palliative percutaneous nephrostomy in bladder cancer patients

1985

Minimal percutaneous nephrostomy as a palliative urinary diversion was performed in 50 patients with advanced bladder cancer disease. The average survival time was 6.6 months, with 38% of the patients alive after 6 months. Although 88% of the patients died within one year, 2 (5%) are still alive after more than 2 years. Each case of palliative diversion is an individual one, with many different factors influencing the decision. Prolonging life cannot be an indication for diversion. Percutaneous nephrostomy in combination with other percutaneous techniques provides the urologist with excellent therapeutic tools to avoid surgery in such emergency situations as uremia or local tumor symptoms. …
