Career adaptability is a widespread concept that is embedded in the career construction theory, the essence of which is that the individual integrates their professional self-image into their career during career development. The relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction among university students has not yet been clarified. Perceived career barriers occur due to the rapid changes and developments on a global scale expose all individuals to ongoing problems and barriers which they may not be able to cope with. These barriers can be interpreted subjectively, that is, what represents a barrier for an individual, may not be one for another. This study examining the relationship between career adaptability and life satisfaction and the perceived barriers with potentially mediating effects. A total of 562 students from the psychology and special education faculty were surveyed. Results show that career adaptability predicts life satisfaction, moreover, this relationship is mediated by perceived career barriers and coping efficacy of perceived career barriers. The aim of the research was to gain a clearer picture of university students’ career development, and to help the work of career counseling centers, which aim at reducing attrition rate. The results suggest that it is worthwhile to increase career adaptability and to identify perceived barriers to facilitate a smoother career development process.

Several factors have been offered to explain depressing economic development levels in Africa. The factors include colonial legacy, social pluralism, and its centrifugal tendencies, corrupt leaders, and limited inflow of foreign capital. While Lesotho shares some of the above challenges, it is more homogenous in terms of ethnicity, a remarkable departure from most African countries, south of the Sahara. Notwithstanding the insulation from inter-ethnic squabbles, Lesotho is not faring better in economic development due to internal conflicts within elite ranks for political power reminiscent of what is in other parts of Africa, albeit not on ethno-linguistic or cultural lines. This intra elite conflict has largely not been interrogated as a bane to development in Lesotho. This work makes use of prebendalism theory. Methodologically, the work used secondary data. The temporal scope is from 1993 to 2018. It is deduced that elite conflict has impacted negatively economic development in Lesotho.

Previous research results indicate visual information processing asymmetry in case of visual verbal stimuli. However, other studies that investigate nonverbal stimuli processing show inconsistent effect of laterality. Although differences between left- and right-handers can be found in tasks that involve letters, spatial attention stimuli and visuomotor control performance, the differences between the two groups almost disappear in several directional preference tasks, suggesting that direction preference is influenced mainly by writing and reading habits. Perceiving visual art involves visual attention, that is driven by the bottom-up aspects of the visual stimuli, therefore perception of nonverbal images, that contain geometrical forms might be influenced by handedness. To assess the possible differences in visual symmetry- asymmetry preference, university students (N = 65) were divided into two groups based on handedness, and as a measurement we used simple- complex- symmetrical and asymmetrical geometrical forms. Our main result shows a significant effect of stimuli complexity on symmetry-asymmetry preference. The interaction effect between handedness and symmetry-asymmetry type was not significant. After conducting a pairwise comparison our results show that right-handers evaluate simple and complex symmetrical forms as more preferable than simple and complex asymmetrical forms. We also found that there is a preference for symmetry over asymmetry in both groups, however these differences are significant only in the right-handed group. We conclude that preference for symmetrical geometrical forms is not influenced by handedness, however preference for complexity is affected by right-handedness. To extend these results, further investigations are needed.

This article interrogates what inspires the resurgence of ethno-regional political party loyalty in contemporary Gambian politics. It explores the relationship between ethnicity/regionalism and political party affiliation and the possible impact of ethnic politics on ideal democratic ethos and development in the small West African state. The article demonstrates how people sought security to reduce the uncertainty they face in a seemingly competitive and hostile world through the invocation of firm lost values as a way to rebuild a life in which they can achieve emotional and perhaps, physical safety. The study adopts a qualitative method of data collection, using a purposive sampling technique to select a sample size of 30; it relied extensively, inter alia, on the use of primary data obtained from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) The Gambia, and as well as secondary data sources. The study reveals that ethno-regionalism continues to influence partisan loyalty and thus electoral outcomes in The Gambia. It further reveals that the turbulent pre and immediate post-2016 Presidential election of The Gambia resulted in ethnic motivated political party loyalty, fear of violent reprisals, and accusatory rhetoric. This in a way, resulted from political elites' exploit of people's ethnic consciousness in an attempt to oust President Jammeh in 2016. The split-over effect of this continues to jeopardise the corporate existence of various identities in the country and strain efforts to build a peaceful, harmonious, and prosperous Gambia.

The purpose of this paper is to determine what motivates generation Z at work. We adopt qualitative research method where we analyze the statements of 317 respondents. Voyant Tools, a web-based text analysis tool is employed. We adopted a three-pronged approach to analyze the data- cyrrus cloud analysis, collocate graph analysis, and principal component analysis represented as scatter plot. The cyrrus cloud analysis revealed the most frequently occurring key words in the corpus- ‘work, ‘people’, ‘job, ‘money’, and ‘learning’. This analysis indicates the most important factors that motivate generation Z. The collocate graph analysis revealed major underlying themes of motivation- ‘work’, ‘job’, and ‘people’ to explain how each of these factors motivate employees. Finally, the principal component analysis explains the interactions between these themes- ‘work’, ‘job’, and ‘people’ to comprehensively explain motivation of generation z workers. Implications for theory and practice are presented.

Dysfunctional career decision-making beliefs (DCB) impede career decision making (CDM) process in several ways. This study proposes to delineate the profiles of two career-specific dysfunctional beliefs, fate (FB) and criticality of decision (CB) through their differential effects on career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) in undergraduate students. A sample of 157 undergraduate students (aged M = 21.07, SD = 1.78, 87.2% female) completed the fate and criticality beliefs subscales of Dysfunctional Career Decision-Making Beliefs Scale, Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale and Career Satisfaction Scale. Two-step cluster analyses was provided for delineating the profiles of combined variables of fate and criticality beliefs. As the result, four clusters emerged: criticality of decision beliefs (CB), fate beliefs (FB), negotiable fate beliefs (NFB) and no dysfunctional beliefs (NB) group. Clusters did not differ in terms of gender, age, GPA or career satisfaction. The profiles of DCB did not differ in CDSE; statistically significant group differences were only found for career goal selection. More specifically, FB group showed significantly less self-efficacy in setting their career goals as compared to CB or NFB groups. Results indicate that dysfunctional fate beliefs are associated with low perceived self-efficacy regarding the selection of goals in the process of career decision-making. However, the effect of FBs can be buffered by CBs, dysfunctional of their kind, suggesting that negotiable FBs have a more favourable effect on career related goal selection self-efficacy as they draw back the process of CDM under personal influence.

In order to define and determine the meaning of a notion, its use in the natural language is a valuable source of information. Analyses aimed at understanding the meaning of a particular expression include the observation of its connotations. It is assumed that each meaningful word in a language is characterised by a set of semantic connotations and these connotations are a product of the experiences that are communicated by the use of the word. The term “beauty” is one of the most complex and multidimensional words. The study concentrates on the identification of its connotations in the natural language of 1,558 users aged 19 to 89 years (mean age = 45.23; SD = 16.33 years); there were slightly more women in the sample (52.7%). The most frequent connotation of the notion of beauty was nature, followed by woman, love, family, and child (the connotations occurred in more than 15 % of the language users in the observed sample). Most of the connotations (93.7 %) were nouns, which testifies to the substantive character of the notion of beauty. The content analysis of the connotations revealed seven areas to which they related – nature, values, feelings, people, objects, abstract ideas, and activities. Deeper analyses pointed to the necessity to study the possible influence of other variables (gender, age, value orientation ...) on the understanding of the notion of beauty and its connotations.

The paradigm of economic rationality is eroded by criticism from related behavioral disciplines, especially psychology. Neuroeconomics is a new multidisciplinary approach to behavioral economics. Neuroeconomics orders the Big5 Taxonomy by risk-will into a pluralist behavioral economics (PBE) that changes the classical and develops new domains of economic behavior: Firstly, consumer behavior is not sovereign but formed by group standards centering Open-mindedness. The rational consumer standard is now “Simple Living” as an alternative to consumerism. Secondly, the prototype of open-mindedness in production life is identified as the Pilot-in-the-plane entrepreneur that expands the production scope far beyond maximization of profit to include characteristics such as pragmatism, versatile team composition and perseverance to overcome obstacles. Thirdly, stress-management by meditative in-depth relaxation is evidenced as a complement to fitness. Fourthly, gender economics is supported by neuroeconomic findings on mental gender differences. Fifthly, Neuroeconomics explains the qualitative value of industrialization as “Rise of the Creative Class” due to liberal upbringing, broader and better tertiary education and more business options. The Discussion focuses on spillovers from PBE to the democratic culture. The option is to moderate historical economic-political polarization to that of complements with a broader population base.

Second language learning is an important area of research in the language and linguistic domain. Previous researchers have highlighted that classroom atmospherics has a significant impact on students' learning and students' performance. However, the effect of classroom atmospherics (broadly categorized under three heads---Technology, Location, and Aesthetics) on second language learning performance has not been explored with much rigor. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the classroom atmospherics influence on second language learning performance. A data sample consisting of 165 students was collected and analyzed. The study results uncover certain preconditions for second language learning, especially about classroom atmospherics. The study has high implications on language acquisitions and learning, design of classroom atmospherics, environmental psychology, anthropometrics, to name a few.

Perceptions of mental health are often influenced by religious, sociopolitical and cultural beliefs, as well as differing views, values and attitudes towards the medical model of diagnosis, the potential causes of mental health disorders, and the approaches to mental health treatment and management. Six percent of the population of Indonesia, the fourth most populous nation in the world, struggle with mental illness. With strained mental health systems, pathways to improved mental health are further complicated by stigmatizing perceptions of mental illness and a significant lack of mental health literacy. These differing levels of mental health literacy in turn act to prompt help-seeking behaviours towards mental health services and treatment. The current article aims to explore the different perceptions towards mental illness and the levels of mental health literacy among Indonesians from research literature of the past twenty years. By garnering a wider understanding of the aspects that contribute towards the perceptions of mental health, researchers may be better equipped to improve and develop approaches towards increasing mental health literacy and improving mental health related help seeking behaviours of the overall Indonesian population.
