ABSTRACTIndia is aging. The growth of India’s older population has increased our concerns about their well-being. While it is critical to explore the diverse needs and aging experience of older Indians, their voices are largely missing in the aging literature. In this context, data was collected from 63 community-dwelling and OAH residing older men and women of Delhi NCR to understand their aging experience, views about old age and perceived need for government intervention in old age care and support. Reflexive thematic analysis of their aging experience and perception of old age generated five themes and six sub-themes: The aging body encompassing three sub-themes “the older we become the more diseases we have”, “the ointment called positive thinking”, “women’s quest for self-care”; Psychological gains and social losses; Affiliation, distraction and anticipation; The aging parent and the adult child comprising three sub-themes “filial relations—quality and quantity”, “children these days and their mobile phones”, “our daughter shows us more love and care”; and A time for religious and spiritual devotion. Lastly, the analysis of their perceived need for government support in old age care generated five sub-themes – Political cynicism, I was a private employee but am I not a part of this country? Government or Private Hospitals: A no-win situation, Everyday life and Reforms in OAHs. The present findings highlight the multidimensional and multidirectional experience of aging and the diverse needs of older persons in the Indian context.KEYWORDS: Old ageaging experienceIndiareflexive thematic analysisIndian contextolder people AcknowledgmentsThe authors express their sincere gratitude to all the study participants - this study would not have been possible without their participation.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Availability of data and materialThe data will be made available on request, for research purposes only.Compliance with ethical standardsThe study was performed in accordance with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments and comparable ethical standards.Informed consentInformed consent was obtained from all the participants who were a part of the present study.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present article is to present and discuss the results of a Portuguese national study with 4696 university students, 3846 (81.9%) self-identified as females, 843 (17.8%) self-identified as males, and 16 (0.3%) non-binary people (M = 22.4 years old; SD = 5.132). With the objective of characterizing the relationship between gender beliefs and dating violence practices, an online questionnaire was administered. Results show that 2524 (53.7%) students had suffered an episode of dating violence and 1599 (34%) had perpetrated one at least once during their life. Female students were more victimized than male students, while male students perpetrated more dating violence than female participants. An association between gender beliefs legitimizing violence and gender was found, with male students endorsing more gender beliefs legitimizing violence than female students. Additionally, those who suffered from and perpetrated dating violence presented higher levels of gender beliefs legitimizing violence than those who did not suffer from or perpetrate it.KEYWORDS: Dating violencegenderbeliefsuniversity studentsPortugal Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis study was part of a project funded by the Portuguese government, through Programa Operacional Inclusão Social e Emprego (grant number 03-4437-FSE-000227).
摘要本文的目的是介绍和讨论一项葡萄牙国家研究的结果，其中4696名大学生，3846名(81.9%)自认为是女性，843名(17.8%)自认为是男性，16名(0.3%)非二元人群(M = 22.4岁;Sd = 5.132)。为了描述性别信仰与约会暴力行为之间的关系，我们进行了一份在线问卷调查。结果表明，2524名(53.7%)学生经历过约会暴力，1599名(34%)学生一生中至少发生过一次约会暴力。女生比男生受到的伤害更大，而男生比女生犯下的约会暴力更多。研究发现，将暴力合法化的性别信念与性别之间存在关联，男学生比女学生更支持将暴力合法化的性别信念。此外，那些遭受和实施约会暴力的人比那些没有遭受或实施约会暴力的人表现出更高的性别信仰，认为暴力是合法的。关键词:约会暴力;性别观念;大学生;法律披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究是由葡萄牙政府通过Programa operational inclusion o o Social e Emprego(资助号03-4437-FSE-000227)资助的项目的一部分。

ABSTRACTThis research is grounded into the social learning and influence framework. On the basis of the literature review, it has been noted that promoting a sustainable behavior, such as energy saving, is deemed to be an outcome of a psychological process that may be triggered by social influence attempts on social networks. A set of source-related features, such as the influencer’s popularity and expertise, and the followers’ psychological reactions are conceived to illustrate the energy saving promotion on Instagram. A quantitative approach based on an a 2 × 2 experiment and a survey was implemented. The findings show that the influencer’s popularity and expertise are key drivers that trigger a psychological mechanism leading to a high intention to save energy among followers.KEYWORDS: Credibilityenergy savingexperimentsocial influencesustainability Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Summary statement of contributionThis research brings additional insights to the theories of social learning and provides a new psychological mechanism of learning on social networks. Our research depicts the relevance of social media networks, as well as the influencer’s characteristics in promoting energy saving as a sustainable behavior among followers. Governments and professionals, should rely on popular and expert influencers to carry out effective awareness-raising campaigns regarding energy saving.

ABSTRACTSuicide is the ending of one’s own life for economic, psychological, and social reasons. Suicide cases worldwide occur mostly in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of economic indicators of low and middle-income countries on suicide rates by panel data analysis method. The dependent variable is the (crude) suicide rate. The independent variables are gross domestic product, per capita income, general unemployment rate, poverty level, and Gini index value. In the study, two different econometric models were developed. In Model 1, it was predicted that a 1% increase in the poverty level of countries in the middle-income group could lead to an increase of 0.66% in the suicide rate. In Model-2, it was estimated that a 1% increase in the per capita income of low-income countries would cause a 0.52% decrease in the suicide rate. It was predicted that a possible increase of 1% in the Gini index value would cause an increase of 0.24% and 0.32% in the suicide rates of middle- and low-income countries, respectively. Although there are various factors affecting the suicide rate in society, there are often economic reasons at the root of the problem. The consequences of the unequal distribution of income in a poorer society can be more devastating. Although the results of the study are important in terms of revealing the effect of economic indicators on suicide rates more research is needed in this area.KEYWORDS: Economic indicatorsincome levelsuicide ratepanel data analysis AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to extend their sincere thanks to anyone who contributed to this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Author contributionsPlan, design: SK, OS, MK; Material, methods, and data collection: SK, OS; Data analysis and comments: OS; Writing and corrections: SK, MK.Additional informationFundingThis research has not supported any institution.

ABSTRACTA rigorous revision of the current body of literature is required to obtain an accurate assessment of the impact of innovative organizational culture on teachers’ identification and affective commitment in primary school environments. The current literature requires more investigation into the mediating function of teachers’ identification in the relationship between innovative culture and teachers’ affective commitment. This underscores the necessity for a more comprehensive comprehension of this mediating mechanism. Therefore, through combining two theoretical frameworks, Behavioral Commitment Theory (BCT) and Social Identity Theory (SIT), this study delves into the intricate psychological interplay between innovative organizational culture and its influence on teachers’ sense of identification and affective commitment in primary schools, which could provide insight into more understanding of this phenomenon. By surveying 432 teachers, this study sought to discern the direct impacts of an innovation-driven culture on teachers’ organizational identification and affective commitment and the potential mediating role of this identification. The findings of this study, which were inferred from the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), illuminate that an innovative atmosphere significantly resonates with teachers’ identification and affective commitment. Additionally, this identification emerges as a bridge that further intensifies teachers’ emotional bond (affective commitment) with their institution in the context of innovation culture. This research contributes valuable insights for educational institutions and provides practical implications for students, teachers, and schools, while highlighting certain constraints and avenues for future exploration.KEYWORDS: Innovative organizational cultureorganizational identificationaffective organizational commitmentbehavioral commitment theorysocial identity theoryprimary schools AcknowledgmentsThe Authors are grateful to the journal’s anonymous referees for their extremely useful suggestions to improve the quality of the article.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and or publication of this article.

ABSTRACTLesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and other gender and sexual minority (LGBTQ+) persons are less happy and more vulnerable to mental health risks than their cisheterosexual counterparts. Evidence suggests that resilient social systems promote the mental well-being and happiness of LGBTQ+ youth. Using the lens of capability approach, this study sought to determine the relationship between collective resilience (i.e. communal and national resilience), and happiness among young Filipino LGBTQ+ undergraduates and how these relationships are mediated by mental well-being. Drawing from an online survey sample of 340 LGBTQ+ young Filipino undergraduates, this cross-sectional study utilized mediation analysis. Results indicate that communal and national resilience significantly positively predict happiness among LGBTQ+ respondents. Moreover, mental well-being partially mediates communal resilience and happiness (36.84%), and fully mediates national resilience and happiness. Findings signify the importance of collective resilience as facilitators of positive mental health and ultimately, happiness among LGBTQ+ youth.KEYWORDS: Cross-sectional studieshappinessmental healthresiliencesexual and gender minoritiesyouth AcknowledgmentsThe researcher would like to thank all of the student respondents who participated in the study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThe study aims to measure the effectiveness of capacity-building intervention on knowledge regarding disabilities among village rehabilitation workers in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India. One hundred and forty village rehabilitation workers were recruited from seven blocks of Kalaburagi district (20 from each block) through purposive sampling. Baseline data were collected and analyzed to complete training need assessment. Training module on knowledge about disabilities and the skills to work with persons with disabilities was prepared and implemented. After a gap of 45 days, post-intervention data were collected and analyzed to assess the effect of intervention. It was observed that intervention had a significant effect on enhancing the knowledge on disability among village rehabilitation workers (pretest M = 33.5286 and posttest M = 41.0429, t (139) = −45.152; p < 0.01 level). The variables education and experience showed significant difference with regard to knowledge on disabilities among village rehabilitation workers.KEYWORDS: Disabilityknowledgecompetenciescapacity buildingvillage rehabilitation workers AcknowledgmentsWe sincerely thank all the village rehabilitation workers of Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India, who participated in the study; this endeavor couldn’t be successful without their cooperation.We are also grateful to Dr. Indumati Rao, Director CBR Network South Asia for kind help and support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementData will be made available on request.

ABSTRACTBeyond navigating normative developmental tasks, Black American adolescents cope with race-related experiences that are distinct to their racial-ethnic group. However, little is known about how Black American adolescents, particularly those in racially homogenous communities, experience and cope with race-related stress. Using qualitative measures, this study investigates how Black American adolescents in urban, racially homogenous environments experience race-related stress and the coping methods used to combat it. Qualitative data via individual interviews with 20 high school seniors revealed that these adolescents experience race-related stress in individual, institutional, and cultural contexts, which evoked intense negative emotions. Seeking support from family and friends and social referencing positive cultural artifacts were the most widely utilized coping strategies. Implications of the protective nature of racially homogenous environments and directions for future research are discussed.KEYWORDS: Race-related stresscoping with racismBlack adolescentsAfrican American adolescentsracially homogenous communityracial socialization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

Implications of the protective nature of racially homogenous environments and directions for future research are discussed.KEYWORDS: Race-related stresscoping with racismBlack adolescentsAfrican American adolescentsracially homogenous communityracial socialization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":47328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135740401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACTThe paper attempts to contextualize the significance of the work of unpaid female family helpers’ (UPFFH) for women empowerment. Additionally, it brings into light the subjective feelings and perceptions of unpaid family helpers. The current research is based on primary data collected through a self-structured questionnaire from 200 females aged 15+ years who were helping in the household income generation without getting paid. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among UPFFHs residing in district Lahore, Pakistan. The participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The analysis of UPFFHs empowerment was performed by employing a percentage distribution approach based on four levels of participation in decision making. The research puts emphasis on the impact of excessive, unequal, and unpaid work on women and further argues for social rational of recognizing the work through empowering women in decision-making process at their personal, household, and community level. The findings of the study indicates that the young UPFFHs are less empowered as they face the greatest familial and community pressure when it comes to making their life decisions. However, the paper further documents their aspiration to attain economic independence which would then bring change in gender perceptions and their overall social standing. The paper concludes by highlighting the problems associated with “unpaid work” and why it must be addressed, especially if the country has to fully realize the valued goal of women empowerment and gender equality.KEYWORDS: Unpaid family helperswomen empowermentgender inequalitiessocial value of work Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. For the purpose of present study UPFFH is used to mention unpaid female family helper.
