Being The Change I Want To See In The World: Learning And Teaching From The Heart, Gloria Gordon Phd
Being The Change I Want To See In The World: Learning And Teaching From The Heart, Gloria Gordon Phd
Gloria Gordon PhD
The author draws on her professional practice as an educator/academic in a UK higher education institution to share her journey, as an African British woman, of becoming the change she wants to see in the world. She shares the process of the radical appropriation of her own unique and creative spiritual ‘I’ and the challenges she is presented with of identifying her particular path of meaning and purpose; of transcending the social construction of black and white identities; of definitive movement towards self realisation and spiritual freedom. The central thrust of the paper is the emphasis on how every individual …

Gender Differences For Optimism, Self-Esteem, Expectations And Goals In Predicting Career Planning And Exploration In Adolescents, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum, Peter A. Creed
Gender Differences For Optimism, Self-Esteem, Expectations And Goals In Predicting Career Planning And Exploration In Adolescents, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum, Peter A. Creed
Dee Bartrum
An Australian sample (N=467) of high school students was administered scales tapping optimism, self-esteem, career expectations, career goals, career planning and career exploration. The study tested a career mediational model based on social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and cognitive–motivational–relational theory (CMR). It was hypothesized that the stable person inputs of optimism and self-esteem would predict career planning and career exploration through the variables of career expectations and career goals differentially for young males and females. For males, optimism and self-esteem influenced career expectations, sequentially predicting career goals, career planning and career exploration. A different pathway was identified for females, with …

Internal And External Barriers, Cognitive Style, And The Career Development Variables Of Focus And Indecision, Peter A. Creed, Wendy Patton, Dee Bartrum
Dee Bartrum
One hundred and thirty final year high school students were administered scales tapping optimism/pessimism, self-esteem, external career barriers, career decision-making self-efficacy, career focus and career indecision. It was hypothesised, first, that cognitive style (optimism/pessimism) would predict both internal (self-esteem) and external career-related barriers, second, that internal barriers would interact with external barriers and impact on career decision-making self-efficacy, and third, the previously mentioned variables would subsequently predict career focus and career indecision. Results demonstrated that cognitive style was influential in determining the perception of internal barriers (for females and males) and external barriers (females only). Internal and external barriers, along …
Interdependence As A Mediator Between Culture And Interpersonal Closeness For Euro-Canadians And Turks, Ayse K. Uskul, Michaela Hynie, Richard Lalonde
Interdependence As A Mediator Between Culture And Interpersonal Closeness For Euro-Canadians And Turks, Ayse K. Uskul, Michaela Hynie, Richard Lalonde
Ayse K Uskul
The present study examines cross-cultural differences in interpersonal closeness to different people and whether these differences can be explained by independent and interdependent self-construal. Turkish and Euro-Canadian samples of university students were asked to indicate how close they feel and how close they ideally would like to be to family members, romantic partners, friends and acquaintances. As predicted, Turkish participants scored higher on interdependent self-construal, whereas there was no culture difference on independent self-construal scores. Turkish participants rated their actual and ideal closeness with others higher than Euro-Canadian participants did. Both Turkish and Euro-Canadian participants reported feeling closest and ideally …

Women’S Menarche Stories From A Multicultural Sample, Ayse K. Uskul
Ayse K Uskul
This paper reports on the findings of a focus group study that examines how women experienced menarche at the personal level and in relation to the larger cultural, religious, and societal environment. Fifty-three women from 34 different countries were recruited in 13 focus groups. At the personal level, menarche stories shared in this study revealed salient themes concerning feelings experienced at the time of menarche, the importance of mother’s reactions to their daughter’s first menstruation, difficulties around understanding the meanings attached to menarche by others, managing menstrual products, and making sense of formal education related to menstruation, and finally the …

How Adaptive And Maladaptive Perfectionism Relate To Positive And Negative Psychological Functioning: Testing A Stress-Mediation Model In Black And White Female College Students, Edward C. Chang, Kira Hudson Banks, Angela F. Watkins
Kira Hudson Banks, Ph.D.
This study assessed racial variations in how adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism relate to psychological functioning in a sample of 150 Black and 150 White female college students. Comparative results indicated that Black women, as compared with White women, reported less adaptive perfectionism, less life satisfaction, greater stress, and greater negative affect. Correlational results indicated that for both groups, maladaptive perfectionism, but not adaptive perfectionism, was associated with stress. Accordingly, a model in which stress mediates the link between maladaptive perfectionism and psychological functioning was tested. Overall, path-analytic results indicated that stress completely or partially mediated the link between maladaptive perfectionism …
