Prison Inmates

Institutions of incarceration have always had some type of recreational program but the outcomes of these types of programs have not been well documented. Historically, they have been time fillers to keep inmates busy, and have been used as an element of social control. In this study, we examined the outcomes of a correctional recreational program, especially its impact upon prisoners' (N = 177) self-esteem. It was found that inmates use recreation as a coping mechanism for their incarceration because is the only time during the day in which they can freely express their personality and, thus, have some type of activity for positive development.

In this chapter, I discuss the causes and consequences of masculine domination in sexuality. My main theoretical inspiration is Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination and his key concept symbolic violence. The Norwegian TV-series SKAM is my empirical case. I will trace the historical roots of masculine domination, and discuss how this puts limits on female sexuality, integrity and dignity. By identifying “the elephant in the room”, masculine domination, Bourdieu claims that we can see sexual harassment as a type of social control of women and gay people, using shame as the key control mechanism. I will analyse the reproduction of masculine dominance and symbolic violence through language; by the use of words like “whore” and “homo”, and through masculine stigmatizations of “good” and “bad” girls. The TV-series SKAM has had a considerable impact on the how Norwegians talk about sexual harassment, homophobia and other religions. SKAM shows how the youth can strengthen their self-esteem by dismantling the taboos and making them aware of social control mechanisms. In this chapter, I am addressing teachers to use SKAM to discuss sexual harassment, and to continuing dismantling cultural taboos.

Forms Of Violence

Abstract The purpose of this study is to find out the forms of violence perpetrated by Madurese in Semampir and understand the extent to which religion as a socio-cultural system acts as a tool for social control. The research method that researcher use is a descriptive exploratory type of research. In this study, researcher wanted to explore further the social and cultural role of Madura as a trigger for various characters and acts of violence. The results showed that various acts of violence carried out by Madurese in Semampir were triggered by several factors. The most prominent factor is the exaggeration of self-esteem that is too excessive. Second, the process of interaction between Madurese in multi-ethnic overseas areas, such as in Semampir sub-district, does have socio-cultural characteristics that tend to be hard, both physically and psychologically. Third, the religious system of Madurese in Semampir is more dominated by ceremonial events so that it cannot be used as a tool for maximum social control. Keywords: Violence, Overseas Madura.

Purpose Nationwide, upward trends exist in student issues with anxiety, stress, depression, and lowered classroom performance. As emotional awareness and emotional regulation skills are typically not addressed in professional discipline-specific courses, students experience challenges in their academic performance. This pilot research explored the effect of brief targeted classroom practices within an empowerment-based framework on domains of emotional intelligence. Method Twenty-two students in an undergraduate speech-language pathology class received a 13-week, biweekly, 15-min session of empowerment-based worksheet exercises to develop increased self-esteem, emotional awareness and regulation, and communication. Assessments of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, communication competence, and communication apprehension were conducted using validated scales, namely, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale ( Rosenberg, 1965 ), the Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment ( Mohapel, 2015 ), the Self-Perceived Communication Competence Scale ( McCroskey & McCroskey, 2013 ), and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension ( McCroskey, 1982 ), respectively. Midsemester and semester-end student reflections were collected. Results Paired t tests were significant in self-esteem and emotional quotient, including subdomains of emotional awareness, emotional management, social emotional awareness, and relational management. Significance was noted in communication competence in the subdomains of dyad interaction, stranger interaction, and acquaintance. Students' reflection showed significant improvement in empowerment and self-rated improvements in confidence, communication, connections with peers, and trust with instructor. Conclusion Preliminary evidence demonstrates positive outcomes with integration of intentional classroom exercises to build emotional intelligence (including emotional awareness and regulation), self-esteem, and communication. This empowerment model may assist faculty in developing effective pedagogical strategies to build students' self-resiliency.

Counseling Adolescents

Abstract Audiologists have a responsibility to counsel patients with auditory concerns on methods to manage the inherent challenges associated with hearing loss at every point in the process: evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and follow-up visits. Adolescents with hearing loss struggle with the typical developmental challenges along with communicative challenges that can erode one's self-esteem and self-worth. The feeling of “not being connected” to peers can result in feelings of isolation and depression. This article advocates the use of a Narrative Therapy approach to counseling adolescents with hearing loss. Adolescents with hearing loss often have problem-saturated narratives regarding various components of their daily life, friendships, amplification, academics, etc. Audiologists can work with adolescents with hearing loss to deconstruct the problem-saturated narratives and rebuild the narratives into a more empowering message. As the adolescent retells their positive narrative, they are likely to experience increased self-esteem and self-worth.
