AbstractSchizophrenic psychoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect about 1% of the world’s population. The first symptoms of the disease usually manifest between ages 20 and 30. The diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and its subtypes are characterized in detail in ICD-10. Diagnosis is based primarily on the presence of productive symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations occurring for at least one month which cannot be explained in another way. Schizophrenia is a disease which largely affects social functioning of patients, such as occupational performance, family life, interpersonal relationships or housing situation. Apart from the sociological aspect, social lives of schizophrenia sufferers are significantly impoverished due to cognitive impairment associated with improper functioning of NMDA receptors. The study describes a case of a patient suffering from paranoid schizophrenia which sheds light on the social functioning of this group of patients.

Pragmatic Study

In this paper, the realizations of apologies as evidenced in the Essex pauper letters of 19th century England are explored. The paper takes a critical look at the forms and functions of apologies, arguing that apologies in such texts are conventionalized in form. Taking into consideration the social norms of writing specific to this speech community, the study makes a distinction between two main functions of apologies and argues that apologies under scrutiny are not a politeness device that repairs and redresses an offence; rather, they exemplify a politic behavior that helps in the negotiation of interpersonal relationships and the attainment of the writers’ discursive goal.

Archaeological Chronologies

Archaeological chronologies tend to conflate temporalities from all cultural contexts in a region without consideration for the different depositional trajectories and life histories of the objects that serve as the basis of those chronologies. Social variables, such as gender, age, status, and individual mobility, act on artifacts in ways that must be identified and differentiated in order for seriations derived from one context to be applicable in another. This article presents evidence from early Iron Age contexts in Southwest Germany to illustrate this phenomenon and discusses its ramifications from the perspective of a case study focusing on the mortuary landscape of the Heuneburg hillfort on the Danube River. Gender in particular is strongly marked in this society and can be shown to affect the depositional tempo of certain artifact categories, which have different social lives and depositional fates depending on context. Artifact assemblages vary not only in terms of archaeological context and temporality but also are impacted by the social personae of the human agents responsible for, or associated with, their deposition.

Methodological Paper

This methodological paper reviews the recent work done by photojournalists in Singapore who have leveraged on the use of multimedia to create meaning-rich narratives of the social situations they investigate. Using an online multimedia project recently launched by journalists and photojournalists in Singapore, I will show how photographers’/photojournalists’ expertise, knowledge and combination of text and photographs serve to exemplify the opportunities that hypermedia affords to sociologists, and argue that hypermedia presentations are particularly useful in extending auto/biographical narratives, encouraging collaborative research, as well as interrogating the everyday social lives of our informants.

This article presents conclusions from analysis of the social functioning of a boy with autism in a preschool for children with special needs. The purpose of the study was to explore strengths and weaknesses in the social functioning of a boy with autism completing his preschool education. A case study was used as a research method, and observation and interview – as research techniques. The findings suggest that the social functioning of the boy with autism is at a level that allows him to continue education in an integrated or general education school as long as he is supported by a special teacher. The boy communicates his needs, has learned basic self-care skills, and follows preschool classroom rules. With adequate support from specialists and his parents, he is also able to establish healthy peer relationships.

IntroductionCurrent research shows that subjects with disorders belonging to the schizophrenia spectrum have a poor social functioning. There are several factors that can influence social functioning, social cognition being one of them.ObjectivesAssessing the ability to identify emotions and its role in the social functioning of subjects with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis.PurposeIncreasing the social functioning of subjects with a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis.MethodWe evaluated 31 subjects who were at their first admission to the Timisoara psychiatric clinic and who met the diagnostic criteria for a schizophrenia spectrum disorder (a diagnosis of F20, F22 or F25 according to ICD 10). The following parameters were monitored: sociodemographic (gender, age of onset, educational level, marital and professional status), theory of mind (Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test) and social functioning (GAF Scale). The subjects were evaluated during periods of remission. The acquired data was statistically processed.ResultsThe results of the sociodemographic parameters analysis were similar to those in international literature. Most subjects showed a lack of theory of mind (a mean score of 18, standard deviation 5.84). All subjects experienced a decrease in social functioning (a mean score of 64.7 on the GAF Scale). There is a direct correlation between the ability to identify emotions and social functioning (Spearman R = 0.386, P < 0.05).ConclusionsA decreased ability to identify emotions is directly correlated with decreased social functioning in subjects with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The aim of this study is to focus on the special educational and developmental needs of a child with selective mutism. Selective mutism is important for human social functioning and is a serious threat to the mental health and well-being of students. Unfortunately, not many teachers are aware of this fact.The first part of the study discusses the diagnostic specifiers of selective mutism in the context of ICD-10 and DSM-5. The next section discusses the special educational and development needs of children/ students who experience symptoms of selective mutism. Then the author presents a description of the social functioning of children with selective mutism in the context of ICF-CY (The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth). In the last paragraph of this study, the author discusses selected techniques that enable the effective inclusion of a child into a peer group and create an environment that favors the learning of a child with selective mutism. Next the author describes the range of psychological and pedagogical assistance for students with selective mutism in the kindergarten / school.

Metacognitive functioning is the basis of the individual’s ideas about his ability to build relationships with other people and manage own’s social behavior. Deterioration of metacognitive functioning in schizophrenia patients, presumably due to neurocognitive deficiency and other manifestations of the disease, probably contributes to disruptions of social functioning and quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the metacognitive functioning (MF) of patients with paranoid schizophrenia, operationalized as a cognitive ability to understand their own and other people’s emotions, and to explore the connection between social functioning (SF) and quality of life (QOL), as well as to establish logical relationships between MF with clinical indicators and socio-demographic characteristics of patients. In a sample of 300 patients with paranoid schizophrenia (age from 18 to 50 years, disease duration of at least 5 years, a total PANSS score of less than 120), MF was assessed using the Lyusin emotional intelligence test (EmIn) and the subjective assessment of interpersonal relationships (SOMO) test. Cognitive deficit was verified using a standardized battery of a Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS). The indicators obtained using the quality of life questionnaire for schizophrenia patients (QOL-SM) and the social functioning scale (PSP) were used to create an integrated indicator that comprehensively assesses SF and QOL of schizophrenia patients (Factor B). Reliable associations of this factor with indicators obtained using the Emin method (p<0.05), SOMO (p<0.001), the PSP scale, the QOL-SM questionnaire, the BACS and PANSS scales, and also with a number of clinical-dynamic and socio-demographic characteristics were established. Significant relationships between the parameters of MF, SF and QOL were obtained, and logical relationships between MF, neurocognitive deficiency and other clinical manifestations of schizophrenia were established.

PurposeThis study explores how individual, dyad and team levels of learning interact in public healthcare medical teams.Design/methodology/approachA single interpretive case study is carried out in the public Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland, involving three rounds of semi-structured interviews with non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs), supported by relevant professional documentation and researcher log entries.FindingsAn experience hierarchy, interpersonal relationships and social dynamics form the backdrop to learning interactions within public healthcare medical teams. Individual and team learning primarily occur in informal settings where interpreting and developing understanding takes place either in dyads, small groups or with the whole team. NCHD learning may vary depending on how effectively they build interpersonal relationships, take advantage of informal learning opportunities and manage the social dynamics within their team. Willingness and confidence to share insights and asking questions are triggers for individual and team learning.Research limitations/implicationsAs a single case study focused on the HSE NCHD individual and team learning experience, this research study represents a relatively small exploration of individual and team learning interplay in the public healthcare medical team environment. The development of learning theory in this domain presents an intriguing avenue of further research, including observation of interactions within a team.Practical implicationsThe findings have practical relevance to those who are interested in the effectiveness of post-graduate/ NCHD learning in the public healthcare system. Interpersonal relationships and social norms play strong roles in how interaction and learning occurs in a team. These findings highlight the challenge of ensuring consistent quality across individual NCHDs or across hospital sites when training is heavily influenced by the approach of senior colleagues/ consultants to their more junior colleagues and the degree to which they take an active interest in NCHD learning.Originality/valueThe proposed learning framework is a key theoretical contribution, which draws upon the multi-levels of learning and provides greater insight into how individual, dyad and team learning interact in public healthcare medical teams when managing patient care. The findings have practical relevance in how to facilitate effective teamwork and learning interactions and for those who are interested in the consistency and quality of the training experience for NCHDs.

New Perspective

The mainstream explanation for employee turnover is either cause–effect factor analysis or interaction analysis. The former is effective in identifying causal relations between factors and the latter in revealing the dynamics of interpersonal relationships. Combining the benefits of both methods, this study applies guanxi circle theory to studying employee turnover. It places various turnover factors under the framework of interpersonal interactions and uses the social network structure as an analytic point from which to examine the dynamic evolution of trust within the organization. The study finds that in the case of the Tianyuan Tea Company, the collective resignation was largely caused by the collapse of trust within the guanxi circles that informally operated within the company social network centered on the management authority who had the power of hiring, firing, and promotion. Five conclusions are proposed: (a) the formal hierarchical structure of power can either coincide with or be separate from the informal guanxi circles – when the two are in accordance, resignations rarely happen, while discordance between the two is often an indicator of potential resignations; (b) organizational changes are most likely to cause guanxi circles outsiders to resign; (c) members of the inner guanxi circle in the organization do not resign because of discordant relationships with lower level managers, but rather, they get relocated with promotion; (d) the collapse of ‘bridges’ between guanxi circles can cause collective resignations; (e) those who survive organizational shakeups are members of the inner guanxi circle in the organization and the ‘bridges’ of guanxi circles. This study contributes to the research on employee turnover by introducing a new perspective of guanxi circle theory as well as drawing attention to the important function of the ‘bridge’ in coordinating between circles, and by offering theoretical understanding and practical guidance for social governance.
