The Relationship

Jung defined individuation as the process by which a person becomes “a psychological in-dividual, that is separate, indivisible unity or whole that begins after the 35th year and is necessary for survival. Freud originally conceived of defense mechanisms as “intra-psychic” mechanisms that mediate the internal struggles between the internalized societal expectations of the super-ego and the instinctual drives of the id. The present investigation was designed to study the relationship between defense mechanisms (mature, neurotic and immature) and the individuation process among adults. Sample for the study consisted of 240 adults, age ranging 40-50 years, having a stable career and married life. Data was collected using questionnaires pertaining to the variables from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and Solan. Since, it is the first of its kind attempt in the Indian context to provide elusive character to the construct of individuation, the index for individuation consisted of a cumulative score of self-concept, ego strength and inner-directedness. The study consisted of three hypotheses: 1) Mature defense mechanisms will have a positive significant relationship with the individuation process. 2) Neurotic defense mechanisms will have a negative significant relationship with the individuation process. 3) Immature defense mechanisms will have a negative significant relationship with the individuation process. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson’s product moment correlation to study the relationship between defense mechanisms and the individuation process. Results indicated that mature defense mechanisms were found to have positive significant relationship with the individuation process, thereby proving our first hypothesis. Whereas both neurotic and immature defense mechanisms were found to have a positive but non – significant relationship with the individuation process, due to which hypothesis two and three were rejected. However, more studies need to be conducted to validate the construct of Individuation process in the Indian context.

The Relationship

The individuation process demarcates the core concept of Jungian Psychology that represents various systems and structures of personality. Jung defined individuation as the process by which a person becomes “a psychological in-dividual, that is separate, indivisible unity or whole that begins after the 35th year and is necessary for survival. Self-Regulation is one’s ability to monitor, regulate and control one’s behavior. According to Jung, individuation lies at the heart of one’s individuation process. Self-Efficacy is defined as the ability of an individual to realize his/her potential to the fullest irrespective of adversities and obstacles. According to Jung, the primary goal of humans is to move toward the fulfillment or realization of their capabilities (Self-Efficacy) and achieving individuation. Against this backdrop, the present investigation was designed to study the relationship between self-regulation and self-efficacy with the individuation process among adults. Sample for the study consisted of 240 adults, age ranging 40-50 years, having a stable career and married life. Data was collected using questionnaires pertaining to the variables from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and Ludhiana. Since, it is the first of its kind attempt in the Indian context to provide elusive character to the construct of individuation, the index for individuation consisted of a cumulative score of self-concept, ego strength and inner directedness. The study consisted of two hypotheses: 1) Self-Regulation will have a positive significant relationship with the individuation process. 2) Self-Efficacy will have a positive significant relationship with the individuation process. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson’s product moment correlation to study the relationship between self-regulation and self-efficacy and the individuation process. Results indicated that both self-regulation and self-efficacy were found to have positive significant relationship with the individuation process, thereby, both the hypotheses stand proved. However, more studies need to be conducted to validate the construct of Individuation process in the Indian context

The purpose of this work was to analyze the specific relationship between parental involvement, dimensions of student self-concept and achievement. 503 students of Secondary Education (ESO) and the first year of Baccalaureate course participated in the study. Data were collected using two questionnaires (Family Involvement Questionnaire and Self-Concept Scale for Adolescents) and academic achievement scores. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and paths analysis. The results obtained suggest a significant relationship between the dimensions of perceived family involvement and the dimensions of self-concept (except for parents' praise behaviors). What's more, the relationship between perceived family involvement and achievement is partially mediated by the academic self-concept.

RELATIONSHIP USING LEARNING MEDIA WITH SELF CONCEPTThe aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the use of learning media and self-concept. The research approach uses quantitative with correlational study methods. The study data was obtained using a questionnaire tool for both variables. The validity test of the use of instructional media and self-concept tools was calculated using the Pearson Product Moment formula and the reliability coefficient was calculated using the Cronbach Alpha formula. The population consisted of VA, VB and VC students from the District 2 Primary School. A sample of 48 students was obtained using the Taro Yamane formula. Testing the analysis requirements in the form of normality tests (Liliefors). After the normality test is performed, a homogeneity test is then performed (Fisher). Data declared normal and homogeneous are used to test hypotheses, the results of which indicate that the use of instructional media has a positive and significant relationship with self-concept. Statistical analysis yields a correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.69, which means that the relationship level is classified as strong and a count of 8.80 is higher than ttable with a significant level of 0.05 of 2.021, meaning significant. It can therefore be concluded that there is a positive and significant relationship between the use of instructional media and the self-concepts of students.

Background: Occupational burnout is a psychological syndrome that occurs in response to chronic stress in the workplace. Nowadays, it is known as one of the most important consequences of occupational stress. Defense mechanisms may also affect occupational burnout. Objectives: Since burnout is an important factor influencing the productivity of nurses, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the defense mechanisms and occupational burnout among nurses in the educational hospitals of an urban area in Iran. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 318 nurses who had at least one-year of work experience in four educational hospitals in Sari city, Iran, in 2018. Sampling was performed using the proportional stratified sampling method. The data were collected by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale, psychological Defense Styles questionnaire (DSQ-40), and a demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics via the SPSS software V.20. Results: A total of 318 nurses were studied, 13 (4.1%) of the nurses had a burnout. The mean score of the dimension of emotional exhaustion (EE) was 17.49, in the dimension of depersonalization (DP) it was 5.42, and in the dimension of personal achievement (PA) it was 31.58. They indicated a low level of occupational burnout, and the mean scores of FE, DP, and PA subscales indicated a low level of occupational burnout. The use of more mature defense mechanisms had a significant negative correlation with the increase of the EE score (rho = -0.210, P < 0.001), but no significant relationship was reported with other aspects of burnout. Increased use of immature defense mechanisms had a direct correlation with the increase in the score of DP (rho = 0.255 and P < 0.001), but had a significant inverse relationship with the PA score (rho = -0.238 and P < 0.001) and no significant relationship with EE (P = 0.627). No significant relationship was found between the use of neurotic defense mechanisms and burnout dimensions (PEE = 0.119, PDP = 0.174, and PPA = 0.127). Conclusions: Since there is a significant relationship between defense mechanisms and occupational burnout, using the components of defense mechanisms in job interviews can lead to choosing appropriate nurses to perform different tasks in different settings, in accordance with individual and psychological characteristics. Also, teaching problem-solving skills, stress management, and useful information can improve defense mechanisms, nurses’ job performance, and patient satisfaction.
