Television Programme

The discussion about the quality of television contents, which has so strongly arisen in recent years, provides both elements for optimism and aspects that foster a sceptical position at the same time. The good intentions of improving programmes and of protecting children and youngsters, which were stated in the self-regulation rules signed in Spain in December of 2004, have come to nothing in the first months. The breaches of the code are frequent. Programme planners do not fully assume their responsibility and they blame external factors (such as the audience, the necessity of income from advertising or the lack of creativity) for the low quality of television products. It is appropriate to introduce the falsehood of such arguments on this point of the debate and to recall that television companies are the owners of the television that we consume. The possibilities of change will depend on the pressure that we, the users, are capable of exerting. El debate acerca de la calidad de los contenidos televisivos, que con tanta fuerza se ha generado en los últimos años, aporta elementos para el optimismo a la vez que aspectos que alimentan una posición escéptica. Los buenos propósitos de mejorar la programación y proteger a la infancia y la juventud, expresados en el Código de Autorregulación firmado en España en diciembre de 2004, se han visto frustrados en los primeros meses. Los incumplimientos del Código son numerosos. Los programadores no acaban de asumir su responsabilidad y echan la culpa a factores externos (audiencia, necesidad de ingresos publicitarios o falta de creatividad) para justificar la baja calidad de los productos televisivos. Resulta oportuno introducir en este punto del debate la falsedad de tales argumentaciones y recordar que los emisores son los dueños de la televisión que consumimos. Las posibilidades de cambio dependerán de la presión que seamos capaces de ejercer los usuarios.

This article aims to clarify the biographical reflection as a personal resource of the self-regulation in students. The self-regulation at the beginning of professional life is associated with a substantially increased of hardiness and professional competence, but the basis of this reflective mechanism remains unknown. In the mainstream of cultural-historical psychology, the biographical reflection is considered as a type of reflection for making self-analysis of life of the personality and as a personal resource for making control the quality of life in time. To test the hypothesis that biographical reflection increases the positive effects of arbitrary self-regulation, educational and professional achievements in students. This sample of convenience consisted of 500 students (humanitarian and economic, and technical directions of education) at each of the ages of 17–37 years. The study focused on three aspects, which were measured: biographical reflection, and self-regulation, and professional competence. We argue that the resource function of biographical reflection is most in demand in situations of choice of direction of education and academic disciplines, and scientific projects, and internship. Furthermore, the level of biographical reflection in students is higher when a start and end of learning in the higher school. The higher level biographical reflection increased the score on the self-regulation and professional competence in students at the beginning and end of the tertiary education. Therefore, biographical reflective analysis is a good resource of the life management in choice of a professional life.

Self Learning

There are different views on self-regulation in the learning process, how it has to be monitored, controlled, which are the circumstances and external factors that affect independent learning. Dominant are the opinions in which the self-regulation is treated as interaction of processes related to the personality, behavioural and contextual processes. Special attention has been given to motivational strategies and students? desire to focus on goals. By enabling students to make decisions, set their own goals, make a choice, plan and organize activities, the development of self-learning and student autonomy is being encouraged. If students are given the opportunity of independent activities, effect of self-control in the process of learning and self-regulation becomes more pronounced. The paper will explain the factors that influence the process of self-learning that takes place in regular teaching with the help of map as the basic geographic media.

Writing Activity

AbstractThis paper investigates a writing activity for therapeutic effect by means of self-regulation through which emotion and thinking are welded to discover the self and other. This activity is undertaken with a Peircean semiotic approach. Accordingly, a feeling of emotion as a material quality of thought-sign is observed as to how it develops into higher psychological processes by virtue of object of thinking, friendship, and love, as external stimulus. This is found in Michel de Montaigne who arrives at a feeling of unity between nature and culture by way of gravity of narrative as a remedial method in narrative mind.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the self-report and parent-proxy Health-Related Quality of Life Measure for Children with Epilepsy (CHEQOL-25) into Vietnamese and to evaluate their reliability. Methods: Both English versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were translated and culturally adapted into Vietnamese by using the Principles of Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process. The Vietnamese versions were scored by 77 epileptic patients, who aged 8–15 years, and their parents/caregivers at neurology outpatient clinic of Children Hospital No. 2 – Ho Chi Minh City. Reliability of the questionnaires was determined by using Cronbach’s coefficient α and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Both Vietnamese versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were shown to be consistent with the English ones, easy to understand for Vietnamese children and parents. Thus, no further modification was required. Cronbach’s α coefficient for each subscale of the Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was 0.65 to 0.86 and 0.83 to 0.86, respectively. The ICC for each subscale of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was in the range of 0.61 to 0.86 and 0.77 to 0.98, respectively. Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were the first questionnaires about quality of life of epileptic children in Vietnam. This Vietnamese version was shown to be reliable to assess the quality of life of children with epilepsy aged 8–15 years.

This paper argues that the rise of what is commonly termed "personal religion" during the Classic-Hellenistic period is not the result of an inner need or even quality of the self, as often argued by those who see in ancient Greece foreshadowing of Christianity, but rather was the result of social, economic, and political conditions that made it possible for Hellenistic Greeks to redefine the perception of the individual and its relationship to others.
