    A process model of parental monitoring (PM) proposes that PM occurs in two distinct stages: before the adolescent goes out and when they return home. Parental and adolescent responses to monitoring interactions impact on future monitoring episodes. Research suggests that passive PM strategies (e.g. child disclosure) correlate with higher parental knowledge and less behavior problems. Self-reported measures were used on a sample of 507 Belgrade secondary school students (42.1% male) to examine the mediating effect (mediation analysis using JASP) of parental knowledge (the Scale of Parental Monitoring) on the relationship of PM strategies (Child Disclosure, Parental Solicitation and Parental Control) (the Scale of Parental Monitoring) with externalising problems (Aggressive and Rule-Breaking Behaviour) (ASEBA, YSR). The research results show that Parental Knowledge mediate the relation of Child Disclosure and RuleBreaking Behaviour (z = -6.544, p < .001) and Parental Control and Rule-Breaking Behaviour (z =-3.770, p< .001). No direct link between Parental Control and RuleBreaking Behavior, as well as Parental Solicitation and Rule-Breaking Behavior were established. Full mediation of the link between Child Disclosure and Aggressive Behavior by Parental Knowledge is found (total indirect effect z = -4.050, p < .001). The research results were discussed in the context of the relevance of the PM strategies for greater parental knowledge and prevention of externalising problems in adolescence

    The 'lost' Peranakan Reimagined: Creating new interpretation of lost Peranakan objects through contemporary artistic imagination

    Get PDF
    This research project aims to explore new interpretations from 'lost' objects of the Peranakan-Chinese, through contemporary artistic interpretation and reimagination. The Peranakan-Chinese community can be traced back to the early 17th century, when Chinese traders travelled to Southeast Asia, formed unions with the native women, and settled in the regions. The offspring of such intermarriages were referred to as the ā€œBaba Chineseā€ or the ā€œStraits-born Chineseā€, and later, the ā€œPeranakan-Chineseā€. The changing reference to this community is synonymous not only to their shifting identity, but it also signifies the decline of the community over time. With the decline, the objects used and treasured by this community have been ā€˜lostā€™. The notion of ā€˜lostā€™, explored in this research, is layered and complex. ā€˜Lost' refers not only to physical loss of objects, but also loss in a cultural sense, particularly, in their diminishing relevance and significance among the Peranakans today. The term ā€˜lostā€™, may be applied to objects that have been misplaced or forgotten over time, or objects that have vanished, and are now absent. It may also suggest objects that lack strong physical presence in that they have not disappeared completely. Instead, they are being considered ā€˜invisibleā€™, meaning that the objects are physically present, but for some reasons they are not noticeable, seen, or even considered present. Objects are 'lost' through different causes, for example, through extensive and repetitive representations, that desensitises our reaction towards them, through the lack of critical attention on them, contributing to their waning significance and value, which further compounds their lacking symbolic presence, resulting in their presumed archaic status. In this research, I explore from the position of a Peranakan-Chinese today, who experiences material dispossession and cultural estrangement. With reference to Merleau Pontyā€™s discussion of 'embodimentā€™, Jacques Derridaā€™s notion of the ā€˜spectreā€™ and Homi Bhabhaā€™s ā€˜third spaceā€™, I explore the implications and paradoxes of absent cultural inheritance. Using contemporary art practice, phenomenological and cultural theoretical lenses, I seek to offer an alternative approach to examine, reinvigorate, and expand the understanding of Peranakan cultural objects

    COVID-19 Booster Vaccine Acceptance in Ethnic Minority Individuals in the United Kingdom: a mixed-methods study using Protection Motivation Theory

    Get PDF
    Background: Uptake of the COVID-19 booster vaccine among ethnic minority individuals has been lower than in the general population. However, there is little research examining the psychosocial factors that contribute to COVID-19 booster vaccine hesitancy in this population.Aim: Our study aimed to determine which factors predicted COVID-19 vaccination intention in minority ethnic individuals in Middlesbrough, using Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs, in addition to demographic variables.Method: We used a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected using an online survey. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews. 64 minority ethnic individuals (33 females, 31 males; mage = 31.06, SD = 8.36) completed the survey assessing PMT constructs, COVID-19conspiracy beliefs and demographic factors. 42.2% had received the booster vaccine, 57.6% had not. 16 survey respondents were interviewed online to gain further insight into factors affecting booster vaccineacceptance.Results: Multiple regression analysis showed that perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 was a significant predictor of booster vaccination intention, with higher perceived susceptibility being associated with higher intention to get the booster. Additionally, COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs significantly predictedintention to get the booster vaccine, with higher conspiracy beliefs being associated with lower intention to get the booster dose. Thematic analysis of the interview data showed that barriers to COVID-19 booster vaccination included time constraints and a perceived lack of practical support in the event ofexperiencing side effects. Furthermore, there was a lack of confidence in the vaccine, with individuals seeing it as lacking sufficient research. Participants also spoke of medical mistrust due to historical events involving medical experimentation on minority ethnic individuals.Conclusion: PMT and conspiracy beliefs predict COVID-19 booster vaccination in minority ethnic individuals. To help increase vaccine uptake, community leaders need to be involved in addressing peopleā€™s concerns, misassumptions, and lack of confidence in COVID-19 vaccination

    METROPOLITAN ENCHANTMENT AND DISENCHANTMENT. METROPOLITAN ANTHROPOLOGY FOR THE CONTEMPORARY LIVING MAP CONSTRUCTION

    Get PDF
    We can no longer interpret the contemporary metropolis as we did in the last century. The thought of civil economy regarding the contemporary Metropolis conflicts more or less radically with the merely acquisitive dimension of the behaviour of its citizens. What is needed is therefore a new capacity for imagining the economic-productive future of the city: hybrid social enterprises, economically sustainable, structured and capable of using technologies, could be a solution for producing value and distributing it fairly and inclusively. Metropolitan Urbanity is another issue to establish. Metropolis needs new spaces where inclusion can occur, and where a repository of the imagery can be recreated. What is the ontology behind the technique of metropolitan planning and management, its vision and its symbols? Competitiveness, speed, and meritocracy are political words, not technical ones. Metropolitan Urbanity is the characteristic of a polis that expresses itself in its public places. Today, however, public places are private ones that are destined for public use. The Common Good has always had a space of representation in the city, which was the public space. Today, the Green-Grey Infrastructure is the metropolitan city's monument that communicates a value for future generations and must therefore be recognised and imagined; it is the production of the metropolitan symbolic imagery, the new magic of the city

    Analytics and Intuition in the Process of Selecting Talent

    In management, decisions are expected to be based on rational analytics rather than intuition. But intuition, as a human evolutionary achievement, offers wisdom that, despite all the advances in rational analytics and AI, should be used constructively when recruiting and winning personnel. Integrating these inner experiential competencies with rational-analytical procedures leads to smart recruiting decisions
