Pengalaman Kegagalan Pada Laki-Laki Dan Perempuan

Situasi sukses dan kegagalan merupakan reperesentasi dari keinginan dan tujuan hidup yang ingin dicapai, perbedaan harapan antara laki-laki dan perempuan akan membuat perbedaan kegagalan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengalaman kegagalan pada remaja. Penelitian ini mensurvei 605 (laki-laki : 217, perempuan : 388) orang remaja di tiga perguruan tinggi berbeda di Pekanbaru, dengan menggunakan questioner (pertanyaan) terbuka. Subjek diminta untuk menjawab pertanyaan “pengalaman kegagalan apa yang paling menyakitkan dalam hidup?”, dikembangkan oleh Kim dan Park (2006). Analisis data menggunakan pendekatan Indigenous psychology, dengan kategorisasi, frekuensi, dan cross tabulasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada lima pengalaman kegagalan pada remaja, yaitu: akademik (48,1%), harapan (17%), hubungan personal (15,9), kompetisi (10,4%), manajemen diri (3,1%). Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan ada perbedaan pengalaman kegagalan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, laki-laki lebih merasa gagal dalam harapan (9,3%) dan kompetisi (6,6%), sedangkan perempuan lebih merasa gagal dalam akademik (36,4%) dan hubungan personal (10,6%). Penelitian ini memberikan pemahaman bahwa perbedaan pengalaman kegagalan antara laki-laki dan perempuan disebabkan oleh adanya perbedaan peran sosial antara laki-laki dan perempuan

Pengaruh Terpaan Kekerasan Media Audio-Visual Pada Kognisi Agresif dan Afeksi Agresif Studi Meta-Analisis

This article provides a meta-analitic review of the effect of exposure to audio visual media violence on aggressive cognition and aggressive affect. Exposure to audio visual media violence significantly enhanced aggressive cognition and aggres¬sive affect when the findings aggregated across studies, but the effect was not uniform across investigations. Only suggestive evidence was obtained concerning mode¬rators of effect, media type, sex and social situation (laboratory vs natural setting). Keywords: meta-analysis, audio vidual media violence, aggressive cognition, aggressive affec

Moral Values That Thwart Intergroup Interactions: an Investigation on the Interaction Between Indonesian Moslems and Chinese-Indonesian Christians

As one of the most established theories, the contact hypothesis has been well-researched throughout decades of investigations. However, there have been few attempts to investigate individual factors that may influence interaction processes that may lower prejudice. The present study attempts to find the individual factors that can moderate the contact – prejudice effect, that is, individual moral values. Previous researches have noted that individuals with high moral loyalty, authority, and sanctity may resist interacting with outgroups. Consequently, these individuals may possess higher prejudice. Thus, we hypothesize that individuals with higher levels of those three moral values may experience the contact effect more profoundly, in which there is stronger contact – prejudice effect. 594 Moslem participants participated in the online survey we administered. We found that moral authority and purity can moderate the contact – prejudice effect, consistent with our hypotheses. These patterns were found only for the contact – subtle prejudice effect. However, moral loyalty cannot moderate this effect. We discuss the implications by examining the Indonesian current sociopolitical conditions and how the three moral values influence the dynamics of intergroup contact

Cardiopulmonary assessment in primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, usually autosomal recessive disorder of ciliary dysfunction associated with lung involvement, which has a great impact on health. There is limited information concerning the aerobic fitness of children and adolescents with PCD. The aim of this study was to assess cardiopulmonary functional capacity and its relationship with pulmonary function and physical activity (PA) levels in patients with PCD. Design Ten patients with PCD (age 13·2±2·8years) underwent spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. PA was investigated through a questionnaire. Eight age- and body mass index-matched healthy children were enrolled as controls. Main variables were forced expiratory volume at 1s, peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak) and time spent in PA. Results Forty per cent of patients with PCD had impaired lung function as expressed by FEV 1<85% predicted. Only patients with impaired lung function exhibited reduced VO 2peak (18·1±7·9mL/kg/min). Time spent in total daily PA was slightly lower in patients than controls, with no difference between patients with normal or reduced lung function. In multiple regression models, male gender (??=0·518, P=0·018), age (??=0·752, P=0·035) and time spent in vigorous PA (??=0·353, P=0·049) were independent predictors of aerobic fitness. Conclusions Assessment of resting pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary functional capacity could contribute to the evaluation of pulmonary impairment in PCD. Given the benefit of physical exercise on airway clearance and on general health and quality of life, patients with PCD should be encouraged to adopt an active lifestyle

The hidden fragility in the heart of the athletes: A review of genetic biomarkers

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a devastating event which can also affect people in apparent good health, such as young athletes. It is known that intense and continuous exercise along with a genetic background that predisposes a person to the risk of fatal arrhythmias is a trigger for SCD. Therefore, knowledge of the athlete’s genetic conditions underlying the onset of SCD must be extended, in order to develop new effective prevention and/or therapeutic strategies. Arrhythmic features occur across a broad spectrum of cardiac diseases, sometimes presenting with overlapping phenotypes. The genetic basis of arrhythmogenic disorders has been greatly highlighted in the last 30 years, and has shown marked heterogeneity. The advent of next-generation sequencing has constantly updated our understanding of the genetic basis of arrhythmogenic diseases and is laying the foundation for precision medicine. With the exception of a few clinical cases involving a single athlete showing a highly suspected phenotype for the presence of a heart disease, there are few studies to date that analysed the applicability of genetic testing on cohorts of athletes. This evidence shows that genetic testing can contribute to the diagnosis of up to 13% of athletes; however, the presence of clinical markers is essential. This review aims to provide a reference collection on current knowledge of the genetic basis of sudden cardiac death in athletes and to review updated evidence on the effectiveness of genetic testing in early identification of athletes at risk for SCD

Peran Kepercayaan Politik Dan Kepuasan Demokrasi Terhadap Partisipasi Politik Mahasiswa

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan hubungan kepercayaan politik dan kepuasan demokrasi dengan partisipasi politik mahasiswa. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 307 mahasiswa yang berasal dari Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau, Universitas Riau dan Universitas Islam Riau. Dalam mengumpulkan data menggunakan metode survey dengan kuesioner tentang kepercayaan politik, kepuasan demokrasi serta partisipasi politik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan yang positif antara kepercayaan politik dan kepuasan demokrasi terhadap tingkat partisipasi politik mahasiswa. Artinya, semakin tinggi kepercayaan politik dan kepuasan demokrasi, maka semakin tinggi tingkat partisipasi politik mahasiswa. Sementara kepuasan demokrasi tidak berhubungan langsung dengan partisipasi politik tetapi melalui kepercayaan politik. Artinya kepercayaan politik menjadi variabel mediator antara kepuasan demokrasi dan partisipasi politik

Genetic association of CDC2 with cerebrospinal fluid tau in Alzheimer's disease

We have recently reported that a polymorphism in the cell division cycle (CDC2) gene, designated Ex6 + 7I/D, is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The CDC2 gene is located on chromosome 10q21.1 close to the marker D10S1225 linked to AD. Active cdc2 accumulates in neurons containing neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), a process that can precede the formation of NFT. Therefore, CDC2 is a promising candidate susceptibility gene for AD. We investigated the possible effects of the CDC2 polymorphism on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in AD patients. CDC2 genotypes were evaluated in relation to CSF protein levels of total tau, phospho-tau and beta-amyloid (1-42) in AD patients and control individuals, and in relation to the amount of senile plaques and NFT in the frontal cortex and in the hippocampus in patients with autopsy-proven AD and controls. The CDC2 Ex6 + 7I allele was associated with a gene dose-dependent increase of CSF total tau levels (F-2,F- 626 = 7.0, p = 0.001) and the homozygous CDC2Ex6 +7II genotype was significantly more frequent among AD patients compared to controls (p = 0.006, OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.13-2.17). Our results provide further evidence for an involvement of cdc2 in the pathogenesis of AD. Copyright (C) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel
