Not a Needy Person Among Them: A Network Analysis of Prosocial and Religious Behaviors
We used a network analysis of prosocial and religious behaviors to identify facilitating hub items that might drive broad prosocial behaviors among church members. We identified four hub items that suggest that intentional involvement of church members in service to the church and community might serve to drive further prosociality
Embracing social media in sport management education: perspectives for its use in the classroom
The rise of social media has reshaped today's society by affectinghow people communicate and build social relationships.The sports industry has not been indifferent to these shifts and embraced these communication tools.Indeed, social media is an essential management element in the day-to-day routine of sports managers. Furthermore, athletes, coaches, clubs, professional leagues, federations, and other sport actors have also adopted the use of social media. Therefore, owing to the increasing prevalence and growing role of social media in the sports industry, the mastery of digital skills related to the useof social media is one of the aspects that is most sought after by employers. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has recently boosted these demands as well as having further accelerated the process of digitalization of the sport sector. Furthermore, owing to restrictions on citizens' mobility, the pandemic has also pushed distance learning methods (where social media serve as facilitators) to take on a more prominent role in the educational context. Nevertheless, there is a lack of comprehensive studies addressing the effectof these tools in the scope of sport management education; in addition, there are few studies that provideguidelines for teachers to incorporate social media into the different areas of the teaching-learning process. Thus, this article focuses on the inclusion that social media have in sport management studies and also presents a proposal for the classification and possible application of social media which, owing to their characteristics and educational/labor potential, are considered suitable for introducing them into sport management courses. Furthermore, this studyaims to encourage the sport management teaching community to introduce social media into the dynamics of their courses, given their pedagogical value, and the positive effectthey have on student education
P-06 Faith, Hope and Love: An Integrated Conceptual Framework for Examining Religious Outcomes in a Global Church
The 2017-18 Global Church Member Survey conducted by the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is designed to assess the quinquennial Church Strategic Plan (2015-2020). In designing this survey, we considered a variety of theoretical frameworks that could explain relationships between the target outcomes in the Strategic Plan. The resulting novel theoretical framework is based on Biblical principles and an integration of a number of frameworks in the social sciences: motivation (Deci & Ryan, 2008; Greenberg, Solomon, & Arndt, 2008; Koole, Greenberg, & Pyszczynski, 2006; Pyszczynski, Greenberg, & Goldenberg, 2003; Ryan & Deci, 2000) and hope (Bernardo, 2010; Snyder, 2002) from psychology, faith development (Dudley, 1994; Ji, 2004) from religious studies, social bonding (Hirschi, 1969; Yang et al., 2017) from sociology, and social capital (Häuberer, 2011; Putnam, 2003) from economics and development. Our integration proposes that religious actions are motivated by on-going social relationships and hope for the future; those motivations can be directed towards other human beings or towards God. In our poster, we will provide a description of this integrated framework, summarize the research literature justifying the framework, and propose lines of research that are emphasized through this theoretical framing. In particular, we focus on the possibilities within this data set for examining the motivational profiles (the levels and combinations of the four motivational types in the framework) of individuals with disabilities (Kaye & Raghavan, 2002; Snyder, 2000), with different family routines (Fiese, 2006), with different conversion experiences (Granqvist, 2003), and from different historical-cultural backgrounds (Stark, 2011)
Corelates of Legalism in a Global Sample of Seventh-day Adventists
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is often identified as a strict church (Iannaccone, 1994; Chen et al., 2019; McBride et al., 2020) in that it has specific dietary and behavioral requirements for joining and continued membership. These include abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs as well as a strong emphasis on vegetarianism (McBride et al., 2020). This has resulted in longevity advantage for Adventists (Fraser et al., 2020). This focus on behavioral requirements have resulted in critics viewing Adventists as legalists (WELS, 2022). The purpose of this research is to examine the issue of legalism among Adventist Church members
Trends in Substance Use in a Prohibitionist University Compared to General College Populations
Researchers at the Institute for the Prevention of Addictions have conducted surveys on health risk behaviors among Andrews University students from 1995 to 2023. In examinations of five data points between 1995 and 2018, the gap in the rates of substance use between Andrews University students and a general U.S. college population remained about the same each time period. However, both groups tended to increase or decrease use over the same time periods. Data from the March 2023 collection period will be included in the presentation and will be examined to see if cultural levelling has occurred or if Andrews students have been able to resist the pull of cultural levelling

Health System Enablers and Barriers to Continuity of Care for First Nations Peoples Living with Chronic Disease
Introduction: Failings in providing continuity of care following an acute event for a chronic disease contribute to care inequities for First Nations Peoples in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa (New Zealand). Methods: A rapid narrative review, including primary studies published in English from Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Central, concerning chronic diseases (cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and related complications), was conducted. Barriers and enablers to continuity of care for First Nations Peoples were explored considering an empirical lens from the World Health Organization framework on integrated person-centred health services. Results: Barriers included a need for more community initiatives, health and social care networks, and coaching and peer support. Enabling strategies included care adapted to patients’ cultural beliefs and behavioural, personal, and family influences; continued and trusting relationships among providers, patients, and caregivers; and provision of flexible, consistent, adaptable care along the continuum. Discussion: The support and co-creation of care solutions must be a dialogical participatory process adapted to each community. Conclusions: Health and social care should be harmonised with First Nations Peoples’ cultural beliefs and family influences. Sustainable strategies require a co-design commitment for well-funded flexible care plans considering coaching and peer support across the lifespan
