Academic literature on the topic 'Dissatisfactions'

In the present study, the role of locus of control and critical thinking in handling dissatisfactions in the romantic relationships of university students was examined. Five hundred and eighty university students (373 females, 207 males) from different faculties of five universities located in Ankara voluntarily participated in the study. Convenient sampling procedure was used in all phases of the study. A pilot study was conducted to adapt My Responses to Relationship Problems Scale (MRRPS) into Turkish. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) were utilized to assess factorial and dimensional structure of MRRPS. Results revealed MRRPS to be psychometrically satisfactory. In the main study, four separate, moderated regression analyses were conducted to assess the predictive role of locus of control, critical thinking, and their interaction on exit, voice, loyalty and neglect responses. Results revealed that locus of control significantly predicted exit, voice and neglect responses. Participants with external locus of control had significantly higher exit and neglect scores whereas participants with internal locus of control had significantly higher voice scores. In addition, critical thinking significantly predicted exit and voice scores. Participants with lower levels of critical thinking disposition had higher exit scores whereas participants with higher levels of critical thinking had significantly higher voice scores. Findings of the present study were discussed in the framework of locus of control, critical thinking and close relationships.

Background: While there are many positive benefits of social media, studies have shown that the use of certain types such as Facebook and Instagram may have negative health outcomes for young people including depression and eating disorders. Not much however is known about the impact of frequent exposure to Facebook and Instagram on health outcomes such as self-rated health and body fixation.   Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is an association between the frequent use of social media and self-rated health as well as body fixation among young adults between the ages of 18-25 years.   Design and method: This study was a cross-sectional study using questionnaires anonymously answered via Facebook. There were 65 respondents in the survey. The analysis was performed by using descriptive statistics and chi-test in SPSS.   Results: A larger proportion of those who frequently use social media had poorer self-rated health and more body fixation. After completing chi-squared tests, no statistically significant relationship was found for frequent use of social media and body fixation (p=0,164).   Conclusion: Frequent use of social media specifically Facebook and Instagram, has no statistically significant association with body fixation and Self-rated health.<br>Bakgrund: Det finns många positiva effekter av sociala medier, dock har studier visat att användningen av vissa typer såsom Facebook och Instagram kan ha negativa hälsoutfall för ungdomar, inklusive depression och ätstörningar. Inte mycket är dock känt om effekterna av frekvent exponering för Facebook och Instagram på hälsoresultat som självskattad hälsa och kroppsfixering. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan den frekventa användningen av sociala medier och självskattad hälsa samt kroppsfixering bland unga vuxna i åldrarna 18-25 år.   Design och metod: Denna studie var en tvärsnittsstudie som med hjälp av enkäter anonymt besvaras via Facebook. Det fanns 65 respondenter i undersökningen. Analysen genomfördes med hjälp av beskrivande statistik och chi-test i SPSS. Resultat: En större andel av dem som ofta använder sociala medier hade sämre självskattad hälsa och mer kroppsfixering. Efter chitvå-test utförts har inget statistiskt signifikant samband konstaterades för frekvent användning av sociala medier och kroppsfixering (p=0,164). Slutsats: Sociala medier har inget samband med självskattad hälsa och kroppsfixering.

Although the relationship between sleep and depression has been examined extensively, much of this has focused on objective measures, such as sleep electroencephalography, whereas subjective measures have been studied in less detail. A key focus of this thesis is the subjective perception of sleep in depression. The research questions asks whether sleep dissatisfaction in depressed participants is related to their mood, regardless of sleep timing perceptions; while sleep dissatisfaction in those without depression is more likely to be related to poor sleep timing perceptions, irrespective of mood. The initial chapters focus on 'sleep architecture'; the relationship between sleep disorders and depression; methods used to measure objective and subjective sleep; and include an overview of the observed effect of antidepressants on sleep. As it has been argued that poor sleep satisfaction in depression may be maintained by negative cognitive bias, the main prediction was that perceived sleep satsifaction, but not perceived sleep timing, would be related to perceived quality of life and mood for those with current depressive symptoms; while for those without such symptoms, perceived quality of life and mood would more likely be related to perceived sleep timing. Three original studies explored these predictions: the first indicated that, in depressed patients, sleep satisfaction perceptions (SSP; 3 out of 5 items significantly different; p<.05), and not sleep timing perceptions (STP; 2/8), were more likely to be related to perceived quality of life (QoL), while the opposite was found with the healthy controls (SSP 2/5 vs. STP 4/8). The second study replicated this finding (depressed: SSP 3/5, STP 0/11; vs. not depressed: SSP 1/5, STP 9/11; p<.05). The third original study found fewer between-group differences (mostly due to abnormally porr QoL scores in the student group), but regression analysis indicated that STP variance was related to the absence of depression, and the presence of anxiety (anxiety: 3/6 STP variables, p<.01; depression: 0/6); while SSP variance was related to the presence of depression, but not anxiety or the absence of depression (depression: 2/4 SSP variables, p<0.001; no depression: 0/4; anxiety: 0/4). In each of these studies the main hypothesis was supported. The final chapter concludes by considering the study findings and critically examining the methods; possible implications for futher research and clinical practice are explored.

Written to fulfill a partial requirement for a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Acting, this thesis explores Natalie Lurowist’s continued evolution as an actor during her time at the University of Iowa. In the spirit of “the verb,” she attempts first to philosophize about acting by questioning, categorizing, defining truths, and briefly discussing its personal meaning and implications. She then ventures back in time (with a nod to her undergraduate training) to process her process as it has evolved over the course of three years of graduate school. Similar to the students’ M.F.A. plan of study, the elements of process are broken down into the foundational subjects of movement, acting, and voice. In the final section, university productions are examined for their opportunities, challenges, and the corresponding exploration, struggles, and successes in regards to Lurowist’s evolution. Inevitably, the past leads up to the present moment and future outlook in her persistent endeavor to grow.
