The paper presents data of a research on psychomotor abilities in children aged 6—7 years (the sample included 109 children of Tomsk kindergarten #4 “Montessori) that was aimed at improving their teaching and physical training and providing recommendations for parents.The children’s psychophysiological functions were studied using a special equipment called "Sports Psychophysiologist" (manufactured by "Analytic" research centre, Russia, Omsk).When considering the features of psychomotor development and physical education in children of preschool age, one must take into account the mutual connections between the types of the nervous system, perceived analyzers, age and sex of children.The results of the study enabled us to provide individual recommendations for parents to help them better understand their child’s behaviour, assess the risks of psychological maladaptation at school, master the effective ways of stimulating and regulating motor activity, learn the optimal balance of work and rest for their children and the level of their stress resistance in new situations.

In order to explore the influence of an isolated congenital hand malformation on psychomotor development, we performed an exploratory, observational study on 18 children with triphalangeal thumbs. The investigative procedure consisted of a hand function examination, a semi-structured interview with the mother about the development of the child, the so-called “Hand test”, and the “Child Behaviour Check List”. Our observations suggest specific developmental difficulties in fine motor skills and language development, but the children showed no signs of behavioural psychopathology.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Psychomotor re-education represents a multidimensional therapeutic approach in dealing with children and adults with psychomotor disorders. Therapeutic programs should be based on individual differences, abilities and capabilities, relationships, feelings and individual developmental needs as well as emotional condition of a child. Body and movement as the bases of the treatment. A movement, glance, touch, voice and word, all being an integral part of a process of psychomotor re-education, are used with a purpose of helping children to discover their own body, their feelings, needs, behaviour. When moving, children discover the space of their own bodily nature, and, subsequently, gestural space and objective space. The body represents a source of pleasure and the freedom of movement, as well as one?s own existence, are soon to be discovered. Practical application. An adequate assessment is a precondition to design a work plan, select the best exercises for each child individually and direct the course of therapy. This is the most suitable method for treating children with slow or disharmonious development, mentally challenged children, children with speech and behaviour disorders. It is also used in the treatment of children with dyspraxic difficulties, difficulties in practognostic and gnostic development, pervasive developmental disorder and children with lateral dominance problems. Conclusion. Therefore, a systematic observation seems to be necessary as well as an increased number of research projects aimed at assessing results obtained by exercises in order to get a more precise insight into the process of re-education, selection of exercises, duration period and possible outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The measurement of the effects of an antidepressant on psychomotor ability and cognitive processing tests is important for three reasons. Firstly, because a change in psychomotor and cognitive function is one of the truly objective assessments of psychotropic activity of a drug. Secondly, since batteries of psychological tests are often analogues of the essential aspects of real-life behaviour, performance changes can reflect the potential impairment of the activities of everyday living such as car driving, operating industrial machinery, and domestic tasks. Thirdly, since Widlocher (1983a,b) has proposed that mental and psychomotor retardation are a primary expression of depressive illness, psychomotor and cognitive tests can be used to measure the extent to which a putative antidepressant affects these psychological functions. Psychopharmacological testing can thus indicate the ‘safety’ of the drug in clinical usage by establishing an index of the behavioural ‘toxicity’ of the substance. It can also objectively determine the magnitude of the drug's psychoactive properties, and the extent to which a particular compound affects information processing and cognitive function. Substances which have a negative action on these aspects of psychological integrity could be regarded as counter-therapeutic, as they are making psychomotor and mental functions worse.

Abstract A person’s behaviour is controlled by five independent regulators – symbol, image, thought, sense and feeling. In this article, the author describes particularities of a person’s behaviour control in simulated stochastic conditions of symbolic danger. An ability of a person to control his/her behaviour under symbolic danger could be measured by a device designed for researching person’s behaviour under stochastic conditions. It was defined that symbolic danger could harmonise a person’s behaviour and cause him/her to act more constructively. The results of a psychological experiment indicated that under stochastic conditions of symbolic danger, efficiency of solving psychomotor tasks depends on the person’s ability to act under situation of uncertainty in space and time and alternative. Sensor-perceptual and symbolic and visual spheres that developed in a proper way allow to provide constructive control of person’s behaviour under situations related to lack of time or psychological tension. Control of behaviour under stochastic conditions of symbolic danger significantly depends on the level of energetic potential of a person. It was defined that participants of the psychological experiment with a high level of energetic potential acted more effectively under symbolic danger compared to persons with low energetic potential. In case of complication of psychomotor tasks, energetic potential of a person, in combination with sensor and motor skills, process of thinking and imagination, consolidate his/her behaviour in stochastic conditions of symbolic danger.

AbstractPrevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children has been increasing over the years. These children, when compared to typically growing children, face challenges in leading a day-to-day life. Other than the social interactions, communication and cognitive skills, psychomotor skill deficits are also found in them. This paper focuses on enhancement of psychomotor skills in children with ASD by employing a mechatronic training kit. Training using this kit aims at developing skills like ‘palmar grasp’, ‘wrist rotation’ and ‘eye-hand coordination’. Trials were conducted with six children with autism aged between four and nine years. Significant improvements were seen in these children both in skills and in behaviour after the training. Thus, teaching psychomotor skills to children with autism using the newly developed mechatronic door training kit is found to be working and the results are encouraging.

Full textAbstract:
Background.
Tripping is a common factor in falls and a typical safety strategy to avoid tripping on steps or stairs is to increase foot clearance over the step edge. In the present study we asked whether the perceived height of a step could be increased using a visual illusion and whether this would lead to the adoption of a safer stepping strategy, in terms of greater foot clearance over the step edge. The study also addressed the controversial question of whether motor actions are dissociated from visual perception.
Methodology/Principal Findings.
21 young, healthy subjects perceived the step to be higher in a configuration of the horizontal-vertical illusion compared to a reverse configuration (p = 0.01). During a simple stepping task, maximum toe elevation changed by an amount corresponding to the size of the visual illusion (p<0.001). Linear regression analyses showed highly significant associations between perceived step height and maximum toe elevation for all conditions.
Conclusions/Significance.
The perceived height of a step can be manipulated using a simple visual illusion, leading to the adoption of a safer stepping strategy in terms of greater foot clearance over a step edge. In addition, the strong link found between perception of a visual illusion and visuomotor action provides additional support to the view that the original, controversial proposal by Goodale and Milner (1992) of two separate and distinct visual streams for perception and visuomotor action should be re-evaluated.College of Optometrists

Full textAbstract:
Momentary lapses of responsiveness frequently impair vigilance and sustained goal-directed behaviour, sometimes with serious consequences. The literature underpinning research into lapses of responsiveness has generally referred to these lapses as sustained attention lapses. Currently, this literature is divided between two competing theories. On one hand, there is the mindlessness theory and, on the other, the resource depletion theory. Mindlessness theorists propose that sustained attention lapses result from the subject disengaging from sustained tasks due to their monotony and low exogenous support for attention. Conversely, the resource depletion theorists propose that sustained attention lapses arise because demands for endogenus attentional resources outstrip supply, which leads to substantially delayed response and/or errors.
In the present study, the predictions from the mindlessness and resource depletion theories were investigated by contrasting performance on attention tasks that differed in cognitive workloads. In the lesser demanding task, participants performed a simple psychomotor vigilance test (PVT). In the more demanding task, the PVT was undertaken concurrently with a continuous tracking task. The higher workload imposed by the dual task should reduce task monotony and the higher attentional requirement should increase the demand for attentional resources. If the mindlessness theory is correct the dual task should result in improved vigilance and reduce sustained attention lapses. If the resource theory is correct, the added attentional demand in the dual task should decrease vigilance and increase sustained attention lapses.
However, there are other types of lapses that the literature has not always clearly separated from lapses of sustained attention. One such lapse is the microsleep. Microsleeps are brief periods of non-responsiveness (0.5–15 s) associated with overt signs of drowsiness. The two theories of vigilance impairment provide contrasting explanations in the traditional vigilance literature, but neither theory addresses lapses due to microsleep events, which remains largely ignored.
Microsleeps are thought to emanate from a homeostatic drive for sleep/rest and a complex interaction between the brain’s arousal and attention systems and, therefore, depend on the type of task being undertaken to modulate propensity for microsleeps. For example, a more demanding and engaging task should counteract the homeostatic drive for sleep and rest by increasing arousal. If true, tasks that increase cognitive workloads may lead to a reduction in microsleeping propensity.
We aimed to test the proposal that microsleep propensity is mediated by task by including in our study a continuous tracking task, which has previously been shown to elicit microsleeps. This task may, because of its consistency and repetitiveness, be considered a boring task. Moreover, it lacks any sudden stimulus onsets and, therefore, can be considered a less engaging task than the dual-task, which features sudden onsets. If more microsleeps were found in the tracking task compared to the dual task this would provide support for the proposition that a task-generated increase in mindlessness would increase microsleep rates. Conversely, if more microsleeps occur during the dual-task, then this suggests that factors other than mindlessness influence microsleeping.
Twenty-three non-sleep deprived participants – 12 females and 11 males – with an average age of 26.3 years (range 21–40 years) and an average Epworth Sleepiness Score of 5.1 (range 0–10), completed the tasks during the early afternoon. They completed the two different tasks separately and concurrently (as a dual task), with the three conditions presented in a counterbalanced order. The PVT task was an extended 30-min version of the standard 10-min PVT used in many vigilance studies to match the duration of the continuous tracking task. In this task, the participant had to respond to a discrete randomly-presented visual stimulus. As per convention, failure to respond within 500 ms constituted an attention lapse. The 30-min continuous tracking task required the participant to use a floor-mounted joystick, to monitor and track a target randomly-moving on a computer screen. In this second task, lapses show as periods of flat tracking that, when associated with overt signs of sleepiness and at least 80 % partial eye-closure, are classified as microsleeps. The dual task was the PVT and tracking tasks being undertaken concurrently.
Both sustained attention lapses and microsleep rates were affected by task differences. Using only the results from participants who had at least one sustained attention lapse in either the PVT or dual task (N = 23), it was found that a participant was more likely to experience a sustained attention lapse during the more demanding dual task then the PVT task (median 15 vs. 3; range 1–74 vs. 0–76, Wilcoxon z = 3.7, p = .001). Conversely, of those participants who had at least one microsleep in either the tracking or dual task (N = 12), they were more likely to experience a microsleep during the more monotonous tracking task than the dual task (median 0 vs. 0; range 0–18 vs. 0–1, Wilcoxon z = 2.3, p = .022). Time-on-task also had an effect. Sustained attention lapses increased with time-on-task during the PVT task and dual task (χ2 5, N 23 = 48.69, p = .001; and χ2 5, N 23 = 16.33, p = .006 respectively). Moreover, sustained attention lapses increased at a greater rate during the more cognitively demanding dual task (F5, 264 = 4.02, p = .002). Microsleeps also increased with time-on-task, but only during the tracking task and not during the dual task χ2 2, N 23 = 6.72, p = .035).
The pattern of results supports the resource depletion theory over the mindlessness theory. When the cognitive workload increased, sustained attention lapses were more frequent. Conversely, the results also demonstrated that when the cognitive workload was decreased, the risk of lapsing due to microsleeps increased. Clarifying this relationship between cognitive workload and two types of lapses of responsiveness, sustained attention lapses and microsleeps, is important if we are to avoid inadvertently increasing lapses of responsiveness. Both sustained attention lapses and microsleeps can have serious real-life consequences and, therefore, any contribution towards a potent, preventative strategy is important.

Full textAbstract:
The infant motor development is the individual s ability to perform increasingly complex functions and is associated with age. The development is due to the requirement of the task, the biology of the individual and the interaction with the environment in which it entered, and this interaction acts decisively and may aggravate or mitigate the impact of development on biological risk. Motor delays at this stage of development cause damage that may extend into adulthood. The present study aims at analyzing the influence of environmental determinants on motor development of children from public daycare centers in Aracaju / SE, whose instrument of data collection was the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS). It was observed that 58.82% of children had a normal motor development, 29.42% suspect motor development and 11.76% remaining have delayed motor development. The results indicate that the length of stay of children in day care centers are not leveraging the appropriate motor development of children, as it is not perceived improvement in motor behavior of children aged 12-18 months, when compared to children attending the nurseries for a shorter time (06-12 months old). In general it can be concluded that the process of motor development is influenced by environmental factors such as lack of good opportunities stimulus via appropriate toys, wider spaces to play and explore the environment among others, limiting motor performance of children in day care centers.O desenvolvimento motor infantil é a capacidade do indivíduo para realizar funções cada vez mais complexas e está relacionado com a idade. O desenvolvimento é decorrente da exigência da tarefa, da biologia do indivíduo e da interação com o ambiente na qual esta inserido, sendo que esta interação atua de modo decisivo, podendo atenuar ou agravar o impacto do risco biológico no desenvolvimento. Atrasos motores nesta fase do desenvolvimento acarretam prejuízos que podem se estender até a fase adulta. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a influência dos determinantes ambientais no desenvolvimento motor de crianças das creches públicas de Aracaju/SE, cujo instrumento de coleta dos dados foi a Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS). Observou-se que 58,82% das crianças apresentaram um desenvolvimento motor normal; 29,42% desenvolvimento motor suspeito e o restante 11,76% apresentam atraso no desenvolvimento motor. Os resultados obtidos nos indicam que o tempo de permanência das crianças nas creches não está potencializando o adequado desenvolvimento motor das crianças, já que não se percebe melhora no comportamento motor das crianças na faixa etária de 12-18 meses, quando comparada as crianças frequentadoras das creches há menos tempo (06-12 meses de idade). De modo geral pode-se concluir que o processo de desenvolvimento motor sofre influência de fatores ambientais como falta de boas oportunidades de estímulo via brinquedos adequados, espaços mais amplos para brincar e explorar o ambiente entre outros, limitando o desempenho motor das crianças nas creches.

Certral dopaminergic system involves two major physiological functions, i.e., motivational activity and motor coordination. It is generally believed that the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway is mainly concerned with the expression of motivated behavior, while, the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway is mostly related to motor coordination. The evidence that serotonergic system can modulate the function of these two pathways suggests that serotonin (5-HT) and related agents may possess potential therapeutic value on certain mental or motor disorders caused by imbalance of the dopaminergic system. This investigatin was designed to test the modulatory effect of several serotonergic agents on behaviors thought to be related to the dopaminergic system. In Experiment 1, four serotonergic agents, including DOI (5-HT2 agonist), amperozide and ritanserin (5-HT2 antagonist), and MDL72222(5-HT3 antagonist), were tested on animals with increased locomotion induced by two dopamine agonists, amphetamine and nomifensine. It was found that amperozide, ritanserin and MDL72222 inhibited motor activity induced by amphetamine, and that amperozide and MDL72222, but not ritanserin, inhibited motor activity induced by nomifensine. In Experiment 2, the same agents were administered to animals of haloperidol-induced catalepsy model. It revealed that only DOI and amperozide reduced the degree of rigidity significantly, but not ritanserin and MDL72222. In Experiment 3, the effect of amperozide on rearing and sniffing (with head switch) behaviors of the animal enhanced by treatment of amphetamine or nomifensine was assessed. The former behavior was considered to be a locomotive activity and the latter stereotyped. The result is that amperozide significantly reduced the frequency of rearing but not that of sniffing -head switch Furthermore, amperozide was tested on the circling behavior induced by amphetamine with the animal bearing right-sided lesion either on the striatum or on the nucleus accumbens. It was found that amperozide reduced the frequency of both right and left turns in the striatal-lesioned rats, and reduced right but not of left turns in the accumbens-lesioned group. The result suggest that amperozide may exert greater influence on the mesolimbic than on the nigrostriatal pathway. Finally in Experiment 4, it was demonstrated that amperozide increased extracellular content of dopamine in the striatum and nucleus accumbens as measured by the technique of microdialysis Depletion of 5-HT with p-CPA did not affect the result. It is therefore concluded that the modulatory role of amperozide may not only be dependent upon its 5-HT2 antagonistic actions but also block the dopamine uptake transporter.

The psychomotor intervention was carried out in a scholar context, in individual or group sessions, with children of the preschool and of the 1st grade. It was based essentially in the problems with higher incidence in these cycles, such as behaviour problems, learning difficulties and attention difficulties. In order to enhance all the work accomplished, the institutional characterization and the theoretical approach to the problems mentioned above and directly implicated in the trainee’s proceeding. The accomplishment of the professional practice includes the psychomotor intervention with the cases followed in the various contexts. As well as in a more detailed, the presentation of a case study covering all the data inherent in the implementation of the pedagogicaltherapeutic plan.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays nearly more than half of human beings on the planet are directly or indirectly exposed to an “evolutionary” novel physical agent: the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by cellular phones, base stations, as well as other types of wireless communication technologies. More than 10 years ago several studies reported that cognitive functions of human beings may have been altered while exposed to radiofrequency (RF) EMFs. Yet, the genuine effect of these non-ionizing radiations on human behaviour was not replicated by several other recent and more methodologically robust studies. Latest reviews and metanalyses confirmed the paucity of evidence in favour of psychomotor and cognitive effects of acute RF EMF exposure on human volunteers in well controlled laboratory settings. Thus, despite persisting concerns on potential biologic effects of acute RF EMFs irradiation, there is substantial lack of evidence that RF radiation can affect cognitive functions in humans.

Full textAbstract:
The first studies on humans addressing cognitive functioning changes as a consequence of radiofrequency (RF) EMFs exposure, date back to almost 20 years ago. The effects on human behaviour showed in those pioneering works indicated a somewhat improvement of performance under the exposure to the signal, compared with sham exposure. These first and striking results were not fully replicated by subsequent studies that were characterized by a more methodological robustness and attention to exposure aspects. In accordance with this view, latest reviews and metanalyses have confirmed the paucity of evidence and the lack of reliability of psychomotor and cognitive effects of acute RF EMF exposure on human volunteers, particularly when assessed in well controlled laboratory settings. Thus, despite the public opinion about potential biologic effects of acute RF EMFs irradiation, it can be concluded that to date there is substantial lack of evidence about a negative influence of non-ionizing radiations on cognitive functioning in humans.

Businesses are automated, complex, unpredictable, operating in a global marketplace with limited collective creative problem-solving intelligence for advancing performance. This chapter explores how business advance and succeed, by maximising individual creativity and problem-solving abilities. Literature reviewed in the last two decades revealed the latest evolving business trends, allowing for compared human versus automation performance, compared ROI and risk of innovative business factors, compared business beneficiary intelligence to consciousness levels, and correlated co-creative intelligence elements of psychomotor, cognitive and affective intelligences to engagement, awareness, and changed behaviour skills. A CAPS model is a management cascaded solution for co-creating business intelligence by enhancing individual creativity using these 15 elements: consciousness, know yourself, brain knowledge, imagination, problem solving, creative thinking, speed reading, mind maps, mind management, memory skills, responsibility, goal setting, stress, success, and accelerated learning.

Over the past twenty years, evolving technologies have allowed us to map the activity of the brain with unprecedented precision. Initially driven by medical goals, neuroscience has advanced to the level where it is rapidly transforming our understanding of emotions, empathy, reasoning, love, morality, and free will. What is at stake today is our sense of the self: who we are, how we act, how we experience the world, and how we interact with it. By now nearly all of our subjective mental states have been tied to some particular patterns of cortical activity. Beyond the radical philosophical implications, these studies have far-reaching social consequences. Neuroscientists are authoritatively establishing norms and deviations; they make predictions about our behavior based on processes that lie outside our conscious knowledge and control. The insights of neuroscience are being imported into the social sphere, informing debates in jurisprudence, forensics, healthcare, education, business, and politics. A recent collection of essays, compiled by Semir Zeki, a leading European proponent of applied neuroscience, in collaboration with the American lawyer Oliver Goodenough, calls for further integration of lab findings into discussions of public policy and personnel training....

The core clinical features of depression include physical (sleep and appetite disturbances, psychomotor changes, fatigue, low energy), emotional (sadness, loss of interest, anhedonia), and cognitive (guilt, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, concentration and memory difficulties, indecisiveness) symptoms. DSM-5 classifies depressive disorders in adults as major depressive disorder (MDD), other depressive disorders, and persistent depressive disorder; the latter includes chronic MDD, unremitted MDD, and dysthymia (chronic, low-grade depressive symptoms). DSM-5 also includes specifiers, or sub-types, of MDD that have implications for prognosis and treatment choice and selection. The differential diagnosis of depression includes bereavement, bipolar disorder, and other medical or substance-induced conditions.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a background and a worked example of using the Instructional Design System (ISD) as applied to a complex real life example. Specifically, the authors demonstrate the use of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) for building the instruction curriculum of the skills of intubation. The majority of the planning time should be spent on the Needs Analysis and Design. The Learning Objectives, prepared during the Design phase, should be written as Objective Observable Behaviors, which can then serve as the assessments for Evaluation. The content includes two examples of the application of ADDIE: firstly a task that requires a large cognitive component and where simulators and mannequins are readily available. Secondly, a task that requires a high level of psychomotor skills where suitably realistic mannequins are not available, and virtual reality needs to be used as an additional educational modality.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Driving is a complex day-to-day activity that employs a variety of cognitive and psychomotor functions in harmony, many of which are known to be affected acutely by CNB intoxication which could in turn pose a significant public health risk. The recent legalization of both recreational and/or medicinal marijuana in several states has thus created an urgent need to better understand the effects of CNB on such functions in the context of driving. The present study employs a longitudinal, double-blind, placebo- 2 active dose study to investigate the effects of CNB on a variety of driving-related behaviors in a controlled, naturalistic simulated environment. Methods: The current study employed N=37 subjects (N=25 male, frequent cannabis users, mean age 24.25+7.01), each exposed to a placebo, low and high dose of CNB on three separate days. On each day, following a single acute inhaled 0.5 g dose of either 0%, 3% or 5-7% of THC via a desktop vaporizer, subjects drove a virtual driving simulator (RTI SimVehicle platform) three times inside an MRI scanner and once out of scanner, randomized, and dispersed throughout an eight hour daily period. During each driving session three distinct real time behavioral tasks corresponding to lane-keeping following simulated wind gusts (operational), lead car following (tactical) and safe overtaking (strategic) were assessed and corresponding behavioral data were computed using custom Matlab scripts. Data were analyzed using a mixed model framework in SPSS v24 which included dose, session, instrument (desktop v MRI), dose*session, dose*instrument and session*instrument as primary factors, covarying for age and sex. Results: Intoxicated subjects made significantly fewer gas pedal corrections (p<0.02) during the car following task and similarly fewer corrections to the steering reversal rate (p<0.02) during the lane weaving task, suggesting reduced awareness under the influence of cannabis. In addition we found that several variables showed significant differences in terms of estimates captured throughout the day suggesting that overall risk taking lessened as the day progressed and CNB effects wore off. Also, data trends suggested that under the high dose subjects took longer to return to baseline from their ‘impaired’ driving patterns. Key metrics that showed such significant daily effects included mean headway (p<0.001) and time to collision (p=0.02) from the car following task, deviation of lane position (p=0.03) from the lane weaving task, median gap (p=0.02) and overtaking speed (p=0.02) from the overtaking task. Although many driving measurements differed depending on whether driving was done in MRI or at a desktop setting, these differences had no relationship to different drug dose levels. Conclusion: In summary, key driving functions affected under higher doses of CNB largely agreed current cross sectional literature. Generally, largest impairments in driving behavior seemed to occur within 1-4 hours after drug exposure, which might have important implications for real life driving situations. Our preliminary analyses yield numerous metrics that changed throughout the day, suggesting broad-based impairment on many metrics commonly used to quantify driving performance and risk.

Full textAbstract:
"One of the major concerns among the relevant public authorities during the 2019 coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic is the attitude and behavior of the Malaysian society regarding compliance with self-care Covid-19. Although the number of Covid-19 cases is decreasing, public authorities, such as the Malaysian Ministry of Health continually remind people to adhere to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Covid-19 to reduce the number of cases. To support the authorities’ efforts, a one-day self-care Covid-19 programme involving 10 youths (3 males & 7 females) with a mean age of 17.35 (SD=3.36) was implemented in Bongol village, Tamparuli. To adhere the Covid-19 SOP regulation which prohibits a large number of people from gathering in a confined, crowded and closed spaces, only a few participants were involved. The programme, which was conducted at the Bongol village community hall, involved various organized activities emphasising the three elements of attitude: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Before the programme began, all the participants were registered, and their body temperatures scanned to ensure that they were free from any Covid-19 symptoms. Each participant was given a mask and a small bottle of hand sanitiser that could be used throughout the programme. The activities comprised an ice-breaker, a talk on personal self-hygiene, a 20.02-minute self-care video produced by 28 psychology students, personal self-reflections by the participants, a group exercise, a community song, and a two-way discussion on self-care. The Covid-19 self-care programme, implemented with guidance from the Yale Attitude Change Model, emphasizes the practical issue of ‘who says what to whom and with what effects. The participants’ attitude was measured before and after they completed the one-day programme. The results of a Wilcoxon signed-ranked test study showed that there is a significant difference between the participants’ pre- and post-study attitudes towards self-care. The study results showed that the Covid-19 self-care programme, which is based on the social psychology approach, can help foster positive youth attitudes towards self-care. In regard to the authorities’ efforts to lower the number of Covid-19 cases to zero, it is suggested that each party needs (either governmental and non-governmental agencies) to support the Covid-19 campaign and programme by sharing and delivering self-care messages in creative ways to Malaysian communities, especially those in rural areas."
