This research aimed to determine the correlation between level of depression, anxiety and stress among counselling students at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. This research adopted a correlational study with a quantitative approach in order to observe the correlation between the variables. Eighty six (86) respondents participated in this study. The study was conducted using Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) instrument. The result showed that there was a significant relationship between the level of depression, anxiety and stress among counselling students at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. This research also provides awareness towards the counselling students on their level of depression, anxiety and stress. For future research, it is suggested that personality test and scoring test be conducted for level of depression, anxiety and stress in order to see the correlations between variables.Keywords: DASS-21; depression; anxiety; stress; counselling student; Malaysia

Inference Task

Recently, Jardri and Denève proposed that positive symptoms in schizophrenia could be generated by an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in brain networks, which leads to circular inference, an aberrant form of inference where messages (bottom up and/or top down) are counted more than once and thus, are overweighted [1]. Moreover, they postulated that psychotic symptoms are caused by a system that “expects what it senses” and as a result attributes extreme weight even to weak sensory evidences. Their hypothesis was then validated by a probabilistic inference task (in prep.). Here, we put forward a new experimental study that could validate the circular inference framework in the domain of visual perception. Initially, we restricted ourselves to healthy controls, whose tendencies for psychotic symptoms were measured using appropriate scales. We investigated the computations performed by perceptual systems when facing ambiguous sensory evidence. In those cases, perception is known to oscillate between two interpretations, a phenomenon known as bistable perception. More specifically, we asked how prior expectations and visual cues affect the dynamics of bistability. Participants looked at a Necker cube that was continuously displayed on the screen and reported their percept every time they heard a sound [2]. We manipulated sensory evidence by adding shades to the stimuli and prior expectations by giving different instructions concerning the presence of an implicit bias [3]. We showed that both prior expectations and visual cues significantly affect bistability, using both static and dynamic measures. We also found that the behavior could be well fitted by Bayesian models (“simple” Bayes, hierarchical Bayesian model with Markovian statistics). Preliminary results from patients will also be presented.

Preliminary Study

This preliminary study explored the level of plagiarism awareness among Malaysian undergraduates when carrying out their summative assessment. In the field of language assessment, summative assessment in the form of graded task is regarded as an effective tool to exercise change as it could highly influence the teaching and learning. However, concern regarding students’ plagiarism behaviour is increasing despite the exposure given to them by their respective instructors. Therefore, this study aimed to fill this gap by investigating if there was any relationship between the students’ perceived plagiarism awareness with their Turnitin similarity index score of their summative assessments. The graded task under investigation was in the form of argumentative essay. Using a quantitative approach, student questionnaire and document analysis were utilised to elicit data from 30 undergraduates. It was found that although the students appeared to be aware of plagiarism, their practices in their summative assessment indicated otherwise.

Preliminary Study

Emerging technologies offer the potential to expand the domain of the future workforce to extreme environments, such as outer space and alien terrains. To understand how humans navigate in such environments that lack familiar spatial cues this study examined spatial perception in three types of environments. The environments were simulated using virtual reality. We examined participants’ ability to estimate the size and distance of stimuli under conditions of minimal, moderate, or maximum visual cues, corresponding to an environment simulating outer space, an alien terrain, or a typical cityscape, respectively. The findings show underestimation of distance in both the maximum and the minimum visual cue environment but a tendency for overestimation of distance in the moderate environment. We further observed that depth estimation was substantially better in the minimum environment than in the other two environments. However, estimation of height was more accurate in the environment with maximum cues (cityscape) than the environment with minimum cues (outer space). More generally, our results suggest that familiar visual cues facilitated better estimation of size and distance than unfamiliar cues. In fact, the presence of unfamiliar, and perhaps misleading visual cues (characterizing the alien terrain environment), was more disruptive than an environment with a total absence of visual cues for distance and size perception. The findings have implications for training workers to better adapt to extreme environments.
