Methods: A total of 286 physical education teachers, 98 female (X̅age = 35.65 ± 6.90) and 188 male (X̅age = 38.13 ± 8.87), working in public and private schools, participated in the study voluntarily. Data collection tools included a demographic information form along with the“Social Appearance Anxiety Scale” and “Eating Attitudes Test”. Descriptive statistics, the t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that social appearance anxiety and eating attitudes did not differ according to the variables of gender and exercise regime. However, social appearance anxiety scores were found to differ according to socioeconomic status, with participants reporting higher income levels exhibiting greater appearance anxiety. A weak positive relationship was revealed between social appearance anxiety and body mass index.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the strength of the relationship between a retrospective evaluation of the experienced social support given by grandparents and the material status of the family with the quality of life of the grown-up grandchildren in families of different structures. The formulated expectations have been verified with the Social Support Scale (SSS), Student’s Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS) and an individual personal survey. The obtained results show that in families of single mothers, the emotional and informative support offered by grandparents was a significant factor improving the quality of the life of the grandchildren. In a complete family, however, the significant forms of support from grandparents were esteem support and its other forms, except for informative support. Moreover, the material wealth of the original family was shown to be an important predictor of the evaluation of the quality of life of the grandchildren; it was judged more negatively by adolescent children of single mothers.

The present study examined the relation between cognitive performance and social networking in older adults from Canada and Greece. The two groups were matched on age, gender, education level, and MMSE scores. Participants reported the amount of both off-line and online networking, as well as the social support received in these contexts. Immediate and delayed recall, speed of processing, and executive functioning were also assessed. Online networking was associated with executive functioning. Interestingly, country context didn’t moderate the relationship, despite differences observed between Greeks and Canadians in executive functioning and online networking. Our findings suggest that online social participation could serve both as a source of social support and as cognitive training, benefiting older adults’ cognitive vitality. The findings are discussed in relation to the characteristics of the specific countries, stressing the need to explore the effects of online social networking and participation on cognitive function in the aging population.
