AbstractSexual dysfunctions are common in S.T.D. (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) Clinic attenders. Marital/relationship dysfunctions frequently follow specific sexual dysfunctions such as erectile, impotence and premature ejaculation. In addition concomitant marital therapy has been shown to enhance treatment for sexual dysfunction. Polypartnerism or multiple or serial sexual partners is also a common feature of S.T.D. clinic attenders. To date, no study has fully evaluated the social, psychological and medical determinants of this behaviour.The study examined the relationship between sexual dysfunction, marital difficulties and polypartnerism in 50 heterosexual STD clinic attenders. Thirty-one per cent of the sample had pathological scores on the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS). Forty-two per cent of the sample has pathological scores on the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Marital Satisfaction (GRIMS). There was a significant relationship between sexual dysfunction and marital dysfunction. Polypartnerism was also correlated with sexual and relationship dysfunction. It was felt that by offering treatment for specific sexual dysfunctions identified at STD clinics, marital/relationship difficulties could be averted. Subsequently polypartnerism could be reduced. By altering polypartnerism in this way, an important opportunity to influence vector spread of STD, including HIV infection is afforded.

Existing Data

Our own prior research has demonstrated that respect for disapproved others predicts and might foster tolerance toward them. This means that without giving up their disapproval of others’ way of life, people can tolerate others when they respect them as equals (outgroup respect–tolerance hypothesis). Still, there was considerable variation in the study features. Moreover, the studies are part of a larger research project that affords many additional tests of our hypothesis. To achieve integration along with a more robust understanding of the relation between respect and tolerance, we (re)analyzed all existing data from this project, and we synthesized the results with the help of meta-analytic techniques. The average standardized regression coefficient, which describes the relationship between respect and tolerance, was 0.25 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.16, 0.34]). In addition to this overall confirmation of our hypothesis, the size of this coefficient varied with a number of variables. It was larger for numerical majorities than for minorities, smaller for high-status than for low-status groups, and larger for religious than for life-style groups. These findings should inspire further theory development and spur growth in the social-psychological literature on tolerance.

Objective: To analyze the level of health literacy regarding prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and studied the relationship between the health literacy and sexual experience of Vocational students in health region 7, Thailand. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using questionnaires. The questionnaires consisted of questions on health literacy and sexual experiences. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including chi-square tests to analyze the relationship between health literacy and sexual experiences. Results: The present study participants comprised of 364 vocational students, 220 (60.4%) male students, and 144 (39.6%) female students. Almost half of the male students (47.3%) had sexual relationship by the age of 15.8 years (SD 1.7), 98.1% of them had their first sexual relationship with their girlfriends, and 81.7% used condoms. Meanwhile, 31.3% of the female students had sexual relationship by the age of 15.7 years (SD 1.3), all of them had first sexual relationship with their boyfriends, and 88.9% used condoms. Most students had low health literacy level, which included 79.5% of the male students and 62.5% of female students. There was significant relationship between sexual experience and health literacy in STD prevention in both male and female students (p<0.05). Conclusion: The present study found that the health literacy in the prevention of STDs was low among the participants. Therefore, education and health care sector should be aware of the situation and jointly develop health education programs in the prevention of STDs for the vocational students and teenagers.

And Linguistics

In this paper it is argued that, despite the welcome psycho-social emphasis in educational linguistic theories witnessed in recent decades, and with it, a rapprochement of the social sciences to the psychological sciences, the relationship between these fields has not gone far enough. The actual challenge is a move towards the unification of the social, psychological and language sciences (anthropology and sociology; cognitive science; and linguistics). A step in this interdisciplinary direction is offered by the discipline called 'cognitive anthropolinguistics', and its central concept of 'cultural cognition'. The paper discusses the implication of this concept for the field of educational linguistics, followed by a brief illustration of a cognitive-cultural application of that concept, namely the concept of 'ethnic stereotype', as part of a socio-cultural guide for a cross-cultural pedagogical grammar.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship among psychological variables and organizational functioning in a sample of managers, 65 women and 65 men. Analysis of responses to a mail questionnaire showed women, compared to men, were higher on Type A behaviour, speed and impatience, and job involvement scale scores. Women were less likely to have families than men, and men appeared to benefit more from marriage. Men also reported higher salaries with greater family support. These results support the need for research to take into account the social context within which organizational and work behaviour takes place.

BackgroundThe treatment of sexual dysfunctions underwent a great change when sex therapy was developed more than 25 years ago. Since then the treatment programme has been modified in various ways, the response to treatment evaluated and other treatment approaches introduced.MethodA review of the literature concerning the application and outcome of sex therapy and other treatments for sexual dysfunction was conducted.ResultsThe format of effective conjoint sex therapy is now fairly clear and there is good understanding of the sexual dysfunctions that respond best to this treatment and the couples most likely to benefit. Less is known about the effects of treatment of individuals without partners, bibliotherapy and combining sex therapy with marital therapy and with physical methods of treatment.ConclusionsSex therapy is now a well-established form of treatment. It should be more widely available for patients seen in psychiatry departments.

The Relationship

This study examined the mediating effects of peer status on the relationship between Intellectual Achievement Responsibility and the academic performance of 79 sixth grade students in an open-space school. When peer status was specified, a negative association was noted between achievement responsibility and academic ability for students of high status, but a positive one for students of low status. No association between achievement responsibility and ability was observed for students with medium peer status. Operation of internal achievement motivation may be influenced by the social psychological environment of the individual.

Abstract Adolescence and the problems teenagers face during this phase have a great impact in the teaching process. Divorce is one of the problems I have chosen to treat. This is due to the fact that divorce impacts the social-psychological-educational process of teenagers. The ways they experience the divorce of their parents are various. This depends on the area they live, their parents’ educational level, the relationship between parents after the divorce, the kind of relationship they had before, economic level, etc. Teenagers can display aggressive behaviour, disengage from learning, use various substances, etc. as a reaction to their parents. This is the object of my study. This research will use the qualitative method. The qualitative methods will consist in direct interviews with teenagers of the age-group of 14-18 years old, with teachers, psychologists and parents. Also consider those problems I might face during my study, on which the teenagers, or even their parents, might not express their opinion. As a conclusion we can say that based on the interviews it results that divorce has a great impact on the social-educational behaviour of teenagers.
