Extracurricular Involvement

Career paths of entry-level professionals in media fields are more ambiguous and complex than ever before. To make a successful transition into their careers, graduates must possess career management skills; they should be career adaptable. Grounded in a social psychological approach, a survey of college students ( N = 320) examined how emotional intelligence and extracurricular involvement influences career adaptability. Journalism and mass communications students were compared to other majors along these variables to bring insight into how career management training can be implemented. Results indicated a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and career adaptability, which was enhanced by extracurricular participation.

Absolute Reduction

Unemployment of educated youth is a major factor leading to youth unrest in Sri Lanka. In addition to an absolute reduction of employment opportunities, the personal aspirations of youth are not consistent with the demands of the labour-market. The historical reasons for this trend are analysed. The difficulties experienced by less affluent youth who pursue higher education are presented. The nature of psychiatric casualty among this group of students and the therapeutic problems involved are discussed.

The Usa

This study examined individuals’ recollection of gun safety conversations during childhood, and with whom these conversations occurred. Data were collected using a retrospective survey of 298 college students aged 18–54 from three campuses of a university in the USA. Respondents reported whether they recalled discussing guns or gun safety with a parent, doctor, or school official in childhood as well as what age they recalled first discussing guns or gun safety with this adult. Those growing up in gun-owning households were more likely to report gun safety conversations with parents and to report having these conversations at earlier ages. More affluent youth were more likely to report gun safety conversations with school officials and to report having gun safety discussions with adults in a variety of roles. Few respondents recalled discussing guns with a doctor or paediatrician. Future investigations are needed to assess the content and form of gun safety conversations between children and caregivers.

The Way

Chapter 5 focuses on Multisphere students who incorporated elements from both Work Hard and Play Hard geographies, balancing serious academic work, strong extracurricular involvement, and social lives in high-status venues. Most Multisphere students arrived on campus through targeted orientation programs. While these led to early and lasting friendships, Multisphere respondents’ campus acclimation processes are distinguished by a pattern of branching out, locating strong peer ties in varied social locations. The way that students in this geography float among different spheres, able to be comfortable and successful in each, makes this the most fluid of the campus geographies. There are few first-generation students in this geography, and the authors think of them in some ways as being both outliers and examples of what is possible for first-generation students.
