Students who are concomitantly gifted and learning disabled continue to present educators with a significant quandary regarding programming. While previous studies have concentrated on the disabilities of students, this analysis focuses on their personal strengths. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of a highly structured, personally tailored enrichment program on the attitudes, self-concepts, and creative productivity of 108 gifted/LD youngsters enrolled in the fourth through sixth grades. Results indicate that year-long participation in such a program had significant positive impact on attitudes toward school, self-concept, and creative production.

The speech act of apologising aims at maintaining, restoring and enhancing interpersonal relationships. Most of the existing studies of apology in different languages and cultures follow the Brown and Levinson (1987) approach and describe apology as a ‘negative politeness’ strategy. In this paper, we study the use of apology by two groups of women from Japanese and British cultural backgrounds, in conjunction with an examination of the cultural conception of ‘self’. Using both standard test (Twenty Statements Test, TST) and questionnaire data, we demonstrate that important differences exist in the self concept of the two groups, and these differences are reflected in and impact on the women’s use of apologies in social interaction.

SummaryTwo repertory grids relating to body image and interpersonal relationships were administered to dysmorphophobic, psoriatic and control subjects. Both dysmorphophobics and psoriatics expressed dissatisfaction with their body image and, in addition, dysmorphophobics were dissatisfied with their interpersonal relationships. The dysmorphophobic group were also less happy with their self-concept than the other two groups.

Experimental Group

Playing The Interpersonal Game (IG) should result in (a) increased congruence between a player's self-concept and his self-ideal, between his ideal concept of the other player and the other player's self-ideal, and between his concept of the other player and the other player's self-concept, (b) lowered scores on the MMPI scales of Ai, D, Hy, Sc, Hs, and Pa, and an increased score on the MMPI Es scale, and (c) an improved relationship with the other player. Two groups were formed at random, an experimental group which played the IG consisting of 15 boy-girl pairs and a control group of 16 boy-girl pairs which did not play the game. Pre- and posttests, using a Self and Others Rating Scale, the MMPI, and an Interpersonal Relationship Rating Scale were administered to all Ss. Appropriate t tests comparing the mean change scores for the game group with the controls failed to confirm any of the hypotheses.

High Incidence

The authors studied functional secondary amenorrhea in young women. There was a high incidence of weight disturbance. Hormone assays demonstrated a diminution of hypothalamic-pituitary function in the underweight group. The findings from psychiatric interviews and psychological testing revealed the prevalence of psychopathology with disorders of self concept, confusion of body image, faulty mechanisms of defence in dealing with affects and impulses and disturbances of interpersonal relationships. The onset of amenorrhea was often related to situations of stress. The results suggested that psycholgical factors were primary in the development of functional secondary amenorrhea.

Childhood Problems

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of early childhood problems caused by low self-concept. Self-concept is a person's perspective, including understanding, assessment, and expectations of himself regarding both physical, psychological, and social self. Self-concept can form the cognitive structure of students to do something either take positive actions or take negative actions. Students who have a positive self-concept show good achievement in school, or high-achieving students in schools have high self-ratings and show positive interpersonal relationships. Students are able to determine realistic learning achievement targets and direct academic anxiety with hard and diligent learning, and student activities are always directed at learning, and not dependent on the teacher.

The Ideal

The article presents a theoretic-empirical study’s results of middle-aged women regularly transforming their outlook with the help of aesthetic medicine. The analysis of the appearance / outlook as a social value is carried out, as well as women’s attitude to their own outlook mediated by personal and socio-psychological factors (culture, stereotypes, interpersonal relationships, etc.), is conducted. It has been revealed that the mentality and modern life style turns anti-aging aesthetic manipulations into an element of social prestige, in their opinion, making women look more prosperous, successful, and active, approaching the standards of the «ideal» female image. The hypothesis that the important factors of a woman’s outlook dissatisfaction leading her to improve the outlook through regular use of medical manipulations is first of all her Self-concept traits associated with interpersonal relationships finds confirmation. Regular outlook transformation can be considered to be an active coping with the stress of aging.
