Abstract This paper questions the conventional interpretation of the doe-comparison in Ps 42:1 based on linguistic indications and a biological phenomenon. When the verb ערג is considered as a form of crying out and not of longing, it can be recognised that the næpæš is not only trying to reach God but is also constructively influencing the praying person towards this goal. This leads to a new perspective on the self-perception of the praying person and the role of the næpæš throughout the prayer. After initially rejecting the needs of the næpæš, in the last stanza, the praying person is finally transforming the performative screaming into formulated prayer: lament, petition, and praise. By turning to lament they are taking up the doe’s call and vindicating the næpæš’s intentions as essential and justified expressions of the self.

Two experiments are reported that investigate the mediational role of social influence in the self-perception of exertion. In Experiment 1, subjects performed three 15-min trials on a cycle ergometer at 25%, 50%, and 75% VO2max, both in the presence of another performer (a coactor) and alone. The results indicated that subjects reported lower RPEs when performing with another, particularly at the moderate (50%) intensity. In Experiment 2, subjects performed one 15-min trial at 50% of VO2max, both alone and in the presence of another performer (coactor) exhibiting nonverbal "cues" that the work was either extremely easy or extremely difficult. The results indicated that subjects exposed to the low-intensity cue information reported lower RPEs than when performing alone. Mo significant differences were noted for those subjects exposed to the high-intensity cue information. These findings are discussed in terms of a self-presentational analysis. That such effects were evidenced without physiological responses (VO2, VE, HR) accompanying them supports the notion that psychological variables can play a significant role in the self-perception of exertion. These results, however, are limited to untrained individuals exercising at moderate intensities.

  La adolescencia es un período de transición, comprendido entre la niñez y la etapa adulta, en la cual se presentan cambios físicos, emocionales y biopsicosociales que generan inestabilidad e incertidumbre. En ocasiones esto puede desembocar en el desarrollo de una baja autoestima producto de un autoconcepto o autopercepción sesgada por los contextos de vida. Esto puede traer consecuencias negativas para la vida escolar ya sea por una mala convivencia con sus pares, desarrollar poca confianza para exponer ideas o sentimientos negativos hacia su propia persona, entre otros. La danza y sus efectos en la autopercepción de adolescentes será abordada en este artículo sobre la base de una investigación de revisión bibliográfica realizada en diversas bases de datos que tuvo por objetivo identificar aquellos artículos que pudiesen ayudarnos a determinar en particular el efecto de la danza en la autopercepción y la autoestima en programas de intervención, es decir, sobre la base de las experiencias, más allá de la teoría. Posterior a la búsqueda bibliográfica, sólo 5 artículos se refieren en específico al objetivo planteado, lo que refuerza la idea del rol de este tipo de prácticas en la etapa escolar y una serie de consideraciones a mencionar en este artículo. También surgen cuestionamientos acerca de las escasas investigaciones de este tipo en esta área y de la importancia de incluir multifactores de análisis en el desarrollo de la autoestima y autoconcepto. Abstract. Adolescence is a transition period, between childhood and adulthood, in which physical, emotional, and biopsychosocial changes occur that generate instability and uncertainty. Sometimes this can lead to the development of low self-esteem as a result of a self-concept or self-perception biased by life contexts. This can have negative consequences for school life, either due to poor coexistence with peers, developing little confidence to expose negative ideas or feelings towards their own person among others. Dance and its effects on the self-perception of adolescents will be addressed in this article based on a bibliographic review investigation carried out in various databases that aimed to identify those articles that could help us determine in particular the effect of dance on Self-perception and self-esteem in intervention programs, that is, on the basis of experiences beyond theory. Of the result, 5 articles refer specifically to the proposed objective, which reinforces the idea of ​​the role of this type of practice in the school stage and a series of considerations to be mentioned in this article. Questions also arise about the scarcity of research of this type in this area and the importance of including multifactor analysis in the development of self-esteem and self-concept.

The present study aims at identifying the mediator role of the self-perception and the moderator role of locus of control in the relationship between cyberbullying and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Seventy-two emerging adults between 20 to 25 years old were included in the study, filling in a series of measuring instruments for cyberbullying, self-perception, locus of control and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. The results were statistically significant in terms of the role of self-perception as mediator in the relationship between cyber-victimization and depressive symptoms. Moreover, statistical results show that the global self-worth dimension of the self-perception construct and the school competence dimension are also mediators of the relationship between cyber-victimization and depressive symptoms. An increased level of cyber-victimization causes a low level of self-perception, which will cause an increased level of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. As regards the moderator role of locus of control, the results were not statistically significant in the case of the sample included in the study, locus of control does not moderate the relationship between cyberbullying and depression, anxiety and stress symptoms.

This article develops a theoretical approach to the study of identity narratives from the concept of the bordering process. The first section describes the theoretical concepts that sustain the proposal, in particular, the concept of border as a mediating artifact, the theoretical concept of the bordering process as a social practice, and finally, identity narratives and the dialogical perspective of the self. The second section analyzes the proposals and limitations of some studies on identity narratives in international borderlands. In the same section, we develop our theoretical proposal for studying border identity narratives, which attempts to overcome some limitations of previous studies and respond to the debate on the role of others in the construction of the self. We conclude that the inclusion of the border as a semiotic artifact and the bordering process in the construction of the self provide a new perspective of identity narratives as border narratives for the study of border experiences throughout human development.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
