Derived and reported utility functions for members of a high school junior's family were used to predict actual college applications made the next year. The manipulations were whether or not advance deliberations were prompted before the utility measurement and whether or not subjects imagined an imminent commitment deadline. The predictions were poorer when subjects did not deliberate in advance or imagine a commitment was imminent. The reported utilities gave better predictions than the derived ones.

The Given

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused several changes in the human state of mind, in particular adapting to the culture of the new normal while lockdown measures are implemented. This study explored the effect of the lockdown measure on the level of anxiety of high school students, comparing those identified as introverts and extroverts. Participants (N = 103) filled out the given survey, which determined that they were both introverts or extroverts and the level of anxiety that they had before, during, and after the lockdown caused by the pandemic. According to statistical analysis, the result showed that the level of anxiety perceived by those feeling the sense of extroversion was statistically higher than those with introversion, at the significance level of 95%. In addition, the analysis revealed that there was no correlation between extroverts and anxiety before, during, and after the lockdown measures. On the other hand, there were statistical correlations between the level of introversion and the level of anxiety in every stage of lockdown: before, during and after, indicating that the lockdowns due to the global pandemic did not affect extroverted people anxiety as much as it affected introverts. Moreover, it also showed that the level of anxiety of the introverts has become even more intensified even after the lockdown.

Utility Estimation

Increasingly, appliers of conjoint analysis are being faced with the need to reduce data collection demands on respondents while still obtaining enough data to estimate individual utility functions. The authors propose a model that combines the ease of self-explicated utility measurement with the greater generality of decompositional models to develop estimated utility functions that maintain individual differences. The model is applied to a conjoint study involving physicians’ evaluations of a new antibiotic drug. The paper concludes with suggestions for possible extensions of the approach.

The work is devoted to the problem of the unconscious in the human psyche. The structure of the psyche, the collective unconscious and archetypes that penetrate human life in the form of symbols that carry a deep universal meaning hidden for rational understanding are considered. A practical study based on the associative test of C. Jung, which allows you to get to the unconscious sphere of a person’s life, can help to understand the patterns of mental development of adolescents in middle and high school, and can serve as a model for a comprehensive analysis of a person’s personality and state of mind. The theory of the collective unconscious and the practical test for compiling a psychological portrait of adolescents living in different countries are also reflected. The work shows the views of advanced psychologists on the structure of the psyche and the problem of the unconscious, which allows you to understand the basics of studying an individual person and a group, helps to understand your true feelings and experiences. The analysis of the results of the work of students from different countries is given, which showed that the most exciting areas of adolescent life are relationships with parents and peers, study and implementation in life.

Este artigo se propõe a analisar as identidades construídas em relatos de estudantes de ensino médio sobre o que é ser jovem e os projetos de futuro. As identidades, fenômenos construídos sócio-historicamente, são definidas como processos de identificação múltiplos e mutáveis. Foram entrevistados, através de um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada, estudantes do último ano do ensino médio das duas maiores escolas públicas da cidade de Campina Grande/Paraíba. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo de acordo com o método hermenêutico-dialético. A juventude é definida, nos relatos, como fase de preparação para o futuro, diversão e estado de espírito, mas também como uma fase de responsabilidade. O estudo, o trabalho, a estabilidade financeira e a constituição de uma família são elementos centrais nos planos desses jovens.  A determinação e a força de vontade auxiliariam para alcançar esses objetivos. O fatalismo, o individualismo, a autorresponsabilização e a exaltação da juventude, aspectos da ideologia neoliberal, sobressaem-se na construção dessas identidades.                                                    Palavras-chave: Juventude. Estudantes de ensino médio. Identidades. Projetos de futuro.Youth and plans for the future in reports of high school students of public schools AbstractThis article aims at analyzing the identities constructed in reports by high school students about what it means to be young and have plans for the future. Identities are phenomena constructed socio-historically; they are defined as multiple and changeable processes of identification. The interviews followed a semi-structured script. High-school students,in their last year, at two of the largest public schools in the city of Campina Grande/ Paraíba were the focus of the interview. Content analysis of the interviews according to the hermeneutic-dialectic method. They defined youth, in the reports as a period of preparation for the future, suitable for entertainment and as a state of mind, but it is a period of responsibility too.

Sem Study

High school cosmetology students study the methods and effects of various human hair treatments, including permanents, straightening, conditioning, coloring and cutting. Although they are provided with textbook examples of overtreatment and numerous hair disorders and diseases, a view of an individual hair at the high resolution offered by an SEM provides convincing evidence of the hair‘s altered structure. Magnifications up to 2000X provide dramatic differences in perspective. A good quality classroom optical microscope can be very informative at lower resolutions.Students in a cosmetology class are initially split into two groups. One group is taught basic controls on the SEM (focus, magnification, brightness, contrast, specimen X, Y, and Z axis movements). A healthy, untreated piece of hair is initially examined on the SEM The second group cements a piece of their own hair on a stub. The samples are dryed quickly using heat or vacuum while the groups trade places and activities.
