The Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation (SCBE), originally developed for assessing preschoolers, was adapted for the adolescents. The instrument taps social competence, externalizing and internalizing problems. In the adolescent SCBE, more than 65% of the items (54 items) remained practically the same as in the preschool version, 24 items were modified slightly, and two items were rewritten completely. The instrument was tested on 342 adolescents ( M = 14.4 years, SD = .6). The summary scales showed high reliability. Using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), acceptable support for the three-factor model based on 16-item clusters was found, indicating that minimal adjustments to the items of the preschool version allows for the assessment of the same constructs in adolescence. The adolescent version of the SCBE can be valid and reliable instrument for describing social adjustment in adolescents making the SCBE interesting from an international perspective.

The social competence and behavioral profiles of 38 encopretic children were evaluated, and the social competence and behavioral ratings were correlated with physiologic abnormalities found during anorectal manometric and EMG evaluation and with treatment outcome. When defecation was studied, 66% of encopretic children were not able to defecate rectal balloons and 63% were not able to relax the external anal sphincter during defecation attempts. Total social competence and behavior problem scores were not different for boys able and unable to defecate balloons. Total social competence scores were significantly lower in girls unable to defecate balloons than in those able to (P < .006), whereas behavior problem scores were similar in girls able to and unable to defecate. We found that persistence of encopresis at 6-month and 12-month follow-up was not related to the social competence (P > .2) or behavioral scores (P > .2) but was significantly related to the inability to defecate (P < .01) and to the inability to relax the external sphincter during defecation attempts (P < .03).

<p>The purpose of this research is to explore the social competence and temperament of 4-6 age group children attending pre-school education institutions, to identify whether their social competence levels vary by gender, and to show the relationship between the sub-dimensions of social competence and those of temperament. The study group consists of n=148 female children and n=180 male children in 4-6 age group receiving pre-school education. The data were collected via the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale-SCBE 30 and the Short Temperament Scale for Children. The data were analyzed via independent-samples t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The findings were evaluated at .05-.001 significance level. The research findings indicated that children’s social competence levels significantly vary by gender (p&lt;05), and there are positive and negative significant relationships between the sub-dimensions of social competence and those of temperament (p&lt;.05, p&lt;.001). The findings of the research were discussed in the light of some research and literature, some suggestions have been made.</p>

Social competence of senior school students serves as their integrative characteristic and acts as the result of education. The formation of social competence in senior students is realized in the school educational environment by means of solving social problems of personal, public and life-futurological content. School educational environment incorporates definite zones which act as incentives to motivate and involve students into the activity of formulating and solving social problems.

Chapter 10 is devoted to the role of emotions or pathos. Pathos was the term ordinarily used to denote the notion of audience. For the first time since Aristotle, emotions receive a full role in a treatise on rhetoric. The responses of the audience are modulated by its emotions. What is their nature and how precisely do they operate? The areas of political and legal rhetoric are examined here in the light of an original view of the theory of distance: values at greater distance become passions at short distance, and this is one of the features which demarcates politics from law. Law and politics are not merely argumentative, nor are they entirely emotional. The norms they codify are often implicit in their shaping of our mutual expectations and behavior in the social world.
