This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the individual's intention to do whistle blowing. This study uses a questionnaire to gather the information needed. The variables used in this study are Subjective Norms, Attitudes Towards Behavior, Perceptions About Behavioral Control, Locus of Control, and Reward as independent variables and Intentions as dependent variables. The total samples in this study were 112 samples and using random sampling techniques in data collection. Respondents in this study were the Village Consultative Body in 7 Sub-districts in South Lampung District. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique was chosen because this tool is widely used to estimate the path model with a small sample size [1] then it is used for a very complex model (consisting of many latent variables and manifests) without problems [2]. The results of this study indicate that the subjective norm, attitudes toward behavior and the reward variable does not affect the individual's intention to do whistle blowing. Then, the behavioral control and locus of control variables indicate that the two variables affect the individual's intention to do whistleblowing.

In this study the interrelation of locus of control, social support and communication skills and their relation with assertiveness were investigated by means of a path model. Nursing students (N =105) participated in the study by completing questionnaires. Path analysis showed that the interrelation of locus of control, communication skills and perceived peer support and their relation with assertiveness are explained to a certain degree by the proposed model. The only variable that directly influenced assertiveness was communication skills. Perceived family support had no direct or indirect effect on assertiveness. The findings point to several considerations for nursing curricula including that faculties should plan and provide opportunities for learning activities that increase students' assertiveness.

Bidirectional Associations

Abstract. Background: Previous studies point to a potential relationship between self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and cognitive performance. However, most of these studies are limited by their experimental design. Previous longitudinal studies looked solely at memory as an outcome variable without examining the directionality of effects. The present study examines the direction of effects between two domains of SPA (personal growth and physical losses) and processing speed (PS). Methods: The sample consists of 8,198 participants of the German Ageing Survey (DEAS), aged between 40 and 93 years. A cross-lagged path model was estimated to examine directions of relationships across 3 years via chi-squared difference tests for each domain of SPA. Results: In the unconstrained models, the effect of SPA domain personal growth in 2008 on PS in 2011 and vice versa were marginally significant. For SPA domain physical losses, the effect of SPA on PS was significant, whereas the other direction of the effect did not reach significance. However, the cross-lagged paths of both domains of SPA on PS and vice versa could be set equal without a significant loss of model fit. The resulting associations indicate a significant bidirectional relationship between both domains of SPA and PS. Discussion and conclusion: This study provides initial evidence that SPA can influence trajectories of cognitive decline and vice versa. The results emphasize the detrimental and beneficial effects that stereotypes can have on individuals and add further evidence to the theory of stereotype embodiment.

Erste Ergebnisse

Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden erste Ergebnisse eines Pilotforschungsprojektes vorgestellt, dessen empirischer Fokus auf das in der bundesrepublikanischen Drogenforschungslandschaft weitgehend ausgesparte Feld eines sozial integrierten Umgangs mit illegalen Drogen in gesellschaftlich etablierten Sozialkontexten gerichtet ist. Besonderes Interesse gilt dem Vermittlungsgeschehen zwischen formeller und informeller sozialer Kontrolle: Wie geht der Einzelne mit konfligierenden Botschaften einer auf ein generelles Drogenverbot abgestellten Rechtssphäre und dem darauf abgestellten institutionellen Kontext strafrechtlicher und sozialmedizinischer Kontrolle einerseits und etwaigen gebrauchsmotivierenden Botschaften der Peer-Group, des Freundes- und Bekanntenkreises andererseits um? </P><P> Innerhalb der Pilotphase wurden 34 sozial integrierte Konsumenten diverser illegaler Drogen interviewt. Die Stichprobenbildung folgte der Methode des Snowball Samplings. Die bisherigen Beobachtungen lassen sich zu zwei für den weiteren Forschungsverlauf relevanten Arbeitshypothesen verdichten: <UL><LI>Der Drogenkonsum untersteht offenbar in der Selbstwahrnehmung im Sinne einer Selbstattribution einem ›internal locus of control‹. <LI>Auch wenn es trotz des bestehenden Drogenverbots zum Konsum illegaler Drogen kommt, scheint mit dem Verbotsstatus bestimmter Substanzen häufig ein informeller Kontrolleinfluss assoziiert, welcher Konsum regulierend unterhalb der Schwelle des generalpräventiven Anspruchs des BtMGs wirksam wird.</UL>

Generalized Expectancies

Zusammenfassung. Generalisierten Erwartungen über die Regulation negativer Stimmungen (im englischen Original: generalized expectancies for negative mood regulation; NMR) wird in Bezug auf die Affektregulation große Bedeutung beigemessen. Catanzaro und Mearns (1990) hatten zur Messung dieser Erwartungen einen Fragebogen mit 30 Items konstruiert (NMR Scale). An mehreren Stichproben konnten sie die psychometrische Güte der NMR Scale bestätigen. Die vorliegende Studie untersuchte mit einer Stichprobe von N = 474 Personen die Reliabilität und Validität der deutschen Form der NMR Scale. Die Gesamtskala wies ein Cronbachs Alpha von .84 und eine Retest-Reliabilität von .88 über ein Zeitintervall von 4 Wochen auf. Eine explorative Faktorenanalyse legte eine eindimensionale Struktur des Itempools nahe. Bedeutsame Zusammenhänge zum Geschlecht oder Alter der Probanden ergaben sich nicht. Die NMR Skala korrelierte signifikant mit Maßen des affektiven und insbesondere depressiven Befindens (PANAS und BDI), was im Einklang mit den theoretischen Annahmen stand. Weiterhin ergaben sich bedeutsame Zusammenhänge der NMR Skala mit locus-of-control Variablen (FKK) und den “Big Five“ (NEO-FFI). Die Ergebnisse replizierten somit die Resultate, die mit der Originalversion ermittelt worden waren, so dass auch bei der deutschen Adaptation der NMR Scale von einem reliablen und validen Instrument auszugehen ist.

Abstract. In the current study we examined a psychological mechanism linking Facebook use to depression. A survey was conducted with 319 undergraduates about their passive Facebook use, their frequency of making upward social comparisons on Facebook, the emotions evoked through these comparisons, and their levels of depression. Half of the participants were given questions about the Facebook comparisons they made with their close friends, while the other half were given questions about the Facebook comparisons they made with acquaintances. Analysis of the whole sample revealed that upward Facebook comparison elicited assimilative emotions (inspiration, optimism, and admiration) more than contrastive emotions did (envy and resentment). A path model was developed in which passive use of Facebook predicted the frequency of making upward social comparisons, and, in turn, the frequency of making upward Facebook comparisons predicted depression through two routes: one through contrastive emotions and other through assimilative emotions. The results suggested that the model fits the data. As expected, the frequency of upward Facebook comparisons was associated with the increases in frequency of both contrastive and assimilative emotions, and the associations of these two types of emotions with depression were in opposite directions: Depression increased as the frequency of contrastive emotions increased, and it decreased as the frequency of assimilative emotions increased. The strength of the latter aforementioned association was stronger when the comparison targets were acquaintances rather than close friends.
