The article focuses on parental tolerance, an issue still unexplored in psychological science and yet significant as it shapes the rearing potential of a family. Basing on my own concept of conscious parenthood, I developed a model of parental tolerance and tested a number of techniques for studying its structure. The model represents parental tolerance as an integral unity of three components (cognitive, emotional and behavioural) and was tested empirically. The analysis of the structure and content of parental tolerance was carried out using the correlation study. As it was revealed, the key component in the structure of parental tolerance is the emotional one and its elements, such as positive feelings towards the child based on his/her unconditional acceptance, and parental love. The core of the cognitive component is the parent’s mindful attitude towards the child and parental responsibilities. The most essential elements in the behavioural component are communicative tolerance and democratic style of parenting.

The Individual

The Bias of Crowds model (Payne, Vuletich, & Lundberg, 2017) argues that implicit bias varies across individuals and across contexts. It is unreliable and weakly associated with behavior at the individual level. But when aggregated to measure context-level effects, the scores become stable and predictive of group-level outcomes. We concluded that the statistical benefits of aggregation are so powerful that researchers should reconceptualize implicit bias as a feature of contexts, and ask new questions about how implicit biases relate to systemic racism. Connor and Evers (2020) critiqued the model, but their critique simply restates the core claims of the model. They agreed that implicit bias varies across individuals and across contexts; that it is unreliable and weakly associated with behavior at the individual level; and that aggregating scores to measure context-level effects makes them more stable and predictive of group-level outcomes. Connor and Evers concluded that implicit bias should be considered to really be noisily measured individual construct because the effects of aggregation are merely statistical. We respond to their specific arguments and then discuss what it means to really be a feature of persons versus situations, and multilevel measurement and theory in psychological science more broadly.

Security and justice are both essential elements in humanity’s quest not only to survive but to thrive with dignity; neither is sustainable alone. Security is merely the appearance of order in a framework of structural violence unless tempered or leavened by concepts of justice that include human rights, human dignity, and other normative limits on the use of power. The pursuit of justice, whether at the personal, community, national, or international level can be crippled if not matched, in turn, by means to sustain security at each level. This complementarity of security and justice—despite their inherent tensions—is the core conceptual framework of the book. Achieving “just security,” we argue, is essential to the success of any global governance enterprise or architecture.

The Right

The paper has been written from a philosophical perspective and triggered by the recurrent discussions in psychology about the most suitable methods to study our multifaceted subjectivity. Its main point is that a phenomenological understanding of the human person provides a robust and also flexible philosophical framework for psychology. The first part discusses three classical distinctions –individual/general; explaining/understanding; induction/interpretation– which, in spite of possible deficiencies, are useful to illustrate the specificity of the human sciences relative to the natural sciences. If not understood as an either-or dichotomy these distinctions represent the search of the right balance to reflect the complexity and richness of psychological science. The second part presents the phenomenological notions of ‘vital reduction’ and ‘personalist reduction’, where reductions does not take on an eliminativistic meaning, but of directing the mind’s gaze to attend to what is originally the case. The ‘vital reduction’ reveals a subject of experience at the center of the lifeworld, and the ‘personalist reduction’ sees in rationality –i.e., the power to grasp the meaning of things and to recognize other subjects of experience­– a deeper dimension of the subject, who we can thus call a person. Psychology and phenomenology converge in disclosing the person-centeredness of our lifeworld.

Do So

The essential elements of modern bureaucracy were identified by the German social scientist Max Weber (1864–1920) and remain central today to any understanding of how modern governmental systems work. At the core of Weber’s understanding was the insight that bureaucracies are profoundly impersonal, even dehumanised, organisations, which is a key element in their ability to carry out complex, large-scale tasks. However, this dehumanised character is also one of bureaucracy’s biggest weaknesses, since it inhibits the organisation’s ability to relate to people in ways that are in tune with lived social experiences. This article argues that in Aotearoa New Zealand it should be possible to draw upon knowledge from te ao Mäori, and especially the idea of wairua, to help fulfil aspirations for an improved public service, one that is more effective and humane for all New Zealanders. However, to do so will require a much greater appreciation of such knowledge than has so far been the case.

The Relationship

The article is devoted to the study of the structural features of the cognitive component of the "I-concept" in middle-aged women. They are at different stages of development of varicose veins. The cognitive component of the “I-concept” is a significant prerequisite for the manifestation of potential behavioral reactions. In modern psychological science, the most studied are aspects related to the psychosomatic manifestation of varicose veins, issues related to the psychological causes of varicose veins and the effect of the disease on the human psyche. At the same time, the question of how the level of development of varicose veins manifests itself in the features of the "I-concept" (in particular, its cognitive component) remains insufficiently studied. The study involved 50 women (35-40 years old) with varying degrees of development of varicose veins. The first group included 25 women with varicose veins of the first stage (no surgical intervention is required). The second group consisted of 25 women with the second stage of the disease (with surgery). According to the survey, the main causes of the disease were quite different. This is a sports load, a criterion for heredity, diseases during pregnancy, etc. There were revealed certain similarities and differences in the manifestations of the cognitive component of the "I-concept" of the personality of these women, depending on the stage of development of varicose veins. General factors were determined that describe the nature of the relationship between the elements of the cognitive component "I-concept" and a certain stage of varicose veins in middle-aged women. Individual psychological characteristics of the personality play a major role in the manifestation of types of self-attitude in middle-aged women with different stages of development of varicose veins. The nature of the relationship between the types of attitudes, self-attitudes towards the disease, the degrees of clarity of the "I‑concept" is different. A more complex and diverse nature of the relationship is inherent in a group of women with a medication type of treatment.

Abstract Background To this day, the professional training for Specialist Nurse have covered 9 directions in Anhui, China. This paper aims to determine the association of socio-demographic variables, core competence,job stressor and depression in Chinese specialist nurses. Methods 302 specialist nurses in Anhui province participated in this descriptive correlation study, all data were collected through questionnaire survey including Socio-demographic and Professional Information surveys, Competency Inventory for Registered Nurse, Chinese Nursing Stressor Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale. Results The total score range of core competence was 57–210(2.53 ± 0.50).The total score of job stressors was 43–123(88.05 ± 12.69). Specialist nurses had more job stressors than general clinical nurses in dimensions of professional and career issues, workload and time pressure, interpersonal relationships and management issues (P < 0.05), but they had less job stressors than norm in dimension of resource and environmental problems(P < 0.05). The range of total scores in SDS for specialist nurses was 26–95 (47.80 ± 10.59). Conclusion There were significant relationships between core competence, job stressor and depression. This finding highlights potential foci in their joint consideration to improve competitiveness of specialist nurses. Implications for Practice: The status of the core competence, job stressors and depression of Chinese specialist nurses is presented to the global clinical community. This paper provides intervention direction to increase the core competence of specialist.

Abstract Chloroplast biogenesis often requires a tight orchestration between gene expression (both plastidial and nuclear) and translocation of ∼3000 nuclear-encoded proteins into the organelle. Protein translocation is achieved via two multimeric import machineries at the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) envelope of chloroplast, respectively. Three components constitute the core element of the TOC complex: a β-barrel protein translocation channel Toc75 and two receptor constituents, Toc159 and Toc34. A diverse set of distinct TOC complexes have recently been characterized and these diversified TOC complexes have evolved to coordinate the translocation of differentially expressed proteins. This review aims to describe the recent discoveries relating to the typical characteristics of these distinct TOC complexes, particularly the receptor constituents, which are the main contributors for TOC complex diversification.

One of the important components in the creation of contract in Islamic law, apart from the contracting parties (ʿūqidūn) and subject matter of contract (maḥal al-ʿaqd), is formation (ṣîghah). It consists of two essential elements i.e. offer (îjūb) and acceptance (qabûl). The absence of formation will render the contract invalid and imperfect. Nevertheless, in the case of hibah as it is a kind of contract of charity (tabarruʿ), the issue arises as to whether the element of acceptance is required in order to constitute a valid hibah. Added to this is the issue of whether hibah is completed and ownership of property transferred to the recipient as is the case with other types of contract when all of the above three components of contract and their requirements are fulfilled. This study examines issues relating to these two important matters of hibah, since disputes among parties in the Syariah Courts of Malaysia mostly involve these. The examination focuses on the positions of Muslim jurists of the four well-known schools of law, i.e. Shūfiʿî, Ḥanafî, Mūlikî and Ḥanbalî, on the issues. In addition, as the law of hibah for Muslims in Malaysia is mostly uncodified, the study also examines the law that has been applied by various Syariah Courts in Malaysia regarding these issues, especially whether their decisions are solely based on the law according to the school of Shūfiʿî. This is in order to find out an acceptable set of rules that could govern the creation of a valid and perfect hibah.
