The Relationship

The relationship of group size, leader consideration behavior, and leader initiating structure behavior with member satisfaction was assessed. Respondents included 57 members of 14 small Christian growth groups made up primarily of evangelical undergraduate university students. Members' responses indicated that leader consideration and initiating structure were independent dimensions rather than two extremes of one dimension. Leaders were reported to exhibit somewhat less initiating structure behavior than members thought was desirable. Correlations and regression analyses showed that the absolute value of the discrepancy between actual and ideal leader initiating structure was more highly related to satisfaction than was actual initiating structure alone. Leader consideration was proportionately related to member satisfaction while group size was inversely related to satisfaction. When leading groups or training leaders of groups similar to those studied, the best amount of leader initiating structure should be determined partly on the basis of member expectations, expectations which may change during the life of a group.

Introduction: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. They both have two-way communication with one's emotional stresses and psychological distresses. Methods: This research is a descriptive-correlation study. The sample size included 370 female high school students in Gonbad, Galikesh, Azadshahr, and Kalaleh, in the east of Golestan province (Iran) in 2018. To select the participants, 370 students with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9 kg/m² were selected as samples, and the EQ questionnaire was handed out.. Pearson's correlation coefficient and  linear regression analyses were also employed in this study. The collected data were analyzed by    SPSS 22. Results: The results demonstrated that there is a direct, yet inverse relationship between students’ total EQ (-.465, p< 0.01), intrapersonal (-.421, p< 0.01), interpersonal (-.325, p< 0.01), adaptability (-.391, p< 0.01), stress management (-.401, p< 0.01), general mood (-.383, p< 0.01), and their overweight. however, it suggests that the higher the EQ and its subscales scores among the students increase, the less weight they own, and vice versa. Conclusion: The results of this research may not only open a new window to assist in achieving successful nutritional diet programs, providing people, but it also can pave the way for further research conducted by experts in nutrition, medicine, and psychology. The findings of this study will enhance social public awareness of the side- effects of overweight, equipping the public with some counseling to lose weight through using EQ for students suffering overweight.

The Relationship

This chapter considers the complex relationship between secularization and the emergence of new religious movements. Drawing from countervailing research, some of which insists that new religious movements abet secularizing processes and some of which sees these movements as disproving the secularization thesis, the chapter presents the relationship as inherently unstable. To the extent that new religious movements maintain a precarious balance of familiarity and foreignness—remaining familiar enough to stretch the definitional boundaries of religion—they contribute to secularization. However, new religious movements frequently lean to one side or other of that median, either promoting religious power in the public square by identifying with the interests of existing religious groups, or emphasizing their distinctiveness from these groups and thus provoking aggressive public action by the antagonized religious mainstream. This chapter centres on an illustrative case from Christian Science history.

The Relationship

(1) Background: Academic engagement has been reported in the literature as an important factor in the academic achievement of university students. Other factors such as emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience have also been related to students’ performance and quality of life. The present study has two clearly delimited and interrelated objectives. First, to study the mediational role that engagement plays in the relationship between EI and resilience on quality of life. Secondly, and similarly, to study the mediational role of engagement in the relationship between EI and resilience, but in this case on academic achievement. (2) Methods: For this purpose, four scales frequently used in the literature to measure emotional intelligence, resilience, academic engagement and quality of life were administered to 427 students of the University of Jaén undertaking education degrees. In addition, students were asked to indicate their current average mark as a measure of academic performance. Two mediational models based on structural equations were proposed to analyse the relationships between the proposed variables. (3) Results: The results obtained showed that emotional intelligence and resilience directly predicted students’ life satisfaction, but this direct relationship did not result in academic performance. In addition, and assuming a finding not found so far, engagement was shown to exert an indirect mediational role for both life satisfaction and academic performance of students. (4) Conclusions: The findings of the study support the importance of engagement in the design and development of instructional processes, as well as in the implementation of any initiative.
