To date, the studies on disagreement strategies in Chinese mainly focus on adults, and relevant research on senior high school students is rare. This study intends to explore gender differences in Chinese senior high school students’ use of disagreement strategies. By adopting a discourse completion task (DCT) and modified Yang’s classification of disagreement strategies (2015), we designed an open-ended questionnaire survey of 12 situations with three social factors (social distance, social status, and sex of hearer) which was distributed among 100 Chinese senior high school students. Then we analyzed all the 96 valid survey responses and did a T-test. The results show that the distribution of disagreement strategies is uneven, with Softened Disagreement Strategy (SDS, 96.96%) dominating, and that there exist significant gender differences in Chinese senior high school students’ use of Neither Softened Nor Strengthened Disagreement Strategy (NSNSDS) (p=0.0330.05). The present study contributes to the understanding of disagreement and gender differences in disagreement strategies and offers implications to communication and EFL teaching for Chinese teenagers.

Starting from the fact that man is a social being, social environment has a big importance in the whole personality formation and development. Even though there are views according to which geographical and climate factors can also influence a person’s character, yet they are not the crucial ones. A social environment where the influence of: family, school, peers, mass media, different organizations and those alike is strongly expressed, enables the child as a biological being to gradually grow into a social being through gaining knowledge, habits, abilities etc. The pedagogical meaning of free time is not seen in the organisation of the free activities but in the different factors of institutional character, which more or less can help the shaping of free time with the creation of practical opportunities for its implementation. In this paper, the factors and their influence on the selection of the content of free time at high school respondents will be analysed. More precisely, we will analyse the respondents’ views and opinions about the factors which will determine the selection of free time content, if there are differences compared according to the influence, which of them appear as decisive factors and if there are gender differences from the aspect of the factors influence in the selection of free time activities and contents. In the problem researching process we decided to apply: inductive method, deductive method and comparison method.Keywords: free time, factors, school as a factor, family as a factor, social environment as a factor, student, free activities, culture and gender differences

This study investigated race and gender differences of body physique and self-esteem in high school students (N = 754, mean age = 16.5 + 1.2 yr) attending public schools. Participants completed a five part body physique questionnaire where responses were based on a set of nine figure silhouette drawings and a five part self esteem questionniare. African American females reported significantly larger body physique preferences when compared to their Caucasian counterparts (p0.05). African American’s (males and females) scored significantly higher on the self-esteem assessment than their Caucasian counterparts. These findings suggest that there might be important race and gender differences on various aspects of body physique and self-esteem in high school students.
