Using a middle-school age sample of 120 an investigation of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale's construct validity was undertaken. Specifically, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale total score and two factor scores were correlated with scores on Harter's (1985) multidimensional Self-perception Profile for Children. Using a series of stepwise multiple regression analyses, for both factors of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and total score, the first identified predictor variable was Global Self-worth among Harter's six subscales. Other findings were the high internal consistency (α .84) and the lack of statistically significant differences by gender or grade. Findings are supportive of the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale as a unidimensional measure of global self-esteem with middle-school age children.

Situations that parents handle affect how they parent their children and this will affect howtheir children develop later on. The aim of this research is to analyze how parenting stressaffects other factors in parent’s psychological condition, especially in their self-esteem. Thisresearch was held to parents with middle school children who live in JABODETABEK with241 participants. The scale that was used to measure parenting stress is the one that Berry andJones (1995) developed and to measure self-esteem is The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventorythat was developed by Ryden (1978). This research used a quantitative descriptive method todescribe parenting stress and self-esteem of participants and used simple regression analysisto measure how parenting stress affects self-esteem of middle school children’s parents. Fromthe statistical analysis it was found that parenting stress contributed negatively (t (241) = -7.330, p <0.005) to self-esteem of parents with middle school age children in JABODETABEK.The higher the parenting stress the lower self-esteem becomes. Parenting stress contributed 18percent to self-esteem that means the remaining 82 percent of a parent's self-esteem wasdetermined by other factors.

The article is an analysis of the mobbing problem occurrence among children adolescents, establishing the causes of a school environment the main characteristics of the concept and finding ways to prevent mobbing. The method of studying the problem of mobbing in children in the school environment explains to us the root causes of its occurrence, reveals the very essence of its appearance, as well as the manifestations of mobbing in middle school age children from their peers.In a deeper analysis of the problem of mobbing, we identified the main aspects of preventing this phenomenon, also developed a methodological plan for the prevention of mobbing in schools, and developed and described preventive measures to prevent manifestations among middle school children for teachers and parents who have and can influence students or their children in the context of this issue. The findings of this paper reflect the state of the problem of mobbing in the current educational process in Ukraine, taking into account the actualization of its manifestations due to the large number of displaced persons, including middle-aged children, from temporarily occupied territories during the Russian armed aggression against our country. The processes taking place in our extremes and in the world are inevitable for society as a whole, and so the challenge we face requires more detailed consideration of the issue of mobbing among adolescents of schools, the urgent response to its present manifestations, and addressing these issues, specifics of personal approaches to middle school children in each case. Analyzing the problem of mobbing among children in school, especially middle school children, we have come to the conclusion that the multiplicity of influence factors determines the direction of the study of the problem and gives this problem a new special approach, taking into account many points, and obliges us to solve the problem of mobbing the school, so that it does not persecute a person who is primarily a person, in adolescence and adulthood.

Mass drug administration (MDA) to the most risky population including school-age children (SAC) is the central strategy to control soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection. The present study was aimed at estimating the prevalence of STHs reinfection three months posttreatment and associated risk factors among SAC in Chencha district. A cross-sectional study design was employed from April 20 to May 5, 2015, to enroll 408 SAC. Structured questionnaire and Kato-Katz thick smear technique were used to interview parents or guardians and quantify the number of eggs per gram of stool. Pearson chi-square and logistic regression were used to assess the association between predictor variable and STH reinfection. The prevalence of STHs within three months of mass chemotherapy among SAC was 36.8% which is 93.4% of the prevalence (39.4%) before treatment. The estimated prevalence of reinfection (95%CI) forAscaris lumbricoides,Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms was 23.8% (21.1–28.2), 16.2% (12.7–20.1), and 1.0% (0.3–2.5), respectively. Children of merchant fathers were more likely to be reinfected by STHs in Chencha district. In conclusion, there is rapid reinfection after mass chemotherapy among SAC in Chencha district. Further studies should be carried out to generate cost efficient methods that can supplement mass drug administration to accelerate the control of STHs.

Multidimensional representations of gender in French language publications for children. Gender stereotypes in French language literature for children have not been extensively studied. This study analyses stories with household heroes, in French language publications aimed at pre-school age children. The aim is to evaluate multidimensional representations of gender in these publications. Results reveal major quantitative and qualitative asymmetries in the representations of the two sexes, often to the detriment of the female. Males outnumber females, who more often play secondary roles as compared to males who are more often depicted in the central role; girls are less frequently represented in the illustrations accompanying these stories than boys. Females are depicted in a more stereotyped manner, and are more confined to domestic and in private locations. Additionally, women play a smaller variety of professional roles than men. The asymmetries highlighted in this study are discussed in terms of the influence that may be exercised over children’s construction of their gender identity, and influence particularly on the self-esteem and future aspirations of girls.
