<p>ABSTRACT<br />GENTA Magazine was published by student press known as Pers Mahasiswa (PERSMA) of Petra Christian University since January 28th, 1964 and also the oldest campus magazine in Indonesia. GENTA Magazine intended for Petra Christian University community. But, because it is made by the student press, in this paper we tried to focus on the student audience. In principle, GENTA Magazine is an internal media. The study aimed to know about GENTA Magazine's reader’s gratifications, especially the students of Petra Christian University. The students were asked to rate their reason to read GENTA Magazine based on those statements that operationalized in 5-point Likert scale (5=exactly, 1=not at all). The instrument was divided into two parts: the first part, they were asked to answer basic identity (gender and major). And in the final section they were asked about motivations in reading GENTA Magazine that divided again into 3 categories based on Stafford, Stafford &amp; Schkade (2004) meta-categorization of gratification factors (Social Gratifications, Content Gratifications, and Process Gratifications). This research will be value-able to the magazines publishers to adapt with their audience motives and needs from the magazines. The student press, as the publishers might have more understanding of how to make their contents of the magazine and have better understanding how of how to get the audience attention’s. The findings revealed that Petra Christian University's students’ gratifications are fulfilled in content gratification indicator<br /><strong>Keywords; magazine, media consumptions, uses and gratifications.</strong></p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Majalah GENTA diterbitkan oleh pers mahasiswa yang dikenal sebagai Pers Mahasiswa (PERSMA) Universitas Kristen Petra sejak 28 Januari 1964 dan juga majalah kampus tertua di Indonesia. Majalah GENTA ditujukan untuk komunitas Universitas Kristen Petra. Tetapi, karena dibuat oleh pers siswa, dalam makalah ini kami mencoba untuk fokus pada audiensi siswa. Pada prinsipnya, Majalah GENTA adalah media internal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tentang kepuasan pembaca Majalah GENTA, terutama mahasiswa Universitas Kristen Petra. Para siswa diminta untuk menilai alasan mereka untuk membaca Majalah GENTA berdasarkan pernyataan-pernyataan yang dioperasionalkan dalam skala Likert 5 poin (5 = tepatnya, 1 = tidak sama sekali). Instrumen ini dibagi menjadi dua bagian: bagian pertama, mereka diminta untuk menjawab identitas dasar (gender dan utama). Dan pada bagian terakhir mereka ditanya tentang motivasi dalam membaca Majalah GENTA yang dibagi lagi menjadi 3 kategori berdasarkan meta-kategorisasi faktor-faktor kepuasan(Gratifikasi Sosial, Gratifikasi Konten, dan Gratifikasi Proses). Penelitian ini akan bermanfaat bagi penerbit majalah untuk beradaptasi dengan motif dan kebutuhan audiens mereka dari majalah tersebut. Pers mahasiswa, karena penerbit mungkin memiliki lebih banyak pemahaman tentang bagaimana membuat konten majalah mereka dan memiliki pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang bagaimana cara mendapatkan perhatian penonton. Temuan mengungkapkan bahwa gratifikasi mahasiswa Universitas Kristen Petra terpenuhi dalam indikator kepuasan konten<br /><strong>Kata kunci: majalah, konsumsi media, penggunaan dan kepuasan.</strong></p>

This article presents a thematic analysis of the process of becoming a dealer of illicit drugs in a University community during the period between the mid sixties and early seventies. After separating the themes which defined the experience—prestige, paranoia and profit—attention turns to how these themes interwove to produce the stages involved in becoming a “dealer.” In the final section interest turns to some ways this process of becoming deviant parallels other instances of within-and-between-system social mobility.

Zusammenfassung. Der Beitrag unterscheidet Ansätze der Untersuchung der Unterhaltungsrezeption in explorative und theoriegeleitete. Der “Uses and Gratifications“-Ansatz sowie der Eskapismusansatz sind dem explorativen Vorgehen zuzuordnen. Theoriegeleitete Ansätze werden in erregungspsychologische Konzepte und in identitätsorientierte Konzepte unterteilt und durch eigene Überlegungen zu emotionspsychologischen Konzepten ergänzt. Es lässt sich verdeutlichen, dass die Auseinandersetzung mit Emotionen fruchtbar im Lichte der Evolution geführt werden kann. Proximate Erklärungsansätze der Unterhaltungsrezeption lassen sich am Beispiel des “Stimulus Evaluation Check“-Modells (SEC) der Emotionsgenese erörtern, während distale/ultimate Erklärungen mit dem Konzept “Evolvierter Psychischer Mechanismen“ (EPMs) am Beispiel der Funktionsanalyse positiver Emotionalität dargestellt werden. Ergänzend zum SEC-Modell wird neben der Berücksichtigung der Realitäts-Fiktions-Unterscheidung eine Differenzierung positiver Emotionalität in Freude, Interesse und Zufriedenheit vorgeschlagen. Diese Unterscheidungen führt der Beitrag aus einer evolutionspsychologischen Perspektive heraus ein. Die adaptive Funktion positiver Emotionalität liegt dabei in einer Erweiterung des Denk- und Handlungsraumes. Dies lässt sich ohne weiteres mit dem identitätsorientierten Ansatz der Unterhaltungsrezeption in Einklang bringen.

Abstract. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of the Mindful Construal Diary (MCD) and the Mindful Raisin Exercise on the sensory tasting experience of chocolate and participants’ chocolate consumption. Participants were randomly allocated into three conditions (MCD, mindful raisin exercise, and mindless control), and engaged with either the MCD, the mindful raisin exercise, or, were asked to read a news article, respectively, while they ate a piece of chocolate. They then rated their satisfaction and desire to consume more chocolate on a 10-point Likert scale, and filled in a state mindful eating scale. Afterward, participants were informed that the study had ended and were asked to wait while the experimenter recorded some information, and any extra chocolate consumption during this time was recorded. Participants in both mindfulness conditions consumed significantly less chocolate after the exercise than participants in the control condition. No significant differences were found between the three conditions on ratings of satisfaction and desire to consume more chocolate. Both the MCD and the raisin exercise can be used to successfully moderate the intake of calorific foods, while the MCD can be utilized as an alternative practice to the typical meditation-based interventions.
