While disability is treated socially equal in most western countries, the prejudice that Asians adhere to traditional cultural view related to curse, bad luck, and humiliation is really strong. In fact, attitudes toward the handicapped strongly refer to social as well as cultural construction built in society. Hence, this research was conducted to discover how Mataram natives truly treat child with special education needs in the social interactions within school setting using qualitative approach and engaging observation as well as video recordings as data collection methods. The findings confirm that destructive treatment does not occur among Mataram disabled and non-disabled peers despite the existing prejudice. Moreover, constructive treatment from the community builds the child’s self-esteem in public setting stronger.

The Social

Metaperception involves making judgments regarding what others think of us and is important in navigating the social world. We measured the degree of accuracy and bias in metaperceptions of liking and desire for future contact following unstructured social interactions with new acquaintances and tested how depression and self-esteem influence bias and accuracy in these judgments. Results indicated that depression and lower self-esteem are associated with negative directional biases but are also associated with lower reciprocity bias (the tendency to assume that partners return one’s feelings of liking and acceptance). In addition, individuals with lower self-esteem displayed greater meta-insight (accuracy when controlling for bias) compared with those with higher self-esteem. Implications for cognitive and depressive realism theories of depression are discussed.

The Social

Understanding social interactions in livestock groups could improve management practices, but this can be difficult and time-consuming using traditional methods of live observations and video recordings. Sensor technologies and machine learning techniques could provide insight not previously possible. In this study, based on the animals’ location information acquired by a new cooperative wireless localisation system, unsupervised machine learning approaches were performed to identify the social structure of a small group of cattle yearlings (n=10) and the social behaviour of an individual. The paper first defined the affinity between an animal pair based on the ranks of their distance. Unsupervised clustering algorithms were then performed, including K-means clustering and agglomerative hierarchical clustering. In particular, K-means clustering was applied based on logical and physical distance. By comparing the clustering result based on logical distance and physical distance, the leader animals and the influence of an individual in a herd of cattle were identified, which provides valuable information for studying the behaviour of animal herds. Improvements in device robustness and replication of this work would confirm the practical application of this technology and analysis methodologies.

Social interaction is a dynamic social relationship that involves relationships between individuals, between groups, and between individuals and groups. The purpose of this research is to analyse an animated film "Si Nopal" in supporting social interaction of the elementary students. The type and design of the study used in this study is descriptive research. The data collection methods are documentation and interviews. Qualitative data analysis used in this study consisted of three activity processes, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results and discussion it can be seen that the Nopal's animated video can support students' social interactions. The social interactions in the Nopal animated video include the communication process, social contact, and associative processes. Students who are given the animated video show "Si Nopal" have the motivation to imitate the aspects of social interaction in the video shown.

Social interactions represent one of the most important routes of transmission of COVID-19 as they influence the potential patterns of diffusion of infection throughout different segments of the population. Despite their utmost importance, the scientific community is currently lacking data collection methods that record social interactions dynamically and in detail, and in a privacy-respecting, representative way, even on an aggregated level. Here we summarize the motivation, methodology, and some early results of a coordinated process of data collection in Hungary designed to track the social mixing patterns of people in different age groups in real time during the pandemic. The Hungarian Data Provider Questionnaire (MASZK7) was released in late March 2020 during the initial phase of the COVID-19 outbreak in Hungary. This is an ongoing effort to anonymously collect age contact matrices of a voluntary population online. Moreover, it is accompanied with a nationally representative data collection campaign via telephone survey to ensure data quality. This unique process of combined data collection is an important step towards developing more precise modelling of the spread of the epidemic, and could thus contribute to the reduction of the medical and economic burden of the pandemic in Hungary.

The question of project manager competencies and especially in social projects is a key issue for social organizations seeking to progress and achieve success. If the manager has an important role to play with regard to the social organization, he’s however dependent on his behavioral, professional and personal capacities. The purpose of this paper is to show, on the basis of a quantitative study carried out among 120 managers of social projects in cooperatives located in the city of Agadir (Morocco), that the success of projects is conditioned by the leadership skills. Consequently, factors related to behavioral skills such as Solidarity; Involvement; Patience; Creativity; Empathy; Motivation; Trust; Commitment; Self-esteem; Transparency; Self-control; Discipline and other factors related to professional characteristics and personal characteristics of project managers prove a positive and significant relationship with the criterion of success studied.

The paper examines and compares how the major sociological theories treat axiological issues. Value-driven topics are analysed in view of their relevance to society in times of crisis, when both societal life and the very structure of society undergo dramatic change. Nowadays, social scientists around the world are also witnessing such a change due to the emergence of alternative schools of sociological thought (non-classical, interpretive, postmodern, etc.) and, subsequently, the necessity to revise the paradigms that have been existed in sociology so far. Since the above-mentioned approaches are often used to address value-related issues, building a solid theoretical framework for these studies takes on considerable significance. Furthermore, the paradigm revision has been prompted by technological advances changing all areas of people’s lives, especially social interactions. The global human community, integral in nature, is being formed, and production of human values now matters more than production of things; hence the “expansion” of value-focused perspectives in contemporary sociology. The authors give special attention to collectivities which are higher-order units of the social system. These units are described as well-organised action systems where each individual performs his/her specific role. Just as the role of an individual is distinct from that of the collectivity (because the individual and the collectivity are different as units), so too a distinction is drawn between the value and the norm — because they represent different levels of social relationships. Values are the main connecting element between the society’s cultural system and the social sphere while norms, for the most part, belong to the social system. Values serve primarily to maintain the pattern according to which the society is functioning at a given time; norms are essential to social integration. Apart from being the means of regulating social processes and relationships, norms embody the “principles” that can be applied beyond a particular social system. The authors underline that it is important for Ukrainian sociology to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of axiology and make good use of those ideas because this is a prerequisite for its successful integration into the global sociological community.
