Communicative Activity

The article presents the results of an empirical study of relation between the communicative activity and self-evaluation of teenagers (n = 85), whose personality development takes place in the information society and allows us to characterize modern adolescents as generation Z («digital» generation). Communicative activity is considered as the willingness and ability of a person to interpersonal interaction, the outgoing desire to implement the functions of the subject of communication. The authors have analyzed theoretical information about the self-evaluation and communicative activity of adolescents. The communicative activity of adolescents of generation Z is characterized by a wide range: from self-centeredness and minimal involvement in communication, to the desire to maximize the range of social contacts as in real communication, so in communication mediated by technical means. The identified gaps in the scientific knowledge about communicative activity, in terms of its connection with the self-esteem of modern teeagers, became the prerequisite for this study. The principle of consistency and theoretical provisions on self-esteem by L. V. Borozdina, ideas about the activity of personality by A. I. Krupnov, A. A. Volochkov and S. A. Vasyura formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the work. The relations of communicative activity and self-evaluation of adolescents are established. The basic components of the system of these relations are ease of contact and self-evaluation of appearance. The ease of coming into contact is associated with self-evaluation on the scales of “authority among peers”, “appearance (beauty)”, “self-confidence”, as well as the level of claims on the scales “mind” and “self-confidence”. The self-evaluation of appearance (beauty) is associated with the need for communication, initiative in communication, ease of contact, expressiveness in communication. The obtained results contribute to the development of scientific ideas about communicative activity, its potential for the development of the personality of adolescents of generation Z.

The Relationship

Background. It is stated that the anxiety issue of adolescent pupils has been increasing a concern in teachers and society (Lee & Hankin, 2009; Mocus, Schoot, Klimstra, & Branje, 2011). The analysis of the reasons affecting a poor emotional state, anxiety processes and low self- esteem of adolescents leads to the following factors: socio-economic status, parenting styles (Cohen, Mansoor, Gagin, & Lorber, 2008), insecure attachment and non-functional beliefs (Lee & Hankin, 2009), adaptation difficulties, relationship with peers (Mocus et al., 2011), emotional pressures at  school  (Klizas,  Ramanauskienė,  Dumčienė,  &  Linonis,  2010).  Meanwhile,  it  was  found  that  involvement  in sports activities positively affects adolescents’ self-esteem, contributes to adolescents’ identity and positive self-evaluation  development,  encourages  cooperation  with  peers,  develops  physical  skills,  character,  creativity,  and value system, distracts from harmful habits, and helps to integrate into society (Dunn, Dunn, & Bayduza, 2008; Šniras & Malinauskas, 2006). Thus, it is evident that today’s adolescents, facing growing demands in environment, society, experience more anxiety, which may affect their self-evaluation, self-confidence, self-esteem and vice versa, deteriorate their quality of life and mental health. So, it is highly important for educators (school teachers, coaches, etc.) to understand what causes anxiety in adolescents and how such factors as sport may have an influence on it. Research aim was to determine the relationship between the self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety for adolescent athletes  and  non-athletes.  Research  object  was  the  relationship  of  adolescents’  self-esteem,  self-confidence  and anxiety.Methods. The pilot survey was carried out in Kaunas, in 2013. Adolescent athletes and non-athletes aged 16 were selected for the research. The study employed questionnaires survey method. Results and conclusions. It was discovered that the self-esteem and self-confidence of athlete adolescents was higher compared with non-athlete adolescents. The results showed that comparing the different anxiety factors of athlete and non-athlete adolescents no significant differences were found with the exception of anxiety related to social stress experience, and it is lower for athlete respondents. The analysis of self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety relationship, depending on the sport activity, determined that the sport element had little relevance to these factors.Keywords: students, self-determination, anxiety, sport.

Organizational values determine the behaviour and norms expected in the organization. The more similar the attitude, the way of thinking and the value system among organizational members the stronger the culture is. The characteristics of personality can be well modelled with the concept of self-evaluation. The purpose of this article is to create a theoretical framework that reveals the relationships between self-evaluation dimensions, organizational values and employees’ commitment dimensions. Based on the results, affective commitment is supported by a high level of self-esteem and self-efficacy through the organizational values such as collaboration, trust, affiliation, achievement, autonomy, competition and growth. In contrast, professional commitment is supported by a high level of locus of control and emotional stability, through the organizational values such as routinization, attention to details, formalization, support, communication and consistency. The conclusions of the theoretical model can be used to determine effective motivational strategies for groups and organizations with strong cultures, as the results show that motivational tools used at group level can be successful as well, depending on the self-evaluation profiles.

The teacher-learner interaction, which is of relevance to the contemporary learning paradigm, is grounded on goodwill, mutual respect as well as trust and enables a learner to become autonomous, proactive and responsible. The essence of the teacher’s activity can be determined in the following way: it is most important to focus on maturity of learners’ personality, development of their intellectual powers, their own active and conscious learning providing all the support necessary for learners to enable them to develop competences that are relevant in life. Next to such competences to be developed as learning to learn, communication and creativity, a particular role is played by personal competence, which targets at education and development of an individual, who is dignified, self-respected and able to adequately self-evaluate. There is a transition from the teacher’s role as the head of the process of education to those as a learning organiser, opportunity creator and advisor, when the development of learner’s autonomy, independence and responsibility become underlying values of education. Following educational researchers, there exists a close link between the learner’s self-esteem and autonomy and the freedom of choice provided by teachers. The teacher’s respect for learners, his/her attention, encouragement and positive expectations contribute to the strengthening of learner’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

The advanced growth especially on economic sector is an important matter in Indonesia nowadays. The effective booster to develop the nation’s economic is to expand the job emplyment that the societies have a powerful purchasing. Furthermore, the potential matter to create more chances for people to work is to duplicate more entrepreneurs in this country. Besides, it should start from an early age by building entrepreneurial character in children. To develop the entrepreneurial character there are several ways could be taken: First, build the self-confidence of children. Second, emphasize the hard-work desire or the willingness to be more active. Third, evolve their self-esteem that they are able to take a control of their own life. Forth, develop the conviction behavior or Istiqomah. Fifth, keep the precision or accuracy. Sixth, build the creative mindset. Seventh, help the children to solve their problems. And the last but not least, acquire the objective attitude of seeing or judging anything. Moreover, building the entrepreneurial character in children by giving them a good education, whether at home or family environment, social environment or community and school, should firstly promote the process of developing the entrepreneurial character itself. Likewise, to develop the entrepreneurial character should be done in precise and accurate ways so that the efforts to build the entrepreneurial character in children are not futile. Meanwhile, an attempt is made by describing it repeatedly and continuously, but it also needs the participation of parents at home, community leaders in the society, and also a teacher at school, in order to position themselves as educators who tend to give guidance and direction positively, rather than coercing the will of the children, especially in entrepreneurial character pinned on them. To conclude, by prioritizing the sincerity and gentleness learning ways, will certainly affect the children strongly.

In the context of examining a wide range of correlates of sexual experience—defined as the lifetime number of sexual partners—an hypothesis is tested that sexual experience enhances personality by bolstering self-esteem and self-confidence. Three independent samples are examined separately and then compared ( ns = 173, 136, and 148). These groups vary by sex and amount of sexual experience. Within each of these samples, correlates of sexual experience are examined in regard to background variables, parental sexual attitudes, various sexual behaviors, history, satisfaction, and responsiveness measures, social competence, relationship attachment, and personality. Clear support for the hypothesis of enhancement of personality by sexual experience appeared for men, but little support among the women. Correlates of sexual experience among the female samples appear to reflect sexual facilitation (general involvement) or biological preparedness theory.

On the basis of the integrative concept of self-esteem discussed in sport-related literature, various studies refer to its importance in the context of sports activities. Self-esteem is often understood as a personality trait because it tends to be durable and stable. No accurate description is available regarding the types of sports in which subjects participated. The main purpose of the research was to identify and compare the levels of self-esteem and self-confidence of athletes practicing individual and team sports. The self-esteem and self-confidence levels were measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg 1979) and the Self-Confidence Test (Romek, 2000). All participants were males. Subjects were divided into two categories: 40 for individual sports and 40 for team sports. There were two evaluation periods: P1, the beginning of the preparation period, and P2, the beginning of the competition period. There were statistically significant differences for P1 (p < 0.002) and P2 (p < 0.003). The differences between the average values of the two periods were 5.8 points and 3.8 points, both favorable to the group of athletes who practiced individual sports. There were significant differences between the individual and team athletes in self-esteem level. Individual athletes presented a higher level of self-esteem.
