<span lang="EN-US">This study aims to study the mediation role of locus of control on the impact of learned helplessness on students’ academic procrastination. Studies reported that more than 70% university students procrastinate, and one of the causes is the perception that one is vulnerable or helpless in finishing the procrastinate tasks. It was hypothesized that internal locus of control iLOC can reduce the effect if the learned helplessness (LH) on academic procrastination. Data was collected from 60 university students by utilizing instruments such as Duttweiller’s Internal Control Scale, Pure Procrastination Scale (adapted for academic setting) and Learned Helplessness Scale. Multiple regression with Process add-on showed that full mediation occurred; the prediction of LH on procrastination became insignificant when iLOC is controlled. In other words, when students believe that they are in control of their events, the less likely they will procrastinate doing their tasks due to helpless feeling.</span>

The Relationship

Gardner’s (1983) Multiple Intelligences Theory (MIT) has been found to have profound implications in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in that it provides a way for teachers to recognize learners’ individual cognitive and affective differences by providing favorable motivational conditions for learning. However, little investigation has focused on the domains of cognition and affect in a single study. Therefore, this study investigates two facets: the relationship of Multiple Intelligences (MIs) with listening among Iranian TEFL university students and the possible relationship between the type of intelligence the students fall into and their attitudes toward learning English. In this study, McKenzie’s (1999) MI Inventory was used to identify 60 participants’ preferred intelligences. The participants comprised an intact group randomly assigned to the experiment. A Likert-type questionnaire was employed to elicit data about participants’ levels of personality traits that accounted for their attitudes to language-learning. Also, the participants’ listening comprehension proficiency was measured using the listening section of a retired TOEFL test. Data analysis using Pearson correlation revealed no significant relationship between the score of listening and any of the MIs. Similarly, the results indicated no significant difference between MIs and attitudes.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to ascertain which elements within the factor of Neuroticism are related to headache symptomatology. Consequently, scores on individual items of 2 Neuroticism scales were correlated with headache questions. The first was the Neuroticism scale of Eysenck's Improved Short Questionnaire which was given, along with 20 questions about headaches, to 500 university students. The second was the Neurotic Anxiety scale of the Adjective Self-description scales which was administered, along with 7 questions about headaches, to 400 university undergraduates. Both tension and migraine symptomatology were found to be related to the “tension” items of the Neuroticism scales. Migraine was found to be related to cycles of mood. Neither type of headache was found to be especially related to Depression. The relationship of headache symptomatology to Neuroticism appears to be slight but direct.

 Objetivo: describir las actitudes sexuales de los adolescentes matriculados en los programas presenciales diurnos de una universidad en Cúcuta, Colombia, durante el primer semestre de 2014. Materiales y Métodos: estudio de enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo.  La muestra estuvo constituida por 375 adolescentes estudiantes universitarios. La selección de los sujetos se realizó mediante un muestreo polietápico estratificado. La información se recolectó a través del instrumento Actitudes Sexuales. Resultados: los participantes tenían en promedio 19 años, predominio de género masculino, religión católica, procedencia de familias nucleares y orientación heterosexual. Las actitudes sexuales fueron liberales en el 68% de los encuestados. Este porcentaje aumentó respecto a la actitud hacia las relaciones sexuales donde el 75% mantuvo una postura liberal, mientras que al analizar la actitud hacia las diferentes formas de practicar el sexo se encontró un 53% con actitud conservadora y este porcentaje aumento cuando se analizó la actitud hacia la libre expresión de la sexualidad con el 60% de estudiantes con postura conservadora. Respecto a la relación de algunas variables con las posturas liberales frente a la sexualidad, se encontró relación estadísticamente significativa entre esta y el ser hombre, tener edad superior o igual a 19 años, pertenecer a semestres superiores, ser agnóstico o ateo, asistir poco o nunca al templo y ser bisexual.
