Die vorliegende Studie stellt die erste umfassende und systematische Analyse der Medienberichterstattung zum deutschen Föderalismus dar. Ausgewertet wurden Positionen, Konnotationen und Bewertungen in 449 Statements aus 14 Tageszeitungen im Zusammenhang mit der Corona-Pandemie für den Zeitraum März bis September 2020. Methodisch werden quantitative und qualitative Ansätze kombiniert, um sowohl Verteilungsmuster als auch Themen und Motive zu erfassen. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen für die Krise, was die Literatur für ‚normale Zeiten‘ annimmt: Eine deutliche Mehrheit aller veröffentlichten Statements zum Föderalismus fällt negativ aus. Dies änderte auch die Phase der Einheitlichkeit der Landesregelungen infolge der Einigung auf einen umfassenden bundesweiten Lockdown nicht. Die erfolgreiche Stabilisierung des Infektionsgeschehens ‚trotz‘ unterschiedlicher Lockerungen in den Ländern führte (absolut) zu weniger negativen Statements, aber nicht zu substantiell positiven. Mehrheitlich negative Statements finden sich in der Gruppe der Bevölkerung, der JournalistInnen und auch der PolitikerInnen insgesamt; mehrheitlich positive Statements finden sich lediglich bei LandespolitikerInnen der CDU/CSU.

Eighty percent of students entering school feel good about themselves and who they are. By the fifth grade only 20 percent have high self-esteem. By the time students become seniors in high school, the percentage who have managed to keep a positive level of self-esteem has dropped to 5 percent. Students encounter the equivalent of 60 days each year reprimanding, nagging and punishment. During 12 years of schooling a student is subject to 15,000 negative statements. That's three times the amount of positive statements received.

AbstractObjective:Despite the increasing prominence of residential hospices as a place of death and that, in many regards, this specialized care represents a gold standard, little is known about the care experience in this setting. Using qualitative survey data, we examined the positive and negative perceptions of care in hospices and in other prior settings.Method:Qualitative comments were extracted from the CaregiverVoice survey completed by bereaved caregivers of decedents who had died in 16 residential hospices in Ontario, Canada. On this survey, caregivers reported what was good and bad about the services provided during the last three months of life as separate open-text questions. A constant-comparison method was employed to derive themes from the responses.Results:A total of 550 caregivers completed the survey, 94% (517) of whom commented on either something good (84%) and/or bad (49%) about the care experience. In addition to residential hospice, the majority of patients represented also received palliative care in the home (69%) or hospital (59%). Overall, most positive statements were about care in hospice (71%), whereas the negative statements tended to refer to other settings (81%). The hospice experience was found to exemplify care that was compassionate and holistic, in a comforting environment, offered by providers who were personable, dedicated, and informative. These humanistic qualities of care and the extent of support were generally seen to be lacking from the other settings.Significance of results:Our examination of the good and bad aspects of palliative care received is unique in qualitatively exploring palliative care experiences across multiple settings, and specifically that in hospices. Investigation of these perspectives affirmed the elements of care that dying patients and their family caregivers most value and that the hospices were largely effective at addressing. These findings highlight the need for reinforcing these qualities in other end-of-life settings to create comforting and supportive environments.

The Situational Communication Apprehension Measure (SCAM) was developed by McCroskey and Richmond (1982, 1985) to measure state communication apprehension in any context. This self-report instrument utilizes a 20-item questionnaire to assess how one person felt during a recent interaction with another. Richmond (1978) has also investigated a person’s dispositional (trait) anxieties and fears associated with specific situations (state). The SCAM, a Likert-type measure of state anxiety, asks survey takers to think about the last time they interacted with someone who held a supervisory role over them. Based on that interaction, respondents rate 20 statements—10 describing positive and 10 expressing negative feelings—on an accuracy scale of 1–7. A mark of “7” indicates the statement describing the situation is extremely accurate; a “1” notes the most inaccurate assessment of the interaction. An individual’s score on the SCAM is determined by summing all the positive statements and then summing all the negative statements. The two sums are then added and subtracted from 80. The score should range between 20 and 140. A score below the lower limit or above the upper limit indicates the respondent has made an error. Because scores on the SCAM are highly dependent on and variable by the particular situation, norms for score ranges, means and standard deviations are hard to define. However, researchers generally accept a score between 39 to 65 as low, 66 to 91 as moderate, and 92 and above as high levels of apprehension.

This research paper aims to investigate the beliefs (perceptions) about distance education(DE) held by the faculty members of Sultan Qaboos Uuniversity (SQU) at the Sultanate of Oman as well as the differences between their beliefs (perceptions) with regards to gender, teaching experience, college academic rank, nationality, etc. This study used a questionnaire as a method of data collection. Findings of the study indicated statistically significant difference in terms of gender. Results show that female faculty members hold positive beliefs (perceptions) about the use of DE in learning and teaching whereas compared to their male colleagues. With regards to nationality, the study found statistically slight differences, wherein the Omani faculty members yielded higher scores on the positive statements and lower at the negative statements.

Background: Not all emotional support messages consist purely of positive statements. Some emotional support messages received by cancer patients simultaneously communicate statements of caring but also negative statements, such as criticisms of patients’ actions. Objective: This study tests if a negative statement occurring within an emotional support message affects cancer patients’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the entire emotional support message as well as the perceived competence of the supporter communicating the emotional support message. Methods: Cancer patients watched video recordings of emotional support messages and subsequently provided ratings on message effectiveness and supporter competence. Some emotional support messages included negative statements, whereas other messages did not. Results: Messages that included a negative statement were rated lower on message effectiveness than messages without negative statements. Cancer patients rated supporters communicating messages with a negative statement as having significantly less competence than those who did not communicate a negative statement. Conclusion: A single negative statement occurring within an emotional support message may result in cancer patients viewing the emotional support as less effective and the supporter as less competent.

<p class="apa">The aim of this study is to investigate whether entrepreneurship trainings can reduce stereotypes against women entrepreneurship. With this aim socio-psychological obstacles to women entrepreneurship in Turkey are examined, and an experimental study is carried out. Entrepreneurship courses were given with a special emphasis on women entrepreneurship and gender issues. To evaluate the out puts of the experimental study, a questionnaire was designed and applied to students. In order to make a comparison, the same questionnaire was applied to students from two other universities, who have taken entrepreneurship courses through the classical method and curricula.</p><p class="apa">Survey tool includes 21 statements on women entrepreneurship, 5 positive and 16 negative. A non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that the experimental group would score lower in negative statements and higher in positive statements, on the average, than the non-experimental group. Test results indicate that mean ranks for the two groups differ significantly from each other in 12 items (p&lt;.05). Experimental group score significantly higher than the non-experimental group in 4 positive and 1 negative statements; and lower than the non-experimental group in 7 negative statements. Compared to non-experimental group, experimental group seems to have higher scoring for awareness and advocacy of women entrepreneurship and lower scoring for socio-psychological obstacles against women entrepreneurship. According to the survey results, it can be concluded that modification of entrepreneurship education curricula will contribute to reduce stereotypes hindering women entrepreneurship.</p>

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument allowing the assessment of attitudes toward non-traditional students. A non-traditional student is defined as a person for whom going to school is not his or her full-time job. One hundred forty-eight undergraduates completed a 75 item survey assessing their attitudes toward non-traditional students. The data were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis that revealed the presence of two factors. The first factor consisted of primarily positive statements and accounted for 14.9% of the variance. The second factor consisted of negative statements and accounted for 8.97% of the variance. Implications for colleges and universities are discussed.

The research aimed to analyze the attitudes and the conception of undergraduate students of the Federal University of Santa Maria in relation to the discipline of Statistics. Were interviewed 256 academics from various undergraduate courses who attended the discipline of Statistics. The applied questionnaire adopted the Likert scale, composed of 20 statements about Statistics, where 10 were positive statements and 10 negative statements, and for data analysis used the Two Parameter Logistic Model of Item Response Theory. The results showed that all 20 items have a good quality and can adequately estimate the level of feeling of students who have a medium feeling in relation to Statistics, between about 1.5 standard deviation around the average. However, there is a lack of items to adequately measure those students who have extreme feelings about Statistics, that is, those who are positioned 1.5 standard deviation above or below average.
