Value Relations

The problem of the formation of value relations of the student in the information society of the development of the education system is actualized by the fact that the processes of mastering and reflecting the social reality of schoolchildren go along with the processes of building and constructing the image of the world and themselves in this world. With an increase in the volume of information in a world of diversity and complexity, students find it difficult to comprehend the information received, to form personal meanings. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of students ' value orientations, to experimentally prove the effectiveness of involving students in various practices of social participation as a significant factor in the formation of value relations in the educational system. The methodological basis of the research is the cultural and historical theory of L. S. Vygotsky. The study involved 365 students aged 11 to 18 years, studying in general education organizations. The empirical basis is based on projective techniques: "Unfinished situation", "Fantastic choice", the method of free choice of presented answers (N. E. Shchurkova). For statistical processing of the results of the study, the Fisher criterion was applied. The formation of students ' value relations was built up in the process of involving them in various practices of social participation as the inclusion of students in socially useful activities for the benefit of specific people and the social environment as a whole. Significant changes were found in the cognitive (in fifth and seventh graders - p < 0.05; in tenth graders - p < 0.01), emotional (in fifth and seventh graders - p < 0.05), and practically effective (in all age groups-p < 0.05) components of value orientations. The tenth-graders showed positive dynamics in the emotional component of value orientations, but no significant changes were revealed. The effectiveness of students ' involvement in the practice of social participation is considered not as a fait accompli, but as a dynamic process, as a result of which the student develops the ability to be a subject of his own life in the conditions of social childhood. The study proves the need to involve students in social activities in child-adult communities based on the school. As a result, the understanding of life is carried out more effectively, on the basis of taking into account the interests of another person, the emotional sphere of the student develops, the student consistently masters the experience of social life with the support of a significant adult.

Factors Of Influence

The article analyzes the level of happiness on the basis of the data provided by the RLMS study. Happiness is viewed as a subjective state of mind influenced by the social situation in which an individual finds him or herself. The level of happiness turns out to be dependent on sex and age. The latter is especially salient: young people feel happy more often than respondents in more advanced age groups. Standards of living and employment are also marked as variable that have considerable impact on the level of happiness. It appears that income influences happiness indirectly through the parameters of social environment and norms that characterize it. A respondent feels somewhat happier if his or her level of material well-bing is higher than the average. The level of respect shown by other people towards the respondent is another factor that can impact the level of happiness. The feeling of loneliness is a variable with considerable influence on other parameters of social life: the lonelier is the person, the more likely he or she would feel unhappy. The study demonstrated that the level of happiness, against expectations, depends primarily on the quality of social milieu.

Accessibility is a prerequisite for participation in social life. The possibilities of a person with disability and environmental barriers determine the level of accessibility in various areas of cultural life. The degree of infrastructure adaptations and less visible symbolic interactions have a significant impact on the possibility of social participation and access to cultural artifacts by people from groups at risk of social exclusion. Theater is an area of art, an inseparable element of which is a meeting, and thus openness to what is different, conditions for establishing dialogue and performative interaction. In the Polish theater of recent years, the context of disability is more and more often perceived as a subject of artistic creation. The article discusses institutional theaters constituting significant culture-forming centers in individual regions and taking part in international festivals. The formal infrastructural availability of theatrical spaces to the needs of people with disabilities and the adaptation of the cultural offer to perceptive capabilities of people with different disabilities were analyzed. Other activities related to the social phenomenon of disability were also indicated, if it was possible.

Two preventive intervention programs on alcohol and other substance use were devised for classrooms of junior and senior high school students. One program focused on resistance to social influence, and the other on attitude change and decision making. Youngsters undergoing these interventions were compared with controls who had no intervention on both alcohol usage measures and nonusage psychosocial indices at a pre-intervention baseline, at one-year post-intervention for tenth graders, and at two-year post-intervention for seventh graders. No difference in outcome between the two interventions was found for tenth graders, but one-year post-intervention tenth graders who had either of the interventions used less alcohol than controls. Nonusage measures were not affected. Seventh graders showed no usage effects of interventions two years post-intervention, but the nonusage measures suggested more prosocial behavior. Also among seventh graders, those with a high score on peer or parent alcohol use modeling responded better to the social resistance intervention, while those with a low score responded better to the attitudinal intervention.

A total of 461 people (mean age 36.86±5.8 years) completed the social integration questionnaire in a cross-sectional study. The effects of Covid-19 on social interaction were then calculated by analyzing CIQ scores before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 and the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.ResultsComparing the participants score in the Community Integration Questionnaire before and after the COVID-19 pandemic showed that COVID-19 reduced home integration (from 4.6909±2.84 to 3.5938±2.80 , t= 11.151 p <0.000), social integration (from 8.6529±1.98 to 6.1150±2.10, t= 25.440, p <0.000), integration into productive and purposeful activities (from 5.3145±1.70 to 3.5098±2.02, t= 23.226, p <0.000) and total CIQ test score (from 18.6584±4.02 to 13.2185±4.56 , t= 29.022, p <0.000). These findings show how all three CIQ domains and their total scores decreased significantly after the outbreak of COVID-19.ConclusionAfter the COVID-19 epidemic, people's social life is severely disrupted.

The aim of this study is to assess the peculiarities of vitality and its components in patients with depressive disorders considering their age and sex. The study involved 107 men and 138 women with depressive disorders, who underwent clinical and psychological examination and were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their live energy and health components of vitality. The findings obtained demonstrated the low level of vitality in patients with depression. In men, the level of social engagement was 22.2±5.9 scores in the age group up to 30 years; 19.0±6.8 scores in the age group of 30-44 year participants, and 11.6±10.0 scores in the age group of 45 year old and over; while in the control groups this value was 20.9±4.4 scores, 19.5±5.9 scores and 13.2±9.2 scores respectively. The assumption of risk was in the test groups was scored 9.9±3.4, 8.7±3.2, and 5.6±4.3 respectively; vitality rate made up 53.1±11.7 scores, 47.2±13.4 scores and 30.4 ± 22.7 scores respectively.

Struggle For Recognition

The text presented here is a fragment of a larger study on a private and social life of a group of women, actresses. It concerns attempts to create and show their own identity according to their fight for recognition (self-trust, self-estimation in the society, in the family environment, in public space as well as in their own opinions). The strategy of this study was qualitative research, based on a grounded theory methodology. The study was performed on 27 actresses, divided into three age groups. All the studied subjects had a very good economic status and all were successful professionals. The article presents an analysis carried out on the basis of a free flowing but planned interview. The struggle for recognition is treated as a way of restoring a constantly threatened personality and describes the contemporary woman, her situation and her actions. This research shows the problem that professional women come across, namely the women are successful actresses but at the same time wish to be fulfilled in their family lives. Amongst the 18 actresses over the age of 40, 14 talked about taking anti-depressants or about alcohol dependence. Further detailed analysis of the empirical material can help to find the source of the processes, which are a sign of a lack of recognition and which pose a threat to the integrity of the human identity and destroy the social bond which constitutes identity.

Abstract The social world is closely linked to other dimensions of health, including physical health and illness, physical functioning, cognition and emotional well-being, and these links may change across generations and may depend on social and policy context. The papers in this symposium focus on these links. Carr examines the associations between productive engagement in later life and perceptions of social support and interactions with friends and family. She finds that volunteer engagement is associated with greater perceived social support and interaction with friends and family but not with support from spouse. Waite, Duvoisin and Kotwal measure changes in social participation between the Silent Generation cohort, born between1938 and1947, and the Baby Boom cohort, born from1948-1958. They find find that the gender differences shown in the Silent Generation cohort are reduced among those born during the Baby Boom. Azar examines the moderating role of social policy, particularly defamilization, on the link between loneliness and health, using data from30 European countries and the U.S. Choi compares marital and partnership status, social support and strain in Silent Generation vs. Baby Boom cohorts. Her results suggest that those born during the Baby Boom are embedded in looser social relationships compared to their older counterparts. Together, these papers point to the importance of considering various dimensions of social life, gender, and context, including historical time and the life cycle, in understanding how the social world acts to affect well-being.

The author's approach to the technology of “meaning essay” is proposed as a method of initiating the meaning formation of students; the author's interpretation of the term "meaning essay" is given. The authors emphasize the importance of methods and technologies for meaning formation as effective meaning techniques used in the conditions of transformation of education during the transition to the official distance learning. Among the typical disadvantages of “distance education” are discussed the following ones: changes in the form of interaction between teacher and student, decrease of the emotional contact and loss of the emotional connection, transition from the "real" communication - to "virtual" communication via the Internet communications. An "essay" technology is considered from the position of meaning formation. Also the possibilities of a meaning essay as a meaning technique for lessons of the social and humanitarian subjects are shown. A theoretical comparative analysis of the "essays" and "compositions" is carried out. The following mechanisms of initiating the formation of students' meanings are shown: through involvement into the dialogue, actualization of personal meanings and empathy, the comprehension of socialized meanings through awareness and understanding of attitudes, contradictions, values and emotional codes. The article presents the analysis of the value orientations according to the method of M. Rokeach and the content analysis of the semantic sphere of the schoolchildren of two age groups: 12-13 and 16-17 years old. The empirical work carried out allows to form possible themes of the "meaning essays" in relation to social studies lessons for the students of the secondary schools 12-13 years old (the seventh grade).
