Remote Data

Psychological science is struggling with moving forward in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially due to the halting of behavioral data collection in the laboratory. Safety barriers to assessing psychological behavior in person increased the need for remote data collection in natural settings. In response to these challenges, researchers, including our team, have utilized this time to advance remote behavioral methodology. In this article, we provide an overview of our group’s strategies for remote data collection methodology and examples from our research in collecting behavioral data in the context of psychological functioning. Then, we describe the design and development of our strategies for remote data collection of mother-infant interactions, with the goal being to assess maternal sensitivity and intrusiveness, as well as infants’ adaptive behaviors in several developmental domains. During these virtual visits over Zoom, mother-infant dyads watched a book-reading video and were asked to participate in peek-a-boo, toy play, and toy removal tasks. After the behavioral tasks, a semi-structured interview (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale – VABS III) was conducted to assess the infant’s adaptive behavior in communication, socialization, daily living skills, and motor domains. We delineate the specific strategies we applied to integrate laboratory tasks and a semi-structured interview into remote data collection in home settings with mothers and infants. We also elaborate on issues encountered during remote data collection and how we resolved these challenges. Lastly, to inform protocols for future remote data collection, we address considerations and recommendations, as well as benefits and future directions for behavioral researchers in developmental psychology research.

Memes are a prominent feature of global life in the 21st century. The author asserts that memes are significant to current and future qualitative research. In particular, the text establishes memes as: (a) part of everyday communication, expression, and explanation, thus useful in qualitative research; (b) valuable cultural units and symbols; (c) forms of rapport building and cultivating relational research; (d) approaches that bolster and sustain remote data collection; (e) methods that infuse agency, humor, and creativity into the research process. The author then showcases distinctive ways memes can be effectively incorporated in qualitative research pursuits and publications. The article concludes with the necessity of data collection and representation approaches that advance the meaningfulness and cultural-relevance of qualitative inquiry.

Labor turnover in an illusionary capitalist economies of the 3rd world nations has been on the verge of eroding momentum in the last decade. Hence, the objective of this study is centered on the determination of adverse trend in the mono-cultural society.To determine the rate of influx of labor turnover using “TENDON SCALE” methodology, that will aid in establishing the evils of unemployment generated by it.To examine the advantages of labor turnover, if any, to the organization, as well as the general society, and to recommend a lasting solution that will curb the effects of LT, re-strengthen the labor relation laws of the advantage to the masses. The data collection is mostly based on primary sources as well as historical review of related literature was embarked upon to obtain a wider scope of coverage. Factual discussion was applied on time schedule on selected industries. A structured interview questionnaire was prepared consisting of (50) fifty in number tailored towards allowing individual respondents to expatiate his/her view on the rate of LT in his/her working place. The structured questionnaire was prepared in such away as to segmentize the labor structure/work force on functional basis in order to determine most affected segment of labor force of the organization. The analysis revealed that labor turnover is a hybrid of mono-cultural economy which begets the evils of unemployment ravaging the third world nations. A mono-cultural economy is one without alternative source of revenue, handicapped by vested interest of maraudours governance. A mono-cultural economy is characterized by ambiguity of approach due inconsistency in government policy and ideology, which has nothing to offer (survival of the fittest). When an economy is heavily dependent on one source of mainstay is described as mono-cultural society. Putting financial constraint apart, the study has been characterized by poor responses due to limited knowledge of the term labor turnover to the average worker.Labor laws in most third world nations are tailored to favor the employers rather than the employees, hence the actual cause/causes of LT cannot be ascertained based on responses from the employers and employees.Reasons for job satisfaction/unsatisfaction cannot be established due to the nature of labor laws that permits individual employer to determine the fate of the employees in his organization in mono-cultural economy. Data collection was handicapped by poor responses from the lower segment of the workforce that were restricted from having open interaction with outside visitor. Labor turnover should be a concern of the government for the benefit of its citizenship in all practical wisdom, but this is not the case in mono-cultural economy. It is a case of survival of the fittest, where a citizen is subjected to death penalty by labor laws which should have been in favor of the workforce. Mono-cultural governments are “banana” governments viable only to the survival of the fittest.

The aim of this article is to analyze the fears about menstruation and health that have been passed down to us by oral transmission from a gender perspective. A qualitative study, whose design was the Grounded Theory, performed in Seville, Spain, with 24 rural and urban women from different generations, young (18-25, 26-35 years), middle aged (36-45, 46-55, 56-65 years) and elderly (> 65 years). The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection technique. The discourses were subjected to content analysis, following the steps of Grounded Theory. The results highlight the abundant fears related to use of water during menstruation, with very harmful effects to health. As a conclusion to highlight the lack of women's knowledge about reproductive health and that despite Health Education campaigns there are still ancient misconceptions present about menstruation.

BACKGROUND Despite an aging population, older adults are typically underrecruited in clinical trials, often because of the perceived burden associated with participation, particularly travel associated with clinic visits. Conducting a clinical trial remotely presents an opportunity to leverage mobile and wearable technologies to bring the research to the patient. However, the burden associated with shifting clinical research to a remote site requires exploration. While a remote trial may reduce patient burden, the extent to which this shifts burden on the other stakeholders needs to be investigated. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the burden associated with a remote trial in a nursing home setting on both staff and residents. METHODS Using results from a grounded analysis of qualitative data, this study explored and characterized the burden associated with a remote trial conducted in a nursing home in Dublin, Ireland. A total of 11 residents were recruited to participate in this trial (mean age: 80 years; age range: 67-93 years). To support research activities, we also recruited 10 nursing home staff members, including health care assistants, an activities co-ordinator, and senior nurses. This study captured the lived experience of this remote trial among staff and residents and explored the burden associated with participation. At the end of the trial, a total of 6 residents and 8 members of staff participated in semistructured interviews (n=14). They reviewed clinical data generated by mobile and wearable devices and reflected upon their trial-related experiences. RESULTS Staff reported extensive burden in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities to support activities of the trial. Among staff, we found eight key characteristics of burden: (1) comprehension, (2) time, (3) communication, (4) emotional load, (5) cognitive load, (6) research engagement, (7) logistical burden, and (8) product accountability. Residents reported comparatively less burden. Among residents, we found only four key characteristics of burden: (1) comprehension, (2) adherence, (3) emotional load, and (4) personal space. CONCLUSIONS A remote trial in a nursing home setting can minimize the burden on residents and enable inclusive participation. However, it arguably creates additional burden on staff, particularly where they have a role to play in locally supporting and maintaining technology as part of data collection. Future research should examine how to measure and minimize the burden associated with data collection in remote trials.

General Indicator

Although in Romania the number of divorces is considered to be in a continuous increase, in reality, the data of the National Institute of Statistics show that in Romania, the divorce rate remains constant and in small shares. In 1990, the Romanian divorce rate was 1.42 ‰ and the latest national INS data show a general indicator of 1.39 ‰. The low divorce rate in Romania does not imply, at the same time, a high rate of marital happiness in the Romanian family. With many cultural influences, the condition of being divorced does not enjoy much tolerance, so some of the potential legal separation decisions are obscured by traditional imperatives that block or delay the divorce. However, the new legal proceedings after 2010 regarding the option of legal separation at a notary or before the registrar have created the premise of a simplified divorce that avoids the courts, long and frequent appearances, as well as greater exposure. The study aims to analyze the motivations of individuals for divorce at the notary or the registrar, starting from the dilemma of arguing a simplified legal procedure or a decision related to a better protection of privacy. The paper is based on a qualitative research, the method used being the sociological survey, and the research tool - the semi-structured interview. For the data collection, the technique of non-probabilistic qualitative sampling of convenience was used.
