This study examines the family and social expectations of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) clergy children, their mental and emotional health concerns, and the relationship between expectations and emotional health. The study used data triangulation from an online survey (N=120) and four focus groups to answer the research questions. The greatest source of concern came from clergy children’s perceptions about was how the people in their parent’s congregation thought they should behave. In addition, results show that the majority of the respondents expressed some level of concern about anxiety/depression or their emotional health. The findings reveal a statistically significant relationship between the expectations that clergy children recalled and the mental and emotional concerns they experienced. Clergy children expected to attend more church services, reported more concerns about their mental and emotional health. These findings provide a call to action for Christian social workers, particularly those engaged in congregational social work.

A percentage of 13% of EU citizens are affected, at some point in their life, by depression. Paradoxically, Romanians are among the happiest Europeans, despite constant economic difficulties. However, surveys show that people are increasingly worried, suffering from anxiety, depression and stress. A recent study shows that 20% of Romanians suffer from mental disorders. Most are adults who have problems in professional life, in society, in the family. Such patients are always sad, without desire for life, they are withdrawn, they do not want to socialize. Anxiety is the main disease suffered by Romanians and even people around the world. Romanians are afraid of the economic crisis, corruption, poverty, climate change, terrorist attacks, crime. The objective of the public policy proposal is to approach with priority the mental and emotional health of the people in Romania.

Abstract Anxiety and depression are one of the most distressing symptoms for the family caregivers. Little is known about the relationship between sleep impairments and anxiety/depression in this population and how objective and subjective sleep measures differ in relation to anxiety. This study was designed to examine the relationship between sleep impairments and anxiety/depression in people with dementia, using both subjective and objective sleep measures. Among the 170 study participants, 50% (n=85) reported to have anxiety/depression. In univariate logistic regression analyses on anxiety/depression, adjusting for dementia stage, people with more subjective sleep impairment had higher odds of having anxiety/depression (OR=1.111; 95% CI: 1.020-1.211, p=0.016) and people with poorer subjective sleep quality had higher odds of having anxiety/depression (OR=1.702; 95% CI: 1.046-2.769, p=0.032). Objective sleep measures from actigraphy did not show any significant relationships to anxiety/depression. The results suggest that subjective sleep measures are closely related to anxiety/depression in this population.

One of the intersections of the video games and cinema industry is the subject of adaptation. There are many productions adapted from movies to video games or from video games to movies. In this study, it is aimed to define the response of the films adapted from video games on the audience side. The audience and the actor are part of these adapted productions, their location plays a role in shaping the future of these productions, in this context the results obtained in this study are valuable in terms of expressing the potential of these productions. In this study, two different methods were used to achieve objective results; Online survey with 11 professionals in the cinema industry and cinema education, an analysis of the data collected from the criticism sites on www.imdb.com and www.metascore.com, and the comments of registered users. With the analysis of these comments obtained from the audience, the focus of the audience has been determined, and with the answers given by the people who have received cinema education or professionals who are professional in the cinema sector, information has been provided on both the foresight and the situation in it. These methods are analyzed within themselves and in the conclusion part, the results of the two methods are combined. As a result, it is that the audience evaluates these films without separating them from the game and they wish that this cooperation will continue to develop and continue. It has been determined that failed film samples are not decisive for video games. Although the audience thinks that this genre will develop, more successful results will be achieved, it has been understood that the feeling of being active in the game is more dominant to the feeling of being passive in the movie. It was seen that the relationship of the audience with the films was video game centered, and the emotions he felt in the game and the details of the game were also looked for in the inner structure of the film.

Husbands and wives often provide different reports about the qualities of their relationship—a pattern of reporting that is often discounted as measurement error. In the present study, we tested three research questions related to perceptions of marital conflict in a sample of 123 married couples. First, we tested whether individual and partner attachment and depressive symptoms were associated with reports of conflict. Then, we examined whether these characteristics also explain absolute and directional discrepancies in reports of marital conflict. Finally, we examined how discrepancies in reports of marital conflict might be related to discrepancies in other dyadic reports within the family. Analyses revealed that individuals’ attachment avoidance and anxiety, but not depressive symptoms, were linked to their own perceptions of marital conflict. Further, partners’ attachment anxiety was positively associated with one’s own perceptions of marital conflict. Additional analyses revealed that wives’ attachment avoidance was positively associated with absolute discrepancies about conflict. Wives’ attachment avoidance predicted directional discrepancies, such that they reported relatively more conflict than their husbands reported as their attachment avoidance increased. Husbands’ attachment anxiety was marginally associated with overreporting conflict relative to their wives’ reports. Finally, discrepancies in spouses’ reports of marital conflict were associated with mother–adolescent and father–adolescent discrepancies in reports of parent–adolescent conflict. Results highlight the importance of measuring both partners’ perceptions of the relationship in order to capture meaningful variation in multi-informant reports.

Abstract Objectives Postpartum anxiety is associated with failure to meet breastfeeding (BF) goals. While BF self-efficacy is a potential moderator of this relationship, the relationship between postpartum anxiety, BF self-efficacy, and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has not yet been assessed. The objective was to assess relationships between EBF, anxiety, depression, and BF self-efficacy scores. Methods An online survey using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) was conducted. Eligible mothers were ³ 18 years old, had infants 4–24 weeks old, and had provided breastmilk in the prior 2 weeks. Screening stratified by anxiety across 4 groups (no, low, moderate, high) using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD) tool to ensure sample variability. Possible score ranges for each scale were: GAD (0–21), STAI (20–80), EPDS (0–30), and BSES (14–70). Full sample correlations assessed relationships between STAI, EPDS, and BSES scores. Independent t-tests assessed for differences in scale scores by EBF status. Results Participants (n = 129) were primarily white (92.2%), non-Hispanic (90.7%), married (74.4%), and primiparous (62%). About half were low income and 56.6% reported EBF. Mean scale scores were as follows: GAD = 8.2 (+5.7); STAI = 24.6 (+12.9); EPDS = 9.7 (+4.6); and BSES = 56.8 (+11.4). STAI and EPDS scores were positively correlated (P < .001). BSES scores negatively correlated with STAI (P = .027) and EPDS (P < .001) scores. BSES scores were higher among those reporting EBF (60.0 vs. 53.3; P < .001). Conclusions In this sample of mostly white, non-Hispanic, married women, preliminary findings indicate potentially important relationships between BF self-efficacy and anxiety and depression, and suggest these relationships may impact EBF. Future work, increasing our understanding of the relationship between postpartum anxiety and EBF, may provide important intervention pathways.

Technological progress not only brings with it resources that improve and facilitate the day-to-day life of the people who make up society but also entails health risks, with the emergence of terms, such as nomophobia, which is considered an anxiety disorder produced by the fear that not having a mobile phone generates in a person. This research aims to identify the relationship and influence between levels of nomophobia and the age or educational stage of students. The research method is based on a correlational and predictive design of quantitative methodology. The instrument used is the NMP-Q questionnaire. The study population is students from different educational stages (obligatory secondary education, baccalaureate, vocational training and university). The results show that students over 12 years old present an average level of “nomophobia” (no-mobile-phone phobia), namely, not being able to communicate with the family where the highest levels are presented. We conclude that students over 12 years of age and of any educational stage present an average level of nomophobia, and it cannot be determined that either the educational stage or the age are determining factors in the presentation of this problem. This can occur at any age and at any level of the different educational stages, although there are risk indicators that we should bear in mind to avoid the appearance of nomophobia.

This study aims to construct the assets accountability of the Sultan Mudaffar Sjah II era of the Ternate’s Sultanate (1975-2015). The focus of the study was to uncover various forms of embodiment and values contained in accountability during the Sultan Mudaffar Sjah II Ternate’s Sultanate. This research uses ethnographic methods developed by River and Boas. The analysis used to answer research questions uses Foucoult's historical thought analysis of Power-Knowledge. Questions were given to several informants who explained that they were competent to support this research. In carrying out asset accountability, the values inherent in the Accountability of Sultan Mudaffar Sjah are based on the philosophy of Jou se Ngofangare which is closely held by the Ternate’s Sultanate. Accountability of Jou se Ngofangare is what gave birth to a trilogy of dimensions that instills the values of a harmonious relationship between humans and God, humans and humans, and the relationship between humans and nature. The construction of accountability for Sultan Mudaffar's assets takes several forms: His view is that all property is intended for the people. Much has been done by Sultan Mudaffar Sjah during his leadership in the contemporary era, from protecting all forms of the Sultanate's assets. Starting from accountability for power, accountability for trust and responsibility for customary land, until he also donated land for the public interest in this case to the City Government of Ternate, namely for the construction of Khairun University as well as the construction of an airport.

Going green has become a new trend for Indian consumers. The perception towards green environment gave birth to the new insight of consumers. This study is guided by four research questions: (1) Identifying perception of Indian consumers about green attributes of hotels, (2) Identifying willingness to pay (WTP) of Indian consumers for green attributes of hotels, (3) Identifying the difference between the family income and willingness to pay of Indian consumers towards green attributes of hotels, and (4) and identifying the relationship between the perception and willingness to pay of Indian consumers towards green attributes of hotels. The current study concluded that Indian consumers have a positive perception towards green products and services but positive perception of consumers does not have positive willingness to pay. Some Indian consumers are willing to pay for green products and services but many of them are not ready to pay an extra amount for the same. So it’s a big challenge for the hoteliers to come out with those green services which can attract consumers. Also, they should make aware about the usage of green services and its importance so that consumers can easily buy without any hesitation.
