Auditory phase-synchronization near 40Hz is reportedly related to sensory stimulation. This study applied the phase synchrony analysis and Bi-coherence analyses to analyze the electroencephalographic measurements. Four experimental stages were conducted with 34 healthy high school students to collect the data: (A) resting with eyes closed, (B) listening to the classical music, (C) resting with eyes closed, and (D) listening to popular music. The result shows that the whole brain phase-synchronization occurs at 40Hz and lasts about 400 ms, which is quite different from the estimated 40Hz phase-coupling lasting about 20–25 ms in previous studies and seems to play an important role in inducing auditory attention loss. Additionally, the result also shows that hypersynchronous states may affect perceptual processing. This study develops an original nonlinear time serial analytical approach and suggests that 40Hz phase-synchronization might be an important indicator in perceptual process.

Book reading is an important factor contributing to children’s cognitive development and education for sustainable development. However, in a developing country like Vietnam, statistics have reported a low figure in book reading: only 1.2 books a year. This research study used a dataset of 1676 observations of junior high school students from Northern Vietnam to explore students’ reading behavior and its association with demographic factors, and the family’s reading culture. Data analysis suggests the older the student gets, the less inclined they are to read, and being female and having hobbies of low sensory stimulation are linked to higher preference for reading. Regarding scholarly culture at home, students who read more varied types of books and spend more time on books are correlated with higher reading interest. Reading habits are also positively reinforced by the capacity to access books and parental book reading.

String teachers and scholars have suggested that classically trained students may be motivated to engage in eclectic (e.g., rock, pop, jazz, groove, folk) styles. However, we do not fully understand the ways in which students’ motivation to engage in new styles might be influenced by their perceptions of their ability to perform in those styles. In this mixed-method study, we draw upon quantitative, qualitative, and arts-based data from 120 middle and high school students at two camps (one emphasizing classical music, the other emphasizing eclectic styles), to explore various ways in which students develop self-efficacy beliefs and motivation to perform in a variety of musical approaches. According to analysis of all data, students at both camps generally expressed having positive musical and social experiences. Negative experiences, while less common, stemmed from confusion or frustration with music learning, boredom with music that was too easy or not interesting, and competitive comparison with others. Based on findings from qualitative and arts-based data, we suggest that these students may have benefited from additional teacher support when encountering new musical techniques.

ABSTRAK Kenakalan remaja didorong oleh ketidakstabilan remaja dalam mengelola emosi yang berujung pada perilaku kekerasan kepada teman sebaya maupun komunitas lainnya di sekitar remaja. Kecerdasan emotional menjadi indikator penting bagi remaja untuk bersikap dan berperilaku. Ketidakstabilan emosi dalam menghadapi berbagai masalah saat remaja dapat memicu remaja untuk menutupinya dengan perilaku negatif seperti, berkelahi, keras kepala, melamun, senang menyendiri, menggunakan obat terlarang atau  minum-minuman keras dan tawuran. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan desain deskriptif kuantitatif dengan penggembangan instrumen kuesioner emotional quotient dari berbagai teori oleh peneliti. Penelitian dilakukan  terhadap 170 siswa SMA dengan teknik multistage sampling dari berbagai cluster wilayah utara, barat, timur dan selatan Kota Bandung untuk mengetahui tingkat emotional quotient (kecerdasan emosional) remaja. Hasil penelitian menunjukan menunjukan kecenderungan nilai yang hampir sama antara kecerdasan emotional tinggi dan rendah. Kecerdasan emosional tinggi sebesar 51.8% dan kecerdasan emosional rendah sebesar 48.2%. Dari ke lima aspek kecerdasan emosional terdapat dua aspek kecerdasan emosional yang dimiliki oleh remaja dalam kategori rendah yaitu dari 170 responden 96 orang (56.5%) diantaranya memiliki  kemampuan mengelola emosi dalam kategori rendah dan dari 170 responden terdapat 101 remaja (59.4%) memiliki motivasi yang rendah. Hal ini dikarenakan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu dukungan sosial, lingkungan keluarga, lingkungan sekolah, sosio-ekonomi keluarga dan jenis kelamin dari remaja. Hal ini menjadi masukan bagi perawat, keluarga serta pengelola pendidikan remaja untuk meningkatkan kenyamanan secara psikologis pada anak dalam mengenali emosi sendiri untuk meningkatkan kesehatan remaja si masa depan.  ABSTRACTJuvenile delinquency can be driven by adolescents instability in managing emotions that lead to violent behavior to their peers and other communities. Emotional quotient is an important indicator for adolescents attitude and behavior. Emotional instability can trigger adolescents to cover up with negative behaviors such as, fighting, stubbornness, daydreaming, joy alone, using drugs or drinking and fighting. The research was carried out with quantitative descriptive and the questionnaire of emotional quotient is the conduct of the various theories by researcher.The study was conducted on 170 high school students with multistage sampling technique from various cluster of Bandung City to describe emotional quotient level of adolescent. Results showed a similar values between the high and low emotional quotient. the High was 51.8% and the low was 48.2%. Of the five aspects of emotional intelligence emotional intelligence there are two aspects  in the low category of respondents 96 people (56.5%) of them have the ability to manage emotions in categories and low of 101 teens (59.4%) had low motivation.This is due to several factors like social support, family environment, socio-economic environment of the school, family and sex of teens. Nurse, family and school need to increase the comfort of psychologically on recognizing their emotional quotient to improve their health in the future.

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of plyometric exercises applied on unstable platforms on static and dynamic balances of soccer players who continued their high school education. In the study, male soccer players with similar socio-economic status between the ages of 14 and 16 formed the study group (SG; n=24; age=15.08±1.36) and the control group (CG; n=22; age=15.22±1.62). Static Balance Eyes Open (SB-EO), Static Balance Eyes Closed (SB-EC) and Dynamic Balance tests (DB) were applied on the SG and CG as pre- and post-tests for both dominant leg (DL) and non-dominant leg (NDL). SG athletes were subjected to plyometric exercises on unstable surfaces for sixteen sessions that were integrated into the physical education lessons in high school while CG athletes performed only a traditional soccer training program. As a result of the statistical analyses, when the pre-post test scores of the SG were examined, dynamic balance-dominant leg (DB-DL; p=0.03), dynamic balance-non-dominant leg (DB-NDL; p=0.03), static balance eyes open-dominant leg (SB-EO-DL; p=0 01), static balance eyes closed -dominant leg (SB-EC-DL; p=0.03) and static balance eyes closed-non-dominant leg (SB-EC-NDL; p=0.01) measurements were found statistically significant (p<0.05) while the CG had statistical improvements only in SB-EO-DL measurements (p=0.03). When the differences between the two groups were examined, only SB-EC-DL measurements were found statistically significant in favor of the SG (p=0.03). In conclusion, especially the improvement of DL observed in the SG is important for optimum performance considering that it is necessary to use both legs effectively in soccer. Considering the multitude of activities performed on a single leg in soccer, it is thought that the increase in bilateral balance can improve the skills that determine soccer performance in difficult conditions such as dribbling, shooting and passing.

Background Physical fitness is considered an important indicator of health in adolescents. However, in recent years several studies in the scientific literature have shown a considerable lower trend and an alarming worsening of the current adolescents’ physical condition when comparing with previous decades, especially in urban populations. The aim of the current study was to analyse the temporal trend in cardiorespiratory endurance (CRE) in urban Catalan adolescents over a 20-year period (1999–2019). Methods A cross-sectional analysis study considering the 20-m Shuttle Run test (SRT) results obtained in the last 20 years was carried out. 1,701 adolescents between 15 and 16 years old (914 boys and 787 girls) were divided into four groups, corresponding to consecutive periods of five years (Group 1: 1999–2004; Group 2: 2005–2009; Group 3: 2010–2014 and Group 4: 2015–2019). ANOVA was used to test the period effect on CRE and post hoc Bonferroni analysis was performed to test pairwise differences between groups (p < 0.05). Results Results showed a significantly lower performance in CRE in both sexes. The percentual negative difference was 0.67%, 9.6% and 7% for boys and 5.06%, 14.97% and 9.41% for girls, when comparing the performance in 20-m Shuttle Run test for the first period, respectively. Conclusions Results suggest that the physical fitness of Catalan urban adolescents is lower in both sexes when comparing the different analysed periods of time. Therefore, CRE adolescents should be improved in order to help to protect against cardiovascular disease and other health risks in adulthood.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.
