The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of an online live group program with Greek traditional dances on the self-esteem and anxiety of the participants. The research involved 147 people, 43 men and 104 women, aged 49,73±8,141 years old, members of Cultural Clubs. The participants were randomly divided into the experimental group (N=75) and the control group (N=72). The experimental group participated in online live group lessons of Greek traditional dances, through the online platform ZOOM, twice a week. Each lesson had a 45-minute duration and the program lasted 12 weeks, during the quarantine imposed due to COVID-19. During the same period of 12 weeks, the control group continued its daily life in quarantine. The participants in both groups completed the Heatherton and Polivy (1991) State Self-Esteem Scale to measure performance self-esteem, social self-esteem and appearance self-esteem, as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-FORM X-1 by Spielberger et al. (1970) for the measurement of state anxiety, before and after the 12-week period. The processing of the data showed that after participating in the online live group program of Greek traditional dances, the participants in the experimental group significantly increased their performance self-esteem (t=-7,75, p<0,001), social self-esteem (t=-5,23, p<0,001), and appearance self-esteem (t=-5,67, p<0,001), but they significantly reduced their state anxiety (t=7,33, p<0,001). Regarding the participants in the control group, after the 12-week period, the studied variables moved in the undesirable direction, as evidenced by the reduction in self-esteem factors and the increase in state anxiety. The results show that participating in Greek traditional dance group programs, which are conducted live online, affects positively the self-esteem and state anxiety of the participants. Consequently, during these difficult health times that the whole world is experiencing, participating in online live group programs of Greek traditional dance may improve the participants’ psychological state, offering at the same time the solution on the one hand to distance oneself from other people and on the other hand to come in contact with people.

This study has explored the valence of sibship that may empower the self-esteem of children with asthma at the interpersonal, environmental control competence, emotionality management, and body-image levels. It has been assumed that the relationship between siblings may have a moderating effect on the negative impact that asthma has on child’s development. Seventy children suffering from chronic asthma have been involved: 40 children with siblings (experimental group) and 30 sibling-free children (control group). The children with asthma have exhibited higher levels of self-esteem in comparison with the sibling-free children. The results of the study, at the clinical significance level, highlight how meaningful could be the involvement of healthy siblings to support the development, and to ease the compliance of children suffering from asthma. The outcomes have confirmed the supportive valence of sibship for the self-esteem of the children with asthma.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of youth volunteering in increasing the self-esteem of hearing children of deaf adults (CODAs), who commonly start taking care of their parents from a young age. To this end, an experimental study based on the non-equal comparison groups design was applied to a experimental group of 4 participants and a control group of 3 participants, selected based on the recommendation from expert social workers from the M General Social Welfare Center in P City. The volunteer programs, conducted non-face-to-face due to COVID-19, were centered on art activities such as drawing one's own dreams, decorating flowers, and customizing pencil cases. Repeated measures analysis of variance (rANOVA) was conducted to verify the effectiveness of volunteering, and the analysis results are as follows. First, in both the experimental group and the control group, CODAs’ self esteem increased after the program was carried out. Second, while the growth effect appeared in both groups, the slope of increase in the self-esteem of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Accordingly, the effectiveness of volunteering to improve CODAs' self-esteem was verified. This study suggests academic and practical implications based on these findings.

An experiment was conducted to test the effects of assessment feedback on rapport and self-enhancement. After adult participants (N = 83) completed the Millon Index of Personality Styles, the experimental group was given personalized assessment feedback; the control group received only general information about the inventory. After the session, all rapport-related scores (positive evaluations of examiner and session) and most of the self-enhancement-related scores (accurate mirroring, self-esteem, self-competence, and self-understanding) were significantly higher in the group that received assessment feedback. These results suggest that both processes are mechanisms by which the provision of assessment feedback produces positive change. Implications for mental health counselors are drawn.

Twenty four female students from physical education faculty at the university of Jordan (19 ± 0.5) years of age, who were assigned in swimming course (2) in the first semester 2014/2015. After completing the self-esteem Questionnaire (Robson Self-Esteem Questionnaire, 1989) the subjects were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (n=12) received physical practice of the breaststroke swimming skill performance, and dialogues for self-esteem development, and control group (n=12) received only physical practice of the breaststroke swimming skill performance. Two measurements were taken; both groups were measured at the beginning (pre-test), in order to establish that all students started at the same level of performance and global self-esteem level, after the pre-test of the breaststroke skills performance, all subjects filled out the self-esteem questionnaire. After the completion of the intervention the final measurements were taken (post-test), to note the impact of the intervention on the student`s performance in breaststroke swimming skills and selfesteem improvement. Statistical analysis included t-Test for mean at pre and post test for the two groups and t-Test for mean at post test in the two groups. The results showed significant differences (p < 0.05) in post test between the two groups in favor of the experimental group. In conclusions learning new swimming skills performance engaged to dialogues for self-esteem development enhanced learning and improved skills performance of the breaststroke swimming.

Service-learning (SL) is a pedagogical model focused on achieving curricular goals while providing a community service. Previous research suggests that SL might promote qualities such as self-esteem, motivation, problem-focused coping, decision-making, empathy, and communication, which are associated with a psychological construct known as students’ Effective Personality (EP). These studies, however, did not specifically analyse the direct effects of SL on this construct. The aim of this study is to explicitly analyse the effect of SL on Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students’ EP using a mixed methods approach. The quantitative part of the approach followed a quasi-experimental design using the validated “Effective Personality Questionnaire for University Students”, which includes four dimensions: “Academic self-efficacy”, “Social self-realisation”, “Self-esteem”, and “Resolutive self-efficacy”. A non-probabilistic sampling on a total of 181 PETE students was then carried out, with 98 participating in the experimental group (42 male, 56 female), and 83 in the control group (34 male, 49 female). The comparisons revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, especially in the social self-realisation and resolutive self-efficacy dimensions. These findings were complemented by a qualitative analysis of 12 students’ semi-structured interviews. In conclusion, the study reported a positive influence of SL on the PETE students’ EP, providing valuable design patterns for future SL implementations.

Objective: Many deaf adolescents tend to show more aggression, due to their less social and emotional skills. This also affects their self-evaluation and self-esteem. Life skills are related to the personal, intellectual, emotional, and physical development of an individual. The present study was done to examine the effectiveness of a life skills training program on improvement of the self-esteem and aggression control of deaf adolescents girls. Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design using a control group Was done on 34 female deaf adolescents who were studying in first, second, and third grade of high school in Nezam Mafi High School, Tehran, Iran. Participants were selected using a purposive convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control groups). The Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) were used to collect data. The life skills training program was delivered to the experimental group in eight 60-min sessions. Results: The results showed that the eight sessions of life skills training program significantly increased self-esteem (P<0.001) and decreased aggression of the experimental group of deaf adolescents girls (P<0.001) while there was no change in the control group. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that life skills training should be considered as a method for improving the mental status of deaf adolescent girls. Since there may be less social experiences in deaf adolescents, a training program may help them to achieve more self-esteem skills and be more successful in social communications.

The article focuses on the study of personality self-attitudes and the type of eating behavior. The correlation, comparison and qualitative analysis are an attempt to understand the relationship between the type of eating behavior and attitude of the individual to himself. The obtained results help a better understanding and differentiation of a person's formation, expressed through self-attitudes and its derivatives, which form the self-concept of personality, which, in turn, makes it possible to further introduce this experience into psychocorrectional assistance to a person, in particular: to draw up a program for correcting a person’s self-attitude, which, in turn, will help balance his eating behavior. The purpose is to study the type of eating behavior and its relationship with a person's attitude to himself. Research methods: During the study, the following methods were applied:correlation, comparative and qualitative analysis, tests with standardized questionnaires. Results: With the help of comparative and qualitative analysis, three types of eating behavior were analyzed and compared with the characteristics of self-esteem, and it was found that the key scales by which groups are differentiated are: integral scale S “self-relation” (p≤.029) and scale “self-acceptance” (р≤.039). In a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the experimental and control groups, it was found that the eating behavior for the respondents of the experimental group (with eating disorders) is characterized by high tension in two types: emotional and external types of eating behavior. Conclusions. The study of the "self-relation" factor, which is a structural component of the “Self”, also reveals differences between the two groups. It is concluded that eating disorders are closely related to the balance of structural components of the self, such as: self-esteem, self-acceptance, self-interest, which, in turn, affect the psycho-emotional state of a person.Keyw ords:emotional type of eating behavior, external type of eating behavior, restrictive type of eating behavior, self-relation, features of self-relation, experimental group, control group. Стаття фокусується на вивченні самоставлення особистості та типу харчової поведінки. За допомогою кореляційного, порівняльного та якісного аналізу здійснюється спроба зрозуміти тип харчової поведінки з формою ставлення особистості до себе. Отримані результати допомагають кращому розумінню і диференціації становлення людини, що виражається через самоставлення і його деривати, які формують Я-концепцію особистості. Дозволяє у подальшому впровадити цей досвід у психокорекційну допомогу людині, зокрема: скласти програму корекції самоставлення особистості, що, у свою чергу, допоможе збалансувати її хар-чову поведінку. Метою є вивчення типу харчовоїповедінки та співвідношення його зі ставленням людини до себе. У ході дослідження були застосовані наступні методи: кореляційний, порівняльний та якісний аналіз, тести зі стандартизованими анкетами. За допомогою порівняльного та якісного аналізу було проаналізовано три типи харчовоїповедінки та порівняно з особливостями самоставлення особистості. Встановлено, що ключо-вими шкалами, за якими диференціюються групи, є: шкала S “глобальне самоставлення” (р≤.029) та шкала “самоприйняття” (р≤.039). При порівняльному аналізі отриманих даних експериментальноїта контрольної груп було встановлено, що харчова поведінка для респондентів експериментальноїгрупи (із порушенням харчової поведінки) відрізняється більшою напругою по двох типах: емоційному та екстернальному типам харчової поведінки. Дослідження фактору “самоставлення”, який є структурним компонентом “Я”,також виявляє відмінності між двома групами. Зроблено висновок, що порушення харчової поведінки тісно пов’язано зі збалансованістю структурних компонентів Я, таких як: самоставлення, самоприйняття, самоінтерес, які, в свою чергу, впливають на психоемоційний стан людини. Отримані результати дослідження доцільно операціоналізувати в психокорекційних і психопрофілактичних програмах в рамках роботи з порушенням харчової поведінки особистості.Ключовіслова: емоційний тип харчової поведінки, екстернальний тип харчової поведінки, обмежувальний тип харчової поведінки, самоставлення, особливості самоставлення, експериментальна група, контрольна група.
