The government's work from home policy because of COVID-19 Pandemic has had an impact on changing the learning system. This policy necessitates that students use technology to carry out learning activities. This causes the individual to experience difficulties. The digitization of learning activities has an impact on mental health problems such as technostress. Technostress refers to a modern adaptation disease caused by an inability to cope with new technology. The level of technostress of each individual varies depending on their religious orientation and level of psychological capital (PsyCap). Based on these two internal factors, this study examines how religious orientation and PsyCap influence technostress levels as observed among business students in Indonesia. This study provides empirical evidence suggesting that intrinsic religious orientation and PsyCap can encourage individuals to endure challenges and rising demand, thereby reducing the stress caused by technology. These outcomes assist policymakers to implement programs oriented towards individuals' PsyCap.

Practice theory has recently emerged within consumer studies as a promising approach that shifts focus from the individual consumer towards the collective aspects of consumption, and from spectacular and conspicuous dimensions of consumption towards routine and mundane aspects of consumption. Practice theory is, however, not a commonly agreed upon theory, but more like an approach, or a turn within contemporary social theory. When using practice theory in consumer studies, there are thus several conditions that need further clarification. The focus in this article is on how change and continuity in practices can be understood in practice theory. Discussions will include the balance between routinization and reflectivity as well as ways to understand the role of new technology in introducing change in consumer practices. One aspect of this is a discussion on how to include technologies and other types of material consumer goods in practice theory. Case studies on household energy consumption are used as an empirical basis for these discussions. Looking at household energy consumption through the theoretical lens of practice theory necessitates discussion on whether energy consumption should be viewed as one single practice or part of several different practices. The latter stimulates questioning on how these different consumer practices are related to each other horizontally and vertically, as parallel practices or as different levels of practices, and whether changes in one practice affect (or refrain from affecting) other related consumer practices, whether through reflexivity, routines or the materiality of consumer goods.

Purpose This paper aims to identify and elucidate the culinary territorial (regional) characteristics that may support the development of stakeholder relations with and perceptions of a territorial system. It further focuses on these support interactions between destination managers and stakeholders and how online technology can transform them into a word-of-mouth source. Design/methodology/approach The authors present a theoretical framework, stemming from a case study of a tour operator and its technological (social media, etc.) dynamics on the relational aspects between destination management and stakeholders. Through a combination of qualitative tools and secondary data analysis, this paper analyzes the interrelationships of authenticity and place-as-brand concept, considered as the set of human characteristics associated with a brand in a “living like” travel experience. Findings Culinary tourism is seen as a relevant and significant factor in facilitating interaction between the destination community and its stakeholders, and a meaningful element, which when technologically communicated and enhanced, strengthens both the perception and the brand image of a destination. Practical implications Such new technology-enhanced insights into tourists’ experience could be exploited to plan and implement destination management and development strategies in a way that would be expected, accepted and welcomed by stakeholders, including tourists themselves. In this context, this paper presents and prescribes the role of culinary characteristics and stakeholder relationship management to develop new culinary business models and different destination community approaches toward practical implementation at both the individual (business) and the collective (authorities) levels. Originality/value The proposed framework fills the gap in the role of culinary tourism resources particularly in those areas where food has no viable certification even if it essentially constitutes a manifestation of traditions.

Purpose of the article is the analysis of the conceptual positions of the representatives of psychological science within the concept of “mental development” and definition of the periodization of mental development in the views of domestic and foreign representatives. Research methods. Analysis and synthesis, systematization of scientific sources, comparison and generalization.Results. It is determined that mental development covers various fields of human existence, including such as: psychophysiological, cognitive and psychosocial ones. It is characterized by features that are expressed in irreversibility, direction and regularity.It is considered the S. Hall's theory of recapitulation, which is based on the biogenetic law in the article. Taking into account the contribution of S. Hall to the development of psychological knowledge, E. Hutchison lays the extraction of food by man as a criterion in the basis of mental development. It is determined the role of ethical and moral ideas in the views of L. Kohlberg and the connection with the periodization of human development.It was taken into account the role of psychological orientations of a human in his life and their role at each stage of mental development of the individual through the theory of psychosocial development of E. Erickson. It is determined the place of intelligence in human development and its connection with the development of the human psyche in the views of J. Piaget. It is characterized the views of S. Khudoyan views in the periodization of human development, where in his research he relied on the functional significance of biological, social and psychological neoformations.Conclusions. According to the results of theoretical analysis, it is established that a mental development is influenced by both external and internal factors, or biological and social. Periodization of its development was devised by scientists and theorists in accordance with the driving forces, which in their opinion were decisive. It was identified the areas according to which theories of periodization of mental development were devised: biogenetic, sociogenetic and mixed.Key words: psyche, mental development, subjective and objective factors, age, crisis periods. Мета. Метою статті є аналіз концептуальних положень представників психологічної науки в рамках поняття «психічний розвиток» та визначення проблематики періодизації психічного розвитку в поглядах вітчизняних та зарубіжних представників. Методи. Аналіз та синтез, систематизація наукових джерел, порівняння та узагальнення.Результати. Визначено, що психічний розвиток охоплює собою різні сфери людського буття, вклю-чаючи психофізіологічну, когнітивну та психосоціальну сфери. Для нього характерні особливості, які виражаються в незворотності, спрямованості та закономірності.У статті розглянуто теорію рекапітуляцій С. Холла, в основі якої лежить біогенетичний закон. Беручи до уваги вклад С. Холла в розвиток психологічного знання, Е. Гетчисон в основу психічного розвитку закладає добування їжі людиною як критерій. Визначено роль етичних та моральних уявлень у поглядах Л. Колберга та зв’язок із періодизацією розвитку людини. Проаналізовано наявність кризових періодів у періодизації психологічного розвитку особистості в поглядах Л. Виготського та В. Слободчикова.Було взято до уваги роль психологічних орієнтирів людини в її житті та їх роль на кожному етапі психічного розвитку особистості через теорію психосоціального розвитку Е. Еріксона. Визначено місце інтелекту в розвитку особистості та зв’язок його з розвитком психіки в поглядах Ж. Піаже. Охарактеризовано погляди С. Худояна в періодизації розвитку людини, де у своїх дослідженнях він спирався на функціональне значення біологічних, соціальних та психологічних новоутворень.Висновки. За результатами теоретичного аналізу встановлено, що психічний розвиток зазнає впливу як зовнішніх, так і внутрішніх чинників, або ж біологічних і соціальних. Періодизація психічного розвитку розроблялась науковцями та теоретиками відповідно до рушійних сил, які, на їхню думку, були визначальними. Були виділені напрями, згідно з якими розроблялись теорії періодизації психічного розвитку: біогенетичний, соціогенетичний та змішаний. Подальші перспективи дослідження будуть розширювати ґрунтовність вивчення означеної проблеми.Ключові слова: психіка, психічний розвиток, суб’єктивні та об’єктивні чинники, вік, кризові періоди.

The Problem Life for faculty members is becoming more complex and stressful due to the rate of change and the ever-increasing demands being placed on them: publish in top journals, apply for funding, teach and support more students, integrate new technology into classes, serve on committees, and contribute to your discipline and professional association. Current systems, policies, and practices within higher education often fail to recognize the unique contributions of faculty members, especially those who might not reflect the traditional perspectives that have been put in place for decades. Rather, there remains a strongly guarded tradition of what is valued and rewarded within higher education. Hence, higher education needs to transform its organizational culture, valuing individual contributions, meeting workforce demands, and ensuring the health of the education system and society. The Solution The field of human resource development (HRD) with its interdisciplinary roots and expertise in learning, leadership, organizational change, and culture is uniquely poised to not only inform this conversation, but also to critique and contribute to the transformation of faculty work and associated expectations. This Issue addresses and identifies where changes are needed at the individual, organizational, and societal levels to transform the role of faculty members so that it is better aligned with the current environment and context of higher education. The Stakeholders Scholars, practitioners, administrators, and community who recognize that the health of the broader community is affected by the quality of higher education and, in particular, faculty and the way that they teach and prepare students to be scholar-practitioners.

The role of parents in carrying out learning for children's lives in the future is very important, the absence of this parent's role can result in negative consequences that can affect it, especially children with special needs. On the other hand, currently changes in the learning system due to the pandemic have resulted in the government adopting a distance learning policy so that teachers have to innovate more in developing strategies to carry out learning activities, besides that in this new learning system, parents must participate in accompanying children's learning. This is something new for some parents because previously children were entrusted to formal and non-formal institutions, as a result, many parents were confused about how to assist their children in learning. In this study, it discusses the role of parents in accompanying children without being separated from Islamic values which aim to make it easier to provide a description of parents about their roles in assisting children to learn. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach using representation theory. The result of this research is to describe the role of parents, especially mothers, in accompanying children to study at home and become role models for children. This study also reveals that the main character of the animated film is a child with disabilities. Meanwhile, the Islamic values presented are instilling a sense of gratitude, responsibility and sharing with others.                    Abstrak Peran orang tua dalam melakukan pembelajaran untuk kehidupan anak kedepan sangatlah penting, ketiadaan peran orang tua ini bisa mengakibatkan konsekuensi negatif yang dapat mempengaruhinya, apalagi anak yang mempunyai kebutuhan khusus. Di sisi lain saat ini perubahan sistem pembelajaran dengan adanya pandemi mengakibatkan pemerintah mengambil kebijakan pembelajaran jarak jauh sehingga menjadikan guru harus lebih berinovasi dalam menyusun strategi untuk menjalankan kegiatan pembelajaran, selain itu dalam sistem pembelajaran yang baru ini menjadikan orangtua harus ikut berpartisipasi dalam mendampingi belajar anak, hal ini merupakan sesuatu yang baru bagi sebagian orangtua karena sebelumnya anak dititipkan pada lembaga formal maupun nonformal, akibatnya tidak sedikit orang tua yang bingung bagaimana cara dalam mendampingi anak belajar. Dalam penelitian ini membahas peran orang tua dalam mendampingi anak dengan tidak terlepas dari nilai islami yang  bertujuan untuk  memudahkan dalam memberikan gambaran orang tua mengenai perannya dalam mendampingi anak belajar. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan teori representasi. Hasil dari penelitian adalah menggambarkan peran orang tua terkhusus ibu dalam mendampingi anak belajar di rumah dan menjadi sosok teladan bagi anak, dalam penelitian ini mengungkapkan juga bahwa tokoh utama dari film animasi tersebut merupakan anak difabel. Sedangkan nilai-nilai islami yang dipresentasikan adalah menanamkan rasa bersyukur, tanggungjawab dan berbagi terhadap sesama.

Abstrak Memasuki era 4.0, segala sektor dalam aktivitas kehidupan sudah mulai terdigitalisasi, begitupun yang terjadi dalam sektor pendidikan. Selain itu kondisi Pandemi COVID-19 mewajibkan aktivitas pembelajaran dilakukan di rumah. Hal tersebut tentunya menuntut peran teknologi digital untuk mendukung sistem pendidikan jarak jauh atau yang lebih dikenal PJJ. Namun dalam penerepan sistem pendidikan jarak jauh tentunya tidak mudah dan banyak hal yang menjadi kendala-kendala dalam sistem pembelajaran tersebut, hal ini disebabkan beberapa hal antara lain kesiapan guru dan siswa menghadapi proses pembelajaran yang berbeda dari sebelumnya dan juga model dari desain pembelajaran yang tentunya perlu di sesuaikan agar hasil dari pembelajaran dapat tetap maksimal. Tentunya banyak alternatif model pembelajaran dalam sistem pembelajaran jarak jauh, salah satu yang dapat diterapkan pada situasi saat ini ialah Model Flex blanded learning. Abstract Entering the 4.0 era, all sectors in life activities have begun to be digitized, as has happened in the education sector. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic condition requires learning activities to be carried out at home. This of course demands the role of digital technology to support the distance education system or better known as PJJ. However, in implementing the distance education system, it is certainly not easy and many things become obstacles in the learning system, this is due to several things, including the readiness of teachers and students to face a different learning process than before and also the model of learning design which of course needs to be implemented. adjusted so that the results of learning can remain maximal. Of course, there are many alternative learning models in distance learning systems, one of which can be applied to the current situation is the Flex blended learning model.

In this chapter I develop the psychological underpinnings of environmental music towards an understanding of how the goals of cognitive and behavioral psychologists contributed to a new kind of listening at the beginning of the twentieth century. I begin with an examination of nineteenth-century concerns about both the physical and psychological effects of music and fraught debate among experimental psychologists of the role of musical expertise in the laboratory. These concerns were, I argue, rooted in the assumption of a direct, corporeal connection between the generation and reception of music, usually bound within a single, individual body. In the twentieth century, new technology liberated the listener from a temporally- and geographically-bound experience of music. The Tone Tests, Re-Creation Recitals, and Mood Change “parties” of Thomas Edison and the psychologist Walter Bingham show that recording technology allowed for a normalization and standardization of listening not previously possible in the music halls and laboratories of the nineteenth century. Rather paradoxically, since it also made music more accessible to the individual listener, recorded music, mobilized by industrial psychologists and record companies alike, created a new sound experience actively designed for the lowest common denominator of mass listening. It also contributed to the cultivation of a new practice of mass listening. The new mass listening practice presents broader questions about the definition of music and its functional role – If the function of music is to be ignored, is it still music?

Role Of Religion

Research on Islamophobia in Switzerland, and on the role of religiosity in relation to Islamophobia, is in its infancy. Against this background, we analyzed data from an online survey conducted in Switzerland on “Xenosophia and Xenophobia in and between Abrahamic religions”. The results of a multivariate analysis revealed that, besides right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and political orientation, indicators related to religion play a crucial role. We found that the greater the role of religion, and the more central it is for the individual, the more likely it is that the individual has a positive view of Islam. We claim that a person’s level of religiosity is accompanied by her adoption of religious values, such as neighbourliness and tolerance, and that the more religious individuals are, the more likely they are occupied with different religions, which leads to tolerance as long as it is not accompanied by a fundamentalist religious orientation. Also relevant is that the preference for the state to have a secularized relationship with religion is accompanied by a fear of Islam. We propose that studies on Islamophobia, as well as on other prejudices, should use differentiated measures for religiosity; the Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS) turned out to be a reliable instrument of measurement in this regard.

Purpose The purpose of this study/paper is to describe the implementation of a six-month schema therapy awareness (STA) group. Research supporting individual schema therapy (ST) as an effective intervention for personality disorder is growing steadily within a number of settings including with forensic patients. Alongside individual ST, positive results have been reported for group ST. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no current published research exists with regard to the use of group ST within forensic populations and more specifically within a low secure environment. Design/methodology/approach This paper describes the implementation of a six-month schema therapy awareness (STA) group with individuals situated within a low secure environment. Findings For individuals transitioning into the community from a secure setting, the focus of risk management should attempt to move away from external controls towards more of a reliance on internal factors. In ST, this is achieved by understanding the role of schema modes (and underlying schemas) that are linked to an individual’s offences/risk and developing this understanding into a coherent and accessible formulation for the individual to make changes. Research limitations/implications Further robust research evaluating clinical change is recommended as the next step. Practical implications The group protocol is described along with the challenges and potential solutions experienced during the implementation. This provides an opportunity for other professionals to replicate this approach in the future. Originality/value With regard to group ST within forensic populations, the research is sparse at present and this study focusses on practical application of theory and the challenges of operationalising a STA group.

Technology has become such a potent force in industrialized society that it influences virtually every aspect of our daily lives. Electronics, energy and genetic engineering are having major effects on society and the individual. Yet the role of technology in health largely has been ignored in public health literature, research and training. Health education has a valuable part to play in the process of this technological application but health educators need to become better informed about the nature of current technologies and their accompanying social issues. They also need to learn how to apply new technology to their profession. The question is whether the change agents to the future will be the educators, organizers, activists and human helpers who have trained for the task of fostering social and individual change or the technocrats who change our social fabric almost inadvertently in the process of inventing a more competitive microchip or mutant bacterium?
