Integrated Behavioral Model

Background: From the beginning of puberty, girls are exposed to many physical-psychological problems that experience for the first time, so it is very important to pay attention to puberty health. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of puberty health behaviors based on application of the Integrated Behavioral Model (IBM) among girls’ high school students. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 265 first grade girls’ high school students in Birjand in 2020 using multi-stags sampling. Data collection tools were a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic information and questions related to IBM constructs that were completed self-administered. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19 software using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Results: Pearson correlation showed that all IBM constructs except experiential attitude and control belief had a significant correlation with puberty health behaviors (P < 0.04). In total, about 54% of the behavior variance was explained by three variables of intention, self-efficacy, and mother's job, among which intention was the strongest predictor of puberty health behaviors (P = 0.001). Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate the high predictive power of IBM for investigating puberty health behaviors. Therefore, using this model to design educational interventions and improve behaviors in the field of maturity is recommended.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between attitudes towards physical activity and self-esteem of high school students. Three different scales were used on 626 adolescents in total who lived in Sivas, found by random sampling method. The first scale is “the Personal Information Scale” consisting of 6 items to determine the demographical characteristics of the participants; the second scale is “the Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBPA)”, which was developed by Schembre et al. (2015) and was adapted to Turkish by Eskiler et al. (2016) to determine the participants’ attitudes towards physical activity; and the last scale is “the Self-Esteem Scale” by Rosenberg (1965) and adapted to Turkish by Çuhadaroğlu (1985) to determine the levels of self-esteem of the participants. The study data was analyzed by SPSS 25 package software. The obtained data were represented as values of frequency (f), percentage (%), average (x-), and standard deviation (±). Pearson Correlation analysis was applied in order to determine the effect of physical activity attitudes on self-esteem. The age average of the participants was determined to be 16,28 (±0,97). The gender distribution was 312 females and 314 males, and the number of those who were participating in licensed sports was 336, and that of those who were not was 290. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between the participants’ attitude towards physical activity and their self-esteem. In conclusion, a positive correlation was found between the attitude towards physical activity and self-esteem. In the study, it was suggested that the tendencies towards physical activity should be protected.

Development Of Resistance

Abstract The purpose of the research is to optimize the development of high school students' resistance through integrated work using means and methods specific to football. Experimental verification of the effectiveness of the specific means of football playing in the development of high school students' resistance. The experiment was carried out on 681 subjects. For the development of resistance, the independent variable was implemented in the subjects of the experimental sample. All subjects were predictive and summative in the 10 samples: three motor samples, three functional samples and four somatic samples. The specific methods used in the experiment for the development of resistance were based on uniform efforts, varying intervals and efforts, with appropriate dosages leading to progress. In the final evaluation, the subjects of the experimental sample and of the reference sample progressed towards the predictive assessment, but those of the experimental sample progressed more than the subjects of the reference sample to all the samples and tests given. The effectiveness of implementing the independent experimental variable in the experimental sample subjects was 61% compared to the subjects of the reference sample. In the experiment, we used the statistical-mathematical method using arithmetic mean, median, modulus, standard deviation, amplitude, mean error, variability coefficient, Student test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Epsilon test and Z test. Higher progress in the subjects of the experimental sample. The difference between the mean of the experimental sample and the reference sample was significant at the significance threshold p <0, 05, with a probability of 95%. The value of the Pearson correlation coefficient is very high (between 0.9 and 1) to 83.33% of high cases (between 0.7 and 0.9) to 13.88% and mean (between 0.5 and 0, 7) in 2.79% of cases, meaning that the results obtained at each sample are significant. The progress of the subjects in the experimental sample was superior to the progress of the reference sample, so we can state that the dependent variable is significant, the assumptions of the research are verified and validated.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengaruh pada dimensi sibling relationship (warmth, relative power, conflict dan rivalry) terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis korelasional. Sampel yaitu 356 peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat (132 laki-laki dan 224 perempuan), usia 15-17 tahun, memiliki saudara kandung. Penentuan sampel menggunakan teknik multistage random sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan angket adaptasi, Sibling Relatonship Questionnaire (SRQ) yang disusun oleh Furman dan Buhrmester (1990) sebanyak 48 item dan Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) milik Ryff (1989) sebanyak 84 item. Uji validitas menggunakan expert judgement dan uji coba instrumen dengan rumus Person’s Product Moment. Uji reliabilitas menggunakan rumus Alpha Cronbach dengan SPSS v.25, diperoleh koefisien reliabilitas SRQ sebesar 0,916 dan SPWB sebesar 0,669. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Pearson’s Product Moment dan hipotesisnya diuji dengan One-Way ANOVA menggunakan program SPSS v.25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi warmth berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,178 > 0,05), dimensi relative power berpengaruh secara positif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (0,109 > 0,05), dimensi conflict berpengaruh secara negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,105 > 0,05) dan dimensi rivalry memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik (-0,114 > 0,05). Hasil uji hipotesis ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa Fhitung > Ftabel atau 4,786 > 2,39, dengan demikian sibling relationship secara keseluruhan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat. Namun, berdasarkan hasil Pearson Correlation dibandingkan dengan tabel koefisien korelasi, didapati bahwa pengaruh yang terjadi dari masing-masing dimensi pada sibling relationship terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik sangat rendah. Uji Tukey HSD juga menunjukkan bahwa hanya dimensi rivalry yang memiliki pengaruh berbeda dengan ketiga dimensi lainnya (warmth, relative power, conflict) terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis peserta didik SMA Negeri di Jakarta Barat.   This study aims to determine the difference in affect of dimensions of sibling relationship (warmth, relative power, conflict and rivalry) on psychological well-being in senior high school students at West Jakarta. Suggestions used in this research are quantitative with correlational type. The samples were 356 high school students at West Jakarta (132 males and 224 females), age 15-17, has sibling. Determination of the sample multistage random sampling technique. Data collected by forms of an questionnaire which adapted, that is Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (SRQ) organized by Furman and Buhrmester (1990) amount 48 items, and Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) by Ryff (1989) amount 84 items. Validity test uses expert judgement and instrument testing with the Pearson’s Product Moment. Realibility test using the Cronbach Alpha with SPSS v.25 obtained the reliability coefficient SRQ is 0,916 and SPWB is 0.669. Data analyzed using Pearson’s Product Moment and the hypothesis was tested by One-Way ANOVA with SPSS v.25. The results showed that warmth dimension had a positive effect on psychological well-being of students (0,178 > 0,05), relative power dimension had a positive effect on psychological well-being of students (0,109 > 0,05), conflict dimension had a negative effect on psychological well-being of students (- 0,105 > 0,05), and rivalry dimension had a negative effect on psychological well-being of students (-0,114 > 0,05). Hypothesis test by ANOVA results that Fcount > Ftable or 4,786 > 2,39, means sibling relationship has a different effect on psychological well-being in senior high school students at West Jakarta. However, based on the results of Pearson Correlation compared to the correlational coefficient table, was found that the effect of each diomension of sibling relationship on psychological well-being of students was very low. Tukey HSD test also shows that only rivalry dimension has a different effect from the other three dimensions (warmth, relative power, conflict) on psychlogicall well-being in senior high school students at West Jakarta.

Introduction. Epilepsy continues to increase worldwide but, unfortunately, many high school students have inadequate knowledge of and negative beliefs towards the disease. We aimed to assess the knowledge, beliefs, and practices of epilepsy among high school students of Central Nepal. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed involving 1360 high school students from 33 private schools across Bharatpur, from June 2013 to July 2013, to assess their knowledge, beliefs, and practices (KBP) on epilepsy using a standardized questionnaire. The differences in mean KBP scores between different sexes, religions, and those personally knowing versus not knowing someone with epilepsy were assessed using independent t-tests; a Pearson correlation was calculated to assess the relationship between KBP scores and age. Results. Of 1360 participants, 79 (5.8%) students had never heard or read about epilepsy and were consequently excluded from statistical analysis. Only 261 out of 1360 (19.2%) had personally known someone with epilepsy. The mean KBP scores were 5.0/8, 7.4/12, and 1.7/3, respectively. Statistically significant differences were only observed in the knowledge component of the KBP score; female scored higher than males (p<0.001) and, interestingly, students who had personally known a person with epilepsy actually knew less than those who had not known one (p=0.018). We also found a significant negative correlation between knowledge and age (p=0.003). Conclusions. The overall knowledge, beliefs, and practices appear to be inadequate, emphasizing the need for further educational intervention.

The Relationship

The health benefits of physical activity are empirically supported and well accepted. However, the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness, and academic performance remains to be clearly established. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement among a sample of Illinois high school students. Analyses were based on the 2016–2017 school year Archival Fitnessgram physical fitness test scores and cumulative GPAs of ninth- through twelfth-grade students (N = 371). Pearson correlation assessed the relationship between physical fitness and academic performance. Multiple linear regression predicted students’ academic achievement. There was a positive association between total fitness and academic achievement, although not statistically significant, r (369) = .002, p = .49. The regression prediction model was statistically significant (p < .001) and accounted for approximately 25% of the variance in academic achievement (R2 = .256, adjusted R2 = .246). Academic achievement was predicted by total number of absences and gender, and to a lesser extent by socio­economic status, the curl-up, and ethnicity. The findings of this study suggest a positive association between physical fitness and academic achievement. These results are potentially relevant to the development of future education policies. Thus, policy makers, school administrators, and educators must use the knowledge gained in this study, along with existing research, as evidence to emphasize the importance of the fitness–academic link, to further support the need for quality physical education curriculum and mandated physical fitness testing.
