Reading of today Russian adolescents in the context of digital reality

Reading of literature is important type of activity contributed to the formation of identity and worldview. Reading for teenagers has become an optional activity, perceived as the leisure, preference is given to watching TV, computer games, social networks and etс. These changes are principally related to the processes taking place in modern society, including the increasing representation of digital technologies in the life of adolescents. Psychological study showed that in the structure of reading motivation of today adolescents can be distinguished: benefit motive, entertainment motive, escapism motive, personal motive, compulsion motive, social motive. At the same time, more than a third of adolescents do not have any formed reading motivation, and prevail motives for reading are external motives: benefit motives, entertainment and compulsion motives. The age dynamic and gender differences can be traced. Sociological surveys show that the reading circle of adolescents consists of printed and electronic books and periodicals. The proportions change towards the preference for electronic reading. Despite the fact that the Internet has increased the intensity of teenagers reading, they read not only e-books, but also news, encyclopedias, humorous sites, publications about celebrities and music portals. Thus, digitalization increases the volume of reading, but decreases its quality.

Generationsanklager – konflikt, følelser og ungdomsaktivisme

Compared to rhetorical defenses the rhetoric of accusations has not garnered much attention from rhetorical critics over time. Two common threads in existing approaches to accusatory rhetoric are a link to an underlying affirmative motive and a view of accusations as a rhetorical genre. However, these threads have not been fully developed so far. This article takes its point of departure in Carolyn Millers rhetorical theory of genre and Celeste Michelle Condit’s work with angry public rhetorics in order to reveal the social motive of the accusatory genre. The argument here is that the main motive can be found in a desire for corrective action, but is further supported by a definitory and moral motive. This is then used as a basis for treating generational accusations as a specific form of accusation as well as analyzing it in relation to Greta Thunberg’s rhetorical accusations of older generations in the climate change debate

A Comparison of Motives by Gender and Age Categories for Training at Norwegian Fitness Centres

Examining participatory motives clarifies what engages and keeps individuals participating in exercise. The popularity of training at fitness centres has greatly increased over the last two decades, but individual determinants for motivation remain uncertain. This study compared motives between gender and age categories in training and performing physical activity at Norwegian fitness centres. To compare motives, a survey utilising a standardised questionnaire (MPAM-R) was conducted at six different Norwegian fitness centres. It was hypothesised that the intrinsic motive socialisation and extrinsic motive fitness would be more important among the older age categories for both genders, while the extrinsic motive appearance and intrinsic motive enjoyment would be more important among younger age groups. A total response of 183 men and 150 women, aged 14–80 years, was divided into seven categories based on their age and included in the statistical analysis. The main findings after conducting a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures, were that the most important motive for training at fitness centres was increasing fitness, followed by enjoyment, competence, vitality and appearance. The social motive was rated the lowest. Women rated fitness and enjoyment higher compared to men, and men rated the motive for appearance higher than women, but this decreased with age in both genders. With increasing age, the importance of enjoyment and competence decreased in men, while women seemed to place increased importance on vitality with age. The importance of the social motive decreased first as age increased, but then increased again in the age group 41–50 years and older. It was concluded that the motives for participating in exercise at fitness centres was dependent on individual characteristics and that motives about training at fitness centres differed by gender and changed with age.

Be Aware of Burnout! The Role of Changes in Academic Burnout in Problematic Facebook Usage among University Students

Most previous research has examined the relationship between FB addiction and burnout level by conducting cross-sectional studies. Little is known about the impact of changes in burnout on FB addiction in an educational context. Through a two-way longitudinal survey of a student population sample (N = 115), this study examined the influence of changes in academic burnout over time and FB motives and importance (measured at the beginning and the end of the semester) on FB intrusion measured at the end of the academic semester. The findings show that: (1) increases in cynicism and in FB motives and importance significantly predicted time2 FB intrusion; (2) FB importance enhanced the prediction power of changes in the academic burnout total score, exhaustion and personal inefficacy, and reduced the regression coefficient of changes in cynicism; (3) the interaction effects between FB social motive use and changes in academic burnout, as well as between FB importance and personal inefficacy and exhaustion, accounted for a significant change in the explained variance of time2 FB intrusion. About 20–30% of the variance in time2 FB intrusion was explained by all the examined variables and by the interactions between them. The results suggest that changes in academic burnout and FB motives and importance are suppressive variables, as including these variables in the regression model all together changed the significance of the relationship between independent variables and FB intrusion.

NATIONAL-MYTHOLOGICAL PICTURE OF THE WORLD IN THE POEMS OF K. IVANOV “NARSPI” AND S. YESENIN “ANNA SNEGINA”

Статья посвящена исследованию поэм К. Иванова «Нарспи» и С. Есенина «Анна Снегина» с точки зрения особенностей национальной модели мира и человека. Своеобразие данных произведений видится в экзистенциальном ракурсе восприятия событий, но при этом каждый из героев выступает прежде всего как носитель своей национальной стихии. В поэмах в центре внимания - семья, деревенский уклад жизни со своими радостями и проблемами, где лад крестьянской жизни связан с национальными образами. Главными героинями являются молодые женщины - Нарспи, Анна, в судьбах которых высвечивается трагическое начало. Однако в поэме С. Есенина образы крестьян, лирического героя, Анны воспринимаются сквозь призму конкретно-исторических событий - революции, гражданской войны, в то время как мир поэмы К. Иванова дан вне конкретно-исторической реальности, что высвечивает мифологическую составляющую картины мира. Обе эти книги построены на хронотопе дороги, особое семантическое значение придается поэтике цвета, звука и света, архетипу круга. Поэму «Нарспи» отличает бинарная картина мира, оппозиция «сад - лес» является значимой. События в поэмах возводятся к классическому мифу об уходе и возвращении, а социальный мотив разрушения старого мира во имя нового рассматривается как мифологический. Сравнительно-сопоставительный аспект исследования позволил выявить общие черты и неповторимые особенности национального мировидения и миропонимания. The article is devoted to the study of the poems of K. Ivanov “Narspi” and S. Yesenin “Anna Snegina” from the point of view of the peculiarities of the national model of the world and man. The originality of the poems is seen in the existential perspective of the perception of events, but each of the characters acts primarily as a carrier of the national element. In the poems, the focus is on the family, the village way of life with holidays, joys and problems, where the harmony of peasant life is connected with national images. The main characters are young women: Narspi and Anna, whose fates are characterized by the tragic beginning. However, the images of peasants, the lyrical hero, Anna are perceived through the prism of specific historical events - the revolution, the civil war in the poem by S. Yesenin, while the world of the poem by K. Ivanov is given outside of concrete historical reality, which highlights the mythological component of the picture of the world. The poems are based on the chronotope of the road, with a special semantic meaning attached to the poetics of color, sound and light, the archetype of the circle. The poem “Narspi” is distinguished by a binary picture of the world, the opposition “garden-forest” is significant there. The events in the poems are raised to the classic myth of departure and return, and the social motive of destroying the old world in the name of the new is considered as mythological. The comparative aspect of the study allowed us to identify common and unique features of the national worldview and worldview.
