A STUDY ON EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL TRANSITION IN EARLY ADULTHOOD

This paper is about the social and emotional transition during the early adulthood an individual go to which they are not prepared and hence end up with depression.

Contextual Emotion Appraisal Based on a Sentential Cognitive System for Robots

Emotion plays a powerful role in human interaction with robots. In order to express more human-friendly emotions, robots need the capability of contextual appraisal that expresses the emotional relevance of various targets in the spatiotemporal situation. In this paper, an emotional appraisal methodology is proposed to cope with such contexts. Specifically, the Ortony, Clore, and Collins model is abstracted and simplified to approximate an emotional appraisal model in the form of a sentence-based cognitive system. The contextual emotion appraisal is modeled by formulating the emotional relationships among multiple targets and the emotional transition with events and time passing. To verify the proposed robotic system’s feasibility, simulations were conducted for scenarios where it interacts with humans manipulating liked or disliked objects on a table. This experiment demonstrated that the robot’s emotion could change over time like humans by using a proposed formula for emotional valence, which is moderated by emotion appraisal of occurring events.

Emotional Transition in Social Movements. The PAH Case

We find that some fractured societies, in grappling with Neo-Liberalism as a political project, embark on an emotional transition to win hearts and minds for new, fairer policies to tackle inequalities.Thus, there are ’affective spaces’ facilitating this emotional transition, thereby allowing the building of collective action. For these spaces to work well, they must be configured as chains of interactionrituals, which use emotional transformation to drive social change.This paper is based on a documental analysis and an ethnographic study carried out between 2013 and 2018 in several assemblies of and actions taken by the PAH (a platform for those affected by home foreclosure) in several Catalan municipalities. It was conducted by participatory observation, focus groups and in-depth interviews with activists.

New Graduate Nurse Transition Into the Intensive Care Unit: Qualitative Insights From a Longitudinal Study—Part 1

Background and PurposePatients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are critically ill and suffer from life-threatening sickness of injury. To work in ICU, registered nurses require additional knowledge and skills. While practices regarding the hire of new graduate nurses (NGNs) into settings such as the ICU vary, it is common that NGNs are being hired. However, NGNs in general, are at a higher risk for turnover within the profession as compared to their more experienced colleagues. NGNs in ICU settings may be at higher risk of turnover due to the complexity of the care context. It is of particular importance that the experiences of NGNs in ICU be explored with the intent of identifying what these nurses experience but also to consider how they can be best supported during a period of transition. This manuscript reports the findings from a mixed design study that sought to understand the transition of a cohort of NGNs over a period of 2 years.MethodsThis study used both a purposive and convenience sample of NGNs. The qualitative component incorporated Thorne's (2016) interpretive description. Face-to-faceinterviews were completed.ResultsFive themes were identified: an emotional transition, a social transition, a transitioning mindset, transitioning through firsts, and transitioning with confidence. Within each theme, there is a distinct difference and elements of transition were evident. Findings demonstrate that the NGNs appeared to be more confident in their skills and in their nursing practice over time. Findings from this study provide important insight into the experiences of NGNs in ICUs.
