Academic interventions for academic procrastination: A review of the literature

ABSTRACT

Procrastination is a widespread phenomenon in academic settings. It has been studied from many different theoretical angles, and a variety of causes and consequences have been suggested. Recent studies support the notion that academic procrastination can be seen from a situational perspective and as a failure in learning self-regulation. It suggests that interventions should address situational as well as deficits in self-regulation to help students overcome their procrastinating tendencies. The present review examined the recent literature on causes and consequences of academic procrastination and the limited number of studies of academic interventions for academic procrastination. Findings of this review strengthen the need to further study the topic of academic interventions for academic procrastination and to develop effective interventions. At the end of this review, several suggestions for the development of academic interventions are outlined.     

青年农民工就业质量问题的研究进展

有关就业质量问题的研究综述表明,虽然青年农民工已成为城市不可或缺的就业主体之一,但是其就业质量问题往往被数量问题所掩盖,没有得到学界应有的关注。因此,在当前就业压力异常严峻的新形势下,不仅迫切需要深化对青年农民工就业行为与过程的研究,而且需要对青年农民工就业质量的基本状况及影响因素展开更加深入的探讨。     

台湾劳资关系调节“失灵”与发展的制度出路

台湾劳资关系是观测台湾基层社会关系状况的重要指标，集中反映了台湾基层社会矛盾和集体 行动的发展动向和态势。近年台湾劳工阶层普遍处于“长工时、低薪酬、少休假”的低水平劳权状态，在民进 党上台后推行的“一例一休”修法改革激化下，劳资关系调节的劳动法律调节机制、劳资谈判机制和政党调节 机制三个层面都出现了“失灵”现象，反映了劳工阶层不满台湾当下经济发展困境的阶层意识，又映射了台湾 资本主义在复杂变迁的国际政治格局中的发展局限，同时也为台湾劳工阶层从政治赋权、集体博弈和青年劳工 群体整合等层面来改善自身权利与命运带来了机遇和制度出路。     

生命叙事在道德教育中的应用

生命叙事是一种古老而又充满活力的道德教育方式,它具有自我性、日常生活性和生成性的特点。它产生教育作用的内在机制在于:叙事过程中故事本身内在的教育价值,道德学习的特点。教师在道德教育中采用生命叙事应注意如何选择故事及叙事“视点”和方式。

从约会到同居:“他的”和“她的”同居决策比较--基于“90后”流动青年同居者的质性研究

未婚同居现象在中国日趋增多,但对于年轻人如何从约会发展到同居、性别是否以及怎样影响同居的动机与意义还缺乏研究。本文通过对94名正在同居和近期经历同居的"90后"乡-城流动青年的深入访谈,从性别视角探讨了影响年轻人从恋爱交往向同居转变的因素。研究发现,流动青年受访者的同居,无论男女大部分发生在有结婚意图甚至是订婚之后,但在同居决定如何受结婚目标推动上出现了明显的性别特征,女性更多地因道德规范压力,男性更多地出于经济和时间成本。同时,一些流动青年的同居决策也受到现实因素的影响,如为了相处或居住上的便利以及意外怀孕的发生,往往会推动男女加快向同居的转变;经济层面的考虑对同居决定的影响则因性别而异,女性更有可能出于经济需要而加快同居,而男性更多地因经济紧张而推迟同居。总之,传统性别文化规范和农村婚姻市场变动延伸到同居,并影响流动青年男女的同居决策。     

Psychosocial comparison of carers and noncarers

Abstract

Limited exploration of young carers’ (YCs) impacts includes noncaregivers, thus reducing our understanding of YCs’ unique characteristics. Secondary comparative analyses of 124 YCs (n?=?72 females, Mage?=?12) and 124 noncarers were conducted to examine family, individual, and social contexts. Statistical analyses revealed YCs were different from non-YCs, suggesting caregiving could be a contributing factor in altering temperament and family dynamics as well as lowering self-esteem and raising the incidence of depressive symptoms. A comprehensive YC profile resulted from the findings. This profile may help promote identification and recognition of YCs.     

Relationships Between Discretionary Time Activities,Emotional Experiences,Delinquency and Depressive Symptoms Among Urban African American Adolescents

Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), this cross-sectional study examined mediated and moderated associations between different types of discretionary time activities and depressive symptoms and delinquency among a sample of 246 (107 boys, 139 girls) fifth through eighth grade urban African American adolescents. More time spent in passive unstructured activities was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms only for adolescents residing in less dangerous neighborhoods, whereas more time spent in active unstructured activities was associated with higher levels of delinquency only if adolescents resided in more dangerous neighborhoods. Alienation was positively associated with depressive symptoms and delinquency, but neither alienation nor positive affect mediated the relationship between activities and adjustment. These findings suggest the importance of considering neighborhood environment issues when determining what types of discretionary time activities are most beneficial for urban African American young adolescents.

Labour's Lost Youth: Young People and the Labour Party's Youth Sections

Falling levels of membership and activism are threatening the Labour Party's status as a mass party. This problem has to be seen in the context of growing disillusionment with formal politics in Britain, especially among young people. If Labour continues to fail in socialising future generations of members and activists into its mission, its fate will be sealed. This article examines Labour's relationship with young people, with particular attention to the organisation of the Party's youth sections. It utilises the results of original research into the attitudes of young members to diagnose the problem of young people in the Labour Party, and assesses the prospects of meaningful reform.
