abstract: The present study tested 1) whether children’s bedtimes, wake times, and sleep durations change as they transition into kindergarten (TtoK), 2) if changes to children’s sleep schedules were contingent on their pre-kindergarten (T1) napping status and if T1 bedtimes were related to fall (T2) and spring (T3) bedtimes and durations, and 3) whether T1 sleep, changes to sleep from T1 to T2, and concurrent sleep quality were related to academic achievement and participation in 51 kindergarteners. It was hypothesized that 1) wake times would be earlier and sleep duration would be shorter during kindergarten (T2 and T3) than at T1, 2) children who napped at T1 would go to bed later and have shorter sleep duration than their non-napping peers and T1 bedtimes would be positively associated with T2 and T3 bedtimes and negatively associated with T2 and T3 durations, and 3) more optimal sleep (e.g., consolidated, consistent, and high quality) would be positively related to academic achievement and participation. Parents reported on children’s bedtimes, wake times, and nap lengths during T1, T2, and T3. During T3 children wore actigraphs for five consecutive school nights and completed the Woodcock Johnson tests of achievement (WJ-III). Teachers also reported on children’s participation in the classroom during T3. Results demonstrated that bedtimes and wake times were earlier at T2 and T3 than T1. Duration was shorter at T2 and T3 than T1. Additionally, napping was unrelated to bedtimes and durations, but T1 bedtime was positively related to T2 and T3 bedtimes and negatively related to T2 and T3 durations. Finally, T1 nap length, change in bedtimes, and Actigraphy duration were negatively related to participation. Actigraphy onset variability was positively related to participation. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Family and Human Development 2015

In this light, the study aimed mainly analyze the student engagement in a group of student monitors in training belonging to the elementary school in a public school in the state of Ceara in carrying out educational activities with the support of social network Facebook. The research adopted a qualitative approach, based on the intervention research method. Following this premise, it created a project of intervention in pursuit of the application of this methodology with the proposed theme referred to the aspects of environmental sustainability and technology. The survey data were obtained through self-registration of the action of the students (views, likes, posts, shares, and comments) on the social network. The frequency of these actions was used as the behavioral engagement indicator, while the content of publications and comments were the basis for the understanding of cognitive engagement. The results showed the presence of behavioral engagement, given that there were often record the use of resources of the social network during the project. With regard to cognitive engagement, four subcategories were identified that typify the actions taken by students in the social network: engagement in the search for information and communication; reflection on the action; critical engagement and emancipatory engagement. The presence of these subcategories indicated that the participation of students went far beyond mere record of participation, but also presented for engagement with content and practices discussed in the implementation of the proposed activities. The results highlighted that social networks, a place that today is an evolution in relational forms of communication, seen as web content and knowledge can be used as a means of engagement of students and are inserted in the school routine. / Este estudo teve como principal campo de investigação o uso das redes sociais na escola como lugar de construção do engajamento discente. Os processos de inserção das tecnologias digitais na educação e os desafios que estão postos para a constituição desta cultura nas instituições de ensino nos leva a questionar saberes e práticas tradicionais na educação básica.

A frequência dessas ações foi usada como indicador do engajamento comportamental, enquanto o conteúdo das publicações e comentários serviram de base para a compreensão do engajamento cognitivo. Os resultados apontaram para a presença do engajamento comportamental, tendo em vista que houve registro de frequência na utilização dos recursos da rede social durante o projeto. No que se refere ao engajamento cognitivo, foram identificadas quatro subcategorias que tipificaram as ações realizadas pelos alunos na rede social: engajamento na busca da informação e comunicação; reflexão sobre a ação; engajamento crítico e engajamento emancipatório. A presença dessas subcategorias indicaram que o engajamento dos alunos foi muito além do mero registro de participação, mas apresentou-se também por um envolvimento com os conteúdos e práticas discutidas na execução das atividades propostas. Os resultados destacaram que as redes sociais, lugar que representa hoje uma evolução nas formas relacionais de comunicação, vista como teia de conteúdos e conhecimentos, podem ser utilizadas como meio de engajamento dos estudantes e estarem inseridas no cotidiano da escola.

Previous research suggests that attentional deficits could be the underlying cause of language impairments in people with aphasia (PWA) and that behavioral engagement ratings can be an accurate way to measure attention to specific tasks. Previous research also suggests that PWA have lower levels of behavioral engagement than neurologically healthy adults. Participants in the present study included 9 PWA and 18 neurologically healthy adults. This was an exploratory study investigating the relationships and differences between behavioral engagement and physiological measures, perceived arousal, and naming accuracy and response time in PWA and neurologically healthy adults. Participants completed a confrontational naming task while physiological measures (heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin conductance) were taken simultaneously. Subsequent video footage was used to rate participants' behavioral engagement (i.e., how engaged the participant was in the naming task). In general, PWA had lower behavioral engagement ratings of attention than neurotypical adults. Significant correlations were found between behavioral engagement ratings of attention, naming response time, and naming accuracy. No statistical significance was found between behavioral engagement ratings of attention and heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin conductance. Further research is needed to support these findings.

Klimatångest är ett växande fenomen. Olika faktorer kan antas påverka individers grad av klimatångest. Studien undersökte relationen mellan klimatångest och kön, ålder, locus of control samt grad av neuroticism. Detta skedde utifrån fyra hypoteser och två frågeställningar. Sammanlagt deltog 112 respondenter, varav 74 kvinnor. De besvarade en enkät bestående av Rotters Internal-External scale, Clayton och Karazsias klimatångestskala samt delen i Shafers Big Five Marker scale som avser att mäta grad av neuroticism. Materialet undersöktes med korrelationer samt en regressionsanalys. Resultatet från studien påvisade att graden av klimatångest hos respondenterna generellt var låg, kvinnor har mer klimatångest än män och personer med högre grad av neuroticism har högre grad av klimatångest. Beteendemässigt engagemang i klimatfrågan var en signifikant prediktor för klimatångest. Klimatångest kan således vara gynnsamt i viss mån då det tycks korrelera med adaptiva beteenden som kan reducera klimatpåverkan.

Although the commercially-popular construct of employee engagement has gained attention in scholarly work in recent years, several questions about the construct remain unresolved. In the current paper, I addressed several issues with previous engagement research by (a) meta-analyzing the relationship between employee engagement, task performance, contextual performance, absenteeism, and turnover, (b) using these meta-analytic estimates to fit a series of models in which engagement predicts both specific and broadly-defined work behaviors, and (c) estimating the unique predictive validity of engagement above and beyond job attitudes. Several regression equations and structural equation models were tested using a combination of previous meta-analytic correlations (k = 95) and original meta-analytic correlations (k = 12). Results of the study found that engagement does offer unique incremental validity over several work-related behaviors (task performance, ∆R2 = .037; contextual performance, ∆R2 = .025; turnover, ∆R2 = .083), however this incremental validity has been over-stated in previous research. Results also found that the A-factor (higher order attitudinal construct) is strongly related to behavioral engagement (higher order behavioral construct) (Γ = .62) suggesting that when attitudes and behaviors are examined on the same level of specificity there is a strong predictive relationship between the two. These results suggest that although engagement may not be as unique as previous research has implied it does offer utility in the sense that it acts as a proxy for the A-factor

Studien syftar till att undersöka engagemang i ett online brand community (OBC) för att få en djupare förståelse för medlemmars engagemang i Sverige. Empirin samlades in genom en kvalitativ metod bestående av 13 semistrukturerade intervjuer med aktiva medlemmar. För att analysera empirin utgår studien från tre engagemangsdimensioner: affektivt, kognitivt och beteendemässigt engagemang. Resultatet visade hur aktiva medlemmars engagemang i OBC framkom genom en upplevd gemenskap, egennytta och vilja att tillgodose andra. Det framkom även att aktiva medlemmar har en betydande roll för interaktionen i OBC. Studien bidrar med en förståelse för medlemmars engagemang i ett svenskt OBC. / The study aims to investigate engagement in an online brand community (OBC) to gain a deeper understanding of members' engagement in Sweden. The empirical data was collected through a qualitative method consisting of 13 semi-structured interviews with active members. To analyze the empirical data, the study is based on three dimensions of engagement: affective, cognitive and behavioral engagement. The results showed how active members' engagement in OBC emerged through a perceived sense of community, self-interest and willingness to serve others. It also emerged that active members have a significant role in the interaction in OBC. The study contributes to an understanding of members' involvement in a Swedish OBC. This study is written in Swedish.

教師支持對學生需求滿足與學習投入之影響 - 以台灣地區高中學生為例 本研究之目的在探討在自我決定理論架構下，教師支持(teacher support)、心理需求(basic needs)，以及學習投入(learning engagement)三變項間的關係。本研究針對台灣地區共八所高中之高中學生為研究對象，進行問卷調查有效樣本為945人。針對研究工具進行探索性因素分析與驗證性因素分析，並以結構方程模式檢驗本研究之假設模式，研究結果如下。 教師支持與基本需求的關係方面，教師的自主支持(teacher autonomy support)可以顯著的預測能力需求的滿足與學習投入，此結果呈現了自主支持的教學在台灣地區高中情境的跨文化應用。其次，教師投入(teacher involvement)可顯著的預測關連性的需求滿足與學習投入，此結果說明了教師的關心與支持對高中學生的重要性。 再者，不同過去的研究結果，能力需求的滿足則負向的預測行為投入與情緒投入；此結果呈現了課堂情境因素的重要性，可能影響學生之上課投入情形的因素，包括教師的教學方法、教室目標結構，以及學生知覺課堂活動的挑戰性與重要性等。 最後，本研究也發現，教師支持中的結構（structure）對於自主需求(need of autonomy)有負向的影響，即學生對於自主的需求較高者，對於教師的結構性教學會有負向的回應，這也說明了學習者在需求滿足（我覺得）與需求（我想要）兩者上的差異。 本研究建議未來的研究進一步探討需求滿足與需求對於學習與教師知覺上的差異情形，並且針對教師結構之問卷進行本土化的概念建構，亦可進一步探討教師支持與需求滿足間的調節效果或針對這些變項進行長期的調查或課室觀察。 / The effect of Teacher Support on Basic Needs and Learning Engagement in Taiwanese high school context Abstract Based on self-determination theory, the relationships among teacher support, basic needs, and learning engagement were examined. With a total of nine hundred and forty five valid participants from eight Taiwanese high schools, structure equation modeling was used to explore the propose model. The main results of the present study are as follows: Teacher autonomy support was the most predictive variable in explaining both behavioral and emotional engagement, which indicated the cross-cultural application of autonomy-supportive teaching in high school context in a collectivistic country. Moreover, teacher involvement could significantly affect basic need of relatedness and learning engagement, which showed that teachers’ caring and understanding should not be ignored in high school context. Also, this study found the differences between need satisfaction and needs among learners, which leaded to distinct results in reacting to teaching behaviors. Additionally, different from previous studies, this study found that basic need of competence predicted negatively to learning engagement. The specific features of classroom goal structure or teaching methods in Taiwanese high school classrooms might be the plausible explanations.
