A study on master¡¦s students¡¦ life stress, coping strategies and mental health in TaiwanHuang, Hsiao-wei 13 September 2006 (has links)
The purposes of this study were (a) to assess the life stress, coping strategies and mental health of master¡¦s students in Taiwan (b) to compare the three factors for master¡¦s students with different backgrounds (c) to explore the correlation among the three factors (d) to find out how students¡¦ background information, life stress and coping strategies predict their mental health.
¡§Master¡¦s students¡¦ life stress, coping strategies and mental health questionnaire¡¨ was applied in the study. The subjects were 2,515 master¡¦s students in Taiwan. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and stepwise regression analysis. Besides, interviews were used to verify results of the quantity analysis.
According to the results, conclusions were as follows:
1.The life stress of master¡¦s students was moderate, and ¡§study stress¡¨ was the highest life stress. Besides, the life stress related to various identification, marital status, academy, and age.
2.The frequency of coping strategies of master¡¦s students was between ¡§sometimes¡¨ and ¡§often¡¨, and most students used ¡§solving problems¡¨ strategy to deal with stressful problems and situations. Besides, the coping strategies related to various gender, academy, university type, area.
3.There are forty percent master¡¦s students with bad mental health, and ¡§anxiety and worrying¡¨ was the worst part of students¡¦ mental health. Besides, the mental health related to various gender, marital status, academy, grade, and age.
4.There were significant correlation among master¡¦s students¡¦ life stress, coping strategies, and mental health.
5.The background information, life stress and coping strategies of master¡¦s students could predict their mental health effectively.

An Empirical Study of Computer Anxiety, Computer Self-Efficacy, computer copying strategies and computer literacy in Elementary and Junior High School TeachersHsieh, Ching-Hwei 28 June 2001 (has links)
Abstract
The aim of this study is first to present the current situation in computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, computer coping strategy and computer literacy in elementary and junior high school teachers, then to observe the variance resulting from teachers having different backgrounds, and finally to explore the relationships among the four factors.
The subjects in this study are 452 elementary and junior high school teachers from Taipei city/county and Kaohsiung city/county, including 318 female and 134 male teachers. ¡§Computer literacy scale,¡¨ ¡§computer self-efficacy scale,¡¨ ¡§computer coping strategy scale,¡¨ and ¡§computer anxiety scale¡¨ are adopted as methods of analysis in this study. Data analysis are carried out by mean, standard deviation, t-test, Hotelling¡¦s , one-way ANOVA, multivariate analysis of variance, stepwise multiple regression, correlation and discriminant analysis.
The findings can be summarized as follows:
1.In terms of the variables: personal background, factors of gender, age, degree(s) achieved, field of study, availability of computers, frequency and amount of computer use per week, and out-dated computer hardware tend to make subjects experience high computer anxiety and/or low computer self-efficacy. For example, an experienced female teacher with a B.A. degree in history had little contact with computers leading her to become anxious about computer use and poor on computer self-efficacy.
2.As for performance in computer coping strategy and computer literacy; they are related to teachers¡¦ competence in computer self-efficacy and computer anxiety. Teachers with high computer anxiety tend to show frequent avoidance of computer use and poor coping strategies in problem solving, support seeking, and self-adjustment, and a shallow understanding of computers and computer-assisted instruction.
3.The dominance of computer coping strategy and computer literacy over the degree of computer anxiety and computer self-efficacy can be validated with the validity of 60% above.
4.For elementary and junior high school teachers, their computer anxiety, computer self-efficacy, and computer coping strategy are significantly related to their computer literacy.
5.Teachers¡¦ computer self-efficacy, and computer coping strategy in solving problems and seeking support are implications for performance in computer literacy.
Based on the conclusion of this study, some suggestions are made for future study:
In terms of teachers¡¦ computer competence
1.Familiarity with computers can reduce teachers¡¦ computer anxiety
2.Positive experiences in computer use will enhance teachers¡¦ computer self-efficacy
3.Proper guidance given to teachers aids their computer coping strategy
4.Assistance provided builds teachers¡¦ confidence and application ability in computer-based instruction.
5.Requirements of teachers can be satisfied with related computer conferences and workshops.
Regarding future study
1.Scope of subjects can be enlarged.
2.Variables in computer competence and performance can be added.
3.Tools of analysis can be improved.
4.Quantity and quality of the methodology should carry the same weight.

Previous issue date: 2012-06-27 / Argumentando-se que as Tecnologias da Informação Móveis e Sem Fio (TIMS) vêm ocupando um espaço, cada vez maior, na vida dos indivíduos, e que, em função desta proximidade, novas formas de interação aparecem, este trabalho procurou aprofundar a relação entre Smartphones e Gênero. Fundamentado em abordagens teóricas relativas à existência de paradoxos associados ao uso de artefatos tecnológicos e às copying strategies adotadas pelos usuários, este estudo procurou identificar a existência e a intensidade de paradoxos associados ao uso diário de smartphones por executivos brasileiros, de ambos os sexos. O trabalho também procurou avaliar a forma como os executivos lidam com as possíveis ambiguidades vivenciadas em seus dia-a-dia. O método de estudo de caso múltiplo, cujos executivos eram as unidades de análise, foi aplicado junto a executivos mulheres e homens, usuários constantes da tecnologia smartphone e ocupantes de cargos de médio e alto escalão em grandes empresas brasileiras. A partir de um método de coleta misto – questionários, diários de uso e entrevistas em profundidade –, o trabalho teve o objetivo de aprofundar e refinar os estudos sobre paradoxos tecnológicos, bem como iniciar análises quanto à relação do gênero e esses mesmos paradoxos. Após a consolidação e análise dos dados obtidos, verificou-se que apenas parte dos 14 paradoxos tecnológicos apresentados por Mick e Fournier (1998), Jarvenppa e Lang (2005) e Mazmanin et al. (2006) foram associados à interação entre executivos e smartphones. Dos 6 paradoxos identificados, 2 foram exclusivamente relacionados às mulheres, sugerindo que as executivas percebem e vivenciam os paradoxos com mais intensidade do que seus pares masculinos. Os dados também revelaram que diantes das ambiguidades, os executivos mulheres e homens procuram adotar estratégias de enfrentamento, tentando desenvolver um relacionamento positivo e de parceria com seus artefatos. Ao final, as conclusões e implicações deste estudo são detalhadamente apresentadas. / Considering that the Wireless and Mobile Information Technology have been occupying a crescent space in our lives, changing the way how we use it, this study sought to deepen the relationship between smartphones and gender. Based on theoretical approaches regarding the paradoxes associated with the use of technological artfacts and copying strategies adopted by users, this study intended to identify the existence and intensity of paradoxes associated with the daily use of smartphones by Brazilian executives of both genders. The study also aimed to assess how managers deal with the possible ambiguities experienced in their day-to-day. From a mixed collection method - questionnaires, daily use and in-depth interviews - the work was intended to deepen and refine the study of technology paradoxes and begin analysis on the relationship between gender and such paradoxes. After consolidation and data analysis, it was found that only some of the 14 technology paradoxes provided by Mick and Fournier (1998), Jarvenppa and Lang (2005) and Mazmanin et al. (2006) were associated with the interaction between managers and smartphones. Of the six paradoxes identified, two were exclusively related to women, suggesting that executives perceive and experience the paradoxes with more intensity than their male counterparts. The data also revealed that in touch with the ambiguities, both executives looking to adopt coping strategies, trying to develop a positive relationship and partnership with its artifacts. Finally, the conclusions and implications of this study are presented in detail.
