Association between sexually explicit messages and sleep health among French sexual minority men

It has been demonstrated that sexual minority men (SMM) participate in sexting. While research has shown that engagement in the exchange of sexually explicit media is associated with poor health outcomes, no previous research has investigated its association with sleep health outcomes. This study sought to examine the association between sexually explicit media and sleep health among SMM, a population that suffers from poor sleep health. A popular geosocial networking application was used to recruit SMM individuals (N?=?580) in the Paris, France, metropolitan area. Multivariate analyses, adjusting for sociodemographics, were used to test the association between the frequency of sexually explicit messaging and three dimensions of sleep health: (1) sleep quality, (2) sleep duration, and (3) two aspects of sleep problems. In multivariate analyses, those who reported engaging in sexually explicit messaging more were more likely to report getting less than seven?hours of sleep (aRR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.08, 1.43) compared with those who reported engaging in sexually explicit messaging less. No significant associations were found between sexting and sleep quality or reporting sleep problems. Sexually explicit messaging was associated with shorter sleep duration. Intervention targeted at individuals who sext could potentially improve sleep health outcomes.     

Body esteem and self-esteem in middle-aged women

The aims of the study were (a) to identify predictors of body esteem and (b) to expand on previous research by examining the link between global self-esteem and body esteem in a community-based sample of women in midlife. We found that body esteem in midlife women was predicted by body mass index (BMI), optimism, self-esteem, and menopausal symptoms. Although BMI was the main predictor of body esteem in middle-aged women, global self-esteem was more strongly related to feelings about appearance and physical condition than feelings about body size.

Life Satisfaction,Self-Esteem,and Loneliness Among LGB Adults and Heterosexual Adults in China

ABSTRACT

Low levels of life satisfaction have been linked to low self-esteem and loneliness, but this association has never been tested directly in LGB (lesbian/gay/bisexual) populations. We compared 275 Chinese LGB adults to 275 demographic-matched Chinese heterosexual controls on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and loneliness. LGB adults reported lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of loneliness than heterosexuals, but similar levels of overall life satisfaction. Self-esteem partially mediated (but did not moderate) the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction in both groups. Hierarchical regressions indicated that demographic variables, loneliness, and self-esteem can predict life satisfaction in both LGB and heterosexual adults, but explained more variance of life satisfaction in the LGB group. Thus self-esteem and loneliness play a more important role in life satisfaction for LGB rather than heterosexual Chinese adults.     

The Impact of Social Connectedness and Internalized Transphobic Stigma on Self-Esteem Among Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Adults

The transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) community continues to represent a notably marginalized population exposed to pervasive discrimination, microaggressions, and victimization. Congruent with the minority stress model, TGNC individuals persistently experience barriers to wellbeing in contemporary society; however, research uncovering resilience-based pathways to health among this population is sparse. This study aimed to explore the impact and interaction between internalized transphobic stigma and a potential buffer against minority stress—social connectedness—on the self-esteem of TGNC identified adults. Data were collected from 65 TGNC identified adults during a national transgender conference. Multiple regression analysis reveals that self-esteem is negatively impacted by internalized transphobia and positively impacted by social connectedness. Social connectedness did not significantly moderate the relationship between internalized transphobia and self-esteem. Micro and macro interventions aimed at increasing social connectedness and decreasing internalized transphobic stigma may be paramount for enhancing resiliency and wellbeing in the TGNC community.     

探索隐性知识在语言学习早期的重要性

作为一门学科,语言长期给人一种迷茫。不进学校,人们自然会讲母语;进了学校,人们也不一定会讲外语。其实,该问题的关键是人们没有搞清楚语言的二重性或二种知识：显性知识（有关语言的知识）和隐性知识（语言自身）。围绕这一现象,本文从理论和实践上对这两种知识在语言学习过程中的影响和作用作了一定的阐述与论证。指出要让学生掌握语言,教师必须充分认识语言的基本特征和语言隐性知识的重要性,用隐形学习的方式来开拓学生的隐性语法和隐形记忆的能力,以正真掌握语言。     

高自尊的异质性对社会心理健康的影响

为了探讨高自尊的异质性（权变性和防御性）对个体社会心理健康的影响,采用Rosenberg自尊量表、权变性自尊量表、社会期望量表与社会心理健康问卷等方法对293名大学生施测。结果为高低自尊者在社会心理健康的各维度上都存在显著差异（P〈.001）;高自尊的权变性和防御性都是攻击性的重要预测因素,高自尊的防御性能有效预测生活满意度和消极情感。因此,自尊不只存在水平高低之分,全面理解自尊需要考虑自尊的其他特性。     

大学生的自尊水平、内外控与童年遭受体罚的关系

该研究从自尊水平、内外控两个角度入手,探讨它们与童年遭受体罚之间的关系。采用儿时管教史问卷中的体罚分量表（Berger,1988）、自尊量表（Rosenberg,1965）、内在一外在心理控制源量表（Rotter,1966）对山东师范大学330名在校大学生进行随机整群问卷调查,数据处理采用卡方检验、方差分析和相关分析等统计方法。研究结果表明：（1）大学生在童年时期普遍遭受过父母的体罚,且不存在性别与家庭所在地等方面的显著差异。（2）大学生的自尊水平在性别与家庭所在地等方面不存在统计学上的显著差异;大学生的内外控存在性别差异,女生比男生更倾向于内控,而不存在家庭所在地方面的差异。（3）童年时期遭受的体罚与大学生的自尊水平与内外控都不存在显著相关。（4）自尊水平与内外控呈现显著的负相关,即自尊水平得分越高,内外控得分越低,即越倾向于内控。     

论说文批判性思维显性教学与隐性教学之比较

批判性思维教学与具体学科的融合已成为研究焦点。论文旨在探讨批判性思维显性教学法与隐性教学法在提高学生论辩思维能力上是否存在差异。研究方法是对英语专业四年级两个班分别进行的为期18周的批判性思维写作能力和评价能力干预实验研究效果进行评价。研究结果表明:第一,显性教学法和隐性教学法在提高学生论说文写作水平上均有明显效果,无显著差异;第二,显性教学法和隐性教学法在提高批判性思维评价能力上也都有明显效果,但存在显著差异,显性教学法更具优势;第三,如何帮助学生更好地实现论辩思维能力向其他学习环境和日常生活环境的迁移
