Young helpline callers and difference: exploring gender, ethnicity and sexuality in helpline access and provision

This article, which has its origin in a feasibility study carried out for three youth telephone helplines, focuses on gender, difference and helpline access by young people. During the research process the writers noted that for the three commissioning helplines, as is the case with the majority of other telephone helplines, approximately two‐thirds of callers are female. A helpline for young Muslims where the gender access ratio was 50/50 stood out as being different in this respect. Until recently, literature on gender and help‐seeking has tended towards making a blanket identification of males as experiencing difficulties in negotiating pathways to help. Although this difficulty of males is evident in relation to both help‐seeking and access to helplines, our study suggests that, at least in relation to helpline usage, when we take culture, ethnicity and sexuality into account, the help‐seeking situation may be more nuanced. This has implications in terms of enabling a cross‐section of young people to access helplines as well as with regard to helpline service development.     

加强青少年的网络道德教育

青少年网络道德失范行为时有发生,且表现形式多种多样;青少年网络道德失范与网络的特点、青少年自身的生理心理特点、所受的学校和家庭教育以及自身的道德素养等因素都有关系;加强青少年网络道德教育已是刻不容缓的大事,而且最根本的一点是通过多种方式不断提高青少年的道德自律能力.

家庭环境对幼儿学习品质发展的影响——基于34项实证研究的元分析

学习品质是帮助幼儿获得积极学业成就的内在机制,家庭环境是影响幼儿学习品质发展的重要因素。为了深入探究幼儿学习品质与家庭因素之间的关系,本研究运用CMA3.7软件对34项实证研究的相关文献进行元分析。研究结果显示,幼儿学习品质与家庭因素呈现显著正相关。不同学习品质纬度与家庭因素的相关程度存在差异。从高到低排序为：想象与创造、坚持与专注、反思与解释、主动性、好奇心与兴趣。具体而言,家庭经济条件、父母参与程度以及家庭投入与支持对幼儿学习品质发展有显著影响。此外,性别与年龄对幼儿学习品质不同纬度的发展水平具有显著调节效应。主要教育建议：家长应在幼儿学习品质发展的关键时期给予关注,重视与幼儿的亲子互动,提高家庭支持和投入力度,并根据幼儿的个性特点有针对性地培养,从而促进其学习品质均衡发展。     

青年社工的职业认同：内驱还是外驱？——基于珠三角地区25所社工机构的调查

伴随社会工作的全面铺开和受重视程度的提高,当前青年社工职业认同的整体水平高于以往研究。从影响因素来看,包括性别、年龄、受教育程度和婚姻状况的个体特征和包括社工工作年限和所在社工机构的规模的职业特征对青年社工的职业认同都有不同程度的影响。而从作用机制来看,个体自身因素和环境因素共同作用于青年社工的职业认同。路径分析表明,个人-组织匹配对青年社工职业认同的效用高于公共服务动机。因此,要提升青年社工的职业认同进而提高社工队伍的职业化水平一方面要注重引导青年社工投身职业,服务公众的“初心”情怀,另一方更要注重创建与优化工作环境,为青年社工提供职业支持资源,提高个人-职业匹配,实现青年社工个人与机构发展的“双赢”。     

后现代思潮中青年学子的生命教育

后现代思潮张扬＂颠覆＂和＂解构＂,宣扬＂边缘＂,追求＂另类＂,躲避＂崇高＂,倡导生活＂无厘头＂化。受其消极影响,一些青年学子失去了对生命存在的敬畏感,否定了生命延续的神圣意义,导致了一系列自杀、自残、施虐和杀人的极端行为发生。而当前我国高校中的生命教育却存在着教育体系不完善、教育方式不科学、教育内容缺乏针对性等不足。因此,在后现代思潮中应该有针对性地强化青年学子的生命意义教育：一是批判后现代思潮的虚妄性,教育青年学子正确认识历史和现实;二是尊重青年学子的个性差异,引导学子学会达成社会共识和担负生存责任;三是以马克思主义引导青年学子的＂三观＂成长,塑造青年学子正确的生命观。     

‘Becoming’ a possible threat: masculinity,culture and questioning among unaccompanied young men in Sweden

A debate on masculinity and immigration rose across Europe in 2015 after an incident with sexual harassments taking place in Cologne, Germany. The incident refuelled a debate positioning unaccompanied young men as a possible threat. This article is based on a research project where we during this time ethnographically followed 20 young men, having arrived in Sweden as ‘unaccompanied’ minors. The aim is to examine how the young men themselves talk about, reflect on and negotiate masculinity and gender during this period. The article concludes that masculinity cannot be approached as something stable easily being inherited or transferred from one’s origins. One difference for ‘unaccompanied’ young men is how conflicts or tensions emerging in relation to issues of gender and masculinity tend to be interpreted differently, and publicly, putting the young men in a ‘gendered situation of questioning’.     

“To get the word out”: LGBTQ+ Young adults’ motivations for participating in qualitative research studies

Understanding why socially marginalized individuals, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer (LGBTQ+) people, participate in research can improve qualitative research designs, as well as social services and policies. In providing a participant-centered foundation, we interviewed 65 LGBTQ+ young adults and asked “Why are certain LGBTQ+ young adults motivated to engage in qualitative social science studies?” Many LGBTQ+ young people said they were committed to enacting social change and promoting advocacy. Participants also highlighted supporting scientific research and knowledge production. Finally, LGBTQ?+ participants engaged with research to introspectively analyze their identity development processes. These findings can facilitate access to socially vulnerable and underrepresented groups through a methodological focus on participant benefits.     

Supporting unaccompanied asylum‐seeking young people: The experience of foster care

Although research on the experiences of unaccompanied asylum‐seeking young people in the UK has grown steadily in recent years, their experience of fostering and of the role played by foster carers in helping their adjustment have been neglected. This paper reports findings from the first UK study into these experiences, describing issues arising from initial assessment and preparation for fostering and the ways in which young people and foster carers adjusted to their lives together. It assesses the progress made by young people during placement, the strategies that appeared helpful to relationship building, and the extent to which young people had become integrated within the wider network of family relationships. Given that most young people first arrive as teenagers, it also considers the ways in which foster carers and social workers helped young people prepare for adult life in the context of uncertainties arising from the asylum process.
