Abstract : Cyberbullying among Emerging Adults: Exploring Prevalence, Impact, and Coping Methods
|
|
Abstract: Cyberbullying has been a concern among adolescents, parents and educators for years for its seemingly boundless reach and potential harm it can cause. Aggressors are often masked with anonymity and targeted individuals may feel powerless over what others do online. While such issues and concerns are prevalent among adolescent ages, college students are not invulnerable from parallel experiences. In the US, Macdonald and Roberts-Pittman (2010) found less than ten percent of college students were cyberbullies but over one-fifth reported as cybervictims. This study explored prevalence of cyber victimization and perpetration as well as evidence of damaging effects and impact. Among the college student sample of 1,921, participants were 18-25 years (mean age 20.1), just over half Caucasian (55.5%) and female (67.9%). Results indicated victimization most often occurred through phones (19.9%) and social networks (20.4%). For perpetration, prevalence was low across all platforms, however phone use was the preferred means of attacking others (6.5%). Low self-esteem was a significant predictor for victimization and perpetration. For males only, social capital was a significant predictor of victimization. Future directions and recommendations for follow-up studies are discussed as well as the importance of this study in relation to college student activities and behaviors. Keywords: Cyberbullying, Perpetration, Emerging Adults, Self-Esteem. |
Abstract : What is Religious Misconduct: A Typological Analysis of the Crimes Motivated by Polytheistic Religion, Using the Chinese Folk Religion as an Example
|
|
Abstract: In terms of political function, religion is usually defined by criminologists/sociologists as an institution of social control. While religion can assist state managers to maintain the status quo and to safeguard social order, religion, under certain circumstances, can become an antisocial force as well. In this paper, the criminogenic side of religions will be examined. By using the Chinese folk religion as an example, this paper will demonstrate that polytheistic religions can become unstable social organizations. Four topics will be addressed in this paper. First, the research paradigms that can help crime researchers examine the subject of religious misconduct will be summarized. Then the features shared by polytheistic religions will be proposed. The third part will look at the primary traits of Chinese folk religion. Finally, by using the Chinese folk religion as an instance, the diverse contexts under which polytheistic religions can breed deviant/criminal behaviors will be analyzed. Keywords: Crime of trust, Crime of obedience, Karma, Rebirth, Sex Crime. |
Abstract : Role of Leadership and Learning Environment in Influencing Learning Achievement Level of Students: A Study of Gamo Gofa Zone of Ethiopia
|
|
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the level of influence of leadership and learning environment on students’ academic achievement. The study employed survey design, quantitative method and simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution and independent samples t-test. The findings indicated that while both leadership and learning environment had a positive influence on the level of the students’ learning achievement, leadership tended to have a greater influence than learning environment in the study area. Thus, the primary school principals in Gamo Gofa Zone need to keep on applying appropriate leadership styles besides establishing conducive learning environment in their respective schools; moreover, rigorous research supported by causal comparative model has to be conducted on the research problem so that it might contribute to alleviating the problem. Keywords: Achievement, Leadership, Learning environment. |
Abstract : An Appraisal of Sea Robbery Control in Nigeria’s Waterways: Lessons from Niger Delta Region
|
|
Abstract: This study examined strategies adopted by relevant security agencies to curb sea robbery in Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select respondents’. A Sample of 400 was derived using Taro Yamane sample size determination technique. Questionnaires and oral interview were the methods used for data collection, while data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that the joint task force (JTF) is selective in carrying out its constitutional mandate as their presence is felt only in critical facilities, which implies that security is porous and much is needed to guarantee safety of lives and properties on Nigeria territorial waters. Consequent upon this finding, crime-mapping as indicated on GIS map of sample states is recommended. Keywords: Appraisal, Sea Robbery, Lessons, Niger Delta Waterways. |
