FROM BODY MEMORY. A CULTURAL - COMPARATIVE READING OF THE FAT/ BREAD MARRIAGE

Author(s): Gabriela Mariana Luca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2022

We are the species that invented articulate language, projection into the imaginary, the story. We grow up and hang out with words. We say that a picture is worth more than a thousand words precisely because the imagination of each of us can create an infinity of stories. The red thread of the story itself becomes an identity brand. Learning to tell ourselves, but to listen to the stories of others, is the background fabric of any communication process. Thus, the doctor-patient relationship can be a model of how we use narrative in professional communication. "Reading" a patient's body involves understanding their "history". In other words, it presupposes at least a gesture of deciphering an entire archeology of being. Our project, which spans several years, is one that includes several branches related to the human body and of how, by word, through a shared story, we nourish the physical and symbolic body, creating connections between different cultures and a better understanding of the comparative models of representation of the body. This work — a fragment of the cited research — brings to attention the importance of training the cultural skills of the future doctor ready to practice in a world of fast-forward communication, open and subject to cutting-edge technology and in which the need for dialogue, confidence and closeness has become more than acute. The example we invoke, the cultural-comparative reading of the human body under two universal symbolic coordinates: fat and bread, one of those used in our anthropological practice, is based on the model proposed by Gunther D. Domenig. According to this, CCT (the cross- cultural competences), the doctor's ability to understand each person according to the norms of the cultural system in which he was born is built through: reflection, reflection in the context of accumulated personal experience and narrative empathy.

SELF-DETERMINATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT – AS FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Author(s): Oana-Mălina Stoian / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 31/2022

Self-determination involves understanding the behavior of individuals by referring to its motives that are genuine, individual. A close connection is observed between motivation and self-determination, as both are triggered by internal sources, without neglecting external factors. Therefore, the actions undertaken by the student will be determined by the effort he is willing to undertake, depending on the proposed goal and how it resonates with the feelings triggered. The self-determination theory of motivation (SDT, Deci, 1980) explains the student's commitment, enthusiasm and continued interest in education and learning (Deci & Ryan, 1985). In the relationship between self-determination and motivation, we must also constantly consider environmental factors, because the student reacts to the educational activity and in relation to its influences/variables.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND COMMUNICATION STYLE IN CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Author(s): Adriana Ciobanu,Mariana PÎRVAN / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

The need to communicate is a necessity of the human being to exchange information with his peers. It sets in motion a dynamic, verbal and non-verbal process, allowing people to become accessible to each other, to manage to share feelings, opinions, experiences and information, thus highlighting the relationship between emotional intelligence and communication. Blocked by their own emotions, children with special educational needs encounter great difficulties in communication and school adaptation. The change in the living environment of the child with special educational requirements influences the somatic and mental state of the child, children cannot know all the diversity of human experience, thus many of the social and personal resources remain inaccessible to them. Through this article we want to elucidate intelligence as a complex system of operations that conditions the general way of approaching and solving the most diverse situations and problematic tasks in which the child with special educational requirements finds himself.

Author(s): Victoria Maximciuc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

The article addresses the communication development of pre-adolescents with multiple and severe disabilities. Communication disorders negatively affect the development of mental processes and socialization. In the educational process for this category of children, it is necessary to apply alternative and augmentative communication. On the other hand, developing communication skills will decrease the frequency of behavioural disorders. The aim of the research was to identify the possibilities of developing communication skills in pre-adolescents with multiple and severe disabilities in the educational institution. To this end, we have assessed specialists, parents and preadolescents. We trained teachers and parents and developed programmes on developing communication skills.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION STYLES IN ADOLESCENTS WITH AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR

Author(s): Maria Pleșca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 32/2023

The article is dedicated to solving a relevant problem - the study of the peculiarities of aggressive behavior in adolescents, as well as the relationship between such significant variables as a person's aggressiveness in interpersonal interaction and the style of behavior in a conflict situation. Aggressiveness is a fairly stable characteristic of the personality, due, on the one hand, to psychophysiological characteristics, and on the other hand, it reflects the internal position of the personality and socialization processes. Being connected in a certain way with other characteristics of the personality, aggressiveness significantly affects the formation of the characteristics of the individual's activity and communication. The image of a conflict situation corresponds to all the main indicators and characteristics of ontological reality: it is always correlated with the subject; it is presented in a person's mind in a "folded" form; it mediates and refracts external influences. According to the results of the correlation analysis, significant relationships were identified between the scales: "Resentment" and "Adaptation" (r=-0.328, p≤0.05); "Verbal aggressiveness" and "Adaptation" (r=-0.41, p≤0.01). An inversely proportional statistical relationship was revealed between such a type of behavior in a conflict situation as "Adaptation" and such a form of manifestation of aggression as "Resentment". This suggests that the more often a student uses such a behavior strategy in conflicts as "Adaptation", the less a form of aggression such as "Resentment" (r=-0.328, p≤0.05) is manifested in behavior.

THE IMPACT OF COGNITIVE SCHEMES ON THE WELL-BEING OF THE ELDERLY

Author(s): Angela POTÂNG,Monica Andreea Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

Psychological well-being and cognitive schemas are two interconnected concepts in the field of psychology. Cognitive schemas are mental structures or thought patterns being developed in order to organize and interpret information from the environment. These cognitive schemas are essential for processing information, making decisions, and understanding the world. Positive self-reflection and awareness of our thinking can contribute to improve well-being. By identifying and replacing negative or dysfunctional thoughts with healthier and more realistic thoughts, individuals can improve their attitude and overall well-being. Cognitive schemas play a significant role in the way people think, feel, and behave, and how they relate to these cognitive schemas can influence their psychological well-being. Awareness and improvement of dysfunctional cognitive schemas can be an important aspect of well-being and mental health.

RISKY DRIVING BEHAVIOR: IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMS IN REDUCING DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR ON THE ROAD

Author(s): Felicia Haidu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

The impact of risky driving includes accidents resulting in injuries, loss of life, and economic costs. Various interventions, such as public awareness campaigns, education, law enforcement, and technological measures, have been implemented to address this issue. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, and a comprehensive approach that includes emotional and cognitive education is needed. The study emphasizes the relevance of addressing and resolving dangerous driving behaviors to prevent accidents and their consequences, through psychosocial intervention programs. The program's objectives included reducing aggression in traffic, improving self-control and conflict management skills, and increasing awareness of aggressive driving behaviors. The program involved a group of 100 participants selected based on their high levels of aggressive driving behavior. The intervention program was found to significantly reduce risky driving behavior, as evidenced by posttest comparisons using ANCOVA. The results suggested that the intervention had a positive impact on the experimental group, leading to lower levels of risky driving behavior. These findings emphasize the importance of intervention programs in promoting safer driving and reducing risks on the road.

INVOLVEMENT OF EMOTIONAL FACTORS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS

Author(s): Gabriela LEUȚANU / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

Emotion has a substantial influence on cognitive processes in humans, including perception, attention, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving. The effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent, as studies have reported that emotion either enhances or impairs learning and long-term memory retention, depending on a number of factors. The results of the research show that the vast majority of respondents who do not cope with stress are between 18 and 25 years old, and the least, those between 31 and 35 years old. Most of them manage to control their emotions. The emotions/states of mind towards the exams identified by the respondents were mostly those of tension and fear, and a small percentage of them reacted positively.

MEANINGS OF FORGIVENESS IN UNIVERSAL SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE

Author(s): Laura-Elena Chiriac,Vlad Ciofu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

The objective of the study was to investigate the topic of forgiveness, conceptualized as a personality trait and understood from several perspectives. In a wealth of meanings commonly found in universal scientific discourse, the religious and psychological approaches to forgiveness could be revealed, making the understanding of this mechanism more comprehensive. More than that, we can assume a complementary view of forgiveness, initially perceived as a religious ritual, where people wished to receive forgiveness from the deity, and then by extending the concept to the interpersonal level, where people manifested a need for mutual forgiveness for aggressions suffered. The latter approach shifted the idea of forgiveness from a divine concept to one present at the psychological level, which allowed the identification of several models, dimensions and measurement tools of forgiveness. Not least, the paper aimed to glimpse the explanatory factors of forgiveness present in the psychological narrative. In this regard, it seems that loneliness, machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy and perfectionism play an important role in explaining forgiveness as a personality structure.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN COUPLE

Author(s): Cristina Ceban / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 34/2023

Psychological studies have shown that the most common causes of family conflicts are communication disorders, the lack of ability to manage emotions. Modern studies on the reaction of spouses to family conflict and the dependence of perception on gender characteristics have revealed that, regardless of the length of family life, both men and women tend to look at the conflict through the prism of their own expectations, ideas, without taking into account the opinion of a partner, which is evidence of a lack of orientation towards the partner. For young families, the most typical are the conflicts arising on the basis of relations with relatives, the distribution of power with a pronounced dominance of one of the spouses, as well as the planning of the family budget. Over time, these causes of conflict become less expressed, disagreements about the education of children come to the fore and the disruption of role expectations. The dominant behavioral strategy for women is avoidance, for men it is compromise. At the same time, both women and men are ready to cooperate to preserve the psychological comfort of the family, but unlike women, husbands are more inclined to violate their husbands' rights in order to achieve their own.

In this paper we chose to study the influence of music therapy with the help of Boomwhackers instruments on the following skills: sustained attention, short-term memory, phonemic hearing and reading fluency in students with severe and associated impairments, among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. I considered this type of intervention useful because the effectiveness of music therapy is proven in many situations both in typical children and in those with atypical development. The students participating in the study have music among their passions and because of this, their implication activities was achieved without much difficulty. Also, the use of Boomwhackers was of high interest for the students and they were always excited to participate in the activities.
