Structural model data analysis revealed social support was associated with lower HRQoL. CRS (intrusive domain) mediated the association between social support and HRQoL, such that social support was linked to reduced cancer distress which in turn resulted in improved HRQoL. These findings suggest a need to improve HRQoL, employing cognitive-based therapy aimed at reducing CRS in cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42409929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following confirmatory factor analysis, test of the measurement invariance, and measurement of the latent mean difference across participant sex of the instrument, results provided support for the hypothesised 16-factor structure. Empirical support for discriminant and convergent validity was strong. Additionally, we found significant latent mean differences between male and female teachers in terms of the constructs peer support, supervisor sanction, and training design. The LTIS appears to yield valid and reliable scores for measuring learning transfer of Cameroonian teachers following in-service training.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48172734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants completed the Defender Self-Efficacy Scale, the Perceived Responsibility Scale, and the Participant Role Behaviour Scale, respectively. Following structural equation modelling, the results indicated that bullying defender self-efficacy directly predicted bullying defender behaviour in the school pupils. Perceived responsibility strengthened the association between bullying defender self-efficacy and bullying defender behaviour partly in boys, while the association between bullying defender self-efficacy and bullying defender behaviour was higher in girls rather than boys. These findings show that prosocial behaviour of primary school children from a collectivist culture is influenced by gender, so that gender is an important factor to consider when designing anti-bullying interventions for improved school citizenship.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44671677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following moderated mediation analysis, our study showed that employees who perceive their organisations to be socially responsible are more likely to trust their organisations and share knowledge with colleagues. Furthermore, when employees perceived a high level of organisation exchange relationship, the positive effect of perceived CSR on organisational trust was stronger.

In the final logistic regression model, male sex, aged 35 to 44 years, ten or more years of education, current tobacco smoking, current smokeless tobacco use, second-hand smoke exposure, and having four or more meals outside the home in the past week increased the odds of HED.
