Social media has increasingly become an important communication channel for users to disseminate useful public and emergency information in these incidents. Communications, including web-based services, between governments, communities, and people involved in the management of disasters are mandatory for the purposes of early warning, rescue services, and recovery. Purpose of this article is exploring how people may use or had used the social media applications during the disaster and provide the advantages of social media in disaster management all over the world but specifically for citizens of Türkiye and Iraq. To get the response of the users, a Google form based survey questionnaire was distributed to the users through the internet. Two hundred and eleven persons, from both genders responded, ages ranged from 17 years to above 45, from different educational levels, inhabiting Türkiye (n = 105, 49.8%), Iraq (n = 88, 41.7%), and other countries (n = 18, 8.5%). The study shows that depending on the culture, social media usage behaviors change for disaster situations. During the disaster, Iraqi citizens preferred to use the Facebook application, meanwhile Türkish citizens prefer to use WhatsApp application to communicate. Both, governments and private sector, are invited to establish and continuously update the infrastructure and facilities of an effective social media communication system, plans should be made to encourage all sectors of society to learn how to use social media in the event of a disaster.KEYWORDS: Disasterdisaster managementsocial mediatechnology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.DeclarationAll authors have read, understood, and have complied as applicable with the statement on “Ethical responsibilities of Authors” as found in the Instructions for Authors and are aware that with minor exceptions, no changes can be made to authorship once the paper is submitted.Informed consentThis manuscript did not involve human or animal participants; therefore, informed consent was not collected.Additional informationFundingNo financial support was provided relevant to this article.","PeriodicalId":47328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment","volume":"318 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136067715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growth of India’s older population has increased our concerns about their well-being. While it is critical to explore the diverse needs and aging experience of older Indians, their voices are largely missing in the aging literature. In this context, data was collected from 63 community-dwelling and OAH residing older men and women of Delhi NCR to understand their aging experience, views about old age and perceived need for government intervention in old age care and support. Reflexive thematic analysis of their aging experience and perception of old age generated five themes and six sub-themes: The aging body encompassing three sub-themes “the older we become the more diseases we have”, “the ointment called positive thinking”, “women’s quest for self-care”; Psychological gains and social losses; Affiliation, distraction and anticipation; The aging parent and the adult child comprising three sub-themes “filial relations—quality and quantity”, “children these days and their mobile phones”, “our daughter shows us more love and care”; and A time for religious and spiritual devotion. Lastly, the analysis of their perceived need for government support in old age care generated five sub-themes – Political cynicism, I was a private employee but am I not a part of this country? Government or Private Hospitals: A no-win situation, Everyday life and Reforms in OAHs.

Suicide cases worldwide occur mostly in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of economic indicators of low and middle-income countries on suicide rates by panel data analysis method. The dependent variable is the (crude) suicide rate. The independent variables are gross domestic product, per capita income, general unemployment rate, poverty level, and Gini index value. In the study, two different econometric models were developed. In Model 1, it was predicted that a 1% increase in the poverty level of countries in the middle-income group could lead to an increase of 0.66% in the suicide rate. In Model-2, it was estimated that a 1% increase in the per capita income of low-income countries would cause a 0.52% decrease in the suicide rate. It was predicted that a possible increase of 1% in the Gini index value would cause an increase of 0.24% and 0.32% in the suicide rates of middle- and low-income countries, respectively. Although there are various factors affecting the suicide rate in society, there are often economic reasons at the root of the problem. The consequences of the unequal distribution of income in a poorer society can be more devastating. Although the results of the study are important in terms of revealing the effect of economic indicators on suicide rates more research is needed in this area.KEYWORDS: Economic indicatorsincome levelsuicide ratepanel data analysis AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to extend their sincere thanks to anyone who contributed to this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Author contributionsPlan, design: SK, OS, MK; Material, methods, and data collection: SK, OS; Data analysis and comments: OS; Writing and corrections: SK, MK.Additional informationFundingThis research has not supported any institution.","PeriodicalId":47328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136013021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current literature requires more investigation into the mediating function of teachers’ identification in the relationship between innovative culture and teachers’ affective commitment. This underscores the necessity for a more comprehensive comprehension of this mediating mechanism. Therefore, through combining two theoretical frameworks, Behavioral Commitment Theory (BCT) and Social Identity Theory (SIT), this study delves into the intricate psychological interplay between innovative organizational culture and its influence on teachers’ sense of identification and affective commitment in primary schools, which could provide insight into more understanding of this phenomenon. By surveying 432 teachers, this study sought to discern the direct impacts of an innovation-driven culture on teachers’ organizational identification and affective commitment and the potential mediating role of this identification. The findings of this study, which were inferred from the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), illuminate that an innovative atmosphere significantly resonates with teachers’ identification and affective commitment. Additionally, this identification emerges as a bridge that further intensifies teachers’ emotional bond (affective commitment) with their institution in the context of innovation culture. This research contributes valuable insights for educational institutions and provides practical implications for students, teachers, and schools, while highlighting certain constraints and avenues for future exploration.KEYWORDS: Innovative organizational cultureorganizational identificationaffective organizational commitmentbehavioral commitment theorysocial identity theoryprimary schools AcknowledgmentsThe Authors are grateful to the journal’s anonymous referees for their extremely useful suggestions to improve the quality of the article.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe author received no financial support for the research, authorship, and or publication of this article.","PeriodicalId":47328,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136099633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
