Numerous variables can influence women's sexual self-perception and mental health. Consequently, this study aimed to examine the parameters associated with sexual self-concept and mental health in lesbian and heterosexual women. In this scoping review study, researchers performed computer searches on databases, Google Web, SID, Scholar Scopus, and PubMed, using keywords. Finally, the complete data of 29 articles have been used in this review article. Factors related to self-concept and mental health can be also enumerated, which were generally studied. The findings of the present review show that sexual self-concept and mental health as a key indicator in sexual activity and predict sexual behavior are influenced by various factors which includes the effect of hormones, genetic differences, age, gender, marital status, race, impotency and various diseases. Therefore, it seems that paying attention to relevant factors to the characteristics of each person can improve women's sexual health. In order to increase the depth and breadth of our knowledge of factors related to and affecting mental health and sexual self-concept, conducting studies with a qualitative approach is also recommended.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74939965","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}

Exposure to various skincare brands can drive the need for variety that affect buying behavior made by consumers. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the need for variety and brand switching intention. A quantitative approach with correlational method was used in this study. Convenience sampling was used as the sampling method and 187 respondents was obtained. Need for Variety and Brand Switching was measured using the EBBT Scale and Brand Switching Intention Scale, respectively, which have been proven to have good reliability and validity. Respondents filled out a research questionnaire through online form. The results obtained from this study showed that there is a positive correlation between the need for variety and brand switching intention on specific brand consumer (r = 0.293, p-value<.05), which indicates that the higher the need for variety, it is likely that the brand switching intention would also be higher. However, the correlation between the two variables fell into the weak category, which could be the cause of consumers are in highly engaged with the skincare products of their choice and with marketers providing variations of each skincare product to prevent consumers from looking for variations in other brands.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"162 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73916480","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}

However, the present study used a qualitative approach to find out psychosocial determinants of recidivism, specifically guided by the phenomenological approach. The data was collected from two women's prisons. Six (N=06) semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted. The findings revealed two major themes; psychological factors (personality and social exclusion) and social factors (social demographic factors, familial factors, societal constituents, and judicial system) behind recidivism. This study is helpful for determining the underlying factors behind criminal acts and recidivism and it will help the prison department to consider these psychosocial determinants of recidivism and reentry to prisons and will also help in the psychological assessment of prisoners at their first entry to prison.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73783090","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}

College students and recent graduates from countries where the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been particularly severe are particularly at risk because of the rigorous lockdown measures they confront and the limited resources they have to deal with it. The study's goal was to determine how much depression, stress and anxiety graduates experienced during lockdown due to the dread of the COVID-19 pandemic virus. A total of 120 graduates (44% females, 56% males) between 20 and 38 years old were surveyed. The sample involved 68% of students from public universities and 32% from private universities. It was found that the average levels of depression, stress, and anxiety were all higher than those considered normal. Fear of COVID was linked to depression, stress, and anxiety in a statistically positive relationship. The dread of COVID and depression are inextricably linked through the mediating role of anxiety and stress. In addition, there was no difference in males' and females' degrees of fear of COVID-19 and depression. The findings of this study illustrate the critical role that fear, stress, and anxiety play in the onset of depressive symptoms and how they might be taken into account in programs aimed at avoiding and treating this disorder. Some general techniques for minimizing stress and fear of COVID-19 are proposed, as are programs geared specifically to regulate and overcome graduate anxiety.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88734670","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 purpose of this review was to examine the concept of BI in adolescent cancer patients (ACPs) and to discuss the role of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in providing psychosocial support. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and 18 journal articles were included. BI was discussed under the headings: the body reality, the body ideal, the body presentation, coping strategies and social support. Cancer-related physical changes include hair loss, weight changes and scarring. Patients employ a range of coping strategies in response to these changes such as concealment, self-imposed isolation, fatalistic coping strategies and self-love. Social support is an imperative component of BI. Concepts such as a “peer shield” and “testing the waters” can be explored with ACPs by HCPs. Evidence shows that BI should be routinely addressed by HCPs beginning at diagnosis. Five levels of support provided by HCPs were discussed in the context of ACPs.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79644151","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}
