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}

A survey was distributed to university faculty using online methods, and the results showed a positive relationship between job crafting and employee performance and job satisfaction. Additionally, the study found that Perceived Organizational Support plays an important role in the relationship between job crafting and job satisfaction.

A sample of 200 undergraduate students from a university of education participated in the study. Utilizing a regression model, it was found that students are more at ease and inclined to learn in an e-learning environment, which improves their comprehension of e-learning, self-efficacy, and motivation for academic performance. The results are significant as they demonstrate the impact of students' academic motivations, self-efficacy and their understanding of e-learning towards academic performance. The study suggests that for students to perform academically in an e-learning environment, they must possess strong and sharp minds and be able to acquire digital skills. The outcomes of this research can be used to guide the counseling of students, instructors, and directors to enhance the effective implementation of e-learning.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78831255","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}

For this purpose, Peer Pressure Inventory (Kiran-Esen, 2003) was used to measure peer pressure, Academic stress was measured by using Academic Stress Scale (Kim, 1970) and Goal Adjustment Scale (Wrosch, Scheier, Miller, Schulz, & Carver, 2003) used to measure goal adjustment and demographic information was also obtained. Reliability analysis, independent samples t-test, and Two-way MANOVA were applied. A t-test revealed that day scholar college students experience more direct peer pressure and academic stress. They are more tend to disengage in unattainable goals and are more inclined to reengage in attainable goals rather than hostelite college students. Two-way MANOVA depicted that day scholar boys assume direct peer pressure and they more disengage in unattainable goals and reengage in attainable goals as compared to day scholar girls and hostelite girls and boy college students. The current study will give insight to related educational governing bodies to introduce effective educational methods and a sound environment for students where they can deal with academic stress effectively and be more involved in goal reengagement.","PeriodicalId":51771,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89620944","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}
