The Relationship Between “Teen Mom” Reality Programming and Teenagers' Beliefs About Teen Parenthood     

Nicole Martins  Robin E. Jensen 《Mass Communication and Society》2014,17(6):830-852

A survey was conducted with U.S. high school students (M = 16.57 years of age) from the Midwest to examine whether exposure to “teen mom” reality programming (e.g., 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom) was related to teens' perceptions of teen parenthood. Contrary to our hypotheses, analyses revealed that exposure to teen mom reality programming was related to an increased tendency to believe that teen mothers have an enviable quality of life, a high income, and involved fathers. Teens who perceived reality television as realistic were most likely to hold these perceptions. The findings are discussed in terms of cultivation theory.  相似文献   

Decrease in pulmonary diffusion capacity after maximal exercise     

B. S. Rasmussen  B. Hanel  K. Jensen  B. Serup  N.H. Secher 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(3):185-188

Oppression of the chest, cough and orthopnea are well known to occur in some athletes after competitions, maybe reflecting an increase in lung water. In order to indicate if lung water increases after maximal exercise we measured pulmonary diffusion capacity before and 2.1 h after a short maximal arm exercise bout in 11 canoeists and showed a decrease of 6.7%. The result may be explained by a calculated 17% increase in alveolar interstitial volume.  相似文献   

Pretask Speed Training and Movement Complexity     

Barbara E. Jensen 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2013,84(4):657-665

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of pretask speed training and movement complexity on skill acquisition using the rotary pursuit. The study was a two-part investigation utilizing subjects from two different schools. The data from each school were analyzed separately with slight procedural differences made in the second investigation. The first study included 72 third graders; 90 third and fourth graders were in the second investigation. Both studies used a pretask training period of three days and a testing period of three additional days. A criterion speed of 50 rpm was used in the first study; 40 rpm was used in the second study. Three pretask training groups were used: one trained at the criterion speed and the other two using a gradual build-up of speeds with one being closer to the criterion than the other. The complexity dimension was studied by using a circle, square, or triangle top plate on the rotary pursuit. Both investigations used a 3 × 3 × 3 factorial ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor (days). Although differences were found in performance over the test days according to the type of pretask training, the days × speed interaction indicated that by the fourth and fifth day the only group performing significantly poorer (p < .05) was the group trained at a very slow speed in relationship to the criterion speed. The complexity × speed interaction was not significant (p > .05) indicating no differential effects for these two factors.  相似文献   

Ethnic Socialization in Neighborhood Contexts: Implications for Ethnic Attitude and Identity Development Among Mexican‐Origin Adolescents          下载免费PDF全文

Rebecca M. B. White  George P. Knight  Michaeline Jensen  Nancy A. Gonzales 《Child development》2018,89(3):1004-1021

Neighborhood Latino ethnic concentration, above and beyond or in combination with mothers' and fathers' ethnic socialization, may have beneficial implications for minority adolescents' ethnic attitude and identity development. These hypotheses, along with two competing hypotheses, were tested prospectively (from  = 12.79–15.83 years) in a sample of 733 Mexican‐origin adolescents. Neighborhood ethnic concentration had beneficial implications for ethnic identity processes (i.e., ethnic exploration and perceived peer discrimination) but not for ethnic attitudes. For Mexico‐born adolescents, high maternal ethnic socialization compensated for living in neighborhoods low on ethnic concentration. Findings are discussed vis‐à‐vis the ways in which they address major gaps in the neighborhood effects literature and the ethnic and racial identity development literature.  相似文献   

The unbearable lightness of organizational learning theory: organizations, information technologies, and complexities of learning in theory and practice     

Casper Bruun Jensen  Randi Markussen 《Learning Inquiry》2007,1(3):203-218

Over the last decades the notion of learning has become increasingly popular both as an intellectual site of investigation and as an organizational aspiration. However, learning has many—sometimes contradictory—meanings. For pragmatic sociologists and researchers in science and technology studies (STS) the notion may appeal because of its connotations of ongoing and unpredictable transformation. Yet, a more predominant viewpoint associated with cognitive research, conceive of learning in terms of organized and controllable change processes. We characterize the latter viewpoint as the unbearable lightness of learning. We use Argyris and Schön’s model of organizational learning to illustrate some of the problematic theoretical assumptions and empirical consequences, which are entailed by viewing learning in exclusively cognitive terms. Prominent among these is the inability to analyze social and technologically mediated organizational learning. In conclusion, we argue that alternative models for organizational learning could find inspiration in science and technology studies.  相似文献   

Behavioral CRs elicited by a lithium- or an amphetamine-paired contextual test chamber     

Linda A. Parker  Karen Hills  Krista Jensen 《Learning & behavior》1984,12(3):307-315

The behavioral CRs elicited by a drug-paired contextual cue in rats were measured in a series of experiments. The first three experiments measured the pattern of CRs elicited by a lithiumand an amphetamine-paired CS chamber. The final experiment measured the pattern of URs elicited by lithium or amphetamine when administered in the same chamber. The suppression of grooming-related activities (body washing, face washing, and/or scratching) appeared as a nonspecific effect of both drug USs that was capable of becoming conditioned to the contextual chamber cue. A number of other behaviors differed among conditions, which provides evidence that contextual cue-drug associations are drug-specific. Of the behaviors that differed between the two US drug conditions, lithium CRs showed evidence of behavioral activation (enhanced rearing and limb flicking), but amphetamine CRs showed evidence of behavioral suppression (line crossing, rearing, and shaking). The UR patterns shared some similar and some dissimilar elements of the CR patterns elicited by the CS chamber for both lithium and amphetamine; in fact, by the activity and rearing measures, the URs and CRs were opposite in direction. The results exclusively supported neither stimulus substitution nor conditioned compensatory response accounts of Pavlovian conditioning; instead, each process appears to have accounted for different components of the overall CR pattern.  相似文献   

Moral motivation and the battle for students: The case of studies in nursing and social work in Norway     

Karen Jensen  Per Olaf Aamodt 《Higher Education》2002,44(3-4):361-378

This paper presents data from a project onmoral motivation. It is more pragmaticallyframed on what it is that attracts students to`untrendy' fields and makes them want to do agood job. As the value structure in societychanges and the battle for students hardens,there is a growing concern that fields crucialto the development of society may lose out inthe competition for the best students. Amongthe fields that have received attention inthese debates are nursing and social work. Inpart, this is due to the fact that these fieldshave already experienced a decline inapplicants which merits concern, and in partdue to the image these studiesproject. In the debate on intake qualitiesfocus has primarily been on the academicquality of the students, and less on themotivational qualities that work of this typeimplies. The data presented here highlightsqualities related to this dimension ofprofessional work.  相似文献   

Using student learning and development outcomes to evaluate a first-year undergraduate group video project     

Jensen M  Mattheis A  Johnson B 《CBE life sciences education》2012,11(1):68-80

Students in an interdisciplinary undergraduate introductory course were required to complete a group video project focused on nutrition and healthy eating. A mixed-methods approach to data collection involved observing and rating video footage of group work sessions and individual and focus group interviews. These data were analyzed and used to evaluate the effectiveness of the assignment in light of two student learning outcomes and two student development outcomes at the University of Minnesota. Positive results support the continued inclusion of the project within the course, and recommend the assignment to other programs as a viable means of promoting both content learning and affective behavioral objectives.  相似文献
