Norms have been shown to predict a variety of intergroup outcomes among children. A study with children in Croatia (N = 184) who had no prior contact with refugee peers examined the role of social and personal norms in shaping intergroup outcomes with refugee peers. Regression analyses revealed that perceived teachers' and peers' norms, along with personal norms, predict general evaluation, social acceptance, and contact intentions towards refugee children. Social norms, especially those of teachers, were found to better predict attitudes, while peer norms more strongly influenced behavioural outcomes. These findings are important for educators and policymakers, particularly in the context of Croatia's increasingly diverse classrooms.

The Role of Social and Personal Norms of Majority Children in Predicting Attitudes Towards Refugee Peers

多数儿童的社会和个人规范在预测对难民同伴态度中的作用

In the context of the frequent stigmatisation of BDSM practices, the aim of this review was to identify potential positive effects of BDSM practices on the psychological functioning of individuals. Additionally, the factors and mechanisms underlying these positive effects will be highlighted to guide improvements in psychological and psychotherapeutic practices. After a systematic review of 181 articles, 9 studies were identified that examined the positive effects of BDSM practices. It was found that these practices positively impact self-awareness, authenticity, and a departure from adult responsibilities. Additionally, they can improve partner relationships by enhancing communication skills, negotiation abilities, and trust. Positive effects are contributed by BDSM practices through physical touch, open communication, and the formation of a community that provides safety and well-being for its members. Furthermore, research reports the possibility of transcendental states of consciousness among participants, which bring positive effects on psychological, emotional, and physical levels.

Positive Psychological Effects of BDSM Practices and Their Implications for Psychological and Psychotherapeutic Work: A Systematic Literature Review

BDSM实践的积极心理效应及其对心理和心理治疗工作的启示：一项系统性文献综述

The reintegration of veterans into civil society after military experience presents a challenge for individuals and governments alike, with social ties and institutional support being key factors in facilitating this transition. To gain insight into how the Croatian Homeland War veterans coped with these challenges 30 years after the war, we conducted semi- -structured focus groups (N = 17). We explored how connected they feel to the different segments of society, such as their families, comrades, other Homeland War participants, and other citizens of Croatia and Europe, and the quality of communication with relevant institutions and decision- -makers. The findings attest to lasting feelings of cohesion among veterans who have shared their warpath and experiences, the importance of veteran organisations, and the supportive effect of their families. Corrupt policies, resulting in a hyperinflated number of declared veterans who haven't been subject to wartime experiences, hinder a broader connection between veterans. The institutions mainly provide adequate support.

The Sentiments of Croatian Homeland War Veterans Towards Wartime Comrades, Families, and Society in General, 30 Years After the War

克罗地亚祖国战争退伍军人对战时战友、家庭及社会的情感，战后30年回顾

Indonesia is one of the countries that faces numerous disasters, with the recent increase largely attributed to the worsening effects of climate change. This study aimed to map out the experiences and meanings of indigenous communities regarding disaster information literacy based on local wisdom in facing the threat of global climate change. This research uses an interpretive paradigm with a phenomenological approach. Data collection techniques comprised in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, and participatory observations. The results showed that the indigenous peoples have the capacity to maximise their cultural assets to reduce disaster risks. In disaster crisis situations, these indigenous communities use their local wisdom to strengthen their capacity to deal with various threats such as droughts and floods. Second, cultural aspects determine the preparedness of indigenous peoples to face various risks of climate change. Therefore, they build an understanding that one of the effective ways to mitigate disasters is to use culture-based local wisdom. They also perform traditional rituals as a form of prayer when the crisis intensifies.

Indigenous People and the Meaning of the Construction of Disaster Information Literacy Based on Local Wisdom

本土人民与基于地方智慧的灾害信息素养构建意义

While an increasing number of studies provide important insights into media construction of old age, the structure of news sources is seldom examined. The latter is especially important in democratic societies, during election years, when people elect representatives who tackle older people's social problems. Using content analysis, we examined the source structure of news articles reporting on older people's problems in the Slovenian newspaper Delo in five sequential parliamentary election years from 2004 to 2018. The findings showed that news coverage was predominantly constructed by elite sources rarely including representatives of older people. This characteristic strengthens the surveillance function of Delo but undermines its role as a democratic forum. However, during the last three observed election years, Delo's news reporting showed signs of transitioning towards a more democratic forum, which holds potential for fostering older people's civic inclusion.
