Measuring life orientation of university students
Journal for Health Sciences, 2018
An optimistic or a pessimistic outlook is directly related to the attitude about the circumstances of one’s life. Optimistic personality trait is important for students as it can determine how successfully they are in the academic years and in their future career. This study aimed to investigate life orientation in a university population and find its associated factors. In this crosssectional study, participants were recruited from the campuses of two universities, the University of Miskolc (41%) and the National University of Public Service (59%). A total of 521 students’ data were analyzed (male 29.2%, female 66.4% and missing data 4.4%). The mean age was 23.8 (5.17) years old. There were no significant differences between males and females in life orientation, but in our sample both males and females were significantly more pessimistic than optimistic. Stepwise regression analysis for life orientation found five significant predictors: depression, sleep quality, physical fitness, weekly amount of exercise, and marital status. These findings suggest that more optimistic students are in relationships, are less depressive, have good sleep quality, and are engaged in regular exercise, leading to having good physical fitness.

Time has changed. We now live in a society, where new technologies and information dictate the rapid pace in which we live. This has implications and changes in people’s lives’ and in the working world. Life and career are becoming less foreseeable. So, design and construct a life and career poses a major challenge for people. During college, students should seek to learn on how to design and build their life project, including career. They need to get engaged and take actions. In this article, we intend to draw attention to the importance of helping and empowering college students to better design and build their lives and career in a meaningful way and the role that a career counsellor, like a psychologist in a college setting, could have in this context. Also, we address the importance of college students’ change their mind-set and behaviours towards the construction of their lives and careers. Futhermore, we present some considerations on how career counsellors can help college students in this process. Empower college students with resources and opportunities to better design and carry out their life projects is essential, allowing them to become more productive and active citizens and thus, contribute to their society.

Considering The Social Context in Gender Research: The Impact of College Students' Life Stage
Psychology of Women Quarterly, 1991
Although a large body of research has investigated the possibility of motivational or attitudinal differences in women and men that would explain observable differences in levels of achievement, much of this research has failed to produce the expected results. It is proposed that the failure of researchers to consider the personal and contextual characteristics of their college student samples may have contributed to this lack of results. Some of the relevant variables include those provided by the (lack of) context of the typical laboratory experiment. Other context cues emerge from an analysis of the life stage of the typical research study participant. Predictions about achievement differences across the early adult years are outlined. This same life stage analysis is also briefly applied to other areas of gender research. This article is based on the Carolyn Wood Sherif Award lecture by Irene Hanson Frieze, presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, Boston, August 1990. This award is given annually by Division 35 (Psychology of Women) of the American Psychological Association in recognition of the recipient's research, teaching and mentoring, and leadership. We thank Josephine Olson and Margaret Signorella for their helpful and very insightful comments on an earlier version of this article.

AN ANALYSIS OF LIFE COURSE THEORIES- Hayat Boyu Suçluluk Teorilerinin Analizi
Özet 1980'li yılların sonu ve 1990'ların başında ergenlik ve suçluların yaşamları boyunca anti-sosyal davranışlar da bulunması araştırmacıların yoğun olarak ilgisini çekmeye başlamıştır. Bazı akademisyenler bu yükselen paradigmayı gelişimsel kriminoloji veya hayat-boyu kriminoloji (suçluluk) olarak isimlendirmişlerdir. Suçlar büyük oranda ergenlik döneminde işlendiğinden dolayı, Kriminologlar ergenlik ve suç işleme konusundaki ilgilerini ve ampirik analizlerin birçoğu bu dönemi irdelemiştir. Bu alanda çoğu ampirik araştırma suçların başlangıç, suça devam etme (sebat) ve suçtan vazgeçme aşamalarının belirleyici unsurlarını ve bunların nasıl gerçekleştiğini incelemişlerdir. Bu çalışma hayat boyu suçluluk anlayışı ve hayat boyu suçluluk teorilerini irdeleyerek bu teorilerin suça başlama, suça devam etme ve suçtan vazgeçme olgularını karşılaştırmıştır. Ayrıca, hayat boyu suçluluk modelinin kriminoloji açısından politika önerilerini incelemiştir. Abstract Interest in adolescence and antisocial behavior throughout offenders' lives had grown rapidly by the late 1980s and early 1990s...

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, 2021
This research examines the perceptions and values of the life of students studying in tertiary institutions regarding gender roles. For this purpose, 324 students were randomly selected and their Attitudes towards Gender Roles and Life Values were measured along with several socio-demographic questions. 35.2% of the students who participated in this study were male, and 64.8% were female students. Judging from the average scale according to gender, it can be seen that the average female student is higher than male students. When youth views on gender roles were examined, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) between the genders across most of the propositions. In addition, it is observed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of student life values and egalitarian gender roles, which are sub-dimensions of gender perceptions and the role of gender in marriage.
