Social Climate

This study investigated the extent to which perceived physical and social-environment qualities of supported housing facilities (SHF) account for variations in the perceived quality of life of people with severe mental illness (SMI). Based on a user-centered approach, people with SMI (N = 72) appraised the environment of their SHF (N = 20). Moreover, it investigated whether place attachment played a role in the relationship established between the environment of SHF and users' quality of life. Perceived physical and social-environment qualities predicted quality of life. Together the two factors accounted for approximately 32% of quality of life variance. Furthermore, attachment to place mediated this relationship. Implications for future planning of psychologically supportive facilities for this vulnerable group in society are discussed.

The contribution is divided into two parts the theoretical and application one. In the theoretical part we focus on the explanation and accounting for the importance of music and movement activities for pre-schoolers. In the theoretical part we deal with fundamental movement skills and activities to promote relationships and movement expressions applicable in nursery schools with pre-schoolers. In the application part we introduce two educational activities that were selected and designed based on theoretical background. We focus specifically on the promotion of relationships and movement expression in pre-schoolers.

The public sector needs to monitor the performance of the private prisons, and it is necessary to conduct the monitoring as objectively as possible. This paper demonstrates that an often overlooked source of data, surveys of inmates, can be used to differentiate prisons on areas such as gang activity, safety and security, sanitation, and food service delivery. Hierarchical linear models were used to generate the prison performance measures. Second, we show that inmates and staff largely agree in their assessments of conditions at the prison. Finally, we demonstrate that while there is considerable consistency for different measures within the topical areas examined, there is no necessary correspondence in performance across the different topical areas of gang management, safety and security, sanitation, and food service delivery. While surveys will and should never replace operational reviews and audits, we demonstrated that they can be effectively used to obtain information about operational differences between prisons.

RESUMEN Los datos actuales, sobre fracaso escolar en educación son alarmantes, con índices por encima de la media europea Por ello, las universidades han de reaccionar con propuestas de mejora, fiables, válidas y adaptadas, tales como, el establecimiento de metodologías alternativas docentes, que ayudan al incremento de la adquisición de aprendizajes y competencias, las cuales reducen conductas de riesgo, promocionando un entorno y clima escolar adecuado. Atendiendo a esta situación, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la eficacia del Programa Huelva Educa, experiencia basada en el aprendizaje-servicio y la mentoría entre iguales, para incrementar el rendimiento escolar y mejorar el clima social de alumnado de educación obligatoria. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 69 alumnos de educación obligatoria y 14 docentes-tutores. En esta investigación, se empleó un diseño cuasiexperimental pretest-postest con un solo grupo, donde la intervención consistió en una serie de sesiones de ...

Se estudió el clima social de un Centro Penitenciario Femenil. Para ello se llevó a cabo una investigación que analizó con la Escala de Clima Social-CIES-(especial para penitenciarías), la percepción del clima social de las internas del Centro de Reinserción Social para Mujeres de Aguascalientes. El trabajo se dividió en cuatro etapas: 1) administración de la Escala-CIES-al total de población interna en el escenario de estudio, 2) tratamiento de datos, 3) a partir de los datos identificar el clima social percibido por las internas y 4) generación discusiones y conclusiones. Los resultados permitieron conocer el clima social que mantiene la institución sede del estudio, así como encontrar diferencias entre la percepción del clima social de internas consideradas ajustadas a las normas intramuros con respecto a aquellas que se consideran de riesgo.

En el texto se toma como objetivo el estudio de la estructura familiar y de las distintas variables asociadas a ella (composición, tamaño, hogares rotos, etc.) que se relacionan por una parte con otros factores biográficos y económicos y, por otra, con la percepción que los sujetos de ambos grupos (delincuentes y no delincuentes), tienen del clima familiar imperante en el seno de sus familias respectivas. Para ello,  se trabajó con una muestra de 133 sujetos varones recluidos en prisión y otra de 58 sujetos varones pertenecientes a la población general, estando equiparadas ambas muestras en las variables sexo, edad, nivel de estudios y estatus socioeconómico y que, entre otros instrumentos para la producción de datos, se emplearon las Escalas de Clima Social  (Moos y cols.)

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were any differences in perceptions of school social climate and peers in terms of bullying status, and to investigate the psychometric properties of the School Social Climate and Generalized Peer Perception Scales. The students participated from six different cities in Turkey were in secondary and high schools. The sample consisted of 1263 students (612 male, 651 female), of mean age 14.92 years (SD = 2.07). The results revealed that adolescents who were not involved both in school and cyberspace perceived the school and their teachers more positively than bullies and bully-victims, and also victims in cyberspace perceived their teachers more positively than bullies. Furthermore, not involved adolescents in school and cyberspace perceived other students in school more positively than bullies. In terms of peer perception, not involved adolescents and bullies in school and cyberspace significantly differed from bully-victims, and also not involved adolescents and bullies in school differed significantly from victims; not involved adolescents and bullies had more positive perception about their peers. Results also revealed that the Turkish adaptation of these two measurement instruments had sufficiently high validity and reliability.

In Master of Social Work programs, one of the objectives of the field practicum is the development of a professional self. A field placement agency may encourage, discourage, and/or limit the student's ability to implement social justice interventions in their work with clients which may impact their development of a professional identity as I would also like to thank my fantastic research advisor, Elaine Kersten, whose guidance and support I am deeply grateful for. And, of course, thank you to my inspiring professor, Phebe Sessions, for kindly agreeing to be my second reader. iii

Uvod: Studentske prilike stanovanja, koje odlikuju manje kontrolisani uslovi i specifična socijalna klima, mogu doprineti upotrebi alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u ovoj populaciji. Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja je da se utvrde različiti aspekti socijalne klime i načini preventivnog delovanja u studentskim domovima, kao i njihova povezanost sa učestalošću i karakteristikama upotrebe alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktvinih supstanci. Metod: Stanovanje u studentskom domu u poslednjih godinu dana bio je uslov za uključivanje ispitanika u ovo istraživanje. Za potrebe istraživanja korišćen je upitnik Korovog instituta forma za studentske domove (Community College Form). Rezultati: Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da više od 90% studenata ne zna da li postoje i smatra da ne postoje programi prevencije upotrebe alkohola i ilegalnih psihoaktivnih supstanci u studentskom domu u kom žive, da sami aktivno ne učestvuju u sprečavanju upotrebe ovih supstanci (92,38%), odnosno da atmosfera koja ...

Resumen: Este trabajo pretende estudiar las relaciones de apoyo social del alumnado en un contexto escolar intercultural, conocer el apoyo social recibido por parte de los iguales y el profesorado y comprobar si el apoyo social se relaciona positivamente con el clima social del centro escolar y la disminución de conflictos en el aula. La muestra está constituida por 512 estudiantes de centros educativos de la provincia de Málaga, donde conviven estudiantes autóctonos, inmigrantes y de etnia gitana de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 años. Los resultados indican diferencias significativas entre los estudiantes según su procedencia. El apoyo social proporcionado por los estudiantes autóctonos e inmigrantes se relaciona positivamente con el clima social y negativamente con los problemas de convivencia en el aula y con los conflictos debidos a las diferencias étnicas/culturales, aunque estas relaciones no han sido significativas para los estudiantes de etnia gitana. El apoyo proporcionado por el profesorado también correlaciona significativamente con el clima social del centro y la disminución de problemas de convivencia en el aula pero escasamente con la disminución de los conflictos debidos a las diferencias culturales. Palabras clave: Apoyo social; clima social; convivencia intercultural; percepción de conflictos.

Resumen El sistema penitenciario chileno enfrenta una crisis derivada no solo de su precaria infraestructura y la falta de acceso a programas de reinserción, sino también por diversas situaciones de abusos y violencia que ocurren al interior de ellas, siendo la violencia entre internos una muestra más de ello. La violencia al interior de los penales no solo amenaza el orden y la seguridad sino que también erosiona cualquier intento del sistema por lograr un ambiente propicio para la rehabilitación. Aunque este fenómeno se ha vuelto cotidiano, existen muy pocos estudios que hayan abordado sus causas utilizando datos empíricos en Chile. Este artículo, utilizando datos de la Primera Encuesta de Percepción de Calidad de Vida Penitenciaria que el autor dirigió en 2013 (Sanhueza, 2015; Espinoza, Martínez y Sanhueza, 2014), presenta diversas perspectivas teóricas (deprivación, importación, gestión penitenciaria) para explicar la violencia entre internos al interior de las cárceles chilenas y ofrece, asimismo, un análisis empírico basado en el modelo de regresión logística para explorar la relación entre su ocurrencia y algunas variables derivadas de los distintos modelos teóricos. Los resultados muestran una asociación positiva entre el reporte de violencia física (por otros internos) y tener una mala relación con los funcionarios (OR= 1,32) y haber estado en celda de castigo (OR=1,86); y una asociación negativa entre haber sufrido violencia física y la percepción sobre la infraestructura carcelaria (OR=0,86). Finalmente, se discuten los principales hallazgos de esta investigación de acuerdo a los resultados y al cruce de éstos con la revisión bibliográfica, se analizan algunas de sus posibilidades y limitaciones; por último, se hacen algunas recomendaciones para futuros estudios y algunas sugerencias para el rol del trabajador social en la reducción de la violencia al interior de los recintos penales.

A socio-environmental survey amongst the inhabitants of the Sumava National Park and of the Nove Hrady Mountains took place in the summers of 2003 (Sumava), 2006 and 2007 (the Nove Hrady Mts.). The main aim of the study was to record the opinions and attitudes of local inhabitants of the both regions towards environmental conditions, nature conservation, tourism, and to carry out their subsequent comparison. The objectives included that of ascertaining how and on which issues opinions and attitudes have the potential to be changed. The method of a structured interview and a random selection of interviewees provided us with 200 questionnaires in Sumava and 150 questionnaires in the Nove Hrady Mountains. The most noticeable differences between Sumava and Nove Hrady Mts. respondents were found with respect to the following topics: assessment of environmental conditions; the attitude to potential public access to the most endangered parts of the nature; perceptions about the influence of tourism on the cost of living. Similar reflections were found in the assessment of personal profit from the tourist industry in the region.

In residential care for children and youth, supporting the quality of life of children is one of the main priorities. One of the key factors in providing good quality of care in these organizations, in relation to the children's development, is developing a positive living (group) climate. Even though some key elements in achieving such a climate have been identified, it seems to remain difficult to present a clearcut framework that allows residential care to implement a positive living group climate in their day-today life. Furthermore, we have very little evidence of the individual and systemic elements that support or inhibit organizations from developing a positive living group climate. Therefore, we want to elucidate these elements. The objectives of this study were to investigate: (1) how respondents perceive a positive living group climate, and (2) which tensions they experience in relation to establishing a positive living group climate. The results indicate that respondents have ideas about the necessary main themes for establishing a positive living group climate, but that it remains difficult to grasp exactly which elements are necessary to establish such a climate. Furthermore, issues on the organizational and policy level complicate the development of a positive living climate. In this context, the respondents struggle with how to define what kind of professionalism is needed to create a positive living climate. These important outcomes are further discussed in this article.

This study aims to examine the lecturers' teaching effectiveness on business faculty undergraduate students' academic performance in the Malaysian Public University, since the Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) intends to achieve quality education.

This article refers to the use of digital resources and multimedia on early stages of innovative music education. The innovative aspect within the text is mainly discussed in context of audiation. Theory of universal music learning, according to Gordon, is mostly directed at teachers. The text presents the possibility of implementing E. E. Gordon's theory into professional training of early music education teachers at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The author recognises the importance of shaping research and musical instrument technical (including interdisciplinary) competences of future teachers as they help students use not only practical (pedagogical), but also empirical work of E.E. Gordon's theory. Additionally, the text presents the reports from research on the application of E.E. Gordon's Theory, carried out by students of early school and innovative music education at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Music Fairytale "e-Audiation Songbook" is the first interdisciplinary project, which is the result of cooperation between music pedagogy, computer science and mechatronics students. Despite the fact that the application has not been finished yet, it is going to be implemented, tested, assessed and evaluated (in terms of content and achievement). The initiation of such activities gives ground for long-lasting pedagogical research on academic instruction quality of future early school music education teachers, when it comes to organizing their knowledge and skills via use of E.E. Gordon's theory in Poland

This paper analyses the setting of a new mood in the public sphere in the last eleven years of the dictatorship in Brazil, 1974-1985. To comprehend the general dynamics of this new mood, there is discussion of the profuse evocations of the expression "climate of openness" (clima de abertura) by government and opposition actors during the long, controlled process of transition to democracy. Firstly, a brief introduction of the opening process (abertura) is made. Then, research is presented on citations about the "climate of openness" from three of Brazil's most important newspapers-O Globo, Estado de São Paulo and Folha de São Paulo-delineating how these evocations were part of the disputes over the atmosphere of the public debate during the opening process. It is showed that, progressively, this new mood was spread to others social spheres, and it has, as relevant vehicle, art and, specially, music. Brazilian popular music became, during the 60’ s, a significant political arena, not only for discursive elements, but
also for sentimental references that influenced the mood of the public sphere. Then, discussing with public sphere theories, the disputes and control of the public sphere are articulated with a more affective, emotional approach to these theories, bringing to the debate on the decentralization of discourse in the public sphere – as a criticism of Habermas assumptions – recent contributions on mood and atmosphere in social theory. Lastly, in accordance with Dahlberg’s argument that public sphere excludes aesthetic-affective modes of communication, it is discussed how the setting of a new mood in the public sphere is also a way to marginalize and exclude political actors, particularly those with persistent and undisguised rage after years of political repression.

This article presents recommendations for supporting out LGBTQ+ collegiate varsity athletes based on self-descriptions of their experiences. Within a larger quantitative survey, 63 former and current varsity athletes, who were out as LGBTQ+ while competing, wrote about their experiences. We then thematically analyzed their responses. Participants describe a double bind in which they desire more specific support for their unique LGBTQ+ identity at an institutional level yet request that athletic programs not spectacularize that difference at an individual level. Athletes suggest that programs signal their support of LGBTQ+ athletes more proactively and through the use of safe zones, increased educational opportunities for allies, and more visible and vocal pro-LGBTQ+ stances from those in leadership positions. Practical implications, such as an LGBTQ+conscious approach to supporting athletes, are discussed.

Debido a que tradicionalmente el número de mujeres privadas de libertad ha sido menor que el de hombres, los estudios sobre prisiones en España solo comenzaron a prestar atención a las especificidades de la población reclusa femenina a partir de los noventa. Desde entonces, varios trabajos han abordado el perfil socioeconómico de las reclusas y numerosos informes e investigaciones han señalado la discriminación que sufren las mujeres en el sistema penitenciario español. La presente revisión bibliográfica tiene por objetivo mostrar los distintos tipos de discriminación que sufren las mujeres privadas de libertad y que hacen que sus condiciones de cumplimiento de pena sean más duras que las de los hombres. Además, también se interroga si lo perciben así las mujeres ¿Existen diferencias en la percepción sobre calidad de vida de los reclusos durante su encarcelamiento en función del sexo? La importancia de esta revisión bibliográfica radica en que pone de relieve la necesidad de conocer las percepciones que tanto reclusos como reclusas tienen sobre su calidad de vida en prisión. Una peor calidad de vida en prisión se asocia a mayores tasas de reincidencia una vez que los reclusos son liberados, por lo que conocer las percepciones de esa calidad de vida proporciona herramientas a las autoridades para, en el caso de que sea necesario, tomar las medidas oportunas al objeto de mejorar las condiciones de las prisiones, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta las diferencias en función del sexo.

The prison isolates and hinders the creation of an environment in which family and social relationships develop positively. In the personal networks of inmates both processes of social support and conflict with their relatives and close ones are given. In this article are described the characteristics of the women prisoners’ support networks in Spain and how interpersonal conflicts affect on the configuration of those networks. We analyze the results of a research that has had a sample of 599 female participants (538 by survey respondents and 61) in a national study that has covered 42 prisons. The data are quantitative (treated with the SPSS 20 software version) and qualitative (analyzed with interpretation and content analysis techniques). The results lead us to point out that the prison intervention has in consideration the positive inmates interpersonal relationships rather than focusing all their attention those family and social ties that are shown as negative or risky.

Artykuł zawiera rezultaty badań na temat klimatu społecznego zespołów kuratorskich. W badaniach wykorzystano dwie skale: Krótką Skalę Oceny Klimatu Społeczego Zespołów Kuratorskich autorstwa Bartłomieja Skowrońskiego oraz Skalę Wypalenia Sił autorstwa Wiesławy Okły i Stanisławy Steuden. W badaniach wzięli udział kuratorzy sądowi z okręgów: warszawsko-praskiego, warszawskiego, włocławskiego, sieradzkiego oraz bydgoskiego. Wyniki badań ujawniły istotne korelacje między klimatem społecznym, a wypaleniem zawodowym kuratorów.

Klimat społeczny zdaniem Pytki 1 to "zbiór subiektywnie postrzeganych przez wychowanków i wychowawców charakterystycznych cech, sytuacji i zdarzeń, będących względnie trwałymi skutkami funkcjonowania w ramach przyjętego systemu organizacyjnego i pedagogicznego, kształtujący motywacje i zachowania jednostek i grup społecznych tej instytucji". Z kolei Konopczyński 2 definiuje sprzyjający klimat społeczny jako: "sprzyjający innowacyjnej i niekonwencjonalnej działalności pedagogicznej układ stosunków interpersonalnych i wzajemnych relacji osobowych personelu wychowawczego i administracyjnego oraz innych osób z najbliższego środowiska" 3. Obaj autorzy z pojęciem klimatu społecznego łączą określony skutek. Konopczyński 4 określa że korzystny klimat społeczny sprzyja innowacyjnej i niekonwencjonalnej działalności pedagogicznej, Pytka 5 z kolei wskazuje na to, że klimat społeczny kształtuje motywacje i zachowania jednostek i grup społecznych. Zatem obie definicje łączą klimat społeczny z pojęciem efektywności, spełnia on rolę pośredniczącą, sprzęgającą aksjologię pedagogiczną instytucji, jej strukturę formalną, a także otoczenie instytucji 6. Na klimat społeczny wpływają zachowania wychowawców, zachowania wychowanków oraz struktura formalna instytucji, wówczas możemy mówić o wpływie bezpośrednim. Wpływ pośredni na klimat społeczny mają: aksjologia pedagogiczna,

RESUMEN: El presente artículo tiene como objetivo describir el tipo de acompañamiento institucional recibido por la población femenina en el medio abierto del Sistema Penitenciario Español, como ayuda a la inclusión social y la reinserción. Este trabajo se enmarca dentro del proyecto de investigación I+D+I "Procesos de reinserción y acompañamiento a mujeres en semilibertad (ref. EDU2016-79322-R) cuya metodología ha empleado métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, de forma complementaria, aplicados a los 310 cuestionarios mixtos y a las 67 entrevistas semiestructuradas, diseñados ad hoc, en 31 centros penitenciarios que representan los distintos recursos de cumplimiento de condena en medio abierto. Se ha realizado un análisis descriptivo de los resultados de cinco preguntas del cuestionario de mujeres relativo al acompañamiento, tipo y profesionales implicados en el mismo. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que para las mujeres del estudio es necesario el acompañamiento para un 85.2% a nivel general, recibiéndolo un 31.3%. El número de profesionales que participan en el mismo es por lo general importante siendo la figura del trabajador/a social, el/la educador/a y el/la psicólogo/a con el 54.2%, 46.8% y 32.9% respectivamente los más solicitados. El acompañamiento socioeducativo facilita la identificación de un proceso de cambio personal, la reflexión, el apoyo y el empoderamiento personal.

The aim of the present study was to test whether teacher–student relationship (TSR) quality and student–student relationship (SSR) quality at class level and class moral disengagement (CMD), considered together in a single model, were related to class prevalence of victims (CPV) of bullying. A sample of 899 Swedish children was recruited from 43 elementary school classes. The participants filled out a questionnaire. Because the focus of the present study was on class behaviours, all analyses were conducted on aggregated class-level data. A path analysis revealed that the prevalence of victims was likely to be lower in classes with more positive teacher–student and SSRs and lower levels of CMD. TSR quality was not directly linked to CPV, but indirectly through its direct association with SSR quality. SSR quality was negatively associated with CMD and both were directly related to CPV. Results suggest that caring, supportive and warm SSRs in the class should be considered as a crucial protective factor against bullying victimisation. Further, the findings suggest that CMD has to be addressed in bullying prevention.

La presente investigación, tuvo como objetivo general: Determinar la relación entre el Clima Social Penitenciario y Bienestar psicológico en los internos por el delito de peligro común y omisión asistencial familiar en el Establecimiento Penitenciario Cusco Varones en el año 2020.

As part of a larger online survey, we conducted an internet-based study that included both qualitative and quantitative data from a national non-probability sample to examine how sexual minority women and gender non-conforming individuals described their experiences and concerns after the 2016 election. The current study explores responses in relation to local social and political climate. Quantitative analysis of survey responses (N=969) examined changes in participant concerns relative to state policy context (number of positive policies offering equal rights and protections for LGBTQ communities) and size of community (e.g., urban and rural). Analysis of narrative responses to open-ended questions (n=605) explored experiences and perceptions of safety and support relative to geographic location. Quantitative analyses showed no difference in levels of concern by size of community of residence and greater concerns among participants in higher equality states compared to those in negative equality states. Qualitative analyses revealed two broad categories of themes: perceptions of safety and support in the state, region or local context (safe havens and hostile locations); and strategies for navigating in the current or changing local social and political landscape (hunkering down in safe places and with safe people, increasing vigilance and evasion, fleeing unsafe locations, and paving the road to a better future). Findings underscore the broad impact of national elections on perception of safety and civil rights at all levels of the social and political environment.

Cet article a pour objectif de résoudre l’énigme du déploiement à partir de 1990, puis de l’abandon en 2012, d’un dispositif d’évaluation de l’état d’esprit des salariés dans un groupe français de grande distribution. Il est fondé sur une enquête ethnographique menée au sein du département des ressources humaines du groupe et auprès de l’une des animatrices locales du dispositif, ainsi que sur des entretiens réalisés avec des cadres dirigeants et des salariés. Il traite de la diversité des usages de ce dispositif, appelé « les écoutes du personnel ». Il montre qu’un outil d’évaluation peut être simultanément utilisé à des fins diverses par un même groupe d’usagers. Si certaines d’entre elles font l’objet d’un large affichage, y compris à destination de publics extérieurs à l’organisation, d’autres sont poursuivies plus discrètement et n’apparaissent qu’à la faveur de l’observation directe des différentes utilisations l’outil. L’article montre en outre que ses appropriations par différents groupes d’usagers produisent des effets globaux qui peuvent n’être voulus par personne tout en étant le résultat des fins visées par chacun. Ce faisant, nous plaidons pour une approche microsociologique des dispositifs d’évaluation centrée sur la description de leurs usages en proposant, pour la conduire, de mobiliser la notion de référence d’évaluation.

Este artículo analiza la percepción del clima y el apoyo sociales de una muestra de personas presas (n:150, 43% mujeres). Desde una perspectiva interaccionista, la escala de Clima Social en Instituciones Penitenciarias-CIES (Moos, Moos y Tricket, 1995) y el cuestionario ASORPE (Hombrados, García y Moscato, 2005) han permitido medir ambas variables y las diferencias en cuanto al género, visitas y reincidencia. Los resultados revelan que todas las personas consultadas perciben un deficitario clima social. Esta percepción se repite en todas las subescalas y resulta especialmente llamativa en aquellas relacionadas con la ayuda, la expresión y la autonomía. Destaca el papel de los vínculos entre personas presas y personal penitenciario, ya que el apoyo social recibido y percibido de este grupo correlaciona con todas las subescalas de Clima Social, excepto con la de control. Sin embargo, el personal penitenciario recibe una valoración más baja de las personas internas, en comparación a los demás grupos analizados. Por otro lado, cobra relevancia el estudio de la reincidencia ligada a un deterioro de las visitas y del apoyo social durante los ingresos repetidos en prisión. En definitiva, este estudio revela que el factor relacional debe ser atendido, desde la investigación y el trabajo con personas presas, como un componente clave en la optimización de las intervenciones que persigan la mejora del clima social de las prisiones.

Correctional facilities have a discernible social climate, or collection of contextual properties that derive from perceptions of both staff and prisoners. These properties include the physical, organizational, social, and emotional characteristics of correctional institutions. Ohio\u27s Correctional Institution Inspection Committee (CIIC) requested research assistance to assess the validity of their adult and youth surveys, which are administered during the CIIC\u27s regular inspections of facilities. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of these instruments and the process by which they are administered. The study builds on the existing line of research on prison social climate surveys

This work analyzes the results of the World Social Capital Monitor (WSCM), a worldwide open access Social Capital Survey for citizens to better understand the social climate in their countries, for the Western Balkans; Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia between 2018 and 2021. The World Social Capital Monitor was developed by the Basel Institute of Commons and Economics for the United Nations Sustainable Development partnership. Within the UN framework, it is being used for promoting Sustainable Development Goals and has been selected for the SDGs: 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). While all 17 SDGs depend on social goods, assessing and enhancing social goods is one of the few approaches to addressing all the 17 SDGs in one. WSCM consists of open access online survey assessing the social capital of countries around the globe (currently conducted in 50 languages in 300 cities by 2021). Timelines and comments, for eight social goods (climate, trust, measures, taxes, local investment, helpfulness, friendliness, and hospitality) provided by the survey, have been published annually since 2017 for each country affiliated with the WSCM. This work, comparing and contrasting the results of the survey among the Western Balkan Countries between 2018 and 2021, will provide a better understanding of the social climate in the region, involving the impact of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which is considered the greatest health crisis in the past one hundred years.

Als Fazit bleibt festzuhalten: Es gibt eine Reihe von konkurrierenden Ansatzen in der Risikowahrnehmungsforschung, die sich nicht gegenseitig ausschliesen, sondern als Elemente eines multifaktoriellen Zugangs zu einem vielschichtigen Phanomen betrachtet werden konnen. Umso wichtiger ist es deshalb, diese vielen Facetten des Phanomens auch durch ein entsprechend komplexes empirisches Forschungsdesign abzubilden. Da ein Grosteil der empirischen Forschung in der Risikowahrnehmung in den siebziger Jahren stattgefunden hat und wenige Studien vorliegen, die den Anspruch erheben, den vollen Umfang psychologischer, soziologischer und kultureller Variablen zu erfassen, hat die Akademie fur Technikfolgenabschatzung in Baden-Wrttemberg im Jahr 2001 eine reprasentative Umfrage zum Thema Risikowahrnehmung in der Bevolkerung Baden-Wurttembergs durchgefuhrt. Daran wurde eine qualitative Untersuchung auf der Basis eines Samples mit 62 Befragten angeschlossen. Das Ziel der Studie war die Bestimmung ...
