AbstractMechanisms by which the relations between different parenting behaviors and children's prosocial and problem behaviors occur are the focus of the current study. Supportive and nonsupportive emotion socialization practices of mothers were considered as potential mediators. Further, the moderator role of gender was explored. Participants were 228 mothers of 6‐ to 11‐year‐old children living in Ankara, Turkey. Scales assessing parenting behaviors (specifically, positive parenting and inconsistent discipline), maternal reactions to children's negative emotions, and prosocial and problem behaviors of children were completed by the mothers. The results revealed that supportive emotion socialization practices fully mediated the relation between positive parenting behaviors and both boys' and girls' prosocial behaviors. In contrast, nonsupportive emotion socialization practices partially mediated the relation between inconsistent parenting behaviors and problem behaviors, but only for girls. Findings indicated that girls were more vulnerable to their mothers' inconsistent behaviors possibly because mother–daughter dyads are more likely to use emotion‐related language and to discuss emotions than mother–son dyads from a very early age.

DOI 10.24917/20837275.10.2.7Głównym celem reportera / fotoreportera jest uchwycenie interesującego, szokującego materiału, który mógłby mieć wpływ na emocje czytelnika. To dlatego bieda, cierpienie i śmierć stają się najważniejszymi tematami, a reporter podąża ich ścieżką, bez względu na to, czy takie działania wydają się moralne, czy nie. Wówczas jednak pisarz może łatwo stracić z oczu swój główny cel, człowieka. Człowieka, który odsłania całą nagą prawdę, odsłania cierpienie, mając nadzieję na poprawę swojego losu istoty, by na koniec zostać porzuconym przez reportera i stać się po prostu jeszcze jedną dobrze sprzedaną historią. Celem mojego artykułu będzie przyjrzenie się amoralnej postawie reportera i relacji: reporter / fotoreporter – główny bohater tekstu. Analiza oparta będzie na najnowszej książce Wojciecha Tochmana – Eli, Eli. Aby bardziej uwypuklić główną tezę artykułu, współczesny reportaż skonfrontowany został z tym z okresu międzywojennego, reprezentowanym przez pionierów reportażu społecznego – Irenę Krzywicką i Wandę Melcer. Celem artykuły jest wskazanie ewolucji gatunku, jego transformacji i ich przyczyn.A Vulture – the Dark Side of Contemporary ReportageThe main goal of a reporter / photojournalist is to capture some interesting, shocking material, one that would affect the emotions of a reader. Therefore, poverty, suffering and death become the most important, and the reporter follows their path no matter whether such actions seem moral or not. The writer might then easily lose the main focus, a man. A man who reveals all the naked truth, uncovers the suffering, hoping to improve his or her being. At the end, such people are abandoned by the reporter and they become just a well-sold history. The purpose of my paper will be to look closer at the amoral attitude of a reporter and the relationship: reporter/ photojournalist – the main character of a text. My analysis will be based on Wojciech Tochman's latest reporter's book – Eli, Eli. To prove my thesis more distinctly, I will confront the contemporary reportage with the one from the Interwar period represented by the pioneers of social reportage – Irena Krzywicka and Wanda Melcer. My goal will be to indicate the evolution of the genre, its transformations and their causes.

DOI 10.24917/20837275.10.2.5Tematem artykułu jest opis geograficzno-politycznego dyskursu wpisanego w międzywojenną krajoznawczą serię wydawniczą "Cuda Polski". Zawarte w poszczególnych tomach opisy regionów przedwojennej Rzeczypospolitej zostały poddane przez autorów zabiegom symbolicznej polonizacji, sprowadzającej narodowościowe zróżnicowanie polskiego państwa do wymiaru etnograficznej barwności. Ujawnieniu tych ideologicznych mechanizmów posłużyły w artykule odwołania do badawczych założeń geografii wyobrażonej, polityki miejsca i polityki pamięci.Between geography and politics. About a certain interwar touring discourseThe subject of the article is a description of the geographical-political discourse entered in the interwar tourist series "The Wonders of Poland". The descriptions of regions of the prewar Republic of Poland included in the individual volumes were subjected by the authors to the symbolic polonization, which reduced the national diversity of the Polish state to the ethnographic patchwork dimension. The disclosure of these ideological mechanisms was enabled in this article by references to the research assumptions of imaginative geography, politics of place and politics of memory.

Social media is an increasingly prominent platform for sharing information about current social issues. In the recent case of the fatal shooting of unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown by a White police officer in 2014, social media was a major influence in the mobilization of social movements including Black Lives Matter (BLM). This study explores the relationship between the use of social networking (SN) websites for policing-related content, beliefs about inequality, and engagement in racial justice movements. Students at a large university ( N = 539) completed an online survey that measured social attitudes focused on policing, inequality, and social movements. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses tested the effects of individuals' awareness of oppression and privilege, and SN site use on both (1) support and (2) participation in racial justice movements. Results found that SN website use for policing information was positively related to both support and participation in protests and BLM. Further, in predicting support for protests, this relationship was stronger for individuals who were higher in awareness of oppression and privilege, compared to those who were lower. This study highlights the importance of understanding how social beliefs interact with SN site use to impact social justice engagement.

Artisanal cultures of work and skills transmission provide a useful point of contrast from which to think about the renewed interest in skills development as a formal, institutionalized process of training and certification for discrete and standardized skills. This article traces the transformation of practices of skill in the context of technological change in the artisanal fisheries of Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, to explore a set of linked questions about skills and work: How expansively or narrowly should skills be understood? What can we learn from traditional modes of skills transmission? As technology makes redundant many of the traditional skills, are we seeing a 'degradation' of work? A focus on fishing, a traditionally caste-bound occupation, also opens up questions regarding the work that skills do within a political economy, both in reproducing a given social order, and in enabling change. In tracing processes of labour recruitment in the mechanized fisheries, the article offers a further reflection, about the extent to which skills matter in securing employment, given the continued importance of networks of caste, kinship and village-based community.

Abstract. In recent years, flow-like landslides have extensively affected pyroclastic covers in the Campania region in southern Italy, causing human suffering and conspicuous economic damages. Due to the high criticality of the area, a proper assessment of future variations in event occurrences due to expected climate changes is crucial. The study assesses the temporal variation in flow-like landslide hazard for a section of the A3 "Salerno–Napoli" motorway, which runs across the toe of the Monte Albino relief in the Nocera Inferiore municipality. Hazard is estimated spatially depending on (1) the likelihood of rainfall-induced event occurrence within the study area and (2) the probability that the any specific location in the study area will be affected during the runout. The probability of occurrence of an event is calculated through the application of Bayesian theory. Temporal variations due to climate change are estimated up to the year 2100 through an ensemble of high-resolution climate projections, accounting for current uncertainties in the characterization of variations in rainfall patterns. Reach probability, or defining the probability that a given spatial location is affected by flow-like landslides, is calculated spatially based on a distributed empirical model. The outputs of the study predict substantial increases in occurrence probability over time for two different scenarios of future socioeconomic growth and atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.

Nous étudions un mécanisme d'incitation simple qui décrit le comportement optimal d'un pays ciblé par un groupe terroriste étranger. Le pays est incertain quant à la force des terroristes et peut décider d'acquérir de telles informations auprès de la communauté accueillant les terroristes. Nous soulignons un nouveau compromis entre le durcissement de la cible – i.e. , atténuer l'incidence d'une attaque en renforçant les contrôles internes et améliorer la protection des citoyens – et les mesures militaires préventives visant à éradiquer le problème à sa racine – i.e. , une attaque dans le pays d'accueil des terroristes. Nous montrons que, sous réserve d'être informé de la force des terroristes, le pays ne s'engage dans une attaque préventive que lorsqu'il est confronté à une menace suffisamment sérieuse et lorsque les normes de la communauté favorables aux terroristes sont faibles. Pourtant, contrairement à la littérature existante, nous montrons qu'il est optimal que le pays n'acquiert des informations que lorsque ces normes sont suffisamment fortes et lorsque ces informations préalables sur la force des terroristes sont insuffisantes.

Une entreprise doit investir pour fournir un service à une autorité publique. L'autorité publique peut, une fois l'investissement privé et l'incertitude concernant la valeur du service réalisés, fournir ce service par ses propres moyens. Si une telle intervention peut améliorer l'efficacité ex post, elle réduit les incitations à investir ex ante et le bien-être social. Nous étudions différentes modalités de l'intervention de l'autorité publique (possibilité d'investir seulement, ou possibilité de négocier avec l'entreprise sous la menace de duplication de l'investissement) suivant l'information qui est à sa disposition. Nos résultats suggèrent qu'autoriser l'autorité publique à négocier avec l'entreprise améliore le bien-être.

Based on Foucault's work on governmentality, the purpose of this study is to examine the socio-cultural influences of media discourses that have been reproduced and spread in Korea's neo-liberal society through weight-loss reality TV shows. After neo-liberalism was established as a political ideology in Korea, weight-loss reality programs, which contain significant neo-liberal characteristics, have risen in popularity among ordinary Korean women. The popularity of female-oriented pop media culture has generated the idea of self-body care that now plays a powerful role in efficiently reproducing good female citizens who are able to be governed at a distance. This study particularly focuses on analyzing significant media discourse that tends to prompt ordinary girls and women into donning the role of a neo-liberal subject by taking care of their bodies. The major points include (1) producing a feminized, skinny body, rather than a healthy body; (2) defining clear boundaries between the normal and abnormal body by clothing size; (3) re-generating dominant female body discourse by a group of lifestyle designers; and (4) labeling female bodies that have failed in body-care. In conclusion, the study emphasizes significant cultural influences of the diet reality shows that operate as a cultural medium to efficiently produce a neo-liberal body.

Self-help books are frequently criticised by social scientists, who often impute problematic effects (on individuals and on society) to their reading. This article intends to show why this phenomenon needs to be studied through a theory of practice which includes the reception process. Drawing upon 55 interviews and 297 letters from self-help book readers, the article questions the practice of self-help reading in its own relevance system to show how readers use these books with a need for effectiveness and conduct different inquiries about their credibility. I finally argue that this empirical stage not only does not impair a critical perspective on self-help books but might actually improve it.
