Abstract

Cross-dressing refers to the act of donning garments often associated with the opposite gender. Throughout history, cross-dressing has been extensively recorded and is frequently linked to stereotypes such as deviance, fetishism, exhibitionism, sexual deviance, and homosexuality. Coping mechanisms refer to psychological strategies employed by the subconscious mind to shield individuals from feelings of anxiety, social repercussions, and unmanageable circumstances in the immediate present. This study aimed to elucidate that Cross-Dressing is not just attributable to perceptions of sexual deviance and transvestism, but rather, other factors contribute to an individual's adoption of Cross-Dressing. The research methodology employed in this study is a single-design case study. The study found that the participants experienced the loss of their beloved mother as a catalyst for adopting a Cross-Dressing lifestyle, perceiving it as a means to compensate for the void created by her death. The findings of this study indicate that cross-dressing behaviour serves as a long-lasting method for individuals to repress their emotions related to loss rather than being primarily attributed to transvestism or preconceptions of sexual deviance associated with the subject of investigation.

Abstract

Prejudice is a pervasive issue in diverse societies, and addressing it at an early age can help reduce its long-term impact. This study explores the role of empathy in reducing prejudice among elementary school students in diverse cultural settings. The research aims to examine whether empathy training can effectively decrease prejudicial attitudes in students from different cultural backgrounds and whether such interventions are equally impactful across various cultural contexts. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining pre- and post-intervention surveys with in-depth interviews in a sample of 300 students from three culturally diverse elementary schools. The quantitative data, analyzed using paired t-tests and ANOVA, revealed a significant reduction in prejudicial attitudes among students who participated in empathy-building activities. The qualitative findings, derived from interviews with teachers and students, supported these results, suggesting that empathy training fostered greater understanding and respect for diversity. The study concludes that empathy plays a crucial role in reducing prejudice in young children and that culturally tailored empathy interventions are effective in diverse elementary school environments. This research emphasizes the importance of early interventions in promoting inclusivity and tolerance, offering practical insights for educators and policymakers in multicultural education.

Abstract

The increasing use of social media has raised concerns about its psychological impact on young adolescents, particularly concerning their self-esteem and body image. This study explores the effects of social media engagement on the self-esteem and body image perceptions of pre-adolescent students aged 10-12 years. The research aimed to assess how the frequency and nature of social media use contribute to body dissatisfaction and self-esteem levels among pre-adolescents. A mixed-method approach was employed, using surveys and in-depth interviews with 200 pre-adolescent students from four schools. The quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed to gain deeper insights into personal experiences. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between social media usage and self-esteem, with increased exposure to idealized body images linked to higher levels of body dissatisfaction. Moreover, participants reported feeling pressure to conform to social media beauty standards, which impacted their body image perceptions. In conclusion, the findings highlight the importance of managing social media exposure for young adolescents to mitigate its potential negative effects on self-esteem and body image. Educational and parental interventions are essential to support pre-adolescents in developing healthier social media habits.

Abstract

Social media is part of the digital change that colors the world of communication. The increasingly rapid development brings changes in the language structure adopted from online platforms. The TikTok and Instagram applications that are currently often used by teenagers present an informal language style. This informal language is called slang. Slang is often used by teenagers to simplify language and find identity. However, this often leads to hate speech, violence, and even impoliteness in communication. So this study aims to pay special attention to the challenges posed by slang. Politeness as a necessity must not fade among teenagers. This will also affect acts of violence, hatred and other immoral acts. In this study, researchers used quantitative methods. This is useful for determining the influence of the use of slang among teenagers in communicating. Comparison of views from the questions asked will be the results and discussions. The results of this study in the form of TikTok and Instagram allow teenagers to create and spread new slang quickly. Usage tends to adapt words and phrases according to trends and popular content on this platform. Teenagers who use social media intensively are more likely to use slang in everyday communication. The conclusion of this study is that social media, especially TikTok and Instagram, contribute significantly to the development of slang among teenagers. These platforms accelerate the spread and adoption of new terms, enable language creativity and help build group identity.
