Abstract

Research on bilingualism has traditionally focused on its effects on language proficiency, yet a significant gap exists in understanding its broader cognitive impacts, particularly regarding executive functions and brain structure. This study aimed to bridge that gap by examining the multifaceted influences of bilingualism on cognitive function, incorporating historical and philosophical perspectives to provide a comprehensive analysis. Using a systematic literature review approach, supported by neuroimaging studies, this research explored how bilingualism enhances brain plasticity and executive functions, such as attentional control and task-switching. Historical analysis reveals the shift from early 20th-century deficit views of bilingualism to the recognition of its cognitive advantages. Philosophical discussions further contextualize these findings, addressing the ethical considerations of cognitive enhancement and the mind-brain relationship in bilingual contexts. The results suggest that bilingualism confers distinct cognitive benefits, reshaping both brain structures and functions. Based on these findings, this study offers key recommendations for improving future research methodologies, emphasizing the need for more diverse and standardized studies, and suggests practical counseling approaches that account for the psychological and philosophical complexities of bilingual identity. These insights challenge traditional views on cognitive development and have significant implications for educational policies, counseling strategies, and future neuroscience research.

Abstract

Various studies have found differences in perceived social support, self-esteem, academic fatigue, and academic engagement between men and women. Yet, at this current research location, preliminary data shows the contrary. This study examined undergraduates’ perceived school support, self-esteem, academic fatigue, and engagement in two public Nigerian universities. The cross-sectional quantitative research using the non-experimental design was employed in the study, implementing self-concordance and demands-resources theories. The population of the study was undergraduate students undertaking degree courses at two public universities in Southwest Nigeria, and participants were selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. An instrument tagged "School Support and Undergraduates' Self-esteem, Academic Engagement, and Fatigue Questionnaire" was used for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a t-test. The study's findings have shown that undergraduates’ gender influences their perceived school support and academic fatigue, with higher scores seen in male students. However, there was no significant difference in self-esteem and academic engagement between male and female undergraduates. The study recommends that efforts be concentrated on ensuring continued gender equality and gender-balanced dynamics within the school context. Implications of the study and future research suggestions are proffered.

Abstract

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have often been wrongly viewed as asexual. However, research suggests that their romantic and sexual experiences are more nuanced and deserving of further exploration. The study aimed to foster a more supportive and understanding environment for individuals with ASD as they navigate the complexities of relationships. This study delved into the romantic and sexual lives of a young man with ASD aged 22 years old to understand how his condition influenced his partner preferences and relationships with friends, classmates, and family. Through a semi-structured interview and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the study uncovered three key themes: (a) navigating social interactions and boundaries; (b) understanding love and relationships; and (c) desires and expectations in relationships. These insights highlighted the need for tailored sex education, family support, and positive media portrayals. According to the study, a young man with ASD has difficulty interacting socially, particularly when it comes to recognizing cues and establishing limits with others. His romantic aspirations may be impacted by his inability to comprehend emotions and societal prejudices. The results show that to normalize his experiences and promote healthy relationships, family support, specialized sex education, and favorable media portrayals are essential.

Abstract

Although previous studies have investigated factors contributing to compulsive shopping, the specific role of alexithymia and its influence on emotion regulation in predicting this behavior remains underexplored. The study explored the link between alexithymia and compulsive shopping in young adults, focusing on whether emotion regulation difficulties predict problematic shopping behavior. A sample of 220 Italian young adults was assessed using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Shopping Behaviour Scale (SBS). Multiple regression analysis revealed that alexithymia's three dimensions explained 4.8% of the variance in compulsive shopping (F=3.657; p=0.013). Externally oriented thinking was the only significant predictor, while difficulty identifying and describing feelings were not. The findings suggest that individuals more focused on external realities are at higher risk for compulsive shopping. Improving emotional awareness and regulation may help reduce this behavior in young adults.

Abstract

While various theories provide valuable insights, they do not fully account for the complex interplay between family dynamics and religious affiliations as a dual system influencing adolescent behaviour. Hence, this study investigates the influence of religious affiliations and family dynamics in reducing substance abuse among adolescents aged 15-25 years. Using an expost facto research design, a sample of 400 adolescents was drawn through a purposive sampling. Standardised scales were employed to measure religious engagement, family dynamics, and substance abuse behaviours. Data were analysed using linear regression for the first two hypotheses and multiple regressions for the third hypothesis. The results showed that family dynamics significantly predicted substance abuse reduction among adolescents [R = .464, R² = .216, F(1,398) = 109.151, p < .001]. Additionally, religious affiliations were found to significantly contribute to substance abuse reduction [R = .544, R² = .296, F(1,398) = 167.482, p < .001]. When combined, family dynamics and religious affiliations also significantly predicted substance abuse reduction [R = .593, R² = .352, F(2,397) = 107.246, p < .001]. These findings suggest that religious organisations should actively engage adolescents in activities that promote healthy lifestyles and encourage health-seeking behaviours when addiction is identified. Also, communities should encourage adolescents to participate in youth religious groups, which offer peer support and mentorship grounded in faith-based principles.

Abstract

From the perspective of counselling psychology, counselling is important in the overall development of school children; thus, it should be provided to all learners. However, this is not the current reality in Tanzanian primary schools. This study explores the provision of counselling services and strategies applied by the teacher- counsellors in selected primary schools in Tanzania. Data were collected through interviews with five teacher counsellors in five schools. The findings show that counselling services offered predominantly included individual, developmental, academic, and group counselling. The counselling services targeted personal pupils’ problems such as nervousness, low achievements, and social related problems. Mainly, four strategies were used in the study area: self-disclosure, summarizing and reframing, constructive confrontation and personal centred strategy. As such counselling services should be integrated into the overall school development plan, and teachers should effectively utilize demonstrated strategies to positively impact pupils' general development
