Adolescent boys and girls (n = 347) from the Miramichi region in New Brunswick, Canada, participated in a multivariate study of factors related to running away behavior. Results suggest that runaways tend to be boys and girls who come from incomplete families where relationships with the parents are perceived as difficult, who feel depressed and have suicidal thoughts, and who have a history of drug use and theft.
One hundred seventeen boys and 149 girls participated in a study investigating whether adolescent running away behavior is an expression of passive (internalization) or active (externalization) avoidance. Results of principal component analyses indicate that boys' running away behavior is associated with passive avoidance and internalization, whereas for girls the behavior reflects a mixed pattern simultaneously expressing withdrawal and overt deviancy.
The relationship between Dogmatism and three subscales of Levenson's Locus of Control measure was examined with 36 female undergraduates as subjects. Results supported the hypothesis that internality, across all three domains of the Locus of Control construct, is related to a cognitively differentiated personality structure as measured by the Dogmatism scale.
This article proposes that the periodic use of the video camera can generate a higher level of student interest, involvement, and productivity in the everyday tasks of the beginning foreign language course. It expands the range of possible uses for the video camera in the classroom as a means of generating guided, spontaneous, and real use of the foreign language in vocabulary expansion and reinforcement and in the presentation and illustration of grammar points. Four techniques for the use of the video camera in the classroom are described as well as possible outcomes and benefits derived from the approach.
