“…It means the students still believed that this activity was useful and practical for them as well as able to contribute to their success. It is in line with the research of Md Jais et al (2018) and Piragasam et al (2013), in which music is useful for gifted students to sharpen their talents and accommodate emotional problems. 'Music in Film' enrichment activities truly attracted the interest of gifted students' as they are interested to explore new things especially in the field of technology (Mann, 1994).…”

“…Music is a subject that may fulfil gifted students' needs. Maslow's theory of human needs emphasises music as part of the highest need of self-actualisation, which an individual feels at the peak of his or her ability (Piragasam et al, 2013). As gifted students face asynchronous development where their chronological age is not matched with their mental age, as mentioned by Md Jais et al (2021), music becomes an intervention to stabilise their emotions and further reduce psychological issues among gifted students.…”

“…Furthermore, as music has emotional and psychological effects on individuals, it heightens the characteristics of selfactualisation and the personality of a gifted individual (Piragasam et al, 2013). Nonetheless, it is found that most schools are focussing on STEM activities and have marginalised music (Brewin, 2016;Pepper, 2019).…”

Music is not only an important subject in general education, but it particularly serves gifted students who face various psychological issues not encountered by their ‘normal’ peers. Nonetheless, it is found that not all schools are implementing proper music lessons due to the focus on STEM subjects. This paper provides an overview of developing music enrichment activities as an approach to meet gifted students’ needs. Differentiated instruction was used as the main approach to developing a comprehensive music enrichment activity, namely ‘Music in Film’, in which gifted students integrated music and computer skills in completing a given task. Furthermore, a research survey was conducted involving 36 gifted students. The MUSIC Inventory was used to measure their motivation and engagement towards the activity to measure the methods. Five domains—empowerment, usefulness, success, interest and caring—were measured on a 6-point Likert scale. Results revealed that all five domains were rated from moderate to high by the gifted students with a minimum 4.5 mean. Although it can be concluded that this enrichment activity is apt and effective for implementation in gifted education, future studies could look at participants with different backgrounds and demographics. It is hoped that this paper will contribute to designing more enrichment activities with a differentiated instruction approach as gifted students possess high potential in various talents that need to be nurtured.

“…Finally, we propose that the integration of emotional nature experiences into nature protection policy can have a wide variety of societal implications, particularly given increases in wealth, health, education and increasing dependence on cultural services (EC, 2010;Guo et al, 2010). Research has found that nature experiences (peak-or-otherwise), can lead to psychological expansion and inspire concern for issues beyond the self, such as pro-social and environmental behavior (Heylighen, 1992;Zhang, Piff, Iyer, Kolvela, Keltner, 2014;Zelenski, Dopko, & Capaldi, 2015). A failure to provide opportunities for psychological growth to an increasingly 'satisfied' citizen leaves few options, one of which si the so-called 'hedonic wheel,' where no matter the money or resources gained, happiness levels plateau (Diener, 2000).…”

How deep is your love – Of nature? A psychological and spatial analysis of the depth of feelings towards Dutch nature areas

The most binding nature protection policy in the Netherlands and the EU primarily designates areas based on ecological value, ensuring their sustained protection. Of less concern to these policies are the current and future needs of the average citizen, who is experiencing increases in education, income, and health. This paper argues that although existing policies protect biodiversity needs, the spatialemotional needs of the public are of similarly high importance. We analyze the spatial and emotional characteristics of favorite natural places in the Netherlands selected on the Hotspotsmonitor survey. Content analysis of the open question, "Why is this place important to you?" identified three categories: peace & quiet, explore, and peak. These were mapped using GIS to identify predominant hotspots and compared against the most binding nature protection policy -Natura 2000. The important societal benefits of augmenting ecologically based nature protection policies with emotional valuation are discussed.
