Abstract:
Migrant workers commonly face many health disparities when they relocate to a foreign work environment. Many workers migrating to Thailand are young unskilled workers from Myanmar. In this study, we examine factors associated with Myanmar migrant workers’ smoking status and characterized smoking-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior in one seafood factory in Thailand. This descriptive study utilized person-to-person interviews among 300 Myanmar migrants in one seafood factory in Thailand, of which 94.3% were young males between 18 and 39 years of age. Results demonstrated that 90% were current daily smokers, over 90% smoked 30–60 times per month, and 95% spent less than 500 baht (US $16) per month on smoking. About 70% of current smokers had 6–10 friends who smoked, compared with 40% of non-smokers (chi-square, p-value ≤ 0.07). Among this sample of mainly male migrant workers, smoking is very common, in part driven through social contact, but levels of dependence appear relatively low. The results suggest potential intervention approaches to reduce high smoking prevalence among this population, such as targeting young males and addressing their concerns about negative attitudes by peers to tobacco use and the unhealthful exposures of women and children in their families and the larger community.

Abstract:
This study sought to examine the problem that Korea's bilingual education policy is limited to international marriage families. We investigated how international marriage families, as well as parents of foreign workers and international students, provide bilingual education to their children, what difficulties they face, and what meaning they give to bilingual education. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with parents of four families with Mongolian immigrant background living in Jeju, and a total of four themes and nine subthemes were derived. We confirmed the diversity of bilingual education environments, the contrast in attitudes toward bilingual education, the limitations of bilingual learning resources, and the conflicting meanings of bilingual education. Through this, we confirmed that children with a Mongolian immigrant background can successfully complete bilingual education in Jeju. In addition to parent education, the community and government should further expand bilingual education opportunities from the perspective of multiculturalism, and residents and immigrants should cultivate an attitude of equal exchange and communication from the perspective of interculturalism.

Abstract:
The presence of Indonesian female employees overseas yields both advantageous and unfavorable consequences. The potential beneficial effect has the potential to enhance the nation's foreign exchange reserves. Nevertheless, there are adverse consequences that manifest in the shape of diverse challenges, encompassing numerous instances of migrating laborers. The individuals in question have encountered instances of violence, as well as instances where their earnings were not remunerated, among other related matters. The aforementioned issues also manifest in the offspring they leave in their wake. The function of the mother is crucial for the development of children. Consequently, individuals would encounter a substantial detriment that would subsequently impact the trajectory of their attitudes and behaviors throughout their lifetimes. The objective of this study is to examine the role of family communication patterns in mitigating the grief stages experienced by children whose moms engage in migrant employment. The present study employs a qualitative research methodology, namely a case study approach. The focus of this study is on families residing in Cibedug Village, Rongga District, West Bandung Regency, who are responsible for rearing children while the mothers work as migrant workers. The findings of the study indicate that when democratic communication patterns are present within the family, children are able to navigate the stages of grief effectively. In contrast, families that employ authoritarian communication patterns pose challenges for children in effectively navigating the stages of grief, resulting in manifestations of irritability, introversion, mistrust, and limited ability to engage in social interactions with their peers.

Abstract:
Introduction: Labor migration has become a means to make ends meet for low-income countries. It plays a key role to provide employment opportunities and has helped in the improvement of the standard of living. With the alarming rise of migrating workers, it becomes important to acknowledge the effects of migration on both the migrant workers in the destination country as well as families left behind at the place of origin. The objective of this study was to find out the status of migration of population in Khopasi village and their attitude towards the effects of migration on families left behind. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 256 residents of Khopasi, Kavrepalanchowk district from 10-15th November 2019. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire to assess the status of migration of immediate family members as well as the attitude towards migration and its effects. Results: The prevalence of migrant workers was 39.8%. The process of migration was assisted by their migrated relatives 59 (19.1%) and by foreign employment agencies 30 (12.92 %). The expenses for migration were managed by bank loan 34 (33.34%). Among102 migrant workers, 54(52.9%) are still working abroad whereas 48 (47.1%) have returned to Nepal. The main reason for migrant workers to go abroad was unemployment 59 (57.8%) in Nepal. Out of 102 who migrated, most of them 39 (38.23%) have spent 1-3 years abroad while 76 (68.6%) send remittance regularly to their family members at home around 1-3 lakhs/year. Among all the migrant worker 37(36.27%) reported some form of disease and disability. There was a positive attitude toward family and the country’s economy but the overall attitude towards migration was negative. Conclusion: In this study, remittance sent by migrant workers to their families was not adequate as there were no visible financial benefits and negative health consequences were also present. There are other impacts of migration like broken families, separation, difficulty in the rearing of children, mental health of elderly were seen on the families left behind. Various studies are required to further analyze the impact of migration other than remittance.

Abstract:
Introduction. It has been confirmed by a number of foreign and domestic studies, that occupational burnout (OB) is a common phenomenon among medical and pharmaceutical workers. Scientific and practical interest to the study of the causes of OB is due to the specific features of pharmaceutical industry, which associated with the daily communication of pharmacy employees with a large number of visitors who seek for their professional advice. Material and methods. The Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire, adapted for pharmaceutical workers, was used to assess the level of OB and to identify factors that could contribute to it’s development. The study involved employees of pharmaceutical institutions from the Tomsk (TR) and the Novosibirsk (NR) regions as well as from the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) - RS (Ya). Results. OB signs were fpound to be typical for pharmaceutical specialists in all tested regions, while more than 1/3 of the respondents have a high degree of this syndrome. The highest degree of OB is common among pharmaceutical workers in the TR, where emotional exhaustion by an integral indicator is expressed in 42.5% of respondents. In the RS(Ya) and the NR, the average degree is observed - in 62.5% and 60.5% of respondents, respectively. At the same time, the indicators of personal achievement reduction are expressed to a low degree: most specialists are able to find the right solutions in conflict situations, adequately cope with emotional problems, and understand and feel their colleagues well. Limitations. When studying occupational burnout among pharmaceutical workers of pharmaceutical institutions in the TR and NR as well as RS (Ya), the total 85 questionnaires were evaluated. Discussion. The obtained data showed differences in the OB severity among pharmaceutical specialists depending on the region. The main factors contributing to the development of OB include the age and length of service, the level of education, the reason for selecting an occupation and the presence of children. Satisfaction with the chosen occupation depends upon the attitude of management towards employees and the level of salary that allows feeling financial independence. Conclusion. Thus, pharmaceutical employees are subject to burnout at work. This problem is a theoretical and practical interest with its goal to find opportunities to prevent the development of burnout and reduce its impact.

Abstract:
Analysis of attitude towards various professions (attractiveness or prestige) is a integral part of studying the choice of profession. The dynamics of the attitude of young people to the studies indicates that it is clearly connected with the current situation and changes when new phenomena arise in it. Thus, in the data of the 1960s echoes of recent events are noticeable - the launch of the first Soviet "Sputniks", the Yuri Gagarin's flight. The connection with the demand for professions, one way or another related to science and technology, is obvious: the attractiveness of the occupations of scientists and engineers is great. During the years of economic difficulties and shortages, attention was drawn to the rise in the attractiveness of the professions of a seller, an accountant, which had previously been among the lowest rated. Then the time came when the leaders were professions of a bank employee, a lawyer, a businessman, a foreign trade worker, and scientists, teachers fell lower and lower on the scale of attractiveness. In the 2010s, a civil servant joined the leaders. The opinions expressed in each subsequent year belong to a different cohort of young people. Analysis of the dynamics over a long period of time also allows one to draw conclusions about the characteristics belonging to different generations. At the same time, it is found that in order to interpret the data, it is necessary to consider the attitude towards classes in connection with the accumulated experience of the family as well. Family experiences are translated into educational and vocational orientations of children. This is confirmed by data on motivation and the actual choice of education and profession. The conclusion that the formation of youth orientations is associated not only with the perception of the current situation, but also with the social experience of previous generations, is based on the materials of over 50 years of data.

Abstract:
The article examines the role and place of health-saving technologies in the system of modern education, where an important role is assigned to the interaction of teachers, psychologists, workers in social spheres, the need to review the accumulated experience and develop new approaches taking into account the changed living conditions, namely: military status substantiated in Ukraine; transition to online education; strengthening of the information flow; humanity's dependence on the Internet; psychophysiological stress, hypodynamia, etc. A historical-pedagogical review has been conducted, which introduces the developments in the issues of preserving and strengthening the health of students, taking into account their age and social characteristics, which allows relying on the foundations of pedagogical culture when setting and solving the tasks of forming a health culture, introducing health into pedagogical practice of energy-saving technologies, as an important direction for preserving and strengthening the health of children and adolescents in modern conditions. Researches, made by the scientists, had shown that the urgent task of the development of the national education system was to create consistency between modern social requirements for the health of the young generation and pedagogical conditions for the formation of motivational and value attitudes of students towards their own health and life. The article also examines the essence of health-saving technologies, the conditions for their implementation, and the approaches of modern domestic and foreign authors to the issues of leading a healthy lifestyle for student youth. In their scientific works, scientists express comments on the preparation of graduates of pedagogical universities to implement the socially important task of raising a healthy generation based on the organization of a health-preserving educational process. Thus, it is necessary to introduce pedagogical conditions into the work of higher education institutions in order to implement educational programs that meet the requirements of preserving and strengthening the physical, mental, and social components of the health of the young generation and raising a healthy personality capable of adapting to the complex conditions of modern life.

Abstract:
Social workers who interact with disabled children have developed unique attitudes and perceptions about physical disability in children and the disabling effects of material, social, and environmental components of society. Because of the unique problems associated with the care of physically disabled children, social workers are needed to provide ongoing services to help these children manage their disabilities and address their social and health concerns. This study was designed to elucidate the attitudes of social workers which may affect their interactions with disabled children. This information can be used to increase the effectiveness of social workers who plan to work with disabled children. This nationwide study is a preliminary investigation of the attitudes of social workers in children’s hospitals which are members of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals (NACH). Surveys were sent to seventeen social services departments in these hospitals and were distributed to full time social workers who interact with disabled children between the ages of 6 and 17. Sixteen surveys from 5 different hospitals were returned. All returned surveys were used in the study The survey consisted of three parts: 1) a demographic section; 2) the Attitudes Toward Disabled Children Scale; and 3) the Attitudes Towards Disablement Scale. The data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Although the number of participating social workers was small, preliminary results indicate that social workers who serve physically disabled children have a positive attitude toward disabled children and feel that societal components are responsible for further disabling those children

Abstract:
Social work is a profession that espouses respect for the value of diversity. However, diversity is limited in social work programs as these programs focus primarily on the teaching of verbal methods of connection for social workers to engage with clients. Non verbal methods of communication are limited in social work programs. This inhibits diversity as research has demonstrated that many clients for various reasons are unable to communicate through verbal dialogue. This present study explored social workers attitudes towards the use of art in their therapy. Six social workers from a children's mental health agency were interviewed and the results indicated that social workers used art in their work and found it beneficial for their clients. The social workers limited education in non-verbal modalities of communication however, prevented them from using the art effectively. The study recommends that social work programs include nonverbal methods of communication to ensure diversity and best practice for the profession of social work.

Abstract:
An exploratory study was conducted to examine the effects of parental child protection employment on the children of the employees. Semi-structured interviews were conducted of eight children, who had one parent employed in a child protection agency in Eastern Ontario. The analysis of the interviews demonstrated perceived impacts on identified areas of the participants' lives: family transactions within the community; internal family functioning; and the impact on the individual participant. The interview results were also examined along four variables: gender of the child protection worker parent; gender of the participant; age of the participant; and position held by the child protection worker parent. Of these, only the gender of the child protection worker parent appeared to have a differing trend between groups. Further research is suggested to generalize these results beyond the participants in the study.

Full text
Abstract:
Many studies concerning multinational corporations {MNCs) are replete with theoretical models and case studies that treat MNCs as stand-alone entities. Very little time and effort is given to understanding the context in which MNCs operate. This context includes not only the fact that MNCs transcend national boundaries (political as well as geographical), but also the meaning of work and being part of a multinational work force for those employed within MNCs. This thesis is an effort to elucidate how the political/societal/cultural contexts of different host countries affect the attitudes of those workers most directly involved with foreign-owned MNCs. By shifting the focus from the MNC to the political/societal/cultural environment of host countries, foreign-owned MNCs can be compared across national boundaries (foreign-owned MNC workers from three different countries are compared in this thesis -- Canada, Brazil, and West Germany). Finally, by grounding the workers' attitudes within social identity theory, divergent attitudes between the workers from the different countries are not only explained, but expected as well.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that social workers have the potential to overcome weaknesses in practice and difficulties in collaboration in the field of child disability. The study examines the nature of the relationship between social workers and other professionals. It explores how difficulties affecting collaboration are constructed and maintained, and considers how they might be overcome. The study explores the wide-ranging responsibilities that social workers carry for disabled children, and considers the particular importance of interprofessional collaboration and the social model of disability in their role. The thesis observes long-standing criticisms of social work practice in child disability work. Considering this, the adequacies of social work training and the place for specialisation in raising standards are explored. The thesis examines the relevance o f professional status in social work. This includes a discussion of that which characterises and constructs social work as a profession. The thesis explores how far a commitment to 'professionalism' is necessary for social work to fulfil its potential. Discussions highlight the inextricable links between social work's success in achieving professionalism and its relationship with employers. The discussion of research methods explains how the questionnaire and semi-structured interview were selected as tools for gathering the opinions of a wide range of practitioners concerning social work practice. The survey gathered the views of health and education professionals about the factors influencing their collaboration with social workers. Their opinions about social work competence in collaborative care planning for disabled children and families are discussed. The views of social workers are also explored, concerning their own practice and the adequacy of their training in preparing them for interprofessional collaboration and their role in child disability work. The survey provides insight into how the professionalism and potential of social work may be developed or restricted.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines how a politics of cultural diversity was implemented over a 30-year period in a Norwegian school concert program run by Concerts Norway. Departing from a historical overview, the chapter outlines the shifting agendas, values, and visions of diversity that governed this ambitious cultural effort. A central aim is to examine the ideological positions that influenced the program and the political and educational debates surrounding it. The concert program is discussed with respect to cultural diversity and anti-racism, democracy, tradition, hybridity, and the tensions between educational and artwork-based paradigms. Based on theorizations of cultural difference, the chapter shows how promoting music to children has been understood as an important part of shaping societal attitudes and laying the grounds for an anti-oppressive education. Critical issues regarding representation, influence, and power in the staging of music involving immigrant performers are raised. The chapter relates the concert programs to the political frames and ideals of the nation-state by illustrating how international cooperation effectively made the concert programs a part of Norwegian foreign policy. It points out how changing government policies had a profound impact on programs promoting cultural diversity, eventually leading to their termination as a national cultural strategy.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how children's participation in child protection remains a contested practice. The term 'contested practice' here refers to a set of social practices related to children's participation in decision-making occurring in child protection, including decisions about children's removal from home into foster or residential care, out-of-home placements, contact with parents and siblings while in care, and decisions related to family reunification. The chapter starts by describing how children experience participation in different child protection systems in Norway, the United States, and other countries. It then focuses on the barriers to children's participation in child protection, especially the role that child protection workers play in creating participation barriers. The chapter shows that child protection workers' lack of availability, skills, training and a respectful rapport with children present participation barriers. Workers' protective attitudes and safety concerns in high-risk case contexts prevent children's participation too.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how globalization affects the identities and aspirations of outsourcing workers, managers, and employers. It first considers the rise of a “new middle class” in India and whether middle-class Indians can be meaningfully described as today's “mimic men” (and women) before discussing the ways that companies shape the identities and behavior of the employees within the workplace. It shows that Indian workers find the adoption of foreign accents, identities, and timings both exciting and disorienting. They increasingly identify with lifestyles and customs that are global in reach. Executives and managers, too, use their close engagement with the West to define themselves as something other than the “traditional” Indian. The chapter argues that globalization gives rise to an Indian morality play where the pleasure principle clashes with the demands of custom and obligation, where an uneasy relationship between kama (pleasure) and dharma (duty) is established.

Abstract:
"In the article, the authors made an attempt, on the basis of the results of sociological research among students, to identify trends in the transformation of their value orientations in relation to foreign migrant workers and ethnic groups that make up the population permanently residing in Russia. Research Methods. Questionnaire survey of target groups using a specially designed questionnaire made it possible to obtain primary empirical data on the distribution of the main characteristics of the value attitudes of young people concerning foreign migrant workers and representatives of nationalities permanently residing in the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region of the Russian Federation. At the time of this writing, within the framework of the project ""Dynamics of value orientations of youth"", six stages of research on the value orientations of students aged 16 to 24 were carried out. So, in 2006, on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region, 1915 students of secondary general education schools and secondary vocational educational institutions, as well as students of higher educational institutions, were interviewed, in 2011 - 3,000 people; in 2014 - 2,500 people; 2015 - 2750 people; 2016 - 2750 people, 2019 - 2750 people. The number of interviewed respondents testifies to the high representativeness of the research results obtained. When processing the primary database obtained during the field part of the study, special statistical methods of analysis were used: a) one-dimensional and two-dimensional percentage distributions, which made it possible to identify the prevalence of individual characteristics of value orientations, both in general, among young people, and in its individual groups, distributed by socio-demographic and ideological groups. b) factor analysis made it possible to identify the main set of factors and the level of significance of each of them, in the formation of a certain set of value attitudes of young people.c) cluster analysis made it possible to record the level of heterogeneity of the youth environment, the distribution of young people in individual groups, depending on the value system characteristic of each of these groups"

Full text
Abstract:
"Growing diversity in Japan's population has not been matched by changes in attitudes regarding ""difference."" The old notion of racial and cultural homogeneity still holds sway in Japan, especially within the official education system. This has led to a disconnect between classroom realities and government policies which do little to address the changing needs of an increasingly diverse student body. For historical reasons, and as a result of more recent demographic trends, there are now large numbers of Koreans, Brazilians, South Asians and other foreign nationals in Japan. Many of these foreign residents have children attending Japanese public schools that were never intended to educate anyone but Japanese students. Moreover, marginalized groups such as members of the LGBTQ and special needs communities are gaining an increasing presence both in public awareness and within the public school system. Despite these changes, changes that are only accelerating, the official school system has done little to foster changes in attitude toward people who are different from the idealized norm. In addition, studies show that these sorts of attitudes can become fixed at a very early age, effectively at the preschool level. This has led us to produce a children’s book intended to serve as a form of diversity training for young children. In this way we hope to encourage more open and accepting attitudes among those who will grow up in an ever more diverse Japan."

Full text
Abstract:
Teaching English as a foreign language to primary school children can be challenging due to their linguistic and cognitive limitations. Traditional methods like rote memorization may not be effective or engaging. Interactive games have been proposed as a solution, but there is little research on how students perceive game-based learning and how teachers can incorporate games into language learning curricula. This study examines EFL primary students' attitudes toward three types of interactive games as language learning tools, the impact of game elements on learning outcomes, and the benefits and drawbacks of game-based teaching. The research was conducted in an elementary school in Vietnam and suggests that interactive games can improve EFL learning outcomes in primary school students, but their perception and reaction to this method plays a crucial role in its effectiveness. The study aims to guide the creation of effective language teaching techniques and is relevant to curriculum designers, policymakers, and language teachers worldwide. The research has three main goals: (1) examine EFL primary students' attitudes toward using interactive games to learn English; (2) investigate how game elements affect students' perceptions of game-based learning; and (3) propose ways to improve students' perception of interactive games as a language learning tool. The study has some limitations, such as its focus on Vietnamese EFL primary students and its small sample size. Nonetheless, it contributes to our understanding of how interactive games can enhance EFL learning outcomes in primary school settings by examining students' attitudes, motivations, and enjoyment.

Abstract:
"Although Japan has not traditionally been considered a multicultural nation or possesses anything resembling an open immigration policy, it is rapidly becoming more and more diverse. Events like modifications to the nation’s immigration regulations in April 2019 and the recent proposed scrapping of the 5-year term limits on accepted “temporary” foreign workers (Category 1 Specified Skilled Workers) have ostensibly led to a quiet opening to unskilled foreign workers for the first time in the nation’s modern history. While Japan’s hand may have been reluctantly forced by serious labour force shortages in many sectors of the economy, it is undoubtedly the beginning of the creation of an even more ‘multicultural Japan’; providing further impetus to the pressing challenge of creating a society where diverse peoples can live together in harmony. Yet, despite these changes and the obvious implications they have for the future, very little consideration has been given to allowing for - and accommodating - greater diversity into the nation’s schools. There is a great risk that without preparation now, the already emerging signs of distress in the education sector (language problems, truancy, drop-out rates, bullying, etc.) will only escalate. In other words, in order for Japan to prepare to accept even a modest increase in the number of newcomers, teachers and education officials need to undertake greater training to enable them to understand and assist in the successful integration of future migrant children. Based on interviews, literature and a review of the recent educational situation in the light of these changes, this paper aims to ascertain whether greater inclusivity training is required, and if so, what it should entail. To allow for greater support of non-Japanese students into Japan’s education system, it concludes with a tentative proposal for what future educational training courses should consider, how they could be incorporated into teacher training curricula and the overall potential benefits for society in general."

Abstract:
Sustainable demographic development is one of the indicators of the country`s national security. Financial support for families at the birth of children, determined by the existing national project "Demography", in the current socio-economic situation, seems to be an insufficient measure to maintain the birth rate and, consequently, the sustainable demographic development of our country. Considering that almost two thirds of the territory of Russia is occupied by the cryolithozone, and also taking into account that up to 4 thousand cases of fatal hypothermia and 16 thousand severe local frostbite are recorded in Russia every year, ensuring the safety of working in the cold for this category of citizens is a priority. A systematic review of published works available in national and foreign databases, regulatory legal and methodological documents has been carried out. A questionnaire survey was conducted among women performing labor operations in an open area or in unheated premises in the AZRF. The accounting and reporting documentation of obstetric institutions was analyzed. Performing labor operations in conditions of exposure to low temperatures creates an increased risk of reproductive health disorders and reproductive losses, primarily in women who perform labor operations in open areas or in unheated premises for 1‑3 hours, and especially more than 3 hours per shift. In addition to the existing measures of state support for the family and increasing the birth rate, it is necessary to develop and implement innovative programs aimed at managing the risks of preventable environmental production and behavioral factors in order to achieve sustainable demographic development of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
Abstract In its latest US Oil & Gas workplace safety report, the American Petroleum Institute (API) noted that the industry's incidence rate has decreased by 41% since 2008 due to an increased focus on the industry-wide goal of zero incidents (American Petroleum Institute, 2020). However, there continues to be a significant number of serious incidents directly related to human behaviours rather than a lack of control or processes. In a high-risk environment such as Oil & Gas sites, onshore or offshore, it is imperative to have a healthy workforce - both physically and mentally - and there is a link between worker wellbeing, stress, overall performance, and safety attitudes. Many segments of the Oil & Gas industry require workers to leave home and family for extended periods, and this can have a significant impact on an employee's psychological wellbeing. This paper aims to inform individuals and organisations so they can better understand the effects of the experience of being away and increase the chances of maintaining their workers’ psychological wellbeing. A five-phase model - from preparing to leave home through to being back at home - has been developed in consultation with academics, trade unions, expert insight from oil and gas, military and education sector perspectives. This model offers a new and practical way to think about and manage potential adverse impacts on psychological wellbeing while away in order to reduce risk. It was first set out by Seaton and Jelley (2015) and additional research has since been completed with new data that demonstrates the impact of the five-phase model. The five-phase model has been tested among international students at universities in the UK (Smith, Smith and Jelley 2018) and in 2019 among foreign workers at an on-shore location in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Consistent with findings in the university context, the results of the latest field research suggest that greater use of strategies to cope with working away from home is associated with (a) greater positive wellbeing (happiness, life satisfaction) in life generally (b) a better quality of working life (c) more efficient operational performance.

Abstract:
To improve sleep habits, we will create messages to raise awareness of sleep and examine the effects of messaging on sleep habits. Japanese people, especially children, and workers, sleep less than their counterparts, both men and women, in other countries. As a result, some people "sleep in on weekends," getting a lot of sleep on weekends to secure more sleep. Then, the rhythm becomes disturbed, and it becomes challenging to re-synchronize with the schedule. Therefore, it is necessary to improve sleeping habits to secure a certain amount of sleep. This study will utilize a messaging approach, gain/loss-framing messages. Then, we will investigate which message is more effective for sleep habits according to each participant's values about sleep. This experiment first administered a questionnaire to 130 college students and adults to assess their attitudes and values toward sleep. We conducted an exploratory factor analysis of 83 items of the questionnaire. As a result, factor scores were calculated for each respondent, and a total of six clusters were determined by cluster analysis. For the experiment, a total of 10 participants (college students in their 20s), five each with high factor scores, were selected from the "sleep-oriented" and "sleep-unoriented" types. The selected participants wore wristwatch-type terminals and went to bed after checking the messages sent to them. Participants received each of seven different kinds of gain/loss-framing messages per week. In questionnaires on 14 different messages, participants responded to the acceptability of the messages and changes in their attitudes toward sleep, such as going to bed early, getting up early, and reviewing their daily rhythms. A two-way ANOVA was conducted at the 5% significance level on the change in sleep awareness after confirmation of the sent message and on the evaluation of the acceptability of the sent message. We identified significant differences in sleep awareness in the main effects between clusters and in the interaction between clusters and message type. Sleep-oriented types tended to report more change in sleep awareness with loss-framing messages. In comparison, sleep-unoriented types tended to report more change in sleep awareness with gain-framing messages. Mean sleep time (minutes) during each period was calculated for each participant, and a two-way ANOVA was performed with message content and clusters as factors at a 5% significance level. We didn't find significant differences between clusters, message types, or interactions. However, sleep-oriented types tended to sleep longer than sleep-unoriented types. Furthermore, in both clusters, sleep duration tended to be longer in weeks when they received loss-framing messages than in weeks when they received gain-framing messages. The interventions in this study produced changes in sleep attitudes, but these changes differed across clusters. On the other hand, all clusters showed a trend toward longer sleep duration for loss-framing messages. In other words, changes in sleep attitudes may not be directly reflected in behavior, and we need to investigate this in the future.

Abstract:
Going to bed each night in a sleepout—a converted verandah, balcony or small free-standing structure was, for most of the 20th century, an everyday Australian experience, since homes across the nation whether urban, suburban, or rural, commonly included a space of this kind. The sleepout was a liminal space that was rarely a formal part of a home’s interior, although it was often used as a semi-permanent sleeping quarter. Initially a response to the discomfort experienced during hot weather in 19th century bedrooms and encouraged by the early 20th century enthusiasm for the perceived benefits of sleeping in fresh air, the sleepout became a convenient cover for the inadequate supply of housing in Australian cities and towns and provided a face-saving measure for struggling rural families. Acceptance of this solution to over-crowding was so deep and so widespread that the Commonwealth Government built freestanding sleepouts in the gardens of suburban homes across Australia during the crisis of World War II to house essential war workers. Rather than disappearing at the war’s end, these were sold to homeowners and occupied throughout the acute post-war housing shortage of the 1940s and 1950s, then used into the 1970s as a space for children to play and teenagers to gain some privacy. This paper explores this common feature of Australian 20th century homes, a regional tradition which has not, until recently, been the subject of academic study. Exploring the attitudes, values and policies that led to the sleepout’s introduction, proliferation and disappearance, it explains that despite its ubiquity in the first three-quarters of the 20th century, the sleepout slipped from Australia’s national consciousness during a relatively brief period of housing surplus beginning in the 1970s. As the supply of affordable housing has declined in the 21st century, the free-standing sleepout or studio has re-emerged, housing teenagers of low-income families.
