Godwin, Jessica. "#nofilter: Online Personas and The Negative Impacts of Social Media on Young Adults’ Self-esteem". K@ta Kita 7, n. 2 (29 ottobre 2019): 220–27. http://dx.doi.org/10.9744/katakita.7.2.220-227.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
My novel #nofilter follows Mia, a photo model who is pretty famous on the social media platform Instagram, as she meets Kyle, her online boyfriend for the first time. In an effort to earn other people’s acceptance, Mia has been building a perfect online persona. However, after meeting Kyle, it is revealed that she is not who she portrays herself to be. As my work revolves on how social media affects someone’s self-esteem, hopefully it can help the readers learn to love themselves and do not depend their self-esteem on others. Specifically, I focus on how Mia maintains an idealized online persona in order to cope with her low self-esteem and earn other people’s acceptance, how the contrast between Mia’s online and real life personas causes her relationship with Kyle to crumble, and how Mia learns to love herself by accepting her weaknesses and acknowledging her positive qualities. For that reason, I use Contingencies of Self-esteem theory by Jennifer Crocker and Connie T. Wole, the Social Comparison theory, and the Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman. Set in the early years after college, I use New Adult genre and the sub-genre Contemporary Romance to explore Kyle and Mia’s romantic relationship. Keywords: Social media, Instagram, self-esteem, online persona, New Adult, Contemporary Romance

Seo, Seung-hui. "Young Adult Fiction and Gender: Focusing on the Korean Young Adult Literature Award Winner". Education Research Institute, Chungbuk National University 45, n. 1 (30 aprile 2024): 31–71. http://dx.doi.org/10.55152/kerj.45.1.31.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study focuses on the ways in which Korean society's gender norms are reinterpreted by the winners of the Young Adult Literature Awards. First, I examined how the gendered family system in Korean society has been transformed and reconfigured, and how it affects the youth identity. Families in the Young Adult Fiction do not conform to conventional models of normal families and gender role norms. However, I critically examined the direction of family narratives by pointing out that the newly transformed familism limits the imagination of Young Adult Fiction. Next, I examined the representation of adolescent sexuality as a consistent practice. Male adolescents were often portrayed as the protagonists of events, which is problematic from a gender-sensitive perspective, and female adolescent sexuality had largely been addressed in the realm of pregnancy, abortion, and childbirth. However, I expect to see more narratives exploring female sexual self-determination in a new light. Finally, I highlighted issues of queer identity that are not captured by the gender binary. The winners of the Young Adult Literature Prize tend to deal with queer identity issues in friendships, and the recent winners have portrayed queer issues in new ways and formats through a combination of family, travel narratives, and romance narratives. Unlike in the past, when queer people were categorically excluded, minority issues have recently been addressed in terms of human rights education; however, it remains to be seen whether this will generate meaningful reflections in the future.

Rokeya, Ms, e A. K. Zunayet Ahammed. "A Shattering Epiphany in James Joyce’s “Araby”". Advances in Language and Literary Studies 8, n. 5 (2 novembre 2017): 140. http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.8n.5p.140.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article attempts to show an adolescent boy's continuing process of self-realisation through his disillusionment with the bleak reality of Dublin in the early twentieth century in the short story “Araby” by James Joyce. Brought up in the drab and deadening surroundings with his uncle and aunt in conservative Catholic cultures, the lonely sensitive boy finds no outlets to express his feelings. Torn between harsh reality and imagination, the boy searches light and a relish of romance. Amidst the darkness, a girl, Mangan's sister, is the only light in his romantic vision. The boy, however, wishes to win her over by bringing her a gift from Araby, an oriental bazaar, which is also an epitome of ideal beauty, love and romance to him. But as he grows up, he discovers that the bazaar is beset by difficulties of the adult world where he finds no way to dream. There he is exposed to a new odious situation which he never felt before. And he undergoes a shattering epiphany which results in realisation and maturation. Indeed, here Joyce keenly evinces how a young boy gains sharp insights into life and reality.

Bengtsson, Anders Nils. "L’évolution du suffixe –issime : un inventaire et une fréquence des formes attestées dans Frantext". Bergen Language and Linguistics Studies 10, n. 1 (7 novembre 2019): 17. http://dx.doi.org/10.15845/bells.v10i1.1447.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The synthetic superlative -ÍSSIMUS in Latin survived in Italian, whereas it was borrowed in the Romance languages on the Iberian Peninsula and in French during the Renaissance. This suffix has been very frequent in these languages with the exception of French. In this language it has been accepted merely when used in titles. Condemned by grammarians, the suffix has thus been quite rare in French literature. The present study shows however that in the database Frantext, which comprises mostly literary texts, nearly 1,400 occurrences of words with the suffix -issime are found, rarissime and richissime being the most frequent (apart from titles). But with the emergence of new media, it seems that the suffix has become much more frequent in French. These adjectives are found mainly in areas like politics, sports, travels, adult movies and in comments by web visitors as shown in this study.

Golovin, Valentin. "MUSICIANSHIP AND SINGING IN ARKADY GAIDAR’S NOVEL TIMUR AND HIS TEAM". Children's Readings: Studies in Children's Literature 22, n. 2 (2022): 366–87. http://dx.doi.org/10.31860/2304-5817-2022-2-22-366-387.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article deals with the motif of singing and music-making in the story “Timur and his team” (1940) by Arkady Gaidar. The author analyses 18 episodes in which the characters of the story sing or play music: a musical amateur performance (staging an opera), home and amateur music-making, Red Army chorus, trumpeter’s signals, performing a “novelty romance” and ditties accompanied by a fight, shouts of a milkmaid, improvised orchestra concert by children playing on “bottles, cans, bottles and sticks”, use of musical toys and so on. The musical texture of the novel is placed in the context of the mass musical culture of the 1930s and in the tradition of Russian classical music. The functions of this motif in the text of the story are revealed: the creation of an atmosphere of a dacha village near Moscow, allusions, and characterization of adult heroes. The article shows how the irony of the author is expressed through scenes of singing and music-making, and how the author’s accents are placed in the depiction and evaluation of characters. The analysis of this motif allows us to propose new interpretations of the world of children and adults depicted in A. Gaidar’s story; the relevant categories which distinguish children and adults in the story are original/secondary, natural/artificial, and improvisation/performance.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article develops the concept of the ‘whimsical macabre’, introduced in my book Post-millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic (2017) to refer to texts which deliberately fuse the comic and cute with the sinister, monstrous or grotesque. I propose that Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoët’s graphic novel Satania (2016) extends the whimsical macabre in new directions, by drawing on the work of Romantic poet and artist William Blake, whose illustrated books are often cited as forerunners of modern comics. By rewriting Blake’s visionary account of a journey into the infernal regions in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1793) and alluding to Songs of Innocence and of Experience (1789/1794), Satania reveals the serious ethical dimensions that underlie the whimsical macabre. In doing so, it interrogates and complicates the maturational narrative associated with children’s and young adult literature. The article concludes by suggesting that Satania’s heroine Charlie’s relationship with her demon draws on a Blakeian model of friendship in opposition, pointing towards a ‘reparative’ form of Gothic in which otherness is neither erased nor expelled, but embraced and cherished.

Golchin, Ava, e George Anthony Dawson. "Online survey of young adult cancer survivors and illness-related stressors." Journal of Clinical Oncology 35, n. 5_suppl (10 febbraio 2017): 33. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2017.35.5_suppl.33.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
33 Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in cancer patients and those with life threatening illnesses has been officially recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition: DSM-4, since 1994. However, the updated 2013 DSM-V has redefined the idea of trauma and stress-related disorders resulting from life threatening illness as an amalgam of anxiety and adjustment disorders which must meet heightened criteria to be diagnosed as cancer-related PTSD (ca-PTSD) (1). Methods: In this pilot survey of Millennials and Generation X cancer survivors, ages 18-35 and 35-50 respectively, we queried based on DSM-V guidelines for basic demographics, illness-related stressors, as well as knowledge of ca-PTSD. We sent an electronic survey to 20 members of a social support group in May 2016. Results: Of the 13 survey respondents, 9 were female and 4 were male. Half of the respondents were from the Generation X and Millennial groups. None were military veterans. 6 were single, 4 were married, and 3 were in stable long term relations. 11 of 13 had a college degree or greater, and all but one had their cancer diagnosed after 2010. Respondents rated illness stressors as: 92% Possible illness progression; 77% Romance and/or reproductive; 77% Job-related; 77% Family dynamics and insecurities; 69% Social interaction insecurities; 69% Physician or Care-provider interactions and insecurities. All were aware of PTSD in general but only 4 reported discussion with a care provider. None recalled being screened for PTSD. Eight were unsure if more emphasis should be placed on ca-PTSD. Conclusions: This cohort further validates the new DSM-V inclusion of illness-adjustment and resultant anxiety to diagnose cancer related stress disorders, narrowing the scope of ca-PTSD diagnosis.With this survey we underline the importance of identifying illness-related stressors utilizing psychological distress monitoring, educating patients on symptoms and prevalence of cancer related stress disorders, and communication with the patient concerning cancer-related stress disorders and ca-PTSD diagnosis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In today’s new media environment, more and more communication contents have been digitized. Also because of digitization, traditional media and new media, which were previously well-defined services, have now merged, media fusion. In the age of media fusion, communication systems are updated more rapidly and more and more novels are being adapted into TV series. Literary education in ancient China has a long history and has played an important role in the development and dissemination of the ancient Chinese literature. Literary education refers to an educational behavior in which the educator and the educated acquire knowledge, enrich emotional experience, and obtain aesthetic pleasure through the reading, explanation, and acceptance of literary texts and then cultivate language ability and cultivate spirituality. There are many factors that promote the classicization of ancient Chinese fiction works. This thesis examines the relationship between fiction education and the classicization of ancient Chinese fiction works. The experiment shows that there are still many problems with the reading of ancient Chinese novels today; the number of respondents who have an average interest in reading ancient Chinese novels accounts for 51%, and only 12% have a high interest in reading. In terms of the choice of reading content, 16% of the students focus on reading literary masterpieces, 70% are inclined to reading young adult literature and campus literature, and 14% prefer to read romance martial arts novels, popular science books, and newspaper publications, etc.

Standlee, Alecea. "Sex, Romance, and Technology: Efficiency, Predictability, and Standardization in College Dating Cultures". Qualitative Sociology Review 19, n. 1 (31 gennaio 2023): 6–21. http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1733-8077.19.1.01.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This article considers the extent that new forms of communication technologies developed in the last half century have contributed to new forms of sexual and romantic relationships flourishing among early adults in the United States. This project pays particular attention to the implications of that during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns and the increased dependency on technology that followed. This empirical work uses the theoretical framework provided by the scholarship of George Ritzer (2004), which focuses on the social narratives that drive labor into increasingly rational and functionalist operations, which he terms McDonaldization. This project uses interview data collected from college students to explore attitudes and social forms related to casual sex and the development of serious romantic relationships among participants. In an analysis of the data, three key trends have emerged that can be understood within Ritzer’s theoretical frame. Research participants utilize and value technologies within their intimate relationships as information filters that provide efficiency in creating relationships. They also demonstrate the use of technological, organizational, and connective tools as means to control relationships. Finally, technological tools and symbols signal a kind of semi-standardized symbol of commitment to the relationship, though the meaning of these signs is still contested.

Bilyk, Natalia. ""TREASURE ISLAND" BY R. L. STEVENSON: A GAME FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS". Bulletin of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Literary Studies. Linguistics. Folklore Studies, n. 2(34) (2023): 10–13. http://dx.doi.org/10.17721/1728-2659.2023.34.02.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
"Treasure Island" by R. L. Stevenson is presented in the context of British Neo-Romanticism, that embodied masculine culture, characteristic of the late Victorian period, and produced a special type of "everyage" reader, as well as adventure literature addressed to him. "Treasure Island" is one of the first novels (romances), which were intentionally written both for children and for adults. Still, its reputation of the masterpiece of boyhood fiction may prevent readership from capturing "adults" implications, that primarily exist at the deepest levels of human consciousness and relate to the complicated nature of human character and behavior. The interrelation of "children" and "adults" layers unfolds in the playful discourse of the novel, discussed in the paper as a boyhood adventure, as a quest, or as an intertertextual game with its readers. Stevenson’s conception of a fictional world as the fusion of the imaginative and of the real, where the imaginative plays a leading role, is of the utmost importance for the topic of the paper. Pirate boyhood game is revealed on two levels: at the surface level, as an objective reality created in accordance with the codes of adventure literature, and at the deeper level, as an expression of a youthful desire for adventures and fulfillment of a boyish sea dream. The former is emphasized by explicit allusions to Ballantain’s "Coral Island", and the latter is prompted by not so visible allusions to Poe’s "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym". The plot of the novel is designed as a quest, but "Treasure Island" is also a moral or psychological quest of some kind, so both the narrator and the reader have to look for answers in shifts in all characters of the story and not only in Long John Silver. The abundance of intertextual interconnections urges the reader to participate in unraveling intertexts and interpreting them in line with general and individual reader experience.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Die folgende Arbeit wird sich mit dem Thema Social Media als Kommunikationsinstrument für Young-/New-Adult-Romance-Verlagen auseinandersetzen. Social Media ist im Alltag der Menschen präsent. Viele Unternehmen nutzen die Plattformen, um sich zu präsentieren und Anzeigen zu schalten. Verlage setzen diese Möglichkeit der Werbung zwar schon ein, die Erfolge scheinen dabei aber nur mittelmäßig zu sein. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, mithilfe von Analysen zu den Social Media-Kanälen verschiedener Verlage und deren Erfolge, Handlungsempfehlungen für den Aufbau von Kundenbeziehungen durch Soziale Netzwerke aussprechen zu können. Die Forschungsfrage lautet dementsprechend: Inwiefern können Young-/New-Adult-Romance-Verlage durch die Integration von Kommunikationsmaßnahmen in Sozialen Netzwerken eine langfristige Kundenbindung aufbauen und aufrechterhalten? Dabei wurden elf Verlage, auf Grundlage von theoretischem Wissen, auf deren Engagement-Raten und Erfolge untersucht. Zudem wurden mit einem unabhängigen Verlag und einem konzerngeleiteten Imprint Interviews geführt, um ein Verständnis für diese zu bekommen. Unabhängig vom Interview wurden die Verlage tiefgehender zu deren Community-Arbeit analysiert. Die Untersuchungen zeigten, dass die Interaktion mit den Usern vonseiten des Verlages wichtig ist, um Engagement und Aktivität von diesen zu erwirken. Der Aufbau einer Community und deren Pflege schafft es die Zielgruppe langfristig an sich zu binden.:1. Einleitung

Valovirta, Elina. "Repeated Pleasure: Reading the Threesome Ménage Romance as Digital Literature". In Powerful Prose, 45–62. Bielefeld, Germany: transcript Verlag, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.14361/9783839458808-004.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In this chapter, Elina Valovirta discusses a type of romantic love explored by recent New Adult literature; the polyamorous romance. Titles, such as Two Close for Comfort (2015) and Two Billionaires for Christmas (2017) are examples of the 'reverse harem' or 'MFM menage' e-romance bracket, which capitalizes on the erotic and exotic obstacle of two male friends falling in love with - and, ultimately, sharing - the same woman. The polyamorous romance's particular way of eliciting pleasure in readers is tied with specific stylistic strategies, such as alternating first-person narrators and using the plural form in dialogue. The chapter interrogates, how these elements are repeated throughout the genre to titillate and arouse readers.

Guijarro-Fuentes, Pedro. "Chapter 4. The acquisition of object drop in L2 Spanish by German speakers". In Language Acquisition in Romance Languages, 86–113. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/bpa.18.04gui.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This study investigates the use of null objects in adult L1 German-L2 Spanish speakers. Spanish null objects are licensed under two conditions: (i) semantically, null objects must be [-definite, -specific] (Franco, 1993; Sánchez, 2004), and (ii) syntactically, null objects cannot be generated within an island or Phase Impenetrability in recent minimalist conceptions (Chomsky, 2001), as they involve A’-movement (triggered by [+ Top] feature). Object topic drop in German, on the other hand, does not exhibit the same semantic restrictions as Spanish (Müller & Hulk, 2001). Using a production task, the predictions of two competing models of L2 acquisition are tested. While the Interpretability Hypothesis (e.g., Hawkins & Hattori, 2006; Tsimpli & Dimitrakopoulou, 2007) claims that interpretable features can be fully acquired by adult L2ers, uninterpretable features not instantiated in the L1 are no longer available to adult learners, the Feature Reassembly Hypothesis (Lardiere, 2009) proposes that L2 speakers transfer features that share the same morpholexical expressions in the L1 and L2, and when they do not, learners must (re)assemble them into new configurations. Unlike the IH, FRH does not predict special difficulties with uninterpretable features. The results from the native speaker group show that they respect the semantic constraints in great measure, but show some variability with the syntactic restrictions by producing (unpredicted) null objects under some of the islands tested. Moreover, the results from the L2ers show sensitivity to the semantic constraint, although it is not as categorical as in the native group. Similarly, L2ers show sensitivity to the syntactic constraints in that they generally prefer explicit objects when these are generated inside islands, but it varies by island (not in the same way as in the NS group) and by speaker (group). In light of our results, we conclude that the results are more in line with the Feature Reassembly Hypothesis. Ultimately, these results show that adult L2ers are able to make distinctions which would not be expected if second language acquisition were fundamentally different from L1 acquisition and UG were inoperative in this population.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter examines three Sleeping Beauty retellings to illustrate the way dystopian scenarios complicate traditional fairy tale tropes. Dystopian literature and fairy tale retellings often feature elements of embodiment, romance, and political activism, and this chapter uses these key notions to consider how the dystopian fairy tale deploys feminist empowerment. While YA dystopian fairy tales often highlight collective action and social activism to resist the status quo, others reproduce troubling representations of passive heroines. This chapter argues that the dystopian YA fairy tale is uniquely primed to address the potential and power of contemporary young women.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter reviews the transition in children’s literature after the 1960s from colonialist to postcolonialist content as a framework for understanding contemporary Anglophone Caribbean children’s literature. Local voices integrated folklore into curricular material beginning in the 1930s, with far more expansive output after 1960. Writers offer historical and realistic fiction that countered colonialist paradigms. Waves of immigration to the US, Canada, and Great Britain (with its Caribbean Arts Movement) contributed to the rise of such literature, proliferating into children’s poetry, folklore, and rhyming books that integrating tastes of the region’s linguistic Creole-informed cadences. In the past two decades, festival awards, non-profit organizations, and local publishing houses have fostered the development of young adult literature that now treats problems common to the genre—emerging sexuality, mental health, sports, romance, and issues of identity. Writers address contemporary problems such as poverty, global warming, and political corruption through multiple genres popular among the age group including dystopian fiction, romance, mystery, and new realism, often laced with bits of Caribbean mythology.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Twenty-first-century werewolves (following vampires) have become humanised, as identity politics have become mainstream and the Other assimilated. Young Adult fiction and paranormal romance have proved to be where the most radical transformations of the theme have occurred. Two other, related, strands are to be found: ecology has shaped our understanding of creatures which oscillate between nature and culture, and the Ecogothic has generated more positive representations of hybridity and animality. There are now werewolf hauntings and sightings, and a revival of folkloric elements which posit the new werewolf as the spectre wolf. This chapter charts these recent shifts and manifestations. The focus throughout is on literature and contemporary urban myths involving werewolves in the media but similar incarnations of the new werewolf in film, TV, videogames and comics are also acknowledged.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter examines the ways in which technology influences the romantic behavior of emerging adults. From meeting new romantic partners to managing existing relationships to breaking up and recovering from breakups, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is entwined with romance. The ways in which CMC can objectify users and overwhelm them with too many choices are examined here. The chapter also examines dating apps as well as technologically influenced behaviors and challenges, such as “technoference” and sexting. The 29 study participants share their thoughts and experiences related to CMC and social networking sites, and how the inevitable presence of technology has affected their romantic lives.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter examines how emerging adults form identities in the domains of work and romance. Today’s emerging adults are motivated to self-actualize in both domains, but the path to that end is long and tortuous and now occupies most of their 20s. Emerging adults are now marrying, if at all, in their late 20s or early 30s. Friends and parents are providing the needed support that spouses once provided during the 20s decade. Studies reveal that men and women take slightly divergent pathways to adulthood, but that they ultimately share a similar vision in which both partners can have fulfilling careers while coming together for a committed long-term relationship. The delay of commitment allows for romantic experimentation and learning by trial and error, an opportunity that many emerging adults, particularly those who are well resourced, seem to be taking advantage of.

Abstract More than a century after Horatio Alger, Jr. achieved his greatest fame with Ragged Dick, the author s name stands as a symbol that has become associated with central values in the American political creed. Alger, author of over a hundred juvenile novels and stories (plus a few adult romances), which appeared from the late 850s until roughly the tum of the new century, has become a household name unlike almost any other. It is not because his works are still widely read or known, but because the name itself is a stand-in for ideas supposedly derived from his fiction that “Horatio Alger” has entered the language and discourse of daily life.

In this paper we will analyze to what extent Romanians are aware of the need to develop the research and innovation domains to promote progress in the coming years for Romania. The study is based on Romanians' answers to questions from a questionnaire attached to a Eurobarometer. Please note that the Eurobarometer used was completed in May 2021 and includes the opinions of 1050 adults from Romania. Basically, will be estimated the trends of Romanians' perceptions regarding the following aspects: SciSoc, NewTech, AreasRI, Explain. We specify below some details regarding the four mentioned fields of our study. So, SciSoc defines the variable attached to the answers to the question: “Do you think that the overall influence of science and technology on society is: very positive, fairly positive, fairly negative, very negative?”. The NewTech variable sets on a four-value scale the intensity of perception for the positive effect of ten new technologies on life orientation over the next 20 years. The variable AreaRI is attached to the Eurobarometer question “In the coming years, which of the following 13 areas do you think will be affected most by research and innovation?”. The answer to the question "Who is the best qualified to explain the impact of scientific and technological developments on society?" is characterized by the variable Explain. There are 15 possible answers. We defined the TREND indicator which is compatible with the classical stochastic ordering relationship between categorical ordinal variables of this study. The application of homogeneity statistical tests revealed perceptible differences of opinions between people belonging to different types of communities.

Personality theorists have been attempting an integration of personality theories in recent years, believing that there are three ways to integrate personality theories: by using better research designs that take into account all the complex and relevant factors involved in individual reactions; by emphasizing internal processes more intensely and emphasizing how people change over time. Costa and McCrae’s Five-Factor model (NEO-PI-R) has impressive correspondences with the alternative Guilford-Zimmerman factors (ZKPQ) used in the present research. The present research aims to identify the common factors behind the variables: coping mechanisms and personality traits in the alternative five-factor model, but also to reduce the complexity and number of variables in the research. The group of subjects consists of 260 adults, non-clinical population from Romania, aged between 22-65 years, and as a consequence of the factorial analysis it emerged that the variables correlate at a significant threshold (p = 0.0001), but have a weak common variance (4.96% - 12.71%). However, they correlate strongly with the main factor (r = 0.312 – 0.811), with a number of 7 factors (3 factors of coping and the Big Five traits, 4 factors only of coping).

Marketing specialists are realizing the need to perfect themselves in using online marketing as a priority method to promote their businesses and an ever growing number of young people that are graduating a university wish to start their own business or market one and understand that having a good grasp of digital marketing and how to use it in promoting and selling the company's products and services is essential in succeeding. Although online marketing distinguishes itself as a priority in developing and maintaining a business nowadays, the training offer for digital marketing is very weak. Digital Marketing Institute is a leader in Digital Marketing Education from Dublin, internationally accredited to deliver Digital Marketing training and e-training programs for corporations, also present in Romania since 2013. The program is structured in 10 relevant modules (delivered through videos, webinars and interactive e-workshops): Introduction to Digital Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, Email marketing, Display Advertising, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing, Web Analytics, Digital Marketing Campaign Planning and is delivered via the Moodle e-learning system. The modules are in video format, webinars and interactive e-workshops, presented by a trainer with expertise in their field. Chat sessions, forum discussions in the Moodle platform are regularly organized between trainers and participants in order to clarify any issues and give practical subject matter advice. The relevancy and utility of the information for attendants depends both on the curriculum as well as the human resources involved in delivering these modules. The present paper aims to identify the way in which the human resources involved in delivering these modules (the online marketing e-trainers) produce new and real digital marketing competences in adults that either choose to convert professionally at the end of their career in a certain field or are young adults aspiring to be entrepreneurs and online marketers. We are assessing the degree of satisfaction of participants in regards to how the e-trainers delivered, judging on criteria such as: Presentation skills, Involvement, Availability (for questions, discussions in the chats, forums and webinars), Professionalism and knowledge level in the field, the trainer's expertise in the field they are teaching. As research methods we have used document analysis and the survey-based research. The target group is formed of 100 adults with ages 24-46. Data evaluation was realized with the help of IBM SPSS, the results having indicated an optimal degree of satisfaction regarding the trainers' delivery of this course and they are very useful for the future improvement of e-teaching methods.
