The role of sense belonging within an educational context has been well-documented. Previous studies on belongingness using OECD-PISA data showed that the degree to which students feel a their school varies across countries. current study extents prior findings by analyzing relationship between and perceived competitiveness cooperation in schools 2018 PISA cycle, including from 76 Perceived all...

Employee well-being and organisational performance have been linked to leaders' inclusive behaviours. The primary objective of this study was examine the impact a leader's behaviour on employees' (eudaimonic) mediating role sense belongingness. target population taken from different organisations various sectors through non-probability sampling (convenient). SEM's (structural equation modelling...

Abstract The issue of the effects travel on subjective well-being (SWB) has recently attracted increasing interest in transport studies. A common finding is that affects SWB indirectly through out-of-home activities. However, little known about how to operationalize this relationship. In study, we proposed a conceptual model and estimated structural equation models relating mode use activities ...

The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior (Joiner, 2005) proposes that the need to belong is fundamental; when met it can prevent suicide and when thwarted it can substantially increase the risk for suicide. We investigate one source of group-wide variation in belongingness among college students--changes in the social composition of college campuses across academic semesters-...

The need to belong can motivate belief in God. In Study 1, 40 undergraduates read bogus astrophysics articles "proving" God's existence or not offering proof. Participants in the proof-for-God condition reported higher belief in God (compared to control) when they chronically imagined God as accepting but lower belief in God when they imagined God as rejecting. Additionally, in Study 2 (72 unde...

Few empirical studies have explored the mechanisms through which racial identity, the importance of racial group membership, affects well-being for racial/ethnic minorities. Using a community sample of 161 African American adults, the present study examined whether the association between racial identity (centrality, public regard, and private regard) and life satisfaction is mediated by two id...

Research implicates experiences of discrimination in exacerbating cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk. Belongingness has been suggested as a buffer against the adverse effects discrimination. However, when occurs an environment to which one feels they belong, then potential benefits belongingness may dissipate or even exacerbate In present study, we examined these competing hypotheses on how cam...

Four experiments are reported that investigated the role of the perceived coplanarity of a moving target with respect to a frame of reference in the third dimension on the perceived path of that target. When a target dot and small moving frame appeared coplanar, the dot's perceived trajectory was governed entirely by its changing position relative to the moving frame. However, when the target a...

This paper proposes the algorithm ProSum to perform the supervised classification of the data. In the proposed algorithm data is fuzzified by using π–type membership function to give the feature belongingness of each pattern to each class. By using Product aggregation reasoning rule (PARR) and sum aggregation reasoning rule (SARR), the belongingness of each pattern to each class is determined. ...
