Formal Research Report or Q/AResearch Report / Individual Project (400 points)
Write a scholarly research report on a topic related to Software Engineering (see Appropriate Topics). Please see Important Notes and Document Details for detailed specifications.
Appropriate Topics:
The Research Report should consist of a comparative analysis of two programming languages of your choice.
Important Student Notes:
· Each student submission should be checked for plagiarism. Students should be warned that Turnitin has a very good historical memory and is capable of accessing reports from both internal and external resources (i.e. Universities, Governments, etc.) including those originally written in non-English written languages. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero (non-negotiable) for the assignment and may results in other university actions.
· Only one submission attempt is permitted – AS THE STUDENT TO BE SURE BEFORE DEPRESSING ENTER.
· Acceptable file formats for submissions include Microsoft Word (doc, docx) or Adobe Acrobat (PDF). No other formats are acceptable.
· The research paper must be at least 2,500 words supported by evidence (citations from peer-reviewed sources).
· A minimum of four (4) peer-reviewed journal citations are required.
· Formatting should be double-spaced, one-inch boarders, no extra space for headings, no extra white space, no more than two levels of heading, page numbers, front and back matter).
· Extra white space use to enhance page count will negatively affect student grade.
· Chapter 1 illustrates the document details of the research report and constitutes Background/Introduction, Problem Statement(s), Goal(s), Research Question(s), Relevance and Significance, Barriers and Issues related to topic chosen. Chapter 2 should consist of student paraphrasing the cited research material (i.e. what happened in case study x). Chapter 3 should be the reasoning for doing a basic compare/contrast or advantages/disadvantage of what was stated in Chapter 2 (do not state because the professor said so). Chapter 4 is a complete analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of what was stated in chapter 2. In effect, chapter 3 is a statement of what will be done and chapter 4 is what was done and what the findings were. Again, thus far the writing is objective and must not contain student opinion. Chapter 5 states results, conclusion, and future work recommendations. Here is where student opinion (or any researcher) can state their respective opinion as the student has now “done the work” and are justified in stating results.
· Graduate student are expected to be proficient in the use of the English language. Errors in grammar, spelling, or syntax will affect student grade. The Professor, will not provide remedial help for writing problems. If the student is unable to write clearly and correctly, the student should be urged to contact the program office for sources of remedial help.

Understanding Evolving Technologies
As we all know technology is evolving at a rate that, to some, seems overwhelming. These technologies often evolve to offer higher quality products and services at lower prices causing a disruption in markets that is sometimes perceived as unwelcome. These disruptive technologies are sometimes the results of innovative business models that are also part of the evolving processes of a competitive marketplace.
This is an individual research paper required from BA643 students.
As a Research Project, select one of the following research areas: Cloud Computing (Intranet, Extranet, and Internet), Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, or Medical Technology.

Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?

QualitativeQuantitative Dissertation Checklist· The purpose of janekahananbw
Qualitative/Quantitative Dissertation Checklist
· The purpose of the Dissertation checklist is twofold:
· Students: The checklist consists of components from the rubric and provides “tips” under each of the required rubric components. It is important for students to have consistency and clarity as they compose their dissertation for the chair/committee to read.
· Reviewers: The second focus is to provide the committee with a document which includes the same expectations so the number of times a dissertation is returned is minimized. As reviewers conduct a review of a dissertation/proposal they can use the checklist to help students recognize missing components and areas for improvement.
· The following provides guidance for writing and reviewing qualitative and quantitative studies. The areas relative to a specific methods (qualitative or quantitative) are noted in the highlighted areas where applicable as follows:
Qualitative
Quantitative
Qualitative/Quantitative Comments
· All items may not be relevant to your particular study; please consult with your chair for guidance.
· The checklist items may not necessarily be in the order that works best for your dissertation. Please consult with your committee and the dissertation guide; however, the checklist should work well in the absence of other considerations.
· Instructions for Students:
· Indicate on the checklist the page number (use the actual document page number, not the MS Word pagination) where the required information is located.
· Respond to comments from the chair, committee member and/or URR in the comment history box. Do not delete previous comments(just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (use different font/bold/italics/color; not highlights as those become very difficult to read comments through)
· Note: If your chair requires you to develop a change matrix, make sure you capture the chair and/or member’s comments, the specific actions you have taken to address the comments and the page number where your chair can find the changes that you have made in your document. (Note: specific actions are the actual changes in the document and not generalized comments such as corrected, deleted or changed).
· Instructions for the Chair/Committee Member and/or URR
· Provide specific feedback in the comment history column. Do not delete previous comments - add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (different font/bold/italics/color).
· If you made detailed comments on the draft (using track changes and comments), you can make reference to the draft rather than restate everything in the checklist comment history section. A way to show repetition of errors would be to attach the original review along with the current review in TaskStream or email.

Part 3 (Due 1/19/15)
To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the "Section B: Problem Description" assignment in Module 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists," available in the textbook appendix or electronically on the textbook student resource CD-ROM. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template," available in the textbook appendix. Use the "Evaluation Table Template" as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the projects problem and proposed solution. Make sure to do the following:
1) Include a description of the search method (e.g., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
2) Summarize all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
3) Incorporate a description of the validity of the internal and external research.
It is essential to make sure that the research support for the proposed solution is sufficient, compelling, relevant, and from peer-reviewed professional journal articles.
Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design in Module 3 with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
Refer to "NUR 699 Literature Support Holistic Assessment."
Upon receiving feedback from the instructor, refine Section C: Literature Support for your final submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

QualitativeQuantitative Dissertation Checklist· The purpose of janekahananbw
Qualitative/Quantitative Dissertation Checklist
· The purpose of the Dissertation checklist is twofold:
· Students: The checklist consists of components from the rubric and provides “tips” under each of the required rubric components. It is important for students to have consistency and clarity as they compose their dissertation for the chair/committee to read.
· Reviewers: The second focus is to provide the committee with a document which includes the same expectations so the number of times a dissertation is returned is minimized. As reviewers conduct a review of a dissertation/proposal they can use the checklist to help students recognize missing components and areas for improvement.
· The following provides guidance for writing and reviewing qualitative and quantitative studies. The areas relative to a specific methods (qualitative or quantitative) are noted in the highlighted areas where applicable as follows:
Qualitative
Quantitative
Qualitative/Quantitative Comments
· All items may not be relevant to your particular study; please consult with your chair for guidance.
· The checklist items may not necessarily be in the order that works best for your dissertation. Please consult with your committee and the dissertation guide; however, the checklist should work well in the absence of other considerations.
· Instructions for Students:
· Indicate on the checklist the page number (use the actual document page number, not the MS Word pagination) where the required information is located.
· Respond to comments from the chair, committee member and/or URR in the comment history box. Do not delete previous comments(just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (use different font/bold/italics/color; not highlights as those become very difficult to read comments through)
· Note: If your chair requires you to develop a change matrix, make sure you capture the chair and/or member’s comments, the specific actions you have taken to address the comments and the page number where your chair can find the changes that you have made in your document. (Note: specific actions are the actual changes in the document and not generalized comments such as corrected, deleted or changed).
· Instructions for the Chair/Committee Member and/or URR
· Provide specific feedback in the comment history column. Do not delete previous comments - add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (different font/bold/italics/color).
· If you made detailed comments on the draft (using track changes and comments), you can make reference to the draft rather than restate everything in the checklist comment history section. A way to show repetition of errors would be to attach the original review along with the current review in TaskStream or email.

Part 3 (Due 1/19/15)
To begin, work through the reference list that was created in the "Section B: Problem Description" assignment in Module 2. Appraise each resource using the "Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklists," available in the textbook appendix or electronically on the textbook student resource CD-ROM. The specific checklist you use will be determined by the type of evidence within the resource.
Develop a research table to organize and summarize the research studies. Using a summary table allows you to be more concise in your narrative description. Only research studies used to support your intervention are summarized in this table. Refer to the "Evaluation Table Template," available in the textbook appendix. Use the "Evaluation Table Template" as an adaptable template.
Write a narrative of 750-1,000 words (not including the title page and references) that presents the research support for the projects problem and proposed solution. Make sure to do the following:
1) Include a description of the search method (e.g., databases, keywords, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and number of studies that fit your criteria).
2) Summarize all of the research studies used as evidence. The essential components of each study need to be described so that readers can evaluate its scientific merit, including study strengths and limitations.
3) Incorporate a description of the validity of the internal and external research.
It is essential to make sure that the research support for the proposed solution is sufficient, compelling, relevant, and from peer-reviewed professional journal articles.
Although you will not be submitting the checklist information or the evaluation table you design in Module 3 with the narrative, the checklist information and evaluation table should be placed in the appendices for the final paper.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
Refer to "NUR 699 Literature Support Holistic Assessment."
Upon receiving feedback from the instructor, refine Section C: Literature Support for your final submission. This will be a continuous process throughout the course for each section.

You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major c.docxShainaBoling829
You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.
Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.
The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:
MEMO
Re: Charging Decisions
You are the primary investigator in the cases against Jones, Smith, and Thompson. As I review your reports, it appears that each of these cases has strengths and weaknesses that we should evaluate before we determine whether to file charges in the U.S. District Court, the Sedgwick County District Court for the State of Kansas, or the Wichita Municipal Court. I will summarize those strengths and weaknesses here to make sure I am reading your reports correctly. I need you to give me advice on where you think these charges should be brought.
Jones has been working for you as a confidential informant because you have evidence against him for a February 6, 2005 third possession of cocaine after convictions in 1993 and 1994. He appears to have followed the terms of his deal with you to introduce our undercover agents to his dealer. We have promised not to prosecute for any drug offenses he may commit in the presence of our undercover agent while playing the role of our informant. His assistance has enabled us to get sufficient evidence on Smith and Thompson to obtain convictions. Based on Jones’ two prior convictions for possession of cocaine, we would normally want him to go to federal court, where the maximum sentences are available. However, because of his cooperation, we could file the case in the Sedgwick County, Kansas, and district court under state law. We could even change the charge to a drug paraphernalia offense and send his case to the city of Wichita.
How do you think we should proceed concerning Jones' February 6, 2005 cocaine possession? (30%)
He will probably plead guilty unless we send him to federal court. Where do you want to file the case? (20%)
Smith has sold cocaine to our undercover agents on two occasions: July 12, 2005 and August 3, 2005. We have found no prior record on this individual, bu.

You are a police officer assigned to a task force that is investigating major drug trafficking operations in your jurisdiction. As part of the investigative process, a judge has issued a wiretap order for a suspect’s phone. You are assigned the responsibility of monitoring phone conversations, and you overhear the suspect as well as other individuals who may or may not be involved in the drug ring. Before obtaining enough evidence to arrest and prosecute the suspect, you hear evidence related to other types of criminal activity.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 900–1,200 words:
What constitutional issues are involved in the scenario that dictates what you can and cannot do related to the evidence of other criminal activity outside the scope of the original wiretap order? Explain.
If you arrest the other individuals for the crimes not associated with the reasons for the wiretap, what happens to any future evidence that might be obtained from the wiretap? Why?
If you fail to arrest the other individuals, are there any potential risks involved? Explain you answer.
Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

xxxx, great post. I agree that as technology has grown so has the influence of the media. It is now that we can see it as it is happening, but most time we have someone "telling us" what is happening. I agree that the public is given information passed on through society's filters. This can be dangerous depending on who is sending and releasing the information.
I also agree that our dress choices are influenced by the media, especially social media at this point. Some many other things are put out there and most time it’s a false image. It is sad that sometimes people build their lives upon social media and its "famous" people. It is sad that some people are not being themselves because they are following a lie on social media. As a people we must learn that it’s ok not to follow the masses and be ourselves, and not believe the lie that you are nothing if you don't have the life, the job, and the things that is portrayed in the media.

Yet society has in every possible way created the impression that only some are in God’s favor and the others out. By our dress, color, nationality, wealth, age, gender, education, language, looks, and health, others can recognize instantly whether we are blessed or cursed, beloved or rejected. There are enormous benefits in going along with this selective grading of human beings, and severe penalties inflicted for its rejection. For these that God does not sit atop the pyramid of power accidents of genetics and class determine one’s social location and power, and anyone who tampers with them undermines the foundations of unequal privilege. To say legitimating the entire edifice, does not favor some and reject others, is to expose the entire structure as human contrivance established in defiance of God’s very nature. ––Walter Wink

xxxxx comment 1
xxxxx, I believe America only sees left/right, liberal/conservative, one's race/others' race, one's religion/others' religion, etc. To be fair, there are important issues that we do face but the media has pulled both further from the center. This is done to keep us preoccupied in conflict so we ignore what is being done in front of our faces, which is politicians/media/wealthy elites are controlling the government/financial system/media to mold the public's views and what they buy. By them focusing on these secondary issues and differences, we are missing the root problem: money in politics. These legal bribes guarantee that we are not represented in legislation unless enough people oppose the current law.
Comment 2
Nicely said, it is amazing how money can be used to basically buy anything in the world, even our politicians. The Presidency, our Senators and Congressman, Governors, Mayor's and more. This allows for things like the rich getting richer and the poor or course getting poorer. It almost seems like there is no middle class anymore. Money plays a huge role in everyday life. Don't get me wrong, money and politicians has definitely been used in some cases for the good or doing the right thing. We cannot base everything evil or not perfect on money. We just have to be more responsible.

WWTC Active Directory Design
WWTC office at New York is largely autonomous and few IT personnel to take care of day-to-day IT support activities such as password resets troubleshoot virus problems. You are concerned about sensitive data store in this location. You want to deploy a highly developed OU structure to implement security policies uniformly through GPO automatically at all domains, OU, and workstations.
At this location Windows Server 2012 R2 is required providing the following
10 AD features
:
1.
Use BitLocker encryption technology for devices (server and Work station) disc space and volume.
2.
Enables a BitLocker system on a wire
d network to automatically unlock the system volume during boot (on capable Windows Server 2012 R2 networks), reducing internal help desk call volumes for lost PINs.
3.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Formal Research Report or QAResearch Report Individual Project (4
1. Formal Research Report or Q/AResearch Report / Individual
Project (400 points)
Write a scholarly research report on a topic related to Software
Engineering (see Appropriate Topics). Please see Important
Notes and Document Details for detailed specifications.
Appropriate Topics:
The Research Report should consist of a comparative analysis
of two programming languages of your choice.
Important Student Notes:
· Each student submission should be checked for plagiarism.
Students should be warned that Turnitin has a very good
historical memory and is capable of accessing reports from both
internal and external resources (i.e. Universities, Governments,
etc.) including those originally written in non-English written
languages. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero (non-
negotiable) for the assignment and may results in other
university actions.
· Only one submission attempt is permitted – AS THE
STUDENT TO BE SURE BEFORE DEPRESSING ENTER.
· Acceptable file formats for submissions include Microsoft
Word (doc, docx) or Adobe Acrobat (PDF). No other formats
are acceptable.
· The research paper must be at least 2,500 words supported by
evidence (citations from peer-reviewed sources).
· A minimum of four (4) peer-reviewed journal citations are
required.
· Formatting should be double-spaced, one-inch boarders, no
extra space for headings, no extra white space, no more than
two levels of heading, page numbers, front and back matter).
· Extra white space use to enhance page count will negatively
affect student grade.
· Chapter 1 illustrates the document details of the research
2. report and constitutes Background/Introduction, Problem
Statement(s), Goal(s), Research Question(s), Relevance and
Significance, Barriers and Issues related to topic chosen.
Chapter 2 should consist of student paraphrasing the cited
research material (i.e. what happened in case study x). Chapter
3 should be the reasoning for doing a basic compare/contrast or
advantages/disadvantage of what was stated in Chapter 2 (do
not state because the professor said so). Chapter 4 is a complete
analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of what was stated in chapter
2. In effect, chapter 3 is a statement of what will be done and
chapter 4 is what was done and what the findings were. Again,
thus far the writing is objective and must not contain student
opinion. Chapter 5 states results, conclusion, and future work
recommendations. Here is where student opinion (or any
researcher) can state their respective opinion as the student has
now “done the work” and are justified in stating results.
· Graduate student are expected to be proficient in the use of the
English language. Errors in grammar, spelling, or syntax will
affect student grade. The Professor, will not provide remedial
help for writing problems. If the student is unable to write
clearly and correctly, the student should be urged to contact the
program office for sources of remedial help.
· IMPORTANT - please refer to the following url for additional

Chapter 1 Introduction
Background/Introduction
In this section, present enough information about the proposed
work such that the reader understands the general context or
setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how the rest
of this document is organized.
Problem Statement
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy
problem addressed (i.e., why the work should be undertaken –
don’t say required for the class). Follow the statement of the
problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and
nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the
problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or
developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem.
Goal
Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e.,
4. what the work will accomplish). Aim to define a goal that is
measurable.
Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors
through the literature for a given problem area. What were the
open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not
find) them adequate.
Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they
read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or
left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of
their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are
affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact?
What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation?
Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the
consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem
and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to
the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?
Barriers and Issues
In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently
difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose
address the difficulties?
Chapter 2 Literature Review
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas
on which the student will need to focus the student research in
order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing
body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of
quality literature in a particular field that serves as the
foundation and justification for the research problem, research

Analysis of Self Compassion and Self Esteem between
Adolescents Engaged in Physical Exercise in the form of Gym
8. with those having Sedentary Lifestyle
Meghna Basu Thakur and Namrata Joshi
ABSTRACT
The present study seeks to explore the difference in self-
compassion and
self-esteem in adolescents who are engaged in physical exercise
through
gymnasium and those who aren’t involved in any such exercise
related activities
and are having sedentary lifestyle. The two scales consisted of
Neff’s Self
Compassion Scale and Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale. Results
show that self-
compassion was higher in the group involved in physical
exercise through gym
workout (Mean- 39.83) as compared to those who had sedentary
lifestyle (Mean-
36.86). Similar results were found for the other hypothesis of
self-esteem. That is,
the self-esteem was found to be higher (Mean= 23.76) in the
group of participants
who were involved in physical exercise through gym workout as
compared to
those who had reported having sedentary lifestyle (Mean =
18.16). Thus, the results
found in this study do indicate that exercise and sedentary
lifestyles are related to
self-esteem and compassion.

10. physical activities that women
are engaged in day to day basis. The sample included those
women who have been working
out in the gym for at least 6 months, with 30 minutes of
workout each day for at least 5
days a week. It is expected that if the person has an enrolled
membership in the gym there
are greater likelihood of they being more involved with the
similar kind of activities.
Another vital reason to include those adolescents only who were
actively involved in
physical activities through gym was that there will be more
uniformity in terms of the
quality of the exercise regime that is followed. Having said
this, adolescents who were
involved in physical activities in the form of other forms of
exercises like aerobics, yoga,
zumba and so on were excluded from the study for the above
mentioned reasons.
Sedentary Lifestyle
A sedentary lifestyle is a type of lifestyle with no or irregular
physical activity. It also
refers to a group of behaviors that occur whilst sitting or lying
down while awake and
typically require very low energy expenditure. Sedentary
activities include sitting,
reading, watching television, playing video games, and
computer use for much of the
day with little or no vigorous physical exercise.
Self Compassion
Self-compassion entails being warm and understanding toward
ourselves when we
11. suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or
flagellating ourselves
with self-criticism. Self-compassionate people recognize that
being imperfect, failing,
and experiencing life difficulties is inevitable, so they tend to
be gentle with themselves
when confronted with painful experiences rather than getting
angry when life falls
short of set ideals.
Self Esteem
Self-esteem reflects a person’s overall subjective emotional
evaluation of his or her
own worth. It is a judgment of oneself as well as an attitude
toward the self. Self-
esteem encompasses beliefs (“I am competent”, “I am worthy”)
and emotions such
as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Smith and Mackie
(2007) defined it as “The
self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem is the
positive or negative
evaluations of the self, as in how we feel about it.”
Adolescents
Adolescence describes the teenage years between 13 and 19 and
can be considered
the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. The
physiological changes that take
place can lead to confusion, anxiety over bodily issues. The
physical appearance is one of

the apparent reasons for the self-esteem in adolescents.
Constant evaluation by peer
groups, perception of the romantic partner’s idea about the body
can lead to a lot of
pressure. Thus the external appearance tends to naturally
increase in importance for
sometime during a teen’s journey toward adulthood.
Need for Study
With increase in awareness about health, healthy lifestyle, and
anxiety about self -
image, body, varied ailments, it is important to study various
psychological factors
related to exercise. The way these factors are related to the
adolescent population
where self-evaluation of body image, evaluation of self-image,
it calls for the attention
in how factors like self-esteem and compassion are affected
through all this. Self- esteem
and self-compassion has been closely related to exercises in the
previous findings related
to health, exercise and other related factors. Hence, there was in
need to study the
impact of exercise and sedentary lifestyle on self-esteem and
compassion.
13. Review of Literature
Self-esteem is thought of as vital in helping to maintain
performance levels, as well as
keeping up the motivation to push that little bit harder in the
gym or while running on
the streets. Performing well in sport and exercising regularly is
also thought as ways
of boosting self-esteem (e.g. Fox, 2000). Other type of self-
concept that is as adaptive
in sport and exercise or more adaptive - Self-Compassion. It is
emerging as a healthy
conceptualization of the self (Neff, 2003a).
Unlike self-esteem, which is based on the degree to which we
evaluate ourselves as
competent in important areas of life (James, 1890), self-
compassion is not contingent on
self-evaluations, judgments, and comparisons to determine our
self-worth (Coopersmith,
1967; Harter, 1999). Instead, self-compassion will remain
constant through ever-changing
life circumstances. In exercise it could be a drop in motivation,
fatigue or physical pain.
Growing body of research suggests that self-compassion is
strongly associated
with psychological health. Higher levels of self-compassion
have been associated with
greater life satisfaction, emotional intelligence, social
connectedness, learning goals,
wisdom, personal initiative, curiosity, happiness, optimism, and
positive affect, as well
as less self-criticism, depression, anxiety, fear of failure,
thought suppression,
14. perfectionism, performance goals, and disordered eating
behaviors (Neff, 2009).
Research has found that self-compassion and self-esteem are
inter-correlated,
ranging from 0.57–0.59 using the Rosenberg scale (Leary et al.,
2007; Neff, 2003a; Neff
et al., 2008). This moderate association makes sense given that
self-compassion and
self-esteem both represent positive self-attitudes. Also, people
who lack self-compassion
are likely to have lowered feelings of self-worth because they
are so self-critical and

hard on themselves. In contrast, those with high levels of self-
compassion are likely to
have heightened feelings of self-worth because they are kinder
and more accepting of
themselves (Neff, 2003a). There is also research evidence to
suggest that self-compassion
offers mental health benefits that self-esteem does not.
METHDOLOGY
Objectives of Study
The primary goal was to study the adolescent population who
tend to evaluate
15. themselves more in terms of body image, ideal self-image,
making them more prone
to the negative self-evaluation. Hence, it is vital to study how
there can be difference
in the self-esteem and self-compassion within adolescents with
and without any
involvement to gym exercise.
HYPOTHESIS
There is a difference in the Self Esteem scores obtained from
adolescents who are
actively involved in physical exercise through gym workout and
those who are having
a sedentary lifestyle.
There is a difference in the Self Compassion scores obtained
from adolescents
who are actively involved in physical exercise through gym
workout and those who
are having a sedentary lifestyle.
The Independent Variable was presence and absence of physical
exercise
manipulated at two levels-adolescents who were involved in
physical exercise and
those who had sedentary lifestyle.
The physical exercise was defined as adolescents who were
engaged in any form
of physical exercise by working out in gym from at least last six
months for at least 30
minutes per day and for at least 5 days week.
On the other hand sedentary lifestyle was defined as no
involvement in any form
16. of physical exercise with an intention to work out in physical
form in daily routine.
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
The total score obtained on the following:
Neff’s Self Compassion Scale.
Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale.
Design
Random groups design with one Independent Variable having
two levels. The two
groups consisted of the adolescents in the age range of 14- 19
years. One group consisted

Lifestyle
69
J. Psychosoc. Res.
of those who were engaged in the physical exercise through
involving themselves in
gym workout (n= 30). While the other group was those who had
sedentary lifestyle
(n= 30).
Sample Description
17. The questionnaire was given to the adolescents who were in the
age range of 14-19
years old. The sample consisted of adolescents who were
engaged in physical exercise
by going to gym from at least last six months for at least 30
minutes per day for at least
5 days week and those adolescents who had sedentary lifestyle,
where there was no
form of physical exercise in which they were involved. This was
analyzed by asking
open ended questions about their daily routine. After which, the
participants filled up
the given questionnaires.
Measures Used (tools)
Self-compassion was measured using the 26-item Self
Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff,
2003a). Responses are made on a 5-point scale ranging from 1
(almost never) to 5
(almost always). In this study, the subscale scores weren’t taken
into account.
Global self-esteem was measured using the 10-item Rosenberg
Self-Esteem Scale
(RSES; Rosenberg, 1965). Participants respond on a scale from
0 (strongly disagree) to
3 (strongly agree), with higher scores indicating higher self-
esteem. Composite scores
were created by summing the items after negative items were
reverse coded.
Data Analysis
The data was analyzed using SPSS package. Descriptive
18. statistics were derived from
the sample responses. The collected data was also analyzed for
the inferential statistics
in the form of t-test for random groups design with one
independent variable having
two levels.
RESULTS
The two hypotheses of the self-esteem and self-compassion
were compared in terms
of sedentary lifestyle and physical exercise group of
adolescents.
A total of 60 individuals participated in the research study. 30
participants were
from the group where adolescents who reported being actively
involved in physical
exercise through workout in gym since last six months for at
least 30 minutes per day
for at least 5 days week. On the other hand 30 participants were
adolescents who
reported having sedentary lifestyle.

As seen in Table 2, Inferential statistics table for self-
compassion and self-esteem
of both the groups (Physical Exercise Group and Sedentary
lifestyle group), the t-test
value obtained for the self-compassion group was 1.708 was
observed to be significant
at 0.05 level, two tailed with df 58 . Thus, the obtained findings
signify that the results
are statistically significant. On the other hand the t-test value
obtained for the variable
self-esteem was found to be 4.54 significant at 0.0005 level,
two tailed. Thus, the obtained
findings signify that the results are statistically significant. That
is, there is a significant
difference observed between the means of the two groups.
The obtained results have thus gathered evidence in support for
the research
hypothesis 1 which states that - There is a difference in the Self
Esteem scores obtained
from adolescents who are actively involved in physical exercise
through gym workout
and those who are having a sedentary lifestyle.
Also to mention that similar results are obtained for the
research hypothesis 2
which states that “There is a difference in the Self Compassion
scores obtained from
adolescents who are actively involved in physical exercise
through gym workout and
those who are having a sedentary lifestyle” can be accepted.
DISCUSSION
22. The primary goal was to study the adolescent population who
tend to evaluate
themselves more in terms of body image, ideal self-image,
making them more prone
to the negative self-evaluation. Hence, it is vital to study how
there can be difference
in the self-esteem and self-compassion within this population
with and without any
involvement to gym exercise. This study provides evidence that
self-esteem and self-
compassion is related to well-being in the exercise context.
Through the obtained results described in the previous section it
is clear that
both the hypothesis have got assembled support statistically.
These results suggest
much promise for the construct of self-esteem and self-
compassion as a way to promote
a healthy conceptualization of the self for adolescent exercisers.
The finding that self-
compassion and self-esteem was related to exercise related
behaviors should not be
surprising, given the links described earlier between the self-
compassion and self-
esteem literature.
Neff et al. (2005) suggested that because being self-
compassionate promotes a
greater sense of self-worth and less self-evaluation, feelings of
self-worth are fostered
that outlast situational difficulties.
Leary et al. (2007) showed that individuals high in self-
compassion were less
influenced by raters’ evaluation of disclosure of personal
23. information. This finding in
this study suggests that adolescent exercisers who are self-
compassionate might also
Meghna Basu Thakur and Namrata Joshi
J. Psychosoc. Res.
72
be less influenced by others’ evaluations in group exercise
settings.
Having stated all these, it is also crucial to talk about self-
esteem and self-
compassion in relation to each other as concepts. Leary and
MacDonald (2003) spoke
specifically to the differences between self-esteem and self-
compassion by explaining
that self-esteem is based on believing that the self is valued by
others, while self-
compassion is based on positive feelings to care for oneself.
Those groups of adolescents who reported having low self-
esteem were those
who weren’t involved in any form of physical exercises. One of
the possible reason to
no involvement in physical activity might be due to the view
that the task (physical
exercise) is difficult which they may face challenging in
mastering it. Thus, no
involvement in physical can lead to low self-esteem or low self-
esteem itself has led to
no involvement in any form of physical exercises.
24. People who already have higher self-esteem for other reasons
may be more
motivated to exercise compared to those who have lower self-
esteem. Notably, while
some experiments have shown that the effect of exercise on
self-esteem is positive
(e.g., McAuley, Blissmer, Katula, Duncan, & Mihalko, 2000),
and others have shown
no effect (e.g., Walters & Martin, 2000)
From the evidence obtained in this study it is clear that physical
activity can be an
effective intervention to enhance self-esteem. However, not all
physical activity
interventions are effective and some may even be detrimental to
self-esteem. Therefore
it is important to consider the underlying mechanisms for how
and why physical activity
improves self-esteem. Further research is required to understand
the role of exercise
programme duration in the exercise and self-esteem
relationship.
It can be tentatively stated that one way to increase an
individual’s self-esteem
and self-compassion is through exercise. By increasing self-
compassion and esteem of
an individual, one would be more apt to engage in healthy
behaviors such as effectively
dealing with stress, managing their weight, complying with a
healthy diet, cessation
of smoking, and adhering to exercise.
For many people it is difficult to start a regular exercise
program because of
25. numerous factors such as perceived barriers, lack of support, or
low self-efficacy, financial
support, motivation, accessibility to gym, awareness about the
importance of physical
exercise. Before generalizing the results it is crucial to consider
these factors that can
hamper one’s intention to go for exercise regime.
Limitations
This study fails to give an impression if the relationship
between self-esteem and compassion
towards exercise related behaviors is bidirectional or not. The
generalizability of these

Adolescents Engaged in Physical
Exercise in the form of Gym with those having Sedentary

findings may be limited to areas with similar population
demographics.
Further research is needed to compare the effect of varying
exercise intensities
and durations on both the constructs. Also more studies are
necessary which examine
the effects of different types of exercises, i.e. aerobic exercise
vs. weight training, on
self-esteem and self-compassion.
26. The potential for social desirability exists. The gender
differences weren’t covered
in the study.
CONCLUSION
The study was conducted on adolescents who were engaged in
physical exercise
through gym and those who had sedentary lifestyle. The major
focus was to study the
impact of exercise related behaviors on the self-esteem and self-
compassion. The
obtained data states that both groups differed in their measured
self-esteem and
compassion. The self-esteem and compassion was higher in the
group of adolescents
who reported engaged in physical exercise through gym.
Implication of Research for Social Policy and Planning
In this era of exponential growth of the “metabolic syndrome”
and obesity, lifestyle
modifications could be a cost-effective way to improve health
and quality of life. An
essential component of lifestyle modification is exercise. This
study focused on how
exercise can be related to mental health in terms of the
psychological factors like self-
compassion and self-esteem. The results found in this study do
indicate that exercise
and sedentary lifestyles are related to self-esteem and
compassion and they can
essentially be considered as one of the proponent factors in
increasing the self-esteem
and self-compassion.
27. Researchers are still working out the details of that action: how
much exercise is
needed, what mechanisms are behind the boost exercise brings,
and why — despite all
the benefits of physical activity — it’s so hard to go for that
morning jog. But as
evidence piles up, the exercise-mental health connection is
becoming impossible to
ignore.
In sport and exercise, self-esteem is thought of as vital in
helping to maintain
performance levels, as well as keeping up the motivation to
push that little bit harder
in the gym or while running on the soggy streets on a winter’s
morning. Performing
well in sport and exercising regularly is also thought as ways of
boosting self-esteem
(e.g. Fox, 2000). Indeed, holding this assumption, as Mosewich
et al., (2011) noted,
there exists a body of research dedicated to identifying sport
environments and
instructional strategies to nurture positive self-esteem
(Patterson, 1999; Weiss, 1993).
There any other types of self-concept that are as adaptive in
sport and exercise, or
Meghna Basu Thakur and Namrata Joshi
J. Psychosoc. Res.
74
28. possibly even more adaptive is Self-Compassion. Self-
compassion is emerging in the
literature as a healthy conceptualization of the self (Neff,
2003a).
Research on the link between self-compassion and age is mixed.
While one study
found that self-compassion had a small but significant
association with age (Neff &
Vonk, 2009), another study found that the self-compassion
levels of college students
were no higher than those of high-school students (Neff &
McGeehee, 2010). Still, this
issue needs to be explored further. It may be possible that
people become more self-
compassionate later in life, especially if they reach the stage of
integrity proposed by
Erikson (1968), which involves acceptance of the self.
Keeping all of the above mentioned things in mind, exercise
should be made
mandatory in hospital setups, health care units, and mental
health centers. Having a
regular exercise program, with the workshops and training
sessions on self-efficacy,
