The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale was originally developed in the 1960s to provide a brief self-report measure of children's self-concept. The Piers-Harris 2 represents an update and revision of the original scale, with the goals of enhancing its psychometric properties and ease of use while maintaining compatibility. Key changes include a new nationwide normative sample, reduction of items from 80 to 60, and updated computer scoring and reporting. The theoretical model of self-concept and scoring approach remain largely the same. The revisions aim to provide researchers and clinicians with an improved yet familiar tool for assessing children's self-perceptions.

The document discusses the sexualization and exploitation of women in human trafficking. Some key points:
- Women and girls make up 95% of human trafficking victims who experience physical or sexual violence. 43% are sex slaves, nearly all women and girls.
- Human trafficking is a $31.6 billion global industry. Victims are typically between 18-24 years old, and 1.2 million are children.
Ageing is a natural process that involves physical, psychological, and social changes over time in humans. While some abilities decline with age, such as reaction time, other abilities can grow, like knowledge and wisdom. Research shows that development and growth are still possible even late in life. Population ageing is occurring globally as life expectancy increases and birth rates decrease. Successful ageing involves maintaining good physical and cognitive health and an active lifestyle. The causes of ageing include a decline in immunity, cells, strength, and adaptation over time. Common physical, mental, emotional, social, and economic changes that occur with ageing are also described.
Age discrimination can take many forms and negatively impact older individuals. This document discusses age discrimination in the healthcare context. It begins by outlining goals of defining age discrimination broadly, examining types that occur in healthcare, and exploring the social history that led to common stereotypes about the elderly. Several activities are proposed to help reflect on one's own perceptions. Age discrimination can be personal, institutional, intentional, or unintentional. Stereotypes are discussed as being exaggerated and harmful. The embodiment of stereotypes over the lifespan through psychological, behavioral and physiological pathways can negatively impact health outcomes. Addressing ageism is important for physicians to provide non-discriminatory care to older patients.
The document discusses ageism and stereotypes about older people, noting that ageism is unfairly limiting opportunities based on age. It explores common myths and stereotypes about older people, such as that they are frail or incapable, and how these can negatively impact older individuals and their care. The document advocates combating ageism through actively working to change stereotypes, learning about each older person as an individual, and promoting their participation in the community.
The document discusses the social aspects of aging. It describes how social life involves language, gestures, interactions and relationships that help connect individuals and communities. Socially healthy aging involves maintaining dignity and positivity, while socially unhealthy aging can include irritability and isolation. Cultural attitudes towards aging vary between European-American, Asian, Hispanic and African-American communities. The document also examines common myths about aging and debunks them, such as the myths that aging always causes illness, reduced mental sharpness and lack of interest in sex. It describes the factors of successful aging as life satisfaction, social support, health, financial security and personal control.
