Yayın The psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism: a qualitative study(IGI Global, 2021-06-25) Güvenç, Gülden; Til Öğüt, DamlaThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to an extensive deterioration of many industries including the global tourism industry. There has been a strong need for psychology-informed research on tourism that investigates the impact and implications of the pandemic. This chapter is based on a qualitative study that included 60 individuals, recruited through snowball sampling method, 10 females and 10 males from three age groups. Participants were sent an online survey, querying their feelings and thoughts regarding tourism during and after the pandemic, to investigate the psychosocial impact of the pandemic on the population's tourism-related representations, decisions, and emotions. The data was subjected to thematic analysis that would reflect the social representations of the participants and the effects of the pandemic on these representations. Findings were discussed from social and clinical psychology perspectives, particularly via Maslow's and Fiske's theories and the discursive psychology perspective that aim to unfold decision-making processes and motivation underlying human actions.Yayın University education in developing economies: access, competition, and neglect(Springer International Publishing, 2016-01-01) Staub, Donald FrancisThere is little disputing the link between education and economic development, whether at the level of the nation or the individual. There is abundant support of this tenet. However, at a global level, there appear to be fewer instances where a strategic effort is made by governments to effectively establish and sustain this linkage. This is particularly the case in developing, or emerging economies where governments may have made a commitment to a fully functioning education system-from pre-school through graduate school-yet a gap remains between design and implementation of the education system and realization of economic growth for individuals and the nation. This chapter discusses two critical factors that impede many developing countries from closing the gap. The first is access to quality higher education. The second is the lack of attention in primary and secondary education systems paid to the noncognitive, social, and emotional development of students so that they emerge from their education as healthy, stable, contributing members to the economy of their nation. Access to higher education in many developing countries has increased dramatically since the 1990s, due in large part to the growth in the number of private higher education institutions. Access does not guarantee that it will be a quality experience. Students may graduate only with large debts from tuition loans, yet with no employment to help pay for them. In addition, data clearly shows that affective and non-cognitive traits, which are teachable, can contribute to greater levels of innovation and economic growth, and fewer emotional and disciplinary issues at school and, further on, in the workplace.
