(IME - 2013/2014 - 2 FASE) ARE YOU A FACEBOOK ADDICT? Are you a social media enthusiast or simply a Facebook addict? Researchers from Norway have developed a new instrument to measure Facebook addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. The use of Facebook has increased rapidly. We are dealing with a subdivision of Internet addiction connected to social media, Doctor of Psychology Cecilie Schou Andreassen says about the study, which is the first of its kind worldwide. Andreassen heads the researchproject Facebook Addiction at the University of Bergen (UiB). Anarticle about the results has just been published in the renowned journal Psychological Reports. She has clear views as to why some people develop Facebook dependency. It occurs more regularly among younger than older users. We have also found that people who are anxious and socially insecure use Facebook more than those with lower scores on those traits, probably because those who are anxious find it easier to communicate via social media than face-to-face , Andreassen says. People who are organised and more ambitious tend to be less at risk from Facebook addiction. They will often use social media as an integral part of work and networking. Our research also indicates that women are more at risk of developing Facebook addiction,probably due to the social nature of Facebook, Andreassen says. Six warning signs As Facebook has become as ubiquitous as television in our everyday lives, it is becoming increasingly difficult for many people to know if they are addicted to social media. Andreassens study shows that the symptoms of Facebook addiction resemble those of drug addic addiction, and chemical substance addiction. The Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale is based on six basic criteria, where all items are scored on the following scale: (1) Very rarely, (2) Rarely, (3) Sometimes, (4) Often , (5) Very often, and (6) Always. You spend a lot of time thinking about Facebook or planning to use of Facebook. You feel an urge to use Facebook more and more You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems. You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success. You become restless or troubled if you are prohibited from using Facebook. You use Facebook so much that it has had a negative impact on your job/studies. Andreassens study shows that scoring often or very often on at least four of the six items may suggest that you are addicted to Facebook.

(IME - 2013/2014 - 2 FASE) WHY IS HANDWRITING IMPORTANT? Jotting down a shopping list, writing a birthday card, taking down a phone message, completing a form at the bank .handwriting is part of our daily lives. It is on show to others and may be used to make judgments about us. Writing has a very long history. It began as simple pictographs drawn on a rock, which were then combined to represent ideas and developed into more abstract symbols. Just like our writing today, early symbols were used to store information and communicate it to others. In recent years, modern technology has dramatically changed the way we communicate through writing. However, despite the increased use of computers for writing, the skill of handwriting remains important in education, employment and in everyday life. Time devoted to the teaching and learning of letter formation in the early years will pay off. Legible writing that can be produced comfortably, at speed and with little conscious effort allows a child to attend to the higher-level aspects of writing composition and content. This is important when assessments are based on written work, particularly in time-limited written examinations, which remain as a major form of assessment for many formal qualifications. Without fast and legible handwriting, students may miss out on learning opportunities and under-achieve academically. Beyond formal education, most employment situations will involve at least some handwriting and many require the communication of critical information (e.g. medical notes, prescriptions). Thus, handwriting with pen and paper still has an important role from early childhood through our adult lives, but more and more, people are shifting from paper to electronic modes of communication. Interestingly though, many personal computers now have handwriting recognition capability so that handwriting as means of interacting with computers is becoming more pervasive. It seems, therefore, that even in this modern age, handwriting remains an important skill for communication. Disponvel em: http://www.nha-handwriting.org.uk/handwriting/why-is-handwriting-important.
