21 The Impact Of Media On Violence Cases In Society Lala JABBAROVA, Baku State University Media is one of the main resources that the society receives information from about events happening around. Media strives to bring light upon realities, cases of aggression and violence. However, lack of control on quality of information together with its quantity may result in dangerous consequences. This article deals with psychological analysis on impact of media on the criminal situation in the society, as well as connection of crime level with information about aggression and violence. Also, statistical information has been the subject of the research in the article. The results of the research indicate that frequent and exaggerated way of passing information with aggressive character without taking into consideration its possible psychological impact increases aggression and violence level in the society. Besides, it has been defined that broadcasting scenes of aggression brings to acceptance of these cases as usual and makes people get used to them. In order to avoid it, it is important not to remove aggressive information from Mass Media completely, but present it taking into account their psychological effect. Keywords: Media, violence, aggression, crime statistics 1

25 Internet Addiction And The Tendency To Express Emotions Zeynep Oktuğ, İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, Turkey, Social media applications become integral parts of daily life. People begin to live their emotions through these applications. Studies show that the main reason of using social networks among individuals, is making social relations easier. But because of the excessive use of internet, the person can fall short off the real world, and that can give way to izolation, loneliness and depression. Trying to decrease these emotions through establishing relations in virtual world, the person can be deprived of the benefits of face to face communication. This can effect their tendency and capacity to express emotions. The aim of this study is to analyze whether a gender-based difference exists between internet addiction and the tendency towards expressing emotions; to examine the relation between internet addiction and the ability to express emotions and to determine whether the degree for expression of emotions is a meaningful predictor of internet addiction.

33 Influence of Ramadan Dialectics (physical & spiritual) During Psychological Preparation of Young Football Players Abbas Djamal, Bouira University, Algeria, During the holly month of Ramadan, the period of food and liquid intake depends on sunset and sunrise. Ramadan moves back in the calendar by about ten days a year. Thus, the probability that major sporting events being held during Ramadan is great. Developing practical and appropriate strategies to ensure competitiveness to athletes and players regarding health, psychological aspect and physical performance becomes a significant issue. The psychological aspect appearing through the motivation may constitute a very important measure helping to face stress and anxiety, induced by the sudden change of the way of life in Ramadan. Generally, during the second week, we may observe, on one hand, a progressive human adaptation of the young athletes and, on the other hand, a disturbance in the biological rhythm which leads to a level of tolerance to the temporary pain, thus to behavioural problems. In the present approach, we will deal with dialectics between physical and spiritual aspects of Ramadan related to the corporal and psychological preparation of young Algerian football players of ten (10) clubs in the first professional league, so that to preserve performance and general health.

Our research studied the effectiveness of a first-year college program in lessening academic and/or career indecision among freshmen students. 973 freshmen (506 enrolled in this first-year program and 467 in a degree program) participated in a survey designed to map indecision and its sources (indecision-related issues) throughout their first semester. We examined the impact of orientation interventions and learning conditions on student orientation trajectories (indecision and its sources). We will present empirical evidence on critical ingredients that can help relieve indecision, as well as orientation steps taken by students themselves and events in their education experience that can contribute to lessening indecision.
