Emotional Competence and Sexting among University Students Kristina Sesar 1 University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Arta Dodaj 2 University of Zadar, Croatia Ana Kordi ć3 University of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between sexting and emotional competence. A total of 440 students from the University of Mostar took part in this research, aged from 18 to 25 years (M=21.32, SD=1.84). The participants completed the Scale of Sexting Behaviour, and The Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire. The results of the study showed that 23.64% students had participated in receiving and sending sexually suggestive or provocative contents, whilst 10.23% had openly publicized such content. Young men participated to a greater extent in sexting in comparison with young women, and were less successful in recognition and understanding emotions, as well as in regulating and managing emotions. The data analysis revealed that the participants with lower results on the scale of emotional competence were involved more often in receiving, sending or publishing sexually suggestive or provocative contents.

    HONORING OUR PAST, SHAPING OUR FUTURE 2013– 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING ALVIN “AL” MCNEILLY ’44 made gifts to the University of Maine over more than 39 consecutive years prior to his death on June 19, 2014. His lifetime giving totaled more than $800,000, including generous matches from his longtime employer, ExxonMobil. UMaine established the Loyal M Society in 2013 to recognize donors like McNeilly, whose faithful giving has made a tremendous difference to the state’s land grant university. A committed volunteer, McNeilly served as president of both the University of Maine Alumni Association and the President’s Development Council. More recently, he initiated a “class adoption program,” in which the Class of 1944 mentored the Class of 2010, sharing UMaine traditions that cross generations. “It’s hard to imagine a more loyal alumnus than Al,” says Todd Saucier, president of the University of Maine Alumni Association. “Al was very involved at UMaine as a student through his membership in Kappa Sigma, Sophomore Owls and Senior Skulls, and as treasurer and vice president of his class. His leadership was also evident in his service as captain of the baseball team. Al credited UMaine for much of his professional and personal success, and was truly one of a kind in his enthusiasm for our university.” “From our first moments on campus, Al charged us to make the most of our time at UMaine and to leave an impact on the school well after we graduated. His commitment to the university for a full 70 years as an alumnus inspires all who knew Al or were touched by his efforts.” Matt Ciampa ’10 2 0 1 3 – 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF PRIVATE GIVING CONTENTS Letter from President Susan J.

Thanks to you, we are able to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff, and engage with communities throughout and well beyond our state. Without generous alumni and friends, our campus would look very different. Our grounds, research and teaching laboratories, concert and lecture halls, museums, sports facilities, and student living and learning spaces have been transformed as a result of personal generosity and thoughtfulness. As President, my hours on campus range “Whether you have been widely, including very early in the morning on my way to our New Balance Student inspired by your own student Recreation Center.
