67008 | The Impact of Language Choice on Emotional Access in Therapy for Bilingual Patients

Maria Pilar Bratko, Smith College, School of Social Work, United States

This mixed-method study explored how and when personal disclosures take place in bilingual therapy within a dyad that uses a shared native language of Spanish and a second-learned language of English. An explanatory sequential mixed methodology comprised of two phases was used. Phase one collected data from a quantitative 40-question online survey, (N=101), that was active from November 2020 – January 2021. Descriptive statistics, cross tabulations, plus the Ethnic Identity Scale-Basic (Phinney, 2003), and the Bidirectional Acculturation Scale (Marin & Gamba, 1996) were used to analyze survey data. Phase two was a qualitative semi-structured interview of participants who were recruited from phase one, (n=19). Interviews took place from February 2021 – May 2021, A constant comparative method using grounded theory was utilized to analyze interview transcripts (Charmaz, 2008; Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The results and findings support that a bilingual clinician experiences a language-based difference when making personal disclosure in treatment due to the immigration experience, identity with one’s ethnicity, level of acculturation to the host culture, and professional experience in providing bilingual therapy, specifically, ethnocultural and psycholinguistic considerations.

67525 | Empirical Research on Consumers’ Intention to Use a Facial Recognition System: An Integrated Model With Perceived Playfulness, Security, and Innovation

Chun-Hua Hsiao, Kainan University, Taiwan

Kai-Yu Tang, National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan

Of the many biometric measurements, fingerprints are probably the most used, especially in smartphones as a substitute for passwords. As for the face recognition system, many people feel that it is unnecessary and even violates privacy. With the outbreak of covid-19, governments have taken severe measures to track people's movements to prevent the spread of the pandemic. For example, restaurants, supermarkets, and convenience stores have implemented temperature measurements and QR code verification scanners. As international travel restrictions are relaxed and the number of tourists going abroad surges, airports have installed facial recognition systems for passengers to save time and speed up processing. In this situation, are consumers embracing the technology for its convenience? Or boycott it out of privacy concerns? This study aims to investigate consumers’ willingness to use facial recognition systems and their influencing factors to answer the above questions. The technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) were adopted as theoretical underpinnings. Some influential factors, including perceived playfulness, perceived security, and innovation were also incorporated based on the literature. A questionnaire survey was used as the research method and structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the empirical data (302 valid questionnaires). The findings suggest that consumers’ perceived security has the greatest impact on attitudes toward facial recognition systems, followed by perceived playfulness and usefulness. In terms of intention to use a facial recognition system, innovation had the largest influence, followed by attitude and subjective norms.

| Factors Associated With Videoconference Fatigue Among Healthcare Workers in a Tertiary Government Hospital

Alena Superficial, National Children's Hospital, Philippines

Elsie Lynn Locson, National Children's Hospital, Philippines

Jonna Marie Whang, National Children's Hospital, Philippines

OBJECTIVE: Determine the presence of videoconference fatigue (VCF) and factors associated with it.

METHODOLOGY: Approached through an analytic, cross-sectional research design using a non-probability, convenience sampling. A validated, reliable 15-item Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue (ZEF) tool was distributed online to physicians and nurses in National Children’s Hospital, Philippines The respondent’s demographic and videoconference (VC) profile were obtained as well. Data were analyzed using between-group comparisons approach and univariate binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Out of the 237 respondents, 189 or 79.75% experienced VCF. Majority experienced fatigue on all constructs with general (85.23%), motivational (79.75%), visual (68.78%), emotional (67.09%) and social (64.98%,) fatigue. Further key findings: 1. VCF is more prevalent in the younger age group (21 to 39 years old) manifesting an overall VCF of 79.89 %. 2. Medical officers (MOs) were 3.10 times more likely to have overall VCF than those who are non-medical officers. 3. More frequent use of VCs increased the likelihood of VCF. 4. VCF was more prevalent in those who are single (63.49%). 5. Negative attitude towards VCs increased the likelihood of developing overall VCF by 4.13 times compared to those with a neutral attitude.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study provided us with new insights into videoconference fatigue (VCF) and its relationship between age, work position, marital status, and negative attitude. RECOMMENDATIONS: Open-ended questions, interviews or small group discussions, and larger sample population size are recommended. Effects of VC fatigue on HCWs’ well-being and how they cope with this fatigue should be further explored.

67701 | Syncretic Discourses: How Multilingual Children Configure Linguistic Funds of Knowledge in Everyday Communication

Xiao-lei Wang, Adelphi University, United States

James Paul Gee defines Discourse as how we talk, act, and react. Multilingual children are exposed to more than one linguistic system and culture. Is it possible that their Discourse entails nuances? This paper focuses on the Discourse of two simultaneous trilingual male siblings from age 1 to age 19. It suggests that immersion in different linguistic systems and cultures affords multilingual children a unique style of Discourse that any single linguistic system is incapable of achieving by itself. Multilingual children are able to configure their funds of knowledge, such as cross-linguistic mixing, phonological-semantic manipulation, cross-linguistic language play and nonverbal cues, to form a syncretic Discourse in which they create new meanings, optimize communicative intent, and negotiate their multilingual identities. The paper concludes with suggestions on how our educational systems can benefit from connecting multilingual children’s Discourse developed in the home or cultural context to the Discourse in the classroom context.
