Consistency creates order and helps build confidence. Active student participation in educational processes as part of a management strategy contributes to positive classroom behavior. Purpose of the article: This study examined the effects of an intervention program based on cognitivebehavioral principles on the assimilation of the common semantics of discipline management in the classroom. The intervention program was conducted in the context of discipline and behavior management and general classroom management over one year with thirty 4th grade students in an elementary school. Methods: The research is action research within a qualitative method. The data was mainly analyzed thematically. This, along with a quantitative measurement of behavior change based on participant reports. Findings & Value added: The results show that the application of the cognitive behavioral principles for behavior management in the classroom leads to a better social and emotional climate, reduces violence, and increases students' well-being, sense of protection and belonging, and classroom skills. The intervention program and its outcomes form the basis for a general model of classroom management, discipline management, and behavior management. Because there are clear principles guided by defined goals, phases, and tools, this model can be applied to other environments and needs in terms of environmental management, goals, and objectives for review, accuracy, and optimization.

Concurrently, studies have emphasized the positive effects of nature exposure on well-being and the importance of integrating cultural heritage with tourism experiences. These findings serve as a foundation for Ein Qiniyya's approach to promoting sports tourism to address these challenges while embracing the village's unique cultural and natural attributes.
Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to explore the potential of promoting sports tourism in Ein Qiniyya to revitalize well-being and social bonds amidst the Age of Screens.
Methods: This article is grounded in a comprehensive literature review that encompasses research on sedentary lifestyles, the impact of screen-based interactions, nature's influence on well-being, cultural heritage in tourism, and sustainable practices. Through this review, a nuanced understanding of the challenges posed by the Age of Screens and the potential of sports tourism in Ein Qiniyya has been developed.
Findings & Value added: Findings suggest that by leveraging Ein Qiniyya's unspoiled nature and vibrant cultural heritage, sports tourism can counter sedentary lifestyles, foster face-to-face interactions, and offer authentic experiences that resonate with visitors. In conclusion, the development of internal and external sports tourism in Ein Qiniyya presents significant economic growth and recognition potential. However, addressing challenges such as infrastructure development, funding, stakeholder engagement, and marketing strategies is imperative for success. Overcoming these obstacles will position Ein Qiniyya as a thriving sports tourism destination, yielding economic growth and a heightened reputation. Embracing sports education and tourism can strategically transform Ein Qiniyya into a vibrant city that values active lifestyles, community cohesion, and its unique identity.

Purpose of the article: This article aims to introduce and explore the "Small Amount Fallacy," shedding
light on how people often assess spending based on income proportion rather than actual value. It delves
into cognitive biases like Diminishing Sensitivity and Loss Aversion, establishes a theoretical framework
linking the fallacy to mathematical analogies, emphasizes its implications for personal finance and policy,
and suggests avenues for future research to enhance financial decision-making.
Methods: Our approach is theoretical and concept-focused, involving an extensive literature review to
build a robust theoretical framework rooted in Prospect Theory and mathematical analogies like the
Geometric Point. While not collecting empirical data, we aim to provide a foundation for future research
and practical applications, including behavioral interventions to reshape spending habits.
Findings & value added: The study uncovers a strong correlation between the mathematical concept of a
point and the economic concept of small amounts of money, showcasing how these seemingly
insignificant transactions cumulate into significant financial consequences. Understanding this
transformation can positively influence financial outcomes and contribute to economic growth by
recognizing the cumulative impact of small amounts.
Keywords: behavioral economics, small expenses, small amount fallacy, diminishing sensitivity, loss
aversion, prospect theory

Research background: Psychological flexibility, rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) principles, has gained recognition as a vital trait for leaders. It involves adapting to changing circumstances, managing emotions effectively, and staying aligned with personal and organizational values. Research in this area explores how leaders who cultivate psychological flexibility among themselves, and their teams can foster innovation, resilience, and a culture of continuous learning in the workplace. Human leadership emphasizes the holistic well-being of employees, recognizing them as individuals with unique needs and aspirations. It emphasizes empathy, ethical conduct, and work-life balance as core principles. Studies in this domain explore how human-centered leadership practices contribute to employee satisfaction, retention, and the ethical integrity of organizations, ultimately driving long-term success.
2. Purpose of the article: This article aims to explore and elucidate the significance of psychological flexibility and human-centered leadership in the context of the 21st-century workplace. It aims to provide insights into how these concepts shape modern leadership practices and their impact on organizational culture, employee well-being, and overall effectiveness.
3. Method: A quantitative survey was administered to a broader cross-section of professionals across different sectors to investigate the interplay between psychological flexibility, human leadership qualities, and their impact on thriving in the 21st-century social space.
4. Findings & Value Added: We found that by incorporating psychological flexibility into human leadership, managers can cultivate a work environment characterized by nurturance and growth that embraces change, fosters collaboration, and empowers employees to thrive amidst the dynamic challenges of the contemporary working place social spaces.

This integrated study, presented here, is a stage in a broader study that examined the relationship between psychological flexibility, educational elements, and various components that take part in shaping and assimilating perceptions and attitudes towards disabilities. The study presented here was conducted in two parts: The first part included data collection and quantitative analysis from 153 adult subjects to understand the statistical relationship between psychological resilience and attitudes toward disability. The second part included integrated data collection and analysis, quantitative and qualitative, from 60 respondents, 30 children, and 30 adults, to deepen our understanding regarding the correlations between psychological flexibility and the approach towards disabilities and the understanding of components that affect the correlation. The study shows a positive correlation between psychological flexibility and an attitude towards disabilities, and contributes to deepening the understanding of components that have different effects on this relationship.
