Boredom Proneness and Self-Control as Unique Risk Factors in Achievement Settings.

The state of boredom arises when we have the desire to be engaged in goal pursuit, but for whatever reason we cannot fulfil that desire. Boredom proneness is characterized by both frequent and intense feelings of boredom and is an enduring individual difference trait associated with a raft of negative outcomes. There has been some work in educational settings, but relatively little is known about the consequences of boredom proneness for learning. Here we explored the unique contributions of boredom proneness, self-control and self-esteem to undergraduate self-reported higher grade point average (GPA). Within educational settings, prior research has shown self-control and self-esteem to be associated with better academic performance. In contrast, boredom proneness is associated with lower levels of self-control and self-esteem. Our analyses replicate those previous findings showing that self-control acts as a positive predictor of GPA. Importantly, we further demonstrated, for the first time, that boredom proneness has a unique contribution to GPA over and above the contribution of self-control, such that as boredom proneness increases, GPA decreases. We discuss potential mechanisms through which boredom proneness may influence academic performance.

The Contribution of Self-Control towards Student Smartphone Addiction

<span lang="EN-US">The presence of smartphones has caused major changes in human life, including among students. This causes the problem of smartphone addiction in students which causes their daily life to be disrupted. This study aims to reveal the contribution of self-control towards student smartphone addiction. This study was descriptive quantitative, and the data were analyzed by using a simple linear regression. The population in this study was 33480 students of undergraduate program at Universitas Negeri Padang in 2015-2019 academic year. The sample of this study was 400 students taken by using the Proportional Random Sampling technique. The research instrument used was the self-control and smartphone addiction scale with a Likert scale model. The research findings revealed that self-control gives an effective contribution towards the student smartphone addiction at Univeristas Negeri Padang as many as 30.1%.</span>

The contribution of self control to students’ discipline

Good self control will lead individual to have discipline behavior. This research aims to describe the contribution of self control to students’ discipline. This research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The subject of the research was 275 students. Scale was used to collect the data which consist of Self Control Scale and Students’ Discipline Scale. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistic method and simple regression with SPSS version 20. The research findings shows significant contribution of self control to students’ discipline. Thus, self control gives significant impact to students’ discipline. This findings is based on data analysis which shows r score 0,590 means there is strong relationship between self control and students’ discipline.

Contribution of Self Control and Peer Conformity to Consumptive Behavior

The occurrence of consumptive behavior among adolescents is caused by several internal factors such as self-control, talents, interests, values, self-concepts and knowledge and learning outcomes. External factors such as social class, family, culture, peers, and situations. Psychological factors such as information processing and learning.This study aims to describe the contribution of self-control and peer conformity to the consumptive behavior of students in Kisaran Private IT High Schools. The research method uses a quantitative approach with descriptive correlational type and multiple regression. The population of this study was 57 high school IT private high school students in class X and the sample of 50 students were selected using proportional random sampling. The research findings show that: (1) on average, self-control is in the very high category, (2) peer conformity is also in the very high category, (3) consumer consumptive behavior is categorized very well, (4) there are 51% contribution of self-control to consumptive behavior, (5) there are 34% contribution of peer conformity to consumptive behavior, and (6) there are 60% contribution together with self-control and peer conformity towards consumptive behavior.

The Role of Self-Control and Identity Status as Predictors of Internet Addiction among Israeli-Palestinian College Students in Israel

The rising immersion of the internet within global society has been associated with an increased risk of internet addiction, and prevalence rates are particularly high in Arab countries. Notably, adolescents living in Arab societies may have unique challenges that may elevate the likelihood of exhibiting internet addiction, though this population is understudied. Thus, the current work investigated whether self-control and identity style were related to internet addiction among a sample of Israeli-Palestinian adolescents. Participants (n = 500) completed self-report measures to assess the associations of self-control and four identity styles (achieved, diffused, foreclosed, and moratorium) with internet addiction. Correlational analyses and a multiple regression model were used to examine these associations. The multiple regression model demonstrated that (1) higher levels of self-control predicted lower levels of internet addiction (β = − .20, p < .01); (2) achieved (β = − .24, p < .01) and moratorium (β = − .22, p < .01) statuses predicted lower levels of internet addiction; and (3) foreclosed (β = .18, p < .01) and diffused (β = .16, p < .01) statuses predicted higher levels of internet addiction. These findings are consistent with previous literature in samples from Western cultures regarding the contribution of self-control and identity style in decreasing risky behaviors in general and addictive behaviors specifically. Thus, the current research indicates the importance of these variables in non-Western societies as well.
