Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Exploring Its Relationship with Self-Control and Self-Regulation in College Students

This study investigates the potential influence of self-control and self-regulation on Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) among students. FoMO is characterized by an apprehension of being excluded from significant experiences or opportunities. Individuals with low self-control may struggle to prioritize positive behaviors, potentially leading to heightened FoMO. Similarly, a lack of self-regulation, the ability to manage thoughts and guide actions towards goals, might exacerbate FoMO. The current research employs a quantitative, descriptive correlational design. The study population comprised 2,245 students from the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kerinci. A sample of 304 participants, representing 10 departments, was selected. Data collection utilized three validated scales: the Self-Control Scale, the Self-Regulation Questionnaire, and the Fear of Missing Out Scale. The hypothesis proposing a significant negative association between self-control/self-regulation and FoMO was supported (p < 0.05). This suggests that both self-control and self-regulation have a combined effect on FoMO. In simpler terms, individuals with greater self-control and self-regulation may experience lower levels of FoMO. Future research could explore specific factors contributing to FoMO development. Additionally, expanding the sample size might enhance the generalizability of findings.

The Effectiveness of Teaching Self-regulatory Strategies on Attention Deficit, Social Adjustment, and Self-efficacy in Children With Attention -Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Background and Aims One of the common childhood disorders is attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, which can be caused by a lack of self-regulation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching self-regulatory strategies on elementary students’ attention deficit, social adjustment, and self-efficacy in Tehran City, Iran. Methods This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. In this research, 100 students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder were selected by cluster sampling from 9-11 years old male elementary schools of District 16, Tehran City, Iran, in the 2018-2019 academic year. They were studied using the Conners questionnaire, attention-deficit questionnaire, general self-efficacy questionnaire, social adjustment questionnaire, and Russell Barkley’s 8-session educational protocol. Results he study’s results demonstrated the effect of self-regulatory strategic teaching on the reduction of attention deficit, increase in social adjustment, and self-efficacy of students in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Cognitive skills and instructional programs in early life play an essential role in children’s learning and self-regulation improvement. Furthermore, they can reduce the occurrence rate of long-term behavioral problems.

Technology-Based Strategies Predicated on Self-Regulated Learning in a Flipped Computer Programming Classroom

The lack of self-regulation is believed to be at the centre of learning difficulties experienced by novice programming students. The Flipped Classroom Model (FCM) is a constructivist pedagogical strategy that could be used to engage students in a programming classroom. While the traditional approach to learning remains a passive environment, the FCM enhances active learning, problem solving while facilitating an unlimited access to the learning content. However, the success of the FCM depends extensively on a student’s capability to self-regulate their learning process. As the FCM is a combination of face-to-face and online environments, Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) becomes more germane within the online dimension of the model. This study aims to identify the strategies for SRL that can improve the achievement of learners within a Flipped Programming classroom – specifically to reflect on the design features that should be considered for the adoption of technological tools to support SRL in a Flipped Programming classroom. This involved identifying relevant technological features to facilitate SRL strategies and the self-regulation phases leveraging a systematic review approach. The findings of this study could potentially maximise the student’s self-regulation capacity to learn programming within an FCM.
 

L-Arginine/nitric oxide pathway and oxidative stress in adults with ADHD: Effects of methylphenidate treatment

IntroductionAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that was once thought to occur only in children. Meanwhile, it is known that adults can also be affected. The first-line drug in children and adults to treat symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, lack of self-regulation, and hyperactivity is methylphenidate (MPH). Known adverse effects of MPH include cardiovascular problems, such as elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Therefore, biomarkers to monitor potential cardiovascular side effects of MPH are needed. The l-Arginine/Nitric oxide (Arg/NO) pathway is involved in noradrenaline and dopamine release as well as in normal cardiovascular functioning and is therefore a prime candidate for the search of biomarkers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the Arg/NO pathway as well as oxidative stress in adult ADHD patients in plasma and urine and the potential influence of MPH medication. MethodsIn plasma and urine samples of 29 adults with ADHD (39.2 ± 10.9 years) and 32 healthy adults serving as controls (CO) (38.0 ± 11.6 years) the major NO metabolites nitrite and nitrate, Arg, the NO synthesis inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and its major urinary metabolite dimethylamine (DMA) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. ResultsOf the 29 patients with ADHD 14 were currently without MPH treatment (-MPH) and 15 were treated with MPH (+MPH). Plasma nitrate concentrations were significantly higher in patients not treated with MPH vs. CO (-MPH 60.3 μM [46.2–76.0] vs. CO 44.4 μM [35.0–52.7]; p = 0.002), while plasma nitrite tended to be higher in -MPH patients (2.77 μM [2.26–3.27]) vs. CO (2.13 μM [1.50–2.93]; p = 0.053). Additionally, plasma creatinine concentrations were significantly different, with -MPH showing significantly higher concentrations than the other two groups (-MPH 141 μM [128–159]; +MPH 96.2 μM [70.2–140]; Co 75.9 μM [62.0–94.7]; p < 0.001). Urinary creatinine excretion tended to be lowest in -MPH group vs. +MPH and CO (-MPH 11.4 ± 8.88 mM; +MPH 20.7 ± 9.82 mM; 16.6 ± 7.82 mM; p = 0.076). None of the other metabolites, including MDA, a marker of oxidative stress, showed a difference between the groups. ConclusionAdult patients with ADHD, who are not treated with MPH (-MPH), showed varied Arg/NO pathway, but Arg bioavailability seemed to be consistent over the groups. Our findings imply that urinary reabsorption may be increase and/or excretion of nitrite and nitrate may be decreased in ADHD, resulting in an increase in the plasma concentration of nitrite. MPH seems to partially reverse these effects by not yet known mechanisms, and does not affect oxidative stress.

The research methods were as follows: analysis of special and scientific literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, methods of statistical data processing Results: The results of our research indicate the effectiveness of the method of psychological relief of patients who complained of physical, psychological overload, lack of mood, apathy, emotional imbalance – irritability, aggression towards others, uncontrolled experiences of traumatic situations. Conclusions: The proposed method of psychological relief, which helps to prevent psychological problems, correction of psychological state, provides psychological health through optimal use of psychophysiological reserves of the human body and reserves of aeroapiphytotherapy, has a number of significant differences from traditional: the method differs in that at each successive stage is aeroapiphytotherapy.

A Research about the opinions of pre-service Turkish teachers on the online education process

The Covid-19 virus, which emerged in Wuhan at the end of 2019, spread to the whole world in a short time, and became a pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, infected people were put in the quarantine process, and some people voluntarily got in quarantine. And the online operation is provided in many fields, such as education. This research, designed with the phenomenology method, was conducted to determine the opinions of 72 students (47 Females, 25 Males) about the online education process. The research data consisted of the answers given to the semi-structured interview form of 72 students. The collected data were analyzed as frequencies and percentages by creating codes and themes through content analysis According to the findings obtained from the data, 47% of the pre-service teachers were able to get efficiency from the course online, while 33% said that they could not get efficiency. 20% of the pre-service teachers stated that they did not entirely get efficiency. 80% of the pre-service teachers stated that they believed the lessons would be more productive if it held face-to-face. Pre-service teachers also listed problems such as lack of communication, inability to provide self-regulation and discipline, and internet connection problems as the supreme disadvantages of online education. The study concluded that pre-service teachers preferred face-to-face education due to the limitations of online education (lack of communication and interaction, lack of self-regulation and motivation, lack of technology such as the internet and computer, and so on).

School Disengagement Predicts Accelerated Aging among Black American Youth: Mediation by Psychological Maladjustment and Moderation by Supportive Parenting.

Early experiences of school disengagement may serve as a warning sign for later young adult adjustment difficulties and eventually contribute to accelerated aging among Black American youth. At the same time, supportive parenting may play a protective role. Using longitudinal data from the Family and Community Health Study (FACHS), we examined psychological maladjustment (comprising depression, lack of self-regulation, and low self-esteem) as a mediator of the relationship between school disengagement and accelerated aging. We also examined the effect of supportive parenting in buffering the impact of school disengagement on adulthood outcomes by controlling for covariates. Hypotheses were examined in a sample of 386 (Mean age = 28.68; Females = 62.7%; Males = 37.3%) Black American youth who were followed into young adulthood. Path modeling was used to test hypothesized relationships. We found school disengagement, i.e., problems with school attendance, performance, and engagement, reported across ages 10–18, predicted psychological maladjustment, which, in turn, predicted accelerated aging at age 29. We also found a buffering effect for supportive parenting. No significant gender difference in the indirect effect or buffering effect was found. This study highlights the potential importance of greater attention to school disengagement to identify and potentially influence long-term health trajectories and adult outcomes for Black American youth.

NIRS Hemodynamic Response to Methylphenidate in Children with Attention Aeficit Hyperactivity Disorder: First Administration, Titration Phase and Associations with Clinical Severity

IntroductionAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by lack of self-regulation and deficits in organizing behaviors in response to emotional stimuli. Methylphenidate (MPH) is one of the most effective psychostimulant drugs for ADHD, however, a possible predictive utility of brain hemodynamic data related to MPH administration and its relation to clinical symptomatology is still not clear. To address these questions, we used Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology, a non-invasive optical technique that allows to investigate the effect of psychopharmacological treatment on cortical hemodynamics.MethodsTwenty children with ADHD underwent a three-waves study and 25 healthy controls were recruited at W1. At W2 children with ADHD received first MPH administration and at W3 they reached the titration phase. At each phase children performed - during NIRS recording - an emotional continuous performance task with visual stimuli of different emotional content. Clinical data were also collected at W1 and W3. We investigated the relationship among the difference between NIRS activation at W2 and W1 (Delta1) and W3 and W2 (Delta2), for each subject, task condition and brain region. Lastly, we investigated correlations between the Delta1 and clinical symptomatology indexes at W1 and between Delta2 and clinical data at W3.ConclusionsOur study results suggest that hemodynamic changes in right prefrontal region probably induced by first MPH administration could predict hemodynamic changes related to MPH titration phase. These biological indexes could be associated to clinical evidences related not only to core ADHD symptoms but also to affective correlates.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

The Effect of Mood Change and Intuitive Eating Skills on Self-Regulation of Food Intake among Undergraduate College Students

ABSTRACT Background Mood change, lack of self-regulation, and eating in the absence of hunger cues are exacerbating determinants in college weight gain; however, the association between these factors is not known. Purpose This study aimed to examine the correlation between mood change, intuitive eating, and self-regulation of food intake among college students. Methods This cross-over study included 60 undergraduate college students 19.8 ± 1.43 years old (62.1% females, 74.2% Latinx). Students had two visits, one week apart. Participants completed intuitive eating and mood questionnaires. Participants watched an emotional movie, then participated in a buffet style lunch calorie compensation trial. Food intake was measured using plate waste. Self-regulation was measured objectively using compensation indices (COMPX). Results Self-regulation was significantly affected by both mood change and intuitive eating. Gender was found to significantly impact this model; however, Body Mass Index did not seem to have a significant effect. Discussion College students who rely on physiological cues of hunger and satiety and are less affected by environmental elements, seem to be able to regulate their intake better, and maintain healthier weight. Translation to Health Education Practice Teaching students to rely on bodily signals of hunger and satiety may be an effective approach to maintaining healthy weight.

Kontribusi Efikasi Diri dan Regulasi Diri Terhadap Pemaafan Diri Remaja yang Sedang Mengalami Masa Hukuman

The stigma of society in adolescents who experience the process of punishment makes the situation of teenagers worse off. This feeling of sinking occurs because teenagers have not been able to apply self-forgiveness to themselves, thus making themselves feel guilty, and ashamed of themselves. This feeling of shame and guilt occurs because of poor self-efficacy and lack of self-regulation in the teenager. So that self-efficacy and self-regulation are considered very important in bringing up self-forgiveness. This study aims to see how big the contribution of self-efficacy and self-regulation variables to self-forgiveness of adolescents who are undergoing punishment (n=36). Collecting data using a scale of self-regulation, self-efficacy and self-forgiveness then analyzed using regression techniques. The results of the study found that self-efficacy and self-regulation can significantly contribute to adolescent self-forgiveness, this is indicated by the value of f=5.285, probability p=0.01 (p<0.05), and an effective contribution of 24.3%.

Study of 18 months of follow up dir floortime intervention in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

IntroductionChildren in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a qualitative deficit in social interaction. The DIR/Floortime (Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder) is based on the Child’s Functional Development, Individual Differences and Relationships (D for development, I for individuality or individual differences and R for relationship), aiming at building the foundations for social, emotional and intellectual skills of children.ObjectivesTo determine the results of 18 months DIR/Floortime™ parent training for an additional benefit in encouraging children with ASD climbing the developmental “ladder”.MethodsThe participants are 15 children with ASD aged between 2 and 6 years-old. The follow-up occurs in two private DIR Floortime Model service centers in Brazil. Protocols: Functional Emotional Assessment Scale – FEAS and Functional Emotional Developmental Questionnaire – FEDQ. The participants were followed-up one on one every four months.ResultsAt the first month of assessment the children showed lack of self regulation, social interaction and engagement with their parents in a symbolic, sensory and motor play setting. At the following evaluations, they showed increase of social interaction and engagement in the same play setting. Besides the high affect of the parents during the play time promoted a two way purpose communication and behavioral organization.ConclusionsChildren showed a good development of functional and emotional capacities during the study period, demonstrating the effectiveness of the DIR/Floortime model in the intervention.

Do Academically Marginal Students Benefit from Emotional and Blended Learning Support?

Engaging all students at the same pace of learning is impossible for educators, and many low academic achievers commonly have low self-perception, low motivation and a lack of self-regulation for academic study. This paper attempts to explore the academic performance problems faced by Generation Z in the bottom quartile studying service marketing and their successful transformation story for their study at a community college in Hong Kong. A series of learning design activities, such as weekly online exercises (self-evaluation), weekly online videos and eTutorials were arranged for the class. This paper examines how students with low academic achievement responded in activities. Data archived in the learning management system on how they participated in activities and academic data performed by these students in mid-term test, quiz grade and final examination were used for analysis. Apart from the outside classroom activities, the teacher carried out individual consultations to address individual needs and provided additional time and effort to motivate students to learn. They subsequently made significant improvements in their final examination and recorded high satisfaction about their performance.

RELATIONSHIP OF SELF EFFICACY WITH SELF REGULATED LEARNING STUDENTS OF SMA N 1 LUBUK BASUNG

Ideally a student has good self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. Today it is found that students do not focus and concentrate in learning activities and doing assignments because of a lack of self-regulation in learning. This study aims to reveal (1) students' self-efficacy, (2) students' self-regulated learning, (3) to test the significant level of the relationship between students' self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. This research is a quantitative study with a correlational descriptive method. The study population was 955 students of SMA N 1 Lubuk Basung who were registered in the 2020/2021 school year. The number of samples is 285 students, obtained by using the Stratified Random Sampling technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire about self-efficacy and self-regulated learning with a Likert scale model. The data analysis technique used is descriptive technique using the percentage formula to see a picture of self-efficacy and self-regulated learning. Meanwhile, to test the significant level of the relationship between self-efficacy and self-regulated learning, the Pearson Product Moment Correlations formula is used. The research results reveal that; (1) the overall student self-efficacy is in the medium category (2) overall self-regulated learning is in the medium category (3) and there is a significant positive relationship between student self-efficacy and self-regulated learning with a r table of 0.113 and r count of 0.674 significant level of 0.000. This means that the higher the self-efficacy, the higher the students' self regulated learning.

Pendekatan Kualitatif Pada Persepsi Mahasiswa terhadap Kualitas Pendidikan Online

The quality of online learning in institutions of higher education has become a growing concern in recent years. While some studies have focused on faculty and administrator perceptions, there is a lack of research conducted on students' perceptions of the quality of online education.This study uses qualitative methods to investigate students' perceptions from two universities and one community college regarding the quality of online education based on their own online learning experiences.Interviews and observations were conducted with three students. Various documents are collected, digitally, and printed. Positive and negative experiences of students are examined. Factors contributing to the experiences were also identified. The findings of this study reveal that flexibility, cost-effectiveness, availability of electronic research, easy connection to the Internet, and a well-designed classroom interface are positive experiences for students. Student negative experiences are caused by delayed feedback from the instructor, lack of technical support from the instructor, lack of self-regulation and self-motivation, a sense of isolation, monotonous teaching methods, and poorly designed course content. These findings can be used by instructors to understand students' perceptions about online learning, and ultimately improve their online learning practices.

Bimbingan Kelompok dengan Teknik Self-Instruction untuk Meningkatkan Self-Regulation Siswa

Triggered by the importance of self-regulation, then this research was conducted in order to test the effectiveness of group guidance with self-instruction technique in order to enhance self-regulation of the students. Self-regulation is considered as the As card of human personality as it is assumed to be able to strenghten and increase the ability of a person to face the demand of live as well as act as a guide of behaviours of the person himself. In addition, lack of self-regulation will also cause wide range of problems specifically for the students as it may affect the academic achivement of the students themselves. Quantitative approach with quasy-experimental design was used in this research. Meanwhile, the research method used was Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The selection of the sample of the study was by using the purposive sampling technique, the total samples taken were 69 students, 39 students were placed in experimental group and other 30 students were in control group. The study found that in general the profile of the students’ self-regulation was on the moderate category, and empirically the group guidance with self-instruction technique was proven to be able to enhance students’ self-regulation.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Motor Behavior Checklist (MBC) into Brazilian Portuguese.

There are only a few instruments available to assess behavioral problems in school-age children based on reports of physical education teachers. The Motor Behavior Checklist (MBC) was designed to be completed by this professional in free play-situations or during physical education classes to rate students' motor-related behavior using 5-point Likert scales. The MBC comprises 59 items distributed into two broadband factors (externalizing and internalizing) and seven behavior problem scales: rule breaking, hyperactivity/impulsivity, lack of attention, low energy, stereotyped behaviors, lack of social interaction, and lack of self-regulation. The objective of this study was to describe the translation and cross-cultural adaptation processes of the MBC into Brazilian Portuguese. The following procedures were conducted: forward translation of the original instrument, production of a synthesized version, back-translation, literal and semantic comparison, back-translator's evaluation of divergent items, synthesized version with back-translator's suggestions, clarity assessment of the synthesized version by professionals (physical education teachers), focus group to assess clarity indicators of the instrument, evaluation of adjustments by the author of the instrument, and production of the final version. The results indicated a satisfactory level of agreement between the original and the back-translated versions, with 68% of exact equivalence between the translated items and 16% of terms requiring minor adjustments. In the draft version, 84% of the items were evaluated as clear by physical education teachers. The translated version has compatible content with the original version. Future studies should be conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the MBC.

Psychological readiness for innovation and individual-style self-regulation of police officers

It has been stressed that very demanding requirements for the effective management activity put forward for the heads of police departments. This activity should ensure the proper performance of professional duties by subordinate employees. The psychological readiness for innovation will allow the representatives of the police leadership to carry out an effective implementation of the strategy of ensuring the protection of individuals and society. The lack of self-regulation makes them vulnerable while taking important professional decisions.&#x0D; The objective of the article was the empirical study of the features of psychological readiness and individual-style self-regulation of the heads of police departments at different levels of readiness for innovation.&#x0D; The author of the research has used “Psychological Readiness for Innovation” (V. E. Klochko, O. M. Krasnoryadtseva) and “Style of Self-Regulation of Behavior” (V. I. Morosanova) methods. The sample consisted of 316 heads of police departments.&#x0D; It has been theoretically grounded that psychological readiness for innovation is an important professional feature of a police leader able to form his personal resource in terms of constant changes. Empirically, the highest number of correlation relationships was found within a group of leaders with an average readiness level, namely, it was recorded: a tendency to increase flexibility with a more active manifestation of initiative; the ability to set criteria for quality assessment is reduced while increasing the frequency of providing the benefits of activities that require innovation; increasing readiness for change leads to an increase in the ability to assess the results. It has been noted that leaders with a high level of readiness for innovation have increased flexibility with the growth of readiness for changes. With regard to law enforcement officers with a low level of readiness for innovation, it has been concluded that their programming capacity has increased as a result of an increase in the frequency of giving priority to activities that require innovation. It has been determined that such skills as flexibility, programming, correction and self-regulation can improve managerial activity of the leaders in the whole.

Conceptualizing Obesity as a Chronic Disease: An Interview With Dr. Arya Sharma.

Dr. Arya M. Sharma challenges the conventional wisdom of relying simply on "lifestyle" approaches involving exercise, diet, and behavioral interventions for managing obesity, suggesting that people living with obesity should receive comprehensive medical interventions similar to the approach taken for other chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes or hypertension. He purports that the stigma-inducing focus on self-failing (e.g., coping through food, laziness, lack of self-regulation) does not address biological processes that make obesity a lifelong problem for which there is no easy solution. Interdisciplinary approaches to obesity are advocated, including that of adapted physical activity. Physical activity has multifaceted impacts beyond increasing caloric expenditure, including improved sleep, better mood, increased energy levels, enhanced self-esteem, reduced stress, and an enhanced sense of well-being. The interview with Dr. Sharma, transcribed from a keynote address delivered at the North American Adapted Physical Activity Symposium on September 22, 2016, in Edmonton, AB, Canada, outlines his rationale for approaching obesity as a chronic disease.

The Academic Procrastination in Junior High School Students’ Mathematics Learning: A Qualitative Study

Among the main causes of low learning achievement in mathematics learning is a delayed behavior to do tasks, commonly called academic procrastination. The objectives of this research are to describe and to explain the causal factors and consequences of academic procrastination in learning mathematics for junior high school students. This research was conducted for more than five months. The research took place at six junior high schools in Madiun Regency. The research approach was a qualitative descriptive. The types of data sources were six mathematics teachers and six students, in-class mathematics learning activities, and documents. The data collection techniques were (1) questionnaire, (2) documentation, (3) passive role observation, and (3) in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using an interactive model, which was implemented in two stages. They are at the time or during the course of data collection and after the data collection. The results of data analysis show that academic procrastination is caused by several factors. They are assumption that the tasks assigned are not important, too burdensome, and difficult to work, insufficient knowledge, too perfectionist, bad management of learning, lack of self-regulation, stress and fatigue, lack of social support, indiscipline teachers, and inconducive school culture. Academic procrastination, most importantly, leads to low learning achievement.

Strategi Self-Regulated Learning untuk Menurunkan Tingkat Prokrastinasi Akademik Siswa

Academic procrastination is a behavior that should be avoided by students because it would give a bad influence, especially the academic achievement. One of the factors that lead to academic procrastination is lack of self-regulation in learning. Therefore, it is necessary for students to have self-regulated learning. This research aimed to test the self-regulated learning strategy to reduce the level of academic procrastination XI grade student of SMAN 1 Ngamprah of the academic year 2015/2016 West Bandung Regency.
