유아의 자기통제가 적응과 부적응에 미치는 영향에 대한 다층메타분석

The present study conducted a multi-level meta-analysis of studies published in Korea between 2012 and August 2022 to examine the effect of self-control on adjustment and maladjustment among young children. A total of 196 studies were analyzed, including 110 master's and doctoral theses and 86 journal articles using the metafor package in the RStudio 43.1 software program. The number of samples included was 51,102 young children. Among the results of this meta-analysis are the following. First, in the analysis testing for the effects of self-control subdomains (self-regulation, intentional control, immediate gratification, emotional regulation, emotional dysregulation), the effect of self-control on children's adaptation showed a large effect size, and it showed a medium-sized effect on children's maladjustment. Second, the next step involved a series of meta-analyses to identify the effect sizes of self-control subdomains on adjustment subdomains. Among young children, self-regulation had the largest impact on play immersion, and among children, it had the largest impact on leadership. Emotional regulation had the greatest impact on young children's externalizing behavior problem and game addiction. Third, there was no moderating effect of self-control on the adjustment and maladjustment of young children depending on the publication type. However, there was the moderating effect depending on the year of publication. In conclusion, it had implications in that it provided a direction for follow-up research on self-control and provided evidence that can be used for education, counseling, and policies to intervene with self-control.

The Interplay of Mental Budgeting, Self-Control, and Financial Behavior: Implications for Individual Financial Well-Being

According to behavioral finance, people are not always rational in managing their finances. The financial stability of a person is directly linked with the spending style and pattern of the individual. This research investigates how mental budgeting influences financial behaviors and altogether financial stability, with a focus on the moderating effect of self-control. To explore this, we studied 294 people to see how mental budgeting affects their financial management and well-being, and how self-control plays a role in this process. A self-administered questionnaire was adapted to gather responses of the employees working in various organizations in Lahore. Smart PLS and SPSS were utilized to analyze and measure the responses collected from respondents. This study found that people are able to better manage their finances when they use mental budgeting. Similarly, there is clear evidence that mental budgeting has an association with financial well-being and financial behavior. The path coefficient uncovers the moderating impact of self-control on financial management behavior and financial wellness. These findings suggest that teaching people about mental budgeting and self-control in financial education programs might help them make better financial decisions. This study adds to our understanding by showing how these factors work together to influence financial behavior, highlighting the need for more tailored financial advice that considers both mental budgeting and self-control. This research helps clarify how people can better manage their finances through both mental strategies and behavioral control, contributing valuable insights into effective financial management practices.

The Effect of Future Time Perspective on Internet Dependence Among College Students in Pandemic Time: A Moderated Mediation Analysis.

Social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly increased the probability of Internet dependence. This study sought to examine the relation between future time perspective and college students' Internet dependence, as well as the mediating role of boredom proneness and the moderating effect of self-control in the link between boredom proneness and Internet dependence. A questionnaire survey was carriedoutamong college students from two universities in China. A sample of 448 participants varying fromfreshmento seniors completed questionnaires on future time perspective, Internet dependence, boredom proneness and self-control. Results indicated that college students with high future time perspective were less likely to fall into Internet dependence and boredom proneness mediated this relationship. The relation between boredom proneness and Internet dependence was moderated by self-control. Boredom proneness had a greater impact on Internet dependence for students with low self-control. Future time perspective could influence Internet dependence through the mediating role of boredom proneness, which is moderated by self-control. The results advanced our understanding of how future time perspective affected college students' Internet dependence, revealing that intervention strategies which could improve students' self-control would be instrumental in reducing Internet dependence.

Antecedents of Risky Financial Investment Intention among Higher Education Students: A Mediating Moderating Model Using Structural Equation Modeling

The current study examines the direct effect of investment awareness and university education support on students’ risky financial investment intentions. Additionally, it examines the mediating effect of social influence and the moderating effect of self-control on these relationships. For this purpose, we directed an online questionnaire to senior students at three public universities in Saudi Arabia. The results of SmartPLS showed positive significant effects of investment awareness and university education support on social influence towards investment. The results also showed direct positive significant effects of investment awareness and university education support on students’ risky financial investment intentions. The results confirmed a partial mediating effect of social influence on the link between investment awareness and university education support on students’ risky financial investment intentions. Moreover, self-control was found to have a moderating effect on the link between investment awareness, university education support and social influence. Self-control failed to confirm the other moderating effects; i.e., the link between university education support and investment awareness, nor the link between investment awareness, university education support and risky financial investment intention. Implications of these findings for academics and policymakers to stimulate investment intention among higher education graduates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) are discussed.

Perceived stress and mobile phone addiction among college students during the 2019 coronavirus disease: The mediating roles of rumination and the moderating role of self-control

This present study aimed to examine the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of self-control in the link between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction during the COVID-19 epidemic. A total of 628 college students completed Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale, Smartphone Addiction Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale and Self-Control Scale. Mediation analysis highlighted that rumination mediated the association between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction. Moderated mediation analysis indicated that the indirect association between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction were moderated by self-control. Between the COVID affected group and the unaffected group, some differences also be observed in the moderating effect of self-control. This study emphasize the importance of rumination and self-control in understanding the possible mechanisms underlying the relationship between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction, which can be used to develop interventions to reduce the problematic behavior among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Influence of Face Loss on Impulse Buying: An Experimental Study.

In this research, the effect of face loss on impulsive buying is examined under the background of Chinese culture. Using experimental studies, we examined the mediating effect of emotion and the moderating effect of self-control. The results indicate that individuals who lost their face are more likely to purchase impulsively. For individuals high in self-control, face loss has no significant impact on their impulsive consumption. While for those with low self-control, face loss will significantly enhance their impulsive buying tendency. Finally, implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Childhood Maltreatment and Mobile Phone Addiction Among Chinese Adolescents: Loneliness as a Mediator and Self-Control as a Moderator.

Previous studies have found that childhood maltreatment is an important risk predictor of adolescent mobile phone addiction (MPA). However, little is known about the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this association. Grounded in the Basic Psychological Needs Theory and the organism-environment interaction model, this study examined the mediating effect of loneliness and the moderating effect of self-control in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and adolescent MPA. A total of 981 Chinese adolescents (Mage = 13.68 years, SD = 0.92) completed measures regarding childhood maltreatment, MPA, loneliness, and self-control. After controlling for participants’ demographic variables, loneliness partially mediated the relation between childhood maltreatment and adolescent MPA and this indirect path was moderated by self-control. Specifically, the effect of loneliness on MPA was stronger for adolescents with lower self-control than for those with higher self-control. Our research provides additional evidence for the negative association between childhood maltreatment and MPA.

Substance use for restaurant servers: Causes and effects

Restaurant industry employees have historically exhibited a high tendency toward substance use. To address this phenomenon, this study aimed to assess if a restaurant front-of-house server’s work stress contributes to alcohol and illicit substance use. Specifically, it was hypothesized that a server’s role stress (conflict and ambiguity) would stimulate substance use. Also, this study tested the impact of substance use on job and life satisfaction, and the moderating effect of self-control on the relationship between role stress and substance use. The results demonstrated that role ambiguity had a positive influence on substance use. Servers’ drug use had a positive influence on job satisfaction, but no significant influence was found for alcohol use. As hypothesized, job satisfaction significantly increased life satisfaction. Lastly, self-control moderated the relationship between role stress and substance use. Detailed results and implications of the findings are provided in the main body of this paper.

A study of the effect of adolescents’ overuse of internet on their cyber delinquency : Focusing on the moderating effect of self-control

본 연구는 청소년의 인터넷과다사용과 사이버비행의 관계에서 자기통제력의 조절효과를 탐색하고, 인터넷과다사용이 사이버비행에 미치는데 있어 그 영향력을 조절할 수 있는 자기통제력을 강화하기 위한 실천서비스를 모색함에 있다. 이를 위해 경상남도 지역의 중학생 251명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 변인간의 관계를 살펴보고자 Pearson의 상관분석을 실시하였으며, 인터넷과다사용과 사이버비행에 있어 자기통제력의 조절효과를 살펴보기 위하여 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 중다회귀분석은 예측변인과 조절변인을 평균중심화하여 적용하였으며, 조절효과의 크기와 통계적 검정력(povwer)을 제시하였으며, 자기통제력이 사이버비행에 미치는 효과인 단순회귀선의 통계적 유의미성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 인터넷사용이 높으면 사이버비행 수준이 높아지는데, 자기통제력이 낮은 집단인 경우는 사이버비행의 변화량이 크지만, 자기통제력이 높은 집단의 경우는 그 변화량이 상대적으로 적게 나타났다. 그러므로 인터넷과다사용이 사이버비행에 미치는 영향은 자기통제력 수준에 따라 달라진다고 볼 수 있으며, 자기통제력은 사이버비행에 영향을 주는 동시에 인터넷과다사용과 상호작용하여 사이버비행에 영향을 주는 유사 조절변인으로 검증되었다. 이를 바탕으로 청소년의 인터넷과다사용을 감소시키고 조절변인인 자기통제력을 향상시켜 사이버비행을 줄이기 위한 실천적 함의와 제한점을 제시하였다.

The Influence of Parental Support Among Incarcerated Adolescent Offenders

According to the general theory of crime, parents play a prominent role in the development of self-control among their children. However, the evidence regarding the effects of parenting on antisocial behavior beyond the acquisition of self-control is equivocal, perhaps because of how parenting has been conceptualized. Also, there is contradictory evidence regarding the moderating effect of self-control on the relationship between parenting and antisocial behavior. The current analysis addresses these issues by exploring the interrelationships between parental support, impulse control, and consideration of others among an incarcerated sample of adolescents. Findings indicate that the relationship between parental support and antisocial behavior remains after controlling for self-control. Additionally, parental support is more influential in reducing antisocial behavior among those low in impulse control but less influential in affecting those who are low in consideration of others.
