Anime watching: is a new kind of addiction? Evaluation of psychopathologies and psychosocial factors associated with problematic anime watching among adolescents

BackgroundIn recent years, with the rapid development of technology, research on behavioral addiction concepts such as digital gaming disorders and problematic internet use has increased. As anime-watching has become widespread worldwide, it is thought that this behavior may be one of the areas of problematic technology use, especially in adolescence. However, studies evaluating problematic anime-watching behaviors within the framework of behavioral addictions are quite limited in the literature. In this study, problematic anime-watching behaviors, comorbid psychiatric disorders, and possible psychosocial factors were evaluated in 86 anime watchers aged between 12 and 18 years. Problematic anime-watching behaviors were evaluated according to the diagnostic criteria of other defined disorders related to addictive behaviors in ICD-11. A semi-structured interview tool was used to assess psychiatric comorbidities, and the IGDS9-SF adapted form for anime-watching, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, KIDCOPE, and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents were used to collect other data.ResultsIt was determined that 36.8% of the 86 adolescents in our study had problematic anime-watching behavior. Compared to other adolescents, the problematic anime-watching group had significantly lower self-efficacy scores and significantly higher social anxiety and avoidant coping scores. A significant relationship was found between social anxiety disorder and watching problematic anime.ConclusionsThe present study showed that problematic watching of anime may be a variant of behavioral addiction. In conclusion, the relationship between problematic anime-watching behaviors and mental health warrants further examination.

Resilience among Turkish adolescents: A multi-level approach.

The objective of this study is to determine the components that contribute to psychological resilience in adolescents and to determine if physical exercise, emotion control, or self-efficacy are more effective predictors of resilience. Data from participants was collected through a personal information form, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, the Emotion Regulation Scale for Children and Adolescents, and the Psychological Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents. The data were gathered online from 16 out of the 81 provinces in Turkey, representing 7 different regions, using convenience sampling. The study sample comprised 505 adolescents, with 309 females and 196 males. The average age of the participants was 15.66 years, with a standard deviation of 1.34. The data obtained from the students was analyzed using SPSS 27.0 statistical software. The Chi-Square test was employed to establish the correlation between the demographic features of adolescents and their levels of physical activity. The relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable was determined using correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. According to the analyzed results, there was a substantial positive correlation between physical activity and resilience, reappraisal and resilience, and self-efficacy and resilience. In addition, it was noted that physical activity alone explains 4.8% of the overall variation in resilience and is a significant predictor of resilience. The inclusion of reappraisal in the model resulted in a partial prediction of resilience by physical activity. However, the primary strength of the model was attributed to reappraisal. The inclusion of self-efficacy in the model resulted in a significant prediction of resilience, accounting for 36.8% of the total variance. The self-efficacy variable had a higher impact level compared to the other variables. Furthermore, the inclusion of self-efficacy in the model resulted in the elimination of the influence of physical activity on resilience. The research conclusions point out that self-efficacy has a greater impact on psychological resilience compared to physical activity and emotion regulation.

Investigation of the Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Perceived Social Support of Gifted Students

Introduction: This research aimed to analyze the levels of psychological resilience in terms of different variables, self-efficacy, and perceived social support among gifted students, investigate the relationships between these variables, and examine the predictive power of self-efficacy and perceived social support on psychological resilience. Method: The study involved 232 gifted middle school students from six different Science and Art Centers in Turkey. Participants completed the Demographic Information Form, Child and Adolescence Resilience Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, and Social Support Evaluation Scale for Children and Adolescents. Findings: The findings revealed significant differences in psychological resilience scores based on gender, grade, and participation in social/sportive activities. Positive relationships were observed among psychological resilience, emotional self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, total self-efficacy, perceived social support from family, peers, and teachers, and total perceived social support. Self-efficacy and perceived social support were identified as significant predictors of psychological resilience in gifted students. Discussion: Enhancing the levels of self-efficacy and perceived social support, as well as promoting participation in social/sportive activities, can contribute to the psychological resilience of gifted students. There is a positive relationship between self-efficacy, perceived social support, and psychological resilience in gifted students. As the levels of self-efficacy and perceived social support increase, the psychological resilience of gifted students also increases.

Effect of Expression-Based Group Counseling Through Art Activities on Adolescents' Self-Efficacy

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of expression-based group counseling through art activities on adolescents' self-efficacy. A total of 16 male students aged 14-15 years, 8 in the experimental group and 8 in the control group, participated in the study. A partially mixed simultaneous equal-status design, one of the mixed design models, was used in the study. In the quantitative dimension of the study, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children was administered to collect data. In the qualitative dimension of the study, the researcher's observations were utilized. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group in favor of the post-test and that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Therefore, expression-based group counseling can be considered to be effective in increasing adolescents' self-efficacy.

The prevalence of smoking and the levels of self-esteem and self-efficacy among adolescents in Turkey: A descriptive cross-sectional study

PurposeThis study was conducted to determine the prevalence of smoking and the levels of self-esteem and self-efficacy in adolescents and to examine the risk factors affecting smoking.Design and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive study. This study was conducted with a total of 2566 adolescents (13–19 years of age). In order to collect research data, Personal Information Form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale for Children were used. ResultsIn the current study, the mean age of adolescents was 15.88 ± 1.20 years and the prevalence of smoking was 11.3%. Variables such as age, gender, family type, parental employment status, presence of smokers in the immediate circle, and self-efficacy levels were determined as risk factors that had an impact on smoking. It was found that the total score of the self-efficacy scale increased the probability of smoking by 3.413 times, the academic self-efficacy subscale by 5.064 times, and the emotional self-efficacy subscale by 2.045 times. ConclusionThe present study concludes that certain adolescents are in the risk group. The adolescents in the risk of smoking are those who have low levels of self-efficacy, who are older, male, have a nuclear family, whose mothers do not work, whose fathers work, and who have smokers in their immediate circle.Practical Implications: School nurses can identify students at risk of smoking at an early stage. In addition, training sessions and intervention programs aimed at improving social skills can be developed to boost their self-efficacy.

Umut, Öz-Yeterlik ve Benlik Saygısının Ergenlerin Kariyer Kaygıları Üzerindeki Yordayıcı Rolü

In the current study, it was aimed to determine the extent to which adolescents’ levels of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem predict their career anxiety. To this end, the relational survey model was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The study group was formed by using the convenience sampling method. The online form prepared by the researchers was shared on social media platforms commonly used by adolescents and in this way, a total of 253 adolescents (165 females and 88 males) were reached. The mean age of the participants is 15.61. The data in the study were collected by using a demographic information form developed by the researchers, the Career Anxiety Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, the Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. In the analysis of the data, multiple linear regression analysis and the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient were used to determine the relationship between the variables. As a result of the study, negative significant correlations were found between the career anxiety of the adolescents and their levels of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem. In addition, it was concluded that the career anxiety of the adolescents was predicted negatively and significantly by their hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem. On the basis of these findings, it can be said that the healing power of hope, self-efficacy and self-esteem can be used to cope with the career anxiety of adolescents. The results were discussed in light of the relevant literature and suggestions were made for future research.

Self-effectiveness and healthy lifestyle behaviors in adolescents with asthma.

The aim of this study was to examine the self-efficacy and healthy lifestyle behavior levels in adolescents with asthma. Socio-demographic questionnaire form, questions about adherence to asthma medication, asthma control test, healthy lifestyle behaviors scale, and self-efficacy scale for children and adolescents with asthma were administered to 150 patients whom age range between 12-18, in follow up with asthma in the pediatric allergy outpatient clinic. There was no statistically significant relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors scale and self-efficacy scale scores between adolescents with controlled and uncontrolled asthma. When patients were grouped regarding the treatment compliance, both healthy lifestyle behaviors scale and asthma self-efficacy scale scores were found to be higher in patients with treatment compliance. When the patients were grouped on the basis of gender, regular follow-up visits, and smoking, there was no significant difference between healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy scale scores. The findings showed us the importance of the relationship between healthy living and adolescent self-efficacy in adherence to treatment, while there are many more components in asthma control.

Prediction of academic resilience in adolescents through academic, social and emotional self-efficacy and gender

This study aimed to investigate the predictive roles of gender and self-efficacy (academic, social, and emotional) on the academic resilience of adolescents. Participants consisted of 346 adolescents (227 girls and 119 boys). Data were collected through the Academic Resilience Scale, the Self-efficacy Scale for Children, and a demographic information form, and analyzed with an independent simple t test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results showed that male adolescents achieved higher scores in academic resilience, social self efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy. Gender, academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy in sum accounted for 49% of the variance in academic resilience. All independent variables with the exception of gender (being male) were statistically significant predictors for academic resilience in adolescents. Increases in academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy were found to lead to enhanced academic resilience.

Cognitive Flexibility and Mental Well-Being in Turkish Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Academic, Social and Emotional Self-Efficacy

Adolescence is a critical period of growth and development in an individual’s life cycle. Because of the importance of developmental success during this stage, with implications of adult development and positive mental health, the current study aims to investigate the predictor roles of cognitive flexibility and self-efficacy on mental well-being of Turkish adolescents. Moreover, as the association between cognitive flexibility and self-efficacy are considered to have crucial effects on adolescents’ mental well-being, it was supposed that academic, social and emotional self-efficacy could mediate the relation between cognitive flexibility and mental well-being. The participants of the research are comprised of 192 females (%49) and 200 males (%51), a total of 392 high school students who were attending four different high schools enrolled in grades 9–12, in a city of Turkey. Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, The Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale were applied in data collection. The results showed that cognitive flexibility positively correlated with sub-dimensions of self-efficacy and mental well-being. Also, sub-dimensions of self-efficacy positively correlated with mental well-being. Findings from the mediational model indicated that academic, social and emotional self-efficacy served to mediate the relationship between cognitive flexibility and mental well-being. Research findings were discussed in the light of the literature and some suggestions were proposed for mental health experts and researchers.

The MRI Self-Efficacy Scale for Children: Development and Preliminary Psychometrics.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common procedure that can be distressing for children. Although not yet studied in the context of pediatric medical procedures, self-efficacy may be a good predictor of procedural stress and a clinically feasible target for behavioral intervention. The objectives of this study were to develop the MRI Self-Efficacy Scale for Children (MRI-SEC) and assess the preliminary psychometric properties. Development of the MRI-SEC was informed by literature searches and feedback from healthcare providers. Twenty child-parent dyads naïve to MRI and 10 child-parent dyads with MRI experience completed the MRI-SEC to assess the comprehensibility and ease of use, and to inform item and scale refinement. The final version includes four practice items and 12 items directly assessing MRI self-efficacy. To evaluate the psychometric properties, 127 children (ages 6-12) and parents naïve to MRI completed the MRI-SEC, and a series of measures to assess construct validity. To evaluate test-retest reliability 27 children completed the MRI-SEC a second time. The MRI-SEC demonstrated acceptable internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity. Development of the MRI-SEC provides an opportunity to better understand the role of self-efficacy as a predictor of procedural stress and cooperation with MRI, informing reliable prediction of children who may benefit from additional support for MRI and the development of tailored behavioral interventions.

Future Expectations and Self-Efficacy of High School Students as a Predictor of Sense of School Belonging

In this research, the relationship among high school students’ future expectations, self-efficacy and sense of school belonging was investigated. 286 students participated in the study using the relational survey model. The research data were collected with the Future Expectation Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale for Children, and the Psychological Sense of School Membership Scale. The data obtained from these scales were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The results of the study revealed that there were bilateral significant correlations between the students’ future expectations, self-efficacy and sense of school belonging. In addition, it was determined that future expectations and self-efficacy were significant predictors of the sense of school belonging. According to this, as the future expectations and self-efficacy of high school students increase their sense of school belonging increases. In line with the findings of the research, suggestions were made to determine and increase the future expectations and self-efficacy of the students to increase their sense of school belonging.

Secure Attachment and Self-Efficacy in Early Adolescence: The Mediating Role of Hope

Early adolescence is an important phase of development characteristically to stretch between the ages of 10 and 14 from childhood to late adolescence. The current research aims at developing a model for self-efficacy of adolescents which has a crucial function in their healthy development in this critical stage. It has been hypothesized that the adolescents with secure attachment have higher self-efficacy beliefs via increasing hope. The participants of the research comprised 353 early adolescents who were recruited from three different secondary schools continuing to sixth, seventh and eighth grades, in Antalya. To collect data, Relationship Scales Questionnaire , Children’s Hope Scale and Self-Efficacy Scale for Children were utilized. The results showed that all variables interrelated positively. Findings from the mediation analysis revealed that hope mediated the relationship between secure attachment and self-efficacy and the hypothesized model explained approximately 40% of the variance in self-efficacy. The discussion of the research findings was presented in conjunction with the literature and the recommendations for future studies were proposed.

Effect of disease management education on the quality of life and self-efficacy levels of children with asthma.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of disease management education provided to children with asthma on their quality of life and self-efficacy levels. The study design was a quasi-experimental design with The One Group Pretest-Posttest design. This study was conducted on 60 children with asthma between 10 and 18 years of age. Data were collected by "Information Form", "Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire", and "Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents with Asthma". Children's quality of life and self-efficacy levels were assessed before receiving an individual asthma education intervention and then children were informed with an asthma management education book individually. Two months after the education intervention, the quality of life and self-efficacy levels of the children were re-evaluated. The children's quality of life and self-efficacy levels increased significantly after education (p = 0.014). Maternal age, number of siblings, number of family members living in the same house, activity status, the frequency of experiencing symptoms, and the ability to use the inhalers on their own affected children quality of life. Child's age, knowledge about factors causing asthma, and ability to use medication on their own affected their self-efficacy ( p < 0.05). According to these results, planned asthma education program and provided continuity of this education by nurses would be effective to improve the quality of life and levels of self-efficacy. Asthma management education for children with asthma by nurses after diagnosis is beneficial for improving the quality of life and levels of self-efficacy.
