Cross-lagged panel analysis of the relationship between social networking sites use (SNSU) and sleep problems among university students

BackgroundSleep remains a cornerstone for sociopsychological well-being, but it is in decline, especially among today’s youth. Simultaneously, engagement with social media is escalating. Research has identified a link between social networking sites use and sleep problems; however, the nature and direction of the relations remain obscure. Therefore, it is imperative to pursue longitudinal research to elucidate this correlation and guide suitable intervention practices. The present study aimed to examine the reciprocal relationship between social networking sites use and sleep problems.MethodsBy adopting a three-stage cross-lagged design across four time points, assessment results from 194 university students were gathered at four-week intervals.ResultsThe findings indicate that (1) Social networking sites use was significantly greater in females than in males at all four time points, while sleep problems were significantly greater in females than in males at Time 3 and Time 4. (2) Sleep problems at the second time point serve as a positive predictor of subsequent social networking sites use at the third time point. (3) Social networking sites use at the initial time point could marginally significantly predict sleep problems at the fourth time point.ConclusionsThis study elucidates the dynamic relationship between social networking sites use and sleep problems across an academic term, suggesting the need for temporally tailored interventions.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Italian Children and Adolescents Living with Bone Dysplasia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Bone dysplasia (BD) refers to a group of rare disorders characterized by skeletal and dental anomalies which may negatively influence oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the impact of BD on OHRQoL in Italian children and adolescents and to assess whether gender and age influence their OHRQoL. A total of 40 patients with BD and 40 age- and gender-matched controls (aged 8-14 years) were asked to complete the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), Child Oral Health Impact Profile (COHIP), and the short form of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (SF-CPQ). Children with BD showed statistically significant lower overall scores of all the questionnaires than the controls (all p < 0.001), with the largest differences being detected in overall symptoms, functional well-being, and social well-being domains. While no statistically significant gender-related differences were observed, adolescents aged 11-14 years experienced worse perception in the emotional and social well-being SSF-CPQ domains (p = 0.042 and p = 0.045, respectively) and in the peer interaction COHIP domain (p = 0.011) compared to the younger age group. Based on these findings, children suffering from BD experience poorer OHRQoL than their healthy peers, suggesting that oral and dental issues may be of special importance for the socio-psychological well-being of these growing individuals.

Subjective socio-psychological well-being of a person as a factor in the choice of food products

Introduction. Food preferences of people are largely determined by genetic predisposition, However, from the moment of birth, they tend to change depending on the influence of the social environment, personal experience and significant personalities.&#x0D; The purpose of the work is to reveal the influence of subjective socio-psychological well-being on the formation of food preferences through an assessment of its relationship with external factors determining the choice of a particular product.&#x0D; Materials and methods. The following methods were used in the study: the «Eating Behaviour Assessment Scale» method, the Psychological Well-Being Scale” method, “Subjective Economic Well-Being Questionnaire”, methodology for diagnosing the level of self-esteem, authors’ questionnaire. The statistical software SPSS 22.0 was used to process the data. The study surveyed 22 to 60 years 250 peoples. Consent to participate in the study was obtained from each subject. &#x0D; Results. The main components of the concept of “subjective socio-psychological well-being of consumers” are determined, their interrelations with various factors of external marketing influences on buyers are revealed. The subjective factors mediating eating behaviour, reflected in the concept under consideration, largely determine the effectiveness of the influence on the individual of various external marketing influences when buying food.&#x0D; Limitations. The sample of the study, despite the rather large volume, was not representative enough and included only residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, which does not give the right to use the results obtained outside the region with confidence.&#x0D; Conclusion. The higher the level of subjective socio-psychological well-being, the more expensive goods people prefer. At a low level, the greatest attention when choosing is given to information about the quality of the product on the label. The effect of advertising and brand on food choice in both high and low individuals is extremely small.

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОЕ БЛАГОПОЛУЧИЕ КАК ФАКТОР АКТУАЛИЗАЦИИ ГРАЖДАНСКОЙ СОЛИДАРНОСТИ ЛОКАЛЬНЫХ СООБЩЕСТВ

Conducting research in the area of factors of civic solidarity in Russia is determined by current processes of consolidation under conditions of exogenous geopolitical risks and threats, and common strategic course for building responsible society. The study is intended to provide a foundation for the nature and role of socio-psychological well-being of citizens in the actualization of civic solidarity of local communities. The nature of social and psychological well-being as an intangible resource for the development of local communities is defined as a subjective perception of Oneself and Others through cognitive, emotional and activity assessments, constructed under the influence of learned values of spatial and territorial identity, experience of social interaction, objective factors of the surrounding reality. The empirical part of the study is based on the results of expert interviews (N = 45) and online surveys (N = 969) of residents of three subjects of Southern Russia - Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Adygea and the Republic of Crimea. It is revealed that citizens’ subjective perception of well-being and the possibilities of its increment has a personalistic and pragmatic character. At the same time, military-political tension, which creates significant threats and risks for communities in the South of Russia, has determined transformations in civil assessments and attitudes: a sense of belonging to the fate of fellow villagers / townspeople / fellow citizens involved in conducting a special military operation of Russia, and the direct dependence articulated by experts between individual and collective (national) well-being form the basis of mutual assistance practices.

Влияние современного язычества и экофеминизма на женские образы в российском игровом кино

This paper displays the results of a system-typological and structural-semiotic analysis of female pagan images in Russian feature films, shown in interrelations with religious movements and ideological trends of modern culture. The relevance of this research is determined by the need of ensuring the ideological security and sociopsychological well-being of modern society. The research was conducted on the material of mystical series, folk horror, ethnographic cinema, and historical fantasy. The study highlights static and dynamic types of female pagan images. The static type exists in two contexts: rural and urban, and the dynamic type develops in two directions: progressive and regressive. The paper detects connection of the victim's motif, which characterizes dynamic female images, with gender and postcolonial issues. Comparison of the ways of representation of female pagan images, discourses of modern paganism and ecofeminism allowed us to conclude about the mutual influence of these three discursive systems. The connection of the system of female images with the modern processes of the revival of paganism follows the pattern of isomorphism. The study shows that Russian cinema has experienced the influence of Western ecofeminism, yet the relationship of the sexes here does not have the character of an open confrontation. The author focuses in this case on the new role and gender identity of women, which is best expressed by the static heroines of mystical series and historical fantasy.

Exploring Smartphone Use Patterns and Their Associations with Demographic Characteristics, Socio-psychological Well-being, and Socio-cultural Factors among Nigerian Youth

The widespread adoption of smartphones has transformed communication and information access, particularly among Nigerian youths. As Africa’s most populous nation and rapidly digitizing economy, Nigeria offers a unique backdrop to investigate the complex interplay between smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being, and socio-cultural factors among its youth population. This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design to explore these intricate relationships comprehensively. The methodological approach involved a quantitative research framework using a tailored measurement scale developed to gather relevant data, encompassing demographic details, smartphone use patterns, socio-psychological well-being indicators, and socio-cultural factors. This study focused on Nigerian youth aged 18 to 30 years, employing a snowball sampling technique to disseminate the research instrument through WhatsApp and Telegram platforms. A total of 1241 participants from different regions of the country were included in the study. The results showed significant variations in smartphone use patterns among Nigerian youth based on age groups, gender, and socioeconomic background. The results revealed significant variations in smartphone use patterns based on demographic characteristics, including age, sex, and socioeconomic background. Furthermore, smartphone use patterns exhibited significant correlations with various aspects of socio-psychological well-being, such as emotional well-being, stress levels, sleep quality, and life satisfaction. Sociocultural factors did not significantly predict smartphone use patterns; family dynamics and peer interactions emerged as significant indirect influencers through psychological well-being. The recommendations arising from the study’s findings suggest tailored interventions for demographic groups, promotion of digital well-being, and the incorporation of digital literacy education.

Современные и исторические параллели восприятия аномии в армянском обществе

&lt;p&gt;The characteristics of perception of anomie are revealed both in modern societies and in the historical past. Although the psychological phenomenon of anomie is expressed in thinking specific for various historical periods, the study of historical and modern parallels allows us to see some models of the development of psychological scientific thought and perception of anomie. Anomie is presented as a psychological pattern of perception with certain characteristics such as social apathy, emotional burnout, alienation, normlessness, social isolation and others. The variety of causes and manifestations of anomie requires the search for new ways and strategies for studying human activity and motivation, which will not only reduce the risks of social apathy, but also adapt the individual to the conditions of rapidly changing social processes. In order to do it it is necessary to study the relationship between the various components of perception of anomie and compare modern anomie issues with historical parallels. The identification of modern and historical parallels in the development of the phenomenon of anomie shows the changes of perception of socio-psychological well-being and worldview. In the methodological sense, the comparative method of the investigation of the perception of anomie allows us to reveal and highlight the historical basis of human worldview.&lt;/p&gt;

EXPLORING SMARTPHONE USE PATTERNS AND THEIR ASSOCIATIONS WITH DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS, SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING, AND SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS AMONG NIGERIAN YOUTH

Perception of socio-economic and political situation in Russia by student youth of the southern region (based on regional studies)

The relevance of researching the perception of socio-economic and political processes in the country by the youth is driven by a social demand to understand the readiness of young people to participate in the country’s economic development, its political life, acceptable forms of migration and civic behaviour, and the level of protest potential. The aim of this article is to identify the interconnection of trends in evaluations by student youth regarding the socio-economic and socio-political situation with characteristics such as dependence on socio-psychological well-being, financial status, trust levels in political institutions and the political course, migration and protest attitudes. The empirical basis of the analysis comprises data from studies conducted among student youth of the Southern region of Russia from 2017 to 2022 by the Southern Russian branch of the FCTAS RAS. The analysis revealed the ambivalence of the state of public consciousness among student youth, both in their assessment of the socio-economic situation and the socio-political position in the country. Despite students’ uncertain future perceptions, their migration attitudes have hardly changed compared to 2017, aligning with nationwide tendencies. It was established that the student youth of the Southern region of Russia does not display significant interest in politics (similar to the broader Russian population), yet concurrently expresses a higher level of personalised trust in the President of Russia and the military, more so than in the overall political direction of the authorities. Ideas of social justice, freedom of speech, and expressing political stance resonate with students from the Southern region of Russia, as well as fostering friendly relations with the West. A trend was identified over the last 5 years of reduced ratings in the ability to express political views while having a high level of legal consciousness, alongside a growth in the acceptability of unlawful forms of protest due to increasing distrust in the government and its political course.

Effects of an Integrative Day Care Clinic Program with a Focus on Nature Therapy in a Hospital Park Setting on Quality of Life in Oncological Patients-A Non-Randomized Controlled Study.

Cancer often causes long-term physical and psychological impairments. Lifestyle modification and nature-based interventions (NBIs) can have a positive impact on patients' quality of life (QOL). This participants-blinded, non-randomized controlled study assessed parameters at weeks 0, 12, and 24, including, as a primary endpoint, QOL in cancer patients on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) at week 12. QOL in breast cancer patients, fatigue, well-being, stress, anxiety/depression, socio-psychological well-being, benefits of nature interaction, insomnia, self-efficacy, mindfulness, and self-compassion were assessed as secondary endpoints. N = 107 cancer patients (96.3% women; 52.5 ± 9.3 years, 80.4% breast cancer) were assigned to either a 12-week nature-based (NDC; n = 56) or conventional (DC; n = 51) oncology day care clinic program, whereby the assignment group was not known to the participants. There was no significant group difference for the primary endpoint. At week 24, QOL, fatigue, mindfulness and self-compassion scores were significantly higher, and at weeks 12 and 24, the insomnia score was significantly lower in NDC compared to DC. In conclusion, this study indicates positive and clinically relevant effects of the program on QOL, fatigue, and psychological parameters. NBIs seem to have a more pronounced effect.

Взаимоотношения с родителями подростков из полных/неполных семей и статус среди одноклассников

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective. &lt;/strong&gt;Identification of meaningful features of the ratio of adolescents' self-esteem of status among classmates and stylistic aspects of interactions with parents among students from full and incomplete families.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background. &lt;/strong&gt;Family and school are the most important institutions of a teenager's socialization. In the course of the social relationships developing here, value orientations are formed, norms of social role behavior are mastered, fundamental changes related to the development of personality occur. It is clear that, from a socio-psychological point of view, a teenager's involvement in these institutions does not exist in isolation; meaningful life contexts intersect, often acquiring a conflict character. In connection with the general trend of increasing single-parent families, a comparative study of indicators characterizing the features of socialization of adolescents from full and single-parent families is of particular relevance for the organization of the educational process among primary and high school students.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Study design. &lt;/strong&gt;The paper studied the opinions of adolescents with different self-assessment of their status in the classroom ("leaders" and "outcasts") regarding a number of indicators that characterize the stylistic features of their interaction with parents: "significant other" in the immediate environment; parents' acceptance of the personal position ("opinions") of a teenager; forms of punishment of parents and reaction to them a teenager. A comparison of the stylistic features of the relationship between students and parents in full and single-parent families is carried out, depending on the self-assessment of the status ("leader" or "outcast") among classmates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Participants. &lt;/strong&gt;40575 students in grades 7-11 from 17 regions of the Russian Federation. Subsamples: from full families &amp;ndash; 73,7%; from incomplete families &amp;ndash; 26,3%; in a full family: "leaders" in the class &amp;ndash; 7,0%, "outcasts" in the class &amp;ndash; 4,7%; in a single-parent family, respectively: 6,5% and 5,8%.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measurements. &lt;/strong&gt;Anonymous survey using an author's questionnaire containing closed questions. The processing of the research materials was carried out using the statistical software package SPSS 21 and StatSoft Statistica 7.0. To compare the proportions observed in two independent samples and expressed as percentages, the chi-square criterion was used in the module "Basic statistics &amp;ndash; Difference tests" of the StatSoft Statistica 7.0 package. Factor analysis using the method of selecting the Main components with rotation according to the criterion Kaiser's Verimax.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results. &lt;/strong&gt;The analysis of the characteristics of the frequency of distribution of students' responses regarding various aspects of their relationship with parents showed that such social parameters as completeness/incompleteness of the family in which the teenager is brought up and his self-assessment of status among classmates differentiate the opinion of schoolchildren about the stylistic features of child-parent relations. The results of the factor analysis allowed us to identify four factors that characterize the peculiarity of the relationships between different aspects of the relationship of adolescents with their parents: "authoritarianism &amp;mdash; democracy"; "upholding independence in relations with parents"; "seeking consent &amp;mdash; limiting the child's social contacts"; "striving to defend their position &amp;mdash; prohibition of interpersonal contacts with friends". The interrelation of the features of the socio-psychological interaction of a teenager with his parents and his well-being in the class team is revealed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions.&lt;/strong&gt; The results obtained indicate a kind of mutual projection of the socio-psychological relationships of a teenager with his parents and his interactions with classmates. In this regard, school educational programs should take into account the types of child-parent relationships that develop in full and incomplete families. The problem of the socio-psychological well-being of a teenager requires coordination of the efforts of the family and the school, taking into account the age-specific features of development.&lt;/p&gt;

INFLUENCE OF DENTAL DEFECTS WITH ASSOCIATED PERIODONTITIS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE

To assess dental health for quality of life, special dental tests are used that are designed to measure the frequency, degree of influence of dental problems on functional and socio-psychological well-being. The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of dental defects and concomitant periodontitis on the quality of life. A study of the quality of life of 65 patients was conducted. A survey conducted among patients with dental defects and concomitant periodontitis revealed a significant deterioration in the quality of life before treatment, compared with the same individuals after treatment.

Crisis-induced financial anxiety, social support, socio-psychological wellbeing, and commitment to work in the tourism sector

ABSTRACT Understanding the causal influence of financial anxiety on future work commitment with social support and socio-psychological wellbeing as mediators amongst crisis-induced redundant tourism employees remains limited. Using data collected from 547 COVID-19-induced redundant tourism employees, this paper examines the influence of financial anxiety on future work commitment with social support and socio-psychological wellbeing as mediators. The findings reveal that financial anxiety has a negative influence on social support and social and psychological wellbeing. Social support has a negative influence on social wellbeing, while social support has a positive influence on future work commitment. Both social and psychological wellbeing has a negative influence on future work commitment. Meanwhile, the influence of financial anxiety on future work is fully mediated by social support and socio-psychological wellbeing. Insurance uptake and establishment of welfare funds amongst tourism employees can be used to buffer the effects of financial anxiety on future work commitment.

Socio-psychological well-being of students: Results of a sociological survey

The article presents the results of empirical studies of students aimed at identifying the socio-psychological state of students as a consequence of the transformation of the educational process under the influence of new social conditions of life. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey of 653 bachelor students studying at the Faculty of Law at Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2022. The respondents answered the questions anonymously. The results of the analysis allowed us to conclude that young people experience a number of psychological difficulties caused by adaptation to the new conditions of life, the breakdown of real communication ties and global social instability. The analysis of the empirical data showed that the most pronounced are the students’ fears related to the sociopolitical situation in the world. Also, a significant part of the students are worried about future employment, career prospects and the prospects of the economic crisis. The result of the article is recommendations for the educational institutions to work with students, which can help to stabilize their psychological condition and help during the adaptation to the new educational and social conditions.

Social-Psychological and Legal-Philosophical Characteristics of Personality Anomie

The key to the successful and effective development of any society is the socio-psychological well-being of the population and personality, based on certain legal and philosophical concepts. Modern society experiences a kind of civilizational, philosophical, legal and socio-psychological crisis - the transformation of norms and behavior, against the background of which various forms of deviation are clearly manifested. As a result, in the context of the transformation of society, for a more complete and deeper study of the characteristics of human behavior, it becomes necessary to understand the causes of their occurrence. This methodological position allows first of all describing the mental world of a person who acts in the frames of the certain understanding and perception of social-psychological and legal norms of behavior. In this context, the procedure of psychological and legal-philosophical reconstruction of scientific concept of anomie is used as a methodological tool, which is aimed at analyzing various manifestations of the psyche of the personality and its anomic characteristics.

What Do They Feel, Do, and Expect? The Young Generation’s Perception of Environmental Problems and Sustainable Development Goals in the Context of Quality of Life

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the need to rethink, revision, and modify the sustainable development goals since changes have never been so unpredictable in terms of future events. While material welfare has long been identified and given attention, the pandemic has demonstrated the importance of health security and socio-psychological well-being. The aim of this article is to identify the young generation’s perception of environmental problems and sustainable development goals in the context of quality of life. In January 2022, we conducted an online survey (CAWI) among 120 young adults aged 21–28, who were asked, i.a., to assess current ecological threats, economic security, and social problems and to reevaluate the goals of sustainable development. One of the general conclusions is that global threats are more important for young people than local ones, and future threats are more important than the present ones. The results indicate a high awareness and sensitivity among the young generation to the important elements of the sustainable development goals, particularly regarding the elimination of hunger, the access to potable water, and providing education in the global dimension. The research results reflect the expectations of the young generation regarding the implementation of sustainable development goals, especially concerning environmental and social aspects.

How perceived scarcity predicted cooperation during early pandemic lockdown

Both material resources (jobs, healthcare), and socio-psychological resources (social contact) decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated whether individual differences in perceived material and socio-psychological scarcity experienced during the pandemic predicted preference for cooperation, measured using two Public Good Games (PGGs), where participants contributed money or time (i.e., hours indoors contributed to shorten the lockdown). Material scarcity had no relationship with cooperation. Increased perceived scarcity of socio-psychological wellbeing (e.g., connecting with family) predicted increased preference for cooperation, suggesting that missing social contact fosters prosociality, whilst perceived scarcity of freedom (e.g., limited movement) predicted decreased willingness to spend time indoors to shorten the lockdown. The importance of considering individual differences in scarcity perception to best promote norm compliance is discussed.

The impact of self-isolation on the socio-psychological state of a person: research results

Based on the analysis of the results of the survey conducted by the authors through a service such as Google Forms, some aspects of the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the socio-psychological state of a person are considered. The sample of respondents can be described as spontaneous. The age of respondents in the range from 14 to 71 years, these are residents of different states, localities, differing in the nature of leading activities and social status. However, the results of the study demonstrate that place, age, status and other characteristics are not crucial in terms of socio-psychological well-being during the pandemic. Among the main problems faced by the population in the conditions of the pandemic are limited contacts and movement, difficulties with the organization of school-age children’s studies, loss of work and reduced income, fear for their health and the health of loved ones.

Особенности совместного времяпрепровождения родителей с детьми в мегаполисе

The study appears to be of relevance due to its focus on differences in the interaction of parents and children in families with different role models (patriarchal, matriarchal, and egalitarian). The purpose of the study is to identify differences in the forms of joint pastime of parents with their child in families of different types. Presumably, the forms of joint pastime of parents with their children differ in families of different types, depending on the role model of the family. In particular, in families with the one-parent-dominance model, the joint pastime of parents with their children will be limited to the performance of their functional duties. Egalitarian families differ in this respect preferring varied forms of joint pastime of parents with their children. The study involved parents of preschoolers living in 11 administrative districts of Moscow. All families are full. The sample (N = 247) included male (45%) and female (55%) parents aged 27 to 48. The following methods were applied: a questionnaire to identify the socio-demographic characteristics of parents and families, their attitudes to the division of family responsibilities; the authors’ original questionnaire aimed at identifying the forms of joint pastime of parents with their children that are preferred by the parents; scaling the psychological well-being of parents (satisfaction with the quality of their interaction with children, with living conditions in the city, and with the comfort of the urban environment for children’s life), and their subjective economic status (developed by V. A. Khashchenko). In order to study the peculiarities of the respondents’ perception of the urban environment, the authors used closed types of questions; the manifestation level of urban identity was revealed with the help of M. Lally’s methodology. The results of the study confirm the hypothesis about the differences in the joint pastime of parents with their children in the families of citizens from families of different types. The research results demonstrate that parents from matriarchal-type families are focused on fulfilling their functional responsibilities connected with caring for their child, but they limit the child’s contacts in the social environment of the megalopolis. In patriarchal-type families, parents shift their responsibility for the child’s upbringing to the spouse and relatives. Their joint activity with the child is limited to the performance of their functional responsibilities connected with caring for the child and to participation in the child’s games. Parents from families with partnership relations are distinguished by having different forms of joint pastime both at home and in the megalopolis. They visit the circus, museums, theaters, shopping centers together with the child, thus expanding the experience of the child’s social interaction with other residents of the city and creating conditions for the socio-psychological well-being of children in the megalopolis. The results of the study indicate the necessity to develop a variety of urban programs for joint pastime of parents with their children. Such programs which will be in demand by different categories of families, primarily with the dominant role of the father or the mother.
