Investigating the relationship between emotional intelligence and sexual satisfaction in late adolescent university students

AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and sexual satisfaction in late adolescents who are university students. The study sample consisted of 757 people who reached out through social media. We collected the data using the Demographic Information Form, the Emotional Intelligence Scale (short form), and the male and female forms of the Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale. The SPSS 22.0 package program conducted the necessary analysis of the data. The analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the total scores on the Emotional Intelligence Scale and the total scores on sexual satisfaction. Accordingly, as emotional intelligence increases in both men and women, the deterioration in their sexual functions and relationships decreases. Additionally, we compared the participants' Sexual Satisfaction Scale scores based on various demographic variables. As a result, women's mean score on the Sexual Satisfaction Scale was significantly lower than that of men. The mean scores of participants who had a partner were significantly lower than those of participants who did not. The mean score of the individuals who were unmarried and thought that having sex before marriage was acceptable was much lower than the mean score of the participants who believed that having sex before marriage was bad. We talked about each outcome in light of the body of literature.

“A Study To Assess The Effectiveness Of Planned Teaching Programme On Knowledge Regarding Blood Donation Among Late Adolescent Students (18-20years) At Tagore College Of Arts And Science, Chrompet, Chennai”

Age group between 10 to 20 years is considered as a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. They are no longer children yet not adults. It is characterized by rapid physical growth, emotional and psychological changes. Donation of blood is a behavioural phenomenon and is always considered a humanitarian act. Our body has approximately. 5.5 litre of blood of which only 350 ml - 450 ml of blood is taken depending upon weight of donor. The withdrawn blood volume is restored within 24 hours and the haemoglobin and cell components are restored in 2 months. Therefore, it is perfectly safe to donate blood every three months. Evaluative research approach and one group pre-test and post-test design was used. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study. The total number of study sample consisted of 30 late adolescent students. The pre-test knowledge mean score is 8.87 and post-test knowledge mean score is 18.47. The ‘t’ value is 27.03 statistically significant at P≤0.001. This indicates that the mean difference of 10. It is hypothesized that there is significant in effectiveness of planned teaching programme among late adolescent students (18-20years) regarding blood donation. So the researcher accepted the research hypothesis and it is evident that the planned teaching programme significantly effective in improving the knowledge among late adolescent students (18-20years) regarding blood donation

Mattering And Satisfaction with Life: Gender and Age Differences Among Kenyan Secondary School Students

This study examined how mattering related with satisfaction with school life among secondary school students in Kenya (N= 446, M = 17.40, SD = 1.22; 55.8 % Male). Age and gender differences were also explored. Mattering had a moderate correlation with school life satisfaction. Both age and mattering explained 11 % variance in satisfaction with school life. Age and gender did not moderate the prediction of satisfaction with school life by mattering. The relationship was similar for middle and late adolescent students, but prediction was only significant among the middle adolescent group. No significant gender differences were reported among the study variables. The findings suggest that when students feel important and when their age is taken into account, they are more likely to have higher levels of satisfaction with their school experience.

Influencing Factors on Campus Sports Culture in University in China

The study focused on identifying influencing factors on campus sports culture in university province in China, including demographic profiles, assessments of factors affecting culture development, differences in assessments based on profiles, and the relationship between influencing factors and culture development status. Based on the findings, an Enhanced Campus Sports Culture Program can be developed to improve campus sports culture. The study employed a descriptive correlational research design and the respondents are the students in Suzhou University, West Anhui University, Hefei Normal University, Chuzhou University and Huangshan University.Data revealed significant interest in campus sports culture among female, late adolescent, and freshman students, with perceptions of school factors, teacher dynamics, and student engagement influencing its development consistently across demographic groups. A shared understanding exists regarding the current state of campus sports culture, covering aspects like resources, systems, behavior, and spirit. Analysis indicated a strong positive correlation between perceived influencing factors and the actual development status of campus sports culture, indicating a need for an Enhanced Campus Sports Culture Program to foster positivity. Data suggests implementing initiatives to involve a broader demographic in campus sports culture, fostering a supportive environment and promoting understanding of influencing factors. This involves collaboration among university administration, faculty, and student organizations. Investing in sports resources and systems, ensuring equity, and prioritizing identified factors are crucial, led by the administration and stakeholders. Establishing a task force to implement strategies and develop an Enhanced Campus Sports Culture Program will drive sustained improvement.

Based on the research results, the developed product model is effective and contributes to increasing self-awareness among high school students in late adolescence.

Explaining the Victim-Offender Overlap of Cyberbullying Using Low Self-Control and Parental Bonds

This study examined cyberbullying using a cross-sectional sample of n = 5,954 late adolescent high-school students in Arizona and had several purposes: 1. To examine the extent of the overlap of cyberbullying perpetration and victimization; 2. To examine the effects of low self-control and parental bonds on cyberbullying; and 3. To use both attitudinal and behavioral measures of low self-control as predictors. Using bivariate probit regression models, the study found an overlap between cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, with 9.1% of the sample experiencing both. For the most part, low self-control measures better predicted cyberbullying than parental bond measures. Implications for programming are discussed.

Exploring Substance Use Among Late Adolescents in Mangaluru, India

Adolescence is a significant transitioning phase of life where the young are prone to experiment and engage in risk-taking behaviours such as Substances use. The study objectives were to ascertain the reasons for first-time use of substances, occasions of use, and the sources of availing of banned substances among late adolescents. A quantitative and qualitative study approach was adopted with an exploratory and descriptive research design. Around 532 late adolescent students participated in the study, from colleges in urban & rural areas. The study outcomes highlight the primary reasons for adolescent substances-use was party/fun (45%) followed by curiosity&experimentation (35%) and suggestion from friends & family (11%). The top three occasions for substance use are parties (53%), weekends (18%) and when studying (10%). The top three sources of availing of banned substances are friends/ college mates (18%), agents (12%), and petty shops (8%). Qualitative findings showed that the first-time use of addictive substances among adolescents is primarily due to curiosity, experimentation and the influence of friends. Interviews revealed that faulty parenting techniques such as poor communication, providing ample finances and lack of supervision of hostellers are the common markers of adolescent substance use. Hostels and parties are often popular places among students to initiate substance use. The channels for obtaining Banned substances are through students (for financial gains) who have dealt with middlemen/traffickers in the past. Often vehicles such as cars/trains and modern technology are adopted by drug traffickers. Instances of Weed (marijuana) being grown at home in the backyards is seen. Various recommendations at Educational Institutes, law enforcement and Government Policy levels are made. Further research, to probe deeper into understanding the effects of substance use and health concerns due to substance use is suggested.

The same but different. Multidimensional assessment of depression in students of natural science and music.

Depression is one of the most common and debilitating health problems, however, its heterogeneity makes a diagnosis challenging. Thus far the restriction of depression variables explored within groups, the lack of comparability between groups, and the heterogeneity of depression as a concept limit a meaningful interpretation, especially in terms of predictability. Research established students in late adolescence to be particularly vulnerable, especially those with a natural science or musical study main subject. This study used a predictive design, observing the change in variables between groups as well as predicting which combinations of variables would likely determine depression prevalence. 102 under- and postgraduate students from various higher education institutions participated in an online survey. Students were allocated into three groups according to their main study subject and type of institution: natural science students, music college students and a mix of music and natural science students at university with comparable levels of musical training and professional musical identity. Natural science students showed significantly higher levels of anxiety prevalence and pain catastrophizing prevalence, while music college students showed significantly higher depression prevalence compared to the other groups. A hierarchical regression and a tree analysis found that depression for all groups was best predicted with a combination of variables: high anxiety prevalence and low burnout of students with academic staff. The use of a larger pool of depression variables and the comparison of at-risk groups provide insight into how these groups experience depression and thus allow initial steps towards personalized support structures.

KESEHATAN MENTAL MAHASISWA DALAM PROSES PEMBELAJARAN DARING SELAMA PANDEMI COVID-19

The online learning process is learning in a network or called distance learning using information technology such as the internet. During the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning is mandatory in all educational institutions, both in Indonesia and abroad. In 2022 online learning will still be carried out in several educational institutions, one of which is Higher Education. There are several problems caused by online learning, one of which is student mental health. Mental health is defined as a healthy soul where a person feels happy physically and mentally, recognizes one's potential, is able to deal with stress, thinks positively, and is useful for others. Students are prone to experiencing mental health disorders because the stage of student development is in the late adolescent phase, where in this late adolescent phase students will experience an identity crisis, self-determination, and experience pressure from the environment. Signs and symptoms of mental health disorders include stress, depression, anxiety, confusion, anxiety, frustration, fear, sleep and eating patterns disturbances, feeling depressed, difficulty concentrating, and psychotic disorders. The impact of disturbed student mental health can result in reduced quality of life, use of psychoactive substances, psychotic disorders, and suicide. This study aims to determine the mental health of students in the online learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method used is quantitative with an analytic descriptive approach. The sample used was 220 students using total sampling. The research instrument uses SRQ-20. Data analysis used univariate analysis with frequency distribution tables. The results showed that as many as 56.82% of students were indicated to have mental health problems, and the remaining 43.18% were not indicated to have mental health problems. The conclusion of the study is that most students experience disturbed mental health, so it is hoped that there will be regular mental health screening of students.

Identity Development and Its Relationship to Family History Knowledge among Late Adolescents

Identity development among late adolescent university students and its relationship to family history knowledge was examined in this study. Identity development was examined using Marcia’s individual developmental framework (1988) of exploration and commitment and Stutman and Lich’s family systems framework (1984) of autonomy and relatedness. It was proposed that late adolescents’ personal exploration of and commitment to roles and values may be influenced by knowledge of parent and grandparent histories. It was also proposed that late adolescents’ achievement of personal autonomy and positive family relatedness may be influenced by knowledge of parent and grandparent histories. The sample consisted of 239 university students. The Parental Relationship Inventory (PRI) and the Ego Identity Process Questionnaire (EIPQ) were used to measure identity development. The Do You Know? (DYK) scale measured family history knowledge. Multiple regression analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between commitment and family history knowledge and relatedness and family history knowledge, a negative relationship between autonomy and family history knowledge, and a weak correlation between exploration and family history knowledge. Findings indicated that family history knowledge may influence components of identity development. This has implications for those working to enhance adolescent development.

Gender- and age-specific associations of childhood maltreatment with peripheral serum inflammatory cytokines in middle school students.

The impact of childhood maltreatment on multiple inflammatory cytokines among middle school students remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to examine the associations of different types of childhood maltreatment with peripheral serum inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-10, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α) in middle school students, and to explore the differences in these associations between boys and girls and between late (≥15 and<20 years) and early (≥11 and <15 years) adolescence. A total of 1122 students were recruited from a boarding middle school. Each participant was asked to respond to a detailed questionnaire on childhood maltreatment, from whom one blood sample was drawn via venous blood. In the overall sample there was no association between childhood maltreatment and peripheral serum inflammatory cytokines; (2) emotional abuse was significantly correlated with IL-1β only in girls (B = -0.16; 95% CI, -0.28~-0.03; p = 0.06); (3) in late adolescence, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and childhood maltreatment had marked link with IL-8 (B = 0.39; 95%CI, 0.16~0.63; p = 0.01; B =0.20; 95% CI, 0.04~0.37; p = 0.08; B = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.18~0.82; p = 0.01, respectively). These findings also strengthened an inference regarding the effects of childhood maltreatment on inflammation of students in late adolescence.

Filial piety and meaning in life among late adolescents: A moderated mediation model

Meaning in life plays a vital role in adolescents’ development. If lacking meaning in life, adolescents may face a variety of psychological and behavioral problems. It is of great significance to explore the factors affecting meaning in life. This study aimed to probe the influencing factors of meaning in life from the perspective of filial piety, which represents a parent–child interaction pattern between parents and children. Specially, this study tested the effects of two types of filial piety on two dimensions of meaning in life and the internal mechanism therein among late adolescents. To this end, a questionnaire survey, including dual filial piety, parent–child cohesion, core self-evaluation, and meaning in life, was conducted by three hundred and forty-three late adolescent students. The results showed that: (a) both reciprocal filial piety and authoritarian filial piety positively predicted presence of meaning and search for meaning in life among late adolescents; (b) Parent-child cohesion mediated the relationships between two sorts of filial piety and two dimensions of meaning in life; (c) core self-evaluation moderated the positive effect of parent–child cohesion on presence of meaning in life. These findings provided valuable guidance on how to improve late adolescents’ meaning in life. In addition, the implications, limitations, and future research directions of the study were discussed as well.

Alcohol binge drinking in adolescence and psychological profile: Can the preclinical model crack the chicken-or-egg question?

During adolescence, internal and external factors contribute to engaging with alcohol binge drinking (ABD), putting at risk the neurodevelopment of brain regions crucial for emotional control and stress coping. This research assessed the prevalence of ABD in late adolescent students of Southern Italy and characterized their psychological profile and drinking motives. Translational effects of alcohol binge drinking in the animal model were also studied. Seven hundred and fifty-nine high school students of both sexes (aged 18–20) were recruited. Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C), Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised Short Form, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-Third Ed., State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Basic Self-Esteem Scale identified alcohol habits, drinking motives, and psychopathological profile. Eighty-five percentage of the students drank alcohol and 28% of them engaged in ABD; AUDIT-C correlated with enhancement, coping, and conformity motives. ABD was related to a greater likelihood of presenting clinical syndromes and personality disorders, as well as low resilience and self-esteem. Thereafter, in the pre-clinical model, adolescent male rats were exposed to alcohol (3.5 g/kg) in an intermittent binge-like paradigm and tested during prolonged abstinence. Rats were evaluated for anxiety-like behavior, motivated behaviors, resilience, and stress response following a psychosocial challenge. Binge-like alcohol-exposed adolescent rats displayed high integrated z-score for social- and novelty-induced anxiety, altered motivation-driven output, decreased resilience, and a blunted HPA axis response to psychosocial stress, with respect to respective controls. Our data confirm that ABD is the chosen pattern of drinking in a significant percentage of high school students in Southern Italy, and highlights AUDIT-C score as a relevant parameter able to predict the occurrence of affective disturbances. The evidence from the preclinical model shows that ABD produces detrimental consequences in the adolescent rat brain, resulting in negative affect, emotional dysregulation, and aberrant stress response, pointing to decreasing excessive alcohol drinking as a primary goal for the global act for brain health.

The effect of phubbing, a behavioral problem, on academic procrastination: The mediating and moderating role of academic self‐efficacy

AbstractOur preoccupation with smartphones affects our attitudes. Our changing attitudes also create disruptions in our daily routines. Smartphones, the most common technological device we use, have exposed individuals to phubbing behavior. The behavioral problem we define as phubbing causes disruptions and procrastination in our academic responsibilities. In this study, the relationship between phubbing frequency and academic procrastination tendencies of students and the effect of academic self‐efficacy on this relationship were performed. For this purpose, in this study, the mediator and moderator role of academic self‐efficacy in the relationship between academic procrastination and phubbing was examined. The study group of the research consisted of 518 students in late adolescence from Turkey. 323 (62.4%) of the participants were females and 195 (37.6%) of them were males (Mage = 19.4 years). They completed questionnaires measuring phubbing tendency, academic procrastination, academic self‐efficacy, and personal information form. It was found that academic self‐efficacy was a partial mediator in the relationship between academic procrastination and phubbing. In addition, academic self‐efficacy also had a moderator effect. According to these results, it can be said that the acquisition of academic self‐efficacy can reduce the negative effects of phubbing, which is a behavioral problem, and the tendency to academic procrastination.

Emotional intelligence mediates the protective role of the orbitofrontal cortex spontaneous activity measured by fALFF against depressive and anxious symptoms in late adolescence.

As a stable personality construct, trait emotional intelligence (TEI) refers to a battery of perceived emotion-related skills that make individuals behave effectively to adapt to the environment and maintain well-being. Abundant evidence has consistently shown that TEI is important for the outcomes of many mental health issues, particularly depression and anxiety. However, the neural substrates involved in TEI and the underlying neurobehavioral mechanism of how TEI reduces depression and anxiety symptoms remain largely unknown. Herein, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and a group of behavioral measures were applied to examine these questions among a large sample comprising 231 general adolescent students aged 16-20years (52% female). Whole-brain correlation analysis and prediction analysis demonstrated that TEI was negatively linked with spontaneous activity (measured with the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations) in the bilateral medial orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a critical site implicated in emotion-related processes. Furthermore, structural equation modeling analysis found that TEI mediated the link of OFC spontaneous activity to depressive and anxious symptoms. Collectively, the current findings present new evidence for the neurofunctional bases of TEI and suggest a potential "brain-personality-symptom" pathway for alleviating depressive and anxious symptoms among students in late adolescence.

Social support profiles associations with adolescents' psychological and academic functioning

Social support is empirically linked to improved adolescent psychological and academic functioning. This study explored typologies characterized by family, peer, and school support among students in early (Grade 7; n = 27,399) and late (Grade 11; n = 27,984) adolescence. We assessed how each latent profile related to key aspects of psychological and academic functioning and the moderation of gender in these associations. Three convergent profiles (i.e., High, Moderate, and Low Support) and two divergent profiles (i.e., Minimum Peer Support and Minimum Family Support) were found in both grade levels, with psychological and academic functioning differentiated by the profiles. The Minimum Peer Support and Minimum Family Support profiles showed the lowest functioning in all domains across grade levels. The High Support profile showed the highest psychological health and academic performance. Gender moderation was observed in the associations between social support profiles and psychological functioning and was more prominent among 7th graders than 11th graders. Findings suggest that social support's impact is determined by combinations of various support sources, age, and gender. The social support profiles and their associations with students' characteristics and outcomes may inform practitioners in supporting vulnerable groups and planning interventions.

Internet Addiction and Psychological Health in Adolescent Indian Medical Students: A Cross-sectional Study.

With the presence of the internet in daily life, it has become crucial to explore its purposes, implications, and effects on the mental health of users. As adolescents are a vulnerable age group, this study was conducted on Indian medical students in late adolescence to learn how the internet impacts their lives. We aim to explore the severity of problematic internet use (PIU) in Indian medical students. We intend to assess its effects on psychological health and loneliness and correlate PIU with the purpose of using the internet. A total of 185 first-year MBBS students of Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (mean age: 18.07 years) were recruited and administered four questionnaires: Young's internet addiction test (YIAT20), UCLA loneliness questionnaire (version 3), general health questionnaire (GHQ12), and a self-administered questionnaire (to assess the purpose of internet usage). Out of 185 students, 67 were average users with complete control of their internet use, and 118 had PIU (113 with frequent, 5 with significant problems). PIU showed a significant positive correlation with psychological morbidity (r=0.34, P<0.0001) and loneliness (r=0.20, P=0.01). Daily mean use of the internet was mostly for social media (51.2%), followed by academics (20%), others (20%), and gaming (8.2%). PIU was significantly and positively correlated to social media usage (r=0.27, P=0.00) and negatively correlated to academics (r=-0.37, P<0.0001). In our study, PIU was positively correlated to poor psychological health, loneliness, and use of social media. It showed a negative correlation with academics. This situation may suggest that PIU is linked to psychosocial implications. It may be worthwhile to correlate the purpose of use with the severity of PIU. Social media seems important in India as opposed to China, where gaming is the major concern. As some activities could be more addictive than others and result in a dysfunctional lifestyle, internet use must be regulated and used judiciously.

Deep Learning on EEG Study Concentration in Pendemic

Brainwaves are one of the biometric properties that can be used to identify individuals based on their physical and behavioural characteristics. An electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used to measure and capture brain wave activity. The activities required are in the form of giving complex tasks to get thinking and concentration processes called Cognitive Tests, in the form of a Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) stimulus and Competency Test (UK). This study aims to obtain a pattern of the relationship between concentration and learning outcomes for late adolescent students during the pandemic. The object of research involved in this research is the 10th grade students of TKJ SMK. Data acquisition was carried out twice on the Beta signal by doing cognitive test questions which were done twice at school and at home. Then the data obtained from the test results will be extracted using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Furthermore, after the data extraction results are obtained, the classification process will be carried out using the CNN algorithm. The results of the FFT obtained the average value of the signal peak. The results of the CNN classification show that the pandemic does not affect student concentration. The average signal concentration in schools when testing using CFIT is 0.2445 and at the time of testing using UK Mathematics is 0.1330 with an average CFIT score of 77.05 and for UK average is 53.33 with an accuracy value of 83.33 %. While the average signal concentration at home when testing using CFIT is 0.2252 and at the time of testing using UK Mathematics is 0.1301 with an average CFIT score of 77.13 and for UK average is 57.50 with an accuracy value of 83, 33%.

Changes in psychological distress after first vaginal intercourse in late adolescence

IntroductionAlthough early sexual intercourse may be associated with increased depressive symptoms, little research has examined whether first intercourse in late adolescence is associated with changes in mental health. MethodsThis paper uses 3 years of longitudinal data from previously sexually abstinent late adolescent students at a large state university in the northeastern United States (N = 144, 53.5% male, M age = 18.5 years old, 47.2% White, 26.4% Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 20.1% Hispanic/Latino, 18.1% Black/African American) to examine whether levels of psychological distress changed after first intercourse. ResultsStudents’ distress decreased after first intercourse, although this effect was only significant two or more semesters after first intercourse. There were no gender differences in these associations. ConclusionsFindings suggest first intercourse was, on average, associated with decreased psychological distress for both male and female late adolescents.

Parent-adolescent communication on sexual and reproductive health and the utilization of adolescent-friendly health services in Kailali, Nepal.

BackgroundAdolescents are vulnerable to various sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems such as unintended pregnancy, HIV or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unsafe abortion. Adolescent-friendly health services offer SRH services such as SRH counseling, contraceptive services, STI and HIV services, and abortion-related services, which may help prevent these risks. Parent–adolescent communication about SRH prevents adolescents from adopting unhealthy SRH practices. However, its association with the utilization of SRH services is less known. Therefore, this study examined the association between parent–adolescent communication on SRH issues and the utilization of adolescent-friendly health services in Nepal.MethodsThis was a school-based, cross-sectional study conducted in Kailali district, Nepal, among students aged 15–19 years in Grade 11 and 12 from seven schools. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis to examine the association between parent–adolescent communication and service utilization.ResultsWe analyzed the data from 594 students. Students with a higher score of parent–adolescent communication on SRH were significantly more likely to use adolescent-friendly health services (adjusted odds ratio, AOR: 1.70, 95% Confidence Interval, CI: 1.29–2.23, p<0.001). Those who reported having engaged in sexual intercourse in the past year were more likely to use services than those who did not (AOR: 29.11, 95% CI: 13.65–62.08, p<0.001). Those who belonged to the Janajati ethnic group were more likely to use these services than those from the Brahmin/Chhetri ethnic group (AOR: 2.86, 95% CI: 1.28–6.42, p = 0.01). Those living alone were less likely to use services than those living with both parents (AOR: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.02–0.66, p = 0.01).ConclusionStudents with a higher score on parent–adolescent communication on SRH were more likely to use adolescent-friendly health services. Thus, parental involvement in SRH communication could contribute to the use of adolescent-friendly health services and ultimately prevent negative SRH outcomes among students in late adolescence.
