This study aims to ascertain the influence of peer attachment and self-regulated learning on the academic flow of students at Muhammadiyah senior high schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative research methodology. The study sample consisted of 255 twelfth-grade students of the Muhammadiyah High Schools, selected using the stratified random sampling technique. For the measurement, three psychological scales were employed, including the academic flow scale, the peer attachment scale, and the self-regulated learning (SRL) scale. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, with the assistance of the SPSS for Windows 23.0 program. The results of the primary hypothesis yielded an R-squared value of 0.603 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.01), indicating that peer attachment and self-regulated learning exert a significant influence on academic flow. The first minor hypothesis test yielded a t-value of 2.189, with a p-value of 0.030, which is less than 0.05. The second minor hypothesis test yielded a t-value of 9.779 and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant result (p < 0.01). The statistical results demonstrate that peer attachment and self-regulated learning have a significant impact on academic flow, with each factor exerting a positive influence. The results demonstrate that self-regulated learning makes a significant contribution to academic flow, accounting for 32.67% of the variance. Similarly, peer attachment is found to have a notable impact on academic flow, explaining 3.70% of the variation.

The perspective and preferences of adolescents in addressing sensitive health topics with their family doctor – The influence of childhood adversities

ObjectiveTo investigate whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) influence adolescents’ perspectives and preferences in addressing sensitive health topics and their general perception of family doctor's care, and also to study the impact of addressing sensitive topics regarding adolescents’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). MethodsTwo hundred and forty-five tenth to twelfth grade students completed a questionnaire, comprising the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), and scales to assess experiences, preferences, perspectives, the general perception of family doctor visits, and HRQoL. ResultsThe total CTQ-SF score negatively predicted the preferences in addressing sensitive topics and the general perception of family doctor's care. Being asked about sensitive topics positively predicted the perception of family doctor's care and was positively associated with three dimensions of HRQoL. ConclusionThe greater the frequency of ACEs reported by the adolescents, the less willing they were to be asked about sensitive topics and the worse was the general perception of family doctor’s care. However, when asked about sensitive topics, the adolescents had a more positive general perception and a better HRQoL. Practice ImplicationsThis study helps family doctors understand the need to adapt communication skills and to build a trustful relationship with adolescents who reported ACEs.

Data are collected by telephone or face-to-face from a sample of 277 eleventh- to twelfth-grade students in Israel who are asked to participate in the survey. Cyberbullying roles are composed of two variables—cyberbullies and cyber victims, creating four groups: cyberbullies, cyber victims, cyberbullies-and-victims, and non-involved. Three types of family climate are measured: warmth, order and supervision, and conflict. Respondents report their perceptions of peers’ engagement in cyberbullying. At the personal level, gender, perception of academic achievements, and school absence are measured. Multinomial logistic regression findings show that boys are more likely to be cyberbullies and cyberbullies-victims than are girls; family conflicts increase the odds of being cyberbullies and cyber victims; and family warmth decreases the odds of being cyber victims and cyberbullies-cyber victims. Perception of peers’ engagement in cyberbullying increases the odds of being cyberbullies and cyberbullies-victims. Perception of academic achievements and school absence have opposite effects on cyber victims, the former increasing the odds of being cyber victims and the latter decreasing them. The results emphasize the role of family and peers in adolescents’ cyber behavior. Limitations and conclusions are discussed.
