This study explores the link between smartphone addiction in senior high-school students, parent–child relationship, loneliness, and self-efficacy on the basis of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social cognitive theory (SCT). A survey of 2172 students (1205 female students, 966 male students; mean age = 16.58 years, SD = 0.78) from 32 senior high schools in Taiwan was conducted. Moderation mediation analysis was performed using Model 14 of SPSS PROCESS-macro to test the hypotheses of this study. The result showed that the parent–child relationship was negatively related both to smartphone addiction and loneliness, which mediated the link between parent–child relationship and smartphone addiction. Self-efficacy was also found to moderate the level of loneliness related to smartphone addiction. Specifically, loneliness will ease when the parent–child relationship improves, and smartphone addiction will accordingly lessen. It was also discovered that the elevation of self-efficacy could mitigate the level of addiction. Lastly, this study provided parents, education agencies, and other policymakers in the education sector with implications based on these findings. Preventive measures for smartphone addiction and recommendations for future investigations are also given.

The stressful relationship between children and parents is the pain with which both go through when they find themselves unable to cope as a parent or a child. In order to find out the impact COVID-19 pandemic and suggest some solutions to reduce stress between parents and children, we conducted a survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stressful relationships between parents and children at high school age in Da Nang city. In a survey of randomly-selected high school students, the findings reveal a high rate of tension between them and their parents, particularly up to 38.5% (212/550). In reality, there are many factors affecting the stressful relationship between children and their parents at this age, in which psychological fear about health; social distancing policy; closed schools; students staying at home 24 hours a day and learning online; the disruption in children's daily routine; excessive use of electronic devices, are major causes of stress in the relationship between children and their parents. From this practice, our research team have proposed such solutions as creating outdoor activities and consulting the handbook; designing extra-curricular activities and more importantly, organizing training courses on life values for parents to increase happiness and reduce stress in parent-child relationship.

In recent years, many horticulture departments around the United States have been concerned with recruiting and retaining an adequate number of students. One potential recruitment opportunity is the horticulture Future Farmers of America (FFA) Career Development Events (CDEs). For the time period of 1999 to 2012 (14 years), 1462 students participated in the annual state-level horticulture contests, comprising floriculture and nursery/landscape CDEs, held at Kansas State University (KSU). Using the rosters from these two CDEs, we referenced the university’s student information database to determine whether the high school students who participated as FFA horticulture CDE contestants ultimately matriculated to KSU. Fifty-two percent of former FFA horticulture CDE participants were accepted to KSU and 32% matriculated. Of these, 58% enrolled in the College of Agriculture and 19% majored in horticulture. Therefore, 3.5% of total horticulture CDE participants majored in horticulture at KSU. Students who participated in more than one horticulture CDE over time were more likely to major in horticulture at KSU compared with students who competed only once. Thirty-nine percent of students who participated in both horticulture CDEs pursued a baccalaureate program in horticulture. These two student characteristics could be used as indicator data points to target recruitment of future horticulture students. Data about the high school programs that generated contest participants were also summarized. Exceling in the CDE contests was not an indicator CDE participants would pursue a baccalaureate degree in horticulture. These analyses suggest FFA CDEs have some potential to optimize student recruitment efforts.

The well-known view that success leads to success and failure or frustration with learning to more failure has been investigated by Keister and Updegraff (1937). This has also been proved correct in recent years (Latta, 1978). Ample research observations exist concerning under-achievement and its aetiology or associated features. One of the more recent pieces of research refers to parental influences on a child's capacity to achieve academically (Su, 1976). Su surveyed the perceptions of parents of 352 male and female Junior high-school students who were classified as high, medium or low achievers on the basis of the differences between their expected and actual scores in school examinations. Only students scoring between 90 and 135 on the Army General Classification Test were included. Attitudes towards parents were assessed with ‘the parent/child relationship questionnaire’. Results indicate that high achievers perceive their parents more favourably than do low achievers, rating them higher in giving love and respect. Low achievers felt more rejection and neglect, and received fewer symbolic rewards and more symbolic punishments. Males more than females perceived their parents as demanding and not as showing love and care. Both males and females felt their mothers were more rejecting than their fathers.
