Phubbing, defined as paying attention to one's smartphone instead of interacting with other people in social contexts, has become a common phenomenon. However, the determinants of this behavior remain unclear. Therefore, we explored whether fear of missing out mediates the relationship between relative deprivation and phubbing. A sample of 858 college students completed measures to assess relative deprivation, fear of missing out, and phubbing. The results show that relative deprivation was positively correlated with phubbing. Further, fear of missing out fully mediated the relationship between relative deprivation and phubbing, which indicates that college students who perceived more relative deprivation tended to be more prone to experiencing fear of missing out, and thus more vulnerable to phubbing. Our findings extend understanding of the antecedents of phubbing from the individual microlevel to the psychosocial factor macrolevel.

This study aims to test the relationship between self-regulation and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). This research was conducted on 100 college students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Indonesia, from representatives of 11 faculties. The data collection method used the FoMO scale and the self-regulation scale. The reliability test used Cronbach’s alpha, and the validity test used the product-moment correlation technique. Validity Test uses product-moment correlation technique, while Reliability Test uses alpha Cronbach. Test validity with N = 40 and table = 0.312 (p=0.05). FoMO scale of 40 items. There were 31 valid items and nine deciduous items moving from 0.334 to 0.715 with a reliability of 0.916. At the same time, the scale of self-regulation is as much as 50 items. There were 38 valid items and 12 deciduous items moving from 0.316 to 0.704 with reliability of 0.925. Based on the results of the study obtained Fcount = 0.739 with Ftable=1.69 (F count < Ftable) and r count = -0.595 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) so based on the results of the analysis that there is a significant relationship between FoMO and self-regulation in students Instagram users at Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Indonesia. The correlation result indicates a negative value, meaning the higher the self-regulation, the lower the FoMO, or the lower the self-regulation, the higher the FoMO. Then obtained the value of coefficient self-regulation variable determination against FoMO of 35.4%

The Relationship

Smartphone addiction is a behavioral dependence characterized by excessive or compulsive Internet use and a preoccupation with and loss of control over this use that interferes with an individual’s daily functioning and results in negative mental processes and subsequent social consequences. Smartphone addiction can negatively impact physical and mental health as well as academic performance, sleep quality, and even interpersonal interaction and relationships. Based on the compensatory Internet use theory, this study explores the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and smartphone addiction in college students and constructed a moderated mediation model. A sample of 881 college students was tested using the Interpersonal Sensitivity Scale, Smart Phone Addiction Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale, and Relational Self-Construal Scale. We used AMOS 26.0 to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis and employed SPSS 24.0 to test our hypotheses. The results indicated that (1) interpersonal sensitivity was positively related to the fear of missing out and smartphone addiction; (2) the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and mobile phone addiction; (3) relational self-construal moderated interpersonal sensitivity and the fear of missing out; and (4) relational self-construal moderated the mediating effect of the fear of missing out on the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and smartphone addiction. We concluded that the fear of missing out and relational self-construal play a moderated mediation effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and interpersonal sensitivity. Our findings provided some theoretical implications. Specifically, in addition to proposing a new approach for the study of smartphone addiction, we also introduced a theoretical basis for psychotherapy and intervention of smartphone addiction. In addition, this study also provides some insightful ideas for educational practitioners.

Reduction of excessive alcohol consumption still remains a significant challenge to the actions in the scope of public health of European citizens. The aim of this study is to present the prevalence of alcohol consumption and to estimate the occurrence of risky drinking among college students from the Polish, Slovak, Romanian, and Ukrainian parts of the Carpathian Euroregion, taking social contexts into account. The consumption of alcohol was estimated on the basis of the respondents’ statements regarding the quantity and frequency of their consumption of beer, wine, and vodka. The study included people from the first year of undergraduate studies. The analysis used the Chi-square independence test and odds ratios (ORs). There were significant differences in the frequency of alcohol consumption, as well as the individual types consumed, among the respondents from the analyzed countries. Of the examined college students, 70% admit to occasional drinking. The pattern of dangerous alcohol consumption occurs in the case of approximately every seventh person. Risky drinking occurs with much greater frequency among male students rather than their female counterparts. In Romania, a very small percentage of female students engage in risky drinking. The analysis did not show statistically significant differences in the frequency of risky drinking between countries. The coexistence of other adverse health behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol abuse, was confirmed.

Untuk meraih gelar sarjana di perguruan tinggi, mahasiswa diwajibkan untuk menyelesaikan tugas akhir skripsi. Umumnya mahasiswa diberikan waktu untuk penyusunan skripsi selama 1 semester atau kuranglebih 6 bulan. Namun banyak mahasiswa yang memerlukan waktu lebih dari enam bulan untuk mengerjakan skripsi[5]. Hal ini berakibat pada masa studi mahasiswa yang menjadi lebih lama dari yang seharusnya. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan keterlambatan mahasiswa dalam menyusun skripsi adalah prokrastinasi akademik. Prokrastinasi akademik ini terkait dengan self efficacy yang dimiliki mahasiswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasional yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara self efficacy dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada mahasiswa Universitas Sumatera Utara yang sedang menyusun skripsi. Menurut Steel (2007) prokrastinasi adalah menunda dengan sengaja kegiatan yang diinginkan walaupun individu mengetahui bahwa perilaku penundaan tersebut dapat menghasilkan dampak buruk. Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan prokrastinasi yang terjadi pada bidang akademik. Prokrastinasi yang dilakukan berkaitan dengan menunda untuk memulai dan menyelesaikan skripsi. Prokrastinasi akademik berkaitan dengan keyakinan dari dalam diri mahasiswa akan kemampuan yang dimiliki untuk mengerjakan tugas (dalam hal ini adalah penyusunan skripsi). Keyakinan seseorang akan kemampuannya oleh Bandura (2001) disebut sebagai self efficacy. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 307 mahasiswa USU yang sedang menyusun skripsi. Data diambil dengan menggunakan skala self efficacy yang disusun berdasarkan dimensi- dimensi self efficacy [1] dan skala prokrastinasi akademik berdasarkan aspek-aspek prokrastinasi akademik [6]. Hasil analisa data menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif antara self efficacy dengan prokrastinasi akademik pada mahasisa USU yang sedang menyusun skripsi (r = -0.335, p = 0.000).   To get a bachelor's degree in college, students are required to complete the thesis final assignments. Generally, students are given time for the preparation of a thesis for 1 semester or approximately 6 months. But many students need more than six months to work on a thesis [5]. This results in the study period of students becoming longer than they should. One of the factors that causes student delays in preparing a thesis is academic procrastination. Academic procrastination is related to student self-efficacy. This research was a correlational study that aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination in University of Sumatera Utara students who were preparing a thesis. According to Steel (2007) procrastination is to deliberately delay the desired activity even though the individual knows that the delaying behavior can produce adverse effects. Academic procrastination is procrastination that occurs in the academic field. Procrastination is carried out in connection with delaying starting and completing a thesis. Academic procrastination is related to the confidence in the student's ability to do the task (in this case the preparation of the thesis). A person's belief in his ability by Bandura (2001) is referred as self-efficacy. The sample of this study was 307 USU students who were preparing a thesis. Data were taken using the scale of self-efficacy which was compiled based on the dimensions of self-efficacy [1] and the scale of academic procrastination based on aspects of academic procrastination [6]. The results of data analysis showed a negative relationship between self-efficacy and academic procrastination of USU's students who were preparing a thesis (r = -0.335, p = 0.000).

Frustration is often seen as negative, but as to whether it may have a positive impact on the individual is still undecided. This research was conducted to explore the influence of frustration on altruistic tendency and altruistic level in college students (17–21 years old). By presenting a highly difficult task combined with negative feedback, we effectively induced frustration in Experiment 1 (n = 70). By assessing the donation behavior of participants (n = 54) in a real-life scenario following the experimental manipulation of frustration, we examined the relationship between frustration and altruism in Experiment 2. Results showed that frustrating situations could, on some level, improve altruistic behavior [t(8.834) = 3.013, p = 0.015]. More specifically, among participants who donated, the amount donated was higher in the frustration group compared to the control (fulfillment) group; the proportion of people who donated did not differ by group.

Property Regimes

Beginning with theories of absolute property, this introduction considers the merits of a more composite view, namely the ‘bundle of rights’ concept. Anthropologists discuss the relationships between people at the heart of property regimes, but personhood must also be seen as embedded in the things owned. The ideas of rules and control are key, and the concept of control at a distance provides useful conceptual purchase. Property is a complex idea to articulate, and natural law, religious and political frameworks of property are interwoven. Moreover, property is shaped by economic prerogatives, and its management shapes the relationship between the individual and the community, and the preservation of common resources. Property is, then, thoroughly embedded in social contexts, which in turn can render property highly unstable and contingent. It is precisely because of these kinds of tensions that legalism is so often invoked in order to manage and even create property relations.

The present research focuses on populism as a bottom-up phenomenon that emerges from shared perceptions of relative deprivation. We predict that by serving as a shared ideological basis, populist attitudes can mobilize leaderless anti-government protest across ideological boundaries. We test this prediction in the context of the French Yellow Vests movement. Using a sample of French citizens (N = 562), we compare the effects of different indicators of relative deprivation on Yellow Vest protest participation and the extent to which populist attitudes account for these relationships. Results indicate that protests were fuelled by indicators of relative deprivation at the individual and group levels. Populist attitudes were best predicted by vertical comparisons between “the people” and “the elite” and fully accounted for the relationship between this type of group relative deprivation and protesting. Conversely, populist attitudes only partially accounted for the relationships between protesting and traditional measures of relative deprivation that either contrast natives with immigrants or individuals with fellow citizens. The findings strengthen the understanding of populism as a “thin centred” belief set that can unite and mobilize those who feel unfairly disadvantaged compared to a socio-political elite.

The present study was aimed at examining the relationship between Irrational Beliefs and Depression among the late adolescent college students (N=502). Studies have found depression to be one of the most crippling disorders and the leading cause for suicide among all age groups and that this state is primarily being caused by wrong thinking and belief patterns such as irrational beliefs and further irrational beliefs are being maintained due to the depressed state of the individual. Hence the present study apart from analyzing the directions of possible relationship of Irrational Beliefs with Depression, reviews the existing literature to showcase how one causes and maintains the other.
