Distinctive personality traits account for every person, who they are, and how they behave. These have impacts on the way people perceive the world. Like adults, children and adolescents can be described in terms of personality traits such as characteristics, patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This study reports the personality traits and extent of a misdemeanor of high school students. Also, it seeks to find out if one's personality traits affect the behavioral tendencies and vice-versa, how these traits develop across childhood and adolescence, and how they relate in the transition of adolescence period that involves changes in biological, socio-emotional, and well-being. The vast majority of research has focused more on adulthood and is scarcer than adolescent personality traits research. Additionally, the relationship between personality traits and misdemeanor and the demographic variables was also explored.

Distinctive personality traits account for every person, who they are, and how they behave. This study reported the personality traits and extent of misdemeanor of high school students. Additionally, the relationship between personality traits and misdemeanor in demographic variables was also explored. Using descriptive- correlational research designs, 100 respondents who were identified with misdemeanor cases provided data for this study. Using frequency count, mean, and Chi-square in analyzing the results, findings of the study revealed an average level of personality traits and a moderate extent of misdemeanor. Alcohol, school misconduct, and vandalism were found as salient misdemeanor acts among respondents. Furthermore, both indirect and direct salient factors attributed to personality traits and misdemeanor were influential to students. Moreover, indirect and direct sources could predict personality traits and misdemeanor among demographic variables. Intervention program that motivates positive attitude and discipline should be established to manage and cope with behavioral problems.

Psychological well-being (PWB) refers to a person's quality of looking at things and situations. Despite one's limitations, he/she can overcome challenges and live a satisfying, productive, and happy life. It has become an interesting subject and a growing concern, especially for those who go through an unfavorable life situation. Thus, the paper describes the level of psychological well-being of Catholic high school students with absentee parents studying in a private school in Antique during the school year 2019-2020. Furthermore, it determines the relationship existing between psychological well-being and students' demographics such as sex, family monthly income, academic level, involvement in ministry, and Sunday Mass attendance.

Phubbing is a new form of neglect, and recent studies have examined the effects of parental phubbing on adolescent psychological development. The aim of this study was to explore whether there would be a significant correlation between mother phubbing (Mphubbing) and loneliness and whether mother–adolescent communication (MAC) and perceived mother acceptance (PMA) would sequentially mediate the relation between Mphubbing and adolescent loneliness. Our study included 3,293 senior high school students from China who completed measurements regarding demographic variables, Mphubbing, MAC, PMA, and loneliness. The sequential mediation model of MAC and PMA in the relationship between Mphubbing and loneliness was analyzed to verify all possible paths in this study. Taking the demographic variables as covariables, the results indicated that (1) Mphubbing was positively correlated with loneliness in adolescents and (2) MAC and PMA mediated the relationship between Mphubbing and adolescent loneliness sequentially. Our study highlights the potential mediating mechanisms between Mphubbing and adolescent loneliness, which has important implications for the theoretical and practical of adolescent loneliness in the age of mobiles.

Past research has found that sport team identification is positively correlated with social psychological health (Phua, 2012; Wann & Weaver, 2009) including work testing adolescent fans (Wann, Brasher, Thomas, & Scheuchner, in press).  The current study was designed to extend previous investigations by examining the relationship between team identification and the establishment and maintenance of social connections.  Data from 177 high school students confirmed expectations as identification with a high school football team was positively correlated with both social well-being and social connections.  However, social connections were not found to mediate the relationship between identification and well-being, contrary to the team identification – social psychological health model (Wann, 2006b).
