Objectives: In this study, we sought to determine the prevalence of problematic Internet use (PIU) among high school students and identify demographic and socioeconomic factors related to PIU. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, we conducted this study between November 2017 and January 2018 of 1412 students attending high schools in the Silivri District of Istanbul in Turkey. We administered a questionnaire inquiring about sociodemographic information, Internet use, and Young's Internet Addiction Test to participating students. Results: Among participants, 18.5% (male = 17.2%; females = 19.8%) were found to show PIU. PIU rates were higher among those with a high household income and lower among those who studied in science high schools, performed physical activities at least 2 days a week, and read at least one book a month. PIU rates were also higher among those who had their own bedrooms, phones, smartphones, Internet connections at home, and social networking accounts. Conclusion: The prevalence of PIU among the participants was 18.5%. Female sex, high household income, low physical activity, grade level, school type, reading fewer than one book per month, and Internet use experience were risk factors for PIU. PIU is considered a significant public health concern across the world, including in Turkey.

The Impact

The aim of this study is to assess the egoistic, altruistic and biospheric awareness of the consequence of high school students regarding the loss of bio-diversity, then comparing the results on the basis of some independent variables (gender, class and family income). The research data were collected from 884 ninth and tenth grade high school students through the survey on the consequence of awareness of the loss of bio-diversity. According to the outcome of the research, students believed in biospheric, egoistic and altruistic results at the similar levels. While the impact of gender and family income on biospheric, altruistic and egoistic awareness of consequence is not so significant, the impact of class is significant on biospheric and altruistic awareness of consequence. Finally, class level and school variables may lead to the prediction of awareness of consequence on loss of bio-diversity; school type-family income, parent education levels not. Keywords: norm activation model, biodiversity, awareness of consequence, high school.

This study aimed to determine if there are significant direct and indirect relationships between self-compassion and career and talent development self-efficacy of high school students when mediated by hope. Additionally, levels of and differences in terms of sex and grade level were also explored. Through descriptive-comparative and correlational research designs, 261 respondents answered three standardized self-report questionnaires. Analyses of the data using appropriate statistical tools revealed moderate levels of self-compassion and career and talent development self-efficacy and a high level of hope among the respondents. Significant sex and grade level differences were found in self-compassion, while such differences do not exist in their level of career and talent development self-efficacy. Likewise, no significant sex differences, but significant grade level differences in the respondents' levels of hope were found. Most importantly, direct and indirect relationships between self-compassion and career and talent development self-efficacy, when mediated by hope, were found to be significant. The results of the study were used as the basis for an Enhanced Career Guidance Program.

According to the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE), attending academically selective high schools negatively affects academic self-concept. Does the BFLPE persist after graduation from high school? In two large, representative samples of German high school students (Study 1: 2,306 students, 147 schools; Study 2: 1,758 students, 94 schools), the predictive effects of individual achievement test scores and school grades on math self-concept are very positive, whereas the predictive effects of school-average achievement are negative (the BFLPE). Both studies showed that the BFLPE was substantial at the end of high school and was still substantial 2 years (Study 1) or 4 years (Study 2) later. In addition, because of the highly salient system of school tracks within the German education system, the authors are able to show that negative effects associated with school type (highly academically selective schools, the Gymnasium) were similar—but smaller—than the BFLPE based on school-average achievement.

Background: Narcotics are substances or drugs that are natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic that cause unconsciousness, hallucinations, and excitability. Drugs abuse survey results in 2017 in 34 provinces in Indonesia show that there are 3,376,115 people who use drugs. Purpose: The purpose of writing this article was finding out the source of cadres’ self-efficacy in preventing drugs abuse in Surabaya’s high schools. Method: This research method was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The informants of this study were high school students who were still active as anti-drugs cadres. The criteria for informant inclusion in this study were all high school students who were peer educators or anti-drug ambassadors in high schools in the North Surabaya area. When the study was conducted in October 2018 to June 2019. The method of data collection was in-depth interviews. Results: The results of this study were the source of self-efficacy of anti-drugs abuse cadres based on experience, observations of other individuals, verbal persuasion, and emotional and psychological conditions. The experience of the cadres included being a peer counsellor in drugs prevention, having participated in anti-drug communities, and experiencing following anti-drugs socialization. Component of experience through observation of other people, cadres did not make observations on people who had the same ability, but observations were made to people around cadres who had been involved in drug abuse. Components of verbal persuasion in this study concluded that there are others who always support all decisions and situations experienced by cadres, namely social support from teachers, parents, and peers. The Emotional/Physiological States component, namely the cadres in carrying out their duties felt happy because they have many positive changes and did not experience anxiety or pressure, which made them have positive self-efficacy. Conclusion: Sources of self-efficacy of anti-drugs abuse cadres are based on past experiences, observations of other individuals, verbal persuasion, and emotional and physiological conditions.
