A total of 255 teachers (females = 56%, elementary in an urban area = 47%, mean years of service = 9.77, SD = 8.23) completed surveys on Trust, CE, and OCB. Results from partial least square structural equation modelling indicated that Trust in colleagues, Trust in students and CE were related to OCB, while Trust in principals and parents was not. Trust in principals and colleagues was positively related to CE, but not Trust in parents and students. Most importantly, CE only mediates the relationship between teacher Trust and OCB and the relationship between Trust in colleagues and OCB. These findings are consistent with social exchange theory by which work behaviours may be contingent on perceived worth to self and the organisation. The results imply that school management and policymakers should implement strategies to recognise teachers’ accomplishments and promote a supportive environment through peer mentoring programmes.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latent variables structural equation modelling analysis indicated that passive social network site use was negatively associated with loneliness. Social support and self-concept clarity significantly mediated the relationship between passive social network site use and loneliness, reducing the risk for loneliness, and with sequential mediating effects of social support and self-esteem. This study’s findings suggest that the passive use of social networking sites can help students gain more social support, improve self-concept clarity, and in turn reduce loneliness. Increasing social support and enhancing self-concept clarity through psychological intervention programmes may be an effective way to reduce individual loneliness.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139290363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They completed measures of the Marital Adjustment Test, the Interpersonal Relationship Sensitivity Subscale of SCL-90, the Peer Relationships Scale for Children and Adolescents, and the Online Interpersonal Relationship Addiction Scale. Path analysis results showed that higher parental marital quality was associated with lower adolescents’ risk for online social addiction. Interpersonal sensitivity played a partial mediating role in the relationship between adolescents’ parental marital quality and online social addiction, to explain only some of the adolescents’ online social addiction. Peer relationships had a moderating effect on the relationship between adolescents’ parental marital quality and online social addiction so that as peer relationships improved, parental marital quality effects on adolescents’ online social addiction declined. These findings are consistent with social compensation theory and contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that shape adolescent Internet addiction.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139291045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary data were analysed from the 2017 national and cross-sectional school health surveys in Liberia and Mauritius which sampled 4 934 adolescents (median age 17 years). One in five students (20.6%) reported one type of current substance use, 6.2% two types of current substance use, and 3.8% three types of current substance use. Almost one in 10 (7.8%) students reported current alcohol and tobacco use, 4.6% current alcohol and cannabis use, and 5.2% current cannabis and tobacco use. Male sex, older age, parental tobacco use, passive smoking, psychological distress, soft drink intake, school truancy and low parental support were associated with a higher degree of comorbid substance. One in 10 students engaged in two or three types of current substance use, and several associated factors were identified. Interventions targeting comorbid substance use among adolescents should prioritise identified associated factors.Keywords: comorbid substance useadolescentsLiberiaMauritiusrisk factorsprotective factors AcknowledgementsThis paper uses data from the Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS).

A total of 72 Ghanaian students attending a public university in Accra (64% females; 85% undergraduate; 90% in the 18–35 age range) provided written responses of their expectations from their counselling centre. Thematic analyses yielded two essential counselling centre needs: Enhanced counselling centre functions and the elimination of systems barriers. For enhanced counselling centre functions, students reported needing traditional and non-traditional services, as well as advocacy efforts on their behalf. Systems barriers students wanted eliminated were stigma, low awareness and inaccessibility. These findings indicate a need for a holistic approach to service delivery, and elimination of services-seeking barriers to improve counselling centre service utilisation at Ghanaian universities.Keywords: Ghanauniversity studentsmental health services utilisationcounselling centreneeds assessment Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article and its supplementary material.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136112959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
