A total of 350 participants were chosen to participate in this study using simple random sampling techniques. A 22-item multidimensional state boredom questionnaire and 21-item social networking usage served as an instrument wherein the Jamovi was used for data analysis. The mean and standard deviation were utilized to test the level of both variables, and results showed that the level of social media usage and boredom proneness among students is high. The Shapiro-Wilk test was utilized to test the normality; it revealed that the data is not normally distributed. The Spearman rho correlation coefficient test revealed a significant relationship between social media usage and students’ boredom proneness, with a p-value of .001, indicating a strong positive correlation. Meanwhile, the result of Linear Regression showed 71% of the variance is explained by the three significant predictors contributing to the students’ social media usage which are Time Perception, Inattention and Disengagement. The study’s findings indicate that increased use of social media is associated with higher levels of boredom. In this case, school administration, local health authorities, and school counseling and guidance offices should enhance the implementation of policies regarding the responsible use of social media, integrate the findings into various programs, and increase public awareness of the effects of excessive social media use on people’s mental health and academic performance. Lastly, researchers should consider extending this topic with a quantitative approach and investigate the possible mediating factors between boredom and social media usage.","PeriodicalId":492521,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Human Psychology","volume":"7 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141686410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study involved 350 students, offering insights into their experiences with FoMO and self-esteem. The results indicate that the students experience moderate levels of FoMO, both in private and social contexts, alongside moderate levels of self-esteem, with signs of disagreement in self-competence and self-liking. Spearman’s rho correlation analysis highlights a significant positive correlation between FoMO and self-esteem, suggesting that higher self-esteem may be associated with slightly greater FoMO experiences.

However, significant studies on the detrimental impacts of gaming, such as addiction, depression, and aggressiveness, have been found in several studies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of exploration of the effect of specific game genre addiction on the psychological well-being of students, not only in the Philippines but also around the world. The researchers used a quantitative, predictive design for this study. A total of 350 respondents participated in the study. In terms of MOBA usage, the average engagement level among college students was x̄ = 3.04, SD = 1.25. The study findings suggest that college students, on average, reported mild levels of psychological discomfort (x̄ = 2.27, SD = 0.742). Despite their involvement in MOBA activities, there appears to be a baseline level of psychological discomfort among participants. The researchers concluded that there is a positive significant correlation between MOBA addiction and psychological discomfort. Regression analysis, conducted with a significance threshold of 0.05, revealed that only the “Withdrawal” subscale of MOBA Addiction exhibited a predictive relationship (p = 0.03) Despite the significance of these findings, it is essential for future studies to address potential biases in participants’ responses. Additionally, it is recommended that future researchers conduct qualitative inquiries to provide a comprehensive understanding of the variables involved.","PeriodicalId":492521,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Human Psychology","volume":"29 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141344470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilizes the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) as its primary tool. A total of 350 students were randomly selected and their responses were subjected to a Shapiro-Wilk test for normality. The results revealed in Table 4 found significant differences between the different demographic groups and their varying significant effects to HPLP.

Moreover, the significant differences in Department reported an F (3,99.5) = 4.82, p = 0.003 with an effect size, eta-squared (η2) 0.040, indicating a small size effect. Furthermore, the Year Level differences was revealed by an F (5, 135) = 0.952, p <0.001 with an effect size, eta-squared (η2) 0.087 indicating a medium size effect. The data indicates that Year Level is the most influential demographic profile of respondents.

A total of 375 university students participated, providing a diverse sample for a comprehensive investigation into these variables. The analyzed data revealed that the level of Emotional Styles is moderately evident among university students, emphasizing social intuition as the highest. On the other hand, there is a slightly high level of Social Intelligence, particularly the social information processing dimension. Pearson r analysis showed a positive correlation between the variables (p= <0.001; r=0.472). Furthermore, linear regression analysis highlights social intuition (p=0.041; t=2.049) and sensitivity to context (p=0.003; t=2.953) as significant predictors of Social Intelligence, emphasizing the importance of understanding nonverbal cues and contextual sensitivity in interpersonal interactions. With these results, the research recommends exploring additional factors, such as empathy and self-regulation, on the dimensions of Emotional Styles that could significantly influence Social Intelligence.
