Full textAbstract:
Background Lifestyle choices reflect the beliefs that individuals attribute to aspects of life. This construct can be assessed with the Individual Lifestyle Profile (PEVI) questionnaire, which measures elements of Nutrition, Physical Activity, Preventive Behaviors, Social Relationships and Stress Management. Objective The objective of this study was to estimate the psychometric properties of the PEVI applied to a sample of Brazilian university students, identifying the prevalence of each lifestyle component according to participants’ age, sex, weight status, course area/field and economic stratum and to estimate the contribution of these characteristics on physical and psychological lifestyle. Methods The PEVI data was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis, using the indexes chi-square per degrees of freedom ratio (χ2/df), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA). First-order and second-order models (physical and psychological lifestyle) were tested. Prevalences of lifestyle components were calculated and compared by participants’ age, sex, weight status, course area/field and economic stratum. A hypothetical causal structural model was elaborated to investigate the impact of sample characteristics on physical and psychological lifestyles. This model was evaluated considering the global fit to the data (χ2/df, CFI, TLI and RMSEA) and the hypothetical causal trajectories (β) (α = 5%). Results A sample of 1,303 students was used. The mean age was 20.9 (standard deviation = 2.8) years, 66.8% of participants were females, 63.4% had weights in the normal range and 73.7% were students of the social and exact sciences. The PEVI data showed an adequate fit for both the first- (χ2/df = 2.03, CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.04) and second-order (χ2/df = 2.25; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.04) models. There was a higher prevalence of unfavorable physical and psychological lifestyle choices among females, among underweight and obese individuals, in older students and in those with lower economic strata. Moreover, negative behaviors in physical lifestyle were more prevalent in students from human/social/exact sciences and worse psychological lifestyle was observed among health sciences students. These results were confirmed by a structural model. Conclusion The PEVI data presented validity and reliability. Negative lifestyle choices had high prevalence among students. Moreover, individual characteristics had different impact on physical and psychological lifestyle choices.

Abstract Objectives The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the daily lives of the education practice worldwide. This study aims to determine the psychological aspects and eating habits of Indonesian college students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods A survey was conducted online during social isolation from April to June 2021 among the Indonesian population. A total of 952 Indonesian students participated in this cross-sectional online survey. Students reported their psychological aspects such as status of emotional eating and emotional state and their eating habits such as dietary pattern and dietary diversity score (DDS) using a self-administered online questionnaire in Qualtrics platform. The bivariate analysis was used to describe and assess their psychological aspects and eating habits in relation to their socio-demographic during the Covid-19 pandemic. Results Students' mean aged was 21.60 ± 4.20 years. The average BMI of all subjects was 22.20 ± 4.10 kg/m2, 16.30% were underweight and 34.00% were overweight/obese. Most students frequently eat staple foods such as rice and bread also eat animal source food like egg and chicken minimum 1x/day. Of 58.4% and 29% reported to have moderate and high dietary diversity status, respectively. Students with emotional eating status found 30.40% and significantly associated with female students (p = 0.005). Emotional eating status was associated with nutritional status (p = 0.002) and its common in overweight/obese students (43.90%), normal (42.30%), and underweight (13.80%). It was examined that increasing BMI followed with increasing emotional eating status (p = 0.001). Students who had emotional states were related to uncontrol eating during pandemic (OR = 1.8, 95%CI 1.33–2.42, p < 0.001). Conclusions In this study, it has been provided that the Covid-19 pandemic has heavily influenced students’ psychological and eating habits. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, the data need to be confirmed for further research.

Abstract Objective To investigate the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in university students, the factors associated with PMS, the most prevalent symptoms, and the interference of symptoms in academic, family, social, and work activities. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,115 university students aged ≥ 18 years from the University of Rio Verde, Goiás. Premenstrual syndrome and PMDD were identified using the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool. Associations with sociodemographic, behavioral, reproductive, nutritional, and health factors were investigated using the Poisson regression. Results The prevalence of PMS was 46.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 44.0–49.8), and of PMDD, 11.1% (95% CI 9.3–13.0). The most prevalent symptoms were physical, such as breast tenderness, bloating, e weight gain (73%); followed by psychological ones such as overeating/food cravings, tearful/more sensitive to rejection (> 60%). More than 30% of the patients reported that the symptoms interfered in a moderate-to-severe way in their social and academic activities. After adjusted analysis, PMS was more prevalent in those who were attending the 1st/2nd semester of college (prevalence ratio [PR] 1.44; 95% CI 1.14–1.80), those who consumed alcohol in the last 30 days (PR 1.23; 95% CI 1.04–1.47), and those who had depression (PR 1.49; 95% CI 1.30–1.71). Conclusion Almost half of the university students had PMS and ∼ 11%, PMDD. Physical symptoms were the most common and interfered in a moderate-to-severe way in various aspects of life. Attending the first semesters, consuming alcohol, and having depression were risk factors for PMS. The identification of risk factors for PMS is essential to prevent symptoms and reduce the impact of the syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
Background Community-based agriculture has been found to decrease food insecurity and alleviate health inequities. Furthermore, it provides a sense of ownership, resources to help integrate new communities, and a space to nurture existing cultural identities for intersectionally diverse gardeners. This sense of belonging in connection with access to growing plots has been linked to psychological well-being and resilience. However, little is known about how the psychosocial benefits of plot ownership affect resilience and which aspects of this resilience are salient. Objective This community-based participatory research (CBPR) project will examine the role of community gardens in decreasing food insecurity and facilitating various forms of resilience in food-insecure groups in Rochester, Minnesota. Since participation in community gardens nurtures various forms of resilience along individual, group, and community dimensions, our research seeks to understand how dimensions of resilience vary along intersectional lines. In addition to mapping the psychosocial benefits linked to plot ownership, we find that examining which forms of resilience are fostered in community-based agricultural projects addresses an important gap in the academic literature. This can help us propose policy-level practices that reduce health inequities connected to food and nutrition at the local level. Methods Using a mixed methods approach, this ongoing community-campus partnership will examine the experiences of current and new plot owners. As a CBPR project, our data collection plan, from design to dissemination, incorporates the intellectual and creative labor of the individuals representing members of the campus community (ie, college students and faculty members engaged in other citizen science projects hosted by the garden), community growers, individuals involved in the community garden’s board, and representatives of various organizational bodies. Data collection activities will consist of surveys, in-depth interviews, and photovoice. Results This project was funded in January 2020 and approved by the University of Minnesota's Institutional Review Board in March 2020. For the 2020 growing season, we will conduct evaluative interviews about the effect of COVID-19 on community gardeners, including their experiences during this growing season. For the 2021 growing season, data collection, via pre- and postsurveys, is projected to begin in March 2021 and end in November 2021. We will also conduct in-depth interviews from January to April 2021. Data analysis will commence in April 2021. Photovoice activities (ie, data collection, analysis, synthesis, and dissemination) are expected to take place during the spring and summer of 2021. Conclusions Findings emerging from this study will provide the preliminary data to foreground community gardening projects and initiatives to improve physical and mental health outcomes in food-insecure communities. Also, the data collected will highlight the role of CBPR methods in disseminating information about the organizational practices of the community garden; this will assist others in planning and implementing similar projects.

Full textAbstract:
As the marcher of life in the times, the network has penetrated into all fields of life and played an immeasurable role. As a specific contemporary group, college students have a weak sense of self-protection and are very vulnerable to adverse factors. Some colleges and universities are trying to explore various psychological intervention modes in order to conduct psychological counselling and prediction more objectively. Network mental education means that, on the premise of using social networks, educators use psychological science methods to exert a positive impact on all aspects of students' mental health education, so as to promote the development of contemporary mental health of college students under social networks and cultivate the correct mentality of using social networks. It is combined with the established college students' rational correlation analysis system. Based on the collected data and basic information of college students' rational evaluation, the improved mining algorithm is used, and some rules and characteristics of college students' psychological related factors are analyzed from the results, which provides a new idea for college students' rational health education. Aiming at realizing the embedded data mining technology in the psychological management system, this paper expounds in detail the design and implementation of the data mining technology module suitable for the psychological management system and discusses the factors affecting students' mental health.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding and solving the psychological health problems of college students have become a focus of social attention. Complex networks have become important tools to study the factors affecting psychological health, and the Gaussian graphical model is often used to estimate psychological networks. However, previous studies leave some gaps to overcome, including the following aspects. (1) When studying networks of subpopulations, the estimation neglects the intrinsic relationships among subpopulations, leading to a large difference between the estimated network and the real network. (2) Because of the high cost, previous psychological surveys often have a small sample size, and the psychological description is insufficient. Here, the intrinsic connections among multiple tasks are used, and multitask machine learning is applied to develop a multitask Gaussian graphical model. The psychological networks of the population and subpopulations are estimated based on psychological questionnaire data. This study is the first to apply a psychological network to such a large-scale college student psychological analysis, and we obtain some interesting results. The model presented here is a dynamic model based on complex networks which predicts individual behavior and provides insight into the intrinsic links among various symptoms.

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the mental health of Chinese college students. The mental health and happiness of college students have become the focus of the government, schools and society. As a special group of society, college students are in the period of personality improvement and development, and their psychological endurance and adjustment ability is relatively weak. Their high self-positioning makes their desire for success very strong. When faced with economic, academic, employment, emotional and other aspects of pressure, often due to improper handling of psychological problems. With the continuous development of psychology, “overall happiness” has gradually become an important comprehensive psychological index to measure people’s mental health. The intervention of mental health education can significantly improve the level of college students’ mental health and subjective well-being. The intervention of mental health education should become an important content and approach of college students’ mental health education.

With with rapid change of climate, sustainable diets considering environmental, economic and social aspects of food system emerged as an important concept worldwide. In this study, the college students’ perceptions on sustainable diets were examined to diagnose their level of understanding and to be used for their future education. The basic data were collected from 115 college students taking an on-line class on food and diets in 2020 and 2021 located in Seoul. The word files of each report were analyzed by using Taguette program, an open-source software for qualitative research and Microsoft Excel. The results were as following. Firstly, the words occurred in the respondents’ mind by sustainable diets were health, environment, being eco-friendly, nutrition/nutrients in order. Abstract concepts occurred by sustainable diets were Health and nutrition, environment and being eco-friendly, and definite concepts related with food were vegetables, organic/no pesticide vegetables, local food, fruits, cooked rice for positive aspect and fast food/instant food, food waste for negative aspect. Secondly, the phrases describing the characteristics of sustainable vs non-sustainable diets were suggested as eco-friendly vs environmental contamination/destroy, health vs non-health, nutritionally balanced diet vs non-balanced diet/diet, eating proper amount vs overeating/eating at night, natural food vs processed food, vegetarian diet/vegetables vs meat diet/meat. Based on the results, the respondents seemed to perceive that sustainable diets are eco-friendly, healthy and nutritionally balanced diets by consuming proper amount of natural or vegetable food rather than process food. Thirdly, the definition of sustainable diets described as a sentence could be categorized into 9 groups by the key words of environment, health, and future. And the most frequent one was a diet that protects environment as well as human health. Above results showed that the respondents do not perceive social and economic aspects of sustainable diets other than envrionment and health when compared with the defition of FAO, the 3rd National Food Education Plan and concept of sustainability. Therefore, social and economic aspects of sustainable diet along with environment and health should be stressed and further education needs to be provided for college students to practice sustainable diets in their daily life.

Abstract Objectives Both mental health and eating disorders are increasing health concerns for college students. This study aimed to examine associative links between psychological distress, eating disorder risk, food addiction, and weight related concerns among first semester college students. Methods Freshman students 18 years or older in all majors in a southeastern university were invited to take an online survey. The measures included demographic characteristics, psychological behaviors and eating disorder risks. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to assess associations. Results Ninety-two students (79.3% female, 61.5% white) completed the survey. Psychological distress significantly correlated with higher eating disorder risk (stress r = 0.28, anxiety r = 0.28, depression r = 0.42; P's < 0.01), higher food addiction symptom count (stress r = 0.30, anxiety r = 0.34, depression r = 0.44; P's < 0.01), and lower weight related quality of life (stress r = −0.27, anxiety r = −0.38, depression r = −0.52; P's < 0.01). Greater anxiety also significantly correlated with lower self-reported dream weights (r = −0.23, P < 0.05) and happy weights (r = −0.23, P < 0.05). Conclusions The findings suggest that the management of psychological well-being of college students is important for prevention and treatment of eating disorders and weight issues in this population.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, the issue of student activity in the educational space is of growing worldwide interest from the academic community and practitioners. With the rapid growth of information and communication technologies penetrating all areas of life, educational space particularly, the research on diverse types of student activity has attracted the attention of international scholars. Student activity transfers to virtual space, so learning and communication activities are largely transformed. Thus, the academic community finds it crucial to analyze integrated activity. The research aims to study integrated student activity in five areas of life and identify its links with the orientation of their communicative activity. It engaged 104 undergraduates from Udmurt University and Medical College. The research was based on Volochkov and Popov’s method of “Diagnostics of student activity” and Vasyura’s method of measuring the orientation of communicative activity. Methods of mathematical statistics were applied to process the data. In student educational activity, three components of activity composition are correlated with the orientation of communicative activity. It is identified that student as an actor of educational activity is likely to be satisfied with academic success and efforts to overcome study barriers if he or she is oriented to actively interact with other actors of educational space.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to explore changes in quality of eating, physical activity habits and changes in mental health-related markers in undergraduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A secondary aim was to explore relationships between health habits and anxiety and depression. Methods Undergraduate student participants (n = = 368, 68.8% females, 80.7% white, mean age of 23.9 ± 7.4 years) from one small private university, one large public university, and one large community college completed a 43-item retrospective online survey from June - December 2021. Frequencies were used to analyze demographics, eating and activity habits, perceived levels of stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, isolation, and difficulty with sleep. Correlations were examined between health habits and levels of anxiety and depression. Jamovi software (2.2.5) was utilized to perform all data analyses. Results The majority of students reported increased feelings of: mental exhaustion (80.4%), feelings of isolation (77.9%), difficulty with sleep (56.1%), anxiety symptoms (76.7%), and feelings of sadness (71.1%). A significant negative correlation was found between feelings of isolation and healthy eating habits (r = −0.12, p = 0.01). A significant negative correlation was also found between difficulty with sleep and vegetable intake (r = −0.10, p = 0.03). Conclusions This study found reported increases in mental exhaustion, feelings of isolation, difficulty with sleep, anxiety symptoms, and symptoms of depression and how changes in lifestyle habits were associated with feelings of anxiety and depression. Findings suggest the pandemic has negatively impacted the mental health and lifestyle habits of undergraduate students. These findings elucidate the need for comprehensive screening, assessment, and resources for mental health in undergraduate students, specifically tailored for anxiety and depression, especially during a time of a global pandemic. Funding Sources Student Undergraduate Research Experience (S.U.R.E) Program at Stonehill College funded this project.

Colleges and universities welcome new students every September. After the intense study in high school, the new university life will make the new students feel excited and embarrassed. They are about to face and meet new life, new ways of learning, new classmates and teachers, and so on. Since the new things and environment are very different from those for the new students before they entered the school, we need to pay attention to their psychological changes and promptly channel their psychological problems, otherwise it will cause a lot of psychological discomfort, and maybe it will have some negative impact on the development of various aspects of the follow-up of the new students. It can be seen that it is especially important to grasp the psychological characteristics of students who have just entered the school and to help them develop positive psychological quality, because it not only lays a solid foundation for the mental health education work of colleges and universities, but also promotes the all-round development of students.

Mental health problems are increasingly prevalent in Indonesia, but many people are still reluctant to seek professional psychological help. Religiosity is considered as one of the factors that can influence one's preference for seeking psychological help, especially in Indonesian society, specifically in the city of Semarang, Central Java, which the life of society closely related to the value of religiosity. Therefore this study aimed to see the contribution of religiosity and religious coping in influencing the search for psychological help. This research was conducted at two universities, one state university and one Islamic private university which were determined through random sampling. Data collection was carried out online and offline with the Indonesian Islamic Psychological Measure of Islamic Psychology (I-PMIR), Islamic Religious Coping Scale (RCOPE), Attitude Towards Seeking Psychological Help (ATSPH), and Mental Health Seeking Help Intentions Scale (MHSIS) and obtained a total of 731 respondents. Multiple regression analysis showed that attitude was the strongest predictor of intention to seek psychological help (B= 0,556, p<0,01), followed by religious coping (B= 0,08, p<0,01), while religiosity was not a significant predictor. Further analysis showed the unique contribution of religious coping aspects towards the intention of seeking psychological help with F (5, 725) = 8,721, p<0,01, R 0,238. There were also differences in the contribution of religiosity and religious coping to the intention of seeking psychological help based on the background of the respondent (state or private Islamic university) which discussed further in the article.

Full textAbstract:
The idea of infusing entrepreneurship into education has incited much enthusiasm in the last few decades. A myriad of effects have been stated to result from this, including economic growth, job creation, and increased societal resilience, as well as personal growth, increased school involvement, and improved equality. However, in addition to the purported favorable consequences, putting this theory into practice has presented major challenges. The study aims to improve the success rate of college students' entrepreneurship and strengthen their entrepreneurship education. First, two aspects of the current state of political and ideological education are examined: ideological education and entrepreneurship education, and ideological education and big data technology. Next, ideological education, entrepreneurship education, and big data are integrated to implement an impact index evaluation model of college students' entrepreneurship education from the perspective of the Internet under big data. Finally, based on the implemented model, seven influencing indicators of entrepreneurship education curriculum, practical education, educational equipment, educational awareness, basic ability, social ability, and data usability are obtained. Through detailed analysis experiments, it is found that three factors have the greatest impact on college students' entrepreneurship education, including basic ability, data usability, and psychological pressure resistance in the face of difficulties. The results show that the cultivation of basic entrepreneurial ability and the development of psychological quality should be enhanced in college students' entrepreneurship education, providing a definite reference base for college students' entrepreneurship education.

College presents unique opportunities and stressors that challenge psychosocial adjustment. This 4-year longitudinal study examines multiple aspects of adjustment in 5,532 college students from immediately pre-college across each of 4 academic years. Student adjustment generally worsens across the first 2 years in the domains of psychological functioning (decreased self-esteem; increased depression, anxiety, and stress), cognitive-affective strategies (decreased active emotional coping, increased avoidant emotional coping), and social adjustment (decreased social support from friends). The latter 2 years generally witness improvement, though only recovering to pre-college levels in self-esteem and active emotional coping for women, and just the latter for men. Women experience worse initial psychological functioning (more distress and lower self-esteem), though their self-esteem recovers by the end of college. Men exhibit worse friend support and active emotional coping, and a pattern of worsening avoidant emotional coping throughout college. Current findings highlight the first 2 years as an extended transition period when prevention programs may be especially needed.

Background: Capsaicin is the main active ingredient in chili peppers and spicy food. Animal studies provide contradictory results on the role of capsaicin in psychiatric disorders. There are no epidemiological studies to investigate the relationship between spicy food consumption and psychological health. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. Psychological health was assessed with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, and spicy food consumption was assessed as frequency, strength, and duration of consumption. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to determine the associations between spicy food consumption and psychological symptoms. Results: Our sample comprised 1771 participants (male = 674, mean age = 21.97 years). The odds of having depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms were 34.0%, 46.5%, and 19.1% in Chinese college students, respectively. After adjusting for a series of covariates, compared with non-consumers, the odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms across spicy food consumption were 1.13 (95% CI: 0.87– 1.46) for 1–2 days/week and 1.38 (95% CI: 1.02–1.86) for ≥3 days/week. With regard to anxiety symptoms, the ORs were 0.99 (95% CI: 0.78, 1.27) for 1–2 days/week and 1.50 (95% CI: 1.13–1.99) for ≥3 days/week. For stress symptoms, the ORs were 0.90 (95% CI: 0.66–1.23) for 1–2 days/week and 1.27 (95% CI: 0.89–1.80) for ≥3 days/week. The ORs for the depressive symptoms associated with different intensities of spicy food consumption were 1.00 (reference) for the reference group (non-consumers), 1.17 (95% CI: 0.90–1.52) for eating weakly spicy food, and 1.34 (95% CI: 1.01–1.78) for moderately to strongly spicy food. Conclusion: The findings suggested a positive association between frequently spicy food consumption and depressive/anxiety symptoms in adolescents, and no such association was found for stress symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous studies have addressed psychological aspects of students’ life during the pandemic; however, data related to the role of future time perspective and sociodemographic differences -age and gender- in the relationship with procrastination and motivation is scarce. It was hypothesized that the relationship between future time perspective and procrastination would be negative, but positive with motivation, and that age and gender would have a differential moderating effect on those. This study was online and questionnaire-based. 257 undergraduate Psychology students aged 18–44 from the Catholic Argentinean University took part in the study. The results of moderation analysis allowed accepting partially the hypothesis formulated for procrastination, but for motivation the hypothesis was partially confirmed, since the relationship between future time perspective and motivation was not significant for men or for older students. These findings provide some insight into the role of future time perspective in behavior outcomes, especially in critical contexts like one of the pandemic, and how internal differences might enhance or diminish it. Moreover, the inclusion of certain psychological measures could be taken in order to compensate negative effects that higher procrastination and lower motivation can have in students.

This study explored the use of students’ L1 (Arabic) in one of Kuwait’s public institutions—namely, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET). The purpose of this study was three-fold: (1) to look at the functions of using L1, (2) to explore any comprehensibility issues and/or academic gains, and (3) to investigate any psychological issues students face when not using L1. The study employed a two-stage data collection phase, where a total of 278 students participated in the closed-ended questionnaire and 6 students participated in the semi-structured interviews. The results showed that students attach several important aspects to the use of L1 in their L2 classrooms. Students expressed that the inclusion of Arabic eases their intake from lectures and allows them to better understand the lectures’ content. However, the findings also indicated that students object to the overreliance on Arabic and instead prefer that teachers strike a balance between L1 and L2 use to maximize their learning.

Full textAbstract:
Many emerging adults experience the death of a loved one while they are enrolled as a student in higher education. Bereavement increases the risk of long-term adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Still, as most studies have focused on psychological aspects of grief, little is known about the impact of grief on somatic complaints in students, leaving them vulnerable to health deteriorations. This study aimed to address this gap, and we hypothesized that there is a positive association between grief and somatic complaints in bereaved students. Participants (N = 688) were students enrolled at Flemish universities and colleges in Belgium. Participants filled out an online survey with sociodemographic questions, two scales assessing grief, and somatic grief reactions, and two additional questions inquiring whether participants had experienced other somatic reactions, and whether they had taken any steps to remedy their somatic complaints. Regression analyses revealed that less social support, type of relationship (first-degree relative), and the level of grief were positively associated with somatic complaints, and bereaved students reported various complaints such as feeling pain and strains, thus confirming the hypothesis. As bereaved students may be reluctant to seek support for somatic complaints, the findings indicate that information and psychoeducation for bereaved students and their social environment must address somatic grief reactions and encourage timely help seeking. In addition, staff members at psychosocial and medical services for students should be trained to recognize somatic as well as psychological grief reactions. Appropriately skilled, they can inquire about such complaints and provide adequate support to prevent long-term health ramifications.

Psychological capital refers to a state of positive energy displayed in the heart of an individual in the process of self-growth and comprehensive and healthy development. Many scholars at home and abroad have found through research that psychological capital, as a positive psychological state, plays a significant positive role in evaluating and regulating college students in many aspects, such as academic performance, interpersonal relationships, stress relief, mental health, etc. Based on this, the article aims to draw on the current relatively mature research results of psychological capital theory, and deeply and systematically analyzes and discusses these research results, so as to provide valuable conclusions for the in-depth study of psychological capital theory in the field of college education. To meet that aim, a range of general methods including, descriptive, observational , literature review analysis are utilized. Given the results, in higher education, the application of psychological capital theory is still in the initial exploration period, and it needs to be explored comprehensively and deeply to make it continuously perfect.

Full textAbstract:
Mindfulness has been robustly associated with psychological health, predicting greater well-being, and lower levels of anxiety, depression, and stress across samples. Attentional control is the ability to voluntarily shift, focus, and train one’s attention and has also been linked with better psychological functioning. Less well-understood, however, are which domains of mindfulness may be associated with particular aspects of mental health, including anxiety, and whether attentional control may help to explain the relationship between specific facets of mindfulness and anxiety. This study examined self-reported shifting and focusing attentional control as mediators of the relationships between five domains of dispositional mindfulness (i.e., observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, and nonreacting) and symptoms of anxiety. Two hundred and eighty-six college students completed self-report questionnaires measuring dispositional mindfulness, attentional control, and symptoms of anxiety. Using mediation analyses, findings revealed an indirect effect of two facets of mindfulness on anxiety through focusing attentional control after controlling for shifting attentional control. These findings suggest that specific mindfulness skills are related to better attentional control skills, and that focusing attentional control may then protect against anxiety symptoms in college students. These results have critical implications for college students, who are experiencing anxiety and stress at increasing levels.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives Weight loss supplements (WLS) are commonly used among college students. Although these supplements work through different mechanisms, many of them are sympathomimetic that may impact mental wellbeing. College students are inherently at risk of mental distress; therefore, use of these stimulants may exacerbate their response to stress and increase their risk of anxiety and depression. The purpose of the present study was to assess the pattern of use and perception of WLS among college students, and its association with reported mental distress symptoms. Methods Data were collected through an online questionnaire targeting US college students through social media platforms. A parallel study took place at an institution of higher education in Lebanon, a Middle Eastern country where college students commonly use WLS. The questionnaire included demographic questions such as gender, age, self-reported height and weight, hours of sleep, frequency of exercise, class, major and GPA. It also included questions on frequency of dieting, weight loss supplement use, perception, and symptoms associated with use. Results A total of 583 college students completed the survey. Random Forest Analysis produced a model of 0.98% accuracy with AUC = 0.993, which classified weight loss supplements as the most significant factor associated with mood changes in college students followed by academic class, exercise, GPA, gender, sleep, age and major. To confirm the directionality of these associations, a logistic regression analysis suggested that WLS strongly associated with symptoms of mood changes, followed by a low GPA and being a female. Conversely, upperclassmen, good sleep quality, being 23 years or older, and non- science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors inversely correlated with mood changes. A principal component analysis suggested a pattern for frequent dieting, weight loss supplement use and heavy exercise among men, and a pattern of frequent dieting, combining WLS, low quality sleep and no exercise among women. Conclusions Use of WLS among college students may be worsening their psychological status. In addition, there is a differential pattern of use among men and women that is worth further investigation.

Studies have shown increased levels of distress during the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, and college students are becoming more recognized as a vulnerable population. This narrative systematic review aims to synthesize the current understanding of mental health, lifestyle, and socioeconomic impacts that the pandemic had on college students in the United States. A search was conducted on PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science. A total of 34 observational studies were included which examined aspects of college students’ health and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. A great deal of students was shown to experience a moderate level of stress and subsyndromal depression and anxiety in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several risk and protective factors have been characterized. Students experienced various academic, financial, and housing disruptions. Studies have highlighted the need for institutional support to reduce the adverse psychological impact of the pandemic. There is a need for further large-scale research to assess the scope of COVID-19-related biopsychosocial impact, especially in vulnerable populations such as racial/ethnic and sexual/gender minorities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced many aspects of life and wellbeing. Eating behaviors and food habits among college students—many leaving campus and returning home mid-semester—were of particular interest for this qualitative study. Reflections from 33 students across 3 courses were analyzed using content analysis. Five major themes emerged from the data: diet changes, minimizing risk, responsibility, silver linings, and food and nutrition knowledge and skills. Several opportunities for family and consumer sciences (FCS) educators and professionals exist to help individuals and families through COVID-19 or to promote FCS classes on college campuses.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an overall increase in stress and depression in society. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the psychological condition of college students during the COVID-19 pandemic and explore factors influencing their daily functioning. The study focused on four main aspects such as mental well-being, sexuality, concern about financial status, and trust in medical authorities. The study was based on a specially designed survey. The questionnaire was created using Google Forms and shared on social media sites. A total of 630 students participated in the survey, 17 surveys were excluded due to incomplete data and 613 surveys (97.30%) were considered for the final analysis. During isolation, 68.0% of students experienced fear of missing out (FOMO). A total of 73.4% were frustrated due to spending a lot of time in front of a computer. A significant decrease in motivation to study was reported by 78.1% of the respondents. Students showed significantly different attitudes towards sexuality. Concern about the financial situation was reported by 48.7% of respondents. The state of the Polish economy was of concern to 86.4% of respondents. A total of 74.5% of students declared concern about their career development. During the pandemic, 59.0% of respondents became concerned about their health. The attitude towards vaccination was described as positive by 82.5% of the respondents. The percentage of respondents experiencing negative psychological effects relative to the overall epidemiological situation of COVID-19 is troubling. Given the unexpected length and severity of the pandemic, we suggest that students’ concerns be more thoroughly understood and addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Sexting using internet-enabled mobile phones is increasingly becoming central to college students’ communication. Understanding prevalence rates and psychological predictors in an understudied population in sub-Saharan Africa therefore warrants concern. This survey study sought to examine (a) sexting prevalence rates; (b) impulsivity traits and sexting; and (c) whether emotions moderate the relationship between impulsivity traits and sexting among college students. Data from undergraduate students (N = 464; M(SD) age = 22.84 (.91); 50.4% female) were collected using a questionnaire measuring impulsivity, emotions and engagement in sexting and analysed using descriptive statistics, t-tests and regression analysis. Moderation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results show that sexting was reported by over half the sample and men were significantly more likely to send and respond to sexts. Lack of premeditation predicted sending but not responding; positive urgency predicted responding but not sending; and sensation seeking predicted both aspects of sexting. Desire, fear and happiness moderated the relationship between impulsivity traits and sexting. Findings suggest that under specific heightened emotions, individuals with impulsivity traits are more likely to engage in sexting.

People faced numerous challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and their lives were changed, particularly those of the students. Mental health is a state of well-being in which individuals can cope with the normal adversities in life (WHO, 2004). Good mental health is crucial for students as it could lead to satisfactory academic performance. This study aimed to assess the mental health status of the University of Bohol College of Nursing Students. It delved into the demographic profile and the mental health of the respondents in terms of psychological, physical, and emotional aspects; and looked into the correlation/association between the respondents’ profile and mental health status. It utilized the quantitative, descriptive-correlational research design aided with a modified questionnaire adapted from an article entitled “Here to Help, Body Image, Self-Esteem, and Mental Health” by the Canadian Mental Health Association. Two hundred randomly selected nursing students from the University of Bohol who were enrolled in the 2nd Semester, SY 2021- 2021 were included in the study. Results revealed that respondents have good mental health in terms of psychological, physical, and emotional aspects. When data were subjected to Spearman’s rank test of correlation and chi-square test of association, results revealed that age is significantly correlated to mental health and that the gender and year level has no significant association to mental health.

Abstract Background the popularity of mobile phones not only brings convenience, but also brings dependence on mobile phones. This dependence is more obvious among college students who lack self-control and unsupervised. This paper studies and analyzes the physiological and psychological characteristics of mobile phone dependence from three aspects: mobile phone use time, browsing content and browsing repetition rate, and obtains the consequences of mobile phone dependence. Mobile phone addiction has brought a series of physical and mental reactions to college students, affecting their physical and mental health. Based on this, this paper starts with analyzing the manifestations of mobile phone addiction, and studies the causes of mobile phone addiction and the effects of anxiety and depression from the perspective of medical psychology. Subjects and Methods Based on the limitations of the survey objects, the undergraduates in this paper only refer to the students of four-year applied research and applied undergraduate colleges. According to the subject type, undergraduates from grades 1 to 4 were selected for real-time observation and questionnaire survey to obtain sample data. Because the data obtained by different methods are very different, the second survey was conducted, and the data results are consistent. Therefore, the measurement results are weighted and summarized, and the real-time observation data is used as the basis of follow-up research. Study the correlation analysis of mobile phone dependence from the perspective of emotion regulation. In order to investigate the relationship between mobile phone addiction and emotion regulation ability, this study used the mental health locus of control scale to measure it. MHLC measures people's evaluation of the treatment effect from two poles. One pole reflects the view that mobile phone addiction should be responsible for the curative effect, that is, internal control, and the other pole reflects the role of the healer, that is, external control. MHLC is a self-assessment scale with 22 items and 6 insertion questions (no score). The original version included 61 items, which were tested in the group and simplified into the current scale through statistical processing. The scale is scored on a 6-point scale. 6 points represent the most external control and 1 point represents extreme internal control. In this way, the score range of the scale is between 22 (extreme internal control) and 132 (extreme external control). Results the research shows that the main causes of group mobile phone addiction are external behavior and internal psychological disorder, but the causes of the two are the same, which come from material inducement, physiological inducement, psychological inducement and emotional inducement respectively. Among them, material inducement shows obvious external characteristics, physiological inducement and emotional disorder inducement show pathological characteristics, and psychological inducement shows internal characteristics. Based on the above analysis of mobile phone addiction, the higher education system needs physiological and psychological intervention. From the test results of the subjects, the test-retest reliability of a = 0.840 has not been reported. It showed that MHLC had little relationship with Rotter's I-E scale, but had a certain correlation with mental health origin scale (r = 0.40, P < 0.001). Further research suggests that gender and socio-economic status also have a certain impact on the score of this scale. Aggregation validity study shows that MHLC has high correlation with lenenson's I, P and C scales. Social expectation scale only has a certain correlation with CHLC subscale, r = -0.24, and has little relationship with IHLC and phlc. It shows that the test can show a good prediction potential of mobile phone addiction. However, so far, there is a lack of data on the validity of the scale, especially in those who are receiving treatment. At the same time, there is also a lack of reports on the comparison between the scale and other locus of control scales. Comparing the scale with special psychotherapy will be a very interesting research work. Conclusion through the analysis of inducements, the basic way to solve mobile phone addiction is obtained, that is, effective intervention is needed from both physiological and psychological aspects. Due to the particularity of the research object and research path, the research results have not been effectively tested. In addition, the social maladjustment of group mobile phone addiction is limited to the analysis of primary phenomena, and the research is not deep enough. From the perspective of medical psychology, according to the behavior and psychological performance of group mobile phone addiction, this study observed the pathological changes caused by it, explained the physiological trigger mechanism of mobile phone addiction, and put forward the countermeasures to solve mobile phone addiction. The above physical and psychological pressure will play a positive role in the correction of group physical and mental health in the future.
