Awareness of attention, especially mind-wandering, is more prominent nowadays because of the development of technology that empowers a person to do several jobs and focus on several things simultaneously. This study examines internet-related behavior, namely online fear of missing out and compulsive internet use on mind wandering on active internet users. This study involved 327 internet users aged 17-40 years selected by convenience sampling. This research confirms that fear of missing out and compulsive internet use positively correlate with mind wandering. Furthermore, mind wandering and fear of missing are contrarily related with age.This study explicates that the contribution of internet-related behavior is significant to the incidence of mind wandering, which proves the influence of internet use on inattention, especially in young internet active users. Therefore, the younger generation must be cognizant of and monitor the use and impact of internet use, especially concerning the necessity to maintain focus when handling task demands. This study proposes addressing the adverse consequence of FOMO, compulsive internet use, and mind-wandering on productivity and wellbeing further, notably for the young age.
Internet users have various purposes or motives for using internet service. Furthermore, internet usage proliferated by 40 percent amidst the COVID-19 pandemic social confinements. Interestingly, there is a tendency to do activities with the internet when under load or overload circumstance. This study aims to look at these two contradictory conditions and determine whether when someone is in a state of the tendency to be bored or depressed due to stressful conditions becomes a predictor for using the internet maladaptively. This study uses a quantitative approach with an accidental sampling technique. We recruited 235 internet users from adolescents to middle adulthood. The result showed boredom proneness and frustration intolerance predicted 34.4% of internet users' compulsive internet use. This study also showed a more significant impact of boredom to compulsive internet use rather than frustration intolerance. These findings indicate that people tend to use the internet more frequently in under load than overload conditions.
University students have a higher vulnerability to experience various mental health problems, therefore attitudes about mental health services are an important component in supporting campus efforts to support students' mental health. This study aims to describe university student attitudes regarding mental health services. The research participants were 998 university students in Sumatera and Java. The measuring instrument used is the Mental Health Help Seeking Attitude Scale (MHSAS). Data analysis showed that 91% of students showed positive attitude towards mental health services and 14% showed a negative attitude. This finding has implications for universities management to further improve literacy related to student mental health services as an effort to prevent mental health problems.
College students are in the period of transition from adolescence to adulthood. This transition period can bring some obstacles for them, for example, disruption in sleeping pattern. According to Tsai & Li (2004), emerging adults usually have sleep deprivation. Another recent study found that college-age teens or emerging adults do have changes in sleep patterns (Lund, Reider, Whiting, & Prichard, 2010). Those emerging adults tend to stay up late and then delay waking up-time. Based on the initial interview, many students complaint that sleep later affects their academic performance, for instance, being late to the class; daytime sleepiness; and difficulties in paying attention in the class. Thus, we would like to examine the relationship between the duration of sleep with sleep quality. The result shows that there was a significant and negative correlation between sleep duration and sleep quality, which means that the sleep quality was slightly determine by how long someone sleeps. Besides, only 5% of the respondents are not using their gadget before bed. The use of gadget affects sleep difficulties and lead to poor sleep quality. Thus, the result of this research will be used as our initial data to study further
The Pandemic of Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) has a significant impact on various sectors of life, including the education sector.The learning process, which was initially carried out in person or face-to-face, is now carried out online.This virtual learning implementation has a negative impact on students' psychology, one of which is the burnout study.Several research results show that many students have difficulty understanding the material provided online, the task demands are high, and cannot interact directly with friends and lecturers.Furthermore, this increases the burnout of the study in students and causes the lecture process to be not optimal.Burnout study is a condition in which an individual feels physically and emotionally exhausted, causing boredom in learning, indifference to academic assignments, lack of motivation, laziness, and decreased learning achievement.Current research uses literature review by looking for theoretical references that are relevant to the problems found.
