“…The Cochran technique was used to discover an ideal sample size given the probability of picking a choice, desired confidence level, and the allowed percentage of error in the population. It is particularly effective in circumstances involving large populations and so the following equation was used to compute the sample size (Kamruzzaman et al 2021 ; Borg et al 2022 ; Hossain and Munam 2022 ). Here, n = number of samples, z = 1.96 (95% confidence level), p = the probability of picking a choice = 50% or 0.5 (for highly dispersed populations), q = (1 − p), d = allowed error percentage = 3.272% or 0.03272.…”

“…A cross-sectional bivariate and multivariate analysis were employed to check the significant factors affecting the academic performance of private university students in Bangladesh. At 1, 5, 10, and 15% levels of significance, the Chi-square test was employed to evaluate the bivariate relationship (Kamruzzaman et al 2021 ; Sarwar et al 2019 ; Hossain and Munam 2022 ). The linear regression analysis has recently been examined in a variety of sectors, including public health, economics, finance, business, environmental science, social sciences, and others (Hossain et al 2012 , 2015a , b , c , 2016 ; Rahman et al 2016 ; Hossain et al 2017a , b ; Tasnim et al 2019 ).…”

Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) methods were used in this study due to the categorical character of the dependent variables (Hossain et al 2019 ; Kamruzzaman et al 2021 ; Hossain and Munam 2022 ). For MLR analysis, current university CGPA was considered as the dependent variable, and other variables like social, academic, demographic, and economic variables were considered as the factors.…”

Education is considered the most significant factor in producing human resource developments in terms of social, cultural, technological, economic, and overall national perspectives. Higher education is influenced by several factors that affect the quality of students’ education and outcomes. Most students in Bangladesh study at private universities from various socioeconomic conditions. Some of the factors have restricted their ability to attain higher education and as a result, impacted their academic performance. The goal of this study was to explore those socioeconomic factors affecting the academic performance of private university students in Bangladesh. The primary dataset was collected through an online survey from three private universities in Bangladesh named Varendra University (VU), Daffodil International University (DIU), and City University (CU). The Chi-square tests indicate that the age, gender, studying on a subject of their own choice, getting the right direction to make studying comfortable, consulting with the teacher about learning, family status, etc. variables significantly impacted their cumulative grade point average (CGPA). Relationships with parents and the opportunity to share opinions with parents were also significantly associated with their results. According to the multinomial logistic regression model age, gender, employment status, choice of own study field, getting the right direction, previous academic result, consultation with teachers, father's annual income, family status, and relationship with parents are found to be statistically significant determinants of academic performance. Considering the reality and outcomes of this study, to improve academic performance, parental involvement needs to be increased, and they must provide financial and material support to their offspring for their academic success. Moreover, for achieving a satisfactory CGPA, the students need to build friendly relationships with their parents and have regular consultations with their teachers as well.

In addition, the study examined the impact of life satisfaction on psychological well-being. Moreover, the study investigates the impact of social safeness in moderating the relationship between HFU and life satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative survey design, using a sample of 261 Generation Y students based in Mthatha, in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Scales for data collection were operationalized from prior studies. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe study’s results disclosed that HFU positively and significantly impacts life satisfaction and psychological well-being. In addition, life satisfaction positively and significantly impacted psychological well-being. Moreover, the results showed that social safeness had a positive and significant moderating effect on the nexus between HFU and life satisfaction.Originality/valueThis study contributes to understanding HFU as a precursor to life satisfaction and psychological well-being among Generation Y students. Also, evaluating the moderating effect of social safeness contributes to a more thorough understanding of the link between HFU and life satisfaction.

The findings suggest user's addiction behaviour is related to the following four categories: WeChat friendship/relationship addiction, WeChat activity addiction, WeChat information addiction, and miscellaneous WeChat addiction. As a conclusion, users' with Present Fatalistic orientations and Present Hedonistic orientations tend to have WeChat addiction behaviour and they are more likely to have WeChat friendship/relationship addiction and WeChat information addiction.
