“…The results of latent profile analysis show that there is group heterogeneity in the psychological capital of kindergarten teachers, which is consistent with previous research findings ( Bouckenooghe et al, 2019 ; Ferradás et al, 2019 ; Chen et al, 2021 ; Zhu et al, 2021 ). This study found that psychological capital could be divided into three types: “rich type,” “medium type,” and “poor type.” But previous studies such as Ferradás et al (2019) classified psychological capital into seven categories, Bouckenooghe et al (2019) divided psychological capital into six categories, and Chen et al (2021) classified psychological capital into four categories.…”

“…However, early research optioned clerical staff employed in different occupational sectors ( Bouckenooghe et al, 2019 ), rural left-behind children ( Zhu et al, 2021 ), college students ( Chen et al, 2021 ), or teachers worked in different educational stages ( Ferradás et al, 2019 ); Second, different studies used different measurement tools. Early studies mostly used Psychological Capital Questionnaire including efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience four factors (PCQ-24, Luthans et al, 2007a , b ; Bouckenooghe et al, 2019 ; Chen et al, 2021 ) or a questionnaire that was adjusted by PCQ-24 according to the needs of research ( Ferradás et al, 2019 ; Zhu et al, 2021 ). This study used the Chinese Indigenous Psychological Capital Scale ( Ke et al, 2009 ) which had 40 items and two dimensions measuring task-oriented and interpersonal-oriented psychological capital.…”

“…At present, there have been some studies to explore the potential profiles of psychological capital. But most of these studies have not taken preschool teachers as the research object, such as Bouckenooghe et al (2019) focused on clerical staff, Zhu et al (2021) rural left-behind children, and Chen et al (2021) examined college students. And most of these studies were conducted in the western cultural background, without considering the situation of psychological capital under the cultural background of China.…”

Although the importance of psychological capital has been firmly supported by prior studies, the question of whether certain subgroups exist and how these various subgroups affect work engagement differentially remains under-explored. To gain an in-depth understanding of this problem, the present study conducted a person-centered method (latent profile analysis) to identify subgroups and then explore the relationship between psychological capital subgroups and work engagement. The study participants were kindergarten teachers in China (n = 2,790). The results showed that psychological capital was divided into three latent profiles: “rich type” (43.2% of the sample) “medium type” (46.3%), and “poor type” (10.5%). Compared to the other two types, the teachers with high psychological capital returned higher work engagement scores. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference among the three identified profiles regarding the location of the kindergarten, the type of kindergarten, and the teaching experience. The group owning more psychological capital tended to have more teaching experience, come from a developed area, and work in a public kindergarten. And after controlling the influence of the type of kindergarten, the location of kindergarten, and the teaching experience, the psychological capital of kindergarten teachers was still an important factor that affected teachers’ work engagement.

“…Considering the well-documented detrimental consequences (e.g., depression) of such parenting, Internet use, especially leisure-related use, may play a role in preventing these children from severe maladaptive behaviors. But caution is also needed, emotional reliance on Internet may increase the occurrence of Internet addiction or other risky online behaviors, leading to adverse impacts on youth’s psychosocial development (Chen et al, 2021 ). Another notable finding pertaining to general parenting style is that, none of these parenting profiles is related to learning-related Internet use.…”

Internet use can be distinguished into different uses (e.g., leisure-related, learning-related), yet comprehensive studies on how different uses are associated with everyday parenting situations are still lacking. This study attempts to locate parental mediation within broader family contexts and simultaneously considers the relationships among general parenting style, media-specific parenting practices, and adolescents’ amount and types of Internet use. Building on survey data collected from 1284 middle school students in China (mean age = 13, SD = 0.79, 48.60% girls), the Latent Profile Analysis identified three child-perceived profiles of general parenting style: slight-engaged , supportive , and rejecting-controller . The subsequent regressions suggested that adolescents with supportive parents reported lower levels of time spent online as well as leisure-related use; more restrictive parental mediation was associated with reduced leisure-related use while more active mediation was associated with more learning-related use. Notably, associations between parental use of active mediation and youth’s amount of Internet use and leisure-related use varied based on parenting style profiles. Only for the supportive parenting profile, more use of active mediation was associated with decreased amount of Internet use as well as leisure-related use. These findings have implications on how parents can be more effective in guiding youth’s Internet use.

“…İnternet Bağımlılığı (İB) kavramı ilk olarak 1996 yılında davranışsal bir bağımlılık olarak kullanıldı, ancak aşırı internet kullanımının çeşitliliği ve bu aşırılıkların farklı etiyolojileri ve klinik belirtileri temsil ettiği düşünüldüğünden araştırmalar internet kullanımlarının içeriği üzerinde farklılaştı (2,3). İB, internette oyun ve kumar oynama, sosyal medya kullanımı, video yayını gibi çeşitli biçimlerde farklılaşan geniş bir kavram olarak kabul edildi (4). Bu arada, birçok araştırma, davranışsal bağımlılıkların da davranış üzerinde aşırı meşguliyet, ruh halini düzeltme (zorlayıcı duygusal yaşantıları hafifletmek / azaltmak için davranışta bulunma), tolerans, yoksunluk belirtileri, çatışmalar ve depreşme gibi geleneksel bağımlılık kriterleri ile karakterize edildiğini, geleneksel bağımlılıklarla benzer görüntüleme bulgularına sahip olduğunu vurguladı (5,6).…”

OBJECTIVE: While Internet use makes life easier in many areas, the negative consequences associated with excessive and frequent Internet use increases. Meanwhile, research on the negative psychosocial consequences of frequent and uncontrolled use of social media, which constitutes most of the time spent on the Internet, also draws attention. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Internet Addiction (IA), Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU), depression, anxiety, and sociodemographic characteristics in a cross-sectional student population.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 196 Medical Faculty students (62.2% female, mean age 21.33 ± 1.92 y) who completed the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMDS), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) participated in our study.RESULTS: The results showed that %26.5 participants had moderate IA and PSMU scores (OR: 1.276, %95 CI: 1.187-1.372) and lack of regular sportive activity (OR: 3.003, %95 CI: 1.107-8.144) were risk factors for IA. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that IA was predicted independently by PSMU scores (%49 variances) and anxiety (%6 variances).CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study showed that excessive use of social media and anxiety were significantly associated with IA in young adults. In addition to the contribution of regular sports habits to physical health, better clarification of its relationship with important psychiatric problems such as anxiety and addiction may contribute to addiction prevention programs.
