“…Second, to answer research question 2 on the effects of aggression and self-control on maladaptive game use and life satisfaction, the results of this study coincided with those of previous studies, including related studies. Hypothesis 3 states that children's self-control decreases their maladaptive game use [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] and increases their life satisfaction [58][59][60][61]. On the contrary, Hypothesis 4 states that children's aggression increases their maladaptive game use [67,[69][70][71][72] and decreases their life satisfaction [74][75][76][77][78].…”

“…Predictors of problematic behavior such as hyperactivity and delinquency are heavily focused on self-control [46]. Studies demonstrated that high self-control strengthens the prevention of addiction problems such as drugs, alcohol, and smoking [47][48][49][50] and facilitates decision making, emotional control, and impulse resistance related to addiction issues [51,52]. Individuals with high self-control succeed in controlling their desire and determination to commit problematic behavior, whereas individuals with low self-control are more susceptible to problematic behaviors such as violent crimes by failing to overcome their impulses and temptations [53,54].…”

Adolescent aggression manifests in problematic game use and ultimately undermines life quality. This study deals with the mechanisms behind adolescents' perception of parenting, maladaptive game use, self-control, and life satisfaction within the context of integrated supportive-positive parenting and harsh-negative parenting. Using 778 valid panel data from the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), we reached the conclusions that both supportive-positive parenting and harsh-negative parenting, mediated by self-control and maladaptive game use, are major predictors of adolescents' life satisfaction. PLS-SEM analysis was used for the hypothesized model test. This study helped bridge the gap in existing research by finding clues to recovering parent–child relationships from the side effects of youth game use.

“…[29–31] This social patterning of higher tobacco use amongst individuals of lower socioeconomic position may be related to lower locus of control leading to higher initiation and consumption rates, and lower cessation rates due, at least in part, to lower affordability for tobacco cessation treatment. [32,33] A deeper understanding of this social patterning can help develop targeted tobacco control efforts in India’s resource-constrained health system.…”

Association between socioeconomic position and cardiovascular disease risk factors in rural north India: The Solan Surveillance Study

et al. 2019

Background Although most Indians live in rural settings, data on cardiovascular disease risk factors in these groups are limited. We describe the association between socioeconomic position and cardiovascular disease risk factors in a large rural population in north India. Methods We performed representative, community-based sampling from 2013 to 2014 of Solan district in Himachal Pradesh. We used education, occupation, household income, and household assets as indicators of socioeconomic position. We used tobacco use, alcohol use, low physical activity, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes as risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We performed hierarchical multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex and clustering of the health sub-centers, to evaluate the cross-sectional association of socioeconomic position indicators and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Results Among 38,457 participants, mean (SD) age was 42.7 (15.9) years, and 57% were women. The odds of tobacco use was lowest in participants with graduate school and above education (adjusted OR 0.11, 95% CI 0.09, 0.13), household income >15,000 INR (adjusted OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.29, 0.43), and highest quartile of assets (adjusted OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.24, 0.34) compared with other groups but not occupation (skilled worker adjusted OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.74, 1.16). Alcohol use was lower among individuals in the higher quartile of income (adjusted OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.64, 0.88) and assets (adjusted OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.82). The odds of obesity was highest in participants with graduate school and above education (adjusted OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.85, 2.94), household income > 15,000 Indian rupees (adjusted OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.63, 2.19), and highest quartile of household assets (adjusted OR 2.87, 95% CI 2.39, 3.45). The odds of prevalent hypertension and diabetes were also generally higher among individuals with higher socioeconomic position. Conclusions Individuals with lower socioeconomic position in Himachal Pradesh were more likely to have abnormal behavioral risk factors, and individuals with higher socioeconomic position were more likely to have abnormal clinical risk factors.

“…These findings suggest that individuals, who use tobacco feel less in control of their lives, believing that chance/destiny plays a larger role in their health.In addition, the dimension of 'Powerful others' presented no significant difference between the two groups. Beliefs about control over health outcomes are among the most important motivational factors [25,26,27]. This could possibly explain better oral health related behavior among non-tobacco users, they having more internal health locus of control and also the reason for not taking up tobacco habit [26].…”

Purpose: The concept of health locus of control is important because of its relation with health attitudes, behavior and coping styles. This study was done to compare the locus of control orientation and oral health status of tobacco users with that of non-tobacco users. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on rural population in southern Indian state. All the participants were interviewed to gather data on their socio-demographic correlates, oral health related behavior and health locus of control with the help of a pre-tested questionnaire. Clinical examination was done using WHO oral health assessment form (1997).Main outcome measures were Locus of Control, Oral Health (dental caries status and periodontal status). Results: Tobacco users were found to score lower on the dimension of Internality and higher on the Chance dimension compared to non-tobacco users. The prevalence and severity of periodontal disease was significantly higher in tobacco users than non-tobacco users irrespective of age and socioeconomic strata. Conclusion: It was also concluded that non-tobacco users had internal orientation to health locus of control thereby being important behavioral factor controlling health in this group.Findings also demonstrated significant association between tobacco usage and adverse periodontal health.
