“…Contrary to our hypothesis, the present study noted that resilience did not play a role in reducing the negative effect of stress on alcohol misuse. While alcohol misuse can be a consequence of stress [ 14 ], resilience did not moderate the relationship between perceived stress and alcohol misuse, which could be attributed to the lower alcohol misuse among the student cohort in the present study during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to previous studies [ 36 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ]. In the present study, most students reported either reduced or no change in alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the already high levels of stress that higher education students experience. Stress influences health behaviors, including those related to dietary behaviors, alcohol, and sleep; yet the effects of stress can be mitigated by resilience. To date, past research studying the connections between dietary behaviors, alcohol misuse, sleep, and resilience commonly investigated singular relationships between two of the constructs. The aim of the current study was to explore the relationships between these constructs in a more holistic manner using mediation and moderation analyses. Methods: Higher education students from China, Ireland, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and the United States were enrolled in a cross-sectional study from April to May 2020, which was during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic for most participants. An online survey, using validated tools, was distributed to assess perceived stress, dietary behaviors, alcohol misuse, sleep quality and duration, and resilience. Results: 2254 students completed the study. Results indicated that sleep quality mediated the relationship between perceived stress and dietary behaviors as well as the relationship between perceived stress and alcohol misuse. Further, increased resilience reduced the strength of the relationship between perceived stress and dietary behaviors but not alcohol misuse. Conclusion: Based on these results, higher education students are likely to benefit from sleep education and resilience training, especially during stressful events.

“…One of the issues that need attention to internet addiction can also be considered as sensation seeking. In the literature, studies on sensation seeking and Internet addiction were mostly conducted with university students (Dalbudak et al, 2015;Jang, Sohn, & Yu, 2018). Sensation seeking theory first performed by Martin Zuckerman in 1979, is associated with the individual's bravery or research motivation in new stimuli in generally unfamiliar situations Zuckerman (1994), described sensation seeking as a variety of new, diverse, complex and high levels of excitement to seek and experience, but also to face up to the economic, physical, societal, legimate and risks for the sake of these experiences.…”

This study aimed to examine the university student’s internet addiction, perceived freedom in leisure, leisure boredom, and sensation seeking level with regard to gender and physical activity participation, and to investigate the relationship between internet addiction, perceived freedom in leisure, leisure boredom and sensation seeking. The participants who were chosen using a convenience sampling method filled the “Short Form of Young’s Internet Addiction Test” (YIAT-SF), Perceived Freedom in Leisure Scale (PFLS), “Leisure Boredom Scale (LBS), and “Sensation Seeking Scale” (SSS). T-test, MANOVA, ANOVA and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. T-test results indicated there were no significant differences in the mean scores of “YIAT-SF” with respect to gender (p> 0.05). However, analysis revealed significant differences in the mean scores of “YIAT-SF” with regard to not regularly physical activity participation. There were significant differences in the mean scores of “PFLS” in favor of men participants and regularly physical activity participants (p<0.05). Gender and regularly physical activity participation were significant of "LBS” (p<0.01) in favor of women participants (p<0.05). Similarly, gender were significant of “SSS” (p<0.01) on the all sub-dimensions in favor of men participants (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the mean scores of regularly physical activity participation.

“…Past studies also identified similar findings suggesting that income alone does not adequately explain the observed differences in health care access among Asian Americans (Dhingra et al, 2010). In general, human capital resources, including education and income and health care access, seem to enable individuals to have a broad range of the sources and be actively engaged in information-seeking behaviors (Jang et al, 2018). However, the results from our multivariate models did not support the independent associations of SES factors and health care access.…”

“…Therefore, our results may be conservative, given that language incompetency is a barrier to USC (Yang et al, 2020). The study that used Asian-language versions of the questionnaire can offer an optimal opportunity to reflect the target Asians' linguistic and cultural diversities (Jang et al, 2018). It is equally important to consider previous literature that talks about the measurement of language skills which would be reliable and valid scales but was rarely done due to lack of feasible, standardized assessment tools (Shi et al, 2009).…”

Asian Americans are the fastest-growing ethnic minority population in the United States. Among this group, Chinese-, Filipino-, and Asian Indian Americans are the most three largest Asian American subgroups. Yet, health-related research on the growing Asian American population at the subgroup level remains limited. To date, studies have focused on aggregating all Asians into a single category. The current study sought to examine psychological distress, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, and health care access among the three most populous subgroups of Asian Americans. In Study 1, we focus on psychological distress. In Study 2, we focus on current cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption. Finally, we focus on the usual source of health care among these three subgroups in Study 3. We use the pooled National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data (2011-2015) for our statistical analyses. Participants are self-identified Asian American adults who completed the Sample Adult Component questionnaires of the survey. NHIS provides information on adults' psychological distress, current smoking and alcohol consumption, and health care access. We run a series of multivariate regression models to examine key factors associated with psychological distress, health risk behaviors, and usual source of care. The results of this dissertation highlight the importance of disaggregated data analysis when examining factors related to psychological distress, current cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, and having a usual source of care. We showed that there were significant health disparities remain in psychological distress, health-risk behaviors, and usual source of care across Asian American subgroups. Marked differences in health outcomes indicate the underlying significance of different predictors and draw the attention of policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to address the existing health disparities. Once policymakers understand the disproportionate health outcomes, they have the opportunity to formulate policies and legislation that will more accurately represent the experiences of specific Asian American subgroups so that targeted public services can be more productive.
