“…In this research, it was also observed that a lower self-perception of PF by adolescents was related to a higher BMI for most of the self-reported physical abilities. This inverse association between PF and overweight in adolescents [ 34 , 36 ] with the level of PA has been observed in several studies where the higher the weight, the lower the level of PA in adolescents [ 30 , 64 , 65 ]. Therefore, the departments of education should advocate the fight against sedentary lifestyles and overweight among students, supporting educational plans that involve active methodologies, from the point of view of PA.…”

“…In this regard, several studies report that adolescents from rural populations report higher health-related quality of life, higher sleep quality and greater psychological well-being related to school environment and autonomy. These data may be related to the greater likelihood of urban adolescents to be influenced by physical factors such as pollution, less access to nature, high population density, and social factors such as fast-paced life and stress [ 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ].…”

Adolescence is a stage of crucial physiological and psychological changes within the individual’s life cycle, where fitness work is important. With self-perception being crucial in relation to adolescent health and well-being, a positive perception of fitness is directly related to increased practice or higher level of physical activity (PA). Thus, the aims were: (1) to analyze, with the Visual Analogue Fitness Perception Scale for Adolescents (FP VAS A), the self-perceived physical fitness (PF) of high school students, (2) to investigate if there are differences according to sex and school location, and (3) to study the correlations between the items of the FP VAS A with age and body mass index (BMI). For this purpose, a cross-sectional study was designed with a total of 961 participants, 48.8% boys and 51.2% girls in secondary education, where 31.9% studied in rural schools and 68.1% in urban schools. The FP VAS A scale was used to assess self-reported PF. Regarding the results, there were statistically significant differences between sexes (p < 0.001), with boys showing higher scores than girls in all the items of the FP VAS A scale, with the exception of global flexibility. Inverse, mean and significant correlations were established between BMI and self-perceived overall PF (r = −0.202; p < 0.001), cardiorespiratory endurance (r = −0.226; p < 0.001) and movement speed (r = −0.268; p < 0.001). Between age and self-perceived cardiorespiratory endurance (r = −0.138; p < 0.001) an inverse, mean and significant correlation was also observed. In conclusion, boys showed a better self-perception of PF than girls for all physical abilities, with the exception of flexibility. School location was not shown to influence students’ self-perceived PF. In addition, most of the self-perceived PF abilities for overall fitness correlated inversely with BMI.

“…For example, in females, the food safety label moderated the effect of risk perception on perceived quality, while in males this effect was not significant [ 26 ]. Regarding the living context, rural and urban contexts may bring some differences in lifestyles and food behaviors [ 27 ], that in the specific case of Italian territory may translate into a different familiarity towards some product/process of production (for example honey) which may have been perceived it as safer, since it is known that the familiarity has an effect on the risk and benefit perception [ 28 ]. Despite the complexity of reasons that push people towards a vegetarian [ 29 ] or vegan diet [ 30 ], people adherent to both diets have generally a higher rejection of animal-based products.…”

The concept of food safety is still underexplored among consumers, especially in relationship with the perception of food technology. Through an online survey (n = 489), this study explored: I, how perceived safety is related to products obtained with different technological treatments and described with different commercial information; II, the role of food technology neophobia (FTN) in consumers’ safety perception of animal food products. The technological transformation and commercial information significantly affected the perceived safety in all product categories. Milk and eggs were associated with a high number of perceived hazards (with similar patterns), while honey to the lowest. The certification ‘organic’ positively affected the safety perception of eggs and honey. With the increase of the distance in product origin (local/regional vs. Extra-European) the perceived safety consistently decreased. FTN affected the perceived safety of milk and eggs, depending on the degree of familiarity with the technologies of production. Highly FT neophobic people are perceived as less safe than low FT neophobic people with few familiar products with a higher technological degree of transformation. Results expand the knowledge in people’s attitude towards animal products, particularly considering the technology perception. The outputs may interest policy-makers and food companies, in rethinking the communication strategy concerning food safety.

“…Adolescence is a key stage in individual development. At this time there are many physical, psychological, and social changes that must be adapted by children to reach maturity (Boraita et al, 2022). According to (Sawyer et al, 2018) adolescence is defined as the phase of life that stretches between childhood and adulthood which includes elements of biological growth and transitions of major social roles.…”

Introduction: The application of the concept of self-regulation that has an impact on the psychological well-being of adolescent social media users as self-regulation in a core aspect of human functioning that helps facilitate the successful pursuit of personal goals and adaptability to changes in the environment. This literature aims to determine the study of the psychological well-being philosophy of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation.Methods: This literature study was conducted through a search for scientific publications ranging from 2018-2022. The databases used are PubMed, Science Direct, and ProQuest. The literature search was carried out according to topics with four groups of keywords based on Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) and combined with Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT, keywords Self-regulation AND mental wellbeing AND social media AND adolescence.Results: A study of the psychological well-being of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation based on ontology, epistemology, and axiology studies. Self-regulation is a philosophy that emphasizes the dynamic process that directs the behavior of a teenager towards the desired final state and adapts to changes that occur in the surrounding environment. The adaptation process is carried out as a form of self-regulation of the positive and negative impacts of using social media on adolescents with a motivational approach and avoidance system. The approach motivation system is carried out if it provides positive aspects in social media. While avoidance motivation is carried out if it has a negative impact in the form of low self-esteem, depression, and body image disturbances as a result of social comparisons made by teenagers when they see other people's posts.Conclusion: The concept of psychological well-being of adolescent social media users based on self-regulation is beneficial for parents to improve the parenting pattern of adolescent children. Good parenting is needed in understanding the positive and negative impacts of using social media and reducing externalization problems in adolescents.
