The Influence of WI-FI Use on the Resilience in Undergraduates

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore the resilience and the WI-FI behavior in the undergraduates, and investigate the relationship between them. One thousand one hundred and seventy-four undergraduates who were selected by stratified random sampling from 5 universities in Guangdong were assessed with the Resiliency Scale for Chinese Adolescent (RSCA), as well as a self-edited questionnaire on the general information and the WI-FI behavior in the undergraduates. Results included the following: (1) the resilience of the undergraduates was at the middle level; (2) the undergraduates didn't have enough scientific knowledge on WI-FI, 80.32% of them were high-frequent user of WI-FI, and 17.12% of them were WI-FI dependents; (3) there existed commonly some physical sub-health symptoms in the undergraduates, such as numbness and soreness of cervical or lumbar vertebra, dry eyes and even pain, and impaired vision; (4) multiple regression analysis showed that the mainly influencing factors in terms of WI-FI use of the total score of RSCA were the following 11 items: the knowledge of WI-FI, the purpose of Internet access (whether to use WI-FI to escape the real troubles), the degree of WI-FI dependence, whether the undergraduates were anxious to use WI-FI in the public place, the average time of WI-FI use per day, degree of shoulder and neck involvement, degree of eye involvement, degree of lumbar involvement, whether free WI-FI software was installed or not, whether to use WI-FI during class, whether the personal mobile phone supporting WI-FI. In conclusion, the use of WI-FI had significant influence on the resilience in the undergraduates.

The relationship between mobile phone addiction and time management disposition among Chinese college students：A cross-lagged panel model

“…Time management skills play a pivotal role in academic achievement, and often serving as a cornerstone for success in college [ 17 ]. Inadequacies in time management disposition negatively affect college students' academic engagement [ 18 ], and academic performance [ 19 ], leading to learning burnout [ 19 ], and academic procrastination [ 20 ]. Additionally, research indicates that time management disposition is associated with mental health [ 21 ], career anxiety [ 22 ], and negative coping styles among college students [ 23 ].…”
