“…People with a high tendency to experience neuroticism are typically described as having a neurotic personality ( McCrae and Sutin, 2018 ). Neuroticism has been found to be the most significant predictor of wellbeing, encompassing factors such as life satisfaction, positive affect and flourishing ( Asquith et al, 2022 ).…”

The relationship between anxiety and sleep disorders is a key research topic in the academic community. However, evidence on the mechanism through which anxiety influences sleep disorders remains limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles of flourishing and neuroticism in the mechanism through which anxiety influences sleep disorders in medical students. We constructed a moderated mediation model and tested the mediating role of flourishing and the moderating role of neuroticism in medical college students. The results showed that: (1) anxiety was significantly and positively related to sleep disorders and significantly and negatively related to flourishing; flourishing was significantly and negatively related to sleep disorders; neuroticism was significantly and positively related to sleep disorders; (2) flourishing had a mediation effect on the relationship between anxiety and sleep disorders; (3) neuroticism moderated the process through which flourishing mediated the effect of anxiety on sleep disorders. Our research expands the literature on the mechanism underlying the effects of anxiety on sleep disorders and provides insights into the potential prevention and intervention of sleep and emotional problems in medical students.

“…The type of leisure activities is one of the most studied factors affecting adolescents' happiness. Many studies emphasize the importance of active leisure activities such as physical activity and social activity [14,18,[55][56][57]. In particular, reportedly volunteer work has shown to have an important relationship with well-being and health [58][59][60][61][62].…”

Leisure plays a key role in the happiness of youth. Studies have shown that various factors of leisure, such as the type, the time, the cost, and the space, have an influence on the adolescents’ happiness. However, little is known about which of these factors is a major factor in youth’s happiness. The purpose of this study is to explore the leisure factors that determine happiness in adolescents by examining the relationship between happiness and various leisure factors. The study used the method of machine learning to analyze national statistical data, National Leisure Activity Survey. The data used in this study were from the National Leisure Activity Survey 2019, which is a national statistic produced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the Republic of Korea. The analysis found that leisure perceptions, academic and leisure balance, and public leisure space have a very important impact on the adolescents’ well-being. The findings of this research may contribute to a better understanding of leisure and happiness in adolescents, and will also help adolescents make better use of their leisure time, leading to better leisure lives, and ultimately contribute to raising their level of happiness.

“…It has been found that physical activity has a significant positive predictive effect on the development of personality traits such as neuroticism, conscientiousness and sociability (Liao et al, 2022). Physical activity can influence children and adolescents' neuroticism, conscientiousness and agreeableness through peer relationships (Asquith et al, 2022). A benefit that parents perceive as having a significant positive impact on their child's PA within the family is their child joining a sports club (Cai et al, 2022;Chaeroni et al 2021).…”

This study investigates the impact of physical activity on children's physical health, behavior and personality by considering differences in social status in urban and rural environments. Using mixed methods, we combined surveys, observations and psychological measurements to gain in-depth insights. Involving children of different age groups (12-16 years old) from both neighborhoods (urban and rural), this study looked at the level, frequency, and type of physical activity they engaged in. In evaluating physical health, not only physical aspects such as fitness and body mass index were considered, but also factors such as sleep patterns and eating habits. In addition, the children's behavior and personality were also analyzed using tested measurement tools. This study aims to uncover significant differences and patterns that may emerge between urban and rural children in response to physical activity. The findings from this study are expected to provide an in-depth picture of the complex relationship between physical activity, social status and children's well-being. The practical implication of this study is to develop more focused interventions to promote physical activity in both settings, taking into account their social context. This study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that has been published in the Web of Science, Transport Research International Documentation (TRID), Scopus, Medline, and Google Scolar. Data were analyzed using the process of selecting articles used utilizing the PRISMA. By presenting these findings comprehensively, this study contributes to a better understanding of child health efforts in different urban and rural environments. Physical activity interventions were effective in changing behavior and improving personality traits of children in both urban and rural areas. The importance of adaptation of intervention strategies depending on the environmental context recommends further research: Include more variables, consider psychological aspects in more depth, and explore the role of social factors in intervention success.
