“…These correlates have been elicited by many other similar studies. [13][14][15]20,23 However, as the current study is a cross-sectional analysis, the temporal relationship of these associations could not be established. Positive relationships between factors such as substance use and suicidal ideations, and physical violence have been demonstrated by Brown et al, who suggest that these behaviors are coping mechanisms for violence.…”

“…19 The current study demonstrated that boys were more likely to be involved in physical assaults and fights than girls, and this trend has been observed in similar studies carried out in Sri Lanka as well as in other countries. 4,5,11,15,20 A number of theories exist to explain this, the most prominent one being that boys have impulsive and active behaviors and are more prone to engage in risk taking activities. Also, during the adolescent period both sexes tend to adjust their behaviors according to the gender stereotypes, where males are perceived to be strong, powerful, and aggressive, increasing the risk of boys engaging in violence and obtaining injuries.…”

Interpersonal violence among adolescents is an issue of global public health concern, leading to adverse physical and psychological outcomes among children and young people under the age of 18 years. This article discusses the prevalence of interpersonal violence and identifies their associated factors among school-going adolescents of ages 13 to 17 years using the data from the Sri Lankan Global School-Based Health Survey conducted in 2016. Of the 3262 students who participated, 35.1% (95% confidence interval = 31.0% to 39.5%) were physically attacked and 44.2% (95% confidence interval = 39.2% to 49.4%) were in a fight with peers, one or more times during the 12 months prior to the survey. Being bullied by peers, male sex, 13 to 15 years age group, smoking and alcohol use, considering or attempting suicide, missing classes without permission, and parents not being aware of students’ activities were associated with violence. The study highlights the need for violence prevention programs to address the risk factors among school-going adolescents.

“…A person with low self-esteem, feels less confident about being able (has low self-efficacy), and his learning achievement will be low (Chen et al, 2018;Khotimah et al, 2016;Li et al, 2018;Mahmoudi, 2012;Shim et al, 2013). The results also show that high self-esteem is associated with alcohol use among students (Atalay et al, 2018;İnandı et al, 2009); High commitment to their Facebook group (Coco et al, 2018), and video game interactions with specific patterns (Billieux et al, 2015). This shows that self-esteem is very important and influential in the lives of individuals, especially adults who are just growing up.…”

The purpose of this study, namely to determine the relationship between the intensity of using Instagram and self-esteem in emerging adulthood. This research is a quantitative-survey research, with 259 students at “X” University as many as male and female participants aged 18-25 years. The measuring instrument used is the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale and the Instagram Intensity Scale. The analysis used was the Spearman non-parametric correlation test. The results show that there is a significant correlation between the intensity of using Instagram and self-esteem on emerging adulthood, there is also a correlation between emotional attachment to Instagram and self-esteem on emerging adulthood. Thus the higher the intensity of using Instagram or the higher the emotional attachment to Instagram, the higher the self-esteem of emerging adulthood. The higher the intensity of a person using Instagram, the higher the desire or motivation of the individual to become more prominent.

“…In addition, other correlates also revealed some interesting patterns that confirmed findings from previous studies. These included alcohol consumption [ 25 ] and using illicit substances in the past one month [ 10 , 16 ]. Since alcohol and drugs are often used in peer groups, being in a situation where these substances are consumed might put students at risk by lowering inhibitions among their peers, which may make acting out forms of social violence more likely [ 1 , 10 , 13 , 15 , 22 ].…”

Background Gender role non-conforming behaviors are a significant risk factor for school-related violence. The objective of this study is to describe the types, prevalence and correlates of social violence among Thai secondary school students, with a focus on gender role nonconformity. Methods This article uses secondary data from a national study of 2070 secondary school students aged 13-20 years representing Bangkok and all four regions of Thailand. Students were asked about their gender/sexual identity, self-perception of their masculinity or femininity, and experiences of social violence. Correlates of social violence were examined using multivariable logistic regression models. Results Prevalence of social violence victimization was high (57%). Most students considered themselves to be as masculine or as feminine as other members of their sex (82.6%), while 9.1% thought that they were less masculine/less feminine, and 8.3% thought they were more masculine/more feminine. Students who considered themselves less masculine or less feminine than others of their sex (AOR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.25) were more likely to experience social violence, compared to students who considered themselves equally masculine/ feminine. Students who self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) (AOR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.86) were also more likely to experience social violence, compared to students who did not identify as LGBT. However, students who considered PLOS ONE |
