Examining the Indirect Effect of Online Gaming on Depression via Sleep Inequality and Anxiety—A Serial and Parallel Mediation Analysis
2022
Stress-related disorders are highly prevalent among first-year college students. Gaming disorder (GD) is an emerging disorder linked to physical and psychological consequences. We aimed to investigate the mechanism linking GD with anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders among first-year undergraduate students. Four hundred fifty-seven participants were recruited, and the survey included the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale Short-Form (IGDS9-SF), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Our results showed that female students scored significantly higher than males in anxiety and depression. Furthermore, we found…
Everyday Listening to Music and Emotion Among College Students
2013
This study attempted to reveal the relationship between everyday listening to music and emotion among col-lege students. Participants were 13 female and 2 male college students who were given booklets to record the following over an 8-day period: dates and times of their everyday experiences of listening to music, duration of listening, locations and contexts of listening, active or passive listening, emotions before and after listening, and tiles and artists to which they listened. Results indicated that the participants listened to music for 5 to 30 minutes while driving or riding in a car. Emotions reported both before and after listening to music were mainly ‘happy’, ‘calm’, and ‘dull’.…
Student Perceptions of the Ethics of Professors
2005
Ethical violations are becoming common in the business world. Teaching proper ethical behavior can begin in college. In this study, we surveyed 350 students to determine what affects students’ perceptions of the ethics of professors and to determine whether or not taking a course in ethics changes this perception. The most important factor in determining whether or not a professor is ethical is “fairness in grading.” Surprisingly, there was no statistically significant difference between students who took a course in ethics and those who did not in their perception of what makes a professor ethical or unethical. There were some differences, however, between males and females in these percep…
Online prevention programmes for university students: stakeholder perspectives from six European countries
2021
Abstract Background Students beginning university are at a heightened risk for developing mental health disorders. Online prevention and early intervention programmes targeting mental health have the potential to reduce this risk, however, previous research has shown uptake to be rather poor. Understanding university stakeholders’ (e.g. governing level and delivery staff [DS] and students) views and attitudes towards such online prevention programmes could help with their development, implementation and dissemination within university settings. Methods Semi-structured interviews, focus groups and online surveys were completed with staff at a governing level, university students and DS (i.e.…
Self-care of heart failure patients: practical management recommendations from the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology
2020
Self-care is essential in the long-term management of chronic heart failure. Heart failure guidelines stress the importance of patient education on treatment adherence, lifestyle changes, symptom monitoring and adequate response to possible deterioration. Self-care is related to medical and person-centred outcomes in patients with heart failure such as better quality of life as well as lower mortality and readmission rates. Although guidelines give general direction for self-care advice, health care professionals working with patients with heart failure need more specific recommendations. The aim of the management recommendations in this paper is to provide practical advice for health profe…
Keskijohdon kaksoissidokset tietotyön organisoinnissa
2019
Artikkelimme käsittelee keskijohdon asemaa tietotyön, tässä tapauksessa yliopistotyön, organisoinnissa. Tutkimuksen empiria perustuu haastatteluaineistoon, joka on osa laajempaa etnografista aineistoa. Kuvaamme haastatteluaineiston kautta erästä työyhteisöä tapausesimerkkinä käyttäen millaisia positioita, puhetapoja ja artikulaatiota keskijohdon kaksoisasema organisaatiossa heille tuottaa sekä oman että alaisten työn johtamisessa. Kysymme erityisesti: 1) Miten keskijohdon edustajat hahmottavat epävarmuuden osana organisaation toimintaa, omaa työtään ja alaisten työn organisointia? 2) Miten epävarmuuteen keskijohdon positiosta suhtaudutaan ja millaisia mahdollisia ristiriitatilanteita tämä t…

Factorial Structure and Psychometric Properties of the Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS) in Colombian College Students
2017
RESUMEN Se investigó la estructura factorial de la Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS) en universitarios colombianos. La gestión del tiempo es un importante predictor del logro estudiantil y clave para la disminución de la deserción universitaria. Participaron 494 estudiantes de primer año de nueve programas en dos universidades de la ciudad de Bogotá. Se comprueba una estructura multidimensional de cuatro subescalas que explicaron el 42.68 % de la varianza total. Se obtuvieron índices de consistencia interna por encima de 0.7 en tres factores y una fiabilidad global de 0.84. Coincidiendo con investigaciones previas, frente a los hombres, las mujeres obtienen puntuaciones superiores en do…
Modernizing the Police with Research, Development and Innovation Activities : The Transition of the Finnish Police Education into a Bachelor’s Degree
2017
The social context and the operational environment of the police has changed considerably around the world. Recently, that change has necessitated a restructuring in the Finnish police education. This reform is based on the belief that a higher level of education and a greater focus on research will lead to better professional skills and an increased ability to perform in the workplace. In this article, we examine the views of the staff of the Finnish Police University College on research, development and innovation activities (RDI) in the light of a survey answered by the staff. We pay special attention to the connection between the teacher’s level of different skill areas and the experien…

2020
El presente estudio presenta el diseño y validación del instrumento UN-DIGECO (University Digital Ecosystem), orientado a conocer el Ecosistema Digital Universitario, identificando las dimensiones asociadas al uso que hacen los estudiantes de los medios sociales (MMSS) y/o aplicaciones digitales. La validación de contenido y comprensión se efectuó en tres fases: construcción, refinado y validación psicométrica, mediante el análisis factorial confirmatorio, apoyado en el constructo teórico inicial. Se diseñaron ítems –recabando información de instrumentos similares-, acordes a indicadores adscritos a seis dimensiones: aprendizaje, interacción social, creación de contenidos, consumo online, o…
