It was based on the idea that there are only six steps between any two people. It is called the small world issue because of how connected people are thought to be, Facebook began as an online community for Harvard University students in 2004 and has since grown to be the most widely used SNS on the globe but it is not only one most used site there are many more. In 2016 globally 2.34 billion people used social networks. 22.9% of people worldwide accessed Facebook in that year according to available data. In 2015, the typical social media user in the USA and the UK spent 1.7 hours daily on the platform while users in the Philippines used it for an average of 3.7 hours daily. Because social media lets people talk to each other no matter where they are or what time it is, it seems that many people enjoy using it in their spare time. Communication and connection in the current world are mostly facilitated by SNSs and related applications. Social networking sites (SNS) allow users to create public profiles, share content with friends, and socialize with others online. Social networking apps and websites such as Twitter, WhatsApp, Snap chat and Instagram have made it simple for individuals particularly the younger generation. The only reason any of this is conceivable is that access to the internet has grown both widespread and inexpensive.The current era is heavily mediated by technology, including the basic human need to engage in social interaction; the new norm is to be online (Kuss& Griffiths, 2017).Item Cyberbullying, Fear of Missing Out and Self-Perception in Adolescents(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Mehak Shahzadi; SP20-BPY-029; Ms. Hamna Zahid; LHR TP 8891In recent years many parents and researchers have expressed concerns regarding the potential negative impact of social media use on adolescents. Some studies have indicated that social media use may be tied to negative mental health outcomes. Other studies have not found evidence for harm, or have indicated that social media use may be beneficial for some individuals. The current correlational study examined 417 adolescents from different Pakistani school and college students for their time spent using social media, and the importance of social media in their lives. The research investigated the relationship among cyberbullying, fear of missing out (FOMO), and self-perception by checking whether cyberbullying is a predictor of self-perception while fear of missing out acted as a mediator. Key findings include significant correlations between these factors, indicating that higher levels of cyberbullying and fear of missing out are associated with negative self-perception in adolescents. Results indicated that cyberbullying was not predictive of self-perception while fear of missing out acted as a mediator. However, cyberbullying was predictive of fear of missing out, suggesting this may be particularly relevant in leading to increased levels of mental health issues in cyberbullying victims. The study contributes to understanding the psychological impacts of digital technology use among young individuals and suggests the need for strategies to mitigate these negative effects. Finally, the theoretical implications of our findings on the relationship between these variables and the mental health issues of adolescent victims of cyberbullying are discussed.

A convenient sampling method was employed to collect data from 200 participants aged between 25 and 50 years (M=36.38, SD=4.70). Individuals filled out self-report forms, which included a Demographic Questionnaire, Perceived Stress Scale, Cognitive Distortion Scale, and Emotional Dysregulation Scale. The research included psychologists from different clinical settings, and formal consents were diligently obtained. Results revealed significant correlations between self-criticism, predictive thinking, and emotional dysregulation. Perceived stress demonstrated a positive association with emotional dysregulation, emphasizing its notable impact. Moreover, stress-creating thinking contributed to perceived stress. The regression analysis highlighted age as a minimal predictor, while perceived stress and various cognitive distortions collectively explained 32% of the variance in emotional dysregulation. Noteworthy predictors included stress-creating thinking, self-blame/self-criticism, and rigid thinking as negative predictors, while predictive thinking emerged as a positive predictor of emotional dysregulation. The study suggests that stress and cognitive distortion, especially predictive thinking, contribute to emotional dysregulation among psychologists. Implications underscore the significance of organizational policies, professional development programs, and refined psychology curricula to address psychologists' well-being, subsequently impacting client outcomes. Overall, these findings contribute to the understanding of the factors influencing emotional well-being in the field of psychology.Item Mindfulness, Emotional intelligence and Academic adjustment in college students(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Ayesha Azam; Sp20-BPY-003; Ms. Zaeema Farooq; LHR TP 8892The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between mindfulness, emotional intelligence and academic adjustment in college students.
