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.

Employing the Multidimensional Neglectful Behavioral Scale, parental neglect is assessed, while the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support is utilized to gauge social support in juveniles. The Self-Report Delinquency Scale is employed to measure delinquent behaviors among the participants. A relevant study conducted by Smith, Johnson, and Williams (2015) explored the connections between parental neglect, social support, and juvenile delinquency. Their research revealed a significant correlation between parental neglect and juvenile delinquency. It also emphasized the moderating role of social support in mitigating the impact of neglect. Correlational analysis of my study indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between parental neglect and juvenile delinquency, highlighting the critical role of parental involvement in shaping delinquent behaviors. Furthermore, the study explored the moderating influence of social support on this relationship. These findings contributed to our understanding of the factors influencing juvenile delinquency and emphasized the need for targeted interventions addressing parental neglect and enhancing social support structures. The research underscored the importance of considering familial and social dynamics in devising effective strategies to prevent and mitigate juvenile delinquency.
