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.Item Parenting Styles, Birth Order and Emotional Intelligence in Young Adults(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Hajra Javed; Sp20-BPY-022; Ms. Hamna Zahid; LHR TP 8865This study aimed to assess the role of different parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) and birth orders (only child, first-born, second-born, third-born, fourth-born) as predictor of emotional intelligence also assess the relationship of parenting styles (as perceived by the children) with emotional intelligence in young adults. It was hypothesized that there would be an association between parenting styles, birth order and emotional intelligence in young adults. Moreover, parenting styles, birth order are likely to predict emotional intelligence in young adults. The sample comprised of 300 university students (N=300), including males (n= 149) and females (n=151) with an age range of 19 to 25 years. Convenient sampling strategy was used to approach participants and data collection from different universities of Lahore. To assess the perceived style of parenting, Perceived Parenting Style Scale by (Divya, Manikandan 2013), birth order by (Larie, 2001) was used and to assess the level of emotional intelligence, Schutte’s Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) was used. Using SPSS 26 Pearson product-moment correlation, hierarchical regression analysis and t test as an additional analysis were applied to compute the results. The study found that there is a positive relationship between authoritative parenting and emotional intelligence and negative relationship between authoritarian and permissive parenting styles and emotional intelligence. Parents would be able to understand the importance of the parenting style they are using and how they are effecting their kid’s mental and emotional health.Item Emotional Intelligence, Resilience and Aggression in University Students(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2024) Maham Anwar; Sp20-BPY-042; Ms. Hamna Zahid; LHR TP 8858
