“…Additionally, academicians have considered academic performance as a direct link to behavior, psychology and social spectacle (Chen 2005;Bhandarkar et al, 2021). Socialization and academics are regarded as same for school adjustment (Rienties et al, 2012;Coninck et al, 2021), future outcomes (Bhandarkar et al, 2021), future jobs performance (Sonny & Sherman, 1989;Abbasi et al, 2021). Positive schooling results in shape of the best academic performance (Marks, 2010), rational performance or life adjustment (Crede, et al, 2015), and overall living standard (Hascher & Hagenauer, 2020;Nordlander & Stensöta, 2014).…”

The current research addresses the issue of student academic performance while identifying its potential predictors. social media addiction is predicting variable and student performance is dependent variable whereas student engagement is mediating variable. Current research proposes following research hypotheses; firstly to examine the direct impact of Social Media addiction on the student academic performance and student engagement while checking the direct impact of social media addiction on the student engagement respectively. Secondly, current research examines mediating effect of student engagement in relation between social media addiction and student academic performance. Students of Govt. universities are the target population. 250 university students were selected with the help of the snowball sampling technique. Results reveal that all three hypotheses are accepted over significant outcomes of statistical procedures. In future research, other potential predictors of student academic performance like use of Facebook, use of Twitter may include in addition to target students of private universities along with students of Govt. universities and compare the results.

“…Depressive Mood was assessed by the eight-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D8), which is a simplified version of the CES-D20 scale [38][39][40]. In the CES-D8 scale, participants were asked: "Did you experience any of the listed situations for last week", which includes (1) feeling depressed, (2) feeling strenuous to do anything, (3) suffering from insomnia or hypersomnia symptoms, (4) feeling pleasant, (5) feeling lonely, (6) feeling happy, (7) feeling sad, (8) feeling inability to continue life.…”

(1) Objectives: Using cross-sectional datasets, we investigated whether better self-perceived physical and social neighborhood environment was associated with perceived health status and health-related behaviors among Chinese rural residents. (2) Study Design: The study was based on the 2016 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) survey. The sample consisted of 7191 rural residents over 18 in China. (3) Methods: The article measured physical neighborhood environment from the two aspects of dwelling environment (DE) and public facilities convenience (PFC), and social neighborhood environment from public security (PS) and neighborhood relationship (NR). Associations between health status/health-related behaviors and self-perceived physical/social neighborhood environment were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for socio-demographic characteristics. (4) Results: The results suggested that rural residents who live in a good neighborhood environment reported having a better health status. Specifically, rural residents who reported living in good DE were less likely to have a depressive mood and poor health conditions. Those who reported good PFC were less likely to have depressive mood, poor self-rated health and chronic diseases. Rural residents who reported having good PS were less likely to have a depressive mood. Those who reported good NR were less likely to have a depressive mood, poor self-rated health, chronic diseases and obesity. Regarding neighborhood environment and health-related behaviors, the results showed that rural residents who reported good PFC were more likely to do physical exercise. Notably, the regression results of the education level variable showed that education level significantly promoted the health-related behaviors (time sleeping weekday, physical exercise and smoking) of rural residents. (5) Conclusions: This article suggested that there was strong evidence for a relationship between physical and social neighborhood environment and the general health of rural residents due to all causes. According to the conclusion of this article, in order to improve the health of rural residents, policy interventions should give priority to improving the neighborhood environment. In addition, the improvement in the degree that rural residents are exposed to education is of the same importance, which helps more rural residents to maintain good health-related behaviors.

“…The RFQ-8 has been extensively used to assess RF in research aimed at (a) defining its dysfunction (usually hypomentalization) in groups of patients or other populations [ 39 – 47 ], and how it mediates symptomatic expression [ 35 , 48 – 67 ]; (b) assessing change in psychotherapy [ 68 – 75 ]; and (c) understanding the relationship of RF to attachment and parenting [ 27 , 60 , 76 – 79 ]. Surprisingly, much of this research [ 27 , 43 – 48 , 50 , 52 , 53 , 57 , 59 – 68 , 71 , 77 ] suggest that higher RFQc scores may indicate more appropriate mentalization [ 51 , 68 ], perhaps reflecting confidence in mental states as valid explanations for emotional experiences and behaviors [ 48 ].…”

Introduction Mentalization or reflective functioning (RF) is the capacity to interpret oneself or the others in terms of internal mental states. Its failures have been linked to several mental disorders and interventions improving RF have a therapeutic effect. Mentalizing capacity of the parents influences the children’s attachment. The Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ-8) is a widely used tool for the assessment of RF. No instrument is available to assess general RF in Spanish-speaking samples. The aim of this study is to develop a Spanish version of the RFQ-8 and to evaluate its reliability and validity in the general population and in individuals with personality disorders. Methods 602 non-clinical and 41 personality disordered participants completed a Spanish translation of the RFQ and a battery of self-reported questionnaires assessing several RF related constructs (alexithymia, perspective taking, identity diffusion and mindfulness), psychopathology (general and specific) and interpersonal problems. Temporal stability was tested in a non-clinical sub-sample of 113 participants. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggested a one-factor structure in the Spanish version of the RFQ-8. RFQ-8 understood as a single scale was tested, with low scorings reflecting genuine mentalizing, and high scorings uncertainty. The questionnaire showed good internal consistence in both samples and moderate temporal stability in non-clinical sample. RFQ correlated significantly with identity diffusion, alexithymia, and general psychopathology in both samples; and with mindfulness, perspective taking, and interpersonal problems in clinical sample. Mean values of the scale were significantly higher in the clinical group. Discussion This study provides evidence that the Spanish version of the RFQ-8, understood as a single scale, has an adequate reliability and validity assessing failures in reflective functioning (i.e., hypomentalization) in general population and personality disorders.
