“…It has been found that MS3 is positively BOLD related to the fronto-insular SN, including the dACC, the bilateral inferior frontal cortex, and the insula ( Fox et al, 2006 ; Seeley et al, 2007 ), which play a critical role in switching between central executive function and the default mode ( Sridharan et al, 2008 ). The experiments of Miri et al (2019) showed that the physical and psychological effects of excessive cell phone use include headaches and memory loss, and the brain regions involved in the default mode network (MS3) include the hippocampus, which explains why memory loss occurs in addicts. From the above evidence, we may infer that the addict’s insula activity increases, leading to withdrawal.…”

“…Additionally, Jacobsen and Forste (2011) identified a significant negative association between the use of mobile phones and academic performance among first-year university students in the United States. MPA has become a global concern because of its negative effects on memory and interpersonal communication ( Hao et al, 2019 ; Miri et al, 2019 ), as well as its association with negative emotions (anxiety, depression, stress, and loneliness) ( Demirci et al, 2015 ; Chen et al, 2016 ; Gao et al, 2018 ).…”

The prevalence of mobile phone addiction (MPA) has increased rapidly in recent years, and it has had a certain negative impact on emotions (e.g., anxiety and depression) and cognitive capacities (e.g., executive control and working memory). At the level of neural circuits, the continued increase in activity in the brain regions associated with addiction leads to neural adaptations and structural changes. At present, the spontaneous brain microstates that could be negatively influenced by MPA are unclear. In this study, the temporal characteristics of four resting-state electroencephalogram (RS-EEG) microstates (MS1, MS2, MS3, and MS4) related to mobile phone addiction tendency (MPAT) were investigated using the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS). We attempted to analyze the correlation between MPAT and corresponding microstates and provide evidence to explain the brain and behavioral changes caused by MPA. The results showed that the total score of the MPATS was positively correlated with the duration of MS1, related to phonological processing and negatively correlated with the duration of MS2, related to visual or imagery processing, and MS4, related to the attentional network; the score of the withdrawal symptoms subscale was additionally associated with duration of MS3, related to the cingulo-opercular emotional network. Based on these results, we believe that MPAT may have some negative effects on attentional networks and sensory brain networks; moreover, withdrawal symptoms may induce some negative emotions.

“…This is aligned with Zyngier's (2008) argument that youth development can be strengthened during the learning process if they are given the opportunity to develop and explore any kind of prospects that are not confined to the prestructured education system. However, discussions about the development of research self-efficacy or self-efficacy among postgraduates frequently centre on the doctoral level, adult age level, field of psychology or counselling, self-efficacy and the work profession, and field of medicine or nursing (as example through research; (Rowe-Johnson, 2018;Speer et al, 2021;Miri et al, 2018;Nazari et al, 2021). Yet, there is currently a paucity of study and in-depth material that focuses on how postgraduate degrees, such as Master's and Doctor of Philosophy programmes, assist youth enhance their sense of self-efficacy.…”

Through the incorporation of self-directed learning and remote learning into the educational system, the sequence from the diffusion of COVID-19 and the transition to the endemic phase has resulted in an awareness of lifelong learning. In light of the fact that self-efficacy in the learning process is the foundation of Positive Youth Development (PYD), e-learning has become the most popular choice and continues to be used. As a consequence, there is a need to improve self-efficacy in the learning process. In the context of education, self-efficacy is a significant factor in determining student accomplishment throughout the learning process and a contributor to the development of generic skill. The learning process can be fulfilled through obtaining formal education through the university system, with a focus on the Extension Education as a hub for the process of lifelong learning. Exploration of the Extension Education serves as the basis for the viability of postgraduate programmes, giving people the chance to acquire balanced skill sets while also helping them to attain their goals. Thus, the intention of this concept paper will thoroughly explain the definition and development of Extension of Education and how the postgraduate course complies to the parameters set out in the area of extension education and how this process of learning impacts the Positive Youth Development. In this study, generics are viewed as a vital element that must be integrated into each person's life in order for them to live a lifelong life, in addition to being seen as a strength to meet obstacles in the world of work. It must begin by examining how a formal education system fosters the growth of self-efficacy. Youth empowerment during this time period depends on the process of applying skills in a real-world environment since it promotes the concept of responsibility and the perception that their efforts are having a positive impact. The elements of the '5C' in Positive Youth Development will be nurtured during this process through effective youth-adult connection throughout the skill-building activities, as well as youth engagement and leadership.

“…Buctot and colleagues [17] also showed, using KID-SCREEN-27, that PSU is negatively correlated with several domains (physical health and psychological health, school environment) but unrelated to others (e.g., autonomy, parental, and peer support). Another study that used the SF-12 showed that PSU is associated with poor mental health but not physical health [69].…”

Purpose of Review Previous studies have explored the links between problematic Internet use (PIU) or problematic smartphone use (PSU) and quality of life (QOL). In this systematic review, we (i) describe the instruments used to assess QOL or health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in these studies, (ii) critically examine the content validity of the instruments used, and (iii) examine the relationships between PIU, PSU, QOL, and HRQOL. Recent Findings We identified 17 PIU and 11 PSU studies in a systematic search. Evidence suggests that PIU and PSU negatively correlate with either QOL or HQOL and most of their domains (especially mental and physical health). Multiple instruments were used to assess QOL or HRQOL in these studies. Our analysis showed an important heterogeneity in the domains covered by these instruments. Summary Because of the widespread prevalence of PIU and PSU, which tend to be linked with lower QOL or HRQOL, in particular poor mental and physical health, a more systematic public health campaign is required to target the healthy use of these communication devices. Prevention programs should also target vulnerable individuals, focusing on the most affected domains of QOL and HRQOL (i.e., physical and psychological health). Among the existing instruments, the World Health Organization Quality of Life for adults and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for adolescents (aged 13–18 years) proved to be the most relevant, although new measurement instruments are needed to target domains that are specifically relevant in the context of PIU and PSU (e.g., physical and psychological health domains such as sleep, loneliness, and quality of familial relations).
