The primary purpose of this research was to look into college students’ academic stress as regressed from connectedness and academic buoyancy. Participants were 186 (male=61, female=125) undergraduates from a Philippine university. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed a significant inverse relationship between connectedness and academic stress in model 1 (β=-.277, p<.01). This relationship remained significant in model 2 (β=-.186, p<.01) when academic buoyancy and other demographic variables were entered, indicating the value of connectedness in situations that could trigger stress among students. Likewise, academic buoyancy was revealed a significant predictor of academic stress (β=-.294, p<.001). Findings suggest the utilization of an endogenous resource and an exogenous resource to cope with stress. Implications of the findings on school outcomes such as learning and motivation, and counseling psychology are discussed.
Death is often a taboo topic in society, especially among the Chinese community. Most of the violent video games are spreading the immoral value of life and death, deformed death concept and death attitude will be molded easily in children if without parents’ proper supervision. The misconception of death concept and death attitude can manipulate primary school children’s attitude towards death and might lead children to harm themselves or others. This study aimed to study the relationship between the violent video games and children’s death concept and death attitude (Fear of death, Death avoidance, Approach Acceptance, Escape Acceptance). This study also examined the differences between the level of exposure to violent video games towards children death concept and death attitude. Data will be collected from 397 Malaysian Chinese children between 10 to 12 years old by using purposive sampling method. Instruments used in this study consisted demographic information, Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R), Concepts of Life and Death Questionnaire (CLDQ) and Habitual Media Violence Exposure. High level of the violent video games was significantly negative correlated with death concept and fear of death, whilst significantly positive correlated with escape acceptance. The result of the independent samples t-test showed that children with high exposure to violent video game have poorer death concept, lower fear of death and a higher level of escape acceptance. Further research is needed to explore the death concept and attitude among children as technology has become an inseparable part of the human being in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
