Keywords :
Body Image; Body Dissatisfaction; Ideals of Thinness; Self-Objectification; Eating Disorders; Anxiety
Abstract :
Humans form opinions about their bodies at a very early age, and children as young as 3 years old displayed body confidence issues. The likelihood of experiencing body dissatisfaction increases across childhood and into adolescence. Body mass index (BMI) is an important predictor of body dissatisfaction, and BMI is associated with body satisfaction across cultures. Studies on disordered eating and body dissatisfaction were predominantly conducted in Western countries. However, several recent studies suggested that women in Asian countries were vulnerable to disordered eating, similar to their Western counterparts. In Malaysia, negative body image perceptions, weight obsession and disordered eating were usually identified in adolescents with peer and emotional problems. Having a negative body image is associated with social appearance anxiety. The fear of evaluation by oneself and others is often associated with body image disturbance which is a key risk factor for the development of eating disorder symptoms among adolescents. Social appearance anxiety and eating disorders are highly comorbid. Women diagnosed with an eating disorder tend to have higher levels of BMI, drive for thinness, and body dissatisfaction. Objectification theory could explain the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Objectification theory has linked self-objectification to negative emotional experiences and disordered eating behaviour in cultures that sexually objectify the female body. High levels of disordered eating attitudes and behaviours are often associated with greater objectification of their bodies.

Abstract :
This study aims to determine whether mastery level, frequency of smartphone usage, and sleep disturbances could influence Malaysian university students’ life satisfaction. Specifically, it examines which variable has the most contribution to life satisfaction. To test the hypotheses that all predictor variables have a significant impact on life satisfaction, an online survey was distributed randomly to university students across Malaysia (N = 228). Measurement tools included the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pearlin Mastery Scale (PMS). The answers were analysed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed small effects of mastery level and frequency of smartphone usage on life satisfaction however, sleep disturbances did not support the hypothesis. The multiple regression analysis demonstrated that mastery level has the most contribution to life satisfaction. Furthermore, this study discovered a piece of valuable information on factors that resulted in disturbed sleep which can be utilised for future research. Lastly, limitations and implications from this study and future research recommendations were also included in this paper.

This could be due to the equal opportunities given to all students; thus males and females shoulders the same responsibilities and burdens. The students went through the same Movement Control Orders and therefore had the same experiences in this hard time.

Procrastination, Emotion Regulation Difficulties, Time Management, Undergraduate Student
Abstract :
Procrastination is considered a serious societal problem and, it is important to study the factors influencing it. Emotion regulation difficulties and time management are considered as the potential predictor of procrastination. However, there are limited number of studies that investigate both variables in examining procrastination. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of emotion regulation difficulties and time management on procrastination among undergraduate students in UMS. In this study, a survey study with a quantitative approach was applied as the research design. A total of 152 respondents with the inclusion criteria of undergraduate students and full-time students were recruited through snowball sampling method. Each respondent has completed the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS), Brief version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-18), and Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that emotion regulation difficulties showed a significant positive relationship with procrastination, while time management showed a significant negative relationship with procrastination. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis revealed that emotion regulation difficulties and time management are significant predictors of procrastination (F_((2,149) )=78.933,p<.05), whereby emotion regulation difficulties showed a slightly larger contribution to procrastination compared to time management. Overall, the study’s finding has helped to fill the gap in the previous study while allowing further understanding on the procrastination phenomenon. The present study also provides guidance for future researchers when examining the effects of emotion regulation difficulties and time management on procrastination.

Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on individual’s psychological well-being and job performance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and job performance among male and female employees at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in the post-pandemic period. A total of 152 employees participated in an online survey that assessed psychological well-being (using Psychological Well-being Survey) and job performance (using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire- IWPQ). Results of a t-test revealed that female employees had significantly higher levels of most psychological well-being dimensions (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, relations with others and self-acceptance). However, no significant difference was found between male and female employees in term of purpose in life dimension in psychological well-being. Meanwhile findings showed that female employees had significantly higher levels of two dimensions in job performance (task performance and conceptual performance) but not significant in counterproductive work behavior dimension in job performance. These findings suggest that male and female employees do differ in psychological well-being and job performance in the post-pandemic period. To determine strategies for promoting the psychological well-being and job performance of all employees in the post-pandemic period, further research is required to investigate potential explanations for these findings.
