Abstract

This literature review investigates the association between self-control and engagement in risky sexual behaviors among university students. Risky sexual practices such as engaging in unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and initiating sexual activity at an early age have been shown to correlate with a range of adverse consequences, including increased vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. Self-control, conceptualized as an individual's capacity to manage impulses, emotions, and behaviors in alignment with long-term objectives, serves as a crucial psychological buffer against such risk-taking behaviors. Drawing upon a synthesis of empirical findings and relevant theoretical models, this review highlights a recurring pattern: students with diminished self-control are more likely to partake in high-risk sexual behavior. Furthermore, the review considers the influence of situational and environmental variables such as peer dynamics, substance use, and digital media exposure as potential moderators. The evidence underscores the significance of cultivating self-regulation skills in promoting safer sexual behavior and advocates for the integration of self-control development within health education programs targeted at university populations. The method employed was a literature review, with a total of 10 articles included based on the screening process. The findings indicate that premarital sexual behavior among university students is influenced by various internal and external factors. Furthermore, self-control plays an important role in preventing students’ involvement in premarital sexual behavior.

Abstract

This study explores key factors influencing adolescent happiness through a narrative literature review. Adolescence is a vulnerable phase marked by significant biological, psychological, and social transitions, making happiness a vital component for long-term well-being and healthy development. The review analyzed 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025. Findings indicate that adolescent happiness is shaped by three main domains: (1) individual psychological factors such as emotion regulation, gratitude, optimism, religiosity, self-acceptance, self-esteem, character strengths, help-seeking behavior, and emotional intelligence; (2) social and relational factors, particularly the quality of relationships with parents and peers; and (3) lifestyle factors, including sleep quality, physical activity, and patterns of social media use. In addition, several barriers were identified, such as academic stress, interpersonal difficulties, and unhealthy daily habits. These findings suggest the importance of integrated intervention strategies that address internal psychological skills, enhance interpersonal relationships, and promote healthy lifestyle choices. The study contributes to the field by synthesizing recent literature across various contexts, offering a conceptual basis for the development of more targeted, evidence-based programs aimed at improving adolescent happiness.

Abstract

This literature review explores the dynamics of academic stress and happiness among students across various educational levels. Academic stress, arising from factors such as high expectations, heavy workloads, and peer pressure, negatively impacts students' well-being and happiness. Research indicates a consistent negative correlation between academic stress and happiness, emphasizing the urgent need for effective support systems within educational institutions. The review highlights key factors that influence this relationship, including emotional closeness with family, self-efficacy, and coping mechanisms such as mindfulness and physical activity. Additionally, the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated academic stress and hindered happiness. The findings underscore the importance of creating supportive environments and collaborative efforts among educators, parents, and communities to enhance students' emotional and psychological well-being, enabling them to thrive academically and personally.
