Abstract

Cyberbullying is a phenomenon that often occurs in adolescents and can be caused by conformity or personality. This study aimed to evaluate whether neurotic personality can strengthen or weaken the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying in adolescents. The participants were 140 adolescents aged 12–15 years old, all of whom were active social media users and had been involved in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying was measured on a scale created by the researchers (α = 0.863), conformity was measured using a peer conformity scale (α = 0.846), and neuroticism was measured using a scale that had been previously adapted into the Indonesian language and culture (α = 0.766). Data were analyzed quantitatively using PROCESS. The results showed that low levels of neuroticism could moderate or strengthen the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying. Future researchers might test moderating variables other than neuroticism to obtain new findings. Based on the current study, parents are advised to help children select their friendship environments to prevent cyberbullying behavior. Schools can create intervention programs to prevent cyberbullying, especially for adolescents who display neuroticism. School counselors and parents can create a positive friendship environment so that adolescents do not become perpetrators or victims of cyberbullying. Parents are additionally advised to limit the use of digital devices among their adolescents.

Abstract

The use of digital learning applications has become increasingly prevalent in educational settings, offering a range of interactive tools designed to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. As technology continues to influence education, it is essential to explore its impact on children’s cognitive abilities, particularly in school-age children. Learning applications are believed to improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and critical thinking. However, empirical evidence regarding the effects of these applications on children’s cognitive development remains limited. This study aims to investigate the impact of using learning applications on the cognitive abilities of school-age children. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 200 school-age children aged 6-12 years. The children were divided into an experimental group, using learning applications for 12 weeks, and a control group, which continued with traditional learning methods. Cognitive abilities were assessed before and after the intervention using standardized tests measuring attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. The results indicated that children in the experimental group showed significant improvements in cognitive abilities compared to the control group, particularly in memory and problem-solving skills. The study concludes that the use of learning applications positively influences cognitive development in school-age children, providing evidence for the integration of digital tools in educational practices to support cognitive growth.
