Abstract

Smartphones have become an integral part of modern education, offering both opportunities and challenges in learning environments. This study explores the impact of smartphone usage on cognitive processes, specifically short-term memory and attention, through a systematic literature review. Utilizing databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed, relevant studies were analyzed to assess the benefits and drawbacks of smartphone integration in education. The findings reveal that structured smartphone use, including gamified learning tools and reinforcement models, enhances engagement and knowledge retention. However, unregulated smartphone use leads to cognitive overload, distractions, and reduced academic performance. The study emphasizes the importance of policy reforms, teacher training, and digital literacy programs to maximize the benefits of mobile technology in education while mitigating its negative effects. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and cross-cultural comparisons to refine best practices for smartphone-assisted learning. The results underscore the need for balanced technology integration to optimize learning outcomes in an increasingly digitalized academic landscape.

Abstract

Loneliness and social isolation have gained increasing attention as significant public health concerns, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study explores the psychological, social, and demographic dimensions of loneliness, emphasizing its impact on mental health and well-being. A systematic literature review was conducted using multiple academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The findings confirm that loneliness is strongly associated with depression, anxiety, and psychological distress, with young women and older adults being particularly vulnerable. Digital technology has played a dual role, offering both social support and, in some cases, reinforcing social disconnection. Regional disparities highlight that economic insecurity and limited healthcare access further exacerbate social isolation in developing nations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of targeted policy interventions, including community-based programs, mental health integration into primary healthcare, and public awareness campaigns. Technology should be used strategically to enhance social connectivity rather than replace face-to-face interactions. The study identifies key research gaps, such as the need for longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of loneliness and intervention effectiveness. Future research should explore the intersection of loneliness with socioeconomic determinants to develop holistic, evidence-based strategies for mitigating its effects. Addressing loneliness requires a multifaceted, collaborative approach integrating social, economic, and technological solutions to enhance overall well-being.

Abstract

Social media has become a dominant force in shaping body image perceptions, particularly among adolescents and young adults. This study explores the relationship between social media exposure and body dissatisfaction, emphasizing the influence of unrealistic beauty standards. Using a systematic literature review, key themes such as social comparison, cultural norms, and mental health were identified as critical factors in body image perception. Findings reveal that over 60% of individuals who engage with social media report heightened concerns about their appearance, often leading to anxiety, self-esteem issues, and disordered eating behaviors. The role of systemic influences, including peer interactions, media representation, and public policies, further exacerbates these concerns. The study underscores the urgent need for interventions such as media literacy education, stricter content regulations, and the promotion of diverse body representations. Future research should focus on the long-term psychological effects of social media exposure and cross-cultural variations in body image perception. These insights will be crucial in developing comprehensive policies and support systems that foster healthier body image perspectives. Addressing body dissatisfaction requires a multi-disciplinary approach integrating education, policy-making, and psychological support to mitigate the negative impact of digital media on self-perception.

Abstract

Sibling relationships significantly influence children's cognitive, social, and emotional development, yet the complexity of these interactions requires further exploration. This study conducts a comprehensive review of existing literature to examine the role of sibling dynamics in shaping adaptive behaviors, emotional regulation, and social competence. A systematic search was performed across databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed, utilizing keywords such as "sibling relationships," "child development," and "social-emotional growth." Inclusion criteria focused on empirical studies published within the last decade, while exclusion criteria eliminated non-empirical sources and studies outside the domains of psychology and education. Findings reveal that sibling interactions provide essential learning environments, fostering problem-solving skills, emotional resilience, and social adaptability. However, these relationships are influenced by factors such as birth order, parental involvement, socio-economic conditions, and cultural context. While positive sibling interactions enhance developmental outcomes, challenges such as rivalry and unequal parental attention pose risks. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions, including educational programs, parental guidance strategies, and policy-driven support structures to optimize sibling relationships. These findings underscore the importance of integrating sibling dynamics into broader developmental research and policy frameworks. Future studies should explore the impact of sibling loss and disability on child development and consider cross-cultural longitudinal studies to refine intervention strategies. Addressing these gaps will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of sibling influence and inform policies that foster healthier developmental outcomes.
