The Relationship

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of grit on the relationship between stress and smartphone addiction among adolescents. Participants were 605 Korean students from age 12 to 16 (mean age = 13.97 years). Stress was assessed using the Daily Hassles Scales for Children in Korea developed by Han and Yoo (1995). Grit was measured by the Korean translated version of the Original Grit Scale (Duckworth et al., 2007; Park et al., 2020), and smartphone addiction was measured by using the Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale for Youth developed by the National Information Society Agency (2011). The mediating effect was analyzed by using PROCESS macro version 3.5, and bootstrapping was conducted to test the significance of the mediating effect. The results showed that adolescent's stress and grit significantly influenced smartphone addiction. Also, grit partially mediated the relationship between stress and smartphone addiction. This means that high levels of stress reduced grit, which in turn increased smartphone addiction proneness among adolescents. In addition, two factors of grit (consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) both mediated the association between stress and smartphone addiction. The current study is meaningful in that it is the first study to empirically investigate adolescent's grit in relation to stress and smartphone addiction. Moreover, this study can provide useful information about prevention and intervention strategies for smartphone addiction.

Suicide Risk Factors

Every year, more people in the world die from suicide than from homicide and wars combined. Efforts to reduce suicide have made several advances. Research has identified numerous suicide risk factors, and, though small in number, effective prevention and intervention strategies have been identified. Social workers are likely to encounter suicidal clients in their work, requiring suicide assessment and intervention skills.

Abstract Rape stereotypes involve the assault of young women due to sexual desire, resulting in the exclusion of older adults from sexual violence research, policies, and interventions, suggesting a need to further knowledge in this area (Bows & Westmarland, 2015). Debates also persist on the prevalence and nature of elder sexual abuse (ESA), where it occurs, and its most common perpetrators (Bows, 2018). Thus a systematic scoping review was conducted to explore the nature and prevalence of ESA as well as mandated prevention and intervention strategies to guide practice, policy, research and education on prevention. Eligible sources were research-based and focused on the nature of ESA along with legal prevention and/or intervention mandates. In total, 38 peer-reviewed articles and reports were screened in for review, obtained from AgeLine, EBSCO, Clinical Key Flex, PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar databases. Findings suggest while consensus has not been reached (Bows, 2018), ESA estimates range from 0.2% to 7% of U.S. elder abuse cases, yet actual rates are likely much higher due to underreporting (Cannell et al., 2014). Additionally, results suggest ESA most often occurs in nursing homes, predominantly perpetrated by staff or residents (Ramsey-Klawsnik et al., 2008). Still, ESA remains underreported despite several mandated approaches to prevention and intervention (Payne, 2010). Thus findings demonstrate a need for reliable estimates of prevalence, location as well as common victim-perpetrator relations and awareness of required steps toward prevention and intervention (Payne, 2010). Beyond this, transdisciplinary efforts are needed to yield effective training, education, and culturally appropriate resources.

This article examines the cultural sources of underreported suicide deaths in South Korea. It analyzes two sets of suicide data compiled by two different government agencies. Noting the considerable undercounting of suicide deaths compiled by the National Statistical Office, it explores how the underreporting is linked to the Confucian norm of familism. Despite an effort to improve the quality of official suicide data, a reform in the death system is needed in order to gather accurate data for a better understanding of the increased suicides as well as for the development of more effective suicide prevention and intervention strategies.
