Sexual Media Exposure and its Effects on the Academic Engagement of First Year College Students   Sarika Joann Benjamin1, Jang Juyeon1, Ruzzel Jose L. Miclat1, Mark B. Samson2 1Student, Adventist University of the Philippines 2Faculty, Adventist University of the Philippines [email protected]   Introduction: Hours are spent daily on various types of media, and by choice or not, exposure to sexually explicit material may occur. Although there are several studies conducted on the negative effects of sexual media exposure, there is insufficient information regarding its relationship with academic engagement. This study determined the extent of sexual media exposure, degree of academic engagement and the relationship between these aspects among first year college.   Methods: The study utilized a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive- correlational design. A purposive sampling technique was used to gather 101 respondents using specified criteria. Differential and Inferential statistics were used in the study. Specifically, the mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, regression analysis, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis.   Results: The study showed that the extent of sexual media exposure of first year college students in terms of frequency and duration are low. The study also revealed that the students have a high degree of academic engagement of first year college students in terms of affective, behavioral, and cognitive faculties. Further, the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between sexual media exposure and student academic engagement. A weak positive relationship exists between sexual media exposure and affective academic engagement. Furthermore, it showed that there is no significant difference in students' academic engagement when religion is considered. A significant difference exists however in the respondents behavioral, affective, and cognitive academic engagement when nationality and sex were considered. Finally, findings showed that sex and nationality are the best predictors of student academic engagement. Discussion: There is no relationship between sexual media exposure and student academic engagement but a weak relationship is perceived in affective academic engagement. Significant difference are seen in the respondents‘ academic engagement when nationality and sex were considered and they are the predictors of student academic engagement. To sustain high degree academic engagement, exposure to possibly distracting sexual media should be studied.   Keywords: sexual media, academic engagement

Objective: To examine the prevalence and correlates of lifetime cannabis use (i.e., experimental [use 1-5 times] and non-experimental [use ≥ 6 times]) in relation to demographics, interpersonal trauma (IPT), and alcohol and nicotine use.Participants: A large (n = 9,889) representative sample of college students at an urban college campus in the southeastern part of the United States.Methods: Participants were 4 cohorts of first-year college students who completed measures of demographic variables, cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, and IPT. Associations were estimated using multinomial logistic regressions.Results: The prevalence of lifetime cannabis use was 45.5%. Specifically, 28.1% reported non-experimental cannabis use and 17.4% reported experimental cannabis use. Race, cohort, nicotine, and IPT were associated with experimental and non-experimental cannabis use. Additionally, alcohol and sex were associated with non-experimental cannabis use.Conclusions: Results show that cannabis use is prevalent among college students and is associated with race, IPT, and other substance use.
