The current study aimed to identify the level of cognitive dissonance among Al al-Bayt students in Jordan in terms of gender, academic major, and academic level. It also aimed to reveal the predictive ability of cognitive dissonance for academic engagement. The study sample consisted of 265 male and female students from Jordan. The study used the cognitive dissonance scale developed by Al-Adamat and Atoum (2023), and the academic engagement scale developed by Diab (2014) to collect the data. The results of the study indicated that the level of cognitive dissonance was moderate. They also showed that there are no statistically significant differences in the level of cognitive dissonance in terms of gender and academic major, while there are statistically significant differences in the level of cognitive dissonance in terms of academic level and in favor of the third- and fourth-year students. Additionally, the results indicated that cognitive dissonance contributed to predicting a percentage of 10.2% of the variance in academic engagement.

This study sought to identify the levels of academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustment among Hashemite University students and to reveal whether there are any differences in the psychological and social adjustment attributable to the variables of gender, college, and academic level. Moreover, the study examined the correlation between academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustment. The study recruited (350) students from Hashemite University. The Academic Procrastination and the Psychological and Social Adjustment scales were utilised to achieve the objectives. The findings showed that (65.1%) of the students had a medium level of academic procrastination, and (4.6%) of the students had substantial levels and a moderate level of psychological and social adjustment. The results demonstrated that the gender variable contributed to statistically significant differences in the degree of psychological and social adjustment. Finally, academic procrastination and psychological and social adjustments were found to be negatively and statistically significantly correlated. The study recommends providing support to university students, by helping them identify the challenges they face, find solutions for them, and overcome them with the aim of achieving their ambitions, in a way that enhances their psychological and social adjustment.

الأهداف: هَدَفَتْ هذه الدّراسة التعرف إلى مستوى الإدمان على مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة، وجودة النّوم، ودرجة الإسهام النسبي للإدمان على مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة (الريلز) في جودة النّوم لدى طلبة الجامعة. المنهجية: استخدم في هذه الدّراسة المنهج الوصفي التنبّؤي. تكونت عينة الدّراسة من (351) طالبا وطالبة من طلبة جامعة آل البيت، تمّ اختيارهم بالطريقة المُتيسرة. ولِتَحَقيقِ أهدافِ الدّراسة تمّ استخدام مِقْيَاسَ الاعتماد على مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة من إعداد جيانغ وزملاؤه (Jiang et al., 2025)، ومقْياس جودة النوم من إعداد يي وزملائه (Yi et al., 2006). النتائج: أظهرت نتائج الدّراسة أنّ مستوى إدمان مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة (الكلي) جاء (متوسطًا) على جميع الأبعاد، وأنّ مستوى جودة النوم الكلي -أيضًا- جاء (متوسطًا) على جميع الأبعاد. كما أظهرت النتائج أنّ المُتغيّراتِ المتنبئة والمتمثلة في الإدمان على مقاطع الفيديو القصيرة بأبعاده، ومدة استخدام الإنترنت في اليوم الواحد، فسّروا ما نسبته (44.3٪) من التباين في المُتغيّر المتنبأ به وهو جودة النوم. كما بيّنت النّتائج أنّ بُعد (الخداع، والهروب) أسهم ما نسبته (32.1٪) من التباين في جودة النوم، في حين ساهمت (مدة استخدام الإنترنت...

Objectives: This study investigated the level of moral identity and cyberbullying among students of Al-Hussein Bin Talal University and determines if there are differences in moral identity based on factors such as gender, academic level, college, and interactions between these factors. It also aims to reveal the predictive ability of moral identity of cyberbullying. Methods: The study sample consisted of (328) male and female students at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. They were chosen using a convenience sampling method. In addition, scales of moral identification and cyberbullying measures were utilised to achieve the goals of this study. Results: The results indicated that cyberbullying was low, and that moral identity was at a medium degree. The findings also demonstrated significant gender-related differences in the level of moral identity favouring females. However, the variables of college, and academic level did not significantly affect the level of moral identity, nor did their interaction produce any significant differences. Additionally, the findings indicated that moral identity explained 16.5% of online bullying. Conclusions: The study recommended focusing on strategies and programmes that emphasise values and the practice of ethical behaviour to support the formation of moral identity among university students, particularly among males.

This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of moral intelligence in academic entitlement in Al al-Bayt University students and to determine its level among them. It also sought to determine whether differences in academic entitlement are attributable to gender, type of college, and academic level. Two measures were utilised to achieve the study objectives. A total of (404) male and female students were recruited for this study using the convenience sample method. The level of moral intelligence and academic entitlement was found to be high. The findings showed statistically significant differences in the level of academic entitlement attributed to the gender variable (females) and statistically significant differences in academic entitlement in the college variable (scientific colleges). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in the level of academic entitlement due to the academic level variable. Moral intelligence contributed to explaining (47.1%) of the variance in academic entitlement.

Objective: The current study aimed to provide psychometric properties for a new measure of cognitive dissonance. The study also aimed to find out the level of cognitive dissonance for university students according to the variables of gender, specialization, and academic level. Method: The study sample consisted of (496) male and female students from Al al-Bayt University, Jordan. The scale was built based on Festinger's theory, and the original cognitive dissonance scale developed by Cassel, Chow & Reiger. (2001), by providing realistic life situations that allow students to choose alternatives that reflect their tendency towards cognitive dissonance in real life situations. Indicators of validity and reliability were derived, and the dimensions and items of the scale were verified through confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The results indicated that there was a medium level of cognitive dissonance according to the total score and all dimensions of the scale. Also, significant differences in cognitive dissonance were found in terms of students’ specialization and academic level. Conclusions: The study recommends that researchers and educational administrations at secondary schools and universities use the current scale for research and diagnostic purposes and try to develop training and treatment programs to reduce the state of cognitive dissonance.
