This study aimed to examine the effect of the depression on fatigue among university students by mediating smartphone overuse, which would be expected to help to lead healthy school life. Participants were composed of the 193 university students and performed a self-report questionnaire including depression, fatigue, smartphone overdependence, and demographic characteristics. Data was analyzed using SPSS 25.0 along with the PROCESS macro program. The main findings were as follows. Depression had a significant effect on fatigue among university students (F=8.180, p<.001), and smartphone overdependence was significantly mediated between depression and fatigue (B=.120, p<.001). These findings suggest that psychological aspects should be considered when developing intervention programs aimed at reducing fatigue levels of university students.

This study examined the conditional indirect effect of EEG (electroencephalogram) arousal on the relationship among affective valence, visual attention, perceived self-relevance, and attitudes toward campaign issues in the context of public service announcements (PSAs). Using SPSS macro (No. 14) of conditional process model, the findings in this current study indicated that the perceived self-relevance mediates the relationship between affective valence of PSA and attitudes toward issues and, in turn, is moderated by EEG arousal, indicating goodness-of-fit of the moderated mediation of psychophysiological arousal on PSAs. The results suggested that management of PSAs should be considered the strategic combination between affective valence and perceived self-relevance in advertising appeals.

PROCESS, a SPSS macro program developed by Hayes (2013). The findings are as follows. First, there were significant correlations between non-sociability and dependency, self-criticism, non-self-assertiveness, over-consideration, dominance, personal relations, emotion control, and optimism. Second, ego-resilience was found to moderate the relationship between depressive vulnerability and non-self- assertiveness, over-consideration, and dominance among university students. This study suggests that intervention to address ego-resilience are important to resolve the interpersonal problems of university students.
