Abstract This study aims to revise the Belief in a Just World Scale (BJWS) for Chinese college students and test its reliability and validity (construct validity, convergent and divergent validity). Two samples of 546 and 595 college students were selected, respectively, using stratified cluster random sampling. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis and convergent and divergent validity tests were carried out. The results showed that the 13 items of the BJWS have good item discrimination. The corrected item–total correlation in the general belief in a just world subscale was found to range from 0.464 to… More >

Abstract Background: Emerging adulthood is a pivotal life stage, presenting significant psychological and social changes, such as decreased sociability, depression, and other mental health problems. Previous studies have associated these changes with an unhealthy lifestyle. The 24-h movement guidelines for healthy lifestyles have been developed to promote appropriate health behaviors and improve individual wellness. However, the relationship between adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines and different characteristics of Chinese emerging adults is yet to be explored. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines and four characteristics (self-exploration, instability, possibilities, and responsibility) of Chinese… More >

Abstract Social-Emotional Competency (SEC), regarded as a critical psychological resource for individuals to adapt to social environments, is an effective protective factor for students’ mental health, impacting their future success and well-being. Analyzing the impact of SEC on university students’ mental health can offer valuable insights for nurturing talents with healthy psychological and physical development. Based on data from two large-scale surveys of Chinese university students, this study designed two comprehensive Multiple Mediation Models involving SEC, stress, coping strategies, and stress reaction to explore the pathway of emotion nurturing mentality.

Abstract Crises in the past have caused devastating, long-lasting impacts on the global economy. The after-effects always bring some dynamic and rigorous challenges for businesses and governments. Such challenges have always been a point of discussion for scholars. The recent COVID-19 pandemic emaciated the global economy, leaving everyone mired in uncertainty, fear, and psychological impairments. One of the headwind features utilized by consumers during pandemic was panic buying (PB), which must be explored in various contexts for policymakers and practitioners. To address this gap, this study deployed a moderated mediation mechanism, integrating the health belief model (HBM) and competitive arousal theory… More >

Abstract Background: Valid and reliable measures of depressive symptoms are crucial for understanding risk factors, outcomes, and interventions across rural and urban settings. Despite this need, the longitudinal invariance of these measures over time remains understudied. This research explores the structural components of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and examines its consistency across various living environments and temporal stability in a cohort of Chinese teenagers. Method: In the initial phase, 1,042 adolescents furnished demographic details and undertook the CES-D assessment. After a three-month interval, 967 of these participants repeated the CES-D evaluation. The study employed Confirmatory factor analysis… More >

Abstract Father absence has long been a popular issue in the research field of psychology due to its influence on adolescent well-being and
development. Empirical studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of father absence, for example, resulting in disruptions
in prosocial qualities like gratitude and forgiveness. However, the mediating factor between them still remains unclear. Hence, this
study aims to explore the mediating role of resilience in the influence of father absence on gratitude and forgiveness. 1951
participants completed the Revision of the Father Absence Questionnaire, the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, the Gratitude
Questionnaire–6 and the Tendency to Forgive Scale. The results… More >

Abstract The relationship between friendship quality and loneliness belongs to an important aspect of peer relationships
and plays an important role in the individual growth of primary school students. Loneliness will seriously affect
the mental health level of primary school students, and good friendship quality can effectively alleviate loneliness

and loneliness of primary school students based on meta-analysis and the analysis of intervention measures are
proposed. This paper discusses the relationship between the quality of friendship and loneliness of primary school
students through meta-analysis and uses intervention… More >
