Abstract Although employers believe that encouraging and supporting physical exercise activities by purchasing fitness equipment and building
sports venues can improve employees’ well-being, the utilization rate is rather low. Since most of the evidence of the well-being promotion
in the workplace concentrated on the perspectives of organizational factors and psychosocial factors and focused on the reduction of the
negative affect of well-being, it is still an open question whether physical exercise has benefits on both negative and positive affect of wellbeing and who benefits more from physical exercise. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of physical… More >

Abstract This study examined factors related to the psychological well-being of older adults and built and verified a model for predicting
psychological well-being. The participants were 350 older adults aged over 60 years who lived in South Korea and were active in the
local community. The model proposed in this study was found to be suitable. Depression, self-efficacy, and social support had a
direct effect on the psychological well-being of older adults, while depression, activities of daily living (ADLs), and self-efficacy had
an indirect effect. Self-efficacy and social support mediated the relationship between depression and psychological well-being, and
self-efficacy mediated the… More >

Abstract While a plethora of studies has been conducted to explore demotivation and its impact on mental health in second language (L2)
education, scanty research focuses on demotivation in L2 speaking learning. Particularly, little research explores the measures to
quantify L2 speaking demotivation. The present two-phase study attempts to develop and validate an English Speaking
Demotivation Scale (ESDS). To this end, an independent sample of 207 Chinese tertiary learners of English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) participated in the development phase, and another group of 188 Chinese EFL learners was recruited for the
validation of the scale. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)… More >

Abstract A significant portion of emerging adults do not achieve recommended levels of physical activity (PA). Previous studies observed
associations between features of emerging adulthood and PA levels, while the potential psychological mechanisms that might
explain this phenomenon are not fully understood. In this context, there is some evidence that situated decisions toward
physical activity (SDPA) and exercise-intensity tolerance might influence PA level. To provide empirical support for this
assumption, the current study investigated whether (i) features of emerging adulthood are linked to SDPA, which, in turn,
might affect PA engagement; (ii) exercise-intensity tolerance moderate the relationship between SDPA and PA… More >

Abstract Background: This study explored the personal recovery of consumers and their caregivers receiving the strength-based family intervention. Method: A three-year project was implemented with 43 dyads from 5 community psychiatric rehabilitation agencies in northern, central, and Southern Taiwan. This paper presents qualitative analysis with a focus on describing the experiences of personal recovery. To gain a deeper understanding of the participants’ personal experiences and perspectives, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted on three occasions (six months after the inception of the experiment, 18 months after, and when the participants left the services of this study). Over the three occasions, a total… 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 promote the development of students’ mental health. Therefore, the relationship between friendship quality
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 >
