Abstract There are over thirty million refugees globally with severe experiences of trauma. Art therapy intervention allows
for nonverbal expression and could alleviate mental health symptomatology among refugees. The present review’s
aim was to integrate and summarize the previous research which examined the effects of visual arts on alleviating
psychological conditions of refugees. However, due to the paucity of studies which solely used visual arts, we
included studies that used visual arts alongside other modalities as part of an expressive arts therapy intervention.
The present review synthesizes studies that examined the effect of art therapy on mental health issues of refugees… More >

of questionnaires, including Moral Elevation Scale (MES), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Moral Identity
Scale (MIS) and Prosocial Tendency Measure (PTM). As part of the data analysis, we used correlation analysis
and the method of constructing latent variable structural equation model to explore the mechanism of action

Abstract Because of factors such as energy and time one invests in an object, the stronger the connection, value, and reluctance to lose said object individual will have. Hoarding behavior arises when individuals incorporate a strong
attachment with themselves to an object. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of self-investment
on hoarding tendency and the roles of possession-self link and liking level in this connection. A hypothetical
model of the relationship between self-investment, possession-self link, liking level, and hoarding tendency
was tested. A convenience sampling method was used to survey 450 college students in Yunnan Province on… More >

Abstract Objective: To study the influence of cognition and emotion on moral judgment of college students under the
circumstance of whether the cognitive resources are occupied and whether the emotion is induced. Methods: This
experiment uses a multi-factor mixed experiment method to divide experiments and groups. Experiment 1 uses a
two-factor mixed experimental design of 2 (cognitive resource occupancy group, cognitive resource non-occupied
group) × 3 (difficult situation type). Experiment 2 uses a two-factor mixed experimental design of 2 (emotion
induction group, emotion induction and cognitive resource occupation group) × 3 (three types of dilemma situation types) is adopted. The dependent… More >

Abstract Objectives: This study reviewed published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and evaluated the efficacy of
internet-based acceptance and commitment therapy (IACT) on adolescent mental health. Methods: Searches
were conducted in PubMed, ProQuest, APA (PsycNET/PsycINFO), and Web of Science from inception to January 2022 to identify RCTs evaluating the effects of IACT on adolescents. The included studies were assessed
for quality and risk of bias. This study was performed using the standard mean difference and associated 95%
confidence interval of effective measures. Review Manager 5.4 software was adopted to calculate the effect size.
Results: Compared to adolescents in control groups, those in… More >

Abstract Individuals’ perceptions, attitudes, and patterns of getting along with family members are important factors influencing Chinese people’s self-evaluation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of family cohesion on
depression and the role of perceived social support and intentional self-regulation in this association. A hypothesized model of the association of family cohesion, perceived social support, intentional self-regulation, and
depression was examined. A convenience sampling method was used to survey 1,180 college students in Yunnan

Abstract Background: Adolescents are highly vulnerable to depressive symptoms worldwide partially because of limited
social supports. However, it still remains largely unknown regarding the associations between social support(s)
and depressive symptoms among adolescents living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim
of this study aimed to explore the associations between different types of social support and depressive symptoms
in adolescents from LMICs. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS)
in which 92,551 adolescents (50.6% females) were included with mean of 15.6 years. Depressive symptoms in the
past one month as the dependent variable were measured in… More >
