文摘This study explored the relationship between perceived social support and employment anxiety among Chinese college students,as well as the mediating and moderating effects of psychological resilience and career adaptability on this relationship.A total of 1928 college students(females=1371,mean age=20.42,SD=1.05)completed the Perceived Social Support Scale,Employment Anxiety Questionnaire,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale.Mediation analysis results showed that psychological resilience mediated the relationship between perceived social support and employment anxiety for lower employment anxiety.Career adaptability moderated the mediating effect of psychological resilience for lower employment anxiety than with either of the variables alone.Thefindings are consistent with cognitive diathesis-stress theory and career construction theory which propose that individuals’cognitive structures and psychological predispositions interact with environmental stressors to shape their career development and psychological well-being.Essentially,students who have a robust social support system,high career adaptability,and are psychologically resilient are less likely to experience employment anxiety.

文摘Background:Although previous studies indicate that perceived social support might be associated with adolescent psychological problems,the specific mechanism has not been thoroughly discussed.Based on theoretical and empirical research on problematic Internet use(PIU)and sleep quality,this study explored whether they play a mediating role between perceived social support and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adolescents.Furthermore,we investigated whether these relationships varied by place of residence.Methods:A sample of 2115 Chinese adolescents was included,and analyzed data related to perceived social support,PIU,sleep quality,symptoms of depression and anxiety,and sociodemographic variables.Correlation analysis,mediation,and moderation analysis were mainly used.Results:Perceived social support was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms(r=−0.22,p<0.001)and anxiety symptoms(r=−0.20,p<0.001)among adolescents.PIU and sleep quality played a chain mediating role in the relationship between perceived social support and symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents.Additionally,the place of residence moderated the relationships between perceived social support and PIU and symptoms of depression and anxiety.Perceived social support was a significant negative predictor of PIU and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adolescents in urban areas but not in rural areas.Conclusion:The findings suggest that low levels of perceived social support may lead to more PIU and poorer sleep quality,which may further increase the risk of symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents,especially in urban areas.
文摘BACKGROUND Depression is a common mental disorder among adolescents,characterized by a high rate of suicide and self-harm,which not only is devastating to families but also has a negative impact on society.Psychological factors such as impulsive personality,perceived chronic social adversity(PCSA),and sense of security are closely associated with suicide risk in adolescents with depression.Few studies have been conducted on the relationship between these factors.AIM To explore the impact of impulsive personality on suicide risk in adolescents with depression and the chain mediating effect between PCSA and sense of security.METHODS This study is a retrospective study.A total of 200 adolescents with depression who visited the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 comprised the study cohort.The PCSA scale,Security Questionnaire,Barratt Impulsiveness Scale,and Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation were used to evaluate depression.RESULTS Suicide risk was positively correlated with impulsive personality and PCSA(P<0.05),whereas sense of security was negatively correlated with suicide risk,impulsive personality,and PCSA(P<0.05).The total indirect effect of PCSA and sense of security on impulsive personality and suicide risk was 35.43%,with the mediating effect of PCSA and sense of security contributing 16.53%and 15.75%,respectively.PCSA and sense of security exhibited a chain mediating effect between impulsive personality and suicide risk,accounting for 3.15%.CONCLUSION The suicide risk of adolescents with depression is significantly associated with impulsive personality,PCSA,and sense of security.Impulsive personality affects the suicide risk of adolescents with depression both directly and indirectly,with the latter occurring via PCSA and sense of security.

文摘This study examined how perceived human-computer interaction(HCI)is related to employees’helping behaviors with role breadth self-efficacy and digital fluency.An online scenario experiment(study 1;female=61.3%;mean age=30.79 years;bachelor’s degree=68.7%)and a questionnaire survey(study 2;male=44.2%;younger than 30 years=50.6%;bachelor’s degree=61.5%)found that perceived HCI exerts a significant positive indirect effect on employee helping behavior through improved role breadth self-efficacy.This positive indirect effect is stronger when employee digital fluency is high.Findings are consistent with social cognitive theory,which proposes that the relationship among environment,individual cognition,and behavior is mutually determined,and the influence of environment on individual behavior varies with individual characteristics.The findings imply a need for employer organizations to create favorable human-computer interaction environment for employees’digital fluency to promote role breadth self-efficacy and helping behavior in the digital age.

文摘This study examined the relationship between leader-employee calling congruence on employees’voice behaviour.Participants were 173 leader-employee dyads from the Chinese service industry.They completed online surveys on calling,perceived insider status,and voice behaviour.Results from polynomial regression and response surface analysis showed that employees perceived insider status to be weaker with the low leader-low subordinate calling congruence,and stronger with high leader and high subordinate calling congruence.Employees perceived insider status is stronger in low leader and high subordinate calling incongruence compared with high leader and low subordinate calling incongruence.Perceived insider status plays a mediating role among calling congruence and voice behaviour.This study’sfindings suggest pathways of calling congruence on voice behaviour,which are important for promoting employee voice behaviour and guiding organisational recruitment in the workplace.
文摘This study explored how perceived social support(PSS)influences the sense of meaning in life(SML)among rural college students,considering positive coping styles(PCS)as a mediator and psychological resilience(PR)as a moderator.1444 college students(females;23.55%only child;M_(age)=19.76 years,SD=1.07;76.66%)were recruited from Jilin province in China.The college students self-reported their perceived social support and positive coping styles,psychological resilience,and sense of meaning in life.The results indicated that higher perceived social support predicted higher college students’sense of meaning in life.Perceived social support positively contributes to college students’sense of meaning in life through the mediating role of positive coping styles.Psychological resilience moderates the first path of the indirect association,where the positive effect of perceived social support on positive coping styles is more pronounced in college students with higher psychological resilience compared to those with lower psychological resilience.These align with Social Support Theory and Psychological Resilience Theory.That is,individuals with effective social support systems can enhance their positive coping styles,thereby increasing their sense of meaning in life,while psychological resilience strengthens the positive impact of perceived social support on positive coping styles.These findings offer the evidence for intervening and supporting the development of college students’sense of meaning in life.To enhance rural college students’sense of meaning in life,it is essential to establish a comprehensive social support system,promote the development of positive coping styles,and provide targeted training to strengthen psychological resilience.
文摘With the rapid development of the digital age,the perceived value of private consumers has changed to varying degrees,which has a profound impact on consumption stickiness.Based on the existing research results,this study constructs a model with four dimensions of perceived value as mechanism variables(namely,perceived functional value,perceived emotional value,perceived economic value,and perceived social value),and studies the influence of private domain consumers’perceived value on consumption sticky behavior in the digital age.The empirical study finds that private domain consumers’perceived functional value,perceived emotional value,and perceived economic value positively affect consumption sticky behavior,showing a relationship that sticky behavior increases with the increase of the above three dimensions,while private domain consumers’perceived social value has a negative effect.

文摘Carpooling is a sustainable,economical,and environmentally friendly solution to reduce air pollution and ease traffic congestion in urban areas.However,existing regret theories lack consideration of the heterogeneity of attribute perception in different ways and the psychological factors that affect regret,so they cannot accurately portray urban residents’carpool travel decisions and cannot provide a correct explanation of the actual carpool choice behavior.In this paper,based on the analysis of classical random regret minimization models and random regret minimization models considering heterogeneity,the concept of psychological distance is introduced to address shortcomings of the existing models and construct an improved random regret minimization model considering heterogeneity and psychological distance.The results show that the fit and explanatory effect of the improved model proposed in this paper is better than that of the other two models.The psychological distance of travel residents during the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19)affects the anticipated regret value and the willingness to carpool.The model can better describe the carpool travel choice mechanism of travelers and effectively explain the carpool travel choice behavior of travelers.
文摘Estimated at more than 2.2 million cases worldwide,most breast cancer cases and deaths from breast cancer occur in low and middle-income countries.In Cameroon,many studies have underlined the effect of knowledge of breast cancer on screening measures such as self-examination and,to a lesser extent,the perception of the threat of this disease.This research aims to assess according to the Health Belief Model(HBM),the moderating effect of perceived threat of breast cancer on the relation between knowledge and breast self-examination.A questionnaire survey was conducted among 517 Cameroonian women to assess their general knowledge about breast cancer(risk factors and screening measures),their level of the perceived threat of breast cancer through Perceived susceptibility and severity,and the prevalence of breast self-examination amongst them.A regression analysis using the Macro Process for moderation indicates the main effect of Perceived threat(b=0,29;t(517)=2,36;p=0,02)of breast cancer and knowledge(b=0,02;t(517)=4,29;p<0,001)on breast self-examination.Results also confirm that the perceived threat of breast cancer moderates the effect of knowledge on breast self-examination.While the low level of perceived threat highlights the effect of knowledge on breast self-examination(b=0,02;t(517)=3,49;p<0,001),the high level of perceived threat cancels that effect(b=0,01;t(517)=1,97;p=0,01).A woman who perceives severity and susceptibility to breast cancer is more inclined to perform breast self-examination.This result suggests the importance of taking into account,in a context where knowledge of breast cancer is limited,relevant factors of the health belief model in preventive measures against breast cancer in general and the practice of breast self-examination in particular.
文摘BACKGROUND Accreditation processes are extensively employed to guarantee the quality of higher education institutions.However,this process can potentially generate a stressful atmosphere for staff,thus impacting their ability to perform optimally under pressure.AIM To examine the knowledge of the National Commission for Academic Assessment and Accreditation(NCAAA)and its effects on perceived stress among dental college staff before and after the program accreditation process.METHODS The present cross-sectional questionnaire-based study included 300 employees from three dental colleges.The same employees had to fill out the questionnaire 1 mo after the NCAAA process.RESULTS Approximately 51.33%of the included employees believed that NCAAA is essential to attract quality students to join the program before and after the program.A total of 44.67%felt that their stress was high before,and 31.33%had low stress levels before and after NCAAA.These findings were statistically significant(P≤0.05).CONCLUSION NCAAA raised the prestige of the institution and specific programmes and increased prospects to attract better students,staff,and money,according to the employees.In addition to their needed teaching,research,and other service responsibilities,this work requires a tremendous amount of faculty effort and may cause them stress.
文摘Background:With public health emergencies(PHE)worldwide increasing,the perceived risk of PHE has been one of the critical factors influencing college students’psychological distress.However,the mechanisms by which the perceived risk of PHE affects college students’psychological distress are not clear.The study’s purpose was to investigate the mediation roles of deviation from a balanced time perspective(DBTP)and negative coping styles between the perceived risk of PHE and psychological distress.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to survey 1054 Chinese college students with self-reporting.Data was collected using the Public Risk Perception Scale(PRPS),the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory(ZTPI),the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire(SCSQ),the PHE Anxiety Scale,and the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ).The associations between the perceived risk of PHE,DBTP,negative coping styles,and psychological distress were clarified using the correlation analysis.Additionally,the mediating roles of DBTP and negative coping styles between the perceived risk of PHE and psychological distress were investigated using a structural equation model.Results:The findings revealed low to moderate correlations between the variables studied.Students’perceived risk of PHE was a positive predictor of their psychological distress(b=0.219,p<0.01).DBTP and negative coping styles played chain mediation roles between them with the effect being 0.009 and a 95%Boot CI of[0.003,0.023].This chain mediation model had an excellent fit index(χ^(2)/df=4.732,CFI=0.973,TLI=0.930,RMSEA=0.048,SRMR=0.047).Conclusion:These findings showed how the perceived risk of PHE affected college students’psychological distress.Specifically,these results suggested that improving students’mental ability to switch effectively among different time perspectives depending on task features and situational considerations and reducing their negative coping styles might be effective ways to promote their mental health.
