The current international society is experiencing a profound reorganization and transition in values. All kinds of new interactions under the context of globalization have resulted in the development of the current norms of international human rights, which are constructed on the basis of law and ethics. Therefore, analyzing the dynamic factors of socialization that support the operation of human rights norms in international society has become increasingly important in today＇s mutually dependent society.展开更多

On the basis of the micro survey data on China's 12 provinces,we analyze the intensity of demand for agricultural socialized service in different regions as well as the main factors influencing farmers' demand willingness. The results show that there are regional differences in farmers' demand for agricultural socialized service,and among multiple factors affecting the demand willingness of agricultural socialized service,farmers' individual characteristics,household economic characteristics and farmers' social communication behavior have varying degrees of impact on farmers' choice of service.展开更多

文摘Background:In the Chinese context,the impact of short video applications on the psychological well-being of older adults is contested.While often examined through a pathological lens of addiction,this perspective may overlook paradoxical,context-dependent positive outcomes.Therefore,the main objective of this study is to challenge the traditional Compensatory Internet Use Theory by proposing and testing a chained mediation model that explores a paradoxical pathway from social support to life satisfaction via problematic social media use.Methods:Data were collected between July and August 2025 via the Credamo online survey platform,yielding 384 valid responses from Chinese older adults aged 60 and above.Key constructs were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS),Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale(BSMAS),Simplified UCLA Loneliness Scale,and Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS).A chained mediation model was tested using stepwise regression and non-parametric bootstrapping(5000 resamples),controlling for age,gender,household income,and health status.Results:The analysis revealed a paradoxical pathway,which was clarified by a key statistical suppression effect.Social support significantly and positively predicted problematic usage(β=0.157,p=0.002).After controlling for the suppressor effect of social support,problematic usage in turn negatively predicted social connectedness(β=−0.177,p<0.001).Finally,reduced social connectedness—reflecting a state of solitude—positively predicted life satisfaction(β=−0.227,p<0.001).Conclusion:The findings suggest that for older adults with sufficient offline social support,these resources may serve a“social empowerment”function.This empowerment allows behaviors measured as“problematic usage”to be theoretically reframed as a form of“deep immersive entertainment”.This immersion appears to occur alongside a state of“high-quality solitude”,which ultimately is associated with higher life satisfaction.This study provides a novel,non-pathological theoretical perspective on the consequences of high engagement with emerging social media,offering empirical grounds for non-abstinence-based intervention strategies.
文摘This study investigated the effects of parental involvement,parenting stress,and social support on the social skills of school-aged children(6-18 years old)with intellectual disabilities(ID).Data were collected from 280 Chinese parents(mothers=70.0%,fathers=30.0%)of children with ID through purposive sampling and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling(PLS-SEM).The results indicated that parental involvement not only directly enhanced children’s social skills but also indirectly improved them by alleviating parenting stress,which acted as a partial mediator.Contrary to the stress-buffering hypothesis,social support did not moderate the negative impact of parenting stress on social skills.Theoretically,this study contributes by validating ecological systems theory through a shift in focus from individual deficits to family systems,while also challenging the conventional view of stress-buffering theory.Accordingly,parent-support programs should integrate practical involvement training with systematic stress reduction and provide tailored assistance such as behavior-management training and respite care.

文摘Dear Editor,Serotonin(5-HT),a pivotal neuromodulator,plays a central role in the social impairments characteristic of autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Clinical evidence reveals elevated blood 5-HT levels and reduced serotonin transporter(5-HTT)availability in ASD patients[1],implicating serotonergic dysregulation in social behavior.
