Background: As social development accelerates and workforce competition intensifies, uncertainty is increasingly recognized as a core component of contemporary stress, particularly in the rapidly expanding platform (gig) economy. Platform delivery riders operate under algorithmic control, unstable income, and opaque evaluation systems, yet the magnitude and correlates of their uncertainty stress remain under-investigated. This study aimed to quantify the level of uncertainty stress among platform delivery riders and to identify work- and lifestyle-related factors associated with it.…
Backgrounds: As an increasing number of college students rely on Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) in academic work and social interaction, concerns about its potential negative effects have emerged. This study aims to address this gap by examining the relationship between relative deprivation and Gen AI dependency among college students. Methods: This study included 1583 college students. Four validated instruments were employed: the Relative Deprivation Scale, Psychological Entitlement Scale, Self-Handicapping Scale, and Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Dependence…
Background: Adults with developmental disabilities often face reduced structured participation and weakened social networks after leaving school-based systems. Although previous studies have reported positive outcomes of inclusive dance participation, relatively little is known about how belonging, recognition, and identity-related resources are formed through participation and carried into everyday life. This study examined how adults with developmental disabilities perceived and narrated changes in emotion regulation and self-evaluation through participation in an inclusive dance company, and explored how…
Backgrounds: High school is a critical period for psychological development, during which mental health is vulnerable to family environment. According to attachment theory, adolescents exposed to conflicting family environments develop negative internal working models, characterized by doubts about the stability of parental relationships and family support (i.e., negative family representations). These negative representations constitute a cognitive basis for depression risk. However, the mediating and protective mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, the primary purpose of this study is…
Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate how environmental context modulates flow experience, mood states, and brain waves during moderate-intensity cycling. Methods: Fifty healthy adults were initially recruited; four participants withdrew during the study, resulting in a final sample of 46 participants. Flow experience was assessed using the Flow State Scale (FSS), mood states were measured using the Profile of Mood States (POMS), and cortical activity was recorded using a Quick-20 Dry EEG headset. Participants performed…
Background: While social media enhances information accessibility and connectivity, excessive use has prompted research into social media addiction (SMA). However, pathways linking psychological stimuli to addictive behaviors remain unclear. This study examined how boredom proneness, social comparison, and anxiety relate to SMA through two mechanisms: information overload and social media stalking. Within the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework, this research explains how psychological predispositions influence SMA through cognitive and behavioral mechanisms. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 258 active…
Background: Equitable access to early childhood intervention (ECI) remains a persistent systemic challenge in under-resourced and rural communities, particularly for children with global developmental delay (GDD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Community-based rehabilitation programs aim to reduce this disparity by delivering services in naturalistic environments, yet empirical evidence concerning their individualized effectiveness and implementation barriers in rural settings remains limited. Grounded in Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory and family-centered practice, this study aimed to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness…
Backgrounds: Multiple theoretical models emphasize the role of cognitive emotion regulation (CER) in maladaptive technology-related behaviors, including problematic social media use (PSMU). However, empirical findings regarding on the association between CER and PSMU have been inconsistent. Therefore, the present study aimed to systematically synthesize existing evidence on this relationship and to examine potential moderators using a three-level meta-analytic approach. Methods: To clarify the overall relationship and examine potential moderators, the present study conducted a three-level meta-analysis.…
Backgrounds: Anxiety symptoms represent a prevalent mental health challenge among university students, yet accessible and scalable intervention approaches remain limited. This study examined the effectiveness of a structured music education intervention in reducing anxiety symptoms among non-music major university students in China. Methods: Using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, 110 participants experiencing anxiety symptoms were allocated to either an intervention group (n = 55) receiving a 12-week music education program comprising two 90-min…
Backgrounds: Mental health challenges among Chinese emerging adults have increased in recent years, raising concerns about students’ psychological well-being in higher education.

This study aims to examine the effects of a four-week Brain Breaks® exercise program on mental stress, resilience, social support, and physical activity levels among Chinese emerging adults. Methods: Eighty college students (aged 19 ± 1.41…
Background: The role of artificial intelligence in influencing the mental health and well-being of students in higher education has become increasingly significant globally and locally. However, there is still a paucity of research that systematically investigates the effects of artificial intelligence on students’ psychological health and well-being from a comprehensive perspective. Methods: Followed the Prisma 2020 guidelines, this study employs a systematic literature review to examine the impacts of artificial intelligence on college students’ mental health…
Background: Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are increasingly used in psychological assessment to score measures, classify clinical presentations, monitor symptoms, estimate risk, and tailor interventions. Methods: This scoping review maps ANN applications in psychological assessment and diagnosis and examines their relevance to psychiatric practice. A structured search of Scopus and Web of Science, followed by independent screening and data charting by three reviewers, identified 31 studies published between 2020 and 2023. Results: The literature demonstrates broad methodological versatility
The present study examined the association between cybervictimization and sleep quality among university students, focusing on the mediating role of rumination and the moderating role of self-compassion. Participants were 932 students (mean age = 19.74 years; 53.76% female). They completed self-report questionnaires assessing cybervictimization, rumination, self-compassion, and sleep quality. The results from mediation-moderation analysis showed that cybervictimization was positively associated with poorer sleep quality. Rumination mediated this relationship, suggesting that university students exposed to cybervictimization
University entry is a psychologically demanding transition. Adjustment difficulties are a leading mental health concern among Chinese freshmen. This study examined psychological configurations associated with adjustment difficulties among university freshmen. Participants were 356 first-year students (50.6% female; aged 18–20) who completed measures of self-identity exploration, sense of belonging, psychological resilience, neuroticism, extraversion, and adjustment difficulties. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and Necessary Condition Analysis identified configurations. Three risk configurations emerged: resource depletion combining absent identity exploration,…
Concerns about the relationship between short video and dietary restraint are growing, yet few studies focus on the relationship between beauty short video engagement and dietary restraint among young women.
