Abstract Despite limited studies have found the negative relationships between calling and mental health symptoms, its
underlying mechanism is still unknown. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory (COR), this study
developed the resources model that explains the relationships between career calling, anxiety and depression,
and the underlying mechanism. With a sample of 628 employees from the two-wave survey, the theorized model
was tested. The results showed that career calling was able to decrease the levels of employees’ anxiety and depression, and two important resources (i.e., personal growth, and meaningful work) provided explanatory mechanisms for the relationships. The findings highlight the… More >

Abstract This research is designed to investigate the relationship between the 24-h movement guidelines (24-HMG) and
self-reported academic achievement (AA) using nationally representative data derived from the 2019 U.S.
National Youth Risk Behaviour Survey. A multiple-stage cluster sampling procedure has been adopted to ensure
a representative sample (N = 9127 adolescents; mean age = 15.7 years old; male% = 49.8%). Logistic regression
has been adopted to obtain the odds ratio (OR) regarding the associations between adherence to 24-HMG and AA
while controlling for ethnicity, body mass index, sex and age. The prevalence of meeting the 24-h movement
guidelines in isolation and… More >

Abstract An individual’s perception, attitude, feeling and behavior about their body are important factors for mental health
(depression). This study aims to explore the impact of body investment on depression, and the role of self-efficacy
and self-esteem in this connection. A hypothetical model about the relationship between body investment, selfefficacy, self-esteem and depression was tested. Using convenient sampling methods, a self-rated cross-sectional
survey comprised of paper-based and online modes was conducted among 1,164 college students in Yunnan Province, China from July 2021 to August 2021. The data collection used the body investment scale, self-efficacy
scale, self-esteem scale and depression scale. The… More >

Abstract Social emotional literacy (SEL) interventions are widely implemented through schools, with growing evidence for a range of positive child outcomes. Increasingly, such interventions are delivered on online platforms. To date, there is limited evidence about digital SEL interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of children, parents and facilitator of the potential value of addressing SEL via tailored digital intervention. The intervention was designed to help children, in Brazil, to cope during the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The intervention was delivered via a digital platform to groups of… More >

Abstract As industries develop, fire disasters and their associated damage are increasing. Investigating the mental health of victims is imperative because this is an essential issue for community recovery after a disaster. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of a program implemented by a community mental health center based on the investigation of the victims’ depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) levels immediately after the disaster and at one-year follow-up. As a result, victims’ depression and PTSD recovered over time, and more changes were confirmed. In particular, the high-risk group for PTSD showed a high program participation rate, and… More >

Abstract This study investigated the impact of social media and media on children’s body satisfaction in early childhood. The effect of social media and media on children’s body image and differences between girls’ and boys’ acceptance of their body image were explored.
