This study aims to examine the structural pressures, psychological dilemmas, and pathways of positive resilience experienced by sexual minorities in rural China under persistent…
Backgrounds: Alpha-mom blog refers to social media posts that portray mothers who excel at domestic life and childcare, presenting an idealized image of the perfect mother. The popularity of the Alpha-mom blog has led to increased academic interest in the impact on maternal psychology. Based on Self-Determination Theory, this study aims to explain the relationship between Alpha-mom blog use, parenting self-efficacy, perceived social support, and mothers’ mental health. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey with 649 Chinese…
Backgrounds: In the digital era, smartphone-driven phubbing behavior has become increasingly prevalent among teachers and may contribute to insomnia. Psychological distress has been identified as a potential mechanism linking maladaptive technology use to sleep problems; however, this mediating pathway has not been examined longitudinally. Furthermore, gender differences in these associations remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the longitudinal relationship between phubbing behavior and insomnia, the mediating role of psychological distress, and the moderating role of…
Background: Stigma affects the mental well-being of cancer survivors. However, data are scarce regarding the extent to which specific types of stigmas, enacted stigma (stigma from others), and self-stigma (internalized stigma), affect mental well-being. The objective of this study is to describe the extent to which overall illness-related stigma, self-stigma, and enacted stigma are associated with mental well-being among cancer survivors. Methods: A cross-sectional study in Kunming, Yunnan, China, was conducted. Eligible participants were adult cancer…

Methods: A 10-item scale was developed, based on the ABC framework, to assess mental health promoting behaviours. A total…
Background: Adolescent girls tend to engage in more sedentary behavior than boys, which is associated with adverse physical and psychosocial outcomes, including depression. This study examined the relationships between sedentary behavior, perceived stress, body mass index (BMI), and depressive symptoms among adolescent girls in Indonesia and tested the mediating roles of perceived stress and BMI. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 482 female senior high school students (age 14–20) in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia.…
Objectives: Chinese higher education faces rising depression rates amidst fragmented campus mental health services. This pilot study examined the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of implementing a standardized psychodrama program across multiple university sites. Methods: This single-arm study was conducted across three Beijing universities from September 2024 to January 2025. A total of 27 undergraduates completed an 8-week psychodrama intervention program comprising weekly 2.5-h sessions. A unified protocol was ensured through centralized facilitator training and cross-site supervision.…
Backgrounds: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can increase the likelihood of developing insecure attachment patterns, which in turn may heighten economic concerns and couple dissatisfaction—both generally and particularly in the context of assisted reproduction treatments (ART). These processes together elevate the risk of postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: This study examined psychosocial and relational predictors of PPD in a sample of 149 Spanish women up to 12 months postpartum following ART. (8.1% = artificial insemination with a sperm…
Objectives: This study aims to examine the temporal associations among psychological distress, mindfulness, childbirth trauma, and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms across the first three months postpartum and test whether mindfulness mediates these longitudinal pathways. Methods: This prospective longitudinal cohort study followed Chinese postpartum women at one week (T1), one month (T2), and three months (T3) after childbirth. A total of 210 women completed baseline assessments, with 173 and 148 participants retained at T2 and…
Objectives: Academic anxiety is a prevalent emotional challenge among adolescents and has been linked to intelligence beliefs. Although prior research connects growth mindset to academic anxiety, the role of perceived control remains unclear. This longitudinal study aimed to examine whether sense of control mediates the relationship between growth mindset and academic anxiety in early adolescents. Methods: A three-wave longitudinal design was conducted with 407 early adolescents (Meanage = 13.75, 61.18% female) recruited from two public middle schools…
Backgrounds: The factors influencing emotion regulation choice (ERC) are numerous, raising the question of how to classify them systematically. Methods: This study proposed a framework of four first-order factors—the emotion to be regulated, emotion regulation goals, emotion regulation resources, and psychosocial context—by integrating several key theories of ERC, including the Action Control Theory of Emotion Regulation, the Extended Process Model of Emotion Regulation, the Process-specific Timing Framework Theory, the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation model of Emotion…
Background: Depression is highly prevalent among older adults with chronic diseases such as arthritis or rheumatism. However, little is known about the longitudinal patterns of their depressive symptoms or the role social engagement plays in shaping these trajectories. This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of depressive symptoms among older Chinese adults with arthritis or rheumatism and examine the association between baseline social engagement and these trajectories. Methods: Utilizing five waves of data from the China…
Background: In March 2026, Nigeria’s financial sector experienced a cascading cybersecurity breach that compromised both a commercial bank and the nation’s primary government payment infrastructure.
