Physical activity has emerged as a promising strategy for improving mental health outcomes. This systematic review examined the effects of structured physical activity and exercise interventions on mental health outcomes, addressing the growing need for effective non-pharmacological strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and PsycINFO…
Objectives: Teachers’ well-being significantly impacts schools, educators, and students. Many negative effects of low well-being are widely recognised, with stress and burnout linked to attrition and teacher shortages globally. In Portugal, a country with a severe lack of teachers, attention to teacher well-being is crucial for the long-term sustainability of the profession. This study aims to understand teachers’ professional well-being. Specifically, it seeks to (1) clarify well-being, the sense of belonging, and autonomy within the school…
Backgrounds: The Fading Affect Bias (FAB) is the faster fading of unpleasant than pleasant affect for autobiographical event memories, which is positively and negatively related to adaptive (e.g., grit) and non-adaptive measures (e.g., depression), respectively. In contrast to the reasonable expectation that maladaptive alcohol consumption should negatively predict the FAB, no such overall relation was found in the only study to examine it. Instead, alcohol consumption positively predicted the FAB for alcohol events and negatively predicted…
Objectives: Drawing on the motivational perspective of the social comparison theory and the relevant literature on trait self-compassion, the objective of this research article is to examine that, during young adults’ passive social media use, how their trait self-compassion is related to their self-improvement or self-destruction motivations, which in turn are related to their assimilative or contrastive upward social comparison, which correspondingly is related to their positive or negative psychological well-being. Methods: the current study administered…
Backgrounds: Left-behind children are particularly vulnerable to emotional and social maladjustment due to prolonged parental absence, yet the psychological mechanisms linking interpersonal disturbance to their psychological security remain insufficiently understood. Guided by the Conservation of Resources Theory, this research aims to explore how interpersonal disturbance influcence psychological security among left-behind children, specifically through the serial mediation effect of resilience and self-esteem. Methods: Survey questionnaires were distributed via convenience sampling to left-behind children whose age ranging from…
Backgrounds: Youth living in food-insecure households show greater vulnerability to psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety and depression. Although physical activity and sedentary behavior are established correlates of youth mental health, their associations within the context of food insecurity households remain understudied. This study examines how physical activity and sedentary behavior relate to depression and anxiety risk among children residing in food-insecure households. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2021–2022 National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), focusing on…
Background: Life satisfaction represents a core indicator of subjective well-being among university students. Yet the mechanisms linking adult attachment orientations to life satisfaction have not been fully elucidated, particularly within Chinese cultural contexts. Integrating Attachment Theory with Self-Determination Theory, this study aims to investigate how attachment anxiety and avoidance are associated with life satisfaction, with autonomy, competence, and relatedness proposed as parallel mediators. Methods: Using multi-stage stratified random sampling, 488 Chinese university students (48.0% male; Meanage =…
Background: Despite growing concerns about the mental health of professional military personnel, little is known about protective factors for mental health among military officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs). The present study aimed to examine the differential and interaction effects of extrinsic and intrinsic protective factors on depression and mental well-being among Korean professional military personnel. Methods: A total of 500 Korean officers and NCOs completed a self-administered questionnaire that assessed extrinsic factors (salary satisfaction, work environment…
Background: Literature suggests that physical activity has a preventive effect on depressive symptoms, yet the association between the intensity of physical activity (a core element of physical activity) and depressive symptoms remains unclear. This study explores this association between physical activity intensity and depressive symptoms in college students. Methods: Using a cohort study design, a 3-year follow-up survey was conducted from 2017–2020 among 1415 college students (1108 females, 78.3%; 307 males, 21.7%) from Shenyang Normal University…
Background: Internet addiction and depression are important mental health concerns among adolescents. Although prior research has examined their bidirectional relationship, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, this study examined their bidirectional relationship and tested the mediating role of self-control, with attention to gender differences. Methods: A two-wave longitudinal survey (T1: November 2021; T2: May 2022) was conducted in China among 1908 adolescents (1026 females, 882 males; mean age = 13.546, SD…
Objectives: Postmenopausal women experience hormonal and psychosocial changes that can affect emotion regulation. Although exercise may enhance cognitive control during emotion regulation, evidence on prefrontal activation in this population is limited. This study examined whether acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise influences emotion regulation and prefrontal activation in postmenopausal women. Methods: Postmenopausal women (≥12 months since last menstruation) were randomised to a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise condition or a time-matched sedentary control condition (n = 102). Analyses included participants with…
Background: Reducing mental illness stigma is critical for mental health literacy enhancement in China, where stigmatization remains pronounced among undergraduates. Imaginative empathy is a promising anti-stigma intervention, but its specific effects and the potential moderating role of gender remain under-explored. Methods: Three studies were conducted with 18–22-year-old Chinese undergraduates. Study 1 (n = 223, survey design) explored gender’s moderation on empathy-stigma links. Study 2 (n = 217, 2 × 2 × 3 mixed design) tested the…
Objectives: Psychological resilience is crucial to individual adaptation. Prior variable-based studies ignored node interactions. This study used network and regression approaches to analyze associations among physical activity, social support and college students’ psychological resilience, screening core nodes and intervention targets. Methods: A total of 969 college students were investigated via cross-sectional survey. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Social Support Scale (SSS), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were adopted to measure physical activity,…
Background: Large-scale earthquakes may substantially affect university students’ psychological functioning, motivation, and overall well-being. Understanding these multidimensional psychosocial processes is essential for developing effective post-disaster mental health and physical activity interventions. This study examined psychological well-being, post-earthquake trauma symptoms, recreational sport well-being, and sport motivation among university students studying in Türkiye’s earthquake-affected region. In addition, demographic and contextual factors were explored to better understand psychosocial differences in post-disaster adaptation. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed with…
Human Motion Kinetics Recognition (HMKR) plays a pivotal role in advancing intelligent monitoring systems for public safety, machine interaction, and elderly-care technologies. Despite the increasing availability of affordable Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), achieving accurate full-body motion analysis remains challenging due to sensor noise and variability across real-world environments. Addressing these limitations requires robust processing strategies capable of handling complex inertial time-series data. This research introduces an optimized HMKR system that leverages a comprehensive pipeline focusing…
