This study extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by integrating health empowerment to examine its influence on digital healthcare device adoption among Korean older adults. Specifically, this study aims to investigate how health empowerment is associated with perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and how these perceptions subsequently relate to…
Backgrounds: Children’s mental ill health has risen worldwide in recent years, placing increasing emotional demands not only on autistic children but also on their families. A holistic perspective on supportive therapies besides medical treatment is essential. There is a growing need for research and practice that explore equine-assisted therapy through innovative relational frameworks. This qualitative study had two main aims: first, to understand how parents perceived the social and emotional benefits of their autistic child’s involvement…
Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) has been linked to problematic smartphone use: however, whether different types of SB differentially relate to smartphone addiction risk remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of smartphone addiction risk and the independent associations of mentally active and mentally passive SB—across total, weekday, and weekend estimates—with smartphone addiction scores among Saudi adults. Methods: This cross-sectional, web-based study recruited adults aged 18–65 years residing in Saudi Arabia through social media platforms.…
Backgrounds: The mental health consequences of social media use remain debated. Drawing on the “rich-get-richer” perspective, this study examines whether social media access interacts with perceived social resources to shape depression risk among Chinese students. Methods: We analyze nationally representative data from the 2020 and 2022 waves of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), constructing a two-period unbalanced student panel. High-dimensional fixed effects linear probability models are estimated with province and year fixed effects and province-specific…
Background: Adolescents are highly exposed to digital food-related content, including mukbang videos, yet the psychological consequences of such exposure remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine the association between mukbang viewing and anxiety among adolescents and to investigate the mediating roles of high-caffeine beverages and sugar-sweetened beverages intake. Methods: Data from 51,850 adolescents were drawn from the 2022 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Parallel mediation analyses were conducted using PROCESS Model 4 with 5000…
Backgrounds: Adolescent psychological well-being has become a pressing global concern, with rising levels of emotional distress among youth. Although prior research highlights the positive influence of teacher–student relationships, the underlying mechanisms—particularly the roles of school belonging, moral disengagement, and growth mindset—remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the associations between teacher-student relationship quality and adolescent psychological well-being, examining school belonging and moral disengagement as potential mediators, and growth mindset as a moderator of these relationships. Methods: A…
Background: Bullying victimization (BV) represents a critical public health concern among Chinese adolescents, with significant implications for psychological well-being. Although accumulating evidence underscores the detrimental association between maladaptive parenting practices and increased bullying victimization, the precise mediating mechanisms linking parental psychological control (PPC) to BV remain inadequately elucidated. This study addresses this gap by examining pathways through which PPC and deviant peer affiliation (DPA) jointly influence BV, while accounting for the protective role of self-compassion (SC).…
Background: While parenting is crucial for adolescents’ academic adjustment, few studies have examined how parental autonomy support affects academic burnout or the underlying psychological processes. This study examined the sequential mediating roles of growth mindset and self-esteem in the association between parental autonomy support and academic burnout, using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches. Methods: A total of 1032 Chinese junior and senior high school students were recruited through cluster sampling. Using self-report questionnaires, participants were assessed…
Objectives: Existing research indicates a link between childhood physical abuse (CPA) and adolescent smartphone addiction (SA), yet it primarily relies on cross-sectional data. This leaves the longitudinal developmental pathways, including the mediating role of anxiety and the potential protective role of physical activity (PA), poorly understood and insufficiently examined. This study aimed to examine the longitudinal association between CPA and SA among Chinese middle school students, and to investigate the mediating role of anxiety and the…
Background: Physical exercise is recognized as an effective means of alleviating academic stress, and physical education (PE) classes constitute a primary source of such activity for middle school students. This study aimed to delve into the diversity of PE class participation patterns among these students, examine their relationship with academic stress, and specifically investigate the mediating role of self-compassion in this process. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 849 Chinese middle school students. Data were…
Background: In adolescence, anxiety symptoms are a common mental health problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible chain-mediating functions of fundamental psychological needs satisfaction and self-compassion in the link between adolescent anxiety and parental psychological control. Methods: Convenience sampling was used to pick 8342 middle school pupils from the Chinese regions of Sichuan and Hebei for this cross-sectional study. Participants filled out validated measures of anxiety symptoms, self-compassion, fundamental psychological needs satisfaction,…
Background: Parental overparenting is highly prevalent in current Chinese families, and its psychological influences on adolescent mental health are of great academic and practical concern. However, limited research has examined the potential curvilinear relationship between different dimensions of parental overparenting and adolescent internalizing problems, as well as the moderating roles of adolescent gender and age in these relationships. The purpose of this study was to examine the unique and potentially curvilinear effects of different dimensions of…
Background: The pervasive use of short-form video platforms such as TikTok has introduced unprecedented challenges to student attention, cognitive self-regulation, and academic performance. Recent interest has grown around “nudging” strategies, or non-coercive behavioral interventions, to help students regain control over their digital habits in educational settings. This review aims to (1) synthesize recent empirical evidence on the attentional and academic impact of problematic social media use (particularly TikTok) among students, (2) identify and classify nudging strategies…
This study examined the effects of modified Gum Arabic (OLLA-g-GA), modified Euphorbia trigona Mill (OLLA-g-ETML), and their master batch (OLLA-g-GA–OLLA-g-ETML) on the non-isothermal crystallisation and thermal stability of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The interface interactions of PLA with the modifiers before and after modification were analysed and identified using FTIR spectroscopy, which displayed different peak formations and intensities compared to neat PLA, indicating physical interactions with the modifiers. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study…
The modification of melamine–urea–formaldehyde (MUF) adhesives with lignosulfonates (LS) represents a promising strategy for developing more sustainable wood-based panels.
