Psychological resilience plays a crucial role in protecting individuals from mental health issues in the face of adverse life events. However, the neurobiological mechanisms through which resilience functions as a protective factor against mental disorders remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the neuroendocrinological mechanisms underlying psychological resilience by examining the relationship between endogenous cortisol and resilience in Chinese adolescents. Additionally, the study explores whether this relationship is moderated by parenting style, family cohesion and adaptability, school climate, and life events. A total of 270 adolescent students (mean age: 12.83 ± 0.60 years; 112 boys, 158 girls) were randomly recruited from a middle school in Jiangsu Province, China. Hair cortisol, a biomarker of chronic endogenous cortisol, was measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Resilience was assessed using a scale validated for Chinese adolescent populations, while family and school environmental factors were evaluated using questionnaires. The results showed significant negative correlations between hair cortisol levels and resilience, individual power, goal planning, family support, and positive thinking. However, no significant correlations were found between hair cortisol levels and parenting style, family cohesion and adaptability, school climate, or life events. Importantly, the associations between hair cortisol levels and resilience were stable and not significantly influenced by family or school environmental factors. In conclusion, adolescents with higher psychological resilience, greater individual power, better goal planning, stronger family support, and more positive thinking exhibited lower chronic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. These associations remained stable and were not significantly affected by family or school environments.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescent girls is a critical predictor of subsequent depression and suicide risk, yet current tools lack both accuracy and clinical interpretability. We developed the first explainable machine learning model integrating multicenter psychosocial data to predict depression among Chinese adolescent girls with NSSI, addressing the critical need for culturally tailored risk stratification tools. In this cross - sectional observational study, our model was developed using data from 14 hospitals. We used five categories of data as predictors, including individual, family, school, psychosocial, and behavioral and lifestyle factors. We compared seven machine learning models and selected the best one to develop final model and the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method were used to explain model prediction. The Random Forest (RF) model was compared against six other machine learning algorithms. We assessed the discrimination using the area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) with 95 % CIs. Using the development dataset (n = 1163) and predictive model building process, a simplified model containing only the top 20 features had similar predictive performance to the full model, the RF model outperformed six algorithms (AUROC = 0.964 [0.945-0.975]), demonstrating superior discriminative power and robustness. The top ten risk predictors were Borderline personality, Rumination, Perceived stress, Hopelessness, Self-esteem, Sleep quality, Loneliness, Resilience, Parental care, and Problem-focused coping. We developed a three-tiered, color-coded web-based clinical tool to operationalize predictions, enabling real-time risk stratification and personalized interventions. Our study bridges machine learning and clinical interpretability to advance precision mental health interventions for vulnerable adolescent populations.

Adolescents' problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) has become increasingly severe. This study examined the changes in relationships between dimensions of PMPU, protective (positive psychological capital, i.e., optimism, hope, resilience, core self-evaluation) and risk (psychological distress, i.e., anxiety, depression, loneliness, and stress) factors within the network, aiming to identify the most influential factors over time and find the longitudinal predictive relationships between the factors and PMPU. A total of 1,170 Chinese adolescents participated over three waves (T1: January 2023, T2: August 2023, T3: February 2024). Cross-section network analysis showed that "core self-evaluation", "depression", "hope", "loss of control", and "stress_P" were the central nodes. "Stress_N" (sense of losing control and negative affective reactions) in risk factors and "affect control" (ability to regulate emotions) in protective factors were the bridge symptoms in the network across three timepoints. As shown in network comparison, the global strength of the network remained stable from T1 to T2 but increased from T2 to T3. The edge strength between "family support", "anxiety" and the nodes of PMPU weakened across the time. While, correlations between "loneliness", "goal planning", "positive thinking", "affect control" and PMPU nodes strengthened. The relationship between "Stress_N" and PMPU initially increasing before decreasing. Longitudinal cross-lagged network analysis revealed that "negative life consequence" and "craving" in PMPU strongly predicted protective/risk factors, while "hope," "affect control," and "core self-evaluation" were most susceptible to prediction. The findings highlight the significant role of "core self-evaluation" and "stress_N" in the development of adolescents' PMPU and the negative results of PMPU. Additionally, the changes in the network over time suggest that the factors influencing PMPU evolve, with various protective/risk factors gaining or losing significance at different stages. The results of CLPN emphasize the negative outcome of PMPU. Therefore, targeting interventions on the internalized symptoms may help alleviate the severity of PMPU among adolescents.

Background/objective: Negative emotion, such as anxiety and depression, significantly impacts college students' academic performance, social relationships, and overall well-being. Given that, this study aims to explore the effect of physical activity on alleviating negative emotion among Chinese college students and to examine the mediating and moderating mechanisms of psychological resilience including individual power and supportive power. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 596 college students from 10 universities in Guangdong Province (Mage = 20.32, SD = 1.47). Data were collected using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale (APRS), and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21). Descriptive and correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, and PROCESS macro models were used to test the mediating and moderating effects. Results: (1) Physical activity (β = -0.312, p < 0.001) and supportive power (β = -0.391, p < 0.001) both significantly negatively predicted negative emotion; (2) Individual power played a partial mediating role between physical activity and negative emotion (indirect effect accounted for 31.4%, 95% CI [-0.395, -0.242]); (3) Supportive power moderated the relationship between physical activity and negative emotion (interaction effect β = 0.089, p < 0.01), with a stronger effect of physical exercise on reducing negative emotion under low supportive conditions (b = -0.401 vs. b = -0.224). Conclusions: Physical activity not only directly affects negative emotion but also indirectly influences negative emotion by enhancing psychological resilience (individual power), and supportive power could moderate this effect through a resource substitution mechanism. The present study provides a theoretical basis for designing targeted mental health interventions and emphasizes the synergistic effect of integrating physical activity and social support on college students' mental health.

Mobile phone addiction (MPA) is widespread on university campuses and has many negative effects on individuals. A good physical activity atmosphere (PAA) has been shown to be effective in improving individuals' mental health, including psychological resilience (PR), but it is not clear whether it can alleviate MPA. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of both on MPA through a longitudinal study and provides a theoretical basis for reference. A total of 964 international students from different countries were selected from 8 colleges and universities in Beijing, and 2 longitudinal follow-up surveys were conducted using the Physical Activity Atmosphere Scale, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale. Correlation and path model analyses were conducted using Pearson and cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). The correlation results showed that T1-PAA, T2-PAA were significantly positively correlated with T1-PR, T2-PR (r = 0.577, 0.306, P < 0.001) and T1-PR, T2-PR were significantly negatively correlated with T1-MPA, T2-MPA (= -0.225, -0.236, P < 0.001). CLPM results showed that college student PAA stably positively predicted PR (t = 0.518, P < 0.001). PAA (t = -0.131, P < 0.001) and PR (t = -0.159, P < 0.001) negatively predicted MPA levels. (1) Improving PAA not only alleviates MPA in college students, but also improves PR levels. (2) PR also has an inhibitory effect on MPA, so increasing PR will enhance the effect of PAA. (3) PAA negatively predicts MPA and positively predicts PR in college students.

Against the backdrop of increasing social stress and a faster pace of life, psychological resilience as a key psychological attribute has become increasingly prominent. Physical activity is also a significant factor influencing the psychological resilience of young students. This study aims to systematically review the research progress on the relationship between physical activity and psychological resilience among young students. It analyzes the correlation between the two and the influencing factors, and explores the mechanisms by which physical activity among young students contributes to psychological resilience. The objective is to motivate young students to engage more actively in physical activities, thereby enhancing their psychological resilience.

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement, an extensive literature search was conducted across six electronic databases: Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and EBSCOhost. The search spanned from January 1, 2000, to November 20, 2024. The selected studies were subjected to rigorous quality evaluation, and relevant methodological and outcome data were extracted using a standardized data extraction form. Subsequently, meta-analysis of the included studies was performed using Stata 18 software, including heterogeneity testing and assessment of publication bias.

After literature screening, a total of 21 studies were included, exploring the correlation between physical activity and psychological resilience. These studies employed Pearson correlation analysis (14 studies), multiple regression analysis (13 studies), and structural equation modeling (SEM) (eight studies). Using a random-effects model to combine effect sizes, the average correlation coefficient was 0.249 (p < 0.001), the average standardized coefficient for the promotion of psychological resilience by physical activity was 0.195 (p < 0.001), and the average path coefficient for the enhancement of psychological resilience through physical activity was 0.205 (p < 0.001).

This study found a significant positive correlation between physical activity and psychological resilience among young students, with physical activity exerting a positive impact on psychological resilience. Similarly, psychological resilience plays a promotional role in the participation of young students in physical activities.

It remains unknown whether home-school collaborative strategies can improve the resilience of adolescents and children from single-parent families in China.

This study addresses the gap in resilience interventions for single-parent family students by validating a 7-week home-school collaborative intervention strategy.

The participants were 89 primary and secondary school children from China, randomly assigned to either the experimental group (20 single-parent and 27 non-single-parent students) or the control group (20 single-parent and 22 non-single-parent students). Both groups used the Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale to report their resilience levels during the pre-test and post-test phases. Single-parent family parents also reported their collaborative participation using a behavior checklist.

The experimental group exhibited higher resilience gain scores compared to the control group. The intervention effects in the experimental group remained stable for one month after the intervention ended. Additionally, the intervention at the school level fostered greater collaborative involvement from single-parent families, particularly in terms of family support participation.

The Home-school collaborative intervention strategy is a valuable measure for enhancing the resilience of students from single-parent families and has the potential for application within both family and school contexts.

Insecure parent-child attachment is often observed in adolescents with depressive symptoms. However, the directionality of the association between insecure parent-child attachment and depressive symptoms, as well as the potential mechanisms of family support, is not clearly understood. This study investigated the reciprocal longitudinal associations between insecure parent-child attachment (i.e. attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety), perceived family support, and depressive symptoms. A total of 1535 Chinese adolescents (52.6% being boys; baseline Mage = 13.19 years, SD = 0.51) participated in a four-wave longitudinal study with 6-month intervals. Random intercept cross-lagged panel models were employed to disentangle the between- and within-family effects. The results indicated that there was a vicious cycle in which attachment avoidance and depressive symptoms reinforced each other. Furthermore, an increase in depressive symptoms significantly predicted a decrease in perceived family support over time, subsequently leading to higher levels of both attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety. These findings suggest the coexistence of emotion-driven processes (from depressive symptoms to attachment avoidance) and relationship-driven processes (from attachment avoidance to depressive symptoms). Additionally, psychotherapists and family therapists are advised to enhance adolescents' perceived family support to nip depressive symptoms in the bud, therefore preventing subsequent insecure parent-child attachments.

Previous research has shown a correlation between sports participation and bullying in schools. However, less attention has been paid to the factors influencing children's perpetrated bullying and victimized. Therefore, this study constructed a model of the role of influencing factors between sports participation, children's mental toughness, and school bullying to explore the link between sports participation and mental toughness on children's perpetrated bullying and victimized.

A sample of 861 students was randomly selected from five elementary schools in Shandong Province, China. After excluding invalid questionnaires with missing answers or consistent responses, 712 questionnaires were collected. The Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3) was selected to assess sports participation, the Mental Toughness Scale to evaluate mental resilience, and the Chinese-adapted version of the Oweis Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ), which was revised by Chinese scholar Zhang Xinwen, to measure bullying experiences. All participants completed maturation scales on sports participation, mental toughness, and school bullying. Data were analyzed in SPSS 24.0, SPSSprocess 4.1, and AMOS 27.

The results of this study are as follows: (1) According to the correlation test results, since p < 0.05 or p < 0.01, there is a correlation between sports participation and psychological resilience, bullying and being bullied. There is a correlation between mental resilience and bullying, being bullied. There is a correlation between bullying and being bullied. (2) Mental toughness plays a mediating role in the influence of sports participation on the perpetrated bullying and in the influence of sports participation on victimized. (3) In the pathways of sports participation, mental toughness, and school bullying, it suggested that mental toughness played a partial mediating role in this pathway. For the pathways of sports participation, mental toughness, and children's exposure to bullying. The mental toughness played a full mediating role in this pathway.

It is recommended that early intervention and support be given to promote children's physical mobility and increase their own levels of sports participation and mental toughness, thereby reducing the likelihood of children committing or experiencing bullying in schools and improving their physical and mental health.

This study aims to explore the mechanisms of the relationship between Perfectionism and interpersonal relationships.

Data were collected and research was conducted using the online platform Wenjuanxing, which distributed the Psychological Resilience Scale, Core Self-Evaluation Scale, Interpersonal Sensitivity Questionnaire, Perfectionism Scale, and Peer Relationships Scale.

Perfectionism not only directly and significantly predicts interpersonal sensitivity, but it can also mediate interpersonal sensitivity through dual or triple mediation paths formed by Psychological Resilience, Peer Relationships, and Core Self-Evaluation.

Perfectionism can directly and significantly predict interpersonal sensitivity and can also indirectly predict interpersonal sensitivity through Psychological Resilience, Peer Relationships, and Core Self-Evaluation. The traditional Confucian educational philosophy in China advocates core values such as "benevolence," "righteousness," "propriety," and "wisdom," emphasizing that individuals should constantly cultivate themselves and their families to achieve moral perfection. This can lead to heightened interpersonal sensitivity and severe psychological repression. Modern education should build on traditional educational values while promoting inclusivity and tolerance, encouraging individuals to focus on the present, accept their emotions and experiences, respect human freedom of development, and safeguard psychological health.

There were associations between emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) and depression, but few studies had tested potential mechanisms underlying these relationships. We aimed to provide insights on how (the mediation role of neuroticism), and under what conditions (the moderator role of psychological resilience), led to a higher level of depression.

This study was a cross-sectional study that used a random cluster sampling method. We randomly selected 3,993 participants from four junior middle schools in northern city of China. Participants were asked to complete four self-reported questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Children Depression Inventory-Short Form, Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version, and Chinese Resilience Scale.

The results showed that neuroticism mediated the associations between EAN and depression. In addition, the mediating effect of neuroticism was moderated by psychological resilience (p<0.05).

EAN and neuroticism could have an adverse impact on depression, and psychological resilience could alleviate these negative effects as a moderator. Our model suggested psychological resilience could be a particularly effective intervention point for victims of EAN.

This study aims to examine the inner relationship between children's physical exercise, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and resilience, and explore effective ways to promote the improvement of children's resilience.

Using measurement tools such as the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Chinese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS), and the Adolescents Resilience Scale, we conducted a questionnaire survey was conducted among 700 primary school students in 4 primary schools. The SPSS 22.0 software was used to process and analyze the data, including correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Bootstrap analysis, and AMOS 21.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model.

(1) Physical exercise has a significant positive correlation with self-efficacy (r = 0.29, p < 0.001), emotional intelligence (r = 0.32, p < 0.001), and resilience (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), and there is also a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and resilience (r = 0.30, p < 0.001). (2) Physical exercise can directly and positively predict children's resilience (β1 = 0.38) and its five sub-dimensions, that is, physical exercise can positively predict goal concentration (β = 0.35, p < 0.001), emotional control (β = 0.29, p < 0.001), positive cognition (β = 0.20, p < 0.01), family support (β = 0.33, p < 0.001), interpersonal assistance (β = 0.31, p < 0.001), respectively. (3) Self-efficacy (SE = 0.10) and emotional intelligence (SE = 0.08) have partial mediating effects, respectively, on the relationship between physical exercise and resilience, and the chain mediation effect of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence also reaches a significant level (SE = 0.02).

Physical exercise can have a positive impact on children's resilience through self-efficacy and emotional intelligence, so schools or parents should attach importance to children's physical activities, which is an effective way to improve their resilience.

This study investigated how belief in a just world (BJW) influences prosocial behavior tendency (PBT) through psychological resilience (PR), and examined how empathic capacity (EC) moderates this mediation process.

Data were collected from 955 Chinese university students (Mage = 19.5 years, SD = 1.3; 65.6% female) using validated scales measuring BJW, PBT, PR, and EC.

Three key findings emerged: (1) BJW positively predicted PBT both directly (β = 0.301, p < 0.001) and indirectly through PR; (2) EC moderated the relationship between BJW and PR, with the positive association being stronger for individuals with lower EC (b = 0.45, p < 0.001) compared to those with higher EC (b = 0.23, p < 0.01); (3) The indirect effect of BJW on PBT through PR was stronger for individuals with lower EC, indicating a moderated mediation effect.

These findings advance our understanding of prosocial behavior by identifying distinct pathways through which beliefs and emotional capacities interact. The results suggest that interventions to promote prosocial behavior should be tailored based on individual differences in empathic capacity, with different approaches needed for high versus low EC individuals.

Time perspective and time management disposition are critical factors influencing academic achievement. Although balanced time perspective (BTP) has been associated with adaptive functioning across various life domains, its relationship with academic performance remains underexplored. This study proposes a moderated mediation model to examine the link between BTP and academic performance.

The study included 1,076 high school students (448 boys and 628 girls), aged 15 to 19 years. Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing BTP, time management disposition, and resilience in their classrooms. Academic performance was measured using standardized test scores routinely administered by the school. The valid data were analyzed using the PROCESS macro for SPSS.

BTP positively predicted academic performance, with time management disposition mediating this relationship. The indirect effect was further moderated by resilience, demonstrating a stronger effect among students with higher resilience levels.

These findings suggest that BTP may influence children's academic performance and offer novel strategies for promoting academic achievement in high school settings. In addition, the findings highlight the importance of fostering psychological traits like resilience to enhance academic performance. Future studies could explore educational interventions aimed at developing BTP and resilience, thereby enhancing students' psychological skills.

Mobile phone dependence and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent among left-behind adolescents in China. In recent years, some studies have focused on the important role of parent-child relationship and psychological resilience. Therefore, this study aims to explore the multidimensional relationships among resilience, mental health, and mobile phone dependence among left-behind adolescents, and to assess the impact of parent-child conflict level on these relationships.

The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), the Chinese version of the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI), the Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), and the Parent-Child Conflict Scale were used to investigate 2,100 left-behind adolescents in Sichuan Province, and R was run to make network analysis and network comparison.

(1) A structurally stable network relationship exists between left-behind adolescents' resilience, mental health, and mobile phone dependence; (2) BSI3 (Anxiety) is the most important node of the network model, followed by MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale); (3) MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale) and RSCA4 (family support) are key to connect resilience, mental health, and smartphone addiction in the study sample; (4) There was a significant difference in the network structure between the high- and low-level groups of parent-child conflict, no significant difference in the global strength of the network, and a significant difference in the centrality of strength and the centrality of bridge strength.

Chinese left-behind adolescents' resilience and mental health, mobile phone dependence are both independent and interact with each other to some extent. Specifically, high centrality dimensions such as anxiety, the inability to control cravings, and family support can be prioritised for intervention in related treatments, or reducing parent-child conflict and enhancing resilience to mitigate mobile phone dependence among left-behind adolescents, thus improving their mental health.

Participation in competitive sports has been shown to enhance children's mental health. However, evidence regarding the impact of group sports within traditional physical education on children's mental development is scarce. This study designed a team-building-focused physical education program and examined its effects on the resilience of rural students.

A total of 86 rural elementary school students (mean age: 11 years) were cluster-randomized into the intervention and control groups. Both groups participated in regular physical education classes three times per week. In the intervention group, the first 15-min warm-up period was replaced with sports games. From a social perspective, all games subtly encourage children to forge new social relationships by engaging in physical contact, interacting with new team members, and collaborating to achieve shared goals in a sportsmanlike manner. Resilience was assessed using the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents before and after the 12-week intervention.

After 12 weeks, the intervention group showed significant improvements in affect control, positive thinking, and help-seeking compared to the control group. Overall, both the individual and supportive dimensions of resilience improved following participation in team-building sports games.

Whether winning or losing as a team member, these experiences positively enhance children's emotional regulation, their understanding of their social roles within a team, and the development of help-seeking and concern for a distressed other. As a result, children may build new and broader social connections that extend beyond the physical education class, fostering a sportsmanlike civic virtue in their daily lives.

This study explores the intricate relationship between psychological resilience and academic emotions in urban primary school students, highlighting the transformative effects of cognitive behavioral group counseling (CBGC) on enhancing resilience. Conducted in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, China, the research involved 575 students from five schools, utilizing questionnaires adapted from standard psychological instruments to assess their psychological resilience and academic emotions. Our findings reveal that robust psychological resilience significantly increases positive academic emotions (t = 0.374, 0.591, P < 0.01) and decreases negative ones (t= -0.541, -0.664, P < 0.01). Furthering our investigation, 36 students were selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received a tailored CBGC program aimed at bolstering psychological resilience, while the control group engaged in after-school sports. The CBGC intervention, customized with culturally relevant content, age-appropriate language, and engaging activities, showed a significant post-intervention improvement in the experimental group's psychological resilience (t = 2.546, P < 0.05) and positive academic emotions (t = 2.546, 3.607, P < 0.01), alongside a notable reduction in negative emotions (t=-3.761,-2.038,P < 0.05).This study underscores the symbiotic relationship between psychological resilience and academic emotions among urban primary school students and demonstrates the efficacy of CBGC in fostering emotional balance and resilience. These insights have profound implications for educators and psychologists dedicated to nurturing a well-rounded and emotionally resilient student body.Trial Registration This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on February 10, 2023, with registration number ChiCTR2300061594.

Meaning in life (MIL) can help safeguard the mental health of migrant children. However, most current studies employ variable-centered methodologies and frequently overlook population heterogeneity; they also fail to address how the combination of different risks and resources influences MIL.

To explore the group heterogeneity of migrant children according to combinations of risks and resources and how the interaction of these factors affects their MIL.

Participants included a sample of 567 children of migrants.

Participants completed questionnaires enquiring about risk factors (academic pressure, perceived discrimination, and parent-child alienation) and resource factors (parent-child communication, parent-child trust, perceived social support, and resilience). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify different groups according to the combinations of these risks and resources; we then identified the differences in MIL among these groups.

Four groups were identified: low-resource group (26 %), high-risk/low-endogenous-resource group (8 %), balanced group (43 %), and low-risk/high-resource group (23 %). MIL was highest among the low-risk/high-resource group and lowest among the low-resource group. The high-risk/low-endogenous-resource and balanced groups were in the middle.

Risks and resources associated with migrant children are combined in different ways; LPA revealed clear categorization trends. There were significant differences in MIL among the four categories we identified. Attention should be paid to increasing resources for migrant children, as these may have a stronger impact on their MIL than risks.

Migrant workers constitute a significant portion of China's workforce, and their health directly affects labor supply and economic stability. Health vulnerability plays a crucial role in shaping the well-being of migrant workers, yet its determinants, particularly the impact of temperature change, remain underexplored. This study, based on the socio-ecological model, investigates how temperature variations influence the health vulnerability of migrant workers in China.

Using data from 2020, this study quantifies health vulnerability and examines the impact of temperature fluctuations across different seasons. Robustness checks, including dependent variable substitutions and model modifications, ensure the reliability of the findings. Furthermore, a mechanism analysis is conducted to explore the underlying pathways through which temperature change affects health vulnerability.

The findings reveal that rising temperatures in spring, summer, and winter significantly exacerbate the health vulnerability of migrant workers, while increasing autumn temperatures mitigate it. Mechanism analysis identifies heightened psychological burden as a key channel through which temperature change worsens health vulnerability. Additionally, generational differences emerge: older migrant workers are more adversely affected by elevated spring temperatures, whereas younger workers exhibit greater sensitivity to rising summer temperatures.

These results underscore the necessity of targeted health interventions and adaptive labor protection policies. By highlighting the seasonal and generational disparities in the effects of temperature change, this study offers theoretical and empirical support for enhancing the resilience of migrant workers to climate variations. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers in designing strategies to safeguard the health and stability of the migrant workforce.

Adolescents are also more vulnerable to the effects of everyday life stimuli and exhibit a range of negative emotional states that can develop into severe affective disorders. However, Psychological resilience maybe enable the prevention of emotional problems associated with daily stress rather than intervening treating the problem after it has occurred.

A total of 104 individuals (54 participants in the high psychological resilience group and 50 participants in the low psychological resilience group) were first identified. Then, the 8-day experiential sampling method was used to determine the characteristics of adolescents with different psychological resilience levels in terms of emotional balance under daily stress. Further combined with diary method research, a multilayered linear model was used to explore the predictive effects of six emotion regulation strategies on adolescents' emotional balance.

The obtained Results show that high psychological resilience adolescents demonstrated higher levels of emotional balance and positive rates and lower rates of change in emotional balance than low psychological resilience adolescents. In terms of facilitating emotion regulation strategies, high psychological resilience was associated with greater use of cognitive reappraisal and social sharing strategies (which positively predicted emotional balance under daily stress) and less use of expression suppression and rumination strategies (which negatively predicted levels of emotional balance).

Adolescents with high psychological resilience exhibit good adaptive emotional states in daily stressful situations, which is closely related to their use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal and social sharing and may be useful for further intervention research.

Problematic smartphone use is a prevalent issue addressed in this study. The research delves into factors associated with problematic smartphone use, employing the self-determination theory. Specifically, the study analyzes the relationship between parental psychological control and problematic smartphone use and investigates psychological reactance as a mediating factor. Moreover, psychological resilience is considered a moderating factor in the relationship between parental psychological control and problematic smartphone use, based on the diathesis-stress model and cognitive model of resilience.

A total of 1300 (M = 14.22, SD = 1.29) Chinese adolescents were surveyed in a cross-sectional study. They completed self-report questionnaires including the Parental Psychological Control Questionnaire, the Smartphone Addiction Scale, the Psychological Resistance Scale, and the Adolescent Resilience Scale. A moderated mediation model was examined to test predictions.

Correlation analysis reveals a positive correlation between parental psychological control, psychological reactance, and problematic smartphone use, and a negative correlation with psychological resilience. Moderation mediation analysis demonstrates that psychological resilience diminishes the direct association between parental psychological control, psychological reactance, and problematic smartphone use, thereby mitigating their relationship.

The findings support the moderation mediation model, indicating that psychological resilience plays a crucial role in safeguarding adolescents from the adverse effects of problematic smartphone use induced by parental psychological control.

Learning burnout as a serious psychological distress problem among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic was investigated using the cross-lagged panel network models.

A three-wave study using a sample of 11 to 18-year-olds in China was conducted, with baseline data collected in June 2020 (n = 4156) and follow-ups in December 2020 (n = 3209) and August 2021 (n = 2324). Two temporal cross-lagged panel network models were computed to analyze adolescent learning burnout over time.

The predictive pathway of adolescent learning burnout demonstrates significant temporal specificity. In the early outbreak period, Positive thinking, Appreciation of life and Depression are the most influential predictive symptoms. In the normalized epidemic prevention period, Goal planning, Affect control and Positive thinking are the most influential predictive symptoms. However, during this period, the extent to which adolescent learning burnout is predicted by other symptoms in the networks is significantly reduced.

The samples used in this study are not expected to be nationally representative, and therefore the generalizability of the results may be limited.

These findings highlight the predictive roles of Positive thinking, Appreciation of life, and Depression in adolescent learning burnout and the importance of timely intervention on these symptoms in the early outbreak period of public health emergency similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings also illustrate the essentiality of eliminate unstable factors in the school environment during the normalized epidemic prevention period.

To (1) clarify the key components of resilience of adults with cancer; (2) summarise and analyse the resilience measures used in this population; and (3) discuss future evaluation directions.

An umbrella review.

MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane library and Epistemonikos were searched in December 2023.

The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines were followed for undertaking this umbrella review. Systematic and narrative reviews that defined resilience of adults with cancer and reported resilience measures, published in English, were included. The methodological quality was assessed using the JBI appraisal tool.

Fourteen eligible reviews were included. Four key resilience components from various resilience conceptualisations were identified. Twenty resilience measures were used among cancer patients, with the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale providing a relatively comprehensive assessment of individual resilience. Recommended future research with cancer patients includes assessing these resilience components: (1) available individual resources-key psychological factors that enhance individual resilience; (2) access to social resources-close interpersonal relationships, family cohesion and social support; (3) adaptive coping ability-problem-solving skills, emotional management strategies and experiences in managing adversity; (4) ability to regain mental health and well-being-the capacity to recover a relatively stable psychological state and promote positive psychological functioning.

The findings provide evidence for refining future resilience measurement in the adult cancer population. Examining the four key components of resilience with this population across cultures is warranted.

Understanding the key components of resilience of cancer patients can help healthcare professionals identify individuals who may need further support and facilitate early intervention or referral to psychosocial support services.

Although many studies have examined the relationship between suicidal ideation and psychosocial factors in adolescents, there are differences between the results.

Adopting the ecological model of health behavior as a theoretical framework, this study assessed individual, interpersonal and organizational factors associated with the prevalence of suicidal ideation and preventive behaviors in 305 Chinese adolescents hospitalized with depression. Clinical and demographic data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and suicidal ideation were assessed by interview.

The prevalence of suicidal ideation among the sample was 75.7% (231/305). Logistic regression showed that the increase of suicide ideation was associated with woman (OR = 2.237, 95%CI = 1.074-4.659), degree of depression(moderate depression: OR = 10.198, 95%CI = 3.819-27.237; major depression: OR = 21.677, 95%CI = 7.006-67.076), and high emotion-oriented coping(OR = 1.985, 95%CI = 0.977-4.034). However, high psychological resilience had lower rates of suicidal ideation (OR = 0.384, 95%CI = 0.158-0.933).

These findings highlight the need to pay sufficient attention to individuals with these risk factors for suicidal ideation in clinical work and to prevent suicidal behaviors by increasing health promotion behaviors.

Currently, there is a lack of cost-effective and accessible intervention resources for Chinese adolescents with emotional disorders. The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Adolescents (UP-A), which aims to apply transdiagnostic treatment principles to target core dysfunctions across a range of emotional disorders with a single protocol, could fill this gap. We first modified the UP-A for use in the Chinese cultural context and then assessed its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy using a single-arm design. Twenty-four Chinese adolescents (14.1 ± 1.2 years old) with emotional disorders completed a 12-week group UP-A intervention along with their parents. Multiple outcomes were evaluated at five time points: pretreatment (T1), week 4 (T2), week 8 (T3), posttreatment (T4), and 3-month follow-up (T5). The results showed a low dropout rate (16.7%), high attendance (at 10.2 ± 1.6 sessions in adolescents and 10.7 ± 2.0 sessions in parents), and sufficient participant satisfaction. Adolescents exhibited significant decreases in emotional disorder severity (g = -1.298 to -1.341) and emotional symptoms (g = -0.440 to -1.988) and significant improvements in emotion regulation (ER) strategies, resilience, functional outcomes, and executive function. The efficacy of the intervention was significant starting at T2 and was maintained at T4 and T5. Exploratory analyses revealed that predictors of treatment outcomes included the presence of multiple comorbidities, the severity of emotional disorders, adaptive ER strategies, and resilience at T1. This study demonstrated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the Chinese version of the UP-A, and future randomized controlled trials are warranted.

Psychological resilience can be augmented through the acquisition of specific cognitive or emotional regulation skills, enabling children to adapt to or recover from stressful events, disadvantages, or adversities. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a Tianchang Resilience-focused inTervention program (TRT1 program) on resilience and mental health conditions of Chinese children.

This study was a two-arm cluster-randomized controlled trial, performed in Tianchang, a county in China. Students from 20 classes in a local primary school (aged 8.7-11.2 years) were randomly allocated to receive a resilience-focused intervention or waitlist group. The intervention comprised weekly 40-min sessions for 14 weeks and co-led by lay counsellors. Measures of emotional symptoms, behavioral difficulties, and resilience were collected at pre-, post-intervention, 6-months, and 12-months follow-up.

Between June 16, 2022, and September 4, 2022, 775 eligible students were recruited (mean age 9.93 years; 420 [54.2 %] boys). Relative to the waitlist group (N = 391), the intervention group (N = 384) reported a significant reduction in depressive and anxiety symptoms at post-intervention (all p < 0.001), 6-months (p = 0.007; p = 0.002) and 12-months follow-up (p = 0.018; p = 0.018), respectively. The intervention group effects were also observed on resilience at post-intervention follow-up (p = 0.006), and remained stable over 6-months (p < 0.001) and 12-months follow-up (p = 0.022).

This study demonstrated that the TRT program, a universal resilience-focused intervention for children in the school setting, showed long-term effectiveness in improving resilience and mental health conditions. This minimally trained laypersons-delivered intervention might enhance the program's generalizability to other communities.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is common among adolescents and frequently co-occurs with depression. Understanding the distinct patterns of NSSI behaviors, along with their associated risk and protective factors, is crucial for developing effective interventions.

To classify NSSI behaviors and examine interactions between risk and resilience factors in Chinese adolescents.

A cross-sectional study involving 3967 Chinese students (51.7% female, mean age 13.58 ± 2.24 years) who completed questionnaires on parenting styles, bullying, childhood maltreatment, depression, resilience, and NSSI. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify NSSI subtypes, and network analysis explored interactions between risk and resilience factors.

Three NSSI subtypes were identified: NSSI with depression (18.8%), NSSI without depression (12.3%), and neither (68.9%). Bullying was the central risk factor across subtypes, while emotional control and family support were key protective factors. Statistical analyses showed significant differences between groups (P < 0.001).

This study identified three NSSI subtypes among Chinese adolescents. Bullying emerged as a central risk factor, while emotional control and family support were key protective factors. Targeting these areas may help reduce NSSI behaviors in this population.

Executive functions (EF), encompassing inhibition, updating, and shifting, are widely acknowledged as cognitive factors that promote resilience. However, prior research examining the association between EF and resilience has been hampered by inconsistent conceptualizations of resilience and an overreliance on cross-sectional designs. We embraced a process-oriented conceptualization of resilience and employed a longitudinal approach to investigate how EF components interplay with the dynamic processes of resilience resources and resilient functioning.

A total of 144 Chinese preadolescents (aged 10-12, 53.5% male) completed computer-based EF assessments at baseline and self-reported their resilience at three intervals during 2019-2020. The resilience evaluations encompassed resilience resources at individual, familial, and social levels, as measured by the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents, and resilient functioning, operationalized as the residuals of socioemotional difficulties after accounting for stressful life events.

The findings emphasized the dynamic nature of resilience, unveiling a developmental cascade from resilience resources to resilient functioning and back to resilience resources. Furthermore, distinct effects of EF components on resilience development were found. Specifically, inhibition was associated with both concurrent and long-term resilience resources and functioning, while updating predicted long-term resilience resources, and shifting predicted long-term resilient functioning.

These results underscored the pivotal role of EF as a cognitive foundation in comprehending the dynamic resilience processes during preadolescence.

This study aims to explore the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between physical exercise and the sense of security among junior high school students, with a particular focus on variations based on only-child status.

A survey was conducted among 649 left-behind junior high school students in Gansu Province, China, utilizing the Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3), Security Questionnaire (SQ), and Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA).

Among the participants, the mean scores for physical exercise, psychological resilience, and sense of security were 40.78 ± 29.49, 51.14 ± 10.08, and 55.75 ± 14.35, respectively. A significant positive correlation was observed between physical exercise and sense of security (r = 0.210, p < 0.01), physical exercise and psychological resilience (r = 0.164, p < 0.01), and psychological resilience and sense of security (r = 0.443, p < 0.01). Mediation analysis revealed that psychological resilience partially mediates the effect of physical exercise on the sense of security, accounting for 33.9% of the total effect. Multi-group analysis indicated significant differences in this mediating effect between only children and children with siblings, with a stronger predictive role of psychological resilience for the sense of security among non-only children.

Participation in physical exercise can promote the improvement of sense of security through the individual power factor of improving the psychological resilience of left-behind junior high school students, and this improvement effect is more significant for non-only children.

Adolescents exhibit a high prevalence of mental health disorders, with more than half of all cases emerging before the age of 14 years. Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a marked upsurge in anxiety and depression among adolescents across several nations. Emotional disorders often lead to severe outcomes, including school absenteeism, self-harm, and suicidal tendencies. The suboptimal efficacy of pharmacotherapy, compounded by limited availability and substantial costs associated with individual psychotherapy, underscores the critical need for identifying simple yet efficacious psychotherapeutic interventions suitable for both individual and group settings. Tension and Trauma Release Exercise (TRE) is a mind-body therapeutic approach that efficiently alleviates symptoms of anxiety and depression. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mother-child intervention model using TRE in enhancing the clinical management of adolescent patients diagnosed with emotional disorders.

This study recruits 140 dyads of adolescents with emotional disorders and their mothers, randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. The intervention arm combines eight weeks of standard pharmacotherapy with an eight-week TRE group therapy, assessing at baseline, post-8-week treatment, and three-month follow-up. Initially, controls receive eight weeks of standard medication with parallel assessments, later transitioning to the same TRE intervention while maintaining continuous evaluation. The study further examines the influence of maternal emotional health on adolescent treatment response and investigates associated neurophysiological and psychological mechanisms.

This research endeavors to identify a straightforward and potent body-oriented psychological intervention that could improve the clinical outcomes for adolescent patients with emotional disorders. Such findings would carry profound implications not only for the healthy development of teenagers but also for potentially mitigating the burden on families, educational institutions, and society as a whole.

The psychosocial health of children and adolescents has been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Containment measures have restricted social development, education and recreational activities, may have increased family conflicts and, in many cases, led to feelings of loneliness, sleep disturbances, symptoms of anxiety and depression. We conducted a systematic review to identify interventions that seek to ameliorate these detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and to build resilience in children and adolescents. Literature searches were conducted in the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, WHO COVID-19 Global literature on coronavirus disease and Cochrane COVID-19 Study Register (up to 30 June 2022). The searches retrieved 9557 records of which we included 13 randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) for evidence synthesis. Included studies predominantly implemented online group sessions for school-aged children with either a psychological component, a physical activity component, or a combination of both. A meta-analysis of seven studies on anxiety and five on depressive symptoms provided evidence for a positive effect of interventions by reducing anxiety (Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) (95% CI): - 0.33 (- 0.59; - 0.06)) and depressive symptoms (SMD (95% CI): - 0.26 (- 0.36; - 0.16)) compared to the control interventions. Studies also showed improvements in positive mental health outcomes, such as resilience (n = 2) and mental and psychological wellbeing (n = 2). Exploratory subgroup analyses suggested a greater effectiveness of interventions that (i) are of higher frequency and duration, (ii) enable personal interaction (face-to-face or virtually), and (iii) include a physical activity component. Almost all studies were judged to be at high risk of bias and showed considerable heterogeneity. Further research may focus on the contribution of different intervention components or distinct subgroups and settings, and should examine children and adolescents over longer follow-up periods.

Neurodivergent individuals, including a range of conditions impacting neurological function, are at an increased likelihood of poor life outcomes, such as in functional adaptation, mental health, and well-being. Yet, many live meaningful and fulfilling lives. Resilience may provide some explanation for the heterogeneity in outcomes observed in neurodivergent populations. We conducted a scoping review embedded in a neurodiversity-affirmative approach to provide an understanding of resilience in neurodivergent populations. A total of 176 articles were included in this review and were synthesized using a two-phased process. First, findings were synthesized narratively to examine how resilience has been conceptualized and explored in neurodivergent populations. Second, to identify the bio-psycho-social factors important for resilience in neurodivergent individuals, we converted concepts identified in articles to the nomenclature of the World Health Organizations' International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) using a standardized linking process. We find considerable variability in how resilience is conceptualized and measured in neurodivergent populations. We identified 83 unique ICF categories representing resilience factors, of which only 20 appeared in more than 5% of the articles. Identified ICF categories highlight the importance of support systems such as families and friends, community participation and acceptance, and individual capabilities for resilience.

In the developmental research, studies on the importance of fathers in the parent-child relationship is insufficient, especially the father-daughter relationship. Thus far, a few studies have investigated whether father presence influences adolescent daughters' resilience. Therefore, this study investigated the extent to which intermediary factors affect the relationship between father presence and daughters' resilience. A total of 718 Chinese female high school students participated in a questionnaire survey. The results showed father presence was positively related to resilience in female high school students. Additionally, psychological security fully mediated the relationship between father presence and daughters' resilience, whereas achievement goal orientation partially mediated this relationship; specifically, the mastery-approach and performance-approach orientations. The results highlight the importance of considering the meaning and implications of father presence and daughter's resilience in Chinese culture.

Previous research has extensively explored the factors associated with psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). However, the characteristics and associated factors of remitted PLEs, which refer to the absence of current PLEs following previous PLEs, remain unclear. Therefore, this study aims to describe the characteristics of adolescents who reported remitted PLEs.

Cross-sectional study.

The survey was conducted from October to December 2020 in three colleges located in Guangzhou, China.

A total of 4208 college freshmen aged from 15 to 24 participated in our survey.

The 15-item positive subscale of the Community Assessment of the Psychic Experience was used to assess both lifetime and current PLEs. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between remitted PLEs and a range of demographic factors, lifestyle, psychosocial factors, lifetime affective symptoms and sleep problems.

Three groups of PLEs were observed: non-PLEs (47.27% of the sample), remitted PLEs (40.42%) and current PLEs (12.31%). Several factors have been identified as shared correlates of remission and absence of PLEs, including fewer recent adverse life events, greater resilience, fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety, and early waking. Furthermore, higher levels of social support (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.17; OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.97) was a specific factor associated with the remission of PLEs. Compared with individuals without PLEs, those with remitted PLEs were more likely to be female (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.75), less likely to be younger (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.95) and prone to have more chronic physical illness (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.29 to 2.16), habitual alcohol intake (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.88), more childhood trauma (OR for low vs high=0.72, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.91) and the sleep problems of waking up easily (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.65).

These findings suggest that remitted PLEs play a vital, unique role among three groups and provide preliminary targets for the intervention for adolescents at risk of mental health problems. Further investigation may shed light on the causality of the relationship between remitted PLEs and associated factors.

Evidence for the effectiveness of group-based trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) has existed, but little is known about how group-based TF-CBT works in the treatment of children with PTSD. The purpose of the present study is to explore the mediators for the reduction of PTSD severity in group-based TF-CBT.

We analyzed data from a randomized controlled trial conducted in China. In this trial, 234 children with PTSD were randomly assigned to the TF-CBT group or the treatment as usual (TAU) group. The primary outcome (reduction in severity of PTSD symptoms) and possible mediators (trauma memory quality, emotion regulation strategies, and resilience) were assessed at baseline and posttreatment. The mediation analysis was performed to investigate the indirect effects of possible mediators on treatment outcomes.

The mediation model revealed that changes in trauma memory quality, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, and resilience mediated the relationship between the group (TF-CBT vs. TAU) and PTSD at post-treatment. Adaptive emotion regulation strategies were not a key mechanism underlying PTSD reduction in group-based TF-CBT.

Group-based TF-CBT might affect PTSD by reducing risk factors, like trauma memory quality and maladaptive emotion strategies. Group-based TF-CBT also might affect PTSD by increasing protective factors, like resilience. Thus, monitoring these mediators throughout treatment might be an important factor in optimizing treatment outcomes.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical exercise and depression among college students, focusing on the mediating role of self-esteem and positive psychological capital.

Group psychological measurements were conducted on 579 students using various scales, including the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and bootstrap methods to test and analyze the effects.

A negative correlation between physical exercise and depressive mood, with physical exercise significantly predicting college students' depressive mood. Additionally, physical exercise was found to positively predict self-esteem and positive psychological capital, both of which are negatively predictive of depressive mood. Self-esteem and positive psychological capital were identified as significant mediators between physical exercise and depressive mood, with three mediating paths: physical exercise, self-esteem, and depressed mood (Path 1), exhibited an indirect effect of 0.017, with the bootstrap 95% confidence interval excluding 0 (LLCI = -0.051, ULCI = -0.004) and accounting for 8.30% of the total effect. Physical exercise, positive psychological capital, and depression emotion (Path 2), had an indirect effect of 0.049, with the bootstrap 95% confidence interval also not containing 0 (LLCI = -0.088, ULCI = -0.011) and contributing to 23.90% of the total effect. Physical exercise, self-esteem, positive psychological capital, depressed mood (Path 3), demonstrated an indirect effect of 0.006, with the bootstrap 95% confidence interval excluding 0 (LLCI = -0.011, ULCI = -0.001) and representing 2.90% of the total effect.

Physical exercise negatively predicts depressive mood among college students and has a mediating effect through self-esteem and positive psychological capital, creating a chain-like impact on their depressive symptoms.

Left-behind children (LBC) have become a special population to be concerned due to the negative consequences of parental absence during their physical and psychological development in China. Expressive suppression (ES) is a response-focused emotion regulation and may be frequently used by LBC to suppress their emotions resulting in different forms of internalizing problems. The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of ES as an emotion regulation strategy on anxiety in Chinese left-behind children in middle school (LBC-MS) by considering the mediating role(s) of psychological resilience and self-esteem.

820 middle school students aged between 12 and 17 years from a middle school in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, participated in the study. Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) were administered. Variables measured using the above scales in left-behind children in middle school (LBC-MS) and non-left-behind children in middle school (non-LBC-MS) were compared, and descriptive statistics were used to present the overall characteristics. Then the PROCESS macro of SPSS was used to conduct regression-based statistical mediation for the data of 211 left-behind children.

This study revealed that LBC-MS had higher anxiety and ES scores and lower psychological resilience and self-esteem scores than non-LBC-MS (Ps < 0.01). ES was found positively associated with anxiety in LBC-MS and negatively associated with psychological resilience and self-esteem (Ps < 0.05 - 0.01). Specifically, both psychological resilience and self-esteem significantly mediated the association between ES and anxiety, accounting for 7.50% and 10.68%, respectively, of the total associations. Moreover, psychological resilience and self-esteem had a chain mediating effect between ES and anxiety in LBC-MS.

The findings indicated that LBC-MS in China may frequently engage in the use of ES which correlated with higher level of anxiety. Psychological interventions should be dedicated to this underserved group. Intervention approaches that improve emotion regulation strategies (i.e., decrease the use of ES) and increase psychological resilience and self-esteem may help to alleviate anxiety in LBC-MS.

To explore associations among psychological resilience, self-esteem, social support, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents receiving inpatient psychiatric care.

In this cross-sectional study, 505 Chinese adolescents (aged 10 to 19 years) receiving inpatient psychiatric care completed a general characteristics questionnaire, the Psychological Resilience Scale (PRS), Self-Esteem Scale (SES), and Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS). Statistical tests were used to compare NSSI incidence, scale scores, and factors influencing NSSI.

The incidence rate of NSSI was 77.82% (n = 393). Total and dimension scores on the PRS, SES, and CASSS in the NSSI group were significantly lower than those in the non-NSSI group (p < 0.01). Binary logistic multifactorial regression analysis showed that participants who were female and aged 10 to 14 years were more prone to NSSI behavior (p < 0.05). Having close friends, high parental expectations, and moderate to high self-esteem were protective factors for NSSI behavior (p < 0.05).

Nursing personnel should prioritize enhancing psychological resilience, self-esteem, and social support in adolescents receiving inpatient psychiatric care to mitigate the risk of NSSI and ensure the safety of hospitalized individuals.

As emerging adults are increasingly reliant on instant messaging applications for communication with romantic partners, cyber dating abuse perpetration (CDAP) and victimization (CDAV) have proliferated. This has aroused the high attention of researchers. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of the influence of peer phubbing on CDAP and CDAV in Chinese context.

566 Chinese college students (average age of 19.31 years, 47.7% females) were investigated with the generic scale of being phubbed, rejection sensitivity questionnaire, Chinese version of resilience scale and cyber dating abuse questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using a moderated mediation model with SPSS and the PROCESS.

The results revealed that: (1) peer phubbing had a significant positive predictive effect on CDAP (β = .32, p < .001) and CDAV (β = .43, p < .001) respectively. (2) Rejection sensitivity played a partial mediating role both between peer phubbing and CDAP (indirect effect = .12, 95% CI = [.05, .18], accounting for 37.5%) and CDAV (indirect effect = .09, 95% CI = [.05, .14], accounting for 20.9%. (3) The first half (β = - .27, p < .001) of the indirect effect of peer phubbing on CDAP and CDAV are weakened by psychological resilience, and the direct paths were also weakened by psychological resilience(β = - .13, p < .001;β = - .16, p < .001).

These findings highlight the importance of discerning the mechanisms moderating the mediated paths linking peer phubbing to CDAP and CDAV. The results also underline the importance of implementing measures and interventions to use the protective role of psychological resilience on college students' CDAP and CDAV.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and resilience in Chinese secondary vocational students and examine the mediating effect of emotional intelligence.

In September 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in 282 Chinese students from three secondary vocational schools by using a voluntary and anonymous structured questionnaire, which included a general self-efficacy scale (GSES), emotional intelligence scale (EIS), and resilience scale (RS). The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software and macro PROCESS.

The scores of self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and resilience of Chinese secondary vocational students were above the average level. Correlations among the self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and resilience levels of students were significant. The analyses of mediating effect showed that emotional intelligence partially mediated the influence of self-efficacy on resilience of secondary vocational students.

Self-efficacy was positively associated with resilience. Self-efficacy not only has a direct effect on the resilience of secondary vocational students but it also indirectly affects the resilience through the mediating role of emotional intelligence. These findings valuable for designing the secondary vocational school programs aimed at improving students' psychological resilience.

The study aimed to explore the status of four common health problems (ie, smoking, internet addiction, physical inactivity, psychological disorder) among college students and analyze the relationship between psychological resilience, coping tendency and health problems.

The convenience sampling method was used to recruit 500 college students from four universities. The General Information Questionnaire, Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Health Risk Behavior Questionnaire were used for survey.

Among the students, there were 71 smokers (15.4%) and 61 internet addicts (13.2%). Over a third of the students reported physical inactivity (35.9%) and a minority had psychological disorder (6.3%). The psychological resilience score differed between students who smoked, had internet addiction, physical inactivity, psychological disorder and those without these health-risk behaviors. Logistic regression analysis showed that negative coping tendency was the common contributing factor of physical inactivity, internet addiction and psychological disorder. Coping tendency played a partial mediating effect in the relationship between psychological resilience and health problems, with a mediating effect of 37.93%.

Psychological resilience can not only affect health problems directly but also influence health problems indirectly through coping tendency. Educators and administrators in universities can apply effective measures to improve psychological resilience and positive coping to prevent or reduce health problems among undergraduates.

The aim of this study was to classify distinct subgroups of adolescents based on the severity levels of their mobile phone addiction and to investigate how these groups differed in terms of their psychosocial characteristics. We surveyed a total of 2,230 adolescents using three different questionnaires to assess the severity of their mobile phone addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, psychological resilience, and personality. Latent class analysis was employed to identify the subgroups, and we utilized Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and multinomial logistic regression for statistical analysis. All data analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 8.5.

We classified the subjects into subgroups based on their mobile phone addiction severity, and the results revealed a clear pattern with a three-class model based on the likelihood level of mobile phone addiction (p < 0.05). We examined common trends in psychosocial traits such as age, grade at school, parental education level, anxiety levels, and resilience. ROC analysis of sensitivity versus 1-specificity for various mobile phone addiction index (MPAI) scores yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.893 (95% CI, 0.879 to 0.905, p < 0.001). We also determined diagnostic value indices for potential cutoff points ranging from 8 to 40. The optimal cutoff value for MPAI was found to be >14, which corresponded to the maximum Youden index (Youden index = 0.751).

The latent classification process in this research confirmed the existence of three distinct mobile phone user groups. We also examined the psychosocial characteristics that varied in relation to the severity levels of addiction.

This study provides valuable insights into the categorization of adolescents based on the severity of mobile phone addiction and sheds light on the psychosocial characteristics associated with different addiction levels. These findings are expected to enhance our understanding of mobile phone addiction traits and stimulate further research in this area.
