  • Psychometric Validation of a Chinese Grit Scale in Chinese Parents

    Open AccessKelly Ka Lai Lam, Kaixin Liang et al.ARTICLEThe Family Journal2026

    Recent studies have associated parental grit with a range of desirable psychological and parenting-related outcomes, such as parental emotional exhaustion and parenting goals. However, within the Chinese context, the assessment and study of parental grit remain in a nascent stage. To contribute to advancing this field, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of a Chinese Grit Scale (CGS)—a general measure of trait-level grit—in a sample …

  • Bridging Awareness and Action

    Open AccessChunhui Yang, Tony Huiquan Zhang et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2026

    Although awareness of gender inequality can motivate collective action, it does not always translate into a greater willingness to engage in collective action to promote gender equality. This study investigated how sociocultural contexts and individual awareness of gender inequality jointly shaped normative and non-normative collective action intentions. Drawing on cross-cultural data from 61 societies ( N = 31,393), we found that individual awar…

  • Economic Inequality Increases Negative Affect

    Open AccessWenxuan Liu, Hongfei Du et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology2026

    Economic inequality has been increasing as a global trend and has profound implications for subjective well-being. However, the affective dimension of subjective well-being remains relatively underexplored. The present research aimed to understand the psychological impact of economic inequality on individuals’ affect and the underlying mechanisms. We hypothesized that economic inequality would decrease positive affect and increase negative affect…

  • Shift‐and‐Persist Strategies and Psychological Well‐Being

    Open AccessLihua Chen, Weijie Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2025

    OBJECTIVES: Shift-and-persist coping strategies have been demonstrated to be beneficial for physical health of individuals in low socioeconomic status (SES); however, their impacts on psychological well-being remain less clear. This study aimed to examine: (1) whether the protective effects of shift-and-persist with respect to psychological well-being (i.e., depressive symptoms and subjective well-being) only exist among adolescents with lower (v…

  • Longitudinal Impact of Parenting on Grit

    Open AccessKelly Ka Lai Lam, Shan Zhao et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Psychology2025

    Despite previous research demonstrating the importance of positive parenting in fostering adolescents' grit levels, very little is known about the longitudinal pathway and underlying mechanism of this relationship. Therefore, we conducted a three‐wave longitudinal study over 18 months among a sample of Chinese adolescents. Guided by the bioecological model of human development, the internal working model, and the broaden‐and‐build theory, we test…

  • Aiming high, achieving more, feeling well? Distinct trajectories of educational aspirations and implications for educational attainment and psychological well‐being

    Open AccessYe Zhi, Zhi Ye et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025References: 7

    Adolescents' educational aspirations have substantial implications for their educational and psychological outcomes. However, little is known about the heterogeneity in trajectories of educational aspirations throughout adolescence, as well as their potential antecedents and impacts. Using data from a 5-wave longitudinal study lasting for 8 years of a nationally representative sample of 2553 adolescents (aged 10-15 years at baseline survey, M age…

    Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a brief 10-day online self-compassion intervention, lasting around 25 min per day, in reducing complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) symptoms among university students with trauma history. Method: We adopted a 2 (intervention group vs. control group) × 3 (pre-test vs. post-test vs. one-month follow-up) randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. Results: Seventy-seven participa…

  • Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries

    Open AccessNatasza Kosakowska‐berezecka, Jennifer K Bosson et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2023

    Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible self-construction processes present in these countrie…

  • Love in the Time of Covid

    Open AccessRhonda Balzarini, Amy Muise et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2023

    External stressors can erode relationship quality, though little is known about what can mitigate these effects. We examined whether COVID-related stressors were associated with lower relationship quality, and whether perceived partner responsiveness—the extent to which people believe their partner understands, validates, and cares for them—buffers these effects. When people in relationships reported more COVID-related stressors they reported poo…

  • Association of Gratitude With Individual and Organizational Outcomes Among Volunteers

    Open AccessHongcui Yang, Chuqiao Liang et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2023

    By applying the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions to the context of volunteering, we investigated how gratitude is associated with individual (subjective well-being) and organizational (volunteer retention) outcomes through the positive thought–action repertoires of prosocial motivation and volunteer engagement. The data of 924 Chinese volunteers (mean age = 35.7 ± 9.1 years, 26.2% males) from voluntary organizations were collected th…

  • Changes in the networks of complex posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms among Chinese college students with childhood trauma

    Liuyue Huang, Peilian Chi et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2023

    Cross-sectional network analyses and comparisons revealed the characteristics of CPTSD networks at multiple time points, while the CLPN analysis identified the longitudinal dynamics of CPTSD symptoms. These provide insights for designing more targeted intervention plans for college students with childhood trauma. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Reports were included if they examined the link between early emotional maltreatment and adulthood romantic relationship well-being, presented statistics ne…

    The COVID-19 pandemic has touched many aspects of people's lives around the world, including their romantic relationships. While media outlets have reported that the pandemic is difficult for couples, empirical evidence is needed to test these claims and understand why this may be. In two highly powered studies ( N = 3271) using repeated measure and longitudinal approaches, we found that people who experienced COVID-19 related challenges (i.e., l…

  • Chinese perceive upward social mobility

    Open AccessHongfei Du, Yue Liang et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Psychology2021

    Perceptions of social mobility vary across countries. However, past studies have mostly focused on populations in Western developed countries. Little is known about perceptions of social mobility in non‐Western developing countries. The current paper focuses on Chinese perceptions of social mobility using a large‐scale nationally representative sample. We found that, overall, Chinese believed in upward social mobility.

  • Income Inequality Reduces Civic Honesty

    Open AccessHongfei Du, Anli Chen et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2021

    Income inequality has been shown to have a detrimental impact on a wide range of psychological, economic, and social outcomes. In this study, we focus on the role of income inequality in reducing civic honesty. Study 1 reanalyzed data of a “lost wallet” experiment conducted by Cohn, Maréchal, Tannenbaum, and Zuünd (2019) in 355 cities spread across 40 countries. Multilevel analyses indicated that citizens in countries with higher income inequalit…

  • The School-Ladder Effect

    Lihua Chen, Hongfei Du et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Subjective socioeconomic status (SES) is a well-established psychosocial determinant of adolescents' self-report health. However, whether low subjective SES is associated with stress-related physiological risks (e.g., dysregulations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity) remains uncertain. This study examined the impact of subjective SES with different reference groups (i.e., perception of family SES relative to other stu…
