  • The effect of stressful life events on adolescents with depression: The chain mediating role of basic psychological needs and self-esteem

    Open Access•Furong Gou, Xin Tian et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Psychology•2026

    Adolescent depression has emerged as a critical global public health concern, with stressful life events identified as key environmental risk factors. However, the underlying psychological mechanisms in clinically diagnosed adolescents remain insufficiently explored. This study aims to examine whether basic psychological needs and self-esteem serve as sequential mediators in the relationship between stressful life events and depressive symptoms. …

  • The impact of family environment on social avoidance in adolescents with depressive disorders: A chain mediation model involving basic psychological needs and core self-evaluations

    Open Access•Xin Tian, Lili Gu et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2025

    This study found a chain mediation model where family environment affects basic psychological needs, which affects core self-evaluations, which in turn affects social avoidance. Based on these findings, interventions may focus on improving family communication and enhancing psychological empowerment to strengthen adolescents' core self-evaluations and satisfaction of basic psychological needs. Accordingly, integrated family support and mental hea…

  • Toward Postsecular Feminism: Intersectionality and the Religious Subjectivities of Women Migrant Workers in China

    Q Gao, Peter Hopkins et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of the American…•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 44

    This article investigates the subjectivities of Christian women migrant workers within the context of China’s social transformation, characterized by the interactive advancement of global capitalism, rural-to-urban migration, and “Christian fever.” Despite the burgeoning literature on women migrant workers in global capitalism within geographical scholarship, there has been less focus on women migrants’ religious subjectivity and agency. Drawing …

  • How ethnicity matters in labour studies: Harnessing ethnic marginality in Chinese manufacturing

    Open Access•Xinrong Ma, Heidi Østbø Haugen•ARTICLE•New Community•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 54

    This paper examines how the labour force is segmented through ethnic distinctions. These distinctions can be harnessed to increase capitalist profit. While critical labour studies have documented how gender, race, and migration status are used to generate cheap labour, the ways in which ethnicity structures the labour market are less well understood. We approach this issue with ethnographic data on Yi ethnic minority people from the Liangshan Yi …

  • Mobility and immobility: The fluctuation of citizenship of resettled Vietnamese refugees in China

    Xinrong Ma•ARTICLE•Journal of Chinese Governance•2021•References: 14

    Contradicting the existing refugee studies literature criticizing China’s passive engagement in international refugee protection, China accepted as many as 300,000 Vietnamese refugees (难侨) of Chinese descent in the wake of the Vietnam War and resettled them on state-owned farms in southern China. By focusing on Vietnamese refugees on a state-owned farm on the Leizhou Peninsula, South China, this study examines the (im)mobility experience of reset…

  • Ethnic minority empowerment and marginalization: Yi labour migrants outside China's Autonomous Regions

    Open Access•Xinrong Ma•ARTICLE•China Information•2019•Cited by: 6•References: 21

    While there is an emerging body of literature that examines labour resistance within industrial cities in China, there is, however, little research on ethnic minority labour migrants, in particular their interaction with the local state in migrant-receiving cities. This study fills this research gap by focusing on ethnic Yi labour migrants in the Pearl River Delta area. Based on seven and a half months of fieldwork, this article illustrates the w…
