Objective This study investigates how partner binegativity, varying by partner gender and sexual orientation, contributes to intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Chinese cisgender bisexual individuals. Background Bisexual individuals experience higher rates of IPV victimization than heterosexual and lesbian/gay individuals. Binegativity (i.e., negative attitudes toward bisexuality), which likely varies across relationships with dif…
The Bright Side of Gender Nonconformity Among Chinese Cisgender LGQ Individuals
Purpose: While research has consistently linked gender nonconformity to adverse mental health outcomes among lesbian, gay, and queer (LGQ) individuals, its connection to positive outcomes-such as life satisfaction-remains less understood. Drawing on a positive psychological framework, this study investigates the relationship between gender nonconformity and life satisfaction among cisgender Chinese LGQ individuals, examining the roles of positive…

Multitask-Based Self-Supervised Learning for Recommendation in Social Systems
In computational social systems, recommendation functionality plays a pivotal role in influencing user behavior, enhancing user experience, and driving engagement. To help recommendation functionality to better suggest relevant content or items, the social platforms usually utilize large-scale knowledge discovery techniques to analyze trends in user interactions and extract patterns from large datasets. Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is cruc…

Optimism and friendship quality as mediators between trait emotional intelligence and life satisfaction in Chinese adolescents
Using a convenience sample of adolescents ( N = 1609; 63.5% female; M age = 16.54), this study explored whether EI predicted adolescent life satisfaction and whether friendship quality and optimism mediated this relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The structural equation modeling revealed that EI predicted adolescent life satisfaction, friendship quality, and optimism, friendship quality partially mediated the relationship between EI and l…
Perceived social support and post-traumatic growth 12 years after the Wenchuan earthquake
Employment Decline During the Great Recession
Over 8,000,000 jobs were lost in the Great Recession, creating widespread economic hardship. This paper documents a novel and robust empirical regularity that highly concentrated local labour markets experienced larger employment declines during the Great Recession. Through setting up a model with heterogeneous firms facing idiosyncratic productivity shocks, I show that firm size distribution summarised by the Herfindahl-Hirschman index plays a c…
Rumination, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms, and Posttraumatic Growth Among Wenchuan Earthquake Adult Survivors
This study examined the long-term effects of the Wenchuan earthquake among adult survivors. Specifically, it explored the role of perceived social support (PSS) in the relationship between rumination and posttraumatic growth (PTG) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Data were collected from March to July 2020 using a youth survivor sample ( n = 476) of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Participants were divided into three groups depend…

The relationship between adult attachment and mental health
Attachment theory provides a framework for understanding the correlations among interpersonal relationships, stress, and health. Moreover, adult attachment is an important predictor of mental health. However, there is a lack of systematic reviews that simultaneously examine the associations between adult attachment and both positive and negative indicators of mental health. Consequently, we meta-analyzed 224 studies examining the associations bet…

Cigarette Smoking and Its Associations with Substance Use and HIV-Related Sexual Risks among Chinese Men Who Have Sex with Men
China has the largest population of male smokers globally. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at greater risk of cigarette smoking compared to the general population. Limited data are available regarding cigarette smoking and its associations with other health issues among Chinese MSM. Eligible MSM (n = 1100) were recruited from mainland China using an online national cross-sectional survey conducted in 2014-2015. Socio-demographic characteristi…
Impact of parental absence on insomnia and nightmares in Chinese left-behind adolescents
Heterosexual Marital Intention
The present study explored the factors that influence the likelihood that 217 Chinese gay/bisexual men will engage in heterosexual marriage, focusing on the Chinese cultural context, in which filial duties to marry, have children, and support one's parents in their old age are taken seriously. Data on heterosexual marital intention (HMI) were examined in relation to demographics, internalized homophobia, homosexual identity formation (HIF), perce…

Internalized homophobia, mental health, sexual behaviors, and outness of gay/bisexual men from Southwest China
These findings contribute to our understanding of internalized homophobia in China, and highlight the need to decrease gay-related psychological stress/distress and improve public health services
Sexual sensation seeking, sexual compulsivity, and high-risk sexual behaviours among gay/bisexual men in Southwest China
High-risk sexual behaviours (HRSBs), such as having male casual sexual partners (MCSPs) and unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), are combined with a high prevalence of HIV infection among gay/bisexual men. Sexual sensation seeking (SSS) and sexual compulsivity (SC), which are intrapersonal factors, were observed to have associations with HRSB among gay/bisexual men in Western nations. The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between S…
