More Than Causes: Unveiling Bidirectional Relationships Between Maladaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies and Internalizing Problems in Adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (MCERSs) have been generally conceptualized as causes of adolescent internalizing problems. This conceptualization was dominant in both theoretical frameworks and practical applications. However, it may not fully capture the complex relationships between MCERSs and internalizing problems. In this study, we challenge this assumption and propose an alternative perspective: MCERSs are…
What’s the optimal usage pattern? Latent profile analysis of Chinese young adults’ social networking site use and its association with subjective well-being
Contributing to the active debate about how the use of social networking site (SNS) affects mental health, this study uses a person-centered approach to examine the relationship between SNS use and components of subjective well-being. Unlike previous research that primarily employed variable-centered approaches and focused on the active-passive use dichotomy, this study considered a range of SNS activities across different communication contexts …

Risk Perception, Cooperation, and Emotional Distress During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Exploring Adaptive Risk Perception
During the COVID-19 pandemic, while risk perception may promote public cooperation with pandemic prevention, it may also increase emotional distress and thus endanger mental health. This study aimed to examine whether there is an adaptive risk perception pattern that fits both needs of pandemic control and mental health protection. Two waves of Chinese participants (N sample 1 = 1633, N sample 2 = 1899) completed the Scale of Pandemic Risk Percep…
The development and validation of the extended active-passive social media use scale
Mixed findings regarding the relationship between social media (SM) use and mental health have left the research field at somewhat of a crossroads, with one significant requirement being a comprehensive tool to measure SM use. In an effort to advance relevant research, this study extends the common ‘active-passive model’ of SM use to develop and validate a comprehensive scale. This scale will measure complex SM behaviors, focusing on subtypes of …
Linking Parent-Child, Teacher-Child, and Peer Relationship Quality to Shyness in Childhood and Adolescence: A Three-Level Meta-Analysis
Research Findings: Shyness in children and adolescents is closely related to relationship quality, but integrated quantitative research remains limited. To address this gap, three independent meta-analyses were conducted to examine the associations between parent-child, peer, and teacher-child relationship quality and shyness. This meta-analysis included 76 studies, 303 effect sizes, and a total of 39,289 participants. Results showed significant …
Peer victimization and adolescent's social adjustment: Testing the mechanism of the healthy context paradox in a two‐wave study
A recurring paradox in recent literature is that victims' psychological adjustment outcomes worsen as classroom-level victimization declines. Due to the limited and inconsistent findings from longitudinal studies, this two-wave study aims to examine whether the impact of individual-level victimization on three basic psychological needs (autonomy, relatedness, and competence needs) and internalizing problems (anxiety and depression) varies across …

Impressions matter more than privacy: The moderating roles of affordances in the relation between social anxiety and online safety-seeking behaviors
Though socially anxious individuals tend to seek safety, little is known about whether this relationship depends on context, including the affordances of social networking sites (SNSs) to provide anonymity and publicness, and whether safety-seeking can be explained by impression management, privacy calculus or both. Based on the psychobiological model of social anxiety, we conducted two studies (Study 1: N = 103, Study 2: N = 1,184) to examine th…
The Impact of Weibo Features on User’s Information Comprehension: The Mediating Role of Cognitive Load
Social media, such as Microblogs, have become an important source for people to obtain information. However, we know little about how this would influence our comprehension over online information. Based on the cognitive load theory, this research explores whether and how two important features of Weibo, which are the feedback function and information fragmentation, would increase cognitive load and may in turn hinder users’ information comprehen…
Decreased Covid-related adaptive behavior and increased negative affect: A multivariate latent growth curve model
Data from a longitudinal questionnaire investigation of three time waves were used to investigate affective and behavioral changes and their covariant relationship among Chinese general population during the COVID-19 pandemic from March to May 2020. 145 participants aging from 15 to 63 completed three waves of survey. Latent growth curve analyses found that negative affect gradually increased as the pandemic continued. A faster increase in negati…

The Reciprocal Relationship Between Passive Social Networking Site (SNS) Usage and Users’ Subjective Well-Being
Prior studies have found an inconclusive relationship between social networking site (SNS) usage and users’ subjective well-being. Passive SNS usage may be detrimental to subjective well-being, because it cannot provide social support and may evoke envy and jealousy. Conversely, it is also possible that lower subjective well-being may predict higher passive SNS usage, which can be used as a means to relieve stress. To examine this reciprocal proc…

Life satisfaction moderates the associations between motives and excessive social networking site usage
It has been suggested that excessive social networking sites (SNS) users might use SNS as a method of coping with their life problems and that psychosocial well-being variables might interact with users’ motives for using SNS in predicting problematic SNS use. The present research explores whether the association between motives (i.e. self-expression and passing time) and excessive SNS usage is moderated by the user's life satisfaction. A total o…
