Research on the reform of aesthetic education courses in higher education institutions under the theory of psychological compensation
The objective of aesthetic education courses in higher education is to nurture students’ spiritual growth. The theory of psychological compensation offers a significant perspective for achieving these educational goals. Drawing on survey data from a single university in Guangxi, China ( N = 653), this exploratory study examines how aesthetic education courses may support students’ psychological compensation processes. Through questionnaire survey…
Ownership and agency modulate self-positivity effect
In value assessment, the self-positivity effect refers to the tendency to assign higher value to self-related objects. However, the distinct and interactive contributions of ownership and agency to this effect remain unclear. Across four behavioral studies (total N = 137) and an event-related potentials (ERP) study (N = 30), we manipulated ownership and agency using an object evaluation paradigm while recording subjective value ratings and P300 a…
Enterprise digital transformation and inefficient investment
Amid escalating economic complexity, can digital transformation address persistent corporate investment inefficiencies? Utilizing data from Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies during 2012–2023, this study examines how digital transformation influences inefficient investment under the dual pressures of operational diversification and environmental uncertainty. We employ a corporate digital transformation index evaluation system encompas…
Evaluating mental health apps under uncertainty
Despite the proliferation of mental health apps (MHAs), their evaluation remains challenging due to inconsistent clinical validity, poor long-term engagement, and limited consideration of expert disagreement. Existing evaluations often use single-point scores or star ratings for decision-makers’ assessments, overlooking the uncertainty, variability, and emotional factors that shape decision-making. Additionally, many mHealth studies employ multi-…
Oral microbiome dysbiosis is associated with chronic respiratory diseases
Background The oral microbiome has been increasingly recognized for its role in systemic health through the oral–lung axis. However, population-level evidence linking oral microbial diversity and composition with chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) remains limited. Methods We analyzed data from 4,384 adults in the 2009–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), defining CRD by self-reported chronic obstructive pulmonary diseas…
Sense of English Learning Gain
This study addressed the lack of a validated scale for assessing students’ Sense of English Learning Gain (SELG), despite the increasing emphasis on English proficiency in China. The scale development process followed a rigorous three-step methodology: conceptualization through thematic analysis ( n = 171), exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for scale development ( n = 387), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for scale validation ( n = 755). D…
A study exploring predictors of cell phone use while walking among adolescents based on theory of planned behavior
The key points to preventing teenagers from using mobile phones while walking are to instill a correct attitude toward dangerous behavior, build a stronger sense of norm, help them form good habits in mobile phone use, and improve their ability to control their behavior
Expanding self, breaking stereotypes, and building hospitality
Mindfulness is a critical instrument in sustainable tourism development. However, existing literature on mindfulness' role in hospitality and tourism sustainability has mostly focused on tourists' perspective. In this study, we shift perspective to gain insight into how and when residents' mindfulness relates to their attitudes and behaviors in host-tourist relation. Integrating mindfulness and motivated information processing theories, we develo…
Sustainable cross-border tourism management
The psyche-altering effects of COVID-19 pandemic on sustainable tourism behaviors are underexplored. More so, the scant research largely presents tourists’ perspective. Extending this body of work, our study – deploying evolutionary tourism paradigm, examines whether, the why and when perceived COVID-19 infectability (pathogen avoidance motive) impairs resident hospitality, using a multi-wave data from MTurk U.S. workers (N = 857). As predicted, …

City Health Examination and Evaluation of Territory Spatial Planning for SDG11 in China
City health examination and evaluation of territorial spatial planning is a new policy tool in China. However, research on city health examination and evaluation of territorial spatial planning is still in the exploratory stage in China. Guided by sustainable cities and communities (SDG11), a reasonable city health examination and evaluation index system for Xining City in Qinghai Province is constructed in this paper. The improved technique for …

Am I Gonna Get a Job? Graduating Students’ Psychological Capital, Coping Styles, and Employment Anxiety
Thoughts about life after school can be frightening for college students. The uncertainty about employment expectancies can engender crippling anxiety, especially in a time of a major pandemic—COVID-19, and urgent attention is needed. This study, drawing on the self-determination theory, demonstrates preliminary protective effect of positive psychological capital (PsyCap) on employment anxiety among a relatively understudied group—graduating coll…
A Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis of Changes in Left-Behind Children’s Mental Health in China
A considerable body of research using the Mental Health Test (MHT) has explored the psychological repercussions of the physical separation of children from one or both parents as they pursue better economic prospects in cities. Generally, these studies compare the mental health status (MHS) between left-behind children (LBC) and non-left-behind children (NLBC). That notwithstanding, little is known about the real policy impact of these studies on…
Covid-19 Pandemic and International Students’ Mental Health in China
International students in China were among the first group of individuals to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic's impact on their mental health is underexplored. This study-utilizing web-based survey data (N = 381), presents preliminary reports using ANOVA and MIMIC analytic approaches. Following the clinical demarcation of the 21-item version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21), we found 24.6%, 38.3%, and 4…
Early-Warning Measures for Ecological Security in the Qinghai Alpine Agricultural Area
The study area of this paper is the Qinghai alpine agricultural mountain area. An ecological security early-warning model is used to identify the early warning signs of ecosystem destruction, environmental pollution and resource depletion in districts and counties from 2011 to 2018. A combination of qualitative and quantitative early-warning models is used to predict the existence of hidden or sudden advance warnings. The grey (1, 1) model (GM) i…

Can Good People Commit Evil Acts? Evidence of Ego-depletion on Individuals' Altruistic Behavior
摘要
Meditation Makes A Peaceful State of Mind
摘要: 虽然前人已有不少研究发现冥想具有减少个体焦虑、缓解抑郁水平等功能, 并且也已经揭示了冥想促进情绪调节能力的认知神经科学机理, 但对于冥想会怎样调制人们对于外部施加的正、负性情绪刺激(图片)的情绪反应尚不清楚, 冥想究竟会使人们对外部施加的情绪刺激的敏感性增强还是减弱?如果冥想能够调节和缓解人们的情绪反应的话, 那么, 这种调节作用是“双向的” (即对正性或负性情绪刺激能产生具有不同效价方向的调节作用)还是“单向的” (即对正性或负性情绪刺激产生具有相同效价方向的调节作用)?为了检验和回答上述问题, 本研究以无冥想(或相关)经验的大学生为被试, 通过随机实验组、控制组前后测的实验设计, 考察了冥想训练能否影响被试对于正、负性情绪图片的情绪唤起。62名大学生被试被随机分配到实验组和控制组(每组31人), 实验组参与连续5天、每天20 min的冥想练习, 控制组在此期间的控制任务为通常的闭眼休息。结果显示:冥想组在练习过程中的脑α波指数显著升高; 与控制组相比, 冥想组被试对消极图片的…
Implicit Positive Emotion Counteracts Ego Depletion
Previous researchers have shown that individual acts of self-regulation deplete individual psychological resources, resulting in poor subsequent self-regulation and ego depletion. It has also been shown that to counteract ego depletion, besides getting enough sleep or rest, positive emotions are important. In this study we aimed to establish whether or not implicit positive emotion is important in countering ego depletion. In 2 experiments measur…
The Simulation of Urban System Dynamics in Atlantic Canada, 1951–1991
A dynamic urban model is used to study the post‐war evolution of the Atlantic Canada urban system. The computer‐based simulation model is calibrated for the period 1951‐86 and then employed to predict the 1991 population of each cma and ca within the system. The simulation results show that, to a large extent, the evolution of the system can be understood in terms of endogenous system dynamics rather than exogenous events. Specifically, competiti…
