The role of physical activity avoidance and loneliness in physical activity participation among adolescents: A cross-lagged mediation analysis
The Mediating Role of Self-Control Between Parental Attachment and Adolescent Delinquency
Adolescent delinquency is a major concern in Iranian society, influenced by familial and social factors. The present study examined whether self-control mediated the relationship between parental attachment and delinquency among 528 adolescents (63% female) aged 15–17 years recruited from high schools in Tehran. Mediation analysis showed that stronger parental attachment was associated with greater self-control, which in turn predicted lower deli…
Enhancing resilience in ageing: The role of age-friendly community and individual health in reducing seismic risk
Chinese version of the Tendency to Avoid Physical Activity and Sport (Tapas) scale: Testing unidimensionality, measurement invariance, concurrent validity, and known-group validity among Taiwanese you…
The Chinese version of the TAPAS is a valid and reliable instrument assessing individuals' avoidance of physical activity and sports due to underlying psychosocial issues among Taiwanese youths. It is anticipated to be applied within a large Asian population, as well as cross-cultural comparisons, for further explorations in health, behavioral and epidemiological research and practice
Digital traps: How technology fuels nomophobia and insomnia in Taiwanese college students
Weight stigma is associated with body mass index among college students in Taiwan: The mediated role of internalized weight stigma
Because perceived weight stigma may significantly impact changes in BMI through internalized weight stigma, treatment strategies to ameliorate self-stigma may enhance the results of weight-reduction programs. Such treatment strategies should be considered for inclusion in weight-loss interventions
Reciprocal Relationships Between Problematic Social Media Use, Problematic Gaming, and Psychological Distress Among University Students: A 9-Month Longitudinal Study
Background: The causal relationships between two specific types of problematic use in internet-related activities [i.e., problematic social media use (PSMU) and problematic gaming (PG)] and psychological distress remain controversial. The present study investigated the temporal relationships between PSMU, PG, and psychological distress (i.e., anxiety, depression) in university students. Methods: = 266; mean = 20.95 years (SD = 5.63)] were recruit…
Relationship Between Weight Status and Self-Image Mediated by Pubertal Timing and Athletic Competence: A Cohort Study With Taiwanese Adolescents
Background: Self-image reflects overall self-acceptance in developing adolescents. Using a representative cohort of Taiwanese youth, this study aims to explore the relationship between weight status, pubertal timing, athletic competence, and adolescent self-image. Methods: ). Pubertal timing was defined using the Pubertal Developmental Scale, which mainly measured physical changes in puberty. Athletic competence was assessed by experiences with p…
Temporal associations between physical activity and three types of problematic use of the internet: A six-month longitudinal study
The Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 and the modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 in Taiwan: Factor structure and concurrent validity
Based on the findings, the Taiwan versions of the YFAS 2.0 and mYFAS 2.0 appear to be valid and reliable instruments assessing food addiction
Reciprocal Peer Network Processes on Substance Use and Delinquent Behavior in Adolescence: Analysis from a Longitudinal Youth Cohort Study
Exploring the Interaction Effects of Gender Contentedness and Pubertal Timing on Adolescent Longitudinal Psychological and Behavioral Health Outcomes
Background: Off-time pubertal timing (PT) and non-conforming gender identity have been reported to predict adverse health and well-being in adolescents. However, the joint effects of these two factors are less addressed. We aimed to investigate the main and interaction effects of gender identity, proxied by perceived gender contentedness (GC), and PT on longitudinal adolescent psychological and behavioral outcomes. Methods: Data ( N = 1806, M age…

Exploring Mediation Roles of Child Screen-Viewing between Parental Factors and Child Overweight in Taiwan
Children's screen-viewing behavior is influenced by parents' own screen-viewing hours and the parental rules set for screen-viewing time. However, whether childhood obesity is associated with these three factors has not been widely investigated in Chinese populations. We examined the relationships between parental rules, parental screen-viewing, child screen-viewing and child overweight. Questionnaires were distributed to 1300 parents who had chi…
Psychological Pathway from Obesity-Related Stigma to Anxiety via Internalized Stigma and Self-Esteem among Adolescents in Taiwan
The objective of this research was to examine the pathway from public stigma, to perceived stigma, to depression in adolescents via internalized stigma. Adolescents in grade 7 through 9 from a junior high school in Changhua County in Taiwan completed self-administered surveys from March to July in 2018. Adolescents were asked questions regarding depressive symptoms, obesity-related perceived stigma, and internalized stigma. Structural equation mo…

Relationship between Parenting Styles and Gender Role Identity in College Students
The relationship between perceived parenting styles and gender role identity was examined in college students. 230 undergraduate students (48 men, 182 women; 18-23 years old) responded to the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI). The hypothesis was that parenting styles (authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive for both fathers and mothers) would be significantly associated with gender role identity (un…
A Goodness-of-Fit Test for the Latent Class Model When Expected Frequencies are Small
In this paper, a goodness-of-fit test for the latent class model is presented. The test uses only the limited information in the second-order marginal distributions from a set of k dichotomous variables, and it is intended for use when k is large and the sample size, n, is moderate or small. In that situation, a 2k contingency table formed by the full cross-classification of k variables will be sparse in the sense that a high proportion of cell f…
