We used county-level administrative data (n = 273) to explore and compare program participants’…

  • Depression and daytime dysfunction centralize the fatigue–sleep cascade in island firefighters

    Open AccessYudan Liu, Zhihong Li et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Depression (S4) and daytime dysfunction (P7) may serve as key nodes linking sleep and affective processes; fatigue may relate to psychological distress via sleep; and tenacity (C1) could play an upstream protective role. Sleep status and shift work may reorganize network structure without necessarily altering global connectivity. Targeted interventions may consider subjective sleep perception and psychological resilience in island-based firefight…

  • Combined effects of distal and proximal interpersonal stress and FKBP5 gene on adolescent self-injury behavior

    Rong Bai, Yemiao Gao et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2023

    摘要: 本研究采用为期2年的纵向追踪设计, 在436名青少年中考察远端童年期虐待与近端同伴侵害对青少年自伤的相对作用与影响模式, 以及FKBP5基因在其中发挥的调节作用。结果发现:(1)远近端人际压力均能显著预测青少年自伤行为, 但二者的相对作用在青春期不同阶段会发生变化; (2)在全样本中, 远近端人际压力均以“压力放大”模式影响自伤行为, 即高童年期虐待放大近期同伴侵害对自伤行为的预测作用; (3)纳入FKBP5基因后, 在AA纯合子青少年中仍符合“压力放大模型”, 但在AC和CC基因型青少年中, 影响模式则符合“压力敏感模型”, 即经历高童年期虐待的青少年对近期同伴侵害更加敏感, 在低同伴侵害下自伤得分相对较高。研究结果提示, 远近端人际压力对青少年自伤的特定影响模式因其遗传基因而有所差异
