The associations of sociocultural pressure, self-concept clarity, hope and negative emotional states among adolescents with overweight or obese
Purpose The study aimed to explore the psychological mechanisms linking sociocultural pressure to negative emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, in overweight and obese adolescents. Specifically, it focused on how self-concept clarity and hope may mediate this relationship, investigating the emotional impact of external pressures related to body image and their influence on adolescents' mental health.

Knowing Yourself in Relations
INTRODUCTION: The clarity of self-concept is a pivotal determinant of one's psychological well-being. While existing literature has consistently demonstrated associations between family relationships and self-concept clarity, significant gaps remain in understanding the temporal dynamics and directional influences between specific family relational patterns (particularly intimacy and conflict) and self-concept development during adolescence. METH…
Exploring the Association Between Rejection Sensitivity and Reactive Aggression
This multi-method study examines the relationship between rejection sensitivity and reactive aggression, extending prior research from intimate relationships to broader interpersonal contexts. Across three studies, Study 1 ( n = 1,104) used a cross-sectional dataset with both variable-centered (correlation) and person-centered (latent profile analysis, LPA) approaches to identify overall associations and high-risk subgroups. Study 2 ( n = 139) em…
The Associations of Sociocultural Pressure, Emotional States, Self-control, and Emotional Eating in Adolescents
The present study explored the associations of sociocultural pressure, emotional states (containing both negative affect and positive affect), self-control, and emotional eating in Chinese adolescents. Thousand three hundred forty-seven adolescents in China completed the Perceived Sociocultural Pressure Scale, the Trait Self-Control Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire. Serial mediation analy…
Sex differences in the longitudinal associations of emotional states and disinhibited eating
Evaluating a longitudinal multilevel mediation model of self-concept clarity, hope, and subjective well-being in adolescents
This study examined the longitudinal relationships among self-concept clarity (SCC), hope, and subjective well-being (i.e., emotional well-being and cognitive well-being). Specifically, we tested both the between-person and within-person associations of SCC with subjective well-being among 2,001 Chinese adolescents (age range 11–24 years, 42.9% males) during the first year. In addition, we examined the longitudinal mediating role of hope. Results…
Longitudinal relationships among sociocultural pressure for body image, self‐concept clarity, and emotional well‐being in adolescents
INTRODUCTION: This study examined the longitudinal relationships among sociocultural pressure for body image (SPBI), self-concept clarity (SCC), and emotional well-being (EWB) at both the between- and within-person levels. METHODS: The participants were 2001 Chinese adolescents (age range 11-24, 42.9% males). Recruitment of participants occurred for 1 year across three waves (i.e., 6 months apart across three cohorts). The baseline and follow-up …

The relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use among adolescents during the Covid‐19 pandemic
INTRODUCTION: Given the observed increased feelings of loneliness and problematic smartphone use among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, further research was needed to determine whether and how the increased loneliness of adolescents during such major public health crisis events affects the risk of problematic smartphone use among adolescents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use a…
Effect of Socioeconomic Status on Altruistic Behavior in Chinese Middle School Students
Previous studies have shown that socioeconomic status is correlated to altruistic behavior. The role of empathy as one of the motivations for altruistic behavior is gradually gaining attention among researchers. This study explores the role of empathy in the mechanisms of socioeconomic status and altruistic behavior in Chinese adolescents. A total of 253 middle school students from Northern China participated in this study, which included the dic…

Examining the Associations of Trait Self-control with Hedonic and Eudaimonic Well-being
Links between family cohesion and subjective well-being in adolescents and early adults
Development of self-concept clarity from ages 11 to 24
This study examined the growth trajectory of self-concept clarity (SCC) and explored the influence of this trajectory on the development of life satisfaction (LS) and positive affect (PA) among Chinese adolescents (N = 2001, 56.97% females). Results of latent growth models showed no significant mean-level change of SCC across three waves in a year. However, significant inter-individual variability was presented in the developmental patterns of SC…
Rejection Sensitivity and Reactive Aggression in Early Adults
Reactive aggression is an aggressive response to a perceived threat or provocation. It has detrimental effects on individuals and society. Rejection sensitivity, a disposition that one tends to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to social rejection, has been associated with reactive aggression. Considering that the mechanism underlying this link remains unclear, this study explores the mediating role of loneliness and maladap…
The Association of Sense of Power with Well-Being Outcomes
Studies have shown that sense of power is positively associated with subjective well-being, but this relationship has proved inconsistent in collectivist contexts. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sense of power, well-being outcomes, and psychological maladjustment in Chinese early adults, and further investigated the potential mediating role of hope. Sense of power, dispositional hope, life satisfaction, and positi…
