AI-enhanced ethical decision-making in social work: Development and testing of an application-specific language model
We develop and test an application-specific language model for supporting ethical decision-making in social work. The model is built using Gemini 2.5 pro with seven agents, six of which are responsible for information aggregation of possible actions, relevant ethical issues, principles, standards, laws and values while the seventh is responsible for summarising the information and recommending and justifying issue-related decisions. We further te…
Taoist thinking style and social workers’ vicarious trauma: The mediating roles of individual adaptabilities
Guided by an ancient Chinese philosophy, Taoism, we investigate whether Taoist thinking style, including naturalness, non-striving, and acceptance, has the potential to lower vicarious trauma among social workers and the mediating role of individual adaptabilities. In a survey of 547 Chinese social workers, regression and path modeling showed that Taoist thinking was associated with less vicarious trauma, and that this association was largely acc…
Mitigating burnout and distress among Chinese social workers during the Covid-19 pandemic through online mindfulness-based interventions
This study compares the efficacy of 8-week online instructorguided mindfulness (IGM) and self-guided mindfulness (SGM) interventions in reducing burnout and distress among social workers in Shanghai during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. By employing a quasi-experimental design, we recruited frontline social workers who had the option of joining either the IGM or the SGM group. The primary outcomes were burnout and job-related stress, while the se…
Test Performance of Artificial Intelligence in the Chinese Social Work Certification Examination
Purpose: The study checked the validity of the entry-level Chinese Social Work Certification Examination in 2024 and tested the social work knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) by exploring the performance of two systems—ChatGPT 4.0 and ERNIE Bot 4.0. Method: We applied zero-shot learning to the testing models, determined the correctness of their answers based on the reference books, and analyzed their reasons behind. Result: The results sho…
Clarifying the differential factors with adolescent delinquency, abuse, self-injury, and mental health problems: Machine-learning and text mining analysis of a large sample of social work case records
This study uses machine-learning and text-mining techniques to classify social work case records to better distinguish among adolescents with four types of problems—delinquency, abuse, self-injury, and mental health problems—and identify the differential factors. We selected 573 cases recorded from a local social service organization in Shanghai, China, with 279 delinquent cases, 76 abused cases, 37 self-injured cases, and 181 cases with mental h…
Romantic Relationships with Virtual Agents and People’s Marriage Intention in Real Life: An Exploration of the Mediation Mechanisms
Does playing video games improve psychological resilience? The mediating roles of in-game positive and negative affect, sense of competence, and social connection
The Efficacy of an SFBT-Based Positive Psychology Intervention in Promoting University Students’ Post-Traumatic Growth and Psychological Resilience After the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Quasi-Experiment
Purpose: This study examines the efficacy of a positive psychology intervention involving solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) techniques in promoting university students' post-traumatic growth and psychological resilience after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The research hypotheses were tested via a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests including three groups: intervention ( n = 28), active control ( n = 25), and control groups ( …
Government Support, Professional Support, and Vicarious Trauma in Social Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Mediating Roles of Compassion Fatigue and Professional Identity
COVID-19 has had a profound effect on frontline social workers as well as their clients, and mitigating the risk of recurrence warrants an investigation of the individual and contextual factors associated with social workers’ experience of helper-related trauma. In this study authors explore the effects of government support and professional support on social workers’ vicarious trauma and the mediating roles of compassion fatigue and professional…
