Less is more when time is scarce: How time poverty enhances minimalistic consumption through increased need for order
Time poverty – the chronic feeling of having insufficient time – has become pervasive in modern life, yet its influence on minimalistic consumption remains unexplored. Drawing on compensatory control theory, we propose that time poverty promotes minimalistic consumption through heightened need for order. Three experimental studies ( N = 660) provide evidence. Studies 1 and 2 suggest that time poverty causally increases preference for minimalistic…

Does depression drive technology overuse or vice-versa? a cross-lagged panel analysis of bidirectional relationships among Chinese university students
These findings reveal complex, pattern-specific bidirectional relationships between technology use and depression, with important temporal precedence differences. The results suggest that certain technology use contexts may contribute more strongly to depression development, while depression may drive other specific usage patterns. These findings have implications for targeted intervention approaches addressing both depression and problematic tec…

Shifts in soil microbial diversity and functions during continuous cropping of strawberry
Soil microbial community is particularly essential in the sustainable cropping systems, which may partially account for the vulnerability of soils in continuous cropping (CC). However, the succession patterns and drivers of microbial communities in CC strawberry fields need to be further elucidated. Shifts in the structure and function of soil bacteria and fungi during strawberry CC (0, 2, 5, 15, and 18 years) were investigated using the Illumina…

Despite numerous applications in practice, the detailed effects of tailor-made MBEs for SUD are unclear. Objecti…
Emotional responses to perceived haze in daily life: The moderation of dispositional mindfulness
Recent research suggests negative emotions result from haze. Yet there has been limited empirical work exploring the potential protective factors which positively influence emotional responses to perceived haze. Moreover, other research suggests dispositional mindfulness play an important role in reducing reactivity to threatening stimuli. The current study aimed to investigate the relation between perceived haze and negative emotions, and explor…
