Rethinking Longitudinal Studies of Media Violence and Aggression: A Rejoinder to Lacko et al.'s (2026) Comment
Lacko et al. responded to the concerns raised in our commentary, providing an opportunity to reflect on broader methodological and theoretical issues in longitudinal research on media violence and aggression. This exchange highlights five lessons for future research: (1) longitudinal studies should place greater emphasis on developmental processes; (2) analytical approaches and the interpretation of findings are important; (3) examining the longi…
New Wine in an Old Bottle? Exposure to Bullying-Related Media and Bullying Perpetration Behavior in Daily Life Among Adolescents
Although the effect of media violence on aggression has garnered major attention, little is known about the link between bullying-related media exposure and bullying behaviors. Across three studies, we examined this association among Chinese adolescents. Study 1 used a large sample of adolescents ( n =10,391, 51.4% boys) to investigate the link between bullying-related media exposure and bullying perpetration. Using another adolescent sample ( n …
Knowing Yourself in Relations: Longitudinal Associations Between Family Intimacy, Family Conflict, and Self‐Concept Clarity in Adolescents
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…
Caught in the daily scroll: How upward social comparison fuels daily anxiety during short video use among Chinese young adults
The rapid growth of short video platforms has raised concerns about their potential impact on young people’s mental health and well-being. However, the dynamic relationship between short video use and daily anxiety symptoms remains poorly understood. To address this gap, this study employed the experience sampling method (ESM) and dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) to examine their bidirectional relationship in a representative sample of…
Best Practice Procedures in Longitudinal Research of Violent Media Effects: Reanalysis of the Lacko et al. (2024) Study as a Case Study
The primary concern about violent media is their potential long‐term harmful effects on children, which are investigated in longitudinal studies. In this article, we describe best practice procedures for longitudinal studies of violent media effects using the Lacko et al. (2024) study as a case study. Lacko et al. concluded that exposure to violent video games had no significant effect on aggression. However, a critical examination of their study…
Emotion regulation motives in adolescence shape regulatory strategy use
INTRODUCTION: Emotion regulation (ER) motives (i.e., the reasons individuals regulate their emotions) are key factors influencing the development of adolescents' ER abilities. However, age- and gender-related trends in adolescents' ER motives, as well as their impact on the use of ER strategies, remain unclear. METHODS: We recruited 5629 participants from two schools in Southwest China (M = 15.18, SD = 1.73; 45.11% male) to complete the Emotion R…
How Does Trait Anger Associate With Aggression Among Chinese College Students? The Role of Anger Rumination and Locus of Control
Aggression is a prevalent problem and negatively affects the mental health among Chinese college students. Trait anger has been found to be a risk factor for aggression, but little is known about the factors that may explain or influence this association. The current study aimed to explore the relationship between college students' trait anger and aggression, as well as the mediating role of anger rumination and the moderating role of internal an…

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 …
What Makes Female Players Pay for Female Mobile Games
Extant mobile game research has paid great attention to men who play mobile games while ignoring female players. Although “willingness to pay” (WTP) is regarded as an important dependent variable in gaming research, few studies have explored this variable from an anthropomorphic perspective. To fill these gaps in the literature, this study aims to study the antecedents of WTP, with a focus on virtual in-game items and the mediating effect of work…

Violent video game exposure and bullying perpetration among Chinese adolescents: The moderating role of belief in a just world
Exposure to violent video games is associated with aggressive behaviors among adolescents. However, not all adolescents who play violent video games demonstrate bullying behaviors. Based on the General Aggression Model (GAM), this cross‐sectional study examined the interactive effect of individuals (i.e., belief in a just world [BJW]) and situational factors (i.e., violent video game exposure [VVGE]) on bullying perpetration. Using a representati…
