A systematic review of impacts of Covid-19 on depression and anxiety among general populations around the world
The association between self-compassion and psychological distress among Chinese college students
Guided by the theory of self-compassion and the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, we aimed to assess how self-compassion is related to psychological distress among Chinese college students. A convenience sample of 2,263 Chinese college students from four universities participated in this cross-sectional study. They completed measures assessing (un)compassionate self-responding, positive emotions, negative emotions, resilience resourc…

Sexual Self-Identification Offsets and Self-Stigma Moderates
Gender and sexual minorities still face stigma-related stress from all areas of society. The rejection-identification model (RIM) proposes that some stigmatized individuals may respond to the negative effects of stigma on well-being by enhancing their self-identification. However, this does not apply to all gender and sexual minorities. Grounded in minority stress theory and the RIM, this study examined how stigma-related stressors (i.e. perceive…
Perceived stigma and post‐traumatic growth among potentially Covid‐19‐infected individuals inside and outside Wuhan
Drawing upon the social identity approach, the present study explored the interrelationships among perceived stigma (both group‐based and personal), post‐traumatic growth (PTG), and their underlying mechanisms. Cross‐sectional data were collected from 3100 residents (female: n = 1667, 53.77%; male: n = 1433, 46.23%) of Hubei Province, China, aged between 12 and 65 years. The PROCESS macro (Model 7) in SPSS was employed to examine the moderated me…

Self-Criticism and Subjective Emptiness Among Gay and Bisexual Men
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of a Multicomponent Positive Psychological Intervention
Purpose: Although multicomponent positive psychological interventions (MPPIs) effectively improve well-being, it is crucial to examine which intervention component plays a critical role. Method: This cluster randomized controlled trial assigned 221 immigrants from mainland China to Hong Kong to either an MPPI arm ( n = 116, 11 clusters) or an MPPI + Information arm ( n = 105, 11 clusters). Both arms aimed to enhance three intervention outcomes: r…
Investigating challenges and family resilience among Chinese families with cross‐boundary students
Targeting families with cross‐boundary students (CBSs, 跨境学童) who travel daily between Mainland China and Hong Kong for schooling, this study aimed to identify (a) the challenges that CBS families experience in their daily lives, especially during and following the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protest, and (b) the key resources and the interactions of these recourses within and across family systems that strengthened family resilience. Data from semi‐struc…
The Psychosocial Correlates of Non-suicidal Self-Injury Within a Sample of Adolescents With Mood Disorder
Background: According to the integrated theoretical model, adolescents' behaviors were the outcome of the complex interplay between multiple levels. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a serious and high prevalent problem among adolescents with mood disorders. However, a systematic perspective on psychosocial correlates among Chinese clinical adolescents is still rare. Method: The impact of several factors at the individual (i.e., sex, age, self-e…

The Online Strength-Informed Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Among Covid-19-Affected Adolescents
The online SACT is a promising model to reduce anxiety symptoms and promote QoL among adolescents during the current COVID-19 pandemic, which show both short- and long-term benefit to the participants
Contributions and Challenges of Public Health Social Work Practice during the Initial 2020 Covid-19 Outbreak in China
Social workers contributed significantly to the promotion of public and community health during the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in China. Based on a quasi-scoping review of articles on social work practice during that outbreak, this reflective article elucidates how social workers contributed in three chronological stages. In the early stage (late January and February 2020), social workers provided community services offered as part of the gover…
Enhancing resilience in cross-boundary families
Cross-boundary children and their parents suffer from various stressors and mental health problems. This pilot study aimed to investigate whether an emotion regulation parallel intervention for children and parents enhanced resilience and mental health among both groups. A total of 38 pairs of cross-boundary children and parents participated in concurrent but separate intervention sessions. Three waves of tests (i.e. pre-, post-, and one-month fo…
Optimal movement behaviors
As one of the first to examine the correlates of adherence to the 24 h movement guidelines and the relationship between anxiety symptoms and meeting the guidelines among Chinese university students, our findings contribute to the growing body of evidence linking movement behaviors, psychosocial correlates, and heath indicators. Schools and health providers can encourage movement behaviors that follow the guidelines on campus
Measuring character strengths as possible protective factors against suicidal ideation in older Chinese adults
This study indicated that character strengths were associated with low levels of suicidal ideation. Therefore, the protective factors against suicidal ideation among older adults should be given additional attention
Strength-Based Flourishing Intervention to Promote Resilience in Individuals With Physical Disabilities in Disadvantaged Communities
Purpose: The current study developed a strength-based flourishing intervention (SFI) and examined its efficacy on fostering the resilience of people with physical disabilities in poor areas, using a randomized (1:1) parallel-group controlled, and single-blind trial. Method: A total of 51 participants ( M age = 42.16, standard deviation = 8.42; 43.14% males; 29 for the intervention group, whereas 22 for the control group) completed preintervention…
Linguistic variation in the discourse of corporate annual reports
Combining the frameworks of multi-dimensional (MD) analysis and rhetorical structure theory (RST), this study examines the linguistic co-occurrence patterns in the discourse of corporate annual reports (CARs) and interprets their underlying functional dimensions. Our corpus consists of texts of corporate 10K reports from firms listed on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE; N of texts = 642, totally 14,674,047 tokens). Five functional dimensions are qua…
Covid-19-related stigma profiles and risk factors among people who are at high risk of contagion
Responses of Biogeochemical Characteristics and Enzyme Activities in Sediment to Climate Warming under a Simulation Experiment in Geographically Isolated Wetlands of the Hulunbuir Grassland, China
Climate warming generates a tremendous threat to the stability of geographically-isolated wetland (GIW) ecosystems and changes the type of evaporation and atmospheric precipitation in a region. The intrinsic balance of biogeochemical processes and enzyme activity in GIWs may be altered as well. In this paper, we sampled three types of GIWs exhibiting different kinds of flooding periods. With the participation of real-time temperature regulation m…
