However, the strength of this relationship remains controversial due to variations in study populations, regional distributions, and measurement indicators across different studies. To further clarify the overall strength of the association between social class and mental health, a systematic meta-analytic analysis was conducted. Based on the dual-factor model of mental health, we searched 13 databases for social class and both positive and negative mental health indicators. A total of 61 and 38 eligible studies met the inclusion criteria of positive and negative mental health, respectively. A random-effects meta-analytic model was employed, and several moderator analyses were conducted. This study revealed a positive correlation between social class and positive mental health indicators (r = 0.252), and a negative correlation with negative mental health indicators (r = −0.104). Furthermore, the relationship between social class and mental health was moderated by the era, age group, and sampling region. Our results indicate a potential direction that individuals from higher socio-economic backgrounds may exhibit higher levels of mental health.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In both experiments, participants played a collaborative 10-question trivia game with a ‘partner’ (an experimental confederate) and were told that they would receive 10 lottery tickets if the team answered 7 or more questions correctly. In the favour condition, participants had to rely on their partner to get seven correct answers, whereas in the no-favour condition, they did not. After the game was over, they were given an opportunity to give their lottery tickets to their partner. In both experiments, participants in the favour condition gave more tickets than those in the no-favour condition. In Study 1, the degree to which United States participants felt indebtedness towards their partner predicted the number of lottery tickets given. In Study 2, the degree to which Japanese participants felt sorry and respect towards their partner predicted the number of lottery tickets given. These findings suggest that reciprocal behaviour might be driven by different emotions across cultures.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70109","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149099962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Study 1 (N = 154), experimentally induced concealment in anticipated interactions with ostensible local Hong Kong peers reduced momentary belonging, but did not significantly affect authenticity concerns or expectations for future cross-group interactions. In Study 2 (N = 249), using a two-wave longitudinal design, we tested whether concealment beliefs—beliefs that concealing one's devalued identity protects against bias—predict poorer university adjustment (belonging and academic engagement) and sociocultural adjustment, and whether the propensity to initiate cross-group contact buffered these associations. Concealment beliefs at university entry predicted weaker academic engagement. Among students low in cross-group contact propensity, these beliefs also predicted lower belonging and poorer sociocultural adjustment. These associations were absent among students high in contact propensity. Together, these findings suggest that proactively initiating cross-group contact may help alleviate the psychological and sociocultural costs of concealment for mainland Chinese students adjusting to Hong Kong, with possible implications for other immigrant-background students navigating devalued identities in receiving societies.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148849279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grounded in the Chinese cultural context, the present research investigates how self-construal and social distance jointly shape third-party punishment under different outcome-framing contexts, specifically in situations in which unfair behaviour leads to either benefits for the transgressor or losses for the victim, within hypothetical resource allocation scenarios. Study 1 (N = 80) showed that individuals with a chronic interdependent self-construal imposed stronger punishment in loss than gain contexts. Study 2 (N = 91) replicated this pattern using situationally induced self-construal. Study 3 (N = 68) further revealed that punishment was generally weaker towards socially close (vs. distant) transgressors, but for close others, punishment was significantly stronger in loss than gain contexts. These findings extend existing research on third-party punishment by considering the interaction between individual dispositions and situational factors and by highlighting the critical moderating role of social relationships in the psychological mechanisms underlying norm enforcement.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148753066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on lens theory, attachment theory and the literature on belongingness and social connection, the current study examined whether users' emotional bonds with AI moderate self-AI agreement in personality reports. A total of 738 Japanese ChatGPT users completed self-report measures of the Big Five personality traits and AI attachment dimensions. Their personality was also inferred by ChatGPT based on their chat history. Self-reported and AI-inferred Big Five traits were positively correlated, although AI systematically rated users higher across all five domains. Moderation analyses showed that AI attachment anxiety, but not avoidance, strengthened self-AI agreement for extraversion, agreeableness and negative emotionality. Supplemental sensitivity analyses, including all participants who provided AI-inferred personality data (N = 789), produced the same conclusions regarding positive self-AI agreement, AI overestimation and the absence of moderation by AI attachment avoidance, while indicating that the attachment anxiety-based moderation was most robust for negative emotionality. These findings suggest that AI-based personality inference is shaped not only by model capability but also by the relational cues users provide in human–AI interaction.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70102","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148617142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study 1 recruited 1186 college students to complete questionnaires. The results of mediation analysis revealed that early life adversity not only directly predicted hoarding behaviour but also increased hoarding behaviour by promoting faster life history strategy. Furthermore, the results of structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that faster life history strategy only positively predicted difficulty discarding. cruited 140 college students and measured the changes in life history strategy responses and hoarding tendencies under manipulated perceived environmental harshness. The results showed that perceiving the environment as harsher produced faster life history strategy responses and increased difficulty discarding, which validated the findings of Study 1. Overall, this research, based on the perspective of life history theory, demonstrates the significant mechanistic role of faster life history strategy in the relationship between early life adversity and hoarding. These findings offer several practical implications for mitigating hoarding behaviours.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"29 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
