As a multidimensional construct, its conceptualisation has been ambiguous. So far, the OECD Global Competence Framework has been the most updated and comprehensive framework for understanding global competence. However, all current conceptualisations, including that of the OECD, have been developed in the Western context, and their applicability in non-Western contexts is questioned. In this paper, we conduct a prototype study to examine how local university students in Hong Kong understand global competence and to explore how their conceptualisations shed light on cross-cultural similarities and differences in their understanding of global competence. Based on three sub-studies (n = 276), this prototype study showed that certain features appear more frequently, are more central to global competence and are seen as more salient in people viewed globally as more competent by the participants. It provides lay (university students) cross-cultural conceptions of global competence beyond definitions and frameworks provided by scholars and international organisations. Local Hong Kong university students' conceptions of global competence not only display an assemblage of multiple dimensions resonating with the international literature but also extend it to other dimensions and features shaped by local social and cultural dynamics.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117884","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}

We surveyed ethnic Russians (the ethnic minority) and members of the majority groups in each society. The total number of respondents was 3271 people. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the status of the Russian population in these republics changed from being the dominant group in the Soviet Union to an ethnic minority group in the newly independent countries. To take into account contextual features, we evaluated the permeability of ethnic boundaries for ethnic Russians, which vary across different post-Soviet republics. We found that in the samples of the national population and one ethnic minority (Russians), the closer the cultural distance, the higher the perceived permeability of boundaries. However, among the national population, a closer cultural distance to Russians is positively associated with the desire to segregate them, while among Russians, a closer cultural distance to the national population is associated with a desire to integrate.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117883","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}

The SAP theory postulates that combining ‘shifting’ (adapting to stressors) and ‘persisting’ (enduring adversity with optimism) promotes resilience across physical, physiological, and psychological outcomes. Despite the theoretical appeal of SAP theory, empirical evidence supporting its effectiveness in mental health, particularly in non-Western contexts, is inconsistent and sometimes contradictory. We conducted an internal meta-analysis using six pre-registered studies (N = 7519) to examine the SAP theory's applicability in Japan. We investigated two hypotheses: (1) The interaction effects between socioeconomic status (SES), shifting, and persisting mitigate depressive tendencies, and (2) the main effect of the persisting strategy can mitigate depressive tendencies, independently of SES and shifting levels. Results indicated no interaction effects between shifting and persisting; instead, only significant main effects of both shifting and persisting, not supporting Hypotheses 1 or 2. These findings may indicate the critical role of persisting as a protective factor on negative psychological outcomes, although the interaction effect between shifting and persisting in Japanese samples appears limited. The implications of these findings for significant questions about the generalizability of SAP theory and the need to consider cultural factors in psychological interventions are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117882","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}

Using province-level representative data from the 2013 Life Satisfaction Survey, encompassing 196,203 observations, we analyse how descriptive norms (prevalence of unemployment) and injunctive norms (social pressures due to unemployment) at the province level affect the happiness of the unemployed. We utilized people's perception of employment for being respected in social life and personally feeling social pressure as a measure of individual beliefs. Multilevel regression results reveal that descriptive norms can modestly alleviate the adverse impact of unemployment, particularly for the short-term unemployed, while injunctive norms slightly intensify the unhappiness of being unemployed, especially in the short term. The unemployed's personal beliefs about the value of employment matter for their happiness. These findings underscore the theoretical implications of social norms in shaping the well-being of the unemployed and highlight the importance of individual beliefs in moderating these effects.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085107","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}

However, existing research has inconsistently defined and measured residential mobility, creating ambiguity about whether past experiences or future expectations primarily drive its psychological impact. This study addresses this gap by examining both the distinctions and connections between residential mobility experiences and expectations, with the goal of identifying the primary mechanism influencing subjective well-being. Guided by pragmatic prospection theory and sensitised-specialisation theory, we conducted two studies. In Study 1, a manipulation experiment revealed that residential mobility expectations had a stronger impact on subjective well-being than residential mobility experiences. In Study 2, a large-scale survey demonstrated that residential mobility expectations mediate the relationship between residential mobility experiences and subjective well-being. Together, these findings highlight the distinct yet interconnected roles of residential mobility experiences and expectations. While residential mobility experiences provide a foundational context, it is the expectations of future mobility that predominantly shape the psychological impact on well-being. These results underscore residential mobility expectations as the primary mechanism by which residential mobility influences individual outcomes, offering valuable theoretical and practical insights.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919893","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}

However, uncertainty pervades human social life, raising questions about people's willingness to intervene when the fairness of a situation or the impact of their intervention on others is unclear. Our research investigates how uncertainty, both in outcomes and impacts, influences TPI strategies, including TPP and TPH. We found that outcome uncertainty generally reduces willingness to engage in both TPP and TPH. In contrast, impact uncertainty has a nuanced effect across TPI strategies, diminishing the likelihood of TPP while retaining the inclination towards TPH. Our findings on the effects of uncertainty on TPH extend beyond existing research on uncertainty and prosocial behaviour. This research deepens our understanding of normative decision-making and offers practical insights into managing social behaviours in real-world contexts characterised by uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717262","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}

However, dynamic studies investigating the interaction between parent–child relationships and psychological capital remain limited. This study adopts a cross-lagged longitudinal design to explore the dynamic relationship between parent–child relationships and psychological capital, with a particular focus on the moderating role of gender. Using a cluster sampling method, a 1-year follow-up survey was conducted with 993 adolescents from four middle schools in Sichuan Province, China. The results revealed the following: (1) Boys demonstrated significantly higher levels of psychological capital compared to girls. Over the 1-year period, psychological capital increased in both boys and girls. However, only boys experienced a significant decline in father-son relationships, while changes in parent–child relationships among girls were not significant. (2) The cross-lagged relationships between parent–child relationships and psychological capital exhibited gender differences. For boys, psychological capital predicted both father-son and mother-son relationships. For girls, a bidirectional predictive relationship was observed between father-daughter relationships and psychological capital. These findings suggest that boys with higher levels of psychological capital are more likely to cultivate strong parent–child relationships, while for girls, positive traits and father-daughter relationships mutually reinforce one another. These insights provide practical implications for mental health education in middle schools.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143639031","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}
