This research investigated two judgmental tendencies in the LYin Deception Dilemmas, Deception Endorsement (instrumental permissiveness toward deception) and Normative Alignment (adherence to social norms) across both self-regarding and other-regarding contexts, examining their relationships with personality traits, perceived social norms, and social interaction. Study 1 revealed that self-regarding Deception Endorsement correlated negatively with Honesty-Humility and positively with Machiavellianism, whereas Normative Alignment showed a negative association with psychopathy. Individuals scoring higher on Deception Endorsement reported greater perceived similarity to self-benefiting liars and less similarity to honest characters depicted in video clips. Study 2, assessing judgments from both personal and majority perspectives, showed that Normative Alignment, but not Deception Endorsement, correlated with higher consistency between personal judgments and estimates of majority judgments. Study 3 introduced an interpersonal discussion and found that although Normative Alignment increased during discussion, it exhibited an upward trend over repeated judgments, whereas Deception Endorsement showed a decrease over time. Overall, these findings suggest that Deception Endorsement and Normative Alignment in the LYin Deception Dilemmas reflect distinct psychological characteristics, with the former relating to honesty-associated traits and the latter to social norm adherence.","PeriodicalId":47581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"487-516"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147522337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined whether a therapist-led, AI-assisted classical piano intervention could produce stronger process-level psychological gains than matched therapist-led piano instruction without adaptive AI feedback among young adults diagnosed with mild-to-moderate anxiety or depression. A randomized controlled mixed-methods design was used with 120 Mandarin-speaking participants aged 18-30 years assigned to either an AI-assisted condition or a non-AI control condition. Over a 10-week program, both groups completed weekly 90-min supervised sessions, and pretest/post-test changes were assessed in resilience, mindfulness, and music-related emotional processing. Quantitative data were analyzed using 2 × 2 mixed repeated-measures ANOVA and follow-up tests, while post-intervention interviews from a stratified experimental subsample were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings showed significant improvement in both groups; however, the AI-assisted condition demonstrated larger gains across all three primary outcomes, together with a steeper trajectory of weekly musical performance development. Engagement indicators within the AI-assisted group were positively associated with psychological improvement. Qualitative findings reinforced this pattern, with emotional release, increased self-awareness, and stronger motivation to continue practice emerging as the most frequent themes. The study suggests that AI can contribute meaningfully to music-based intervention in supervised contexts, not as an autonomous agent but as an adaptive feedback layer. From a practical viewpoint, the model provides a viable framework for structured mental health-focused practice in various contexts.","PeriodicalId":47581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"563-585"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147677721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study explored the effects of ego depletion on subsequent prospective memory performance under different cue focality conditions and further investigated the mechanisms underlying this effect. Ego depletion was induced using a Stroop task. 179 college students were randomly assigned to the focal depletion group (N = 44), focal control group (N = 45), non-focal depletion group (N = 45), and non-focal control group (N = 45). The results showed that both the accuracy of the ongoing task and prospective memory performance were lower in the ego depletion group compared to the control group. Furthermore, analysis based on the multinomial processing tree (MPT) model indicated that the prospective component in the depletion group was inferior to that of the control group. In addition, the detrimental effect of ego depletion on prospective memory did not differ between the focal and non-focal cue conditions. The results showed that ego depletion reduces prospective memory performance regardless of cue focality, and the effect operates primarily through reduced cue monitoring.","PeriodicalId":47581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"517-538"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing studies have primarily examined the effect of a single psychological distance on emotion, with less attention paid to the interaction effect of multiple psychological distances. Drawing on emotion appraisal theory, the present study focused on social distance to investigate how it moderates the effects of temporal and spatial distance on negative emotional feeling across four experiments. In these experiments, we manipulated social distance (self, friend, vs. stranger) alongside temporal or spatial distance, and measured participants' reported negative emotion to negative events. Results showed that social, temporal and spatial distance all directly influenced negative emotion, replicating previous findings. Importantly, temporal and spatial proximity elicited significantly greater negative emotion when negative events involved a close (vs. distant) social distance-that is, events affecting the self (Experiment 1) or a friend (Experiment 2) versus a stranger. These findings suggest that different dimensions of psychological distance jointly shape negative emotion, extending Construal Level Theory's multidimensional perspective to the affective domain and providing potential implications for emotion regulation by highlighting the importance of considering the social relevance of negative events to the individual.","PeriodicalId":47581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149013146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, 24 focus groups were established with 80 boys and 82 girls from years two and four of secondary education. Results were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four overarching themes were identified: situations in the family home, shared family time and supportive family practices, pressure to comply with family standards, and family reactions to academic results. Although boys and girls had similar views on the role of some family factors, certain differences were also identified. In conclusion, drawing on adolescents' experiences, we were able to describe an array of aspects in family relationships that affect school stress in adolescence, thereby advancing our current understanding of the role played by family in school stress and identifying possible avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":47581,"journal":{"name":"Journal of General Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148921397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the prevalence of social media use worldwide, social media addiction, with its impulsivity and habit-forming components interacting with FoMo, exposes individuals to disaster content, increasing both the frequency and emotional intensity of exposure. Within this framework, to investigate the concepts of social media addiction, FoMo, and indirect trauma caused by exposure to traumatic content through the media, we collected data using a semi-longitudinal design from the same participants at three-month intervals (N = 220).
