The results showed there were significant negative correlations between job burnout and the two psychological structures of positive coping styles and psychological\u0000 harmony. Use of positive coping styles directly affected primary school teachers' job burnout and also indirectly affected their job burnout through the mediator of psychological harmony.

However, the relationship between inclusive leadership and entrepreneurial team performance has rarely been studied. This study constructed a model to uncover the mechanism by which inclusive\u0000 leadership affects entrepreneurial team performance. The empirical results revealed that inclusive leadership was positively related to entrepreneurial team performance. Inclusive leadership positively predicted team engagement and inclusive climate, which, in turn, facilitated team feedback\u0000 seeking and ultimately enhanced entrepreneurial team performance. Moreover, leader team representativeness strengthened the positive relationship between inclusive leadership and team engagement. The theoretical implications are that inclusive leadership is essential in promoting members'\u0000 engagement and inclusive climate for better performance, which provides more comprehensive insight into entrepreneurship literature. The practical implications are that greater attention should be paid to cultivating inclusive leadership.","PeriodicalId":48157,"journal":{"name":"Social Behavior and Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46536286","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, the mediating and moderating processes underlying the relationship between NLE and suicide attempts have remained\u0000 obscure. We examined both the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of peer support underlying this relationship. The results showed that depression fully mediated the positive relationship between NLE and adolescent suicide attempts. A moderated mediation analysis further revealed\u0000 that the indirect path from NLE to suicide attempts was moderated by peer support. These findings suggest that the development of depression plays a key role in explaining why adolescents who have experienced NLE are at a greater risk of suicide attempts than those who have not. A healthy\u0000 peer support system could serve as a buffer to reduce the adverse outcomes resulting from NLE. Overall, the results may contribute to developing an integrative framework of theory and effective interventions.","PeriodicalId":48157,"journal":{"name":"Social Behavior and Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46761301","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}

Results showed there was a reciprocal emotional rating effect for face imagery, with participants mistakenly rating losing faces as experiencing more positive emotion than winning faces did; when body imagery was shown along with the face, participants' emotional\u0000 perception was more accurate. Significant gender differences were observed in ratings of female versus male players. Our study indicates that without further context, emotional perception is unreliable from the face alone.
