Data collected over three time points at six-month intervals revealed reciprocal positive prediction between hope and self-compassion, indicating that these psychological resources may mutually sustain each other over time. Additionally, self-compassion consistently predicted lower subsequent levels of both anxiety and depression, while anxiety demonstrated a negative predictive effect on later self-compassion. Longitudinal mediation analyses suggested that self-compassion served as a significant pathway through which hope was associated with subsequent reductions in both anxiety and depression. These findings highlight the longitudinal link between hope and self-compassion and underscore self-compassion's role as a potential protective factor against emotional distress. The study provides empirical support for integrating hope and self-compassion into targeted interventions aimed at addressing anxiety and depression in college student populations.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148721569","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}

Despite its destructive potential, the psychological mechanism that fuels hate remains poorly understood. Anger has been identified as a primary component of hate, yet anger and hate differ in their appraisal tendencies and motivational goals. This raises a critical question: how does anger contribute to the emergence of hate? To address this, the present study examined the interplay among anger, anger rumination, grudge, and hate. A total of 740 participants completed self-report measures of these constructs. Using network analysis with regularization methods, followed by serial mediation analysis, we mapped the structural relations among the variables and tested directional pathways. Network analysis revealed grudge as the most central and influential variable showing the highest strength, betweenness, and closeness indices. Further, serial mediation analysis revealed that the relationship between anger and hate is serially mediated by anger rumination and grudge. These findings suggest that when anger is not regulated effectively, it may intensify through ruminative thinking and unresolved grudges, resulting in hate. The findings highlight the importance of targeting the maladaptive anger process, particularly rumination and unresolved grudges, in interventions designed to prevent interpersonal anger from transforming into hate.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148714317","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 investigated how psychological factors, including anxiety, depression, perceived stress, and pain catastrophizing, influence migraine symptom severity and quality of life among 128 patients attending outpatient clinics in SADAT City, Egypt. Participants completed validated Arabic versions of the Migraine Disability Assessment, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, and Perceived Stress Scale. Findings revealed high levels of psychological distress, with over two-thirds of participants reporting elevated anxiety and depression symptoms. Correlation and regression analyses demonstrated that depression and perceived stress were strong predictors of migraine severity and diminished quality of life, while anxiety and catastrophizing also contributed significantly. Female participants exhibited higher anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and catastrophizing levels compared to males. These results highlight the central role of psychological distress in exacerbating migraine burden and reducing overall well-being. The findings emphasize the necessity of integrating psychological assessment and interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and stress management, into migraine treatment plans. This study contributes to the literature by simultaneously examining multiple psychological predictors of migraine disability and migraine-specific quality of life within an underrepresented clinical population in Egypt, providing further evidence for the biopsychosocial understanding of migraine.

Extending JD-R theory, we propose that personal resources require behavioral activation mechanisms and function contingently within adverse leadership contexts. Data were collected from 406 employees in the Turkish banking sector. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4 was utilized to test the proposed conditional process model. This study extends JD-R theory by demonstrating that personal resources are neither automatically performance-producing nor universally protective. Results indicate that PsyCap enhances employee performance through self-leadership, supporting a complementary mediation path where self-leadership serves as the primary conduit for resource mobilization. While toxic leadership negatively impacts performance, PsyCap acts as a demand-contingent buffer, significantly attenuating these detrimental effects as leadership toxicity increases. Additionally, multi-group analysis reveals that internal agency mechanisms are career-stage contingent: seniors use PsyCap as a protective buffer (moderation), while juniors rely more on the behavioral activation (PsyCap to SL) of their resources. By integrating motivational and buffering mechanisms, the findings contribute to global goals for decent work and employee well-being (SDG 3 & 8).","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148702409","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}

Most research addresses symptoms or single risk factors, but less is known about how internal strengths and contextual supports jointly shape it. This study aimed to identify latent profiles of psychosocial functioning based on indicators of wellbeing, psychological distress, internal and external resources. Italian university students (N = 1077; Mage = 21.78; range = 19-29; 77.6% female) completed self-report measures assessing wellbeing, internalizing symptoms, and personal, social, and academic resources. Four distinct profiles emerged by latent profile analysis: Flourishing-Low Symptoms (21.4%), the most resilient group; Moderate Symptoms-Relational Supported (21.0%), with moderate symptoms but intact supports; Intermediate Symptoms-Relational Strain (36.2%), with moderate symptoms and relational difficulties; Distressed-Low Wellbeing (21.4%), showing highest distress and lowest resources. Profiles also differed significantly in sociodemographic and health-related characteristics and across all psychological, interpersonal, and contextual variables. The distinction between the two intermediate profiles indicates that similar levels of distress may coexist with different configurations of relational support, suggesting the need for differentiated preventive interventions. Findings emphasize the central role of external supports and relational contexts in sustaining students' adjustment and show that differences in internal resources meaningfully separate more resilient from more vulnerable profiles.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148654934","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 study encompassed 150 BDD patients chosen through purposive sampling in a cross-sectional design. The data were collected using the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale-Form C (SHSS-C), the Mental Pain Scale (MPS), the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40), and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD-YBOCS). Suggestibility and psychic pain indicated significant direct effects on BDD. Analysis showed that suggestibility and psychic pain have significant positive indirect roles in BDD through the mediating role of defense mechanisms. Altogether, suggestibility, psychic pain, and defense mechanisms explained 78.2% variations of the variation in symptoms of BDD. The results showed a good conceptual model of the direct and indirect effects of suggestibility and psychic pain on BDD symptoms, mediated by defense mechanisms in this study. These findings have practical implications for the management of suggestibility, psychic pain, and immature and neurotic defensive mechanisms in patients with BDD using community-based programs and psychodynamic psychotherapies.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148653750","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 aimed to examine the relationship between psychological resilience and job performance, as well as the indirect pathways linking these variables through the serial mediation of perceived stress and loneliness among marine engineers. A sample of 400 marine engineers employed on Turkish-flagged commercial vessels participated in the study. Participants completed validated self-report measures of psychological resilience, perceived stress, loneliness, and job performance. The hypothesized relationships were tested using a serial mediation model with bias-corrected bootstrapping. The results indicated that psychological resilience was positively associated with job performance and negatively associated with perceived stress. Lower perceived stress, in turn, was associated with lower loneliness. Perceived stress independently mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and job performance, whereas loneliness did not emerge as a significant independent mediator. The serial mediation analysis supported an indirect pathway linking psychological resilience to job performance through perceived stress and loneliness. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the psychosocial pathways through which psychological resilience is associated with job performance in isolated and safety-critical maritime work environments. Given the cross-sectional and self-report nature of the study, the findings should be interpreted as associations consistent with the proposed theoretical model rather than evidence of causal or temporal relationships.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148608763","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}

Using a convenience sampling method, 940 college students were surveyed using the dormitory exclusion scale, the loneliness scale, the depression-anxiety-stress scale, and the learning adaptation scale. The results showed that: (1) Dormitory exclusion significantly negatively predicted learning adaptation; (2) Dormitory exclusion predicted college students' learning adaptation through the single and chain mediation of loneliness and psychological distress; and (3) The chain mediation model exhibits gender differences. Specifically, for males, loneliness mediated the relationship between dormitory exclusion and learning adaptation; for females, loneliness and psychological distress serve as both independent mediators and sequential mediators in the relationship between dormitory exclusion and learning adaptation.
