Using data from a two-wave longitudinal study of 727 Chinese college students, this study employs cross-lagged and mediation models to systematically examine the relationship between trait anxiety and academic procrastination, as well as the mediation role of self-control in short video addiction. Research findings indicate that trait anxiety is associated with a direct positive influence on academic procrastination. Additionally, trait anxiety is also associated with academic procrastination through chain mediation effects involving self-control and short video addiction. Furthermore, we discovered a potential reciprocal relationship between short video addiction and academic procrastination. This study offers a new perspective on the relationship between trait anxiety and academic procrastination, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent interventions.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148260167","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}

We employed a longitudinal study and a weekly diary method to investigate the bidirectional relationship between resilience and benign and malicious envy, examining both trait and state levels.

Results indicated that higher levels of forgiveness of self and forgiveness of uncontrollable situations were each associated with lower levels of depression, which in turn were associated with fewer alcohol-related problems. Higher levels of forgiveness of self and forgiveness of uncontrollable situations were associated with lower levels of depression and stress, which in turn were associated with fewer ACOA-related problems. However, forgiveness of self and forgiveness of uncontrollable situations each operated through less anxiety in association with more ACOA-related problems. Neither depression, anxiety, nor stress operated as mediators of the association of forgiveness of parent(s) alcohol use with ACOA-related or alcohol-related problems. These findings suggest that certain dimensions of forgiveness, particularly self-forgiveness, may be crucial in mitigating psychological distress and related problems among ACOAs.

In a post-pandemic environment, this negative mental health state seems to have lingered. We used factor analysis to uncover a latent variable that we called psychological strain, which represented an important combination of negative mental health effects many students have been experiencing, including mental health strain, mental instability, sadness, anxiety, and unhappiness. We then ran path analysis to see which factors most closely predicted psychological strain. As there have been calls to study the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on the mental health of college students, we also included them in our model. We produced a model that explained 56% of the variance in psychological strain (R2 = .559). We found social isolation (total effects = .454), household dysfunction (total effects = .261), and Covid-fear (total effects = .230) to be the most important risk factors, while appearance satisfaction (total effects = -.253) meaning in life (total effects = -0.154), and self-esteem (total effects = -.154) were the most important protective factors. We also ran discriminant function analysis and uncovered a latent variate, which we called consolation deficiency, which seems to reflect an important aspect that those high in ACEs may share.

Based on Social Identity Theory, this research conducted three experiments to examine how shared negative experience shapes group identity and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Results suggested that (1) shared negative experience enhanced group identity among co-experiencers; (2) perceived similarity partially mediated the link between shared negative experience and group identity; (3) group boundary permeability moderated the link between perceived similarity and group identity. Specifically, in the low group boundary permeability condition, perceived similarity fostered stronger group identity, whereas this positive effect weakened in the high boundary permeability condition. This research demonstrated the causal relationship between shared negative experience and group identity, deepening the understanding of group identity formation while providing theoretical and practical implications for interventions aimed at enhancing group identity.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148036291","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 advances CQ research by examining the Change-Related Personality Typology, comprising Proactive, Adaptive, Passive, and Change-Resistant profiles, as theoretically meaningful antecedents of CQ. Grounded in Cognitive-Adaptive Trait Theory, we argue that the combination of change orientation (embrace vs. resist) and control strategy (primary vs. secondary) shapes intercultural competence. Data from 261 emergent adults in a multicultural university setting were analyzed using hierarchical regression with bootstrapping, Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA), and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA). Across analyses, Adaptive and Proactive personalities were robust positive predictors of CQ, whereas Change-Resistant personality showed a consistent negative association. Evidence for Passive personality was weaker and context-dependent, aligning with its low-activation behavioral profile. Steiger's Z-tests further indicated that Adaptive personality relates more strongly to CQ than Proactive personality and that Change-Resistant personality is more damaging than Passive personality. Moving beyond average effects, NCA showed that baseline levels of Proactive and Adaptive personality operate as necessary conditions for achieving high CQ, whereas IPMA highlighted Adaptive personality as the most impactful \"driver\" of CQ performance. Together, these findings refine dispositional models of CQ by distinguishing traits that increase CQ on average from traits that function as minimum prerequisites for high CQ.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147786128","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}

Intimate romantic relationships play an important role in individual well-being. The aftermath of relationship dissolution can have devastating emotional effects, particularly in cases of deception or betrayal, such as infidelity. The current study aimed to explore women's actual and anticipated responses to infidelity in their romantic relationships. Specifically, this study focused on the roles of personality, self-esteem, adult attachment, and commitment in forgiveness and relationship continuation. Four hundred heterosexual women (M = 22.27 years old, SD = 6.30) responded to study measures. About 49% of the sample reported real experiences of partner cheating, and 43% of those women chose to stay post-infidelity. The research findings suggest that previous experiences with infidelity and personality, specifically extraversion, may be predictive of women's anticipated reactions to a partner's affair (p = .002). Attachment style and self-esteem may also weakly relate to forgiveness and relationship stability for imagined instances of infidelity. For actual reactions to infidelity, results related to intrapersonal variables and past cheating experiences were inconclusive (p = .894). In this sample, women were more inclined to forgive emotional infidelity than sexual infidelity. Due to the small effects observed, the results of this study should be interpreted with caution. Future research into the underlying intrapersonal factors influencing responses to infidelity is warranted. Insights gained from this study could contribute to developing effective treatment interventions for individuals and couples navigating the complexities of relational dishonesty.","PeriodicalId":48218,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"173-198"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144776639","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}
