This paper aims to follow a cohort of women from pre - to during the pandemic to determine the change in their mental health using the PHQ-2 scale (a mental health screening tool). Additionally, we investigate whether women with depressive symptoms before the pandemic suffered similarly to those without while controlling for pandemic-related factors. Primarily, we use the Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey dataset and apply pooled ordered logit and fixed effects ordered logit models. We find that the value of the PHQ-2 scale significantly increased during the first period of the pandemic and then eased over time. Interestingly, the behaviour of the individual scale items differed over time. This result questions the internal reliability of the scale during the pandemic and the importance of analysing the scale items individually. Furthermore, being depressed before the pandemic increases the probability of ‘depressive feelings’ and does not matter for ‘anhedonia’. Other factors increasing the probability of mental health disorders are taking care of children for 13–24 h a day and living with a person who has gone hungry. In contrast, wearing a mask and living in a grant-receiving household decreases the probability. These findings inform future researchers of the unexpected behaviour of scales and policymakers of the vulnerability of women’s mental health during unprecedented times, given their vital role in increasing the well-being of future generations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11482-024-10276-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139509737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering average HDI data, only 3 districts were in medium HDI category (0.55 ≤ HDI < 0.70) and rest of the 74 districts were in low HDI category (HDI ≤ 0.55).

Guided by the ecological systems theory and the positive youth development approach, this study investigated the associations between two protective factors in the ecological systems (i.e., positive family functioning in the microsystem and Chinese cultural beliefs of adversity in the macrosystem) and students’ mental health in Hong Kong higher education during the period of the pandemic, with resilience (i.e., an important positive youth development quality) proposed as a mediating factor. This study was based on data collected in a large-scale survey of 978 Hong Kong Chinese undergraduate students (mean age = 20.69 with 62.9% being female) in the summer of 2022. Validated measures were used to assess students’ mental health problems (anxiety and depression), the ecological protective factors (positive family functioning and Chinese cultural beliefs of adversity), and resilience. Structural equation modelling was conducted to examine the associations between ecological protective factors and mental health problems, as well as the mediating effects of resilience in the associations. Structural equation modelling revealed that both positive family functioning and Chinese cultural beliefs of adversity negatively predicted anxiety and depression, with resilience partially mediating all paths. The study contributes significantly to the understanding of different ecological protective factors in higher education students’ mental health and the mediating role of resilience.

Using a sample of 211,554 students representing 7,012 schools across 26 economies, this study reveals a noteworthy inverted U-shaped effect of intercultural learning. Specifically, as students’ participation in intercultural learning activities increases, their global competence initially grows and subsequently declines after reaching a critical turning point. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the curvilinear effect of intercultural learning is significantly moderated by the prevailing climate of discrimination within schools. The curvilinear pattern is more pronounced when discrimination levels are low (-1SD) and becomes comparatively flatter under conditions of high school discrimination climate(+ 1SD).

Under the circumstance, fear of missing out (FoMO) receives extensive examination due to its prominence within the digital epoch. However, the factors inducing FOMO and the mechanism through which FoMO impairs users’ psychosocial well-being require further exploration. Combining quantitative data with Stimulus-Organism-Behavior-Consequence (SOBC) framework, this research establishes an innovative model that explores existing research gaps. It also delves into social media intensity and depressive mood as potential antecedents of FoMO. Additionally, this research hypothesizes that the impacts of FOMO on psychological well-being is mediated by three SNS engagement behaviors: self-presentation, upward contrast, and social media stalking, respectively. The current study gathers statistics from 896 SNS users in northern China and empirically verified the conceptual model. Conclusive results illustrate that FoMO can be induced by social media intensity and depressive mood. Furthermore, FoMO adversely affects individuals’ psychological well-being through the intermediary mechanisms of upward contrast and social media stalking. Consequently, the present study bridges the identified research gaps. It further augments the comprehension of younger generation’s mental experiences and SNS usage behaviors. Apart from yielding valuable insights within the domain of media and psychology, the discoveries provide vital guidance for correlated social groups. Various stakeholders, including mental health professionals, community groups, and policy makers should formulate interventions and initiatives directed toward mitigating the adverse impacts of emerging technologies on users’ psychological well-being.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51483,"journal":{"name":"Applied Research in Quality of Life","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139438550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three factors, including supervision, emotion, and rationality interpretation, were analyzed to measure positive parenting attitudes, while three additional factors, including excessive expectations, over-intervention, and incoherence (inconsistency), were measured to measure negative parenting attitudes. It is evident from the results that adolescent depression plays an important mediating role in the relationship between parents' negative parenting attitudes and adolescents' dependence on mobile phones. This study emphasized that depression is a variable that influences adolescents’ dependence on mobile phones. The higher the parent’s negative parenting attitude, the higher the adolescent’s dependence on the mobile phone, and thus greater the possibility of excessive use of the mobile phone. Negative parenting attitudes may also affect adolescents' mobile phone dependency through affecting depression.
