Therefore, it is crucial to actively investigate the emotional mechanisms underlying college students' internet addiction to foster their healthy development. This study establishes a moderated mediation model based on the relationships among experiential avoidance, internet addiction, anxiety, and difficulty describing feelings to explore the link between experiential avoidance and internet addiction, the mediating role of anxiety, and the moderating effect of difficulty describing feelings. The study collected data from 1,591 Chinese college students across seven provinces (municipalities), utilizing measures such as the Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire, the Internet Addiction Scale, the Anxiety Subscale, and the Difficulty Describing Feelings Scale. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to further investigate the potential emotional mechanisms behind college students' internet addiction. The results indicated that experiential avoidance significantly predicts internet addiction among college students, with anxiety mediating the relationship between experiential avoidance and internet addiction. Additionally, difficulty describing feelings moderate the relationship between experiential avoidance and anxiety. These findings further suggest that emotional disorders such as experiential avoidance, anxiety, and difficulty describing feelings are potential risk factors behind college students' internet addiction. The study recommends enhancing psychological counseling and other intervention measures in interventions for college students' internet addiction.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"288-304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016687","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}

In the present study, we investigated the effects of an eight-week mindfulness-based Kindness Curriculum (KC), a specially developed program for 3-6 years old preschoolers, on Executive Functions (EFs) and socio-emotional competencies. From three German kindergartens, 69 preschoolers participated. Thirty-eight children (M age = 5.30, SD = 0.80) were included in the mindfulness training group, and 31 (M age = 5.30, SD = 0.70) were in the wait-list control group. Due to the field character of the study, children were randomly assigned by kindergarten or by forming new groups of existing classes in one kindergarten. Before and after the mindfulness intervention, EFs were measured using Go/No-Go and Flanker tasks. Socio-emotional competencies were examined with an inventory for assessing socio-emotional competencies in three- to six-year-olds. The results showed a significant improvement in some aspects of emotional and social functions for the mindfulness group over the control group when the pretest results were integrated into the analysis. However, the mindfulness group showed no better performance concerning EFs (inhibition) than the control group. This study indicates improvement in some aspects of socio-emotional competencies in preschoolers through a mindfulness program. Further studies with more participants may evaluate if different forms of mindfulness training in preschool settings could enhance different aspects of preschoolers' development.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"271-287"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142878638","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}

Traditional diagnostic approaches often lack biological markers, making precision in diagnosis challenging. This study explores the role of array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) in improving diagnostic accuracy for ASD. Five clinical vignettes of children diagnosed with ASD via DSM-5 or ADOS-2 were evaluated at a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic. Genome-wide oligonucleotide aCGH analysis was conducted using the Human Genome CGH Microarray kit (OGT), containing approximately 180,000 probes with 30-37 kb spacing based on the GRCh37 build. Fragile X syndrome was excluded using the Asuragen Amplidex PCR/CE FMR1 kit. The case series included boys aged 8-11 from diverse ethnic backgrounds (Asian, African, and Qatari), all presenting with varying degrees of ASD. Genetic analyses revealed significant chromosomal changes affecting eight genes, SHOX, HNF1B, COH1, AHNAK, DOCK8, TIAM1, TBL1XR1, and ALKBH8, highlighting diverse genetic contributions to ASD. These findings encompassed both chromosomal gains and losses, as well as variants of uncertain significance (VUS). The aCGH analyses provided valuable genetic insights, refining the diagnostic process and informing personalized management strategies for ASD. This suggests that aCGH is a useful tool in identifying clinically relevant genetic variations, particularly in settings with limited resources, where other diagnostic modalities may be less accessible.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"317-329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256707","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 current study aims to examine the relation between self-concealment and problematic short video use among students, and the mediating mechanisms of fear of missing out and online social support. A total of 718 college students took part in this survey. All participants completed the Self-Concealment Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale, Online Social Support Questionnaire, and Short Video Addiction Scale. The results showed significant positive interrelations among self-concealment, fear of missing out, online social support, and problematic short video use (all correlation coefficients ranging from 0.12 to 0.60, ps < 0.001). Structural equation modeling demonstrated that fear of missing out mediated the relation between self-concealment and problematic short video use (indirect effect = 1.97, 95% CI [1.36, 3.12]), and a significant serial mediation of online social support and fear of missing out was also valid (indirect effect = 0.05, 95% CI [0.01, 0.16]). The findings enhance our understanding of the association between self-concealment and problematic short video use and its potential mechanisms, which will help to better understand the causes of problematic short video use among college students. It also provides a useful reference to guide people in using the internet reasonably and to prevent and intervene in the problematic use of short videos.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144477869","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 national genome-wide data from Taiwan Biobank (TWB), we built PRS for psychiatric diagnosis (PD), major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and schizophrenia (SCZ) based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with psychiatric phenotypes. To test our hypothesis, we conducted polygenic mediation models in a locally recruited cohort of young adults (N = 159, mean age = 23.0), applying False Discovery Rate (FDR) correction. Resilience (mediator) measures included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). Psychological outcomes were assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Mediation analysis showed that resilience significantly mediated the relationship between PRS-PD and BAI, where the indirect effects via CD-RISC was 0.47 (95% CI [confidence interval]: 0.04-0.97; p = 0.036) and via RSA was 0.51 (95% CI: 0.09-1.09; p = 0.020).

According to several studies, a considerable relationship exists between genetics and loneliness. Since there is no comprehensive study in this regard, this investigation was designed to assess the effects of gene expression on feelings of loneliness. In this systematic review, the searching strategy was designed using MeSH-based keywords of \"Impact\", \"Influence\", \"Gene\", \"Genetic\", \"Loneliness\", and \"Social isolation\" in valid databases of PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Embase, web of Sciences (WoS), and Google Scholar. Following primary and secondary screenings, a qualitative assessment was applied by December 2024. Then, eligible studies were enrolled for data extraction and categorization. Following the initial searching, 392 papers were gathered. Then, 23 duplicate papers were merged using EndNote software. During primary and secondary screenings, 315 and 34 irrelevant papers were also excluded, respectively. Finally, following the exclusion of low-quality investigations (n = 10), 10 eligible papers were detected for data extraction. It was found that the specific gene regulation (CTRA and APOE-e4 genes expression) along with polymorphism (CHRNA4:rs1044396 and BDNF) can directly or indirectly cause the feeling of loneliness and social isolation. Reports showed that neuroinflammation and involvement of genetic changes in the Nucleus Accumbens can potentially lead to loneliness feelings. The relationship between gene expression and feelings of loneliness is multifaceted, involving both genetic predispositions and environmental influences. Research indicates that loneliness can trigger significant changes at the cellular level, affecting immune responses and overall health.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276771","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}

School changers were older and more likely to attend vocational (blue collar) and administrative (white collar) school tracks with shorter education, while school remainers were more likely to attend comprehensive schools and academic school tracks. Also, parents of school changers had been in education for a shorter time. Migration background was not different between the two groups. School changers who attended a school with an academic track were at particular disadvantage. Path modeling showed that language grades were more affected by school change than mathematics.

As such, understanding the factors that influence the formation of intrinsic goals is essential. This study tests hypotheses about the relationship between childhood risk environments and intrinsic goals, focusing on childhood unpredictability and harshness as independent variables, with Chinese university students serving as the subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,355 students from three universities in China, using four measurement tools: the Childhood Unpredictability Questionnaire, Childhood Harshness Questionnaire, Parental Autonomy Support Questionnaire, and Desire Index Scale. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 software. The results reveal that childhood unpredictability, rather than harshness, is negatively linked with students' intrinsic goals. Childhood harshness shows a positive predictive link to intrinsic goals when unpredictability is high, and a negative link when unpredictability is low. Furthermore, when parental autonomy support is low, childhood harshness positively correlates with intrinsic goals. Additionally, childhood unpredictability and harshness indirectly relate to intrinsic goals by diminishing parental autonomy support. These findings underscore the detrimental relationship between childhood unpredictability and intrinsic goals, while also highlighting the protective role that parental autonomy support can play in fostering intrinsic goal development.","PeriodicalId":54827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetic Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144152437","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}
