Digital health interventions show promise in addressing these issues. However, evidence on their applicability in daily cancer care is limited. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the internal and external validity of digital health interventions targeting psychological and cognitive impairments in cancer patients, caregivers, and family members, using the RE-AIM framework. This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, using Pubmed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and PsychINFO databases. Data were extracted using data forms based on the RE-AIM framework. The methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies (QATQS). A total of 191 studies involving 29.907 patients and caregivers met the inclusion criteria. Included studies were randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized studies of interventions related to digital health, using an online or hybrid format. The reach, implementation, and effectiveness domains were most frequently reported, while adoption and maintenance were the most unreported domains within the RE-AIM framework. Despite reporting on reach, effectiveness, and implementation, limited data on external validity restricts the impact and scalability of digital health interventions in cancer care. Future research should endeavor to address current challenges and improve the use of digital health interventions in cancer care.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

A sample of 224 Chinese college students completed daily assessments for 14 consecutive days (N = 2491 daily observations). Multilevel structural equation modeling with the 1-1-1 mediation framework revealed a striking level-dependent asymmetry: At the within-person level, need satisfaction, but not need frustration, mediated the daily SSU-well-being relationship across all three outcomes, whereas at the between-person level, need satisfaction mediated the associations with all three outcomes and need frustration mediated those with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being only; the need satisfaction pathway was consistently stronger. Exploratory dimension-specific analyses suggested a tentative pattern involving competence frustration at the between-person level, although this finding was based on a single-item measure. These findings support the proposed role of need satisfaction as an important mechanism linking daily strengths use to multidimensional well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

This scoping review aimed to chart evidence on the administration of improvisational theater (a form of unscripted performance) for personal growth and to identify directions for future research and practice. Conducted in line with Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, this review included empirical studies examining the effects of theatrical improv on personal growth, with no limitations on participants, regions, or publication periods. Systematic searches of four databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) were conducted on June 29, 2026. The reference lists of included studies and citing articles identified through citation tracking were then manually searched. Two independent reviewers screened and selected studies, and discrepancies were resolved through discussion and mutual consensus. Study characteristics, primary outcomes, intervention design, and study design were extracted and analyzed descriptively. The review included 73 studies. Mapped onto a framework structured by the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) model and Erikson's psychosocial developmental stages, outcomes were predominantly concentrated in the psychological and social domains, particularly among young adults, whereas the biological and spiritual domains were sparsely represented. Across all age groups, each population demonstrated specific thematic patterns. Positive effects were reported in the majority of studies, though notable heterogeneity in intervention and study designs was observed. Theatrical improv showed preliminary positive effects on personal growth-particularly in communication, creativity, and well-being-supporting its use as a low-intensity, adaptable foundation for specialized applied improv programs beyond psychotherapy and education.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Using two-wave survey data from 699 Chinese middle school students, we investigated whether four PYD dimensions, including love, aspiration, faith, and grit, predicted changes in these outcomes over time. Longitudinal measurement invariance was first established for curiosity and well-being, with partial support for creativity, allowing for meaningful interpretation of structural relations. Structural equation modeling results revealed a differentiated pattern of associations. Aspiration was the only PYD dimension that consistently predicted both interest-type and deprivation-type curiosity, suggesting that future-oriented motivation may play a central role in adolescents' exploratory tendencies. In contrast, faith emerged as the only significant predictor of both creativity and well-being, indicating that meaning-related and self-regulatory processes may be more closely tied to these domains. Other PYD dimensions, including love and grit, were not significantly associated with changes in the outcomes after controlling for their prior levels. Overall, the findings suggest that PYD does not operate as a uniform construct in predicting adolescent development. Instead, specific dimensions of PYD appear to be differentially linked to distinct psychological processes. These results highlight the importance of considering the multidimensional nature of PYD and suggest that targeted interventions focusing on particular developmental assets may be more effective than broad-based approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Although previous research has documented associations between PSMU and sleep problems, less is known about the short-term dynamic mechanisms underlying this relationship and the individual differences that may shape vulnerability. Drawing on intensive longitudinal data and dynamic structural equation modeling, this study examined a moderated mediation model in which nomophobia (i.e. anxiety or distress arising from being unable to access or use one's mobile phone) mediated the association between PSMU and poor sleep quality, with trait rumination examined as a moderator of this indirect association. A 21-day daily diary study was conducted with 228 Chinese university students. At the between-person level, higher PSMU was associated with greater nomophobia and poorer sleep quality. At the within-person level, increases in PSMU were prospectively associated with greater nomophobia, which subsequently predicted poorer sleep quality, supporting an indirect association through nomophobia. This indirect association was more pronounced among students with higher levels of trait rumination. By capturing dynamic day-to-day processes, these findings extend current understanding of how PSMU may contribute to poorer sleep during emerging adulthood and highlight nomophobia and rumination as potential targets for interventions aimed at promoting healthier digital habits and sleep.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

A total of 2873 adolescents participated at both measurement occasions. Cross-sectional network analysis indicated that emotion-focused response was the most central node in the PR network, tolerance emerged as the central node in the SD network, and conflict functioned as a key bridge node in the contemporaneous network of PR and SD. Cross-lagged network analysis revealed that earlier punitive responses predicted increases in subsequent parental distress reactions and adolescents' withdrawal symptoms during doomscrolling. Furthermore, higher levels of earlier salience were associated with increased tolerance and relapse and reduced parental expressive encouragement at the later time point.

Data were drawn from a 7-day daily diary study of 208 Chinese adolescents. Participants reported stress, affect, somatic symptoms, and coping strategies. Multilevel models disaggregated within-person and between-person associations and tested moderation effects. At the within-person level, higher-than-usual daily stress was associated with lower positive affect and higher negative affect on the same day. Emotion-focused coping amplified these associations, whereas affiliation-focused coping attenuated them; task-focused coping was nonsignificant. At the between-person level, higher average stress was related to poorer emotional and somatic functioning. Emotion-focused coping amplified these associations, and task-focused coping strengthened the association between stress and lower positive affect. Lagged associations were generally weaker.

Clarifying these relationships can provide empirical evidence for precision interventions targeting adolescents' depressive symptoms. This study surveyed 1214 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 15.46 ± 0.71, 60.7% male) three times (with approximately 6-month intervals) and integrated variable-centered and person-centered approaches to (1) examine the bidirectional longitudinal relationships between dual kindness and depressive symptoms using the random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and (2) identify heterogeneous developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms using the latent class growth model (LCGM) and subsequently test whether baseline dual kindness predicts trajectory membership and whether depressive symptom trajectories predict T3 kindness qualities. RI-CLPM results showed that at the within-person level, increases in positive self-compassion and prosocial behavior effectively buffered depressive symptoms, with positive self-compassion and depressive symptoms exhibiting bidirectional dynamic relationships, whereas fluctuations in negative self-compassion were unrelated to depressive fluctuations. At the between-person level, global and positive self-compassion as well as prosocial behavior were stably negatively correlated with depressive symptoms, while negative self-compassion was positively correlated with depressive symptoms. LCGM identified three developmental trajectories: a low-symptom declining group, a threshold-symptom increasing group, and a high-symptom remitting group. Baseline self-compassion significantly predicted trajectory group membership across all pairwise comparisons, whereas prosocial behavior predicted membership only in the low-symptom declining group relative to the other two. Different trajectory groups also showed significant differences in subsequent kindness qualities. Together, the two analytical paradigms revealed the complex interplay between dual kindness and depressive symptoms at both the variable level and the individual heterogeneity level. These findings suggest that prosocial behavior may be better suited for universal prevention, whereas self-compassion (enhancing its positive components and reducing its negative components) should serve as a core intervention target for risk groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.
