This qualitative study addresses this knowledge gap by identifying the self-enactable techniques that people with varying levels of physical activity experience and habit strength use to support their own physical activity behavior and form or maintain habits. Novice (n = 8), intermediate (n = 8), and expert (n = 8) exercisers were recruited via purposive sampling to participate in semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analyzed with deductive content analysis and inductive thematic analysis. Forty-five self-enactable techniques were frequently reported in at least one of the experience groups. Thematic analyses indicated seeming differences in technique use across experience levels, from information seeking and support among novices, to acceptance and overcoming initiation inertia among intermediates, to environmental restructuring and personal growth among experts. Increasing experience also seemed associated with a greater focus on the short-term benefits of physical activity and flexible, broad-based automatic approaches to planning and self-regulation. Within-person longitudinal studies using validated measures that capture nuance in technique use can improve scientific understanding of habit formation processes in physical activity.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

We conducted two studies to investigate how a robot's choice might influence people's choices between meat-heavy and vegetable-forward meals in imaginary scenarios. In Study 1, the participants were instructed to choose three dishes from a set of two meat and two vegetable dishes, after their companion (either a human or a robot) had chosen a meat-heavy meal or a vegetable-forward meal. The results revealed that the participants chose meat-heavy meals less frequently when the companion chose a vegetable-forward meal compared to a meat-heavy meal, regardless of whether the companion was a human or a robot. In Study 2, we investigated whether anthropomorphism moderated the effect of the robotic companion's choices on the participants' food choices. The results revealed that the food choices made by a highly human-like robot could exert a greater influence on the participants' food choices than those of a moderately anthropomorphic robot. Collectively, these findings provide empirical evidence that a robotic companion's choice can influence consumers' food choices in imaginary scenarios, which has implications for promoting sustainable food choices using human–robot interactions.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

However, handwashing compliance remains a challenge in Taiwan. This study examined handwashing compliance intention among 705 HCWs (103 physicians and 602 nurses), using an extensive set of survey items informed by the Health Belief Model (HBM). Exploratory factor analysis of items measuring the HBM's reflective latent constructs (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers) revealed a 10-factor structure, representing distinct dimensions with nuanced differentiation within HBM's original constructs. These 10 factors, along with cues to action (a formative construct), comprised the 11 HBM factors in this study. Perceived benefits of infection prevention emerged as the strongest driver of HCWs' handwashing compliance intention, followed by cues to action. Conversely, perceived barriers—time constraints significantly decreased compliance intention. Stratified comparisons showed that physicians and nurses endorsed different benefits of handwashing and cues to action, highlighting the need for profession-specific interventions. While physicians were motivated by concerns regarding perceived professional competence, nurses were motivated by infection prevention and praise/respect at work. Notably, a hospital policy mandating handwashing also increased compliance intention. Our findings offer practical insights for developing theory-driven and tailored interventions to enhance handwashing compliance among HCWs.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

However, the relationship between habit and identity remains inconsistently interpreted, with empirical findings showing varying correlations. This meta-analytic review aimed to synthesize the effect sizes of the relationship between habit and identity in health behaviors and to further explore the moderators that influence this relationship. A search of eight databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycArticles, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) was conducted up to October 9, 2024. Nineteen articles related to physical activity, healthy eating, and drinking were identified based on eligibility criteria, including 32 effect sizes and a total of 13,340 participants. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between habit and identity with a large effect size (r = 0.55, 95% CI [0.49, 0.74]). A multiple moderator analysis revealed that effect sizes were larger when identity was measured using explicit tests. The moderating effects of different types of health behaviors and geographic location were not sufficiently supported. Limited predictive studies imply that the relationship between habit and identity might not be unidirectional. Finally, this review calls for the integration of knowledge of habit and identity to facilitate the practice of health behavior change.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Screening algorithms based on World Health Organization guidelines produced a sample of women that was premenopausal at Time 1, perimenopausal at Time 2, and postmenopausal at Time 3 (N = 247). Prospective path modeling tested the direct and indirect effects of premenopausal factors on peri- and post-menopausal health and well-being. The results showed positive premenopausal attitudes toward aging were directly associated with greater postmenopausal well-being. Older baseline age was indirectly associated with greater postmenopausal well-being through perimenopausal well-being. Greater premenopausal functional ability was indirectly associated with greater self-rated postmenopausal health via greater perimenopausal self-rated health. Although premenopausal factors predicted perimenopausal optimism, coping, and symptoms, none was directly associated with postmenopausal health or well-being. Controlling for perimenopausal health and well-being, the results highlight the roles of greater premenopausal age, greater functional ability, and less concern about fertility, attractiveness, and illness in predicting perceptions of health and well-being across the menopause transition. The finding for aging attitudes, in particular, suggests the importance of reinforcing positive messaging and norms for women's aging and health, rather than medicalizing menopause and its symptoms.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

However, there is limited understanding of the long-term and dynamic effects of awe on well-being and the pathways behind these effects. Drawing on the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and the theory of mood-congruent bias, the present study utilized longitudinal and daily diary approaches to investigate the relationship between awe and well-being, as well as the mediating role of attention bias. In longitudinal Study 1, 524 participants (Nfemale = 365, 69.7%), aged from 18 to 72, completed online surveys three times with 1-month intervals. Cross-lagged analyses demonstrated that awe exerted a significant predictive effect on individuals' well-being. Moreover, positive attention bias served as a mediator in this relationship. In diary Study 2, 183 college students (Nfemale = 126, 68.85%) completed surveys for 14 consecutive days. The results of Hierarchical Linear Modeling and Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling showed that awe positively predicted individuals' well-being, and positive attention bias mediated this relationship. Taken together, these findings not only deepen our comprehension of the underlying connections between awe and well-being but also offer valuable theoretical insights for developing awe-based intervention measures aimed at improving positive attention bias and well-being.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Effective stress management helps them to recognize sources of stress and cope with the problems caused by stress, helping them to become more mentally resilient in the long run. This study was a pretest–posttest randomized controlled psychoeducational intervention in which the effect of stress management training given to first-class health major students on their perceived stress, coping methods and psychological resilience was examined. The study was conducted with 102 associate degree first-class health major students, 51 intervention, and 51 control. Intervention group received stress management training consisting of seven modules for 7 weeks. No intervention was given to the control group. Data were collected using sociodemographic form, perceived stress scale, stress coping methods scale, and short psychological resilience scale. Pre-test and post-tests were administered to both groups. In the analysis of within-group differences of the intervention group, there was a significant decrease in perceived stress scores and a significant increase in coping methods and psychological resilience scores. Between the groups, there was a significant difference in the post-test scores of the intervention group compared to the control group. In the Covariance analysis in which the pre-test effect was controlled, it was determined that the effect of the stress management training on the perceived stress level of the students was 22.1% (large effect), the effect on coping methods with stress was 5.1% (medium effect), and the effect on psychological resilience was 22.6% (large effect) in favor of the intervention group. As a result, stress management training given to health major students decreased their perceived stress levels, improved their coping methods with stress, and increased psychological resilience levels.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

To fill these gaps, this study employed latent profile analysis and latent transition analysis to explore the associations between patterns of child maltreatment and peer victimization and psychological maladjustment (including loneliness, depressive symptoms, behavioral problems, and non-suicidal self-injury) and to determine whether changes in these patterns over time predict future psychological maladjustment. The participants comprised 544 Chinese internal migrant children (51.1% male, Mage = 11.75, SD = 1.12) who completed two surveys. At both Time 1 and Time 2, four distinct profiles were identified. The doubly disadvantaged profile was linked to increased loneliness, while no significant differences were observed among the four profiles regarding the other three indicators. Five transitioning profiles were identified: Stable both low profile, fluctuation profile, stable risk profile, exacerbation profile, and mitigation profile. Internal migrant children in distinct transitioning profiles showed different levels of psychological maladjustment. The findings underscore the co-occurring and transitional nature of child maltreatment and peer victimization, emphasizing the necessity for robust family and school support systems to foster optimal mental health for internal migrant children.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.
