Using three-wave longitudinal data from 2331 Chinese adolescents (M<sub>age</sub> = 13.92, SD = 0.65; 52.4% girls), we applied a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) combined with multigroup analysis and local structural equation modeling (LSEM). At the between-person level, results demonstrated a strong negative correlation between PYD and distress. At the within-person level, increases in psychological distress significantly predicted subsequent declines in PYD, whereas the reverse pathway was not significant. These relationships were consistent across genders. LSEM analyses revealed that a stress-is-debilitating mindset linearly moderated the autoregressive pathways of psychological distress.

A sample of 116 participants with emotional distress completed daily assessments of mindfulness, negative affect, and state rumination during the MBI. Data were analyzed using linear mixed models (LMMs) and dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM). LMM results showed that following the MBI, participants' daily mindfulness significantly increased, while daily negative affect and state rumination significantly decreased. Given the single-arm pre–post design without a control group, these pre–post changes should be interpreted cautiously and cannot be attributed solely to the intervention. DSEM results indicated that higher daily mindfulness buffered the effect of daily negative affect on state rumination.

Research has suggested that positive youth development (PYD) varies across individuals and cultures; however, there is still limited understanding of how PYD evolves over time, particularly in non-Western cultural contexts.

A total of 1680 Chinese adolescents (45.9% male, <i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 15.42 years) participated in assessments at three time points with 6-month intervals. The results identified three profiles: asset-poor, moderate, and prosperous.

Both the asset-poor and moderate subgroups showed a tendency to transition toward more adaptive profiles.

The model was evaluated in a four-wave longitudinal study conducted over 1 year among former smokers who had quit within the previous 5 years. Multilevel analyses isolated within-person associations between self-discontinuity, identity, and relapse over time while controlling for time-invariant between-person differences related to smoking history. Results showed that within-person increases in self-discontinuity were indirectly associated with a higher likelihood of relapse at the subsequent wave through their concurrent association with smoker identity, but not ex-smoker identity. Moreover, no indirect effects emerged when changes in both smoker and ex-smoker identities were modeled prospectively. Sensitivity analyses provided no evidence for reverse indirect pathways from identity to relapse via self-discontinuity.

Additionally, we examined whether combining both strategy types is more effective than either strategy alone. We conducted an ecological momentary intervention including a baseline (Week 1), an intervention (Weeks 2–4), and a follow-up (Week 9). Participants—156 German students who regularly consumed meat and aimed to reduce their consumption—were randomized to one of four groups: during the intervention, they received either no, intrapsychic, situational, or both strategies. Meat consumption (in grams) was measured through end-of-the-day reports. Two-part multilevel models showed that receiving strategies (vs. none) and receiving both strategy families (vs. one) increased the odds of meat-free meals during the intervention, but did not reduce overall meat consumption.

Due to the intimate nature of romantic relationships, partners influence experiences of menstrual distress, whether actively engaging with the topic or not.
