Although extensive research has demonstrated the influence of emotions and emotion regulation strategies on eating behavior, little is known about the specific role of socially induced negative affect. Based on the Incentive Sensitization Theory of Addiction and the cognitive mechanisms of emotional stimuli processing, the present study recruited junior high school students and conducted two experiments to examine whether socially induced negative affect leads to a greater increase in high-calorie food intake among adolescents compared to nonsocially induced negative affect, as well as to explore the role of emotion regulation strategies. Experiment 1 showed that exposure to socially induced negative affect led to a significantly greater increase in high-calorie food intake compared to both nonsocially induced negative and neutral affective conditions. Experiment 2 showed that participants who used cognitive reappraisal during socially induced negative affect chose significantly less high-calorie food than those who used expressive suppression. The results demonstrate that socially induced negative affect influences adolescent high-calorie food intake and the specific use of cognitive reappraisal in regulating emotion-driven consumption. The present study extends theoretical understanding of social affective influences on dietary behavior and provides actionable insights for developing targeted emotion-regulation interventions to promote health for adolescents.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

However, few studies have validated the effectiveness of nature-based meaning interventions in enhancing subjective well-being. This study consisted of a 7-day online intervention to examine the effects of nature-based meaning-focused photography on well-being by comparing a photo-only group, a photo + writing group, and a waiting list control group and how meaning in life mediates the relationship between nature contact and well-being. A pre-registered three-arm randomized controlled trial (groups: photo + writing group vs. photo-only group vs. control group) * (time: pre-test vs. post-test vs. 1-month follow-up) was conducted with 219 college students. In the photo + writing group, participants captured nature scenes and wrote 100-word reflections. The photo-only group only took nature photos. The primary outcomes were meaning in life and well-being, and the secondary outcome was life satisfaction. A conservative Bayesian causal forest analysis based on machine learning was used to detect both treatment and heterogeneous intervention effects. Compared with the control group, the photo + writing group showed positive effects on meaning in life, subjective well-being, and life satisfaction, with average treatment effects of 0.36, 0.27, and 0.66 standard deviations (SD), respectively. The photo-only group also showed generally positive effects on these outcomes, with average treatment effects of 0.27, 0.24, and 0.54 SD, respectively. However, these effects were not sustained after 1 month. The intervention was especially beneficial for participants from lower subjective socioeconomic status, with limited prior nature exposure, or lower baseline psychological well-being. Importantly, enhanced meaning in life helped explain how the intervention improved well-being and life satisfaction. This study also demonstrated that combining nature-based photography and reflective writing can improve well-being.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

This randomized controlled trial examined the effect of a 4-week OLP intervention on psychological distress and hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in 202 healthy university students preparing for mandatory oral exams and whether dispositional optimism moderates the OLP effects. Participants were randomly assigned to an OLP or control group. Psychological distress was repeatedly assessed via negative affect, test anxiety, and subjective stress. HCC was measured before and within the intervention. Treatment expectations were additionally examined in interaction with optimism. Results show that OLPs significantly reduced psychological distress and HCC compared to the controls. Optimism moderated the OLP effect on HCC, with less optimistic individuals demonstrating the strongest reduction, independent of expectation. Optimism did not moderate OLP effects in psychological distress. However, the OLP effect on psychological distress depended on the three-way interaction of group, optimism, and expectation. The results suggest that OLPs alleviate the psychophysiological impact of a real-life stressor and indicate that optimism and expectation differently shape psychological and physiological OLP responses. These findings are discussed within the framework of the interactionist perspective.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Adults (Mage ≈ 46 years, predominantly female) from a German biosphere region were nonrandomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 56) undergoing a 3-week NBMI or to a wait-list control group (n = 49). Participants completed measures of nature connection (nature-based mindfulness and emotional affinity toward nature), environmental cognition (threat awareness and responsibility), and behavior (intentions, PEB, and time in nature) at three time points over 15 weeks. Mixed models for repeated measures (MMRM) analyses revealed that the NBMI group showed significantly greater increases in nature connection and responsibility attributions post-intervention than the control group. Although immediate PEB effects were mixed, a key finding was a delayed impact: The NBMI group exhibited significantly greater PEB (d = 0.53) and spent more time in nature (d = 0.34) at follow-up compared to T1, consistent with a time-lagged effect potentially mediated by enhanced connection. These findings suggest that NBMIs effectively cultivate a deeper relationship with nature, providing a psychological foundation for sustained environmental stewardship.

This study applied machine learning to four-wave longitudinal data from 5019 Chinese adolescents (ages 9–19) to identify the key predictors of PYD at T4 (controlling for prior PYD at T3), measured by the Chinese 4Cs model (Character, Competence, Confidence, Connection).

Heterogeneity analyses revealed an age gradient: School climate dominated for primary and middle school students, whereas parental loneliness dominated for high school students. Student type analyses uncovered three distinct developmental pathways: an aspirational pathway characterized by social mobility belief for migrant children, a relational pathway characterized by parental loneliness for left-behind and urban children, and a clinical pathway characterized by depression for rural ordinary children. These findings provide empirical support for differentiated, context-sensitive intervention strategies targeting PYD across diverse Chinese adolescent populations.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.

Parallel growth analyses revealed that higher initial PA predicted slower WSS accumulation (β = −.22), and higher initial WSS forecasted steeper PA declines (β = −.20). Critically, reciprocal within-person effects emerged only during the academic semester (T1 → T2): deviations above one's typical PA level reduced subsequent WSS (β = −.15), and elevated WSS suppressed later PA (β = −.18), whereas the corresponding cross-lagged effects were not significant during the winter vacation (T2 → T3), underscoring context-dependent temporality. No gender moderation was detected.

Random intercept cross-lagged panel model analyses showed that, at the within-person level, subjective academic stress and SWB exhibited a significant bidirectional relationship over time, forming a reciprocal cycle. Specifically, increases in subjective academic stress predicted subsequent decreases in SWB, and decreases in SWB predicted subsequent increases in subjective academic stress, with the predictive effects of subjective academic stress on SWB being significantly stronger than the corresponding reverse effects. In addition, sleep duration played a mediating role in the bidirectional relationship between subjective academic stress and SWB, and the mediating effects of sleep duration in the paths from subjective academic stress to SWB were significantly stronger than those in the reverse paths. These findings provide empirical support for evaluative theories and, from a mind–body unity perspective, reveal sleep duration as an important mechanism linking subjective academic stress and adolescents' SWB, offering practical insights for alleviating adolescents' academic stress and promoting their SWB.","PeriodicalId":8127,"journal":{"name":"Applied psychology.
