Drawing on dual-process theory and the online servicescape perspective, two 2 × 2 between-subjects experiments were conducted in apparel and cosmetics shopping contexts, with 192 valid participants in each study. The results show that peripheral-route-oriented user interfaces, characterized by visual richness and interactivity, consistently produce higher perceived shopping quality than central-route-oriented user interfaces. Low-complexity interfaces are also evaluated more favorably than high-complexity interfaces. However, the conditional effects differ across product categories. Study 1 provided qualified evidence that shopping frequency conditioned the joint effect of interface type and complexity, whereas in Study 2, interface type and complexity mainly showed direct effects. These findings suggest that effective digital shopping interfaces should combine visual richness with structural simplicity, while also accounting for differences across product categories. The study applies a dual-process-informed perspective to digital interface design and identifies product category and shopping engagement as potential boundary conditions in consumer responses to online shopping environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13603840/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149057728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design was employed with a sample of 1096 students aged 18-29 years. Participants completed measures of suicidal ideation, adult attachment, and leisure activities. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analyses, ANOVA, and binary logistic regression models were conducted. Results revealed a high prevalence of medium-to-high suicidal ideation (55.9%) and insecure attachment styles (63.5%). Women reported higher levels of insecure attachment, a greater risk of suicidal ideation, and lower participation in physical leisure activities than men. Insecure attachment was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of suicidal ideation, whereas participation in physical leisure activities was associated with a lower likelihood of suicidal ideation. Logistic regression analyses confirmed that both attachment style and physical leisure remained significant predictors of suicidal ideation after controlling for sex. No significant associations were found between suicidal ideation and daily internet use or most social network variables. These findings highlight the relevance of relational and behavioral factors in understanding suicidal ideation and underscore the potential value of promoting physical leisure activities and identifying insecure attachment early as areas for further research and intervention in university populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13603495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149057286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Technology Threat Avoidance Theory (TTAT) to construct an integrated dual mediation model, adopting perceived effortlessness and perceived risk as parallel mediators. Online questionnaire surveys were distributed to individual sellers operating on Chinese C2C second-hand trading platforms. After screening and data cleaning, a final valid sample of 261 respondents was retained. Partial least-squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to empirically test the proposed research model. The results demonstrate that personal factors (perceived busyness, desire for control, AI acceptance) and situational factors (product standardization, social influence, platform safeguards) jointly shape individual sellers' dual perceptions. These antecedents exert differentiated impacts on the two mediating constructs, which subsequently predict individual sellers' intentions to adopt AI chatbots. This research clarifies the balancing mechanism of positive and negative perceptions in technology decision-making. The framework reconciles conflicting psychological evaluations of intelligent systems, deepens the understanding of paradoxical adoption behaviors, and offers practical implications for optimizing intelligent services within C2C second-hand ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"16 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13603910/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149057404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sample of 1848 Chinese adolescents in Grades 7, 8, and 10 (ages 12-18 years) completed measures of academic engagement, mental well-being, and demographic, socioeconomic, and psychosocial characteristics.

The resulting profiles were labeled Moderate Distress with Moderate Functioning, Psychologically Stable but Disengaged, Flourishing and Engaged, Distressed but Engaged, and Highly Vulnerable and Disengaged. Notably, relatively high engagement could coexist with psychological vulnerability, suggesting that engagement alone does not indicate optimal functioning. Psychosocial resources were consistently associated with more favorable profiles, while demographic and socioeconomic factors showed more variable associations.

The findings indicate that nurses' compassion satisfaction has a statistically significant positive effect on workplace happiness and employee well-being. Employee well-being fully mediates the relationship between compassion satisfaction and workplace happiness. This finding suggests that nurses' compassion satisfaction alone is insufficient to directly increase workplace happiness; however, improving employee well-being can increase nurses' workplace happiness. It is recommended that staffing levels be adjusted based on nurses' workloads, that managers adopt a nurse-centered leadership style, and that flexible work hours be integrated into the system.

Participants were 304 junior secondary school students from Ningbo, China who completed self-developed measures of perceived classical Chinese text reading ability, five-virtue moral cognition, five-virtue moral practice, and internalization experience.

Cross-sectional data were obtained from 1338 multicultural adolescents in South Korea who participated in the fifth wave (2015) of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS). Serial mediation analysis (PROCESS Model 6) was performed to examine the mediating roles of acculturative stress and ego-resiliency. A Gaussian graphical network was subsequently estimated to identify central nodes, bridge nodes, and node predictability among bullying victimization, acculturative stress, ego-resiliency, and depressive symptoms. Bullying victimization was positively associated with depressive symptoms. Significant indirect associations were observed through acculturative stress and ego-resiliency, both independently and through the theoretically specified serial pathway.
