We qualitatively analyzed the work/life boundary-setting enactments of 16 employees who returned to the workplace following parental leave using the dialectical lens of control (organizational assimilation) and resistance (individualization). Findings illustrate how employees managed tensions that generated an overarching work/life paradox during organizational resocialization across identity, time, and topic boundary-setting stressors. Employees' tensioned enactments illustrated a control/resistance dialectic whereby paradoxical responses (vacillating, integrating, and/or balancing) were used to align with professional norms or privilege a working parent identity. This study contributes to paradox research and the model of organizational socialization to deepen our theoretical understanding of how resocialization is a communication process where managing work/life paradoxical responses to identity, time, and topic stressors can attenuate dialectical organizational tensions. Furthermore, we offer practical recommendations for organizations, supervisors, and individuals to productively understand and approach tensions.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12466862/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145172776","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 introduces an innovative digital phenotyping approach that combines computational gait analysis with machine learning (ML) to quantify sensation-seeking traits and examines its validity. Natural gait sequences (using a Sony camera at 25 FPS) and self-report measures (Brief Sensation-Seeking Scale for Chinese, BSSS-C) were collected from 233 healthy adults. Computer vision processing through OpenPose extracted 25 skeletal keypoints, which were subsequently transformed into a hip-centered coordinate system and denoised using Gaussian filtering. From these kinematic data, 300 temporospatial gait features capturing various aspects of movement dynamics were derived. Using a supervised ML approach with feature selection, three ML models (SMO Regression, Multilayer Perceptron, and Bagging) were developed and compared through 10-fold cross-validation. The SMO Regression model demonstrated superior performance (<i>r</i> = 0.60, MAE = 3.50, RMSE = 4.59, R² = 0.26), outperforming the other approaches. These results establish proof-of-concept for gait-based digital phenotyping of sensation seeking, offering a scalable, objective assessment paradigm with potential applications in clinical screening and behavioral research.

Silence can be interpreted through both interpersonal and intrapersonal lenses; that is, it can originate from external social interactions or be a personal choice. While external silence reflects responses to societal stimuli, internal silence focuses on individual decisions. The piece contends that silence possesses sociological dimensions-when an individual communicates through silence (such as expressing resistance or alienation), they not only convey personal sentiments but may also represent broader collective concerns. Drawing upon the concept of sociological imagination, it posits that what may seem like an individual issue can mirror shared societal struggles, thus highlighting how personal experiences resonate with community dynamics.

University students of different bachelor's programs were invited to participate; they fulfilled an electronic questionnaire with personal and psychological variables, including academic stress, and performed an intelligence test, which measures verbal and non-verbal intelligence. Finally, their academic achievement was measured with the grade point average (GPA). A total of 437 students were included, of which 296 (67.7%) were women, with a mean age of 20.36 ± 2.61 years old. Academic stress was higher in women than in men and showed moderate positive correlations with anxiety, depression, and somatization and a low positive correlation with the sum of diseases. It also showed a low negative correlation with sleep quality. In addition, academic stress correlated negatively with self-motivation, emotion perception, and emotion management as well as with active coping, positive relations with others, and the studying strategies (self-regulation, effort regulation, critical thinking, and time and study environment). We also observed a low positive correlation between academic stress and academic procrastination, which was higher in women than in men. No correlations were found with GPA or intelligence scores.

This study investigates how organizational identification-a psychological sense of oneness with the organization-is associated with innovative work behavior among South Korean public officials and how this relationship is moderated by charismatic leadership. Grounded in social identity theory and leadership literature, we argue that employees with strong organizational identification are more likely to exhibit innovative work behavior, particularly when supported by leaders who articulate an inspiring vision and embody core public values. Using data from the 2024 Comparative Survey on Perceptions of Public and Private Sector Employees (N = 1012), hierarchical regression analyses reveal that both organizational identification and charismatic leadership significantly promote innovative work behavior. Furthermore, charismatic leadership enhances the positive effect of identification on innovative work behavior.

However, current identification strategies are largely reactive, often missing opportunities for early intervention. Therefore, the potential of machine learning to proactively identify children at risk of ACE exposure needs to be explored. Using nationally representative data from 63,239 children in the 2018-2020 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) after listwise deletion, we trained and validated multiple machine learning models to predict ACE exposure categorized as none, one, or two or more ACEs. Model performance was assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, F1 scores, and area under the curve (AUC) metrics with 5-fold cross-validation. The Random Forest model achieved the highest predictive accuracy (82%) and demonstrated strong performance across ACE categories. Key predictive features included child sex (female), food insufficiency, school absenteeism, quality of parent-child communication, and experiences of bullying. The model yielded high performance in identifying children with no ACEs (F1 = 0.89) and moderate performance for those with multiple ACEs (F1 = 0.64). However, performance for the single ACE category was notably lower (F1 = 0.55), indicating challenges in predicting this intermediate group. These findings suggest that family environment factors can be leveraged to predict ACE exposure with clinically meaningful accuracy, offering a foundation for proactive screening protocols.
