{"title":"Group Music Activities and Academic Burnout Among Non-Music-Major College Students with Recent Group Music Participation: A Cross-Sectional SEM-fsQCA Study.","authors":"Lingran Liu, Haohao Yang, Sen Chen","doi":"10.3390/bs16101887","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/bs16101887","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Academic burnout among college students is an important concern in educational psychology and student well-being. This cross-sectional study examined the associations among group music activity participation, social connectedness, collective effervescence, and academic burnout among non-music-major college students with recent group music participation. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1027 college students in China who had participated in at least one group music activity during the previous semester. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to examine whether group music activity participation was associated with academic burnout directly and indirectly through social connectedness and collective effervescence, including a proposed sequence from social connectedness to collective effervescence. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was further used to examine which combinations of group music activity participation, social connectedness, and collective effervescence were associated with low academic burnout. The SEM results showed that higher group music activity participation was significantly associated with lower academic burnout. Social connectedness and collective effervescence were involved in significant individual indirect associations, and the serial indirect association involving social connectedness followed by collective effervescence was also statistically supported. The fsQCA results showed that no single condition constituted a necessary condition for low academic burnout. The joint presence of high group music activity participation, high social connectedness, and high collective effervescence formed a sufficient configuration associated with low academic burnout (consistency = 0.896, coverage = 0.647) under the present sample and analytical conditions. Taken together, the findings suggest that group music participation, relational connectedness, and shared emotional experience are meaningfully associated with differences in academic burnout among non-music-major college students. These findings provide a complementary variable-centered and configurational perspective on the psychosocial correlates of group music participation and may inform future longitudinal research and campus-based student well-being initiatives.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149261402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used a mixed-methods design, including questionnaire filling-out, open-text responding, and collaborative online empathy mapping, to explore cyberaggression experiences among racialized youth. Thirteen youths (aged 13 to 25) joined the present study. Participants were mostly heterosexual young men (<i>n</i> = 11) who self-identified as Black (<i>n</i> = 12) and Indigenous (<i>n</i> = 1). Participants resided in Canada (<i>n</i> = 4), the USA (<i>n</i> = 4), Kenya (<i>n</i> = 4), and South Africa (<i>n</i> = 1). Findings from quantitative data suggest that participants perpetrated bias-based cyberaggression behaviors, targeting others' sexual orientations and gender identities; they were also victims of cyberaggression for their racial identity. Qualitative findings describe targeted cyberaggression, hate speech, and hacking of social media profiles. Peers encourage them to perpetrate cyberaggression and think about how they \"[want to] settle the score.\" Instead, participants did not respond to hurtful posts. Participants did seek social support to cope with cyberaggression from their siblings, close relatives, and friends. Findings indicate that for research on online wellbeing, it is important to engage diverse youth with lived experience of cyberaggression. The results provide preliminary support for empathy as a potential focus of bias-based cyberaggression prevention and intervention efforts.

PLS-SEM revealed that the composite construct of digital strain (integrating telepressure and technostress) acts as a significant indirect pathway linking academic stress and athlete burnout. Furthermore, fsQCA demonstrated that no single condition is necessary for high burnout; rather, specific combinations-such as high academic stress coupled with high techno-overload, or a purely \"digital saturation\" state-constitute configurations sufficiently associated with high burnout within this calibrated sample. Conversely, configurations associated with non-high burnout are asymmetrical, primarily relying on the concurrent absence of telepressure and techno-overload. Under the digital management paradigm, implicit digital strain acts as a critical proximal conduit for psychological exhaustion. The manifestation of high and non-high burnout is asymmetrical, depending on complex configurations of structural academic demands and digital expectations.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149261290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on affordance theory, we argue that the translating mind is a dynamically organized process through which the translator and its environment constitute and transform a landscape of enlanguaged translation affordances that emerges through loops of brain-body-environment interactions.

Drawing on complementary perspectives from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study examined transformational leadership in relation to teachers' readiness for AI integration using complementary variable- and person-centered analyses of data from 596 Chinese in-service K-12 teachers. The variable-centered results showed that transformational leadership was positively associated with teachers' behavioral intention to use AI tools, with indirect associations involving willingness to develop AI competence and constructivist teaching beliefs. The person-centered analysis identified four readiness profiles: (1) Favorable Orientation but Behavioral Hesitation, (2) Limited Orientation and Behavioral Hesitation, (3) Low Orientation and Weak Behavioral Inclination, and (4) Favorable Orientation and Behavioral Inclination. Profiles 1 and 4 both showed relatively high constructivist beliefs and willingness to develop AI competence, but Profile 4 reported stronger behavioral intention to use AI tools. Profiles 2 and 3 were below the sample average across all three indicators, with Profile 3 showing the lowest behavioral intention. Relative to Profile 1, higher transformational leadership was associated with greater odds of membership in Profile 4 and lower odds of membership in Profile 3.
