This study examined the serial mediating role of psychological resilience (PR) and problematic media use (PMU) in the relationship between ACEs in early childhood and EBPs. Participants included 534 three-year-old children (mean age of 33.29 years, SD = 3.97) and their parents from Wuhu, China. The parents completed online questionnaires measuring children's ACEs, PR, and demographic information in September 2022 (Time 1), children's PMU in September 2023 (Time 2), and EBPs in September 2024 (Time 3). Macro Process 6 was used to test the serial mediating effects of PR and PMU. A total of 5000 bootstrap samples were used to estimate the 95% confidence intervals. The results revealed that ACEs in early childhood did not directly predict EPBs. PR (b = 0.132 (95% CI [0.051, 0.221])) mediated the relationship between ACEs and children's EBPs. PR and PMU also played a serial mediating role in the association of ACEs and children's EBPs (b = 0.026, 95% CI [0.008, 0.054]).

Yet, much of the research on Black families' disciplinary strategies uses a deficit and myopic lens that focuses on punitive punishment styles (e.g., spanking or taking away privileges). In the current exploratory qualitative study, we used an intergenerational narrative lens and thematic analysis to explore semi-structured interview data from 31 Black mothers (25-60 years, M_age = 46) in the United States around their mothers' disciplinary practices during their childhood. We explored the connections that Black adult daughters made between their childhood disciplinary practices and their current disciplinary practices with their children, as well as their current relationships with their mothers. Adult daughters varied widely in their retrospective accounts of their mothers' disciplinary strategies, which we categorized into three themes: (a) punitive, (b) logical, and (c) natural. We also identified three themes around how their mothers' practices informed their current disciplinary practices with their own children: namely, (d) continuity, (e) mix, and (f) shift. Finally, we identified three themes around the current nature of their mother-daughter relationships: (g) strained, (h) progressing, and (i) healthy. The results highlighted the personal and cultural factors that informed Black women's disciplinary strategies across two generations of mothers and revealed that when adult daughters shifted away from what they experienced during childhood-it was often towards less punitive strategies. Our exploratory findings also pointed to patterns regarding the extent to which Black adult daughters felt connected, validated, and supported by their mothers. The findings lend insight into Black mother-daughter relationship dynamics, particularly around the importance of communication patterns and emotional connection in the culture of discipline within families.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144726994","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}

This study examined how interoceptive sensibility contributes to IGD, the potential mediating roles of positive outcome expectancy and flow experience, as well as the moderating role of refusal self-efficacy. The serial mediation and moderated mediation analyses of data collected from 1733 students (1031 males and 702 females, M_age = 19.56) revealed that interoceptive sensibility was positively associated with IGD, and this connection was serially mediated by positive outcome expectancy and flow experience. Moreover, refusal self-efficacy buffered the positive association between positive outcome expectancy and IGD and between flow experience and IGD. These findings suggest that interoceptive sensibility plays a crucial role in the occurrence of IGD, highlighting the importance of addressing bodily awareness in prevention and intervention strategies. Additionally, enhancing refusal self-efficacy may help mitigate the negative effects of positive outcome expectancy and flow experience, offering potential avenues for reducing IGD risk.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144727048","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}

Data were collected through a four-wave time-lagged design surrounding the Chinese Spring Festival, with a final sample of 349 employees across diverse industries. Results show that pre-holiday emotional strain increases employees' recovery needs, which in turn undermines their workplace vigor. Moreover, boundary strength at home and perceived organizational support buffer the indirect negative pathway, highlighting the critical roles of both personal and organizational resources in the recovery process.

This study addresses the gap by longitudinally examining the psychological evolution of an elite Chinese marathon runner (119 marathons completed) to uncover dynamic shifts from novice to master(s) level athlete stages. A longitudinal single-case study was conducted using inductive thematic analysis. Data included in-depth interviews, observational records, and archival materials spanning three life stages (youth, middle age, maturity). Five experts validated the credibility and validity of the findings. The results show that the runner's psychological trajectory followed a three-phase model: competitive drive (youth: external achievement motivation), reflective transformation (middle age: health prioritization and identity reconfiguration), and value reconstruction (maturity: legacy mission and lifelong running). These stages were shaped by the interplay of achievement motivation, social roles, and physiological changes. Notably, the transition mirrored China's marathon culture shift from elitism to mass participation. This study proposes a novel \"motivation-physicality-society\" interaction model, challenging static theories of sports psychology. It highlights how long-term runners dynamically balance extrinsic and intrinsic motivations while embedding personal growth within socio-cultural transformations. The findings offer theoretical foundations for optimizing psychological support systems and promoting sustainable marathon engagement.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144727037","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}

Thirty-two doctoral students were assigned to receive either ChatGPT feedback or peer feedback on a mid-term assignment. They were then required to complete written reflections. Follow-up interviews with six selected participants revealed that each feedback modality influenced their evaluative judgement differently across three dimensions: hard (accuracy-based), soft (value-based), and dynamic (process-based). While ChatGPT provided timely and detailed guidance, it offered limited support for students' confidence in verifying accuracy.

This phenomenon has become increasingly prominent worldwide, drawing significant attention from both scholars and the public. While shadow education is often associated with improved academic outcomes, its potential mental health implications for adolescents remain underexplored. Based on four large-scale surveys conducted in China from 2016 to 2022, this study examines the association between the duration of shadow education and adolescent depressive symptoms, with particular attention being paid to differences across family backgrounds and policy environments. Utilizing multilevel regression models that incorporate individual, family, and community factors, as well as inverse probability weighting regression adjustment and sensitivity analyses, this study yields three main findings. First, the relationship between shadow education duration and adolescent depressive symptoms demonstrates a U-shaped pattern: moderate engagement is associated with lower depressive symptoms, while both limited and excessive participation are linked to higher symptom levels. Second, adolescents from higher-income families are more likely to maintain shadow education participation within an optimal range and report fewer depressive symptoms. Third, following the implementation of regulatory policies on shadow education in China after 2021, the duration of shadow education among adolescents has generally shifted toward a more balanced level, accompanied by a decrease in depressive symptoms. These results underscore the need to consider the nonlinear mental health effects of shadow education in both research and policymaking. In particular, contextual factors, such as socioeconomic background and policy interventions, should be taken into account when formulating and regulating supplementary educational activities. By addressing these dimensions, policymakers can better balance the academic benefits of shadow education with its potential risks for adolescent mental health.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144727113","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}
