Older adults living alone face high risks of depression and functional decline; culturally adapted, non-pharmacological options are needed.

High magnitude earthquakes are a natural disaster, often resulting in psychosocial and economic devastation. In patriarchal societies, women may suffer more losses than men and may be disadvantaged in earthquake management. Generation Z has more independent personal characteristics than previous generations, which may have an impact on gender perceptions and individual cultural values on earthquake management.

In an increasingly globalised and diverse world, inclusion is a crucial pillar of social development. Creating environments where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported is important for personal and social development. This article analyses the possibilities for training and inclusion provided by an acrosport service learning project based around shared learning by all participants. University students from a physical activity and sports sciences (PASS) programme participated in this project, implementing an inclusive acrosport training programme for students with intellectual disabilities from the university's own Training for Labour Market Inclusion (TLMIC) and for students from the bachelor's degree in primary education with a specialisation in physical education (BPE-PE). This research used a qualitative methodological design that made it possible to approach the participants' perspective. A variety of information collection instruments were used: individual interviews, a focus group, field journals, and learning journals. The results showed that participating in inclusive environments, which promote the active, equitable, and meaningful participation of all students within a shared learning environment, benefited the participating students with intellectual disabilities and the future PE teachers. The former group learned about acrosport and positively valued the sessions' inclusiveness as this enabled them to meet new people and make connections outside class in a university setting with people who do not have disabilities, and they experienced feelings that they identified as positive. As for the students without disabilities who played the role of teachers, they felt that their learning of the content was more meaningful and they felt more self-confident when designing and implementing inclusive sessions. Finally, the participants without disabilities (in the roles of teacher and student) felt that they had transference at an academic and professional level of what they learned and that the inclusive experience made them reject stereotypes about people with disabilities. They also regarded having established links with people from various programmes as being positive and experienced positive feelings from having participated in the project. The findings of this research suggest that the development of the inclusive acrosport service learning programme generates relevant benefits for all those involved.

Frequent exposure to video gaming induces changes in cognitive and perceptual functions and alterations in neural structure and functioning. While frequent video gaming has been associated with positive effects in cognitive-perceptual domains, it may concurrently exert adverse impact on social-emotional functioning. This study used event-related EEG brain oscillations to investigate the effect of frequent playing video games on the visual and auditory working memory processes.

In the era of human-machine integration, digital technology highlights its important enabling role in the development of youth sports. The objective of this study is to examine the mechanism through which AI Anthropomorphism is associated with exercise motivation among adolescents.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become integral to organizational transformation and daily management, making employee AI usage (AI-U) an increasingly prevalent phenomenon. However, despite its growing importance, little is known about how leadership and contextual factors shape employees' usage of AI.

Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which sensory inputs automatically elicit consistent additional sensations. Sound-color synesthesia, one of the most widely recognized forms, involves experiencing colors and shapes in response to auditory stimuli. Within this, timbre-color synesthesia, reported in 26% of music-color synesthetes, has rarely been studied in depth, particularly regarding how specific timbre manipulations influence color perception.

The widespread use of social media has transformed how university students develop knowledge and prepare for future careers. However, limited evidence exists on whether structured and purposeful engagement with these platforms can strengthen students' digital literacy and career competence, particularly within the Asian higher education context.

This study investigates the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between self-efficacy and life satisfaction among student athletes. Self-efficacy and psychological resilience are considered key psychological resources that can enhance overall well-being and life satisfaction, particularly in the context of sports.

The global incidence of adverse mental health symptoms among university students at various stages has been increasing year by year. Compared to passive medical treatments, physical exercise, as a rehabilitative therapeutic approach, appears to play a significant role in preventing poor mental health among students. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of physical activity interventions on the mental health status of university students.

Oncohematological patients undergo a complex emotional adaptation process, in which Fear of Cancer Recurrence (FCR) is one of the most prevalent concerns. This fear not only negatively impacts their psychological well-being but is also associated with a significant reduction in quality of life.

The growing literature has emphasized the role of facial structures in affecting human behavioral tendencies, particularly the debate on whether a person's facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) influences their aggressive behavior. The development of the digital economy and e-sports-where players use virtual characters rather than engaging in physical fighting-provides a new research context. We aimed to explore the role of the fWHR of players, and the similarity to their virtual characters, in predicting aggressive behavior.

This study examined the psychometric properties of two widely used scales measuring teacher attitudes (Attitudes to Inclusion Scale; AIS) and self-efficacy (Teacher Efficacy for Inclusive Practices Scale; TEIP and its short form TEIP-SF) toward inclusive education.

To investigate the impact of 24-h movement behaviors-sleep (SP), sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)-on preschool children's learning ability, with emphasis on inhibitory control as a mediating variable.

Perceived community resilience (PCR) serves as the foundation for sustainable development, yet the psychological impetus driving the enhancement of PCR remains to be elucidated. This study delved into the psychological motivation underpinning PCR by examining the interrelationships between PCR and public service motivation (PSM), sense of community (SOC), and sense of community responsibility (SOC-R).

The phenomenon of classroom silence significantly impacts the enhancement of instructional quality. Investigating its causes and pathways constitutes the core breakthrough in addressing this issue. Adopting social loafing as the independent variable, this study constructs a theoretical model mediated by learning motivation and moderated by instructional factors. Through questionnaire surveys and structural equation modeling analysis involving 1,402 college students, we explore the influential pathways of classroom silence. Key findings include: (1) Social loafing positively predicts classroom silence ( = 0.42), with learning motivation serving as a partial mediator, accounting for 11.55% of the mediating effect; (2) Instructional factors demonstrate differentiated moderating mechanisms: content and methodology moderate the mediator model through dual-path regulation-mitigating social loafing's negative impact on learning motivation (moderating effects  = -0.02 ~ -0.03) while reinforcing learning motivation's inhibitory effect on silence ( = -0.02). Teaching style uniquely regulates the first pathway, whereas instructor characteristics systematically regulate the entire mediation process; (3) Although quality instructional elements reduce silent behaviors through mediation pathways, they paradoxically amplify the direct effects of social loafing among individuals, highlighting group differentiation phenomena. This study provides practical guidance for higher education management and theoretical references for mitigating college students' silent classroom behaviors.

Emotional intelligence and mental toughness are recognized as key psychological factors influencing athletic performance and well-being. However, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between these constructs, and the potential impact of demographic factors, remain underexplored, especially among amateur soccer players.

Grounded in social support theory, this study aims to develop and validate the Perceived University Employment Support Scale (PUESS) to systematically evaluate the role of higher education institutions in facilitating graduates' successful transition into the labor market.

Under an involution context, and drawing on dual-pressure perception and related theories, the mechanism by which dual academic research pressures influence anxiety among Chinese master's students was examined.

Teacher resilience has recently received significant attention in psychology and general education. However, the research on English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher resilience, particularly among vocational school teachers, has been understudied. There is still a lack of exploration regarding the internal structure of EFL vocational school teacher resilience in the Chinese context. To address this gap, this study employed a structural equation modeling approach to investigate the structure of resilience among EFL vocational school teachers. The EFL Teacher Resilience Scale was completed by 265 Chinese EFL vocational school teachers. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a tri-dimensional structure of EFL vocational school teacher resilience involving professional, emotional and social and cultural dimensions. Additionally, the findings of this research indicated a significantly high level of EFL vocational school teacher resilience, both overall and across its three dimensions. These findings provided implications for the sustainable professional development of EFL vocational school teachers and suggestions for further research in this field.

This study aimed to explore the intricate relationship between negative attention bias and mobile phone addiction, with a particular focus on the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of anxiety.

This study examined whether internship experience influences aviation students' career motivation and professional attitude through the mediating role of professional identity.

The integration of Artificial intelligence (AI) tools in language education has reshaped learners' perceptions and behavioral responses. While earlier studies have examined the cognitive and affective effects of learners' perceived AI interactivity (PAII), less is known about its influence on motivated behavioral engagement. Motivated learning behaviors (MLBs) are crucial for sustained language learning. Accordingly, this study investigated how four dimensions of PAII predict MLBs among 171 Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners, and whether daily AI usage duration (DAIUD) moderates these effects. Participants completed a validated questionnaire measuring PAII, MLBs, and DAIUD. Statistical results indicated that all four PAII dimensions significantly and positively predicted MLBs, with LC exerting the strongest predictive effect and R the weakest. Moreover, DAIUD significantly moderated the paths for R, LC, and P, strengthening their positive associations with MLBs, but it did not significantly moderate the LE path. This study expands the literature by applying a multidimensional construct of PAII to explain learners' MLBs in Chinese EFL contexts. Moreover, these findings offer practical implications for designing learner-centered AI tools, and for educators providing tailored guidance for EFL learners in AI-supported learning.

University students are increasingly vulnerable to mental health challenges, highlighting the need for targeted and theory-driven interventions. Physical activity has been widely recognized for its psychological benefits, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. Guided by the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates how physical activity influences mental health among university students through the chain-mediating roles of self-efficacy and emotion regulation.

This study examines the mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE) in female nurses on the relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) and turnover intention (TI), focusing specifically on female nurses with two children in Tertiary Grade-A hospitals in Sichuan Province. By exploring how RESE influences the impact of WFC on nurses' intentions to leave, the study aims to offer valuable insights for strategies to reduce nurse turnover and enhance the stability of the nursing workforce.

This case-study investigated the motor control strategies underpinning a world-record performance in short-duration, high-intensity rope skipping, focusing on control accuracy and temporal adaptations under extreme speed and fatigue. Methods included 3D motion capture, ground reaction force measurements, and biomechanical modeling. Biomechanical parameters were quantified to identify time-dependent changes and distinctive control strategies. Results demonstrated exceptional clearance accuracy, with left foot operating at mechanical limit and right providing a safety margin. Progressive adaptations of COG height and ROM reflected fatigue-related adjustments, revealing a three-phase adaptation model. Kinetic analyses indicated a functional division of labor, with left leg serving as the power limb and right as the timing limb. Kinematic findings further identified a hierarchical control strategy: trunk adjustments provided rhythmic scaffolding, left leg joints stabilized during contact, and right leg joints enhanced clearance mobility. These results illustrate how asymmetric, hierarchical coordination optimizes performance under extreme temporal and spatial constraints.

Attention plays a crucial role in learning by enabling concentration and retention. Deficits in attention are frequently associated with academic difficulties, particularly among children and adolescents with genetic disorders.
