The relationship and intervention research between college students’ mindfulness level and academic procrastination
学业拖延在大学生中普遍存在,不仅影响他们的学业成绩,还对其心理健康产生深远影响。国内外学者早已关注学业拖延问题,但以往的研究主要关注拖延的行为和认知层面,往往忽略拖延的情绪方面。本研究认为学业拖延的关键影响因素来自完美主义及自我否定引起的情绪困扰。正念训练能显著提高自我觉察、自我接纳,改善情绪调节能力,促进心理健康状态。本研究通过团体正念训练干预大学生学业拖延,为大学生学业拖延干预方案提供实证依据。研究共分两个部分。
研究一探讨了大学生正念水平与学业拖延的关系,以及自我接纳和焦虑在其中的中介作用。研究选取浙江省某高校 1381 名大学生,采用正念五因素量表(FFMQ)、拖延评定量表-学生版(PASS)、自我接纳量表(SAQ)、特质焦虑量表(STAI) 等测量工具。相关分析结果表明,正念与学业拖延呈显著负相关,正念与自我接纳呈显著正相关,正念与焦虑呈显著负相关。采用 Bootstrap 及链式中介效应检验,结果发现正念对学业拖延的影响通过自我接纳和焦虑的不完全链式中介作用得以实现。其中,自我接纳能直接中介正念与学业拖延的关系;焦虑能间接中介正念对学业拖延的关系。Mplus 调整后模型结果显示,正念通过自我接纳影响焦虑,进而影响学业拖延。
研究二通过对照实验设计,对干预组被试进行为期 8 周的正念团体训练,讨 论其对大学生学业拖延的干预效果。将参加研究的大学生随机分为对照组(n=31) 和干预组(n=31)。干预组进行 8 周的正念团体训练,对照组则维持日常生活学习状态。采用 FFMQ、PASS、SAQ、STAI 等测量工具分别对干预组和对照组进行前后测。8 周正念团体训练后,干预组相比训练前,学业拖延、焦虑水平显著下降,同时自我接纳、正念水平显著提高。而对照组实验前后均无明显变化。
结果表明,大学生的正念对学业拖延具有直接的负向预测作用,即正念水平越高,学业拖延水平越低。自我接纳和焦虑能直接中介正念与学业拖延的关系;正念对焦虑的作用通过自我接纳完全中介而来。正念团体训练能有效提升大学生正念水平、自我接纳水平、降低其学业拖延水平,缓解其学业焦虑,是促进大学生心理健康的可行之道。</p
Effects of Obesity on the Relationship Between Eating Behaviours and Cognitive Emotion Regulation in Chinese College Students: A Network Analysis
BackgroundMaladaptive eating behaviours and cognitive emotion regulation strategies are prevalent in obese populations, both of which have complex aetiologies and interact with each other. This study aimed to examine the interaction between eating behaviours and cognitive emotion regulation strategies, conceptualising symptoms as variables that can directly interact with each other, and explore differences between obese and non-obese populations.Methods742 obese and 810 non-obese students were recruited from a university in northern China. Network analysis was used to characterise the network of eating behaviours and cognitive emotion regulation strategies of obese and non-obese students and then compared two network structures' differences.ResultsThe network structures of obese and non-obese students differed in terms of the global strength of connections between network symptoms. In the network structure of obese students, the highest key bridge symptom was "catastrophizing", and the association between "catastrophizing" and "hunger" was the primary bridging edge, which were different from the network structure of non-obese students.ConclusionsOur results suggest that in the obese population, more attention should be paid to certain maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies such as catastrophizing, which provides new perspectives for preventing or intervening in abnormal eating behaviours (e.g., binge eating) or eating disorders in the obese population
The effect of time delay on young adults' prospective memory
This study examined the effect of time delay on prospective memory (PM) by manipulating the interval between encoding and retrieval of an event-based PM task. Seventy-four participants were randomly assigned to one of three delay conditions (immediate, 1-day, and 1-week) and were instructed on a classic dual event-based PM task during the first online experimental session. They were then asked to undertake the PM task after the designated delay period based on their assigned experimental condition in the second online session. Significant main effects of delay on PM performance (measured in terms of remembrance and accuracy) were found. Post hoc test results revealed that, when compared to the no-delay condition, the 1-week delay condition impacted both remembrance as well as accuracy of the PM task, while the 1-day delay condition affected only accuracy but not remembrance. This study provides a unique contribution to the PM literature by including longer delay intervals between PM encoding and retrieval to improve ecological validity. In future research, this factor should be considered when studying PM in different groups of participants, including children, older individuals, and clinical populations.</p
Relationship between psychological richness and innovative behavior in Chinese college students
This study explored the chain mediating effects of self-expansion and creative self-efficacy in the relationship between psychological richness and innovative behavior. We conducted a survey of 901 Chinese college students using standardized scales for assessing psychological richness, self-expansion, creative self-efficacy, and innovative behavior. The results showed that there were significant and positive correlations among psychological richness, selfrichness had a direct effect on innovative behavior, and the single mediation and chain mediation effects of self-expansion and creative self-efficacy were also significant. By identifying the underlying mechanisms through which psychological richness influences innovation behavior, this study enriches the field of positive psychology and provides valuable theoretical and practical insights for fostering individual innovation

How Does Nature Connectedness Improve Mental Health in College Students? A Study of Chain Mediating Effects
How does nature connectedness influence college students' mental health? To further understand the dynamics at play, this present study delves into the chain mediating roles of resilience and meaning in life, from the perspective of the natural environment's impact on mental health. In April 2024, researchers utilized quantitative research methods to analyze questionnaire data from 703 college students in China, assessing multiple dimensions such as nature connectedness, resilience, meaning in life, and mental health. The results show the following: (1) All pairs of variables showed significant correlations. (2) Resilience is partly mediated by nature connectedness and mental health. (3) Meaning in life is found to have a partial mediating effect, further elucidating this relationship. (4) A chain mediating role is played by resilience and meaning in life in the connection between nature connectedness and mental health. This study expands the research scope of health psychology, has interdisciplinary research significance, and furnishes theoretical support and important guidance, which are essential in improving college students' mental health.</p
Combining remote and collaborative research: A critical reflection on large-scale, comparative, and interdisciplinary research in times of a global crisis
This paper examines the methodological and ethical challenges of conducting remote research on child-animal relationships across thirty communities in 17 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It critically assesses remote research as a mode of collaboration informed by decolonial aspirations, highlighting the complexities of navigating temporal and geographical distances, mitigating global inequalities, and addressing political and methodological tensions at the intersection of psychological anthropology and cross-cultural developmental psychology. By engaging with these challenges, the paper fosters critical dialogue on research ethics and methodologies between anthropology and psychology, advancing a broader intellectual engagement toward translocal equity.

Clinical Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Residual Language Learning Ability in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness
Recent research suggests that the detection of preserved cognitive function can assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). This study investigates EEG signals as indicators of neural activity associated with the processing of transitional probabilities during a learning paradigm in patients with DoC. By examining the sensitivity to transitional probabilities across levels of consciousness, we aim to assess the potential value of this indicator in clinical diagnosis and prognosis. We collected EEG recordings from 51 DoC patients (10 female) and 26 healthy controls (9 female). EEG activity was recorded while participants listened to artificial vocabulary speech sequences before and after the learning phase. Intertrial phase coherence (ITPC) was used to examine differences in neural responses in different learning phases. Results showed that minimally conscious patients showed a significant increase in the word-tracking response after the learning phase, similar to healthy controls. Moreover, their learning-mediated word-rate ITPC difference correlated significantly with their Coma Recovery Scale-Revised score and 6 month outcome. However, these correlations were absent in unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients. Crucially, differences in vocabulary ITPC before and after the learning phase effectively discriminated between healthy controls and patients, as well as between minimally conscious and unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients. Combining EEG indicators with clinical performance accurately predicted patients' prognosis. In conclusion, the language learning paradigm has the potential to contribute to both diagnosis and prognosis in this challenging population, thereby significantly reducing prognostic uncertainty in medical decision-making and benefiting the rehabilitation of DoC patients
Longitudinal Cross-Lagged Relationships of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults With Childhood Bullying Victimization Experiences
Background: Individuals who have experienced bullying victimization often develop symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), depression, and anxiety, with these symptoms mutually influencing one another. This study aims to explore the reciprocal relationships between CPTSD, depression, and anxiety among adolescents and emerging adults who have experienced childhood bullying victimization, from both variable-level and symptom-level perspectives.Method: A total of 3945 adolescents and 2726 emerging adults with childhood bullying victimization experiences were measured 6-month interval in the study. All the participants completed the questionnaires assessing for bullying victimization, CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. The data were analyzed using cross-lagged panel analysis and cross-lagged network analysis.Results: The cross-lagged panel analysis reveals that CPTSD more strongly and consistently predicts depression and anxiety, whereas the reverse influence is weaker across both groups. At the symptom level, for adolescents, "death" (in depression) influences "feel worthless" (in CPTSD) and "feel like a failure" (in CPTSD). Additionally, "death" (in depression) is more likely to predict subsequent symptoms, while "feel like a failure" (in CPTSD) is more frequently activated by other symptoms. In the emerging adults, some strong cross-lagged effects were observed, such as "motor" (in depression) to "traumatic dreams" (in CPTSD) and "worthless" (in depression) to "feel like a failure" (in CPTSD). In addition, "exaggerated startle" (in CPTSD) tends to predict symptoms, while "feel like a failure" (in CPTSD) is more frequently activated.Conclusions: Findings suggested that interventions alleviating "death" (in depression) among adolescents and "exaggerated startle" (in CPTSD) among emerging adults may improve overall mental health
Unequal roles of symptoms in Internet gaming disorder: A network analysis in early adolescence and emerging adulthood
Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), recognized as a psychiatric condition especially prevalent among young people, still requires further clarification regarding the age-related differences. The current study employed graphical Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (gLASSO) network to assess the central symptoms of IGD in adolescents. Additionally, directed acyclic graphs (DAG) were used to explore the directed dependence among these symptoms. A total of 953 early adolescents (Mage = 11.66, SD = 1.06) and 968 emerging adults (Mage = 19.21, SD = 1.00), all of whom reported at least one symptom on the Nine-Item Internet Gaming Disorder ScaleShort Form (IGDS9-SF), participated in this study. The results uncovered distinct age-based differences in the symptom structures of IGD. The gLASSO network analysis showed that Spend Time Thinking About Gaming was more central in early adolescence, while Increased Gaming Urges and Unsuccessful Attempts To Reduce were more important components in emerging adulthood. The networks' stability was estimated to be robust. The DAG analysis indicated that Spend Time Thinking About Gaming was the most influential symptom in early adolescents, triggering a cascade of downstream symptoms. In emerging adulthood, Increased Gaming Urges, Unsuccessful Attempts to Reduce, and Irritated When Trying to Reduce were mutually reinforcing, sustaining the symptomatic network. This empirical evidence enhances our understanding of the symptomatic structure of IGD among different age groups, providing a foundation for tailored interventions.</p
