Abstract

Graduate program climates are an essential part of training, professional development, and identity for future school psychologists. One of the challenges of understanding program climate is how to measure such a construct so that programs can facilitate welcoming and transformational spaces for learning and critical thinking. This study aimed to develop and initially validate a measure of graduate students' perceptions and experiences of school psychology program climates, the Climate Assessment for Relationships and Equity in School Psychology. Results of an exploratory factor analysis from a sample of 212 school psychology graduate students revealed a four-factor structure: (a) program dynamics and psychological safety, (b) diversity, equity, and inclusion, (c) peer support, and (d) resources. Of these factors, graduate students rated peer support most favorably and diversity, equity, and inclusion as most lacking, indicating a continuing need for programs to provide opportunities and training to engage in program and individual accountability as they relate to social justice issues. Implications for graduate student and faculty advocacy to improve climate in school psychology graduate programs are provided.

"Exhaustive but effective": A multi-site study investigating the profiles of teachers' emotions and emotional labor.

Wang H; Frenzel AC pubmed id: 40506181

The study looked at how teachers handle their emotions and how this affects their work. Teachers were grouped based on their emotional experiences: some were healthy and supportive, while others were not as healthy and got lower ratings from students. The study found that how teachers act with their emotions can have both good and bad effects.

Abstract

Teachers routinely experience and manage a variety of emotions to meet the requirements of their profession. Previous research has primarily focused on how teachers' emotions or their emotional labor affects their well-being and teaching quality. The present study takes a more holistic, person-centered approach to identify groups of teachers with distinct emotional experiences and emotional labor tendencies. In the first study, 474 Canadian secondary school teachers (female: 72.5%) were categorized into three profiles: emotionally healthy deep actors, emotionally healthy surface actors, and emotionally unhealthy surface actors. The emotionally healthy deep actors reported the highest levels of well-being, while the emotionally unhealthy surface actors reported the lowest. The same profiles were observed in Study 2 with 85 German secondary school teachers (female: 57.6%). Among these teachers, the emotionally healthy surface actors were rated by students as the most supportive (N = 1327). Conversely, the emotionally unhealthy surface actors received the least favorable student ratings of teaching quality (cognitive activation, classroom management, student support). In conclusion, our study indicates that emotional labor, specifically surface acting, has a double-edged function, with both positive and negative implications. On the one hand, it is linked to diminished well-being among teachers, while on the other hand, it has the potential to enhance students' perceptions of teacher support.

An exploratory evaluation of universal social-emotional learning programs delivered during elementary school to Australian students.

Carpendale EJ; Green MJ; Dix KL; Tzoumakis S; Williams KE; White SLJ; Carr VJ; Laurens KR pubmed id: 40506177

This research looked at how Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs at Australian schools help kids around 11 to 12 years old with their social and emotional skills. The study found that SEL programs that are based on strong evidence and have clear teaching methods really help kids improve in areas like Self-Awareness and Relationship Skills, except Responsible Decision-Making. Programs that don't have strong evidence didn't show any real benefit.

Abstract

Whole-school Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programs demonstrate promise as an avenue for universally and equitably fostering student social and emotional wellbeing. This study used population data collected in 2015 to examine the association of Australian elementary (primary) school-based SEL programs with students' late middle childhood functioning (aged 11-12 years) on the five social-emotional competencies defined by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making). A total of 18,643 Year 6 students self-reported competencies on the Middle Childhood Survey-Social-Emotional Learning, and 569 school leaders reported on delivery of SEL to these students via the Survey of School Promotion of Emotional and Social Health. Multi-level regression, accounting for school clustering, compared competency levels among students who did and did not receive SEL at school. Secondary analyses determined the strength of effects for students receiving programs with a high-quality evidence base, for programs supported by little or no empirical evidence, and for evidence-based SEL programs that provided a high degree of explicit teaching (i.e., structured teaching and skills practice) of the targeted social-emotional competencies, each relative to students receiving no SEL programs. Positive significant effects of SEL were observed on four of five competencies (excluding Responsible Decision-Making), with effects being strongest for empirically-evidenced SEL programs that provided explicit teaching of the targeted competency. No significant effects of under-evidenced programs were observed. This novel, population-level evaluation demonstrates the universal benefit of evidence-based SEL programs in supporting elementary school students' development of social-emotional competencies.

A complex dynamic systems perspective on the roles of culture, context, and identity in psychoeducational interventions.

Kaplan A; Garner JK; Whitney S pubmed id: 40506174

This paper talks about using a new way to look at teaching and learning that considers how different things like culture and identity affect students and teachers. The authors suggest using a method that sees these effects as changing and connected to each person's situation, and they share a model to help understand these ideas better.

×

Abstract

In this paper, we apply a Complex Dynamic Systems (CDS) perspective to reconsider current causal assumptions about educational contexts and the roles of culture, context, and identity in psychoeducational interventions. Focusing on phenomena such as teachers' and students' engagement, motivation, development, and wellbeing, we emphasize the phenomenon's conceptual unit-of-analysis for interventions as "the agent(s) in their authentic lived environment." Different from assumptions about causality in prevalent approaches to designing and evaluating interventions (e.g., RCT) as cross-contextual, independent, and mostly linear, a CDS perspective affords accounting for contextual and treatment-related heterogeneity and dynamism by viewing causal processes as emergent, non-deterministic, and changing due to factors' inter-dependence, shifting stability, and contextual embeddedness. We describe a CDS model of culturally and contextually based identity, motivation, and action-the Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity (DSMRI)-to illustrate the application of CDS to psychoeducational interventions. We exemplify this perspective's implications for designing and evaluating psychoeducational interventions as design-based case studies that ground analyses at the unit-of-analysis of the "agent(s)-in-context."

Researchers studied the Early Adolescent Coping Power (EACP) Program, which helps middle school kids handle feelings better. They found it helped reduce aggressive behaviors, especially for girls. Overall, it improved students' mental health during 7th grade.

Abstract

We report findings from a 40 middle school randomized controlled trial of an adapted version of Coping Power (Lochman & Wells, 2002a) for middle schoolers, called the Early Adolescent Coping Power (EACP) Program (Bradshaw et al., 2019) to determine the impact of EACP on adolescents' mental health outcomes, as indicated by student self-reported and teacher-ratings on the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC). The EACP was implemented over the course of students' 7th grade school year. The sample included 709 students who were identified at baseline through a teacher screening process for aggressive behavior and enrolled into the project (69.8 % African American and 59.4 % male). For teacher-reported outcomes, intent to treat (ITT) results indicated that EACP was associated with a decrease in externalizing problems over time. Exploration of effect modification suggested that girls in the EACP condition demonstrated statistically significant decreases in school problems over time, as well as a baseline by intervention effect whereby students and schools with greater baseline difficulties demonstrated decreased internalizing problems over time. For student-reported outcomes, there was a significant moderated effect, whereby girls in EACP demonstrated more favorable self-reported personal adjustment outcomes. Together, these results suggest that the early adolescent adaptation of Coping Power had preventive effects for 7th grade participants, and promotive effects specifically for girls, over time.

A meta-analysis of the effects of academic interventions on academic and academic anxiety outcomes in secondary students.

Fishstrom S; Capin P; Bhat BH; Dahl-Leonard K; Payne B; Wang HH; Dille J; Vaughn S pubmed id: 40506165

The study looked at helping students do better in school and feel less worried about schoolwork. They found that these programs help students do better in school but don't help with worry about schoolwork. The study also said that we might need different ways to help with school anxiety.

×

Abstract

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the effects of academic interventions on academic achievement and academic anxiety outcomes among secondary students. A systematic search yielded 19 studies comprising 2377 participants from research conducted between 1990 and 2020. Results revealed statistically significant differences favoring academic treatments over the control on academic outcomes (g = 0.66, SE = 0.17) but no statistically significant benefits for academic anxiety outcomes (g = -0.13, SE = 0.11). Moderator analysis revealed that the domain focus of the intervention (i.e., math, literacy, or science) did not explain the variance in student outcomes in either achievement or anxiety. The findings from this study corroborate previous research with elementary students, which found that academic interventions improve academic outcomes but do not substantially reduce academic anxiety. These findings suggested that academic anxiety may need to be addressed directly. However, the authors caution against drawing strong conclusions due to the limited research in this area.

Bystanders tend to defend victims in a supportive classroom climate: A cluster randomized control trial and an observational study.

Cheon SH; Reeve J; Yoo KE; Song YG; Marsh HW; Jang HR; Lee Y pubmed id: 40506163

When teachers make classrooms feel supportive and not controlling, students are more likely to help stop bullying rather than just watch or encourage it. The study showed that this positive classroom feeling leads to more students standing up for others and fewer students just standing by or supporting the bully.

×

Abstract

When bystanders reinforce bullies, bullying tends to escalate; when bystanders defend victims, bullying tends to de-escalate. Recognizing this pattern, we adopted a social-ecological perspective within a self-determination theory framework to conduct two studies. Study 1 was a pre-registered cluster randomized control trial in which 38 Korean secondary teachers (9 females, 29 males; 19 experimental, 19 control) participated in an intervention to learn how to teach in highly autonomy-supportive and not-at-all controlling ways. We hypothesized that this approach to teaching would create a supportive peer-to-peer classroom climate, which in turn would increase defending- and decrease passive- and reinforcing-bystanding. In three waves over an academic year, 1084 adolescent students (490 females, 594 males) reported their classroom climate and bystanding behaviors. According to a doubly latent multilevel SEM analysis, experimental group teachers created a more supportive climate (Β = 0.55, p < .001) and this classroom-level effect increased defending-bystanding (Β = 0.55, p = .001), decreased passive-bystanding (Β = -0.52, p < .001), and decreased reinforcing-bystanding (Β = -0.40, p = .006). Study 2 was a correlational study in which 629 adolescent students (398 females, 231 males) reported on their teacher's autonomy-supportive and controlling motivating styles and the 11 teachers (four females, seven males) rated each student on the three bystanding behaviors and the extent to which they contributed to two dimensions of classroom climate (i.e., supportive and conflictual). A SEM analysis showed that students' perceived autonomy-supportive teaching predicted teacher-rated supportive climate (Β = 0.23, p = .036) and students' perceived controlling teaching predicted teacher-rated conflictual climate (Β = 0.11, p = .041). According to mediation analyses, supportive climate ratings then predicted teacher-rated high defending (Β = 0.28, p = .006) and low passive (Β = -0.29, p < .001) bystander behavior, whereas conflictual climate ratings predicted teacher-rated low defending (Β = -0.22, p = .008) and high passive (Β = 0.26, p = .001) and high reinforcing (Β = 0.37, p < .001) bystander behavior. We conclude that teachers can learn how to create a supportive climate that orients students toward defending and away from passive and reinforcing bystanding.

Differentiated analysis of charismatic leadership personality traits among grassroots managers in universities under the "Double First-Class" initiative.

Liang QQ; Liu L; Yin F pubmed id: 40510939

Researchers used surveys to study charisma in managers at Chang'an University. They found that understanding one's own needs is the top trait, and women see leaders' ability to plan and care more than men do. Younger leaders and those with big teams show strong planning and caring traits.

×

Abstract

This study employs a dual methodology of literature review and questionnaire surveys using the Charismatic Leadership Questionnaire (C-K Scale) to explore the fundamental aspects of charismatic personality traits among 322 grassroots managers across various departments at Chang'an University. The research aims to identify the charismatic personality traits that university grassroots managers should exhibit in the context of the "Double First-Class" initiative. Key findings include: (1) The most significant charismatic leadership trait exhibited by grassroots leaders in universities is their focus on and understanding of their own needs. This is followed by their ability to articulate organizational strategic visions and their sensitivity to internal and external objective environments; (2) Female employees tend to perceive the leader's charisma more in the dimensions of Strategic Vision Articulation (SVA) and Sensitivity to Member Needs (SMN) compared to male employees. Conversely, male employees are more likely to recognize the leader's charisma in the Personal Risk (PR) dimension; (3) Male leaders are more inclined than female leaders to demonstrate the personality traits of Personal Risk (PR) and Unconventional Behavior (UB); (4) Leaders aged 30 and below exhibit the most significant behavioral traits in Strategic Vision Articulation (SVA), Self-Efficacy (SE), and Sensitivity to Member Needs (SMN); (5) With an increase in the scope of management, leaders demonstrate more prominent behavioral traits in the Strategic Vision Articulation (SVA) dimension. Leaders overseeing 8-15 people exhibit the most pronounced behavioral traits in the Sensitivity to Member Needs (SMN) dimension. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the nuanced aspects of charismatic leadership among grassroots managers in academic institutions. It provides insights into how these traits align with the objectives of the "Double First-Class" initiative, offering valuable references for enhancing the leadership capabilities of grassroots managers in universities.

Abstract

Nonstandard work schedules are prevalent across the industrialized world. While prior research indicates nonstandard work schedules lead to poor mental health, little research has explored the psychosocial pathways underlying the association between work schedule and mental health. This study aimed to fill this gap by testing for the mediating roles of perceived work stress, perceived work-family conflict and perceived job satisfaction in the association between nonstandard work schedules and employees' self-rated mental health.

Inflammation and depression: an evolutionary framework for the role of physical activity and exercise.

Carrera-Bastos P; Bottino B; Stults-Kolehmainen M; Schuch FB; Mata-Ordoñez F; Müller PT; Blanco JR; Boullosa D pubmed id: 40510937

Depression affects many people around the world, and it can be linked to inflammation caused by things like bad eating habits and not exercising enough. Exercise can help reduce this inflammation and improve depression. The paper also talks about the problem of doing too much exercise and provides ideas for using exercise to help prevent depression.

×

Abstract

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading global health challenge, affecting nearly 5% of the population. Mounting evidence suggests that systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI) plays a central role in the development and progression of MDD. This persistent inflammatory state results from unresolved immune activation and sustained exposure to modern lifestyle factors, such as sedentary behavior, poor diet, inadequate sleep, and psychological stress. Regular physical activity (PA), particularly exercise, has been shown to modulate inflammatory processes and improve depressive symptoms. This narrative review examines the complex interactions between inflammation and MDD, focusing on the role of PA and exercise in mitigating SLGCI and neuroinflammation. This is approached through an evolutionary lens, exploring how the mismatch between ancestral and modern activity levels may contribute to the rise of MDD. In addition, it highlights the potential risks of excessive exercise, including overtraining and its association with depressive symptoms. Finally, this work proposes a practical framework for optimizing PA and exercise as preventive and therapeutic tools for MDD by aligning modern PA patterns with ancestral behavioral norms.

Bystander interventions against gender-based violence and harassment in the workplace: a scoping review.

Nielsen KS; Hansen M; Mikkelsen EG pubmed id: 40510934

Bystander intervention programs help stop bad behavior like gender-based violence at work. These programs train people to speak up when they see something wrong. More research is needed to see how these programs can work better over time.

×

Abstract

Gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) has detrimental effects on organisational performance and employee well-being. Primary-level bystander intervention programmes that enable employees to act when witnessing GBVH offer a promising prevention strategy. Despite the increased focus on the importance of primary-level bystander interventions, limited efforts have been made to systematically synthesise research in this area. The present scoping review therefore sought to consolidate research on primary-level bystander interventions implemented in organisations by exploring the theoretical frameworks used to develop these interventions, determining outcomes, and examining facilitators and obstacles for their implementation. Five databases [Embase (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (Ovid)], and grey literature were systematically searched. Out of 11.302 references screened, 14 studies were included in the present scoping review. Findings suggest that primary-level bystander interventions, particularly bystander training workshops incorporating practice exercises, can increase prosocial bystander behaviour. However, the paucity of follow-up measurements makes it challenging to evaluate their long-term efficacy. The included studies underscore the importance of tailoring interventions to specific workplace contexts. While comprehensive program theories underpin most studies, organisational change theories were typically absent, even when interventions aimed to achieve cultural change. In conclusion, this review emphasises the significance of bystander interventions for primary GBVH prevention and underscores the need for further research to identify optimal practices and ensure enduring effectiveness.

Abstract

Current guidelines recommend trauma-focused therapies for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unfortunately, the percentage of non-response and dropout with these forms of therapy has proven to be substantial. Trauma-focused therapies offered in a highly intensive format have been found to lead to higher adherence and faster symptom reduction, but no studies so far have investigated Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) in an intensive programme. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a 10-day highly intensive inpatient treatment programme consisting of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Art Therapy (AT) and trauma sensitive yoga (TSY) for patients with severe, chronic PTSD.

Abstract

Globally, there is an increasing emphasis on mental health, particularly its role in the recovery of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Although previous studies have shown that perceived social support (PSS), mental health literacy (MHL), perceived stress and sleep quality are significantly related, the interaction mechanism remains unclear.

Abstract

Based on the Theory of Motivated Information Management (TMIM), this study examines how undergraduates manage information related to post-graduation pathways, with a particular focus on their interactions with teachers, family, and friends. In addition, it explores how individuals perceive and process information in uncertain situations, specifically examining undergraduates' behaviors and decision-making regarding employment and further education. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the decision-making processes of students facing graduation choices, particularly in terms of information management. It addresses a gap in the application of the TMIM model within the context of college graduation anxiety research, assessing its suitability as a decision-making model for information seeking related to graduation anxiety. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the TMIM framework in predicting information-seeking strategies, thereby supporting various application scenarios of information-seeking models for undergraduates.

To share or hide under performance pressure: the role of supervisor support in shaping subordinate knowledge management behaviors.

Xu J; Chen J; Lan Q; Zhao M pubmed id: 40497117

Sometimes, when workers feel pressured to perform well, they hide what they know instead of sharing it, which can hurt the company. This study looks at how support from bosses might change whether workers decide to share or hide their knowledge.

×

Abstract

While knowledge sharing is widely acknowledged as a critical driver of organizational learning and development, employees may engage in knowledge hiding-particularly under performance-related pressure. This behavior can impede organizational growth, underscoring the need to understand the boundary conditions that determine whether performance pressure leads to knowledge sharing or knowledge hiding. Grounded in conservation of resources theory, this study proposes a dual-path model that examines how perceived supervisor support moderates the effects of employee performance pressure on knowledge management behaviors.

Relationship between growth mindset and competitive motivation: a moderated parallel mediation model and feature importance analysis.

Deng J; Wang Z; Chen H; Song B pubmed id: 40497116

The study looks at how having a growth mindset helps university athletes stay motivated in sports. It found that athletes with a growth mindset handle stress better and feel more satisfied, which keeps them motivated. The benefits are even stronger for top athletes compared to others.

×

Abstract

While growth mindset theory has been extensively studied in education, its influence on competitive motivation in sports contexts remains less understood. This study investigates how growth mindset (GM) affects competitive motivation (CM) among university athletes through stress response (SR) and basic psychological need satisfaction (BNS), with elite athlete status as a moderator. Analysis of data from 490 university athletes (250 elite, 240 non-elite) in Guangzhou revealed that GM positively relates to CM, partially mediated by reduced SR and increased BNS. Remarkably, elite athlete status demonstrated substantially stronger effects on these mediating pathways than GM itself, with elite athletes showing enhanced benefits from GM compared to non-elite peers. Feature importance analysis further identified dimension-specific predictors across different motivational aspects: autonomy most strongly predicted social recognition motivation, GM primarily influenced athletic ability improvement, while environmental factors and competition losses differentially affected entertainment and effort orientations. These findings expand GM applications in competitive sports and suggest that psychological interventions might yield stronger effects for elite athletes, highlighting the critical interplay between athletic development level and psychological factors in CM.

Interacting with fallible AI: is distrust helpful when receiving AI misclassifications?

Peters TM; Scharlau I pubmed id: 40497113

This study looked at how people trust or don't trust advice from artificial intelligence (AI) when the advice quality got worse. They found that telling people to be skeptical did not make them do better, but actually worse. They also found that as the AI's advice got worse, people trusted it more, not less.

×

Abstract

Due to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in high-risk domains such as law and medicine, trustworthy AI and trust in AI are increasingly relevant to science and the public. A typical conception, for example, in the context of medical diagnosis, is that a knowledgeable user receives AI-generated classifications as advice. Research to improve such interactions often aims to foster users' trust, which, in turn, should improve combined human-AI performance. Given that AI models can err, we argue that the possibility of critically reviewing and thus distrusting an AI decision is an equally interesting target for research. We created two image classification scenarios in which participants received mock-up AI advice. The quality of the advice decreases during a phase of the experiment. We studied task performance, as well as participants' trust and distrust, and tested whether an instruction to remain skeptical and to review each piece of advice led to better performance compared to a neutral condition. Our results indicate that this instruction does not improve but rather worsens the participants' performance. Repeated single-item self-reports of trust and distrust indicate an increase in trust and a decrease in distrust following the decline in AI's classification quality, with no difference between the two instructions. Furthermore, through a Bayesian Signal Detection Theory analysis, we provide a procedure to assess appropriate reliance in detail by quantifying whether the issues of under- and over-reliance have been mitigated. We discuss the implications of our results for the usage of disclaimers before interacting with AI, as prominently used in current LLM-based chatbots, and for trust and distrust research.

The immediate and delayed effects of group activities on Chinese college students' empathy: a longitudinal tracking study.

Xu C; Gong W; Ye JH; Fu F pubmed id: 40497112

The study looked at college students and found that group activities helped them become more empathetic, which means they could understand and care about others' feelings better. The activities worked well right away, but the effects slowly got smaller over time. However, understanding empathy still stayed higher for a while, showing it's important to keep helping students build empathy to reduce bullying at school.

×

Abstract

Although the role of empathy in reducing campus bullying has been receiving increasing attention, empirical research on the development of empathy and its delayed effects among college students is lacking. To examine the immediate and delayed effects of group activities on increases in empathy among college students, this study randomly assigned 90 first-year students from a Chinese university into control, intervention, and delayed intervention groups. The groups with interventions participated in multiple sessions of counselling activities, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C scale was used as a pre-test, post-test, and re-test measure to assess empathy levels in each group. Additionally, interview transcripts were employed to verify the effectiveness of the study. The results showed that group activities were significantly effective in enhancing the level of empathy among college students. Furthermore, the effect of group activities in enhancing empathy levels among college students tended to diminish over time but was maintained at a relatively high level for a certain period. This finding reveals that the development of empathy requires ongoing attention and support. Future studies could further explore the effects of different types of interventions on empathy levels, and the durability and stability of delayed intervention effects can be investigated in long-term follow-up studies. These findings will contribute to the development of more effective strategies for preventing and intervening in campus bullying, thereby providing theoretical and practical support for more harmonious campus environments.

Abstract

Levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma-related distress, and subsyndromal PTSD, (here "PTS") among combat soldiers and first responders are of international concern. In the broader population, a PTS global epidemic is attending trauma associated with the threatscape of the Anthropocene (increased extreme weather events, natural disasters, conflict, rising poverty, emerging infectious disease) as well as the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic. PTS is also a health economic burden, with costs associated with treatment, long-term morbidity, and increased risk of mortality. In the Pacific region, rising PTS is associated with the existential threat of climate change and the economic and social legacy of colonization. There is an unmet therapeutic need for improved and culturally aligned PTS therapies in the Pacific and beyond. Medical standards of care for anxiety/PTS typically involve psychotropic interventions such as benzodiazepines (BDZ), tricyclic anti-depressants and anti-psychotic medications which have addictive potential, are only effective in the short term, are contraindicated for key populations such as the elderly and have significantly problematic track records in indigenous populations. Moreover, systemic racism both drives PTS in indigenous and other marginalized populations and limits the efficacy in such populations of conventional PTS therapies which are not culturally relevant or informed. Here, we describe the development of a novel, but traditionally grounded, approach to PTSD symptomatology in the context of Pacific populations. This approach has two elements: kava is a culturally significant Pacific drink used traditionally and in cultural practice, as a relaxant, to promote dialog in group settings, to aid in sleep and to manage anxiety. Its anxiolytic and sedative properties may link to the presence of kavalactones which are putative low potency γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ligands. is a dialog practice common to most Pacific cultures. Our core hypothesis is that, combined, kava- will outperform current standards of care in PTSD symptom management as a culturally augmented cognitive-behavioral group therapy intervention. In this paper we review supporting literature, describe kava- pilot study findings and planned clinical trials, discuss important open questions, and present recommendations for broad-based transcultural applicability of this approach to global PTS burdens.

Household chaos and preschool migrant children's self-regulation: the mediating role of parent-child conflict and the moderating role of mindful parenting.

Zhu H; Shu L; Wang X; Xu Z pubmed id: 40497109

Household chaos can make it harder for young children to learn to control their feelings and actions. Fighting between parents and kids makes things worse, but parents who stay calm and mindful can help make things better. It’s important to have a peaceful home and good parent-child relationships for kids to grow and learn well.

×

Abstract

Self-regulation is a foundational ability for children's learning and socioemotional development. Household chaos, as an unavoidable physical environmental risk in the early growth environment of preschool migrant children, may significantly threaten the development of children's self-regulation. Therefore, this study, based on the Family Stress Model and the Risk-Protective Factor Model, explores how household chaos affects the self-regulation of preschool migrant children through parent-child conflict and how mindful parenting moderates this relationship. Nine hundred and forty Chinese preschool migrant children and their families participated in this study. The results indicated that after controlling for factors including gender, age, and family socioeconomic status, household chaos was significantly negatively associated with children's self-regulation ability. Parent-child conflict mediated the relationship between household chaos and the self-regulation of preschool migrant children. At the same time, mindful parenting modified the adverse effects of parent-child conflict on self-regulation, but as the level of parent-child conflict increased, its protective effect gradually decreased. These results suggest that household chaos and parent-child conflict are important risks for the early development of self-regulation in preschool migrant children. In addition, mindful parenting reduced the tension arising from parent-child conflict. These findings underscores the importance of addressing environmental stressors and promoting positive parent-child relationship in early childhood. Moreover, the results provide important implications for both practice and research.

Abstract

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by a distorted self-image, an intense desire for weight loss, anxiety, and strict dieting. The disorder primarily affects children, adolescents, and young adults. It leads to serious health consequences and increases the risk of depression, suicidal thoughts, and addiction. The causes of the disorder are multifactorial, including genetic influences, social pressures, and emotional problems. Eating disorders are now considered a serious public health problem that requires special supervision by specialists and the development of long-term measures to reduce their incidence.

Abstract

By analyzing cross-sectional data from 2,078 college students, this study aims to explore the impact of mental health literacy on Chinese college students' professional psychological help-seeking attitudes and to test the chained mediation role of anxiety and depression. Results show that mental health literacy significantly positively predicts professional psychological help-seeking attitudes. Anxiety and depression exhibit partial mediation effects, forming a chained mediation pathway, suggesting mental health literacy indirectly reduces depression by alleviating anxiety, enhancing professional psychological help-seeking attitudes. This study reveals the chained mechanism between anxiety and depression, addressing previous neglect of emotional factors, and highlights the core role of practical dimensions in mental health literacy. It is suggested that universities incorporate mental health literacy training into curricula, strengthen practical skill development, and design interventions for emotion regulation to disrupt the negative cycle of anxiety-depression. This study provides a theoretical basis and targeted strategies for optimizing psychological services for college students.

The impact of teacher punishment intensity on parental trust in rural China: an experimental examination of a moderated mediation model.

Qi C; Guo J; Liu Y; Zhang Z; Zhao G pubmed id: 40497103

The study shows that when teachers use punishment to help students learn from their mistakes, it can make parents trust them more. Parents feel this way especially when the punishment is fair and matches the seriousness of what the student did wrong. This research helps teachers understand how to build trust with parents by dealing with student behavior properly.

×

Abstract

Pedagogical punishment refers to the educational behavior carried out by teachers to manage, instruct or correct students who violate rules, so as to promote the healthy development of students. In home-school partnerships, parents determine their level of trust in educators based on pedagogical punishment. Preliminary empirical evidence indicates that the punishment intensity impacts parents' interpersonal trust, though the causal pathways remain to be elucidated. Utilizing a situational experimental design with 462 rural Chinese guardians (234 females, mean age is 40.86 years), this research establishes a causal relationship between pedagogical punishment intensity and parental trust. The analysis further evaluates trustworthiness perception as a mediator and student violation severity as a moderating variable. The findings demonstrate that teacher punishment not only directly strengthens parental trust but also indirectly increases it through perceived trustworthiness. Notably, the severity of student misconduct moderates the relationship between punishment intensity and parental trust, indicating that rigorous punishment behaviors in response to severe violations foster heightened perceived trustworthiness relative to less stringent interventions. This study offers critical insights to education professionals on the rationale and strategies for implementing appropriate punishment practices, thereby enhancing parental trust in educators.

Abstract

In the last decade, mindfulness-based programs have been assimilated among educational staff to cultivate socio-emotional skills and mental resilience. Most mindfulness programs use generic international models, omitting explicit acknowledgement of cultural and ethnic differences. Recent research highlights the importance of considering participants' identities and diverse cultural and religious needs. The first aim of the current study is to explore whether mindfulness affects psychological well-being among Orthodox Jewish teachers. Additionally, the study examined the relationship between mindfulness as a personality trait and psychological well-being and resilience among Orthodox Jewish teachers. The second aim is to examine whether there is a tension in practicing mindfulness among participants who are Orthodox educators, and whether there is a need for cultural adaptations for religious populations to increase the effectiveness of the program.

Supplementary approaches to perinatal depression: a review of pathogenesis, herbal interventions, and dietary supplements.

Yang Q; Lv Y; Gao S; Zhang Y; Zhai X pubmed id: 40491948

Some moms feel sad after having a baby, and it's hard to find safe medicine for them, especially if they are breastfeeding. People sometimes think natural remedies are always safe, but that's not always true. Scientists are studying how our body and brain might cause this sadness and are looking at plants and vitamins to help, but they still need to do more tests to be sure they work and are safe.

×

Abstract

Although perinatal depression (PND) has garnered increasing attention, few specific pharmacological treatments exist, particularly for breastfeeding mothers concerned about antidepressant safety. The misconception that "natural is harmless" merits caution; herbal remedies and dietary supplements should be regarded as supplementary interventions pending robust safety evidence. This review summarizes recent advances in PND pathogenesis (neurotransmitter dysregulation, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and microbiota alterations) and emerging drug development strategies, alongside clinical evidence for herbal and dietary supplements. Randomized controlled trial (RCT) findings reveal that while interventions like saffron and vitamin D show promise, significant limitations persist, including inconsistent efficacy, limited long-term safety data, and potential interactions with perinatal physiology. Caution is warranted until comprehensive studies validate the safety and reliability of natural interventions. This review underscores the need for rigorous trials to identify safe, effective PND treatments, particularly for vulnerable populations.

A case study on developing students' problem-solving skills through interdisciplinary thematic learning.

Zhang C; Wang P; Zeng X; Wang X pubmed id: 40491947

Interdisciplinary thematic learning helps kids solve real-world problems by using different subjects together, unlike usual teaching where subjects are separate. A study with middle school students in China found that using students' backgrounds, school resources, and social environment can help improve their problem-solving skills. To learn more, future studies could involve different methods like digital tools and teacher help.

×

Abstract

Interdisciplinary thematic learning, driven by thematic tasks and real-world problems, is an effective vehicle for cultivating students' problem-solving skills and individual development. However, traditional subject-based teaching has long compartmentalized knowledge into discrete academic disciplines, diverging from the nature of real-world problems and their solutions. Although interdisciplinary thematic learning aims at developing students' key abilities for future life, few empirical studies have examined whether interdisciplinary thematic learning has developed Chinese students' problem-solving skills during the compulsory education phase. Moreover, interdisciplinary thematic learning fully develops and makes use of school subject resource, which plays an important role in developing students' problem-solving ability, but ignores the influence of student foundation and social environment and other factors. This study investigates the development of problem-solving skills among 47 middle school students from a compulsory education institution in Sichuan Province mainly adopts interview, observation and case study. The findings indicated that the process of interdisciplinary thematic learning includes three-dimensional support composed of students' foundation, subject resources and social environment, which jointly support the development of interdisciplinary thematic learning, thus realizing the development of students' problem-solving ability. In the future, while continuing the advantages of multi-case studies, we should jointly carry out single-case and quasi-experimental design study to explore the depth of the study. In addition, it is necessary to consider teacher guidance, digital technology and computing thinking skills when choosing research perspectives in the future. From this, more conclusive and comprehensive conclusions and suggestions are put forward.

Grit and perceived teacher support associations with Chinese language achievement: the mediating role of emotion in Thai high school Chinese classrooms.

Pan L; Li X; He X; Luo H; Gu Q pubmed id: 40491946

Many students around the world, including in Thailand, are now learning Chinese in school. However, some students aren't very interested, so they don't get very good at it. This study looks at how students' determination and their feelings about learning, along with how much their teachers support them, can help them do better in learning Chinese.

Abstract

Chinese language learning is gaining considerable attention from learners worldwide, leading many countries, including Thailand, to make it a mandatory subject in primary and secondary education. However, many Chinese learners lack interest in learning Chinese, resulting in inadequate Chinese language proficiency. Chinese language learners' grit and emotional commitment to Chinese language learning are key factors in determining their language learning success, and the support of Chinese as a Foreign Language teachers is also crucial in this process. Thus, this cross-sectional study investigates the associations of students' grit and perceived teacher support with their Chinese language achievement while considering the potential mediating role of emotions (enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom).

The effect of unintelligible speech noise on children's verbal working memory performance.

Spicciarelli G; Gheller F; Celli M; Arfé B pubmed id: 40491944

Classroom noise from lots of people talking makes it hard for kids to remember things when reading and writing. The study found that when there's a lot of background chatter, kids have a tougher time with complex memory tasks, even if it doesn't seem to affect their simpler tasks as much. Kids also said they tried harder when it was noisy, even though their performance didn't always change.

×

Abstract

Classroom noise, particularly speech noise from students, appears to disrupt verbal working memory processes essential for learning tasks such as reading and writing. Such negative interference has been alternatively explained as either the effect of phonological intrusion from speech noise into the phonological loop processes of working memory or the diversion of general attentional resources away from working memory processes. These effects have been studied primarily in relation to intelligible speech, while the impact of unintelligible speech, such as multitalker babble-a common source of noise in schools-has received less attention. The present study aimed to examine the effects of unintelligible multitalker babble noise on the performance of 38 students aged 8 to 10 years in low (Digit Span) and high demanding (Reading Span) verbal working memory tasks. We examined whether the effects of multitalker babble noise differed based on children's age and their visual attentional resources. Verbal working memory and visual attentional skills were assessed in quiet and multitalker babble noise across three age groups: 8, 9, and 10 years. Our findings revealed that multitalker babble noise disrupts significantly verbal working memory performance in complex verbal working memory tasks, like the Reading Span task, but has minimal impact on low demanding tasks, like Digit Span Forward and Backward. Although children's visual attentional skills significantly contributed to their verbal working memory performance, they alone cannot explain the negative effect of multitalker babble noise. Interestingly, although children's behavioral performance did not significantly differ across acoustic conditions for most tasks, they reported higher cognitive effort in noisy environments. This highlights a discrepancy between perceived effort and actual performance, emphasizing the importance of integrating multiple measures to assess the impact of noise on cognitive processes.

Older people who live alone in cities have a hard time staying happy, especially as cities grow quickly and change. Smart technology could help them stay healthy and happy, but these older adults often find it hard to use. The study suggests making these smart tools easier to use and more focused on their needs to help improve their lives.

Abstract

Older people living alone (OPLA) face significant challenges in maintaining emotional well-being, especially in the context of rapid urbanization and social change. Smart products are increasingly viewed as promising tools to support healthy and independent aging. This study explores the emotional needs of urban OPLA in Chengdu, China, and examines their perceptions and use of smart products as emotional support tools. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 OPLA aged 60 and above. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: (A) Emotional well-being of OPLA due to living alone, (B) Efforts to satisfy emotional needs, and (C) The use of smart products to satisfy emotional needs. While many older adults adopt self-regulatory strategies and express interest in technology, low motivation and usability barriers hinder their engagement with smart products. This study highlights the need for emotionally responsive, user-friendly, and culturally attuned smart technologies. The findings offer theoretical and practical insights into promoting smart aging through inclusive design and inform policies aimed at improving emotional well-being among older adults living alone.

Abstract

Classical music students, as a key group of professional ear users (PEUs), rely heavily on their auditory perception, making ear health critical to their education and careers. However, significant gaps in their knowledge of hearing health and protection have been previously identified, while data on non-noise-related risk factors and broader aspects of ear health remain scarce. This study aimed to evaluate classical music students' knowledge of ear health, including ear anatomy, common ear disorders, and non-noise-related risk factors such as ototoxic medications and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as attitudes toward specialized ear health care. The goal was to inform the development of tailored educational programs and evaluate the need for specialized ear health care in performing arts medicine.

Abstract

In the context of the emotional turn experienced in the world and in educational systems, this study undertook the task of examining the conceptions that pre-service teachers of first year have re-garding the role of emotions in educational processes. For this purpose, a dilemma questionnaire was applied to a sample of 72 first-year pre-service teachers from Chilean universities. The in-strument considered three types of conceptions called, in an increasing order of complexity, "behavioral reductionism," "influence of emotions on cognition" and "cognitive emotional in-tegration." The results show a rejection of the simplest and the most complex conception, and a large degree of adherence to the conception that separates emotions from cognitive processes, called "influence of emotions on education." There are analyzed the differences found according to the gender of the students and a reflection on the possibility that the adherence to dualistic con-ceptions could be a way of reacting to an education based on fear as the only driving force for learning.

False failures, real distrust: the impact of an infrastructure failure deepfake on government trust.

Ahmed S; Masood M; Bee AWT; Ichikawa K pubmed id: 40486894

Deepfakes can make people lose trust in the government, especially when they show things like a bridge collapsing. In the study, Americans who saw these fake videos were more likely to distrust the government, but this wasn't the same for people in Singapore. Education helped some people not lose trust as much when they saw deepfakes.

×

Abstract

Deepfakes today represent a novel threat that can induce widespread distrust more effectively than traditional disinformation due to its potential for greater susceptibility. In this study, we specifically test how individuals' exposure to deepfakes related to public infrastructure failures is linked to distrust in government, with their cognitive reflection and education possibly acting as a buffer. Using experimental data from the United States and Singapore, our findings indicate that exposure to deepfakes depicting a localized infrastructure failure, i.e., the collapse of a public bridge, heightens distrust in government among American participants but not Singaporeans. Additionally, education was found to be a significant moderator such that higher education levels is associated with lower political distrust when exposed to deepfakes. The role of deepfakes in influencing distrust in the government and the broader implications of these findings are discussed.
