Online gaming has become a daily norm, leading to unique forms of game-bullying distinct from traditional cyberbullying due to its immersive nature and ranking systems. This study examined how game-bullying victimization (GBV) affects depression via self-esteem, moderated by resilience and the state of flow, among 359 Chinese MOBA (Multiplayer-online-battle-arena) gamers (30.7% female, mean age = 23.8 years, SD = 4.57 years). The analysis revealed a direct link between GBV and depression. Self-esteem mediates this relationship,…
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic introduced significant psychosocial stressors for morticians in South Africa, yet their coping mechanisms remain underexplored. This study investigated how South African morticians (N = 10, Black males) coped with these stressors during the pandemic through semi-structured interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) informed thematic analysis identified five themes: (i) death overload distress associated with trauma and fear of exposure; (ii) insomnia due to worry, workload, and fear of infection; (iii) stigmatisation
Drawing upon the Conservation of Resources theory, this study investigated the relationship between proactive personality and strengths use, as well as the mediating role of psychological safety and the moderating role of exploitative leadership within this relationship. Data were collected from 368 employees (females = 57.61%; mean age = 32.35; SD = 6.31) working in various organizations in China at two points in time with a two-week interval. We conducted structural equation modeling and a…
This study explored the relationship between perceived social support and employment anxiety among Chinese college students, as well as the mediating and moderating effects of psychological resilience and career adaptability on this relationship. A total of 1928 college students (females = 1371, mean age = 20.42, SD = 1.05) completed the Perceived Social Support Scale, Employment Anxiety Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. Mediation analysis results showed that psychological resilience mediated the relationship…
This study aimed to explore the mediating roles of self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation on the relationship between teacher autonomy and teacher job satisfaction. Data were from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018), with a sample of 3131 junior high school teachers (female = 2337; male = 794) from Shanghai, China. The mediating effect was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that teacher autonomy was positively associated with teacher job satisfaction, self-efficacy,
This study investigated the role of intentional self-regulation and the moderating role of peer relationship in the relationship between teacher-student relationship and learning engagement. The study sample comprised 540 Chinese senior secondary school students between the ages of 15–18 (51.67% boys; Mage = 16.56 years; SDage = 0.90). They completed surveys on the Teacher-Student Relationship Scale, the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) Scale, the Peer Relationship Scale for Children and Adolescents, and the Learning Engagement Scale.…
This study investigated the relationship between college students’ awe and depression, along with the mediating roles of future self-continuity and presence of meaning. 891 Chinese college students (570 female; mean age 18.59; SD 1.34) from one university completed four surveys: Dispositional Awe Subscale, Future self-continuity Scale, Meaning in Life Scale and Depression Scale. Using structural equation modelling and the bootstrap method, the results delineated that awe negatively related to depression, and future self-continuity and presence
Although numerous findings show that people experience both positive and negative experiences with regards to solitude, the relationship between solitude capacity and emotional experience remains unclear. The current study investigated the extent to which emotion regulation may play a suppressive role in the relationship between solitude capacity and emotional experience. Questionnaires on solitude capacity, emotion regulation, and emotional experience were completed by a sample of Chinese college students (n = 844; 432 females; Meanage = 19.79…
This study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine how the social support received by teachers is associated with their work pay fairness perception in relation to their job satisfaction and job performance. Data were collected from 2411 preschool teachers in China (female = 98.01%; mean age = 29.12 years, SD = 6.28 years). These data were analyzed using structural equation modelling, bootstrapping and latent moderate structural equations. The results indicated that teachers’ perception of…
This longitudinal study investigated how self-management and learning burnout influences the relationship between habitual mobile phone use and subjective well-being among first-year university students. A sample of 1172 Chinese university students participated in a two-wave survey, with data collected six months apart at two time points (T1, T2). The results of Pearson correlation revealed that higher habitual mobile phone use at T1 was associated with lower subjective well-being at T2. Self-management was associated with healthy…
Employees’ innovative performance determines an organization’s innovation, which critically impacts its structural optimization and sustainability. Applying expectancy theory, we examined how and when the Pygmalion effect occurs in the relationship between leaders’ expectations of innovation and employee innovative behavior. Our sample comprised 201 frontline employees (female = 31.84%; mean age = 41.48 years, SD = 7.97 years) in a Chinese coal enterprise, who completed surveys on innovation expectations of leaders, expected positive performance outcomes, innovative…
While the relation between shyness and problematic social media use (PSMU) among adolescents has been established, the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this association remain largely unexplored. The present study examined whether psychological insecurity mediated the association between shyness and adolescents’ PSMU and whether this mediation was moderated by relational-interdependent self-construal (RISC). A total of 1506 Chinese adolescents (Mage = 13.74 years, SD = 0.98) filled out self-report measures of shyness, psychological insecurity, RISC, and PSMU.…
We examined the mediating effect of burnout and subjective well-being on the relationship between work-family conflict and learning capacity among college teachers. Using a cross-sectional study design, 422 Chinese college teachers (females = 57.3%, mean years of service = 35.56, SD = 6.38) completed the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (WFCQ), the Burnout Scale (BS), the Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and the Teacher Learning Capacity Evaluation Scale (TLCES). The results indicated that work-family conflict had a direct
This study examined how psychological meaningfulness moderates job complexity and work-family conflict in Nigerian secondary school teachers. This study included 1694 teachers from 17 Nigerian secondary schools (female = 69.54%, mean age = 33.19, SD = 6.44 years). The participants completed the Work-family Conflict Scale, Job Complexity Scale, and Psychological Meaningfulness Scale. Study design was cross-sectional. Hayes PROCESS macro analysis results indicate a higher work-family conflict with job complexity among the secondary school teachers. While…
This study examined the relationship between leader-employee calling congruence on employees’ voice behaviour. Participants were 173 leader-employee dyads from the Chinese service industry. They completed online surveys on calling, perceived insider status, and voice behaviour. Results from polynomial regression and response surface analysis showed that employees perceived insider status to be weaker with the low leader-low subordinate calling congruence, and stronger with high leader and high subordinate calling congruence. Employees perceived insider status is stronger
This study explored the mediating role of moral courage in the relationship between emotional intelligence and perceptions of patient safety competence among nursing students in clinical practice. The study sample comprised 220 nursing students from a teaching hospital (female = 93.6%; mean age = 20.64 years, SD = 1.78 years). Nursing students completed standardized measures of Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Moral Courage Scale, and the Health Professional Education in Patient Safety Survey. Following hierarchical regression
