摘要:
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of school-based mindfulness training on learning burnout of Chinese middle school students and the mediating role of psychological resilience between dispositional mindfulness and learning burnout. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with repeated measurement analysis, in which 62 Chinese middle school students in the experimental group received a 10-week school-based mindfulness training. In comparison, 63 students in the control group were randomized to receive no intervention. Learning burnout, dispositional mindfulness, and psychological resilience were measured by Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents, respectively. The results showed: (1) Compared with the experimental group's pre-test scores and the control group's pretest and posttest scores, the posttest scores of learning burnout in the experimental group significantly decreased. In contrast, the posttest scores of dispositional mindfulness and psychological resilience in the experimental group significantly increased. Meanwhile, the control group gained no significant changes between the pre-and posttest in learning burnout, dispositional mindfulness, and psychological resilience. (2) Dispositional mindfulness was positively related to psychological resilience, while dispositional mindfulness and psychological resilience were negatively associated with learning burnout. (3) The direct effect of dispositional mindfulness on learning burnout and the mediating effect of psychological resilience between dispositional mindfulness and learning burnout were significant. This study suggested that school-based mindfulness training distinctly improves dispositional mindfulness and psychological resilience and alleviates learning burnout in Chinese middle school students. Furthermore, psychological resilience plays a mediating role between dispositional mindfulness and learning burnout.
School-based mindfulness training is an effective intervention method to alleviate learning burnout of Chinese middle school students.
Dispositional mindfulness is a protective factor of learning burnout, and psychological resilience plays a mediating role between dispositional mindfulness and learning burnout.
School-based mindfulness training alleviates learning burnout by improving dispositional mindfulness and psychological resilience.

摘要:
This study aimed to explore the relationship between life events and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in college students, as well as the mediating effect of sleep disturbances and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). After excluding invalid questionnaires, 5,754 were retained, and the valid efficiency was 75.94%. The subjects were aged 16 to 29 years (M = 19.166; SD = 1.392), with 1,969 males (34.22%) and 3,785 females (65.78%). Life events, sleep disturbances, PLEs, and NSSI were assessed using standard scales. Data were analyzed by Pearson Correlation Analysis and bias-correction percentile Bootstrap method. The results show that (1) life events were significant positive predictors of NSSI, sleep disturbances, and PLEs; (2) sleep disturbances, PLEs, and the chain mediation between the two, were mediators between life events and NSSI. Life events are thus shown to be an important external factor influencing NSSI in university students, and this process is mediated through sleep disturbances, PLEs, and the chain between the two. Interventions for NSSI can therefore be made by improving college students' sleep quality and reducing PLEs.

摘要:
Functionality appreciation, as an important aspect of positive image, is associated with fewer body image disturbances, fewer disordered eating behaviors, and improved psychological well-being. However, it has been under-researched in Asian countries. The current work aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) among four Chinese samples of different ages, and further examine measurement invariance and differences of the FAS across gender and age groups. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) were conducted to examine the factorial structure of the FAS among four Chinese samples of different ages, including middle school adolescents (n = 894, Mage = 12.17years), high school adolescents (n = 1347, Mage = 15.07years), young adults (n = 473, Mage = 21.95years), and older adults (n = 313, Mage = 67.90years). The measurement invariance of the FAS across gender and age was examined. Internal consistency reliability and construct validity were evaluated. The FAS had a unidimensional structure and was invariant across gender and age groups. The FAS presented sound psychometric properties in all age groups by gender, with good internal consistency reliability [e.g., high Cronbach’s α values (.91 ~ .97)] and good construct validity (e.g., significant associations with body appreciation, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating). Moreover, group comparisons showed minimal gender differences in functionality appreciation. However, significant age differences were found in functionality appreciation, with older ages generally associated with higher functionality appreciation. Overall, findings suggest that theFAS is a sound instrument to be used in the Chinese context. Furthermore, functionality appreciation was found to be higher in older adults than adolescents or young adults, suggesting the potential important role of aging in functionality appreciation. Functionality appreciation, as a positive body image component emphasizing the appreciation on one’s body for what it can do, is associated with fewer body image disturbances, fewer disordered eating behaviors, and improved psychological well-being. The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) measures functionality appreciation and has been widely validated in a number of different populations. However, the psychometric properties of the FAS have not been systematically examined in the Chinese context, especially for adolescents and older adults. Results indicated that the psychometric properties of the FAS were sound and could be equally used to assess functionality appreciation in Chinese adolescents, young adults, and older adults.

摘要:
A longitudinal approach with Latent Growth Curve Modeling (LGCM) was adopted to explore the trajectories of appetitive traits corresponding to BMI in Chinese adolescents. Within a large sample of adolescents (N=2566, 45.9% boys) aged from 11 to 17 years (M = 13.80, SD = 1.56) at the baseline survey, our results indicated that appetitive traits of emotional overeating, food fussiness, and hunger increased significantly over time while enjoyment of food decreased over time. Slowness in eating and satiety responsiveness significantly increased in girls, while emotional undereating significantly decreased in boys. Moreover, the growth parameters of emotional undereating and satiety responsiveness were significantly and negatively related to BMI in girls. Our findings evidence that certain appetitive traits could change over time in adolescence and these changes relate to weight status. Gender differences are suggested in the design of future intervention and treatment of overweight/obesity in Chinese adolescents.
