In the field of educational psychology, it is crucial to explore the mental health of students within specific disciplines. In this research we targeted 469 college students majoring in music, delving into the interplay between their self‐esteem and social anxiety, and particularly analyzing whether fear of evaluation acts as a bridge between these two factors. The findings revealed a clear trend: lower self‐esteem was associated with higher levels of social anxiety, with fear of evaluation playing a key mediating role in this dynamic. This insight provides a perspective on how self‐esteem affects social anxiety among music students through the pathway of fear of evaluation. Educators and mental health professionals dedicated to student welfare should adopt a range of targeted intervention strategies aimed at boosting students’ self‐esteem as an effective means to alleviate their social anxiety.

Our aim was to understand students’ sense of school belonging as a function of their engagement with academics and their experiences of bullying. Due to the complex pattern of relationships, we applied linear and nonlinear models. Participants were 4,778 fourth graders from Saudi Arabia from the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study 2021 cohort. Data were analyzed using linear modeling as well as the cusp catastrophe. The results fully supported the premises of the cusp catastrophe model, in that level of bullying, in principle, had a negative impact on the development of school belonging, but once the level of bullying crossed a critical threshold, students’ sense of belonging became unpredictable and chaotic. Previous empirical studies found that the cusp model has significant predictive validity. We can conclude that bullying may act as a moderating factor that distorts relationships such as that between student engagement and school belonging.
我们的目的是了解学生的学校归属感是他们参与学术活动和遭受欺凌经历的函数。由于关系模式复杂，我们采用了线性和非线性模型。研究对象是沙特阿拉伯的 4778 名四年级学生，他们来自 "2021 年国际阅读能力研究进展"（Progress in International Reading Literacy Study 2021）。我们使用线性模型和顶点灾难对数据进行了分析。结果完全支持顶点灾难模型的前提，即欺凌程度原则上对学校归属感的发展有负面影响，但一旦欺凌程度超过临界阈值，学生的归属感就会变得不可预测和混乱。以往的实证研究发现，顶点模型具有显著的预测效力。我们可以得出结论，欺凌可能作为一种调节因素，扭曲了学生参与和学校归属感之间的关系。

We examined employeesâ–™ unethical pro-organizational behaviors (UPBs) during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our objectives were to determine the effects of job demands on UPBs and emotional exhaustion. We conducted a survey in three rounds with a sample of 339 employees in the financial industry in Taiwan, who were selected because they were in positions where they were unable to work from home during the pandemic. The results revealed that job demands and emotional exhaustion were associated with UPBs. This study sheds light on the challenges faced by frontline workers with specialized knowledge who were unable to work remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, and expands understanding of the antecedents of UPBs. Implications, limitations, and future research directions based on the findings are discussed.

Improvisation ability has become an important competency for employees to adapt to dynamic, volatile work environments. However, the effect of charismatic leadership style on the improvisation ability of employees is yet to be revealed. We used self‐determination theory and conservation of resources theory to explore the effect of charismatic leadership on employees’ improvisation ability, with job insecurity as a moderator and harmonious passion as a mediator. Our goal was to enrich research on leadership styles shaping employee behavior and employee competencies. We collected 267 valid questionnaires through the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform, and conducted model testing using SPSS 25.0. Results of empirical analysis showed that charismatic leadership positively affected employees’ improvisation ability. Employees’ harmonious work passion mediated the effect of charismatic leadership on employees’ improvisation abilities, and job insecurity played a moderating role in enhancing the positive effect of charismatic leadership on employees’ improvisation ability. We discuss the practical implications for how organizations can improve employees’ improvisation ability in a dynamic and changing internal and external environment.
即兴能力已成为员工适应动态多变工作环境的一项重要能力。然而，魅力型领导风格对员工临场应变能力的影响尚未被揭示。我们运用自我决定理论和资源保护理论，以工作不安全感为调节因素，以和谐激情为中介，探讨了魅力型领导对员工即兴能力的影响。我们的目标是丰富有关领导风格塑造员工行为和员工能力的研究。我们通过亚马逊 Mechanical Turk 平台收集了 267 份有效问卷，并使用 SPSS 25.0 进行了模型检验。实证分析的结果表明，魅力型领导对员工的随机应变能力有积极影响。员工和谐的工作激情是魅力型领导对员工即兴发挥能力影响的中介，而工作不安全感在增强魅力型领导对员工即兴发挥能力的正向影响方面起着调节作用。我们探讨了组织如何在动态变化的内外部环境中提高员工即兴能力的现实意义。

In the face of a rapidly changing consumer market, companies strive to innovate their products by either adopting a strategy of enhancement of attributes or focusing on uniqueness. Using the structural alignment model, we conducted two studies to investigate the influence of temporal landmarks on consumers’ diagnosticity of product attributes and the mediating role of creative self-efficacy in this link. Results indicated that consumers relied more on nonalignable (vs. alignable) attributes to evaluate a product when a start (vs. end) temporal landmark was activated. These findings have implications for marketing theory and companies’ product-communication strategies.

We investigated the impact of brand image on brand loyalty, and assessed the mediating role of brand experience in this relationship. The sample comprised 439 consumers in China. The results showed there was a significant positive correlation between brand image and brand loyalty. Additionally, brand experience played a mediating role in this relationship. Our research findings contribute to better understanding of the relationships between brand image, brand loyalty, and brand experience among consumers in China. These discoveries also offer practical insights for business operators seeking to enhance consumer brand loyalty. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

A significant challenge in the sports apparel market of South Korea is comprehending adolescents, who exhibit distinct consumption behavior, as a major consumer demographic. Thus, we systematically analyzed the pathways connecting adolescents’ perception of the quality attributes of sports apparel, purchase intention, and online word of mouth. We conducted a survey involving 254 students from three schools in South Korea. The findings showed that among the perceived attributes of sports apparel brands, quality demonstrated a positive impact on adolescents’ purchase intention. Further, purchase intention exerted a favorable influence on online word of mouth. Our findings offer insight into the consumer behavior of adolescents in the sports apparel realm.

It is a matter of public concern that the risk of nonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI) is high among vocational college students. The benefits and barriers model of NSSI considers childhood trauma an important vulnerability factor that influences NSSI through negative self‐schema. Therefore, exploration of possible protective factors is necessary to inform NSSI interventions. We investigated the potential protective function of Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity and whether negative self‐schema mediates the connection between childhood trauma and NSSI. Questionnaires were completed by 898 vocational college students aged 18â–“23 years. The results indicated that childhood trauma directly predicted NSSI and also indirectly predicted NSSI via negative self‐schema. Additionally, Chinese cultural beliefs about adversity, as a vulnerability protective factor, moderated the relationship between childhood trauma and NSSI (i.e., the first half of the mediation effect). Thus, a self‐schema and adversity belief-based intervention can help to prevent NSSI behavior among vocational college students.

The Range and Differentiation of Emotional Experience Scale (RDEES) is a useful assessment of individual differences in emotional complexity. We recruited 721 Chinese primary and middle school teachers to examine the psychometric properties of the RDEES for use with this population. The results supported a two-factor model, comprising the range of emotional experience and the differentiation of emotional experience. The Chinese version of the RDEES showed a significant correlation with the Chinese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale. Internal consistency coefficients ranged from .58–86 and test‐retest reliability ranged from .59â–“.66. Therefore, the Chinese version of the RDEES can be used for measuring emotional complexity in Chinese primary and middle school teachers.
