This paper provides in-depth knowledge regarding the fundamental factors influencing college students’ childbearing intentions. We used PubMed, ProQuest Dissertations, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure to search for relevant articles published between January 1946 and April 2023. Among these, we incorporated 51 studies conducted in 20 countries into a quantitative synthesis. The results indicated that there were differences between developed and developing countries in terms of the factors influencing college students’ childbearing intentions. The primary factors affecting childbearing intentions in developed countries were fertility knowledge, personal pursuits, and partner relationships. However, the influencing factors in developing countries were more complex: Financial pressures and personal pursuits deterred college students from their aspirations to have children, and these challenges delayed their intended reproductive age. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Despite the growing interest in identifying psychological strengths that contribute to students’ psychological well‐being, the underlying mechanisms that students deploy specifically during college remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional survey to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between student‐faculty interaction and psychological well‐being among college students. Participants comprised 224 Chinese college students who completed self-report questionnaires. The results obtained from structural equation modelling indicated that resilience partially mediated the association between student‐faculty interaction and college students’ psychological well‐being. These findings contribute to understanding of the potential mechanism underlying the link between student‐faculty interaction and the psychological well‐being of college students, and provide new insight into potential strategies for strengthening these capabilities.

Physical exercise plays an important role in promoting college students’ mental health, but the mechanism of the effect of physical exercise on mental health is still under investigation. We conducted a survey with 1,168 Chinese college students using stratified cluster random sampling. Physical exercise, social‐emotional competency, peer relationships, and mental health were assessed by using standard scales. Physical exercise was found to be positively correlated with mental health. Social‐emotional competency and peer relationships had both independent and chain mediating effects on the link between physical exercise and mental health. These results reveal the mechanism of the relationship between physical exercise and mental health, and provide a preliminary basis for studying the causal relationship between them. Our findings also provide practical insights for intervention in and promotion of college students’ mental health.

We used social cognitive career theory to investigate the influence of college students’ entrepreneurship curriculum experience on their entrepreneurial intention, and constructed a theoretical model to explain its mechanism. We collected data from 293 Chinese college students by distributing questionnaires. Results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that entrepreneurship curriculum experience was positively related to entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self‐efficacy and outcome expectation entrepreneurship acting as mediators. Entrepreneurial self‐efficacy played the more significant mediating role of the two. In addition, we demonstrated through an exploratory factor analysis that gender had a close correlation with the influence of entrepreneurship curriculum experience on entrepreneurial intention, such that men scored significantly higher than women did on the dimensions of outcome expectation entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. Implications of the findings are discussed.

We explored the effect of occupational stigma on work engagement, basing our research on conservation of resources theory. Frontline hotel employees (N = 286) in China completed an online survey. Analysis of the results showed that occupational stigma was negatively related to work engagement, and occupational identity and emotional exhaustion both played mediating roles in this relationship. These findings enrich the research on the antecedents of work engagement and provide practical implications for related management practice.

Previous research has shown that teacher–student relationships influence student engagement, which, in turn, plays a key role in academic achievement. However, few studies have focused on the mechanism between the teacher–student relationship and student engagement. To address this gap in the literature, this study examined the link between teacher–student relationships and college students' engagement via the mediator of peer relationships. The sample consisted of 222 university students in Southwest China. Results of structural equation modeling showed that a positive teacher–student relationship was positively related to student engagement, and peer relationships partially mediated this relationship. Our findings will help researchers and educators to better understand the mechanism of the link between teacher–student relationships and student engagement, and provide practical suggestions for improving college students' engagement.

We explored the chain mediating role of psychological detachment and work–family conflict in the relationship between workplace fear of missing out (FOMO) and job burnout. Participants comprised 324 Chinese employees who completed online surveys at four time points. Results were as follows: (a) workplace FOMO was negatively correlated with psychological detachment and positively correlated with work–family conflict and job burnout, (b) psychological detachment and work–family conflict played a mediating role in the relationship between workplace FOMO and job burnout, and (c) psychological detachment and work–family conflict played a chain mediating role in the relationship between workplace FOMO and job burnout. The multiple mediating mechanisms by which workplace FOMO affects job burnout point to its harmful effects and indicate a need to reduce its potential impact on job burnout by increasing employees' psychological detachment and reducing their work–family conflict levels.

This research examined the impact of teacher support on students' psychological capital during the process of online learning, and investigated the mediating effect of the teacher–student relationship and the moderating role of family support. For this purpose, 577 junior high school students in China completed a survey. The findings revealed a positive relationship between teacher support and students' psychological capital. Moreover, teacher–student relationships mediated the influence of teacher support on students' psychological capital. Furthermore, family support moderated the link between teacher support and teacher–student relationships. These results have practical implications for guiding teachers' efforts in the online learning environment, facilitating teacher support, and providing more effective assistance to students who have little family support.
