This study explored the relationship between child abuse and belief in a just world (BJW), as well as the mediating role of resilience and the moderating effect of family socioeconomic status (SES). We randomly recruited 514 children from Jiangsu Province, China. The results of a moderated mediation analysis showed that child abuse significantly and negatively predicted BJW. Further, resilience played a mediating role between child abuse and BJW, while SES positively moderated the relationship between resilience and BJW. Compared to those with lower SES, abused children from a higher SES status background had more resilience to improve their BJW. The findings could be helpful for the child welfare system and for social workers to support abused children, especially those from low SES families, to achieve better adaptation and development.

We conducted two experiments to explore whether moral judgments occur intuitively in sports scenarios, and whether such judgments are influenced by stress and self-control. In Experiment 1 we verified the existence of intuitive moral judgment in sports scenarios, then in Experiment 2 we identified the moderating effect of self-control. Results of a survey with Chinese collegiate athletes showed that under the condition of low stress, there was no significant difference between individuals with strong and weak self-control regarding the accuracy rate of intuitive moral judgment in sports scenarios. Under the condition of high stress, however, individuals with strong self-control were more inclined than were those with weak self-control to intuitively make a judgment that was moral in sports scenarios. Therefore, in sports scenarios stress exerts an influence on intuitive moral judgment, and the degree to which this influence applies is moderated by individual self-control. This finding has positive implications for reducing unethical behavior among athletes in sporting contexts.

This research examined the relationships between motivation, support, and intercultural communicative competence (ICC) among students involved in a university project in Malaysia, called Crossroads of Culture. We evaluated the impact on ICC of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation types, and of autonomy, competence, and relatedness support. Data collected via a questionnaire from a diverse group of 273 participants were processed using descriptive and correlation analysis. The findings underscore that in Malaysia's multilingual society, students participating in intercultural communicative activities had higher intrinsic than extrinsic motivation. Furthermore, extrinsic motivators, such as the desire to improve language skills, obtain credits or certificates, or achieve career benefits, did not exhibit a significant correlation with ICC. Additionally, the availability of mentor support and the establishment of meaningful relationships among participants were identified as pivotal elements in molding their levels of satisfaction, which profoundly impacted their ICC. Implications of the findings are discussed.

The underdog expectations effect is becoming more common in workplaces, but its influence on creativity has not been studied. Utilizing conservation of resources theory, we investigated the complex relationship between underdog expectations and creativity, and the mediating effects of both perspective taking and emotional exhaustion. Results revealed that underdog expectations had both positive and negative impacts on creativity, depending on the mediators involved. The perceived value of innovation within an organization also had a moderating effect by either strengthening or weakening these mediation effects: When innovation was highly valued, the positive effect was reinforced, while the negative effect was diminished. This research contributes to understanding of the underdog expectations effect in creativity contexts and emphasizes the role of organizational culture in fostering innovation. The findings provide valuable insights for organizations aiming to create an innovative environment while harnessing the potential of underdog expectations.

Our purpose was to clarify the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing behavior, and investigate what role fear of missing out (FOMO) plays in this process. We recruited 751 Chinese vocational college students aged between 18 and 23 years to participate in a questionnaire survey. We used the PROCESS macro version 3.5 for SPSS to analyze the mediating effect, and the results suggested that boredom proneness and FOMO significantly affected phubbing behavior. FOMO played a partial mediating role in the relationship between boredom proneness and phubbing, implying that high boredom proneness increased FOMO, which, in turn, increased phubbing behavior. The two dimensions of FOMO (fear of missing information and fear of missing situations) also had a partial mediating effect on this same relationship. To our knowledge, ours is the first study to practically investigate Chinese vocational college students' FOMO in relation to boredom proneness and phubbing behavior, which may provide useful information for intervention strategies for reducing phubbing behavior.

We explored the relationship between green packaging design and green purchase intention from the perspective of consumers by conducting a bootstrapped mediation effects analysis and a multiple mediation analysis with 513 users of a brand in China that has green packaging. The results revealed that green packaging design had a strong positive impact on green purchase intention, and this relationship was mediated by perceived environmental friendliness, green brand equity, green brand attitudes, and green brand relationships. In addition, green packaging design influenced green purchase intention through the paths from environmental friendliness to green brand equity, and from green brand attitudes to green brand relationships. The findings of this study offer guidelines for green marketing efforts. By adopting green packaging designs and promoting environmental friendliness, companies can enhance their green brand equity, which can, in turn, positively influence consumers' green purchase intention.

We explored the impact of the emotions of nonnative English-language teachers on their pedagogical practices, accounting for the mediating role of emotional intelligence. We used a quantitative research method and collected data from 134 nonnative English-language teachers working at 16 educational institutes in China. The hypotheses were tested by analyzing all data using SmartPLS software. The results indicated that nonnative English-language teachers' emotions had a significant impact on their pedagogical practices, with emotional intelligence mediating this relationship. The study findings have implications for teacher education programs, which should focus on developing emotional intelligence skills among teachers to enhance their pedagogical practices. Further, targeted professional development programs will help teachers to manage their emotions and improve their teaching effectiveness.

The talents of scientific and technological (sci-tech) innovators are crucial in maintaining the competitiveness of an organization. Based on organizational support theory, we examined the stimulation and effectiveness of sense of work gain in a survey of 459 sci-tech innovators under three types of paternalistic leadership: authoritarian, benevolent, and moral. The results showed that authoritarian leadership was negatively related to innovators' task performance, whereas both benevolent and moral leadership were positively related to their task performance. For sense of work gain, all three dimensions (survival, relationship, and growth gain) mediated the relationship between authoritarian leadership and task performance, and relationship gain and growth gain mediated the relationships between both benevolent and moral leadership, and task performance. Organizational support positively moderated the relationships between the three dimensions of sense of work gain and task performance. The findings provide theoretical and practical references for improving innovators' sense of work gain and task performance.
