We investigated the reactions and preferences of the Chinese populace, particularly young adults, toward China's three-child policy, a recent strategy aimed at addressing the nation's aging population that allows couples to have up to three children. By monitoring Sina Weibo discussions related to fertility policies, we gauged public sentiment and potential emotional contagion. We collected 711 main posts and 26,515 responses and used the sentiment analysis method to identify the emotional tendencies of each post, thus determining if emotional contagion occurred. Results showed there were 631 posts with negative emotional contagion effects and 554 posts with positive emotional contagion effects. Further textual analysis indicated that the Chinese public maintains a pessimistic outlook on the three-child policy and expresses concern about the detrimental impact of social circumstances and the difficulties women encounter concerning fertility.

To test the relationship between social face consciousness (SFC) and life satisfaction (LS) among new employees in a Chinese context, we administered the Consciousness of Social Face Scale, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Ruminative Responses Scale to 624 employees with 1 year or less of service in the job market. The results showed that SFC had a significant negative predictive effect on new employees’ LS, and indirectly affected new employees’ LS through perceived social support. Further, rumination played a significant role in moderating the influence of SFC on new employees’ LS; specifically, for new employees with a low level of rumination, SFC had no significant predictive effect on LS, whereas for those with a high level of rumination, SFC had a significant negative predictive effect on their LS. Thus, SFC inhibits new employees’ LS and affects LS through the intermediary role of perceived social support, while rumination moderates this relationship. This study provides insight into how new employees can improve their LS in practice.

A quality teacher–student relationship facilitates students' psychological wellbeing, but the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. To address this issue, we investigated the role of a supportive school climate in the link between teacher–student relationships and college students' psychological well-being. We used a paper-based questionnaire to collect data from 318 students enrolled in three universities in west China, and used Amos 22.0 software to establish a structural equation model. The results indicated there was a significant positive link between teacher–student relationships and students' psychological well-being, and that supportive school climate partially mediated this link. This study extends the conclusions of prior research and provides new insights into how teacher–student relationships affect the psychological well-being of college students.

We examined the association between work–family conflict and turnover intention by exploring the mediating effect of job satisfaction and the moderating effect of career calling. Data from 1,346 Chinese rural preschool teachers were processed using correlation analysis and hierarchical linear regression analysis. The results revealed that work–family conflict was significantly and positively associated with rural preschool teachers' turnover intention. Job satisfaction mediated this relationship, while career calling moderated the association between work–family conflict and job satisfaction. These findings contribute to understanding of turnover intention among rural preschool teachers and suggest the need to enhance career calling to promote job satisfaction and reduce turnover in this profession.

Many studies have determined the existence of a close association between childhood maltreatment and internet addiction; however, the internal mechanism has not been fully investigated. This study explored the effect of childhood maltreatment on internet addiction among college students, focusing on the mediating effects of social support and self-esteem. Respondents were 442 college students, who completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire–Short Form, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Internet Addiction Test. Results showed that childhood maltreatment, social support, and self-esteem were all significantly correlated with internet addiction. Structural equation modeling results indicated that social support and self-esteem partially mediated the effect of childhood maltreatment on internet addiction. Limitations and implications of the current study are discussed.

Although culture plays an essential role in destination image creation, few studies have examined the effectiveness of culture mixing in the tourism industry. Thus, we tested the impact of culture mixing on travel intention with a sample of 279 tourists in China. Results revealed a distributional effect of cultural iconicity on culture mixing, which suggests that tourists preferred culture mixing and showed a strong travel intention, but only for destinations with a low level of cultural iconicity. In contrast, they expressed a negative response to culture mixing when the destination had high cultural iconicity. Additionally, we examined the mediating roles of confusion experience and creativity perception to further strengthen understanding of culture mixing in the tourism context. Our findings provide insight into how to build creative tourism destination environments and advise prestigious destinations on how to utilize cultural tactics in advertising.

We constructed a moderated mediation model to examine the mediating effect of social identification between the psychological distance of the role model and students' sense of purpose and the moderating effect of students' social comparison orientation on the relationship between psychological distance of the role model and students' social identification, which subsequently affects their sense of purpose. Participants were 518 Chinese undergraduates who completed experiments in two studies, and a survey in a third study. Results showed that (a) after excluding the influences of gender and major, psychological distance from their role models negatively predicted participants' sense of purpose; (b) social identification partially mediated the relationship between psychological distance and sense of purpose; and (c) social comparison orientation moderated the negative effects of psychological distance on social identification. Our results show that for the practice of education by example, students should be guided to choose proximal role models as references to enhance their sense of purpose, and thereby reduce the hollow heart phenomenon.

In recent years the value cocreation-oriented online music community has grown at an astonishing rate. To clarify the relationship between value cocreation and users' continuance intention in an online music community, we added aesthetic value to value cocreation based on service-dominant logic, and explored the chain mediating role of empathy and trust in this model. Using convenience sampling we collected 338 valid questionnaires from people who had used NetEase Cloud online music community within the past 6 months. Structural equation modeling results showed that aesthetic value had no effect on empathy and trust, but the relationships between the other variables in the model showed positive correlations, and empathy and trust had independent and chain mediating roles in this connection. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of online music communities.

This study presents a meta-analysis of 59 separate samples sourced from 49 studies, pooling a sample size of 34,442 participants to examine the relationship between leadership style and public service motivation. We found that leader–member exchange leadership, charismatic leadership, and servant leadership had a strong positive correlation with public service motivation, while transactional leadership, ethical leadership, and transformational leadership had a moderate positive correlation with public service motivation. Moreover, cultural background, the measurement instrument used to assess public service motivation, and the source of participants moderated the correlation between leadership style and public service motivation. In contrast, the moderating effect of research design was nonsignificant. The results elucidate the relationship between leadership style and public service motivation and provide theoretical guidance for public sector management practice.

We examined the effects of sentence-final particles (SFPs) in comprehending different types of irony by Chinese-speaking children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). We tested 15 children with ASDs, along with another 15 typically developing (TD) children. In our test, by manipulating the use of the prototypical SFP /a/, participants were required to judge the speaker's attitude and real intention in ironic utterances of 16 stories and to further explain the language phenomenon. The results of a three-way analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the two groups: first, children with ASDs performed significantly worse than did their TD counterparts; second, while TD children relied more on SFPs to understand irony of compliment, children with ASDs only performed better with SFPs in comprehending irony of criticism. The differences are discussed in relation to theory of mind, the frequency of utterance, and rules of cognition.
