We explored the relationship between moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), cell phone screen time (CPST) and cell phone dependence with 715 children at primary schools in China. The students completed the Children’s Leisure Activities Study Survey-Chinese edition, the Mobile Phone Usage Frequency Scale, and the Self-Assessment Questionnaire on Adolescent Mobile Phone Use Dependence. The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the children’s mean daily MVPA time and cell phone dependence, cravings, and physical and mental effects; those children who did not meet the World Health Organization???s recommended MVPA levels had stronger cravings for cell phones. In addition, there was a low to moderate positive correlation between CPST and cell phone dependence. It is recommended that primary school students participate in more MVPA and reduce their CPST to reduce the cravings for cell phones and the negative physical and mental effects of cell phone use.

We classified latent profiles according to effort???reward imbalance indices for a cluster sample of 3,248 kindergarten teachers in Western China, and examined the characteristics of each profile and how they were affected by organizational climate. Findings showed there were three levels of effort???reward imbalance among kindergarten teachers: high (72.4%), medium (22.8%), and low (4.9%). Kindergartens belonged to one of four organizational climate categories: disengaged (43.3%), engaged (26.6%), open (12.1%), or enclosed (18.0%). Regarding the imbalance between the organizational climate among the kindergarten types and the rewards allocated to the teachers, those in an enclosed organizational climate were most likely to experience a high effort???reward imbalance, while teachers in an open organizational climate were most likely to have a medium-level effort???reward imbalance, and teachers in an engaged organizational climate were most likely to have a low effort???reward imbalance. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Job autonomy serves as an effective catalyst for passion and engagement in the workplace. However, the rapid advancement of information technology has greatly facilitated observational monitoring, which has the potential to diminish the benefits of job autonomy. Drawing upon self-determination theory, our study explored the mediating role of harmonious passion for work in the relationship between job autonomy and work engagement, as well as the moderating role of observational monitoring in the relationship between job autonomy and harmonious passion for work. Findings from a two-wave survey conducted among incumbent employees (1 = 281) revealed that harmonious passion for work partially mediated the relationship between job autonomy and work engagement. Further, when employees perceived a high level of observational monitoring, the positive impact of job autonomy on harmonious passion for work was weakened. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are thoroughly discussed.

The problem of loneliness among college students has attracted extensive attention from researchers. As a fundamental psychological framework, personality traits are associated with loneliness. Thus, we conducted a survey of 688 college students in Mainland China to examine the relationship between the HEXACO personality traits and loneliness. Regression analysis revealed a negative association between loneliness and the personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, and a positive association between loneliness and the personality traits of honesty???humility, emotionality, and extraversion. This model explained 33.78% of the variance in loneliness. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Drawing on self-determination theory, the purpose of this study was to investigate how affect influences employee creativity through work engagement (absorption and attention). In Study 1 we recruited 143 participants to assess their perceptions of affect, creative performance, and work engagement. Study 2 is a longitudinal study in which we examined the stability of the relationship between affect and work engagement with a sample of 87 government employees from Beijing. Positive relationships were identified between affect, work engagement, and creative performance. The result emphasizes the key role of affect in fostering absorption and attention, and consequently, creative performance is amplified. In the context of China’s academia and researchers, the substantial significance of affect in boosting creative performance is demonstrated. The study shows that work engagement mediates the influence of affect on creativity. Work engagement is regarded as a valuable psychological phenomenon due to its significance in terms of creative performance and individual well-being.

We used the aligning well-being and resilience in education (AWaRE) cognitive model to understand how resilience develops and maintains the wellbeing of primary-school teachers in China. We also assessed the mediating effect of social support between resilience and well-being of 351 primary-school teachers. The results of our survey indicated the following: (a) resilience positively predicted social support and teacher well-being; (b) social support was found to be a significant predictor, indicating a positive association with teacher well-being; and (c) social support mediated the relationship between resilience and teacher well-being. The findings provide evidence for the feasibility of the AWaRE model and explain a key mechanism through which resilience positively influences teacher well-being. Therefore, educational trainers can implement interventions related to psychological resilience to enhance teacher well-being.

Focusing on hot air ballooning, a sports tourism product, this study first conceptualized the activity’s perceived coolness in the tourism context and denoted the following three determinants: attractiveness, identification, and uniqueness. According to an online survey of 308 participants conducted in Chengdu, China, all three determinants were positively related to perceived coolness. We further identified positive relationships between perceived coolness and tourists’ sport participation, and between perceived coolness and social values. Both fantasy experience and social values played a mediating role in the relationship of perceived coolness and tourists’ sport participation. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications for sports tourism are discussed.

Blame-avoidance behavior in the context of different goal-setting and accountability pressures has become a hot topic in academia. We employed the theory of planned behavior to explore how goal reasonableness affects blame-avoidance behavior in a sample of 394 grassroots civil servants in China. We found a negative relationship between goal reasonableness and grassroots civil servants’ blame-avoidance behavior, with felt accountability acting as a mediator. Further, power???responsibility matching moderated the relationship between goal reasonableness and felt accountability. This study will help to improve the incentive assessment mechanism for grassroots civil servants and motivate them to maintain accountability for their work.

We explored acculturation profiles among Chinese domestic migrants and examined the variation in personality traits across these profiles. Questionnaires assessing acculturation patterns and personality traits were completed by 816 participants. Acculturation patterns were measured by the East Asian Acculturation Measure and personality traits were measured with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire???Revised, Short Scale. Four profiles with personality differences were identified using latent profile analysis: less acculturated, highlyacculturated,marginalized,andmoderatelybicultural.Adoptingapersoncentered approach was underscored by these findings, suggesting that the government could design a targeted strategy aimed at facilitating adjustment among higher risk domestic migrants (e.g., those with marginalized or less-acculturated profiles) with particular personality traits, such as high levels of neuroticism and low extraversion.
我们探讨了中国国内移民的文化适应特征，并研究了这些特征之间的人格特质差异。816 名参与者填写了评估文化适应模式和人格特质的问卷。文化适应模式由东亚文化适应测量法（East Asian Acculturation Measure）进行测量，人格特质则由艾森克人格问卷（Eysenck Personality Questionnaire）修订版短量表（Short Scale）进行测量。这些发现强调了以人为本的方法，表明政府可以制定有针对性的战略，以促进具有特定人格特质（如高神经质和低外向性）的高风险国内移民（如边缘化或文化程度较低的移民）适应新环境。
