People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) feel instability in self-image, affects and relationships. The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ) in a sample of 737 nonclinical Romanian adults. Results indicated mostly satisfactory internal consistency for the subscales and high internal consistency for the total score of the scale. A factor analysis showed a one-factor solution that accounted for 50.21 % of the observed variance. Evidence for convergent validity, tested by evaluating the associations between borderline traits, anxiety, depression, stress, life satisfaction and impulsivity traits, was confirmed, but the assumptions for divergent validity were not met. Results are discussed considering previous studies. Future research is needed to fully evaluate its psychometric properties.

Many risk behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and problematic social media use (PSMU), are formed and developed during adolescence. These risk behaviors may become even more acute with lasting global economic impacts of the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research indicates that narcissism can lead to problematic social media use; however, there is a gap in the knowledge about the mediating and moderating variables facilitating this relationship. This study examines the role of fear of missing out (FoMO) as a mediator in this relationship and the role of social capital as a moderator for this mediation effect among Chinese adolescents during the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1380 adolescents (825 females) anonymously completed the questionnaires which assessed the four variables of interest. Our results showed that fear of missing out mediated the associations between self-superior and other-inferior narcissism and problematic social media use, and this effect was stronger with other-inferior narcissism. Additionally, social capital strengthened the mediation effect of fear of missing out in the relationships between self-superior and other-inferior narcissism and problematic social media use. The results have critical implications for the prevention of adolescents? PSMU.

The present study aims to examine the effects of two dual-task training methods (motor-motor and cognitive-motor) as well as a single task method on static and dynamic balance and also on the working memory in children. Forty-five children (all male; mean age 8.82 ? 0.83 years) were selected and randomly assigned into three experimental groups. In the pretest, posttest, and retention stages, the participants took static, and dynamic balance tests, as well as an n-back task. In the training stage, the participants practiced selected balance training tasks under dual-task motor-motor and motor-cognitive conditions as well as a single task over a period of four weeks at two sessions per week. The results of the paired samples t-test indicated that children in all groups improved their balance performance and working memory (p ? .05). The results of ANCOVA showed that the balance training group under motor-motor dual-task conditions outperformed the other two groups in terms of the dynamic balance scores (p ? .05). An improved performance was also observed for the cognitive-motor dual-task conditions compared to the single-task group (p ? .01). In terms of static balance and working memory, both dual-task groups, regardless of the types of their tasks, outperformed the single task group (p ? .05).

There is burgeoning evidence showing the negative impact of fear of COVID-19 on various mental health outcomes. Little is known about the underlying mechanism of the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and sleep problems in times of health crisis. This study aims to examine whether fear of COVID-19 was associated with sleep problems through happiness and problematic social networking sites (SNS) use. Participants included 506 young adults (67.6% females; mean age = 28.23 ? 8.73 years) drawn from the general public in Turkey. Results showed that fear of COVID-19 had a significant predictive effect on happiness (? = -0.15, p < 0.01), problematic SNS use (? = 0.32, p < 0.01), and sleep problems (? =0.36, p < 0.01)0. Most importantly, happiness (effect = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.04]) and problematic SNS use (effect = 0.07, 95% CI [0.04, 0.11]) mediated the impact of fear of COVID-19 on sleep problems. These findings suggest that happiness and problematic SNS use are important factors that can help explain the association between fear of COVID-19 and sleep problems among young adults. Intervention and prevention programs can be developed to reduce the effect of fear the of COVID-19 pandemic on sleep problems of young adults by considering the roles of happiness and SNS use in the context of health crises or other stressful situations.
越来越多的证据表明，对COVID-19的恐惧对各种心理健康结果产生了负面影响。在健康危机时期，对COVID-19的恐惧与睡眠问题之间关系的潜在机制知之甚少。这项研究旨在通过幸福感和有问题的社交网站(SNS)使用来研究对COVID-19的恐惧是否与睡眠问题有关。参与者包括506名年轻人(67.6%为女性;平均年龄= 28.23岁?8.73岁)，来自土耳其的普通民众。结果显示，对COVID-19的恐惧对幸福感有显著的预测作用(?= -0.15, p < 0.01)，有问题的社交网络使用(?= 0.32, p < 0.01)，睡眠问题(?=0.36, p < 0.01)。最重要的是，快乐(效应= 0.02,95% CI[0.01, 0.04])和有问题的社交网络使用(效应= 0.07,95% CI[0.04, 0.11])介导了对COVID-19的恐惧对睡眠问题的影响。这些发现表明，快乐和有问题的社交网络使用是有助于解释年轻人对COVID-19的恐惧与睡眠问题之间关联的重要因素。可以制定干预和预防方案，通过考虑幸福和社交网络使用在健康危机或其他压力情况下的作用，减少对COVID-19大流行的恐惧对年轻人睡眠问题的影响。

This study used path analysis to evaluate the ability of the Theory of planned behaviour to predict professional help-seeking intentions in an adult community sample (N = 470, 51% female, age range: 18-64 years). The results showed that perceived behavioural control was the most significant antecedent of help-seeking intentions, positive attitudes increased the likelihood to seek professional help, however, their effect was small, while subjective norms were not relevant. Past help-seeking had a small direct effect on intentions, yet equally strong as the total indirect effect via attitudes and perceived behavioural control. Psychological distress affected intentions only indirectly. Difficulties with self-disclosure were the only barrier that had a partially mediated effect on intentions through perceived behavioural control. The findings are discussed with respect to the utility of the TPB model, as well as in the wider context of professional help-seeking and interventions to encourage the utilization of mental health services.

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the understanding of partner violence from the perspective of female victims. This study addresses intimate partner violence from a qualitative paradigm and a social constructivist approach. Data was collected from interviews with 15 female victims of violence, which was used as the basis for thematic analysis. In the contents of the subjects? narratives, four core themes and eight sub-themes stood out. The core themes were: incident-based violence, life in the world of the perpetrator, causes of the violent behavior and justification for it, and victims taking responsibility for the violence. The results of the analysis showed that the violence experienced by these victims could not be reduced to isolated incidents. Still, it was a process that included situations and behaviors that were not subject to punishment, which kept the victim in constant fear, controlled her behavior, and made her a subordinate perpetrator. In contrast, most explanations given (by the victims) for the violent behavior had the function of justifying the perpetrators? behavior and attributing responsibility to other agents - alcohol, mental illness, problems in the family of origin, or an external source of frustration. In certain cases, the women felt that they could be responsible for their own victimization as victims of violence. The results of the research indicate that intimate partner violence should be considered as a crime against identity and freedom, and that persons working with victims of violence should aim to deconstruct the beliefs that lead victims to find excuses for violent partner behavior, as well as to deconstruct beliefs that lead them to feel responsible for their victimization.

Psychological factors and adverse childhood events at an early age have been poorly investigated in relation to risky eating behavior and obesity. The importance of this relationship grows as these behaviors are becoming public health problems. The main objective of the present study was to examine the effects of interrelated psychological factors such as childhood negative life events, symptoms of depression and anxiety, and impulsivity on eating behaviors in a university student sample in Turkey. A total of 414 undergraduate students (60.4% women) in Turkey, completed the Turkish versions of the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) to assess emotional eating and external eating and the CDC-Kaiser Permanent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BSI-11). Structural equation models (SEM) were used to evaluate whether depressive/anxiety symptoms could be a mediator between impulsivity and emotional eating/external eating. Childhood adverse events were both weakly correlated with eating behavior and impulsivity measures (r = .18,r = .275, p < .001, respectively). Depression and anxiety levels were found to be significantly associated with all variables except for the body mass index (BMI; r = .121?.395, p < .001). Body mass index (BMI) was also significantly correlated with emotional eating (r = .231, p < .001) and restrained eating (r = .226, p < .001). Impulsivity was positively and directly associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression and emotional and external eating (respectively ? = .27, p < .001; ? = .31, p < .001; ? = .16, p = .006; ? = .13, p = .047). The effect of adverse experiences on both emotional eating (? = .147; 95% CI (.087 ? .247)) and external eating (? = .091; 95% CI (.032 ? .168)) was found to be partially mediated by impulsivity and symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results supported the proposition that symptoms of depression and anxiety levels are mediators between impulsivity and emotional eating/external eating. This finding suggests that a through psychological assessment should be taken into consideration when evaluating the eating behavior of university students and prevention and treatment strategies applied for disordered eating behaviors in the future.
心理因素和童年早期不良事件与危险饮食行为和肥胖之间的关系研究甚少。随着这些行为成为公共卫生问题，这种关系的重要性也在增加。本研究的主要目的是研究相关的心理因素，如童年负面生活事件，抑郁和焦虑症状，冲动对土耳其大学生饮食行为的影响。土耳其共有414名本科生(60.4%为女性)完成了土耳其版的荷兰饮食行为问卷(DEBQ)，以评估情绪性饮食和外部饮食以及CDC-Kaiser永久不良童年经历(ACE)、Beck抑郁量表(BDI)、Beck焦虑量表(BAI)和Barratt冲动量表-11 (BSI-11)。采用结构方程模型(SEM)评估抑郁/焦虑症状是否可能是冲动与情绪性进食/外在进食之间的中介。儿童期不良事件与饮食行为和冲动测量均呈弱相关(r = 0.18,r = 0.275, p < 0.001)。研究发现，抑郁和焦虑水平与除身体质量指数(BMI;R = 0.121 ?395, p < .001)。体重指数(BMI)与情绪性饮食(r = .231, p < .001)和克制性饮食(r = .226, p < .001)也有显著相关。冲动与焦虑、抑郁、情绪性进食和外源性进食的症状(分别为?= .27, p < .001;？ = .31, p < .001;？ = .16, p = .006;？ = .13, p = .047)。不良经历对情绪化进食(?= .147;95% ci(。087年?.247))和外食(?= .091;95% ci(。032年?.168))被发现部分是由冲动和焦虑和抑郁症状介导的。研究结果支持了抑郁症状和焦虑水平是冲动与情绪性进食/外在进食之间的中介的命题。这一发现提示，在评估大学生饮食行为时，应考虑通过心理评估，并在未来对饮食失调行为采取预防和治疗策略。

The need for positive organizational behavior research has resulted in the popularization of the concept of work engagement. Many researchers have examined its proximal antecedents, but little scientific attention has been focused on emotions and the non-work domain of employees? lives. Thus, the aim of this research was to study the relationship between recovery experiences, job-related affective well-being, and work engagement. A total of 279 Croatian employees participated in an online study. They filled in Job Affective Well-Being Scale, Recovery Experiences Questionnaire, short Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. The results demonstrated that recovery strategies and positive workplace emotions explained 63,4% variance of work engagement. Positive emotions mediated the relationship between recovery experiences and work engagement when recovery was measured as relaxation, developing mastery experiences, and high control over leisure time. Negative emotions mediated only relationship between relaxation and work engagement. Altogether, this study expends previous knowledge and confirms the interaction between employees? work and non-work domains of life.

Recent research has shown that bilinguals outperform monolinguals on tasks requiring non-linguistic executive control skills, thereby generating an interest in the relationship between bilingual language processing and non-linguistic control abilities. Based on this, the present study further examined the bidirectional interaction between language control and non-linguistic control in unbalanced Chinese-English bilinguals. These bilinguals completed a Flanker task in three types of language control contexts (i.e., L1, L2, and Mixed language contexts) in the interleaved word-comprehension-to-Flanker sequence and performed a picture-word matching task in three types of non-linguistic executive control contexts (i.e., color, shape and color-shape mixed contexts) in the interleaved color-shape-switching-to-word-comprehension sequence. The results showed that the Flanker effect in mixed language context was smaller than in single (L1 and L2) context, suggesting language control leads to a better non-linguistic control ability. Additionally, the language switching cost was found smaller in the mixed task context (color/shape switching), indicating that non-linguistic control can enhance the language control ability. Therefore, we conclude that there is a bidirectional interaction between language control and non-linguistic control even in unbalanced bilinguals.

In order to shed light on the intrapersonal mechanisms that underlie the teaching in the blended learning environment, which implies the integration of complementary face-to-face and online approaches, we focused on the relationship between teachers? self-efficacy and motivation for teaching, with reference to the mediating role of teachers? emotional experiences. The sample included 341 subject teachers from Serbian primary schools, who use the blended learning model in teaching (84% female; average age 43.97years). The Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale, Emotions in Teaching Inventory -Revised, and Autonomous Motivation for Teaching Scale were used to examine the variables of interest. The overall fit of the mediated model to the data was adequate, confirming the mediating role of teachers? emotions in the relationship between the studied motivational constructs. The results indicate that the motivation for teaching in a blended learning environment relies on self-efficacy in instructional strategies and self-efficacy in classroom management, which partially act through the emotions concerning the experience of tension.
