Purchase decisions have important implications for consumers' well-being. Age-related motivation changes may affect purchase preferences, while personal values and sociocultural context can moderate the age differences. This study investigates age-related differences in experiential versus material purchase evaluations and the moderating effects of personal values and sociocultural contexts with participants aged 20–78 years from the United States (N = 201) and China (N = 212). A significant country × personal value × age three-way interaction on purchase evaluation was found. Age was negatively related to experiential purchase preference for Chinese participants with lower self-transcendence or openness-to-change values. Such a relationship became weaker or even positive for Chinese participants with higher self-transcendence or openness-to-change values. However, no age-related main effects or interactions were significant in American participants. The study provides insights into age-related differences in consumers' purchase preferences and highlights the critical roles of personal values and sociocultural contexts.

Detailed photographs of deep space from the James Webb telescope are public, yet little is known about how such imagery might affect people. Using both face-to-face and online study designs, compared to exposure to photographs of urban environments, exposure to photographs of deep space and stars increased experiences of awe overall and also its 6 subfactors, and in particular vastness (e.g., “I felt in the presence of greatness”) and accommodation (“I found it was hard to comprehend the experience in full”). Effects were generally larger for photographs of deep space than those of the stars. Mixed results were found on positive affect in general, with it sometimes increasing after exposure to deep space and the stars. No effects emerged on negative affect. Deep space and stars also led to higher ratings of pleasantness of the images, perceived restoration, and willingness to hang such photos in their room compared to urban photographs. Moderators were also assessed (i.e., feeling connected to the night sky and fear of the dark). Overall, results suggest that photographs of deep space from the James Webb telescope have similar, though not identical, effects as photographs of stars, both of which are generally more positive than urban photographs.

This study explored perceived stress (PS) and depression dynamics during the college transition, examining whether changes in PS predict subsequent changes in depression. A total of 971 Chinese college freshmen (Mage = 19.29, SD = 1.14) completed four measurements at 4-week intervals, analysed via multivariate latent growth modeling (LGM). Results showed PS decreased in the first month after enrollment then gradually increased, while depression declined linearly over 3 months. Females showed higher initial PS than males. Initial PS positively predicted initial depression and negatively predicted depression decreases. Furthermore, a PS decrease during the first month positively predicted a subsequent decrease in depression. Conversely, a PS increase during the following 2 months negatively predicted the decrease in depression. Interpersonal connection negatively predicted initial PS and depression but positively predicted later PS increases. Subjective social status negatively predicted initial PS yet positively predicted initial depression and early PS decline. Moreover, group cohesion positively predicted initial PS yet positively predicted its early reduction. These findings highlight associations between changes in PS and freshmen's depression trajectories, pinpoint a critical window for early intervention, and underscore the significance of stress reduction to mitigating initial rises in depression.

Positive outcomes that college students experience after drinking alcohol can motivate them to drink in the future. However, college students may respond to similar alcohol-related experiences differently according to genetic variability in their alcohol metabolism genes. This study investigated the effects of a cumulative genetic score (CGS) comprising alleles in ALDH2 rs671, ADH1B rs1229984 and ADH1C rs1693482 on relationships between positive drinking consequences and next-day drinking behaviours. The current study used daily diary assessments from 120 Korean college students (35% male, age range = 18–25) to examine the interactive effects of CGS and positive drinking consequences on alcohol quantity and frequency over 14 days. Multilevel modelling revealed that individuals with higher CGS drank more frequently and consumed a greater number of drinks the next day following positive drinking experiences. In contrast, individuals with lower CGS either did not drink or drank less the next day, even if they had positive drinking experiences on the previous day. Our findings indicate that the effects of positive drinking consequences on next-day drinking behaviours vary according to cumulative genetic risk across ALDH2, ADH1B and ADH1C. These findings may suggest a benefit to genotype-specific interventions for college students' alcohol consumption in response to positive drinking experiences.

Individuals' belief in a just world is related to a complexity of personal and social consequences. Understanding the development of justice belief can provide valuable information about its determinants and functions across the lifespan. The current study aims to investigate age-related differences in belief in a just world across adulthood and how the age differences are moderated by cultural values. Responses from 81,543 individuals across 57 societies were analysed. Individual-level information was obtained from the sixth wave of the World Values Survey, and society-level individualism and flexibility scores were obtained from Minkov and Kaasa's work on the two-dimensional model of cultural values. Hierarchical linear modelling was conducted to analyse the data and revealed a robust positive association between age and the belief in a just world. Moreover, society-level flexibility, but not individualism, strengthened the positive association between age and the belief in a just world. A positive main effect of flexibility on the belief in a just world was also found. The study revealed age-related differences in justice belief across societies. The findings suggest that the development of the belief in a just world is jointly influenced by individuals' personal motivational needs for justice and the cultural context.

Previous work has revealed that priming people with significant others increases feelings of security and energy, and in turn, boosts exploration motivations. In this preregistered study, we directly replicated Luke et al.'s (2012) Study 2 (N = 281). We found similar results as the replicated study regarding increased security feelings and exploration motivations on the self-report measures after the priming. However, we did not find any support for the increased energy feelings after the attachment security priming. In addition, contrary to Luke et al.'s (2012) results, energy feelings did not mediate the relationship between security priming and exploration motivations. A discussion of null findings, along with the limitations of self-reports and potential misinterpretation of the mediational analyses, follows. We also discuss possible future implications of the current findings.

Despite the growing prevalence of the intensive mothering ideology in China, little quantitative research has been conducted within the Chinese context. Utilising data from 449 Chinese mothers of preschoolers, the current study examined how intensive mothering attitudes, as well as whether their associations with maternal involvement in educational activities differed by social class. Results suggested that, compared to middle-class mothers, working-class mothers reported a stronger endorsement of intensive mothering in several aspects. Specifically, they believed more strongly in their inherent roles as mothers, the importance of cognitive stimulation and the child-centred parenting approach, and the challenges of mothering more than their middle-class counterparts. Mothers' endorsements of the importance of cognitive stimulation, the child-centred parenting approach, and the fulfilment in childrearing were positively related to their levels of home-based and school-based involvement. In addition, the association between mothers' recognition of the value of cognitive stimulation and home-based involvement was stronger for middle-class than working-class mothers. The findings highlight the impact of the intensive mothering ideology on maternal involvement and its variations by social class in contemporary China.

A cornerstone of health and well-being research is understanding how different forms of capital and expenditure influence individual outcomes. This study addressed the effects of various types of consumption expenditure and social capital on individual health levels in China, using panel data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2016 to 2022. Additionally, we examine the mediating role of living satisfaction between consumption expenditure and social capital. Employing a fixed-effect model, we found that both overall consumption expenditure and social capital have a positive impact on health. Moreover, living satisfaction serves as a key mediator between social capital and health, as well as between consumption expenditure and health. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that agricultural residents benefit more from spending on essentials and education, underscoring the importance of basic living conditions and education in rural health outcomes. Research conclusions remain robust and statistically significant even after a series of robustness checks and treatments for endogeneity. These findings highlighted the close connection between economic resources, social capital and psychological well-being in shaping health outcomes and suggested that improving individual health serves both as a goal and as a strategy for promoting public health, particularly in contexts of social and economic transformation.

Successfully managing one's unpleasant emotions despite adversities is important to help people maintain their well-being. Using daily diary assessment, we explored the role of Self-efficacy in Regulating Negative Affect (SRN) on Hedonic well-being (HWB), measured once a day over 21 days in a sample of 63 Italian young adults (mean age = 25.43, SD = 3.47; 67.7% women). Dynamic Structural Equation Modelling showed that there is a significant positive correlation between the spill-over effect from daily SRNt−1 to HWBt, with the carry-over effect of SRN (r = 0.625; 95% CI: [0.179, 0.850]). To explore this result more in depth, we performed a simple slope analysis that revealed that for those young adults with high carry-over of SRN over time, the spill-over effect from daily SRNt−1 to HWBt was positive and statistically significant (b = 0.247, 95% CI [0.032, 0.447]) compared to those young adults with low carry-over of SRN, which was nonsignificant (b = −0.092, 95% CI [−0.299, 0.137]). We discuss these findings in light of the potential role that SRN could play in people's well-being during their everyday lives, which is in line with Bandura's social cognitive theory. At the practical level, our results suggest that enhancing SRN might be beneficial to young adults' HWB.

At the practical level, our results suggest that enhancing SRN might be beneficial to young adults' HWB.</p>","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12620929/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145534921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
