Background

While rhythm is an essential component of human development that contributes to both cognitive abilities and interactive behaviors, to date, research on rhythmic skills in individuals with mild intellectual disability (MID) – whose intellectual and adaptive functioning is impaired – is almost non-existent. If rhythmic abilities were deficient in these individuals, they could constitute a factor limiting their social integration and autonomy in daily life, that clinicians cannot neglect in their support.

Aims

The aim of our study was to better understand rhythm perception and production abilities and their development between 10 and 15 years and 16–21 years in individuals with idiopathic MID, compared to typically developing (TD) individuals.

Methods and procedures

Fifty-seven MID and sixty-eight TD participants matched on chronological age were tested in a rhythm discrimination task and a rhythm production task, including two spontaneous motor tempo (SMT) recording and a synchronization-continuation phase in which they had to produce rhythms that were identical, slower or faster than their own SMT, and this with three different response modalities.

Outcomes and results

Participants with MID performed worse than TD participants on all rhythmic tasks, while exhibiting a faster and more unstable SMT.

Conclusions and implications

These findings suggest the existence of a deficit in both rhythmic perception and production skills in individuals with MID, compared to TD individuals. Our study thus helps to demonstrate the importance of a standardized assessment of rhythmic abilities and the role of these abilities in rehabilitation protocols for patients.

虽然节奏是人类发展的重要组成部分，有助于认知能力和互动行为，但迄今为止，对轻度智力残疾（MID）患者（其智力和适应功能受损）的节奏技能的研究几乎不存在。如果这些个体缺乏节奏能力，它们可能构成限制其社会融合和日常生活自主性的因素，这是临床医生在支持他们时不能忽视的。目的：本研究的目的是更好地了解特发性MID患者在10 - 15岁和16-21岁之间的节律感知和产生能力及其发展，并与典型发育（TD）个体进行比较。方法和步骤57名符合实足年龄的MID和68名TD参与者在节奏辨别任务和节奏产生任务中进行了测试，包括两个自发运动节奏（SMT）记录和一个同步-延续阶段，他们必须在三种不同的反应模式下产生与自己的SMT相同、慢或快的节奏。结果和结果：与TD参与者相比，MID参与者在所有节律性任务中的表现更差，同时表现出更快和更不稳定的SMT。结论和意义这些发现表明，与TD患者相比，MID患者在节奏感知和生产技能方面存在缺陷。因此，我们的研究有助于证明节奏能力的标准化评估的重要性以及这些能力在患者康复方案中的作用。

This study examines the specific factors that contribute to academic writing difficulties among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in an English education department at a private university in Indonesia. Unlike other language skills, academic writing requires students to construct well-organized arguments, use formal academic conventions, and integrate evidence from multiple sources. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through online surveys and interviews with 65 students across different academic years. The findings reveal that affective–motivational factors, such as low motivation and self-confidence, hinder students' ability to initiate and sustain the process of developing and structuring complex written arguments. Linguistic factors, including insufficient command of academic grammar and vocabulary, specifically impede students' capacity to produce coherent, precise, and formally appropriate academic texts. Educational environment factors, such as limited opportunities for academic discourse with peers and lecturers, were found to have a lesser but still relevant impact on students' engagement with academic writing tasks. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions that address the unique cognitive, linguistic, and affective demands of academic writing, rather than general language proficiency alone. The study suggests that specialized support and further research are essential to help EFL learners overcome these distinct academic writing challenges.

本研究调查了印尼一所私立大学英语教育系英语作为外语学生学术写作困难的具体因素。与其他语言技能不同，学术写作要求学生构建组织良好的论点，使用正式的学术惯例，并整合来自多个来源的证据。采用混合方法，通过在线调查和对不同学年的65名学生的访谈收集数据。研究结果表明，情感动机因素，如低动机和自信，阻碍了学生启动和维持发展和构建复杂书面论点的能力。语言因素，包括对学术语法和词汇的掌握不足，特别阻碍了学生写出连贯、精确和正式合适的学术文章的能力。研究发现，教育环境因素，如与同伴和讲师进行学术对话的机会有限，对学生参与学术写作任务的影响较小，但仍然相关。这些结果强调需要有针对性的干预措施，以解决学术写作中独特的认知、语言和情感需求，而不仅仅是一般的语言能力。该研究表明，专业的支持和进一步的研究对于帮助英语学习者克服这些独特的学术写作挑战至关重要。

Idol worship has become a salient socio-cultural practice among Chinese adolescents, particularly high school students facing academic pressures and identity development challenges. This study examines the psychological mechanisms and collective behaviors of idol worship within Weibo's Super Topic Communities through a mixed-method approach. A corpus of 14,480 posts was analyzed using LIWC, treated here as a linguistic tool to describe language patterns rather than infer psychological states, while 15 semi-structured interviews were analyzed using grounded theory. Findings show that adolescent fans display stronger emphases on aspirations, peer affiliation, and goal pursuit compared to adult fans. The interview analysis generated a multi-stage model in which aesthetic and spiritual gratifications underpin idol identification, while community participation fosters belonging and group cohesion. Platform-mediated structures further amplify shared emotions and channel them into financial, affective, and time investments. This study advances fan research by proposing an explanatory model of adolescent idol worship, situating identity development within platform-mediated, data-driven communities and integrating linguistic and narrative evidence.

偶像崇拜已经成为中国青少年，尤其是面临学业压力和身份发展挑战的高中生的一种显著的社会文化实践。本研究采用混合方法研究微博超级话题社区偶像崇拜的心理机制和集体行为。使用LIWC分析了14,480个帖子的语料库，这里将其作为描述语言模式而不是推断心理状态的语言工具，而使用扎根理论分析了15个半结构化访谈。研究结果显示，与成年球迷相比，青少年球迷更注重抱负、同伴关系和目标追求。访谈分析产生了一个多阶段模型，其中审美和精神满足支撑着偶像认同，而社区参与则促进归属感和群体凝聚力。平台中介结构进一步放大了共同的情绪，并将其引导到财务、情感和时间投资中。本研究通过提出青少年偶像崇拜的解释模型，将身份发展置于平台介导、数据驱动的社区中，并整合语言和叙事证据，推动了粉丝研究。

As the demographic trend of population aging accelerates in China, there is a growing need for effective strategies to enhance subjective well-being in older adults. Although social capital is widely recognized as an external resource that contributes to subjective well-being, the underlying mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Guided by Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study proposed a moderated mediation framework to test whether loneliness mediates the relationship between social capital and subjective well-being, and whether optimism moderates this pathway. We employed well-validated scales and conducted a questionnaire survey among older adults aged 60 and above in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. We analyzed 581 valid responses using SPSS. The findings indicated a positive link between social capital and subjective well-being, with loneliness serving as a mediator. Specifically, loneliness accounted for 45.1% of the bonding and 50.5% of the bridging social capital associations with subjective well-being. In addition, optimism negatively moderated the association between social capital and loneliness, meaning that higher optimism diminished the protective association of social capital and corresponded to a weaker reduction in loneliness. The study advances the relevance of COR theory in aging contexts, sheds light on the processes that influence subjective well-being, and supplies theoretical guidance for initiatives seeking to enhance the life quality of older people. It also offers guidance for developing targeted elderly care policies, optimizing community services, and advancing psychological counseling programs.

随着中国人口老龄化趋势的加速，越来越需要有效的策略来提高老年人的主观幸福感。虽然社会资本被广泛认为是一种有助于主观幸福感的外部资源，但其潜在机制仍未得到充分了解。在资源保护理论的指导下，本研究提出了一个有调节的中介框架来检验孤独是否在社会资本与主观幸福感之间起中介作用，以及乐观是否在这一途径中起调节作用。我们采用有效的量表，对中国广东省广州市60岁及以上的老年人进行问卷调查。我们用SPSS分析了581份有效回复。研究结果表明，社会资本与主观幸福感之间存在正相关关系，孤独感在其中起着中介作用。具体来说，孤独感在社会资本与主观幸福感的联系中占45.1%，在桥梁社会资本与主观幸福感的联系中占50.5%。此外，乐观情绪负向调节了社会资本与孤独感之间的关系，这意味着较高的乐观情绪减弱了社会资本的保护性联系，并对应于较弱的孤独感减少。本研究推进了老龄背景下COR理论的相关性，揭示了影响主观幸福感的过程，并为寻求提高老年人生活质量的举措提供了理论指导。它还为制定有针对性的老年护理政策、优化社区服务和推进心理咨询项目提供指导。

Despite extensive research on the economic determinants of agricultural productivity, limited attention has been given to how key farm resources shape the psychological orientation of cultivators toward crop productivity particularly in smallholder contexts. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the influence of agricultural loans, landholding size, and technology adoption on cultivator psychology among small and marginal farmers in India. Drawing on Stress and Coping Theory, the study adopts a quantitative design using survey data from 500 farmers across twelve NITI Aayog–identified aspirational districts. The results reveal that technology adoption emerges as the strongest positive driver of cultivator psychology, followed by landholding size, while agricultural loans exert a modest but significant influence. Credit access enhances technology's benefits through a positive moderating effect, whereas the technology–landholding interaction indicates a negative influence, suggesting heightened psychological pressures when scaling technology without adequate institutional and operational support. The findings underscore the complex psychological dimensions of agricultural resource management, extending beyond conventional yield or income measures. These findings extend traditional economic models by emphasizing psychological well-being as a crucial mediator of productivity and highlight the importance of integrated policy frameworks that combine financial facilitation with technical and psychological assistance. This novel integration of resource-based and psychological perspectives offers actionable insights for enhancing farmer well-being and sustainable productivity in emerging economy settings.

尽管对农业生产力的经济决定因素进行了广泛的研究，但对关键农业资源如何塑造耕种者对作物生产力的心理取向（特别是在小农背景下）的关注有限。本研究旨在通过调查农业贷款、土地持有规模和技术采用对印度小农户和边缘农户耕者心理的影响来填补这一空白。根据压力和应对理论，该研究采用定量设计，使用来自12个印度国家农业研究所（NITI aayog）确定的理想地区的500名农民的调查数据。结果表明，技术采用对农户心理的正向影响最大，其次是土地持有规模，农业贷款对农户心理的正向影响不大，但影响显著。信贷获取通过正向调节效应增强了技术收益，而技术与土地持有的相互作用则显示出负面影响，表明在没有充分的制度和业务支持的情况下扩大技术规模时，心理压力会增加。研究结果强调了农业资源管理的复杂心理层面，超出了传统的产量或收入衡量标准。这些发现扩展了传统的经济模型，强调心理健康是生产力的关键中介，并强调了将财政便利与技术和心理援助结合起来的综合政策框架的重要性。这种基于资源和心理学视角的新颖整合，为提高新兴经济体中农民的福祉和可持续生产力提供了可行的见解。

In response to the demands of Sustainability 4.0 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study explored the role of eco conscious internal communication in creating eco centric creativity among employees of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). We hypothesized that the link between supervisor environmental priority is mediated by sustainability-oriented mindfulness and eco conscious personal identity and that supervisor environmental priority strengthens these pathways. A three-wave survey design was employed; 800 questionnaires were distributed to SME (Small & Medium Enterprises) employees in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, and 473 questionnaires were obtained after controlling for missing data. Eco conscious internal communication, supervisor environmental priority were measured at Time 1, sustainability-oriented mindfulness, eco conscious personal identity at Time 2 (four weeks after Time 1) and eco centric creativity was rated by supervisor at Time 3 (eight weeks after Time 1). Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS SEM) showed that eco conscious internal communication has a positive predictive relation with eco centric creativity (b = 0.12, p = 0.004). Sustainability oriented mindfulness (indirect b = 0.187) and eco conscious personal identity (indirect b = 0.065) mediated this relationship partially, and supervisor environmental priority enhanced the indirect relationship through eco conscious personal identity (b = 0.03, p = 0.001). The variance in eco centric creativity was explained by the model to 40.9 %. These results indicate that clear sustainability communication activates employee creativity through cognitive and identity mechanism and that supportive leadership increases these effects. The study adds to the field by supporting both organizational and environmental psychology theories by showing how motivation and social identity processes work to achieve sustainable innovation and offers an actionable approach for SMEs to take in order to achieve the SDGs.

为响应可持续发展4.0和可持续发展目标（sdg）的要求，本研究探讨了生态意识内部沟通在中小企业员工中创造生态中心创造力的作用。我们假设主管环境优先级之间的联系是由可持续性导向的正念和生态意识个人身份介导的，并且主管环境优先级加强了这些途径。采用三波调查设计；向北京、上海、广州、成都的中小企业员工发放问卷800份，剔除缺失数据后，共获得问卷473份。在时间1测量生态意识内部沟通、主管环境优先级，在时间2（时间1后四周）测量可持续导向正念、生态意识个人认同，在时间3（时间1后八周）由主管评估生态中心创造力。偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS SEM）显示，生态意识内部沟通与生态中心创造力有正向预测关系（b = 0.12,p = 0.004）。可持续发展导向的正念（间接b = 0.187）和生态意识的个人认同（间接b = 0.065）在这一关系中起部分中介作用，主管环境优先通过生态意识的个人认同（b = 0.03,p = 0.001）增强了这一间接关系。该模型解释了生态中心创造力的方差为40.9 %。研究结果表明，清晰的可持续性沟通通过认知机制和认同机制激活员工创造力，而支持性领导增强了这一效应。该研究通过展示动机和社会认同过程如何实现可持续创新，支持组织心理学和环境心理学理论，为该领域增添了新的内容，并为中小企业实现可持续发展目标提供了可行的方法。

Self-efficacy plays a central role in L2 academic writing. However, limited attention has been paid to how technology-related factors and emotions jointly shape learners' self-efficacy in L2 academic writing. Drawing on control-value theory and self-efficacy theory, this study investigates the relationships among large language model (LLM) acceptance, enjoyment, anxiety, and self-efficacy in L2 academic writing. A total of 643 Chinese EFL graduate students participated in the study, with data collected via an online questionnaire. Structural equation modelling was employed to examine hypothesized direct and indirect relationships. The results of the direct effects analysis showed that LLM acceptance positively predicted self-efficacy, enjoyment, and anxiety. Moreover, enjoyment positively predicted self-efficacy, whereas anxiety negatively predicted it. The results of the indirect effects analysis further revealed that enjoyment served as a complementary mediator, whereas anxiety acted as a competitive mediator in the link between LLM acceptance and self-efficacy. These findings highlight the dual emotional pathways through which LLM acceptance shapes self-efficacy and offer pedagogical insights into fostering students' self-efficacy in the L2 academic writing context.

自我效能感在第二语言学术写作中起着核心作用。然而，关于技术相关因素和情绪如何共同塑造第二语言学术写作学习者自我效能感的研究却很少。本研究运用控制价值理论和自我效能感理论，探讨了二语学术写作中大语言模型（LLM）接受、享受、焦虑和自我效能感之间的关系。共有643名中国英语研究生参与了这项研究，数据通过在线问卷收集。采用结构方程模型来检验假设的直接和间接关系。直接效应分析结果显示，LLM接受正向预测自我效能、享受和焦虑。此外，享受正向预测自我效能，而焦虑负向预测自我效能。间接效应分析结果进一步表明，在LLM接受与自我效能之间，享受是互补中介，而焦虑是竞争中介。这些发现强调了法学硕士接受度塑造自我效能的双重情感途径，并为在第二语言学术写作环境中培养学生的自我效能提供了教学见解。

Teacher Self-Efficacy, a key psychological construct grounded in Bandura's social cognitive theory, is critical in shaping instructional effectiveness, motivation, and professional development. Understanding the cognitive and knowledge-based antecedents of self-efficacy is particularly important during early teacher training. This study examines the extent to which pre-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) predicts their teaching self-efficacy. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, integrating quantitative data from standardized TPACK and Teacher Self-Efficacy scales (N = 271) with qualitative data from focus group discussions. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) via SmartPLS was used to analyze predictive relationships, while thematic analysis explored participants' perceptions. The findings indicate a significant positive association between overall TPACK and teacher self-efficacy. Among the TPACK dimensions, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) was the strongest predictor, followed by Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), while Technological Knowledge (TK) and Content Knowledge (CK) were non-significant. Qualitative findings revealed structural and contextual barriers to technology integration, including limited integrated training, insufficient hands-on experience, technological usability challenges, and unclear policies regarding technology use. These findings advance the psychological understanding of teacher development by identifying the specific cognitive knowledge domains that underlie self-efficacy beliefs and by highlighting systemic obstacles that hinder their enactment. The study advocates for a more integrated and practice-oriented approach to EFL teacher education to enhance both instructional competence and psychological readiness for technology- integrated classrooms.

教师自我效能感是建立在班杜拉社会认知理论基础上的一种重要的心理建构，对塑造教学效果、动机和专业发展至关重要。在早期教师培训中，理解自我效能感的认知和基于知识的前因尤为重要。本研究探讨职前英语教师的技术教学内容知识（TPACK）对其教学自我效能感的预测程度。采用解释性序列混合方法设计，整合标准化TPACK和教师自我效能量表（N = 271）的定量数据和焦点小组讨论的定性数据。结构方程模型（SEM）通过SmartPLS分析预测关系，而主题分析探讨参与者的看法。研究结果表明，总体TPACK与教师自我效能感之间存在显著的正相关。在TPACK各维度中，技术教学内容知识（TPCK）是最显著的预测因子，其次是教学内容知识（PCK）和技术内容知识（TCK），而技术知识（TK）和内容知识（CK）不显著。定性研究结果揭示了技术集成的结构和背景障碍，包括有限的综合培训、实践经验不足、技术可用性挑战以及关于技术使用的不明确政策。这些发现通过识别构成自我效能感信念基础的特定认知知识领域和强调阻碍其形成的系统性障碍，促进了对教师发展的心理学理解。本研究主张采用一种更加综合和以实践为导向的方法来进行英语教师教育，以提高教学能力和心理准备，以适应技术一体化的课堂。

Objective

Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) includes persistent cognitive, affective, and physical symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study proposes a 6-week virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive intervention to improve cognitive-affective functions in individuals with PCC and presents initial results through a case report.

Method

A 46-year-old female with PCC completed a 6-week immersive VR-based cognitive intervention. Neuropsychological and psychological assessments occurred at baseline, after VR intervention (2-month follow-up), and at 5-month follow-up. The VR intervention included cognitive activities and diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Immersion, presence, cybersickness and other aspects of the VR experience were systematically evaluated.

Results

The patient showed improvements in attention, executive functions, processing speed and performance in VR cognitive games. Reductions in perceived cognitive deficits and depression, along with enhanced functional status, resilience, self-esteem and emotional flexibility, were observed. However, anxiety and life satisfaction exhibited unexpected trends. The participant reported high satisfaction with the VR intervention and no notable cybersickness symptoms.

Conclusions

This study contributes to the limited literature on VR interventions for PCC, showcasing its potential in neuropsychological rehabilitation and proposing a possible rehabilitation protocol.
