Background

China's fertility rate has declined sharply despite two- and three-child policies. While most young adults remain generally willing to have a first child, intentions for a second or third child have decreased significantly, contributing to the current fertility crisis. The fertility intentions of individuals of reproductive age directly influence regional and even national fertility levels by shaping their reproductive behaviors.

Objective

Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior in variable selection, this study examines the factors influencing the fertility intentions of individuals of reproductive age. This research aims to inform policy development and implementation, enhance fertility rates, mitigate population aging, and address the challenges associated with an unbalanced population structure.

Methods

This study evaluated fertility intentions and related factors among reproductive-age youth in Hubei Province through a cross-sectional survey conducted from August 2023 to March 2024, yielding 3684 valid samples via convenience sampling. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used.

Results

Results indicate low fertility intentions for a second or third child among Chinese youth, influenced by overlapping factors. Positive predictors include having existing children and strong social support. Conversely, negative predictors include aging concerns, unstable employment, higher education, work-family conflicts, and robust family support.

Conclusions

Fertility decisions are shaped by a complex interplay of socioeconomic and personal factors. Beyond policy reforms such as the three-child policy, enhancing social support, employment stability, and work–life balance is essential for creating a fertility-friendly environment. China's experience may also offer insights for other countries facing similar demographic and socioeconomic transitions, emphasizing the importance of addressing both structural and psychosocial barriers to higher-order childbearing.

尽管实行了二胎和三胎政策，中国的生育率还是急剧下降。虽然大多数年轻人仍然普遍愿意生第一个孩子，但想要第二个或第三个孩子的意愿大大减少，导致了目前的生育危机。育龄个体的生育意愿通过塑造其生育行为，直接影响区域乃至国家的生育水平。目的以变量选择中的计划行为理论为指导，探讨育龄个体生育意愿的影响因素。本研究旨在为政策制定和实施提供信息，提高生育率，减缓人口老龄化，并解决与人口结构不平衡相关的挑战。方法于2023年8月至2024年3月对湖北省育龄青年进行横断面调查，通过方便抽样的方式获取有效样本3684份，对其生育意愿及其相关因素进行评价。采用单因素和多因素线性回归分析。结果中国青年二孩和三孩生育意愿低，受重叠因素影响。积极的预测因素包括有孩子和强大的社会支持。相反，负面预测因素包括老龄化担忧、不稳定的就业、高等教育、工作-家庭冲突和强大的家庭支持。结论：生育决策受社会经济和个人因素复杂的相互作用影响。除了三孩政策等政策改革外，加强社会支持、就业稳定和工作与生活的平衡对于创造一个有利于生育的环境至关重要。中国的经验也可能为其他面临类似人口和社会经济转型的国家提供启示，强调解决结构性和社会心理障碍对高阶生育的重要性。

This study reports on a naturalistic intervention conducted in a secondary school aimed at enhancing students' use of effective, evidence-based learning strategies grounded in cognitive science—specifically, retrieval practice and the minimization of distractions—under the hypothesis that such training would enhance academic performance. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compared an experimental cohort with a control cohort from the previous academic year. Students in the experimental group reported a higher frequency of evidence-based study strategies and a lower incidence of maladaptive behaviors, such as listening to music while studying. They also achieved higher scores on a post-intervention exam, with even greater differences observed on an unannounced follow-up test administered one week later. Importantly, the effects of the intervention remained significant after controlling for cognitive ability, study time, and pre-intervention test scores. These findings suggest that a brief, scalable, and teacher-led intervention can effectively modify students' study habits and yield measurable improvements in academic achievement.

本研究报告了在一所中学进行的一项自然主义干预，旨在提高学生对基于认知科学的有效循证学习策略的使用，特别是检索练习和最小化干扰，假设这种训练可以提高学习成绩。该研究采用准实验设计，将上一学年的实验队列与对照队列进行比较。实验组的学生报告说，采用循证学习策略的频率更高，而学习时听音乐等适应不良行为的发生率更低。他们在干预后的测试中也取得了更高的分数，在一周后进行的不事先通知的后续测试中观察到更大的差异。重要的是，在控制了认知能力、学习时间和干预前测试分数后，干预的效果仍然显著。这些发现表明，一个简短的、可扩展的、教师主导的干预可以有效地改变学生的学习习惯，并在学业成绩方面产生可衡量的改善。

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed work environments globally, with remote work becoming a more prevalent occupational feature. This study examines the association of different remote work options and extents, as well as technostress, on mental health outcomes (anxiety, depressive symptoms, sleep problems, and stress) during the pandemic in Sweden, taking sex differences into account. Using data from 3660 participants in 2020 and 2022 from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) and guided by an extended job demands-resources (JD-R) model, the study used Bayesian multivariate multilevel modelling to analyze predictors of mental health. Key findings reveal that the option for remote work, even when unused, related to better mental health outcomes. Extent of remote work showed no consistent associations. Technostress predicted mental health problems, with an even stronger association for remote workers—compared to on-site workers—in terms of anxiety. Women reported worse mental health outcomes compared to men; however, these disparities appeared to be driven by other factors than by remote work conditions or childcare. Sweden's unique pandemic policies, including open schools, could have mitigated some stressors associated with caregiving responsibilities. These findings highlight the need for flexible work policies, strategies to manage digital demands, and further investigation into explanatory factors behind sex differences in mental health.

2019冠状病毒病大流行改变了全球的工作环境，远程工作成为一种更加普遍的职业特征。本研究考察了瑞典疫情期间不同远程工作选择和程度以及技术压力与心理健康结果（焦虑、抑郁症状、睡眠问题和压力）的关系，并将性别差异考虑在内。该研究利用瑞典纵向职业健康调查（SLOSH）在2020年和2022年的3660名参与者的数据，并在扩展工作需求-资源（JD-R）模型的指导下，使用贝叶斯多变量多层次模型分析心理健康的预测因素。主要调查结果显示，远程工作的选择，即使在未使用的情况下，也与更好的心理健康结果有关。远程工作的程度没有显示出一致的关联。技术压力预示着心理健康问题，与现场工作者相比，远程工作者在焦虑方面的关联性更强。与男性相比，女性报告的心理健康状况更差；然而，这些差异似乎是由其他因素造成的，而不是由远程工作条件或儿童保育造成的。瑞典独特的流行病政策，包括开放学校，本可以减轻与照顾责任相关的一些压力。这些发现强调了制定灵活的工作政策、管理数字需求的策略以及进一步调查心理健康性别差异背后的解释因素的必要性。

Despite a recent increase in research on language teacher agency, few studies have explored how in-service education programs shape teacher agency for research. Addressing this gap, this case study employs activity theory as a theoretical lens to investigate the dynamic evolution of a college English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher's agency for research within a domestic visiting scholar program in China. Data from semi-structured interviews, reflective summaries, and relevant documents were collected and analyzed using thematic analysis. Two main findings emerged. First, the teacher's agency for research evolved significantly, reflected in: a shift in her agency beliefs from viewing teaching and research as separate to understanding their synergistic integration; a change in her agency practice from overthinking and inaction to critical reading, continuous reflection, and effective time management; and a development in her agency disposition from initial excitement to sustained resolve. Second, this evolution was mediated through her interactions with others, the use of cultural artifacts, and activity-based mediation within the program. This study contributes to the literature on teacher agency and offers practical implications for the design of in-service teacher professional development and teacher education programs.

尽管最近对语言教师代理的研究有所增加，但很少有研究探讨在职教育项目如何塑造教师的研究代理。为了解决这一问题，本案例研究采用活动理论作为理论视角，在中国国内访问学者项目中调查大学英语作为外语（EFL）教师研究机构的动态演变。从半结构化访谈、反思性摘要和相关文件中收集数据，并使用主题分析进行分析。主要有两个发现。首先，教师的研究代理发生了重大变化，体现在：教师的代理信念发生了转变，从认为教学和研究是分开的，到理解它们的协同整合；从过度思考和不作为到批判性阅读、持续反思和有效时间管理的转变；她的代理性格也从最初的兴奋变成了持久的决心。其次，这种演变是通过她与他人的互动、文化文物的使用以及项目中基于活动的调解来调解的。本研究扩充了教师代理的文献，并对在职教师专业发展和教师教育计划的设计提供了实践启示。

Cognitive processes have been extensively examined in the literature concerning normal students across different writing genres to identify how they process writing before producing the final output. However, little is known about children with dyslexia in dictation tasks involving a heritage language that presents challenges due to inconsistencies in orthographic and phonological systems. This study investigated how Arab children with dyslexia cognitively processed writing in Modern Standard Arabic during a dictation task. Thirteen children with dyslexia were recruited to write a text dictated by an instructor, and their cognitive processes (drafting and monitoring) were recorded using keystroke logging software (GGXlog2). The results indicated a high frequency of pauses, with an average duration (5 min, 13 s), suggesting significant hesitation and processing demands. Substantial instances of deletions and insertions were also identified, highlighting the cognitive challenges faced by children with dyslexia and their difficulties in mapping Arabic words that exhibit phonological-orthographic mismatches. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

在关于不同写作体裁的正常学生的文献中，认知过程被广泛研究，以确定他们在产生最终输出之前是如何处理写作的。然而，对于读写困难儿童在涉及传统语言的听写任务中，由于正字法和语音系统的不一致而面临挑战，我们所知甚少。本研究调查了患有阅读障碍的阿拉伯儿童在听写任务中如何认知处理现代标准阿拉伯语的写作。13名患有阅读障碍的儿童被招募来写一篇由老师口授的文章，他们的认知过程（起草和监控）被用键盘敲击记录软件（GGXlog2）记录下来。结果表明，停顿频率高，平均持续时间（5分钟13秒），表明明显的犹豫和加工需求。我们还发现了大量的缺失和插入的例子，突出了有阅读障碍的儿童所面临的认知挑战，以及他们在绘制语音和正字法不匹配的阿拉伯语单词时遇到的困难。讨论了教学意义。

The significance of innovative work behavior has been well established in the literature on human resources and organizational management, particularly within the Chinese information and communication technology sector. However, limited research has simultaneously examined how organizational justice, work engagement, and authentic leadership interact to drive innovation in this fast-paced, high-pressure industry. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory, this study developed a research model to examine the effects of distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice on work engagement, which was conceptualized as a mediating variable. Furthermore, authentic leadership was incorporated as a moderating variable due to its potential to enhance the relationship between work engagement and innovative work behavior. A total of 364 managers and engineers from information and communication technology companies in Guangdong Province, China, participated in this study. The results of the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling analysis indicated that distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice were all significantly related to work engagement. Moreover, work engagement was found to mediate the relationships between the justice dimensions and innovative work behavior, while authentic leadership strengthened the impact of work engagement on innovative work behavior. These findings highlight how fairness-driven engagement, reinforced by authentic leadership, can foster employee innovation within China's rapidly evolving ICT sector. Finally, the limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed.

创新工作行为的重要性已经在人力资源和组织管理的文献中得到了很好的确立，特别是在中国的信息和通信技术部门。然而，有限的研究同时考察了在这个快节奏、高压的行业中，组织公正、工作投入和真实领导力是如何相互作用来推动创新的。本研究以社会交换理论为基础，构建了分配公平、程序公平和互动公平对工作投入影响的研究模型，并将其定义为中介变量。此外，由于真实领导有可能增强工作投入和创新工作行为之间的关系，因此将其作为调节变量纳入研究。共有364名来自中国广东省信息通信技术公司的管理人员和工程师参与了本研究。偏最小二乘结构方程模型分析结果表明，分配公平、程序公平和互动公平与工作投入显著相关。研究发现，工作敬业度在公平感维度与创新工作行为之间起中介作用，而真实领导则强化了工作敬业度对创新工作行为的影响。这些发现凸显了在中国快速发展的ICT行业中，公平驱动的敬业精神，在真诚的领导下得到加强，是如何促进员工创新的。最后，对研究的局限性和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。

In the modern ever-changing organizational environment, where hybrid workplace arrangement is becoming increasingly common, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been used widely, employees tend to face a situation characterized by ambiguity of work and it is difficult to perceive an understanding of role, expectations, and employment. The paper explores the interrelationship between task ambiguity, risk-taking by managers, AI-induced job insecurity, and employee outcomes in a hybrid working environment. This is based on Social Information Processing Theory where we advance a theoretical model that explores how workforce members actively learn and process information in their social context to get through ambiguity and foster resilience. The evidence of the proposed relationships is substantiated by three studies. Study 1 focuses on the way task ambiguity influences active lurking and also job engagement. Study 2 explores with the moderating factor on the relationship among the variables of task ambiguity, active lurking, and job engagement on managerial risk-taking. Study 3 examines how AI-induced job insecurity can moderate the link between task ambiguity and active lurking and job engagement. The results emphasize the need to ensure clear task specification, active lurking, management risk-taking and proactive efforts to reduce the issue of AI-induced job insecurity as factors that enhance employee engagement. The implications of the study are given and recommendations to conduct further research are outlined.

在现代瞬息万变的组织环境中，混合工作场所安排越来越普遍，人工智能（AI）技术得到广泛应用，员工往往面临着工作模糊的情况，难以感知对角色、期望和就业的理解。本文探讨了在混合工作环境中，任务模糊性、管理者的冒险行为、人工智能引发的工作不安全感和员工成果之间的相互关系。这是基于社会信息处理理论，我们提出了一个理论模型，探讨劳动力成员如何积极学习和处理信息在他们的社会背景下，以克服模糊性和培养弹性。三个研究证实了上述关系的证据。研究1关注任务歧义对主动潜伏和工作投入的影响。研究二探讨任务歧义、主动潜伏、工作投入等变量对管理风险承担的影响。研究3探讨了人工智能诱发的工作不安全感如何调节任务模糊性、主动潜伏和工作投入之间的联系。结果强调需要确保明确的任务规范、积极潜伏、管理冒险和积极努力，以减少人工智能引起的工作不安全感问题，作为提高员工敬业度的因素。本文给出了研究的意义，并概述了进行进一步研究的建议。

Panic disorder (PD) is characterized by recurrent panic attacks. The Panic Disorder Dimensional (PD-D) scale assesses PD symptoms severity, serving as an instrument for screening and monitoring treatment effectiveness. This study aims to translate and evaluate the Arabic version of the PD-D scale. A cross-sectional design with 219 participants diagnosed with PD was conducted in Egypt. The scale underwent forward and backward translation. Content validity was reviewed by experts; convergent and discriminant validity were assessed via correlation analyses. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis and multigroup CFA confirmed unidimensional structure and measurement invariance across sex and marital status. The scale showed excellent internal consistency (α = 0.902), strong test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.837), acceptable discriminant validity [r = −0.103, p = .127], and convergent validity [r = 0.500, p < .001]. The Arabic PD-D demonstrates robust psychometric properties for screening and follow-up use in patients with PD.

惊恐障碍（PD）的特征是反复发作的惊恐发作。惊恐障碍维度（PD- d）量表评估PD症状的严重程度，作为筛查和监测治疗效果的工具。本研究旨在翻译和评估阿拉伯语版PD-D量表。在埃及进行了219名被诊断为PD的参与者的横断面设计。量表进行了前后平移。内容效度由专家审核；通过相关分析评估收敛效度和判别效度。信度采用Cronbach’s alpha和重测信度进行检验。验证性因子分析和多组CFA证实了性别和婚姻状况之间的单维结构和测量不变性。量表具有良好的内部一致性（α = 0.902）、较强的重测信度（ICC = 0.837）、可接受的判别效度[r = - 0.103, p = .127]和收敛效度[r = 0.500, p < .001]。阿拉伯PD- d在PD患者的筛查和随访中显示出强大的心理测量特性。

Background

Many women experience anxiety in the postpartum period, often with specific worries related to their newborn. Most existing anxiety questionnaires do not take into account the specific nature of postpartum- and baby-related anxiety symptoms and often omit anxiety-behaviors. Here, we share the process of constructing the Baby-related Anxiety and Behavior Inventory (BABI), a questionnaire catered to the Experience Sampling Method.

Methods

The BABI questionnaire was developed in four different phases: 1) construction of a draft questionnaire, 2) focus groups with mothers (N = 14, 5 groups), 3) focus groups with clinical experts (N = 6, 2 groups), and 4) a pilot study. For the pilot study, mothers (N = 47) completed the BABI questionnaire on their phone 5 times a day for 7 days (35 total). We gathered data on feasibility, compliance rate, completeness and experience of the mothers.

Results

Thematic analyses of the focus groups identified 10 key facets of baby-related anxiety: checking behavior, reassurance, compulsivity, sensitivity to baby cries, fear of becoming like their own parents, fear of hurting baby, feeling judged by others, fear for health of baby, fear of baby becoming parentless, and sleep issues and baby-related nightmares. In general, mothers were very satisfied and showed excellent compliance rates (92 %). Most mothers reported that they would recommend other mothers to participate in a similar study (97.9 %) and that felt the questionnaire covered all aspects of postpartum anxiety.

Discussion

The BABI is a very well-tolerated questionnaire to measure momentary experiences of baby-related anxiety in the postpartum period.

背景：许多妇女在产后经历焦虑，通常是与新生儿有关的特定担忧。大多数现有的焦虑问卷没有考虑到产后和婴儿相关焦虑症状的具体性质，并且经常忽略焦虑行为。在此，我们分享了基于经验抽样法的婴儿相关焦虑与行为量表（BABI）的编制过程。方法：BABI问卷分为4个阶段：1)起草问卷，2)母亲焦点小组（N = 14, 5组），3)临床专家焦点小组（N = 6, 2组），4)试点研究。在初步研究中，母亲（N = 47）在7天内每天用手机完成5次BABI问卷（总共35次）。我们收集了可行性、依从率、完整性和母亲经验的数据。结果：焦点小组的主题分析确定了与婴儿有关的焦虑的10个关键方面：检查行为、安慰、强迫、对婴儿哭声的敏感、害怕变得像自己的父母一样、害怕伤害婴儿、感觉被别人评判、担心婴儿的健康、害怕婴儿失去父母、睡眠问题和与婴儿有关的噩梦。总的来说，母亲们非常满意，并表现出良好的依从率（92%）。大多数母亲报告说，她们会推荐其他母亲参加类似的研究（97.9%），并且认为调查问卷涵盖了产后焦虑的各个方面。讨论：BABI是一种非常容易接受的问卷，用于测量产后与婴儿有关的短暂焦虑体验。

Background

Existing research on psychological contracts predominantly focuses on quantitative studies of organizational management, employee behavior, and leadership styles, with limited exploration of specific occupational groups in specialized settings.

Objective

To understand the current situation of the implementation of the psychological contract between psychiatric nurses and head nurses from a dual perspective, and to provide a basis for promoting the collaboration of nursing teams, improving the quality of nursing, and improving the management of psychiatric nursing.

Methods

A descriptive qualitative research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 8 psychiatric head nurses and 13 psychiatric nurses from a tertiary-level A psychiatric hospital in Henan Province, China. Braun and Clarke's six-step thematic analysis method was used to distill themes.

Results

The study distilled the theme from two dimensions, the psychiatric nurses' perspective psychological contract focuses on subjective commitment and perceived fulfillment of organizational responsibilities, and the psychiatric head nurses' perspective psychological contract emphasizes self-empowerment and psychological contract supply-side management.

Conclusions

The psychological contract of psychiatric nursing teams is not only influenced by personal effort and responsibility, but also by the empowerment of hospital management and organizational culture. It is suggested that the interaction mode should be optimized through management measures such as fairness of work arrangement, empathetic leadership, attention to nurses' invisible contributions, and two-way feedback of the system, so as to improve nurses' sense of professional safety and team cohesion, and then improve work efficiency and nursing quality.

现有的心理契约研究主要集中在组织管理、员工行为和领导风格的定量研究上，对特定职业群体在专业背景下的探索有限。目的从双重视角了解精神科护士长与精神科护士长心理契约的执行现状，为促进护理团队协作、提高护理质量、改进精神科护理管理提供依据。方法采用描述性定性研究方法，对河南省某三级甲等精神病医院8名精神科护士长和13名精神科护士进行半结构化访谈。运用Braun和Clarke的六步主题分析法对主题进行提炼。结果研究从两个维度提炼主题，精神科护士长视角的心理契约强调主观承诺和组织责任的感知履行，精神科护士长视角的心理契约强调自我授权和心理契约供给侧管理。结论精神科护理团队的心理契约不仅受个人努力和责任的影响，还受医院管理层的赋权和组织文化的影响。建议通过公平的工作安排、移情式领导、重视护士无形贡献、制度双向反馈等管理措施，优化互动模式，提高护士的职业安全感和团队凝聚力，进而提高工作效率和护理质量。
