Most previous studies have focused mainly on the influence of external interventions (such as moral climate, moral education, and training) on students' moral sensitivity. However, few studies have explored the impact of self‑leadership on promoting moral sensitivity. Based on social cognitive theory, this study aimed to explore the relationship between self‑leadership and moral sensitivity among medical college students and compare the differences between medical students and nursing students. This study is a cross-sectional study. A total of 479 medical college students from China were investigated via self‑leadership scale and moral sensitivity scale. Pearson's correlation analysis, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and a group comparison test in Mplus 7.4 were conducted. The results showed that self‑leadership has a significant effect on moral sensitivity and major is a significant moderator in this relationship. Specifically, although medical students' moral sensitivity is greater than that of nursing students, the effect of self‑leadership on the moral sensitivity of nursing students is greater than on that of medical students. These results put forwards feasible opportunities for improving the moral sensitivity of medical students, which has important impacts on medical ethics education.

Language is a defining characteristic of humans, playing a crucial role in both species evolution and individual development. While traditional views, such as Chomsky's, emphasize language's dual functions in sensorimotor externalization and conceptual-intentional thought, its broader role as a modulator of cognitive and neurological systems remains underexplored. Here, we propose that language, due to its profound, accessible, and widespread neurological activation, serves as a pivotal modulator of these systems. This perspective provides new insights into the interconnection between language, cognition, and brain function, and points to novel therapeutic pathways that leverage the modulating capabilities of language for cognitive enhancement and neurological rehabilitation.

This study examines the influence of person-organization (PO) fit on employee engagement (EE) within Thailand's logistics industry, emphasizing the mediating role of a psychological contract (PC). As the logistics sector undergoes rapid growth, aligning employees' values with organizational priorities is becoming critical. Employees with a high PO fit are likely to exhibit positive attitudes and behaviors, contributing significantly to organizational success. This research investigates the extent to which a PC, representing mutual expectations and obligations, mediates the relationship between PO fit and EE. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data collected from 400 employees across various logistics firms in Thailand to test the proposed hypotheses. Our findings show that a strong PO fit enhances EE, both directly and indirectly, through a positive PC characterized by trust and fairness. The results suggest that fostering a high PO fit and maintaining a positive PC are essential for sustaining EE and reducing turnover intentions. This study provides valuable insights for logistics firms aiming to enhance workforce commitment and performance in a competitive environment.

Objects
The prevalence of mobile gaming addiction (MGA) has risen as a result of technical advancements that have made it more portable and handier. Emotional distress and a decline in inhibitions might worsen addictions. The study sought to examine the physiological and neuropsychological indicators of MGA.
Methods
Following the examination of the online activities of 1774 students in their first year, we recruited 13 participants with MGA and 27 controls, utilizing the internet gaming disorder test (IGDT) and problematic mobile gaming questionnaire (PMGQ). They filled daily executive function scale (DEFS), brief symptom rating scale-50 (BSRS-50), and behavior inhibition/activation scale (BIS/BAS). The Iowa gambling task (IGT-2), Stroop color-word test (SCWT), and the digit-span of the Wechsler intelligence scale were administered. The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was measured at baseline, playing mobile games, and recovery condition. The independent t-test and repeated-measures ANOVA were used for analysis.
Results
There were similar demographics between groups. The MGAs exhibited reduced inhibitions in SCWT, decreased DEFS, less total money in IGT-2, and elevated distress in BSRS. Both groups showed decreased SDNN, very low frequency, and total power during gameplay. However, the F-test indicated interaction effects of the proportion of NN50 divided by total number of NNs and high-frequency during gameplay, indicating an elevated state for MGAs than controls.
Conclusion
MGAs exhibit lower executive function, inhibition, and increased negative mood. The MGAs decreased in HRV during gaming, suggesting potential connections to impaired inhibitory control and stress-related responses. Further study is needed to clarify the mechanisms that contribute to MGA and differentiate it from broader frameworks of internet addiction.

In the increasingly competitive service industry, organizations require frontline employees to deliver customer service while simultaneously driving sales to enhance overall performance. However, employees face significant challenges in balancing these dual tasks. Grounded in social exchange theory, this study adopts a cross-level analysis to examine how group-level self-sacrificial leadership fosters employees' service-sales ambidextrous behavior through leader-member exchange (LMX), harmonious passion and shared vision. Employing structural equation modeling on data collected from 312 employees and their leaders across 20 companies, the findings reveal that self-sacrificial leadership directly promotes service-sales ambidextrous behavior and exerts an indirect influence through LMX and harmonious passion. Moreover, a shared vision within groups significantly enhances the positive effects of LMX and harmonious passion on employees' ambidextrous behavior. These findings highlight key mechanisms underlying the development of service-sales ambidextrous behavior and offer practical insights for organizations to foster flexibility and improve performance in dynamic and high-pressure environments.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative tool in addressing sustainability challenges in the construction industry. While Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative technology for advancing sustainability, its adoption in China faces significant challenges. This study integrated the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to analyze the factors influencing BIM adoption in green building projects in China. Data were collected from 588 Chinese practitioners and researchers through online and offline questionnaires using a purposive sampling method. The findings revealed that Perceived Environmental Concern, Behavioral Intention, and Perceived Behavioral Control were the most critical factors influencing BIM adoption in green buildings. Additionally, the study demonstrated that BIM system quality, information quality, and system services significantly influenced the perceived usability and ease of use of BIM systems, which were essential for shaping users' acceptance of the technology in green building applications. These findings highlighted the importance of addressing environmental awareness, fostering positive behavioral intentions, and ensuring adequate resources, technical support, and system optimization to enhance BIM implementation. This research provides actionable recommendations for improving BIM adoption in green buildings, contributing to sustainable practices within the construction industry. By aligning with China's carbon reduction goals, the study offers valuable insights to guide policymakers and industry stakeholders in promoting the broader adoption of BIM technology for sustainable development.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Parental Self-Efficacy to Manage Child's Online Risk Behaviors Scale (PSEMCORBS). The study included 249 adolescents (122 adolescents with ADHD recruited from child psychiatry outpatient clinics in Taiwan and 127 adolescents without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] recruited through online advertising; mean age [SD] = 13.77 [2.10] years) and their parents (N = 249, mean age [SD] = 47.14 [4.89] years). This study examined the PSEMCORBS's factor structure by using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), internal consistency by using McDonald's ω, concurrent validity by evaluating its correlations with adolescents' internet addiction severity, time spent on internet, and internalizing and externalizing problems, and known-group validity by comparing parental self-efficacy between parents of adolescents with and without online risk behaviors as well as between parents of adolescents with and without ADHD. The EFA results indicate that the 23-item PSEMCORBS has three factors, including monitoring, intervention, and parental reasoning. The overall PSEMCORBS and its three factors had excellent internal consistency (McDonald's ω: ranging from 0.922 to 0.958). The overall PSEMCORBS was significantly associated with children internet addiction severity, time spent on internet, child internalizing problem, and child externalizing problem (all p < 0.02). Parents of the children without online risk behaviors reported significantly higher scores on the entire PSEMCORBS and three factors than did those of the children with online risk behaviors (all p < 0.05). Parents of the children without ADHD reported significantly higher score than did those of the children with ADHD in the factor of parental reasoning (p < 0.05). The PSEMCORBS is considered a valuable and reliable tool in the study of parental self-efficacy to manage adolescents' online risk behaviors.

This study investigated the effects of occupational stress, burnout, and change fatigue on quiet quitting among teachers. The study adopted a cross-sectional design and hierarchical regression analysis. The sample was reached through convenience sampling method and included 366 teachers (185 male [50.5 %] and 181 female) aged between 21 and 59 years (M = 36.25, SD = 6.13). Data were collected using the Quiet Quitting Scale (QQS), Perceived Occupational Stress Scale (POSS), Job-Related Emotional Exhaustion Scale (J-REES), Change Fatigue Scale (CFS), and a demographics information form. The analysis was conducted on the SPSS 25. The findings suggested positive and significant relationships among occupational stress, burnout, change fatigue, and quiet quitting. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that occupational stress, burnout, and change fatigue explained 35 % of the variance in quiet quitting. The findings also suggested that higher levels of occupational stress, burnout, and change fatigue significantly and positively influenced quiet quitting, identifying them as its predictors. These findings highlight the significance of implementing programs and interventions to reduce occupational stress, burnout, and change fatigue among teachers and mitigate quiet quitting.

Social enterprises (SEs) are instrumental in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing persistent social, environmental, and economic challenges. However, the lack of validated frameworks to measure SE sustainability limits their ability to measure and strengthen their sustainable performance, which further hinders the capacity to drive transformative change as intended by the SDGs. Hence, this study aims to develop and validate a multidimensional scale for measuring the sustainability performance of SEs, enabling them to realise their potential and enhance their contributions to the SDGs. This study utilized (Churchill, 1979) three-phase methodology to develop and validate sustainability performance measurement scale for SEs. Phase 1 identified sustainability-related items through a literature review and qualitative analysis, finalized by an expert panel. Phase 2 refined these items using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on 149 SEs (sample 1) data. Phase 3 validated the structure with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on data from 435 SEs (sample 2). The final scale included 36 items across five dimensions: social, economic, environmental, political, and governance, subject to the validity and reliability of the newly developed scale. Reliability was confirmed, with Cronbach's alpha exceeding 0.7 for all dimensions. Convergent validity was supported by AVE scores above 50 %, while HTMT ratios below 0.85 established discriminant validity. This research significantly contributes to the literature on SE sustainability by providing a validated performance measurement tool, which enables SEs to optimize their operations, strengthen their impact, and contribute more effectively to the SDGs.

Phase 3 validated the structure with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on data from 435 SEs (sample 2). The final scale included 36 items across five dimensions: social, economic, environmental, political, and governance, subject to the validity and reliability of the newly developed scale. Reliability was confirmed, with Cronbach's alpha exceeding 0.7 for all dimensions. Convergent validity was supported by AVE scores above 50 %, while HTMT ratios below 0.85 established discriminant validity. This research significantly contributes to the literature on SE sustainability by providing a validated performance measurement tool, which enables SEs to optimize their operations, strengthen their impact, and contribute more effectively to the SDGs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"254 ","pages":"Article 104807"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143422597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective
As competition in the job market intensifies, the phenomenon of delayed employment is becoming increasingly prevalent. This study employs social cognitive occupational theory to examine how family support influences the intention to delay employment via psychological resilience and career efficacy, elucidating the chain mediation effect and offering a novel perspective on understanding delayed employment.
Methods
A total of 605 students from various educational institutions and academic levels across China participated in this study by completing an online survey. The assessment involved the Family Support Scale, Resilience Scale, Career Choice Efficacy Scale, and Delayed Employment Intention Scale. Linear regression analysis was utilized for data analysis and hypothesis testing, with the goal of uncovering the correlations and influence pathways among the four variables.
Results
Family support was found to predict a willingness to delay employment. Both resilience and career choice efficacy were identified as partially mediating the relationship between family support and the intention to delay employment. Specifically, family support impacts the intention to delay employment through both resilience and career choice efficacy.
Conclusions
This research, encompassing 605 participants, analyzed the interconnections among family support, resilience, career choice efficacy, and the intention to delay employment. It aimed to delineate the mediating roles of resilience and efficacy in the relationship between family support and delayed employment intentions. The findings affirm that family support can predict a willingness to delay employment, and both resilience and career choice efficacy serve as mediators in this relationship.
