This study aimed to explore the characteristics of parent-adolescent emotional communication patterns from the perspectives of both parents and adolescents and to further examine their relationships with adolescent depressive symptoms. A mixed methods exploratory sequential design was used. In the qualitative phase, 21 parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents aged 15.

While existing studies have largely depicted turnover as a consequence of dissatisfaction and have identified negative indirect relationships, this study seeks to challenge that perspective by proposing that, in today's boundaryless career environment, people also engage in voluntary turnover for career advancement. Using a self-regulation career management model, we propose that proactive employees set ambitious career goals influenced by career aspirations, leading them to seek external opportunities and thus exhibit higher turnover intention.

We propose that perceived overqualification elicits two subjective cognitions, namely, perceived control and psychological entitlement, which further lead to public employees' behaviors through approach (organizational citizenship behavior) and avoidance (workplace deviance behavior) tendencies. A total of 421 public employees participated in the three-stage time-lag investigation.

Here, we tested whether and how fearful emotion affects the basic visual ability of visual acuity. An adapted Posner's spatial cueing task was employed, with fearful and neutral faces as cues and a Vernier discrimination task as the probe.

Because humans constantly experience and react to ambient temperature, we propose that temperature is a crucial environmental factor that is associated with individuals' habitual behavioural patterns and, therefore, with fundamental dimensions of personality.

We used a 2 (stock chooser: self, other) × 2 (stock owner: self, other) within-subject design to represent four types of chooser-owner relationships. Brain potentials were recorded while participants observed increasing and decreasing stock prices.

In the current research, we proposed that autonomy would impact the mere choice effect. We conducted two studies to examine the hypothesis.

We argue that the reverse emotions, such as gloating or schadenfreude, may also emerge in certain circumstances. To examine this theory, we recorded feedback-related negativity (FRN) toward others' large or small gains or losses in a stock market context.
