Article Synopsis
  • A study using panel data from the China Labor-force Dynamic Survey (CLDS) from 2012 to 2018 examines how the gradual reforms of the Integrated Medical Insurance Scheme (IMIS) affect the happiness of returning migrant workers in China.
  • The research employs a time-varying difference-in-differences (DID) model and a structural equation model to analyze the results, which indicate that IMIS significantly boosts happiness through economic and integration effects.
  • The impact is particularly stronger among younger, high-income, and high-health human capital returning workers, suggesting that ongoing improvements to the health insurance system could enhance overall happiness and promote equality in public services.

Background: Rural-to-urban migrant workers are a vulnerable group at risk of developing depression. Based on the social-ecological systems theory, this study investigates the impact of the lack of social integration on depression, considering the mediating roles of migrant workers' microsystems (family happiness and job burnout). Additionally, the study explores whether having sons influences these associations.

Positive autobiographical memories (AMs) have the potential to repair low mood, but previously depressed individuals have difficulty leveraging their positive AMs for emotion regulation purposes. We examined whether previously depressed individuals benefit from guided, deliberate recollection of preselected AMs to counteract low mood in daily life, utilizing individuals' smartphones to facilitate recollection. Sixty participants enrolled in 2020 were randomly allocated to retrieval of positive or everyday activity AMs and completed ecological momentary assessment of emotional experience for 3 weeks.

Our emotions may influence how we interact with others. Previous studies have shown an important role of emotion induction in generating empathic reactions towards others' affect. However, it remains unclear whether (and to which extent) our own emotions can influence the ability to infer people's mental states, a process associated with Theory of Mind (ToM) and implicated in the representation of both cognitive (e.
