Environmental noise affects our daily functioning in many ways, and the cognitive, motivational, and emotional effects of noise are intertwined. Our task performance under noisy conditions depends on our ability to cope with the noise and our cognitive resources. The process of (failed) coping may wear us out cognitively, lead to learned helplessness, and, consequently, alter the motivation to persist in a task. The direct effect of irrelevant sounds on cognitive functioning in children is relatively well-established, however, the research on the framework of learned helplessness is limited when it comes to children. Learned helplessness can give more insight into effects of environmental noise on learning and child development and how the effects of short-term and long-term exposure interact. A systematic literature review is performed to assess to what extent the current evidence addresses the (interaction) effects of the sound environment on cognition and learned helplessness as measured by motivation in children and young adults up to the age of 21. The search resulted in 8 included papers that addressed both cognition and learned helplessness in their research. The included papers study children between 8-13 years old and show evidence for a relation between environmental noise, cognition, and helplessness individually, but none study a possible interaction. Based on the individual study designs, it could be hypothesized that cognitive fatigue may play a role in the interaction. Studies that conducted motivation tasks after cognitive tasks found stronger effects than those that conducted tasks in a random order. More research is needed using the same methods in different age groups to further assess the interaction between cognition and learned helplessness in relation to the sound environment.

Epidemiological studies have linked fine dust pollution to depression, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are known contributors to depression, but their induction by particulate matter (PM), particularly PM2.5, in animal models has been limited.

On October 7, 2023, terrorist organizations led by Hamas, launched an extensive attack on Israel. Within days following the initial attack, there was a clear need to provide psychological support to individuals who were exposed to the horrors of the October 7 attacks. Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center - Ichilov, a tertiary medical center, launched an emergency mental health service to provide psychological first aid to the first-line victims of the war.

Background: In Chinese higher vocational colleges, students often underperform academically and experience burnout from studying. Developing learning self-efficacy may directly and indirectly address these challenges, and differences in learning self-efficacy between male and female students may have varying effects on their burnout.
Aims: We examined the mediating relationships between learning self-efficacy, learned helplessness and learning burnout among Chinese higher vocational college students, as well as the gender-related differences in these relationships.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether academic burnout alleviates or exacerbates internet dependence among college students with depression and anxiety. Moreover, it intends to construct a moderated mediation model to examine how academic burnout moderates the relationship between depressive and anxious emotions and internet addiction and how social support mediates this relationship to determine the psychological motivations underlying addiction.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted using the simple random sampling method, which yielded 757 valid responses (response rate: a 93.
