The study found that: (1) volunteering, formal and informal volunteering significantly and positively predicted cognitive function; (2) attitudes towards aging partially mediated the relationship between formal volunteering and cognitive function; and(3) depressive symptoms partially mediated the relationship between informal volunteering and cognitive function. The findings have important implications for delaying and improving cognitive function in older adults. Related Articles | Metrics

Socioeconomic Status and Mental Health in College Students:The Role of Consumption Guilt PENG Ziyue, LI Yue, FANG Jinwen, SU Jinlong Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (10):  588-598.  Abstract ( 45 )   PDF（pc） (1012KB) ( 51 )   Save To examine the role of consumption guilt between socioeconomic status and mental health in college students, 560 college students’data of subjective and objective socioeconomic status, anticipatory and reactive consumption guilt, depression, anxiety, and subjective well-being were collected with self-reported questionnaires. Results showed that: (1) The objective socioeconomic status could influence depression and anxiety in college students through anticipatory consumption guilt, but it did not affect subjective well- being; (2) The objective socioeconomic status could in?uence depression, anxiety and well-being in college students through reactive consumption guilt. Overall, objective socioeconomic status causes an effect on college students' mental health via guilt feelings in consumption, and the e?ect varies with sub types of guilt feelings and mental health indicators.

These results show the mechanism of cumulative family risk a?ecting self-injury behavior in junior middle school students, o?ering practical insights for preventing self-injury behavior.

Intergenerational Parenting Stress and Sleep Quality in Older Adults:A Moderated Mediation Model WANG Qian, YANG Yuran, DAI Weizhu, DU Xiaoxin Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (10):  620-628.  Abstract ( 30 )   PDF（pc） (957KB) ( 23 )   Save This study explored the relationship between intergenerational parenting stress and sleep quality in older adults, examining the mediating role of emotional balance and the moderating role of trait mindfulness. Using the Grandparenting Stress Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, data were collected from 353 older adults engaged in intergenerational parenting in Shanghai. The results revealed: (1) Intergenerational parenting stress significantly predicted sleep quality in older adults, with emotional balance partially mediating this relationship; (2) Both the direct and indirect paths linking intergenerational parenting stress to sleep quality were moderated by trait mindfulness, such that the direct effect and indirect effect were weaker among individuals with high trait mindfulness compared to those with low trait mindfulness. These findings suggest that intergenerational parenting stress influences older adults' sleep quality through both a direct pathway and an indirect pathway mediated by emotional balance, while trait mindfulness functions as a protective moderator.
