The Relationship between Social Support and Subjective Well-being in Junior Board Students in Rural: The Mediation Effect of Loneliness and its Intervention LIN Qiongfang, WEI Yandan, OUYANG Mingkun Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (3):  172-181.  Abstract ( 177 )   PDF（pc） (660KB) ( 385 )   Save To explore the relationship between social support and subjective well-being in junior board students in rural, the mediating effect of loneliness on this association, and the effect of group psychological counseling intervention for loneliness, two studies were conducted. In study one, measures of Social Support Scale, Subjective Well-being Scale, and Loneliness Scale were administrated to 990 junior board students in rural. Results showed that loneliness partially mediated the association between social support and subjective well-being. In study two, the effect of group psychological counseling intervention for loneliness was examined. 24 junior students with higher levels of loneliness were selected with 12 students being randomly selected as the experimental group, and the others being selected as the control group. Results showed that the loneliness after group psychological counseling intervention was lower than that before intervention in experimental group, and the subjective well-being after group psychological counseling intervention was higher than that before intervention. While for the control group, there were no significant differences in the loneliness and subjective well-being between the pre-test and post-test. These findings can benefit the understanding of how to improve subjective well-being in junior board students in rural. Related Articles | Metrics

The Relationship between Work Connectivity Behaviour After Hours and Couple Burnout WANG Yating, HAN Yin, DU Xiufang Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (3):  182-192.  Abstract ( 150 )   PDF（pc） (803KB) ( 381 )   Save This study constructs a moderated mediator model to explore the influence mechanism of WCBA on couple burnout. Based on the conservation of resources theory and spillover-crossover model and after conducting the work connectivity behaviour after hour scale, work-family conflict scale, dyadic coping inventory, and couple burnout measure, 1,620 married persons were recruited as participants. The results illustrated that (1) WCBA had a significant positive predictive effect on couple burnout and work-family conflict; (2) work-family conflict mediated the relationship between WBCA and couple burnout; and (3) dyadic coping moderated the effect of work-family conflict on couple burnout. This provides guidance for reducing the negative impact of WCBA on marital burnout. Related Articles | Metrics
