Despite existing studies showing that relative deprivation is a risk factor for migrant populations' social withdrawal, the underlying mechanisms are largely unclear. The current study used a moderated mediation model to investigate perceived social support as a possible mediator and in-group identity as a possible moderator in the relationship between relative deprivation and social withdrawal. A large sample of 1772 Chinese migrant adolescents completed questionnaires that measured relative deprivation, social withdrawal, perceived social support, and in-group identity. Relative deprivation was significantly and positively correlated with migrant adolescents' social withdrawal, and perceived social support partially mediated this relationship. Moreover, in-group identity moderated the indirect effect of relative deprivation on social withdrawal via perceived social support, with a high level of in-group identity weakening the association between relative deprivation and perceived social support. It is recommended that parents and educators pay closer attention to adolescents' perceived social support and in-group identity to provide appropriate interventions., Author(s): Meng Xiong [sup.1] [sup.2] , Zhi-qin Hu [sup.1] , Yi-duo Ye [sup.3] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.410654.2, 0000 0000 8880 6009, Department of Psychology, School of Education and Sports Sciences, [...]

This study explored the chain mediating effects of rumination and anxiety in the relationship between online risky behavior and sleep quality among Chinese college students. A sample of 1039 Chinese college students (Mage = 19.49, SD = 1.14, 53.32% males) were investigated with Online Risky Behavior Scale (ORBS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale (PSQI), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The results showed that: (1) There is a significant positive correlation among online risky behavior, sleep quality, rumination and anxiety, and (2) Online risky behavior could not directly affect sleep quality, but it can affect sleep quality through the mediation of rumination and anxiety. The chain mediating effects includes three paths: The mediating role of rumination, the mediating role of anxiety, and the chain mediating role of rumination and anxiety after controlling for gender, grade, major, and network usage time. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how online risky behavior affects sleep quality and provide important practical guidance for improving sleep quality., Author(s): Wen-Fu Qiu [sup.1] , Jian-Ping Ma [sup.2] , Zhen-Yu Xie [sup.1] , Xiao-Tong Xie [sup.1] , Cong-Xing Wang [sup.1] , Yi-Duo Ye [sup.1] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.411503.2, 0000 0000 [...]

Influenced by governmental policy, school psychological services in the Chinese mainland are a recent phenomenon with a history of only about 20 years, which can be divided into two stages: "exploration" and "development." To give a comprehensive account of the development of school psychological services in the Chinese mainland, this article reviews their developmental history, analyses their status quo and features, identifies some contemporary problems, and suggests possible directions for the future development.
