When time and self-control collide: The moderating role of procrastination in the relationship between circadian functioning and depressive symptoms.
Depression is highly prevalent and increasingly linked to circadian functioning and self-regulation. Yet little is known about how specific behaviors, such as procrastination, interact with chronotype dimensions to influence vulnerability to depressive symptoms. This study examined whether procrastination moderates associations between multidimensional chronotype and depressive symptoms in a large adult sample (N = 3606, aged 20-60). Participants completed self-report measures of chronotype, depressive symptoms, procrastination, and conscientiousness. Chronotype was assessed across three dimensions: Morning Affect (MA), Eveningness (EV), and Distinctness (DI). Results showed that lower MA and higher DI - reflecting greater daily energy fluctuations - were strong predictors of depressive symptoms. Procrastination significantly moderated these relationships by increasing overall levels of …

Thoughts and emotions evoked by thinking about own death: American versus Japanese undergraduates.
The prompts "What emotions does the thought of your own death arouse in you?" and "What will happen to you when your body dies?" have been used to induce anxiety in Terror Management Theory. The current study investigated how the responses to these prompts may reveal cross-national differences by using a text-mining approach. Undergraduates in the US (n = 298) and Japan (n = 212) participated in the study. Across both groups, anxiety was the most common emotion. Cross-national differences also emerged, such that students in the US were more likely to mention sadness, funeral, and religiosity for the first prompt, and acceptance, spiritual change, and religiosity for the second prompt. Students in Japan were more likely to mention regret for the first, and sadness, emptiness, and funeral for the second prompt. Results revealed differences and similarities in thoughts and emotions people a…

Children's emotion understanding and attachment security to mothers and fathers across the transition to siblinghood.
The transition to siblinghood represents a period of adjustment for parents and firstborn children, influencing child-parent attachment relationships and children's emotional development. This study examined the longitudinal bidirectional relations between firstborn children's emotion understanding and their attachment security to their mothers and fathers during this transition. Firstborn children (N = 230, 55% girls/45% boys, 86% White, 5% Black, 3% Asian, 4% Latinx, and Mage = 29.75 months) completed the Emotion Understanding in Early Childhood scale, and both mothers and fathers completed the Attachment Q-Set at three time points: prenatal, 4, and 12 months after the birth of an infant sibling. Structural equation modeling revealed that firstborn children's attachment security to mothers was associated with their emotion understanding before the sibling's birth. However, we found no …

From inspiration to restoration: Moral elevation as a catalyst for improving intergroup relations in contexts of conflict.
Existing research examining the creation of positive and prosocial interpersonal relations has established moral elevation as an approach-oriented emotion to be associated with a range of positive and prosocial outcomes. In this article and with the goal to identify emotional mechanism for improving intergroup relations in contexts of conflict, we examined the effects of moral elevation on enhancing intergroup relations. Across four experimental studies (Ns = 1,131), conducted in four understudied countries directly affected or threatened by intergroup conflict, we demonstrated that induced moral elevation elicits important cognitive and emotional shifts toward adversarial groups, resulting in improved intergroup relations. Specifically, we show that inducing moral elevation through stories of outgroup moral exemplars (individuals who have risked their life to save the life of an outgrou…

StreetArt4Sustainability dataset: Mapping aesthetic emotions to street art.
A novel dataset of 556 street art images is presented, accompanied by affective evaluations from 1,239 Portuguese and Brazilian participants. Artworks were selected to reflect themes associated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Using a stimulus-sampling design, each participant completed an online survey in which 10 randomly selected artworks were presented and reported their responses in terms of valence, arousal, and specific emotion labels (being moved, awe, inspiration, hope, sadness, fear, anger, emotional connection, reflection, awareness, and interest), as well as their interest in street art and sustainability consciousness. Multilevel analyses showed that higher interest in street art and greater sustainability consciousness were consistent predictors of more positive emotional responses to the artworks. In contrast, the effects of gender and age were neglig…

Associations between birdsong environments and momentary human affective wellbeing: evidence from real-world.
Background: Exposure to birdsong environments benefits mental health. Different types of birdsongs vary in their capacity to promote positive affect; however, the underlying physical acoustic mechanisms within these complex ecological contexts are not yet understood.
Methods: From March 2020 to May 2025, 2,088 participants contributed 11,631 assessments via the smartphone-based Urban Mind platform. Each assessment included self-reported momentary affective states and an audio recording of the surrounding environment. Seventy-six acoustic features characterising birdsong were extracted and screened via univariable and correlation analyses. Associations between birdsong exposure, acoustic features and momentary affective wellbeing were examined using mixed-effect regression models adjusted for individual- and context-level covariates.
Findings: Exposure to birdsong environments was associa…

Unveiling the nature and attributes of self-forgiveness in young Indian adults: insights from thematic analysis.
BACKGROUND: Although interpersonal forgiveness is well studied, there is little research on self-forgiveness. The available research on self-forgiveness is mostly based on interpersonal forgiveness. This study attempts to understand the nature, attributes and dynamics of self-forgiveness. METHODS: The data were collected from 25 adults (aged 18–25 years) enrolled in higher education through a semistructured interview and were thematically analysed. RESULTS: The analysis resulted in six themes illustrating how participants understood self-forgiveness. Theme 1 emphasizes early offense realization, reduced anger, and facing consequences, often leading to guilt influenced by moral upbringing. Theme 2 addresses mental and physical discomfort, including rumination and poor concentration. Theme 3 discusses alleviating negative feelings through future actions and viewing mistakes as growth lesso…

Evaluating emotions in livestock is challenging due to their subjective nature and the lack of robust indicators, especially for positive emotions. We developed experiments across four facilities, all designed to induce positive and negative emotional reactions in n = 124 female domestic pigs tested in a within-subject design. Our goals were to test for robust, non-invasive indicators of short-term emotional responses across pigs representing different ages and breeds and kept in different husbandry conditions. We developed a common ethogram for behavioural recording and standard operating procedures for collecting saliva samples, which were analysed in the same lab to measure short-term changes in cortisol, as an indicator of arousal, and oxytocin, as a putative indicator of valence. We used linear and generalised linear mixed models (LMM/GLMM) to test for effects of predicted differenc…

Does time scarcity amplify high-calorie food preferences in adolescents? The role of analytical thinking and awe.
Although extensive research has demonstrated that time scarcity perception significantly affects behavioral decision-making, its influence on adolescents' high-calorie food choices remains underexplored. Inspired by theoretical frameworks concerning function of scarcity, analytical thinking, and awe, the present study aimed to examine the causal effect of time scarcity perception on adolescents' high-calorie food choice, to examine the mediating role of analytical thinking in this behavioral pattern, and to examine the potential moderating effect of awe emotion on both the primary relationship and the mediating pathway. Four experiments were conducted with adolescents as participants. The results showed that: (1) time scarcity perceptions significantly increased the selection of high-calorie foods; (2) time scarcity perceptions were negatively correlated with analytical thinking; (3) …

There are few studies involving the mechanism of the emotions that consumers experience before a service failure on their willingness to forgive. This research intends to explore the effect of two different types of compassion on the willingness to forgive under uncontrollable and controllable service failure, examine the mediating role of empathy and the moderating role of the type of service failure. This research designed two experiments. Experiment 1 involved 450 voluntary participants and adopted a between-group design (spontaneous compassion vs. neutral emotions) × (controllable service failure vs. uncontrollable service failure). Experiment 2 involved 431 voluntary participants and used a between-subject experimental design (merchant-induced compassion vs. neutral emotions) × (controllable service failure vs. uncontrollable service failure). Results demonstrated that consumers wit…

Behavioral barriers in the management of spinal muscular atrophy: The role of procrastination, regret, and burnout.
Background: Decision-making in complex medical conditions is a cognitively demanding task influenced by clinician-specific behavioral factors. Procrastination, the voluntary delay of intended actions despite foreseeable adverse outcomes, is a self-regulation failure often exacerbated by high-stress clinical environments. This study evaluated the prevalence of procrastination among healthcare professionals (HCPs) managing spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and analyzed its associations with burnout and healthcare-related regret.
Methods: We conducted a non-interventional, cross-sectional, web-based study of HCPs recruited through the Spanish CuidAME registry. Participants were assessed using a battery of validated instruments: the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS), the Regret Intensity Scale (RIS-10), the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS), and a single-item burnout measure. In addi…

Religiousness-happiness links in Türkiye and Jordan: the role of gratitude and envy.
Happiness is central to psychological well-being, yet less is known about the emotional processes that may help account for its association with religiousness in Muslim populations. The present study examined whether gratitude and two forms of envy (malicious and benign) were statistically associated with the relationship between religiousness and happiness among Muslim adults in Türkiye and Jordan. Participants were 812 Muslim adults who completed validated measures of religiousness, happiness, gratitude, and benign and malicious envy. Path analyses showed that religiousness was positively associated with happiness. In addition, higher religiousness was associated with greater gratitude and lower malicious envy, both of which were in turn associated with higher happiness. Benign envy was not significantly associated with either religiousness or happiness and did not show a significant i…

From awe to identity and revisit intention: Evidence from heritage tourism.
Although awe has received increasing attention in tourism research, its role in shaping cultural identity and revisit intention in heritage contexts remains underexplored. This study develops a stimulus-emotion-identity-behavior framework to examine how awe mediates the effects of cultural atmosphere and historical relics on cultural identity and revisit intention. Using survey data from visitors to Mount Tai, China, and structural equation modeling, the results show that both cultural atmosphere and historical relics significantly enhance awe. Awe, in turn, directly and indirectly influences revisit intention through cultural identity, confirming a dual-path mechanism. Psychological engagement strengthens the effect of cultural atmosphere on awe, whereas nostalgia-proneness amplifies the effect of awe on cultural identity. The study contributes by positioning awe as a key mechanism link…

When struggle becomes strength: The psychology of grit, flourishing, and well-being as mediators of motivational intensity in STEM students.
Investment in STEM education is increasing worldwide, but student engagement and retention remain problematic. This highlights the need to understand the psychological processes that underpin motivation, particularly in non-Western nations such as Saudi Arabia, where these objectives are reflected in national development strategies, including Vision 2030. This research examines both direct and indirect hypotheses regarding how grit influences motivational intensity among Saudi university students enrolled in STEM fields, with flourishing and affect balance as potential mediating variables, employing a culturally informed mixed-methods approach. Following a sequential explanatory design, I initially summarised 1050 STEM students' survey responses using PLS-SEM and then conducted qualitative interviews with 20 purposively selected students. Grit, flourishing, positive/negative emotions, an…

Introduction: Awe is a complex emotion unveiling a positive and mixed nature, which resembles the Romantic feeling of the Sublime. It has increasingly become the object of scientific investigation in the last twenty years. However, its underlying brain mechanisms are still unclear. To fully capture its nature in the lab, researchers have increasingly relied on virtual reality (VR) as an emotion-elicitation method, which can resemble even complex phenomena in a limited space. In this work, a multidisciplinary team proposed a novel experimental protocol integrating VR, electroencephalography (EEG), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate the brain mechanisms of this emotion.
Methods: A group of bioengineers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and philosophers designed the SUBRAIN study, a single-center, one-arm, non-randomized interventional study to explore the neural proces…

Associations of 24-hour movement behaviors with emotional and behavioral problems among Chinese adolescents.
Purpose: The role of adherence to the recommendations for 24-hour movement behaviors (24-HMB), including physical activity (PA), screen time (ST), and sleep duration (SLP), in relation to emotional and behavioral problems in Chinese adolescents remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate these associations and explore potential sex differences.
Methods: This school-based cross-sectional study included 15,071 Chinese adolescents with a mean age of 14.53 (SD: 1.65) years. Data on emotional and behavioral problems and 24-HMB (including PA, ST, and SLP) were collected. Analysis was performed using general linear mixed models, with additional sex-stratified analyses conducted.
Results: The number of 24-HMB recommendations met was negatively associated with total difficulties (β estimate=-0.96, 95% CI: -1.07 to -0.85) and positively related to prosocial behavior (β estimate = 0.41, 95% …

Influence of awe on social responsibility in adolescents and the mediating role of social mindfulness.
Previous research has demonstrated that awe can influence corporate social responsibility; however, the mechanism through which awe affects social responsibility among Chinese adolescents remains unclear. According to the Broaden-and-Build theory of positive emotions, individuals may be prompted to take positive actions, such as enhancing social mindfulness, due to the situational stimuli that evoke their sense of awe. Conversely, these positive actions promote the formation of social responsibility. Thus, the present study aims to explore the impact of awe on adolescents' social responsibility and the mediating role of social mindfulness in this relationship using questionnaire-based and experimental approaches. In Study 1, 1370 adolescents completed the Dispositional Awe Scale, the Social Mindfulness Self-Report Scale and the Social Responsibility Scale. The results revealed that dispo…

This study aims to explore the mediation of revenge planning and anger rumination in the associations among face-to-face victimization, cyber victimization, and cyber-displaced aggression. Cyber-displaced aggression occurs when individuals direct their frustration towards innocent parties online due to an inability to retaliate directly. Data were collected from 489 young adults, between the ages of 18 and 25, from a university in the Midwestern United States. Measures included cyber and face-to-face victimization, cyber-displaced aggression, face-to-face displaced aggression, cyber victimization, emotional reactions, like anger rumination, and cognitive reactions, such as revenge planning. One year later, participants completed a questionnaire on cyber-displaced aggression. Results indicated that both forms of victimization predicted increased levels of cyber-displaced aggression one ye…

Stress contributes to the development of psychiatric disorders. We have previously shown that rats with low inherent positive affectivity, assessed by 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USV), are more vulnerable to stress, and that free-fed rats with persistently lower consumption of sucrose are less sensitive. Hence we compared the association of these traits with the effect of chronic stress within a single experiment. Male Wistar rats were classified as of high (HC) or low (LC) positive affectivity based on their average 50-kHz USV response, and as young adults the rats were further divided into high and low sucrose-consuming (HSuc and LSuc, respectively). Four groups comprising twenty rats each were formed, and half of the animals submitted to chronic variable stress (CVS) for 5 weeks. CVS was followed by behavioural tests and ex vivo biochemical analyses. In elevated plus-maze, CVS in…

Buffering effects of amusement and awe on stress responses: Behavioral, physiological, and neural response.
The experience of positive emotions plays a crucial role in promoting mental and physical health. Laboratory studies have suggested that induced positive emotions facilitate stress recovery. However, how recovery from stress by discrete positive emotions temporally changes in psychological and physiological measurements, and what neural mechanisms underlie these processes remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the buffering effects of amusement and awe on stress responses from psychological, physiological, and neural perspectives using photoplethysmography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Sixty-seven college students completed the Montreal Imaging Stress Task and viewed emotion-inducing videos designed to elicit amusement, awe, or neutral emotional states inside an MRI scanner. Our findings demonstrate that amusement and awe had buffering effects on perceived stress…

Awe reduces Chinese adolescents' NSSI urges: The chain-mediating role of meaning in life and ego-depletion, and the moderating role of family function.
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a severe psychological crisis among Chinese adolescents, while NSSI urge is a robust predictor of NSSI. Awe, as a positive emotion, may benefit the prevention of NSSI. However, the relationship between awe and NSSI urges is underexplored. This study examined the effect of awe on NSSI urges and its underlying mechanisms among a large sample of Chinese adolescents with a three-wave panel design (with distinct but related constructs measured at each wave). Participants were 969 middle school students from eastern China. The chain mediation model suggested that awe reduces NSSI urges indirectly by sequentially enhancing meaning in life and decreasing ego-depletion. Family function moderated this model, such that the negative predictive effect of awe and the positive predictive effect of ego-depletion on later NSSI urges were stronger when family functioning…
