Objective:
To explore the mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children, so as to provide the reference for the promotion of children's mental health.
Methods:
Students of grades 2-6 in two public primary schools in Linping District, Hangzhou City and their parents were investigated using stratified sampling method in November 2022. Emotions of children were surveyed using Depression Self-Rating Scale for Child (DSRSC) and Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), while emotions and hostile attribution bias of parents were surveyed using Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Social Cognitive Screening Questionnaire (SCSQ). Mediating effect of parental hostile attribution bias on depression and anxiety between parents and children was analyzed using a structural equation model.
Results:
Totally 300 questionnaires were allocated, and 263 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 87.67%. There were 137 boys (52.09%), and 126 girls (47.91%), with a mean age of (9.95±1.44) years. There were 69 fathers and 194 mothers investigated. The prevalence of depression among parents was 27.00%, the prevalence of anxiety among parents was 4.18%, and the median score of hostile attribution bias was 1.00 (interquartile range, 2.00). The prevalence of depression among children was 11.03%, and the prevalence of anxiety among children was 29.66%. Parents' depression and anxiety affected children's depression and anxiety directly (effect value=0.270, 95%CI: 0.131-0.436), and also indirectly affected children's depression and anxiety by increasing their hostile attribution bias (effect value=0.028, 95%CI: 0.004-0.082), with the mediating effect contributed 9.40% of the total effect.
Conclusion
Parents' depression and anxiety affect children's depression and anxiety directly or indirectly through hostile attribution bias.

Objective :
To construct a visual literacy evaluation system for pupils by Delphi expert consultation method(Delphi method).
Methods :
The visual literacy evaluation indices for pupils were preliminarily constructed through literature review. Twenty experts in relevant fields were invited and the visual literacy evaluation system for pupils was established by two rounds of expert consultation based on Delphi method.
Results :
The average age of 20 experts was(48.35±5.79)years old,of which 19 experts had senior titles,and 17 experts had master's degree or above. The enthusiasm of the experts in two rounds of consulting was both 100.00%. The average authoritative coefficient(W)of the experts was 0.88. For the first consulting round,the W of importance scores from experts was 0.91(P<0.01);the W of operability scores from experts was 0.89(P<0.01),which indicated satisfactory consistency. For the second consulting round,the W of importance scores from experts was 0.79(P<0.01);the W of operability scores from experts was 0.77(P<0.01),which also indicated satisfactory consistency. The finalized visual literacy evaluation system for pupils after two rounds of expert consultation included three primary indices(eye care knowledge literacy,eye care attitude literacy and eye care behavior literacy),six secondary indices(basic knowledge,eye care behavior,eye care attitude,eye care willingness,bad eye care behavior and eye protection)and 40 tertiary indices(≥5.0 of eyesight among normal people,always wearing glasses due to poor eyesight and so on).
Conclusion
The experts who participated in the construction of visual literacy evaluation system for pupils had strong professional representativeness,high enthusiasm,high authority and good coordination,and the evaluation system can be used for evaluating pupils visual literacy.
