Objective:
To understand the current situation of college students emotional regulation and its correlation with perceived social support, so as to provide a reference for improving emotional regulation ability among college students.
Methods:
From September 15 to October 15, 2022, a total of 15 560 students from 27 colleges and universities in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Shanghai, Anhui, Hebei, Yunnan, Shanxi and Gansu were enrolled by stratified random sampling method. The Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were used to investigate, and multiple stepwise regression was used to explore the relationship between perceived social support and emotion regulation of college students.
Results:
The scores of emotion regulation, cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition were 44(40, 50), 24(20, 28) and 20(19, 24) respectively. There were significant differences in the scores of emotion regulation, cognitive reappraisal and expression inhibition by age, grade, household registration, only child status,cost of living, and sleep ( H/Z =77.72, 49.73, -5.10, -9.77, 7.68, 168.27 ; 204.55, 317.32, -5.96, -7.60, 131.20, 968.08; 82.18, 148.04, -2.30, -8.03, 64.82, 188.08, P <0.05). In addition, the multiple stepwise regression found that family support, friend support, and other support in perceived social support all had a positive impact on the emotional regulation state of college students ( β =0.137,0.207,0.090), and family support and friend support had a significant positive effect on expression inhibition( β =0.079,0.053) and cognitive reappraisal( β =0.153,0.296)( P <0.01).
Conclusion
The perceived social support can directly affect the emotional regulation of college students, and improving the emotional regulation ability has a positive significance to promote the mental health level among college students.

OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutations of fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene in a child with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and explore its molecular pathogenesis.
METHODSThe 66 exons of the FBN1 gene were analyzed by direct sequencing. SIFT and PolyPhen-2 were used to predict the structural and functional changes at the protein level.
RESULTSA novel heterozygous mutation c.3998 G>A (p.Cys1333Tyr) was found in exon 32 in the child. The same mutation was not found among his unaffected family members and 683 healthy controls. Multiple sequence alignment showed that this novel mutation was located in a highly conserved region of the FBN1 protein across various species and may induce structural change to a functional domain.
CONCLUSIONThe novel c.3998G>A (p.Cys1333Tyr) mutation of the FBN1 gene probably predisposed the MFS in the child. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of FBN1 mutations.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship among future self-continuity,family support and meaning in life in college students.Methods:A total of 912 college students(448 males and 464 females)were selected and assessed with the Future Self-Continuity Questionnaire(FSCQ),Family Support Scale(PSS-Fa)and Meaning in Life Questionnaire(MLQ).Results:The average score of FSCQ was(3.3±1.1),and those who were female,25 years old,senior,nonlocal census register,only child had lower FSCQ scores(P<0.001).Regression analysis results showed that the scores of PSS-Fa and the MLQ scores of search for life meaning and presence for life mean-ing were positively correlated with the FSCQ scores(β=0.80,0.69,0.74).Conclusion:The study shows that the future self-continuity is at a medium level and improving family support and meaning in life may help to enhance their future self-continuity in college students.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between health promoting lifestyle and job burnout of college counselors in Shanghai. METHODS: Using stratified cluster sampling method, 294 counselors from 4 colleges were selected and investigated by Maslach Burnout Inventory Educator's Survey and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. RESULTS: The median scores of emotional exhaustion, deindividualization and low sense of achievement of counselors in Shanghai were 3.3, 3.2 and 1.6 respectively. In each dimension, the ratio of moderate burnout were 93.5%, 95.2% and 26.5% respectively. The ratio of high level burnout were 6.5%, 4.8% and 73.5%. The median total score of health promoting lifestyle was 127.1, and the ratio of poor, average and good lifestyle standard was 8.5%, 50.3% and 41.2%.The total score of health promoting lifestyle was negatively correlated with the score of emotional exhaustion and deindividualization(P<0.01) and positively correlated with the score of low sense of achievement(P<0.01). The score of physical exercise, interpersonal relationship, stress management and self realization in health promoting lifestyle had positive predictive effect on the score of emotional exhaustion and deindividualization(P<0.05). The score of physical exercise and self realization had negative predictive effect on the score of low sense of achievement(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of job burnout in college counselors is above the intermediate level. There is a correlation between health promoting lifestyle and job burnout and cultivating a health promoting lifestyle is helpful to alleviate job burnout.

ObjectiveTo investigate the life attitude of and related influencing factors among college students in Shanghai, and provide a reference for strengthening life education for college students. MethodsBased on the stratified cluster random sampling method, 912 college students in Shanghai were investigated with the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation, the Parent-child Closeness Scale, and the Connor-davidson Resilience Scale. ResultsThe scores of father-child closeness, mother-child closeness, psychological resilience, life meaning, and suicidal ideation was (2.79±0.85) (3.10±0.43) (2.70±0.94) (4.93±1.03) (1.69±0.72) among college students of colleges and universities in Shanghai, respectively. There were significant differences in the scores of life meaning and suicide ideation among college students of different ages, grades, and household registration groups (P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the scores of father-child closeness, mother-child closeness, and psychological resilience had positive predictive effects on the score of life meaning (β=0.11,0.13,0.49,P<0.05), and negative predictive effects on the score of suicidal ideation (β=-0.14,-0.08,-0.19,P<0.05). ConclusionOlder, senior, and non-local college students were key groups to focus on in life education. Promoting the realization of close family relationships and parental collaborative parenting, as well as enhancing personal psychological resilience, may help to improve college students’ positive life attitudes.

【Objective】 To investigate the intrinsic relationship of social support and psychological capital with college students’ volunteer motivation in the post-epidemic era so as to provide theoretical basis for formulating policies and measures to increase college students’ participation in volunteer activities. 【Methods】 In March 2022, 1 120 college students from 15 universities in Henan Province were selected by convenient sampling method. Their general information, social support, psychological capital, and volunteer motivation were investigated, and univariate analysis, correlation analysis and intermediary effect analysis were performed. 【Results】 The differences of scores in six dimensions of volunteer motivation (i.e., values, understanding, enhancement, career, social interaction, and self-protection) were statistically significant (F=124.90, P<0.001). There were significant differences in social support level of college students of different genders (t=-2.40, P<0.05), and the difference in volunteer motivation level among different grades of college students was statistically significant (F=6.72, P<0.001). Social support, psychological capital, and volunteer motivation were positively correlated with one another (r=0.41, r=0.35, r=0.50, P<0.001). Part of the intermediary effect of psychological capital between social support and volunteer motivation was significant (intermediary effect value=0.49, 95% CI: 0.39-0.59). 【Conclusion】 Colleges and universities can take corresponding measures to improve college students’ volunteer motivation level by improving social support and psychological capital level.
