Objective:To investigate the relationship between growth mindset and mental health in middle school students,and to explore the intervention effects of growth mindset intervention in different grades and at dif-ferent times after intervention.Methods:Totally 612 middle school students from a certain high school in Xi'an were selected to evaluate their growth mindset and mental health status using the Mental Health Diagnostic Test(MHT)and Implicit Personality Theory Questionnaire(IPT-Q).They were divided into a growth mindset interven-tion group(n=306)and a conventional mental health class group(n=306)using a simple random sampling meth-od.The growth mindset intervention group received an additional 45 minutes of growth mindset class on top of the conventional mental health class.Three factor analysis of variance was used to compare the MHT scores of partici-pants in different grades,groups,and time conditions.Results:There was a negative correlation between IPT-Q scores and MHT scores in middle school students(r=-0.10,P＜0.05).At 4 weeks after intervention,the MHT scores were lower in the growth mindset intervention group than in the conventional mental health class group[(30.8±5.0)vs.(35.9±16.6),P＜0.001].At 4 months after intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in MHT scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that growth mindset inter-vention could improve the mental health status of middle school students in the short term.

Objective:To revise the 5C Psychological Antecedents of Vaccination Scale(5C Scale),and to examine its validity and reliability.Methods:The Chinese version of the adapted scale was formed using the Chi-nese-English back-translation method,along with expert evaluation and interview results.A questionnaire survey was administered to 1 035 residents.The effective recovery results were randomly divided into 2 groups and tested for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.After 2 weeks,230 residents were re-tested.The neuroticism sub-scale of the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version(CBF-PI-B)was used to test the criterion-related validity.Results:The 5C Scale was revised to add a new dimension of confusion,forming the 6C Psychological An-tecedents of Vaccination Scale(6C Scale)with 18 items,6 factors including confidence,complacency,constraint,calculation,collective responsibility and confusion,which accumulatively explained 67.92％of the total vari-ance.And the six-factor structural model fits well(x2/df=1.72,RMSEA=0.04,CFI=0.97,TLI=0.96,NFI=0.92,IFI=0.97).The total scores of the confusion dimension exhibited a positive association with the total scores of CBF-PI-B neuroticism subscale(ICC=0.54,P＜0.001).The Cronbach α coefficients of the 6 factors ranged from 0.68 to 0.77,and the retest reliabilities(ICC)ranged from 0.51 to 0.82.Conclusion:The 6C Psychological Antecedents of Vaccination Scale(6C Scale)revised in this study exhibits good validity and reliability in assessing residents'psychological antecedents related to vaccination.

Objective To investigate the differences in visual perception between children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)and typically developing(TD)children when watching different intention videos,and to explore the feasibility of machine learning algorithms in objectively distinguishing between ASD children and TD children.Methods A total of 58 children with ASD and 50 TD children were enrolled and were asked to watch the videos containing joint intention and non-joint intention,and the gaze duration and frequency in different areas of interest were used as original indicators to construct classifier-based models.The models were evaluated in terms of the indicators such as accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity.Results When using eight common classifiers,including support vector machine,linear discriminant analysis,decision tree,random forest,and K-nearest neighbors(with K values of 1,3,5,and 7),based on the original feature indicators,the highest classification accuracy achieved was 81.90% .A feature reconstruction approach with a decision tree classifier was used to further improve the accuracy of classification,and then the model showed the accuracy of 91.43% ,the specificity of 89.80% ,and the sensitivity of 92.86% ,with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.909(P<0.001).Conclusions The machine learning model based on eye-tracking data can accurately distinguish ASD children from TD children,which provides a scientific basis for developing rapid and objective ASD screening tools.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):151-157]

Background Mindful parenting is related to the physical and mental health of adolescents,but only few empirical studies have been conducted on the mindful parenting and none has addressed on the impact and actor-partner effects of mindful parenting on adolescents' aggressive behaviors via parenting stress.Objective To explore the impact and actor-partner effects of mindful parenting on adolescents' aggressive behaviors via parenting stress,so as to provide references for improvements in family education and interventions on behavioral problems in adolescents.Methods A sample of 907 subjects(including family members and students)from three classes in each of five grades from grade 5 in elementary school to grade 9 in junior high school in Mianyang,Sichuan Province were selected from September 8 to 15,2023.Parents were assessed with Mindfulness In Parenting Questionnaire(MIPQ)and Parenting Stress Index-Short Form(PSI-SF),and students were required to fulfill aggressive behavior scale of Youth Self-Report(YSR).Pearson correlation analysis was utilized to examine the correlation among the above scales.The actor-partner interdependence model was used to analyze the impact of mindful parenting on their own and their spouses' parenting stress,as well as the impact on adolescents' aggressive behaviors via parenting stress.Results A total of 472 families completed the effective questionnaires.Both father and mother's mindful parenting exhibited an actor effect on adolescents' aggressive behaviors via their own parenting stress,with the effect size of-0.018(P=0.002)and-0.026(P=0.012).The partner effect sizes of father's mindful parenting and mother's mindful parenting on adolescents' aggressive behaviors via their spouse's parenting stress were-0.006(P=0.026)and-0.007(P=0.012),respectively.Conclusion Mindful parenting has been proven to have specific indirect impact on adolescents' aggressive behaviors through their own and their spouse's parenting stress,and the actor effect and partner effect are found both significant.

Anhedonia is defined as the reduction of pleasure and reward-seeking behavior,and it is prevalent in approximately two-thirds of individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Numerous empirical studies have consistently demonstrated that anhedonia represents an independent symptom dimension of PTSD.Furthermore,additional investigations have revealed that anhedonia plays a crucial role in the psychopathology of PTSD,contributing to the maintenance of post-traumatic stress responses,as well as more severe functional impairment and reduced therapeutic responsiveness.This paper aims to discuss the definition,psychopathology,genetic mechanisms and neurobiological underpinnings of anhedonia in PTSD,thus providing insights for future research on anhedonic symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intolerance of uncertainty (IU) on state worry, state anxiety, and galvanic skin response in college students with medium and low trait anxiety.Methods:The trait anxiety inventory (TAI) and the intolerance of uncertainty scale (IUS) were used to investigate 1 378 college students in Beijing. A total of 537 individuals with medium or low trait anxiety (TAI score ≤54) were selected, from which high IU individuals (IUS score ≤58) and low IU individuals (IUS score > 58) were selected and allocated to uncertain group ( n=28) and certain group ( n=28) according to gender, age, education level and IU score. The modified NPU paradigm task, the penn state worry questionnaire(PSWQ)and the brief state anxiety measurement(BSAM) were used to assess the subjects' worry and anxiety.The galvanic skin response of individuals completing the NPU paradigm task was recorded.SPSS 26.0 was used for a two factor analysis of variance (classification: high IU, low IU; group: uncertain group, certain group). Results:The results of the two factor analysis of variance showed that the interaction between individual state anxiety classification and group was not significant( F(1, 55)=0.05, P>0.05, η2=2.16). The main effect of classification was significant( F(1, 55)=24.17, P<0.05, η2=1143.01). The anxiety level of individuals with high IU was significantly lower than that of individuals with low IU( P<0.05). The group main effect was not significant( F(1, 55)=0.03, P>0.05, η2=1.45), and there was no significant difference between the uncertainty group and the certainty group in terms of worry( P>0.05). The interaction between individual state anxiety classification and group was significant ( F(1, 55)=4.38, P<0.05, η2=3.02). The simple analysis results showed that in the uncertain group, the state anxiety of individuals with high IU was significantly lower than that of individuals with low IU ( P<0.05). In the certain group, there was no significant difference in state anxiety between individuals with high and low IU ( P>0.05). The interaction between individual galvanic skin response classification and group was not significant ( F(1, 55)=0.03, P>0.05, η2=0.00). The classification main effect was not significant( F(1, 55)=0.07, P>0.05, η2=0.00), and there was no significant difference in skin electrical activity between individuals with high and low IU ( P>0.05). But the main effect of the group was significant( F(1, 55)=4.86, P<0.05, η2=0.03). The skin electrical activity of the uncertain group was higher than that of the certain group( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the college students with medium and low trait anxiety, IU is an effective predictor of individual state worry and state anxiety under uncertain conditions.

Objective:To identify the influencing factors of maternal anxiety, and explore the moderating role of co-parenting in the effect of marriage quality on maternal anxiety.Methods:Totally 522 mothers with children aged 0-12 were enrolled in the surveys and completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Marital Adjustment Test and Co-parenting Relationship Scale.The chi-square test, the spearman correlation analysis and non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method were processed by SPSS 22.0.Results:①The detection rate of anxiety in the mothers was 48.7%, and the rate for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety was 37.4%, 8.4%, 2.9%, respectively.② The chi-square test showed that the family factors, such as mother's age, level of workload, family economic conditions, husband's level of workload, the child's age and health condition, as well as the conflicts between parents and grandparents and the grandparents’ willingness of involving in raising children, significantly affected mother’s anxiety(χ 2=4.292-23.170, P<0.05). ②The maternal anxiety was negatively correlated with marital quality ( r=-0.419, P<0.01). ③ Both positive co-parenting (PCP) and negative co-parenting(NCP) played moderating roles in the relationship between marriage quality and maternal anxiety( BPCP=0.013, P<0.01; BNCP=-0.010, P<0.05). Conclusion:Marital quality is an important factor which affects maternal anxiety, and father’s performance in co-parenting plays a moderating role in it.

Objective:To explore the neutral mechanism of influence of long-term exposure to high altitude hypoxia environment on the processing stage of conflict inhibition.Methods:Differences in the electroencephalogram during a 2-1 mapping Stroop task were compared between a high-altitude (HA) group ( n=20) who lived in a high-altitude area (3 650 m) for two years, and a low-altitude (LA) group ( n=20) who had never visited high-altitude areas. Results:The HA group had a higher pulse rate ((82.0±9.7)/min vs (74.0±11.3)/min) and lower oxygen saturation level ((90.7±2.8)% vs (97.4±1.1)%) compared with LA group.Behavior data showed that the reaction time (RT) in congruent (CO) condition was shorter than that in stimulus incogruent (SI) condition, and the RT in SI condition was shorter than that in RI condition ((707.91±70.33)ms vs (753.76±72.96)ms vs (803.88±73.21)ms); accuracy(ACC) rate in SI condition was higher than CO condition, and the ACC in CO condition was higher than RI condition((96.35±2.91)% vs (95.90±2.83)% vs (91.55±5.22)%). And the response conflict effect was larger than the stimulus conflict effect((49.76±33.90) vs (23.60±30.20)). The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.01). In SI condition, the RT of HA group was longer than LA group((730.43±60.50)ms vs (777.09±78.23)ms) ( P<0.05). As for the EEG, the amplitude of P2((6.18±0.62)μV vs (3.21±0.62)μV) and N450((1.39±1.48)μV vs (5.91±1.48)μV) component of the HA group were higher those that of the LA group.The amplitude of N450 at P4 electrode site was larger than that at P3 electrode site in HA group((2.26±1.34)μV vs (0.62±1.43)μV). The differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Long-term exposure to high altitude hypoxia environment affects the early stage of stimulus perception and task retrieval, as well as the conflict monitoring in later stage of stimulus and response conflict.The HA group need compensation of right parietal to complete the conflict monitoring of stimulus and response conflict.

Objective:To investigate relationships between fear of disease progression, invasive rumination, active rumination and post-traumatic growth in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) , so as to provide reference for carrying out physical and mental care in clinical nursing and improve the mental health level of patients with chronic kidney disease.Methods:From September 2019 to February 2020, 204 patients with stage 1 to 5 CKD were selected from Department of Nephrology in the Third Medical Center of PLA General Hospital by convenient sampling. They were investigated using a general data survey, the Short Form of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire (FoP-Q-SF) , Event Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) . Pearson product-moment correlation was used to analyze the correlations between fear of disease progression, ruminant thinking and post-traumatic growth. PROCESS 3.0 plug-in was used to analyze the mediating effect of the data, and Boopstrap was used to test the mediating effect.Results:The total scores of fears of disease progression, invasive rumination, active rumination and post-traumatic growth for CKD patients were respectively (29.40±11.85) , (21.17±8.37) , (23.54±8.44) and (51.68±27.18) . The results of correlation analysis showed that fear of disease progression, invasive rumination, and active rumination were positively correlated with post-traumatic growth ( P<0.01) . Analysis of mediating effect results showed that fear of disease progression could not directly affect post-traumatic growth of patients, but the chain mediating effect of invasive rumination and active rumination had an effect on post-traumatic growth of patients. And the chain mediating effect of invasive rumination and active rumination was statistically significant, which played a complete mediating effect. Conclusions:Fear of disease progression can indirectly affect post-traumatic growth through the chain mediating effect of invasive rumination and active rumination. Maintaining a moderate fear of disease progression and a reflective attitude is conducive to post-traumatic growth.

Objective To measure the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the compre-hensive assessment of ACT processes(CompACT)in financial staffs. Methods A total of 3 735 valid ques-tionnaires were obtained from financial staffs.The valid questionnaires were randomly allocated into two groups,of which one subset(n=1 873)was used for exploratory factor analysis(EPA),and the other(n=1 845)for confirmatory factor analysis(CFA).Criterion and convergent validity were tested by Pearson corre-lation respectively.Incremental validity was tested by hierarchical regression analysis. Results The EFA suggested theoretically-coherent three-factor structure for a 15-itemed version of the CompACT.The three fac-tors named as acceptance and cognitive defusion,mindfulness and self as context,value and committed ac-tion,and explained 73.75% of the total variance and factor loadings ranged from 0.67 to 0.90.The CFA con-firmed the hypothesized three-factor mode(χ2/df=5.91,CFI=0.98,TLI=0.98,RMSEA=0.05). Conclu-sion The research suggests that the Chinese version of the CompACT has acceptable psychometric in prop-erties,so it can be applied in the assessment of the psychological flexibility and mental health in China.
