Childhood environmental unpredictability and hoarding: Mediating roles of attachment and security
This study aimed to explore the key roles of childhood environmental unpredictability, attachment, and sense of security in the development of hoarding. 662 participants completed scales on childhood environmental unpredictability, Revised Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-R), sense of insecurity, and Savings Inventory-Revised (SI-R). The results showed that childhood environmental unpredictability was significantly positively correlated with hoarding. Attachment anxiety and sense of security individually mediate the effect of childhood environmental unpredictability on hoarding. Additionally, 'attachment anxiety--se...

Investigating the impact of culture dimensions on Chinese citizens' continuous use of e-government websites: A cultural model-based study
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Mar 5;244:104196. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104196. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDrawing upon Hofstede's cultural model, this study establishes a framework for examining the factors influencing citizens' continuous use of e-government websites. This paper, employing quantile regression, reveals that collectivism, masculinity, long-term orientation, and constraint culture exhibit varying degrees of influence on different levels of continuous use of China's e-government websites. Moreover, it has been observed that masculine culture exerts a limiting effect on the continuous use of e-government we...

Association of quality of life with internet use and weight stigma across individuals with obesity and those without obesity: Role of self-perception
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Mar 4;244:104203. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104203. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWeight status, weight stigma, and internet use are important factors impacting quality of life (QoL). However, little is known regarding how these factors interact in their association with QoL, and it is important to understand how self-perceived obesity and body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity may differentially impact QoL. We aimed to assess the associations between weight status (obesity vs. non-obesity, including both self-perceived and BMI-defined), weight stigma, internet use, and QoL. Cross-sectional data f...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have been conducted that show the crucial role of active participation in music in health promotion (e.g. Dingle et al., 2021; Sheppard & Broughton, 2020); however, little research has focused on the biopsychosocial effects of choral singing. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of improving physiological and psychosocial factors, of a choral program for middle-aged and older individuals. We integrated our study with qualitative observations of the atmosphere and flow st...
