Examination of Mental Resilience Levels in Veteran Tennis Players

This research aimed to explore the disparities in mental resilience levels among veteran tennis players concerning age, gender, and weekly training frequency. The survey method was employed, utilizing a survey technique as part of the screening process. The study involved 358 volunteer veteran tennis players, with 85 females and 273 males, who completed the mental resilience scale. The "Sports Mental Resilience Scale" and a researcher-prepared personal information form were used. The scale showed good reliability with Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of 0.81 for Confidence, 0.74 for Persistence, and 0.71 for Control. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0. Normal distribution was confirmed through Skewness, Kurtosis values, and the Levene Test. Parametric tests, such as Independent Sample T Test and One Way ANOVA, were used when significant differences emerged between groups. The Scheffe test was applied to identify the sources of differences. Results revealed no statistically significant difference in average mental resilience scores based on gender (p>0.05). However, significant differences were found in Confidence and Persistence sub-dimensions based on age (p<0.05), as well as in the Confidence sub-dimension and total scores based on weekly training frequency (p<0.05). In summary, this study investigated the relationship between mental resilience levels and variables like gender, age, and weekly training frequency among veteran tennis players. It found that these factors indeed impact the mental resilience of veteran tennis players, contributing new insights to the field and future research.

A111: Relationship Between Physical Activity and Mental Toughness

Purpose: Physical activity has favorable impacts on exercisers' stress levels, psychological distress and anxiety, emotional regulation, and mental wellness. In recent years, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has subtly altered college students' lifestyles. Studies have shown that the physical and mental health of students has deteriorated dramatically, which is alarming. Mental toughness refers to the ability to adapt well in the face of major pressures, setbacks, and adversity in life. The purpose of the present study was to examine variations in mental toughness depending on the intensity, length, and frequency of physical activity. Methods: A total of 3,120 Chinese college students participated in this study. In the spring semester of 2022, participants were given the demographic questionnaire, the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), and the Chinese version of the Mental Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). 3049 students completed the survey. Independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0 statistical software. Results: The physical activity level differed significantly across sex (t = 14.37, p < 0.001), grade (F=3.72, p < 0.05), and monthly living expenses (F = 5.70, p < 0.001). The mental toughness had significant differences across sex (t = 4.55, p < 0.001), grade (F = 3.35, p < 0.05), and monthly living expenses (F = 5.41, p < 0.001). There were significant differences in mental toughness across different levels of physical activity intensity (F = 39.28, p < 0.001), different length of physical activity (F = 33.35, p < 0.001), different frequency of physical activity (F = 30.14, p < 0.001), and different levels of physical activity (F = 91.55, p < 0.001). Physical activity was significantly and positively correlated with mental toughness (r = 0.26, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Male students exhibited significantly higher levels of physical activity than their female counterparts, and freshmen demonstrated greater physical activity than students in other grades. Additionally, the amount of physical activity among college students was influenced by their monthly living expenses. The mental toughness score of male students was notably higher than that of female students, with freshmen scoring significantly higher than students in other grades. In comparison to other levels of physical activity, engaging in a high quantity of exercise, high-intensity short-duration exercise, more than 60 minutes of activity time, and a daily activity frequency had the most pronounced impact on enhancing mental toughness. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between physical activity and mental toughness.

School climate and adolescents' prosocial behavior: the mediating role of perceived social support and resilience.

Prosocial behavior is crucial for adolescent socialization and plays a positive role in all aspects of adolescent development. Based on ecosystem theory and self-determination theory, this study aimed to explore the relationship among school climate, perceived social support, psychological resilience, and prosocial behavior. With 1,688 high school students being sampled, we utilized the Perceived School Climate Questionnaire, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Chinese Version of Mental Resilience Scale, and the Adolescent Prosocial Tendency Scale. The results showed that: (1) school climate, perceived social support, psychological resilience, and prosocial behavior were all positively correlated; (2) perceived social support and psychological resilience could independently mediate the relationship between school climate and prosocial behavior; these two mediating variables could develop a chain mediation effect to influence the link between school climate and prosocial behavior.

Predictors of Hangover Frequency and Severity: The Impact of Alcohol Consumption, Mental Resilience, Personality, Lifestyle, Coping and Mood.

Mental resilience is the ability to bounce back from daily life stressors such as divorce or losing a job. Extensive research has demonstrated a negative relationship between mental resilience and alcohol consumption. That is, both the quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption are greater in individuals with lower levels of mental resilience. There has, however, been little scientific attention paid to the relationship between mental resilience and alcohol hangover severity. The objective of this study was to evaluate psychological factors that may impact the frequency and severity of alcohol hangovers, including alcohol intake itself, mental resilience, personality, baseline mood, lifestyle, and coping mechanisms. An online survey was conducted among Dutch adults (N = 153) who had a hangover after their heaviest drinking occasion in the period before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (15 January to 14 March 2020). Questions were asked about their alcohol consumption and hangover severity on their heaviest drinking occasion. Mental resilience was assessed with the Brief Mental Resilience scale, personality with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale (EPQ-RSS), mood via single item assessments, and lifestyle and coping with the modified Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist. The partial correlation, corrected for estimated peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC), between mental resilience and hangover severity was not significant (r = 0.010, p = 0.848). Furthermore, no significant correlations were found between hangover severity or frequency and personality and baseline mood. For lifestyle and coping factors, a negative correlation was found between the use of tobacco and toxins (i.e., drugs, medicines, caffeine) and the frequency of experiencing hangovers. Regression analysis revealed that hangover severity after the heaviest drinking occasion (31.2%) was the best predictor of hangover frequency, and that subjective intoxication on the heaviest drinking occasion (38.4%) was the best predictor of next-day hangover severity. Mood, mental resilience, and personality were not relevant predictors of hangover frequency and severity. In conclusion, mental resilience, personality, and baseline mood do not predict hangover frequency and severity.

Situational Analysis of Influencing Factors of the Psychological Resilience of Junior Nurses at a Tertiary Hospital in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, China

The objective of this study was to analyse the status quo of the psychological resilience of junior nurses and its influencing factors, so as to provide psychological guidance for junior nurses to enable them to serve clinics better. For the study sample, 152 junior nurses from a tertiary hospital in Linfen City, Shanxi Province, China, were selected by convenience sampling. The junior nurses were investigated by using a general information questionnaire, the Mental Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and a simple coping style scale. The results showed that the overall level of psychological resilience of junior nurses was 58.73 ± 11.07, which was lower than the norm in China. Among the measures of three dimensions of resilience, the score of tenacity was 29.64 ± 6.12; the score of self-improvement was 21.07 ± 5.56; and the score of optimism was 9.32 ± 3.48. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, educational level and coping style were the significant influencing factors of psychological resilience. In conclusion, the level of psychological resilience of the junior nurses in the study was low. Thus, hospital managers should provide a supportive clinical learning environment for the younger nurses. At the same time, they should strengthen the positive coping mechanism of junior nurses, guiding them to use the positive side of psychological resilience.

Mental Resilience of Polish Adolescents During the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2021

Introduction. As reported in the literature, the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms in students due to social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted research on the psychosocial resources of adolescents, which was revealed in the form of resilience. Research Aim. Answers were sought to three research questions concerning: a) the resilience of Polish adolescents during the pandemic in 2021, b) the differentiation within the measured components of resilience, and c) the comparison of resilience between female and male students. Method. The electronic version of the Polish Mental Resilience Scale (SPP-18), standardised in the group of Polish adolescents and teenagers aged 12–18, was used for the online assessment of n = 263 students (F = 137; M = 126) aged 12–16. Results. The analysis of the students’ responses indicates the raised level of their resilience in the pandemic (7/10 in standard ten), differentiation within the components with the highest score for the sense of humour and the lowest for negative affect tolerance. Differences in the level of resilience due to gender were statistically insignificant, although the results of girls were slightly higher in all dimensions compared to those of boys. Conclusion. The raised level of resilience in the assessed sample seems optimistic, especially with respect to the majority of the students (about 70%). However, about 10% of the students in each of the 18 items declared low personal resilience competencies. Such groups of adolescents should be looked after, and if possible, periodically re-assessed to observe the changes in their level of resilience over time.

The mediating effect of resilience on pregnancy stress and prenatal anxiety in pregnant women.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between pregnancy stress and prenatal anxiety in pregnant women in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and the mediating effect of mental resilience level on the relationship between pregnancy stress and prenatal anxiety.MethodThe investigation involved 750 pregnant women at a tertiary hospital in Urumqi, and included a questionnaire eliciting general demographic information, a pregnancy stress scale (Pregnancy Pressure Scale, PPS), generalized anxiety disorder scale (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, GAD-7), and a mental resilience scale (Connor—Davidson resilience scale, CD-RISC). The Bootstrap mediation effect test was used to test the effect relationship between variables, and Amos was used to establish the structural equation model.ResultsAmong the 750 participants, 122 (16.2%) had moderate or greater pregnancy stress (PPS > 1), 372 (49.6%) had mild or greater anxiety symptoms (GAD-7 > 5), and 241 (32.1%) had good or higher mental resilience score. Pregnancy stress negatively affected resilience (β = −0.37, p < 0.01), and resilience also negatively affected prenatal anxiety (β = −0.12, p < 0.01). The mediating effect value of resilience was 8.3%.ConclusionPregnancy stress, mental resilience, and prenatal anxiety were significantly correlated, and mental resilience played a partial mediating role in the influence of pregnancy stress on prenatal anxiety. It is recommended that pregnant women exercise their mental resilience to reduce the incidence of prenatal anxiety and promote physical and mental health.

Intervention Effect of Group Counseling Based on Positive Psychology on Psychological Crisis of College Student.

Objective To analyze the intervention effect of group counseling based on positive psychology on psychological crisis of college student. Method SCL-90 mental health screening was performed on second-year students in a college by cluster stratification. Among the detected students, 210 were included into the group after brief interview and randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The control group was given conventional intervention measures, and the experimental group was given group counseling according to the interview results. One week before the start, on the day of the end of the intervention and 3 months after the end of the intervention, the mental health level of all subjects was evaluated by symptom self-rating scale, general well-being scale, and adolescent mental resilience scale.

With the extension of time, the score of the self-rating symptom scale in the experimental group decreased significantly, while the total score of the self-rating symptom scale in the control group increased, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in general well-being between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 3 months after the end of intervention, the total score of the general well-being scale in the experimental group increased, while that in the control group decreased, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Three months after the end of the intervention, the total score of adolescent mental resilience scale in the experimental group increased. Conclusion Group counseling from the perspective of positive psychology can effectively improve the mental health status of medical students with psychological crisis and improve their mental resilience.

Adoption of Human Personality Development Theory Combined With Deep Neural Network in Entrepreneurship Education of College Students.

In this research, the probability matrix factorization (PMF) algorithm was introduced to optimize the deep neural network algorithm model with the purpose of studying the application value of personality development theory and deep learning neural network in college students’ entrepreneurship psychological education courses. Based on the personality development theory, a recommendation algorithm system for entrepreneurial projects under optimized deep neural network was established. A total of 518 college students from several universities were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 259 students in each group. In addition to the normal courses of entrepreneurship psychology education, students in the experimental group were taught the entrepreneurship project recommendation system based on the optimized deep neural network designed in this research, while students in the control group were taught entrepreneurship psychology education normally. The intervention effect before and after entrepreneurship education was evaluated by the questionnaire of college students’ entrepreneurial intention and college students’ entrepreneurial mental resilience scale. The results demonstrate that the system recall rate and accuracy based on the algorithm in this research have been significantly higher than that of PMF algorithm and deep belief network (DBN) algorithm, and the difference is statistically significant (p < 0.05); the mean square error (MSE) of the proposed algorithm is significantly smaller than that of PMF algorithm and DBN algorithm, and the difference is statistically significant (p < 0.05); the improvement of entrepreneurial toughness, entrepreneurial strength, optimism, entrepreneurial possibility, and behavioral tendency of the experimental group after the test was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Therefore, compared with traditional algorithms, the proposed method for entrepreneurial projects based on the theory of personality development and the optimized deep neural network shows better performance, and it can effectively improve the entrepreneurial intention and psychological resilience of college students.
