Although existing literature has focused on the impact of racial/ethnic discrimination on Chinese American youth mental health during the pandemic, less attention has been paid to the protective family-level processes that can buffer against such mental health risks. Guided by the dual-factor model of mental health and family systems theory, this study aimed to explore the role of affirming family communication in Chinese American youth mental health in the midst of racial discrimination. Participants were 205 Chinese American youth and their parents, who completed an online survey in the spring of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. By conducting a series of path analyses, we found that affirming family communication functions as a promotive factor that counteracts the negative impact of prepandemic peer discrimination on youth externalizing problems. However, the positive influences of affirming family communication on internalizing problems and subjective well-being were weakened when Chinese American youth faced high levels of COVID-19-related peer discrimination. The findings offer implications for school psychology practice by underscoring how to engage with families to promote youth mental health in the context of racial discrimination.

ABSTRACT The Southern Syrian Vernacular is an overlooked basalt stone dwelling that emerged from places and traditions, being continuously adapted over thousands of years in response to its inhabitants' ever-evolving culture. This paper highlights the effectiveness of applying Clements-Croome Lessons from the living southern Syrian vernacular towards sustainable architectures conceptual theory ‘Flourish’ which implements the basis for post-occupancy evaluation to move beyond comfort, reaching out toward acquiring the ideal state of well-being. The findings showed that Flourish was effective and productive in combining a sense of place and subjective well-being to learn lessons for sustainable architecture, allowing the vernacular knowledge to be understood and communicated to other vernacular environments worldwide. The most significant findings illustrated that these adaptations respond to the intent of their inhabitants and their modern life requirements in a way that they express their inhabitants’ evolved consciousness; thus, this vernacular is sustainable. This conceptual framework and the developed methodology are recommended for investigating and retrofitting green energy solutions in southern Syria to reincarnate this profoundly old and loved dwelling into a new creature that fulfils the modern life requirement. The outcome could also be used globally to design place-related design solutions that promote health and wellbeing for its inhabitants and as a first step towards future living architecture.

In this paper, we present the findings from a study of Voices in Motion, an intergenerational community choir program involving persons living with dementia, care partners, and high school students in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Using the concept of social capital, we examine the role Voices in Motion plays in generating trustworthy social relationships, reducing feelings of social isolation, and improving subjective well-being among choir members. Data came from interviews with 23 dyads, each consisting of a person living with dementia and their care partner; additionally, five focus groups with 29 high school students across two Voices in Motion choirs were conducted. Choir rehearsals and concerts were also observed. The study sought to identify factors in Voices in Motion that facilitate the emergence of supportive social relationships among choir members, the way members characterize the nature of these relationships, and the benefits they see in the context of everyday life. The analysis revealed that the two choirs in the Voices in Motion program served as a source of bonding social capital for persons living with dementia, care partners, and students. Care partners and persons living with dementia spoke of a sense of togetherness that united choir members as they shared a similar journey with dementia, along with a profound joy in singing and pride at performing at well-attended concerts and advocacy events. Care partners in particular saw Voices in Motion as a source of emotional support in the context of increasing caregiving burden, while students reported gaining a deeper understanding of the everyday experiences of dementia through their involvement in Voices in Motion.

Psychological resilience, the capacity to adapt positively in the face of adversity, has emerged as a key internal resource that may buffer older adults against stressors such as chronic illness, functional decline, bereavement, and social isolation. As populations age globally, understanding the role of resilience in sustaining quality of life becomes increasingly important for individuals, families, and healthcare systems. To examine the association between psychological resilience and well-being among older adults. Using a cross-sectional design, a convenience sample of 196 volunteer older adults (≥ 65years) was recruited from a university hospital setting, with data collected via face-to-face interviews to ensure clinical and cognitive suitability. Data were collected using the demographic characteristics form, the "Resilience Evaluation Scale," and "World Health Organization Well-Being Index". The mean age of older adults was 68.07 ± 2.71. The average scores for "psychological resilience" and "well-being" were 22.47 ± 7.45 and 10.35 ± 6.39. The findings indicated a significant positive correlation between psychological resilience and overall well-being. While a significant difference was observed in resilience and well-being scores according to variables such as gender, educational status, having a chronic disease and having a relative who is a healthcare worker (P < 0.001), no significant difference was found in terms of other variables (P > 0.05). Adults aged 65 and above in this study demonstrated a moderate level of resilience and lower well-being scores. Higher resilience scores were significantly correlated with increased subjective well-being. These results suggest that resilience acts as a vital internal resource that relates to mental health outcomes in the aging population, highlighting the potential for interventions focused on enhancing psychological strengths.

The present study aimed to empirically assess how regular piano instruction over a six-month period could influence working memory capacity and subjective psychological well-being among students with no prior musical training. A total of 120 first- and second-year students from Peking University participated in the experiment. Outcomes were assessed using the Working Memory Index from the WAIS-IV and the short form of Carol Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale. Students in the piano training group exhibited significant improvements in both cognitive and emotional indicators. In the experimental group, mean working memory scores increased from 98.46 to 108.92 (p < 0.001, r = 0.61); concurrently, subjective well-being scores rose from 71.86 to 80.37 (p < 0.001, r = 0.61). The comparable magnitude of these changes suggests a parallel pattern of improvement, which warrants separate consideration and discussion. The results of the 2 × (2) mixed-design ANOVA revealed a significant Group × Time interaction: for working memory, F(1, 118) = 58.74, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.33; for psychological well-being, F(1, 118) = 71.26, p < 0.001, η2p = 0.38, with both effect sizes classified as large. These findings indicate an association between piano instruction and improvements in cognitive and emotional outcomes; however, this interpretation should be considered with caution given the limitations of the study design. Whether the observed effects are specific to piano training rather than to structured activity in general remains an open question and requires replication using an active control group.

Background Large-scale internal migration has become an important feature of China's urbanization, yet internal migrants often face challenges in social connection, community participation, and sense of belonging in destination cities. Although previous studies have linked sport participation with health, well-being, and social connection, less is known about how different forms of sport participation influence the social integration of internal migrants through psychological mechanisms. Objective This study examined the influence of sports participation on the social integration of China's migrant population, focusing on the mediating roles of subjective well-being and life satisfaction, along with age-related differences. Methods A sample of 1,660 migrants from the CGSS 2023 dataset was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and the PROCESS macro (Model 6) for SPSS to evaluate the serial mediation model. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis was performed across different age groups. Results (a) Both physical exercise and sports spectatorship significantly and positively predicted social integration; (b) physical exercise enhanced social integration through the mediating effects of subjective well-being and life satisfaction; (c) sports spectatorship did not significantly predict subjective well-being or life satisfaction, and its indirect effect lacked consistent statistical support, indicating that the effect was primarily direct; (d) age-group analysis demonstrated that subjective well-being maintained relatively stable explanatory power in the relationship between physical exercise and social integration, while the indirect effect of spectatorship was statistically supported only in the older cohort. Conclusion Participation in sports plays a significant role in promoting the social integration of migrant populations. However, the psychological mechanisms associated with various forms of participation exhibit distinct characteristics: engagement through physical exercise tends to be more stable, whereas the impact of spectatorship is influenced by age and specific contextual factors.
