The incidence of non-suicidal self-injury among Chinese vocational high school students is higher than in regular high school students. However, research on the factors associated with self-injury in this specific population remains limited. To address this, we created a network structure of self-injury among vocational students using network…

The successful launch of the One Belt and One Road Initiative in 2013, coupled with China's growing international influence, has stimulated global interest in learning Chinese as a Second Language (CSL).

Recent literature has demonstrated the advantages of a low-arousal positive emotion -- foreign language peace of mind (FLPOM). In comparison to the well-studied high-arousal positive emotion (e.g. foreign language enjoyment), FLPOM is primarily experienced by foreign language (FL) learners from collective societies. Pioneering research into FLPOM…

A wealth of research suggests that emotion enhances memory. Yet, this enhancement is not uniform. While some theories posit that emotion enhances memory for sensory/perceptual information, such an enhancement has not been observed in mnemonic detail production. However, a focus on remote events (often more semanticized) may be masking an effect.…
