ABSTRACT

This study investigated the role of resilience as a mediator and the place of residence as a moderator of parenting stress and parental burnout. The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Parental Burnout Assessment, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were administered to 249 Chinese parents of children with ASD (M = 33.95 years, SD = 7.6). Results show that resilience partially mediates the relation between parenting stress and parental burnout. Besides, both the effect of parenting stress on parental burnout and the mediating effect of resilience are moderated by rural/urban residence. This study highlights parenting stress is a risk factor for parental burnout and resilience is the potential mechanism underlying this relation. These findings provide implications for family services for parents of children with ASD.

ABSTRACT

The relationship between trait gratitude and subjective well-being is well documented in the literature. Recently, growing attention has been given to examining which factors are determinants in the relationship. However, there are no studies to present a comprehensive model of how meaning in life and self-control jointly play a role in this relationship. This study investigated parallel and serial mediation of the presence of meaning, the search for meaning, and self-control in the relationship between trait gratitude and subjective well-being. A total of 764 adolescents (Mage = 14.10, SD = 1.43, 48.43% males) from three middle schools in China completed a six-item measures of gratitude questionnaire form, a meaning in life questionnaire, a middle school students' self-control ability questionnaire, and a satisfaction with life scale. The study revealed that trait gratitude affected the presence of meaning and subsequently affected subjective well-being. In addition, trait gratitude affected self-control through the presence of meaning and the search for meaning, and it subsequently affected subjective well-being. Therefore, the presence of meaning, the search for meaning, and self-control played an important role in the positive effects of trait gratitude on adolescent subjective well-being. The findings were in line with the intrinsic and extrinsic goal theory of gratitude and provided new insight to inform the improvement of adolescent subjective well-being in the future.

ABSTRACT

Prosocial behavior plays a vital role in adolescents' well-being and social functioning, with the recall of early emotional experiences being a major influence. Positive experiences such as early memories of warmth and safeness (EMWS) contribute to prosocial interpersonal characteristics, whereas adverse experiences such as child psychological abuse and neglect (CPAN) lead to social withdrawal or behavioral problems. The direct effects of EMWS and CPAN on prosocial behavior were investigated in this study, along with the mediation effect of psychological suzhi and the moderation effect of subjective socioeconomic status (SSS). A sample of 948 adolescents (Mage = 14.05 years, SD = 1.68 years; 43.6% females) was randomly recruited to complete self-report questionnaires. Correlation results indicated that EMWS promoted prosocial behavior, whereas CPAN was negatively associated with prosocial behavior. Path analyses confirmed the mediating role of psychological suzhi on the effects of EMWS and CPAN on prosocial behavior. SSS was shown to moderate the effects of EMWS on prosocial behavior and CPAN on psychological suzhi. Compared to lower SSS, higher SSS would reinforce the positive impact of EMWS on prosocial behavior and exacerbate the negative impact of CPAN on psychological suzhi. The current study provided new insight into understanding the underlying mechanisms of prosocial behavior from the perspective of early emotional experiences.

ABSTRACT

Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) are transcription factors with the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain. As integration factors between different signal pathways, members of the PIF protein family regulate many aspects of plant growth and development, such as seed germination, photomorphogenesis, thermomorphogenesis, rhythm regulation, flowering response, stomatal development, and stress responses. Our previous studies have shown that the BpSPL2 gene may regulate plants' adventitious root development through PIF genes. Within the Betula platyphylla genome, we identified eight PIF (BpPIFs) genes. We analysed and named them based on a phylogenetic tree, gene structures, and conserved motifs. Synteny analysis indicated that transposition or segmental duplication events played a minor role in the expansion of BpPIFs. The comparative syntenic analysis combined with phylogenetic analysis provided a deep insight into the phylogenetic relationships of BpPIF genes, suggesting that BpPIF proteins are closer to PtPIF than to AtPIF. The analysis of cis-acting elements in promoter regions of BpPIF genes indicated that various elements were related to light, abiotic stress, and plant hormone responsiveness. In addition, we found that these promoters have the transcription factor of B. platyphylla SPL2 (BpSPL2) binding motif GTAC. Expression analysis demonstrated that BpPIF genes, especially BpPIF4, BpPIF9b, and BpPIF10, might be the potential target genes of BpSPL2 in the process of adventitious root formation. Besides providing a comprehensive understanding of the BpPIF family, we propose a hypothetical gene network regulatory model for adventitious root formation.
