“…Given that universities currently emphasize cultivating students' IC, directly examining the effect of IC on the meaning in life can be more practical. Previous studies have shown that IC can help improve the social adaptation level of adolescents [13], and good IC can relieve depression, reduce pressure, and help enhance the quality of life [14]. People manifesting low IC are prone to be rejected, excluded, isolated, or neglected by others; as their basic psychological needs for belonging and relationships are not met, they may lack positive social connection and meaning in life [15].…”

Background: With the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2020, most colleges in China delayed in-person instruction. During this period, interpersonal isolation (social isolation) emerged, which created a natural "laboratory" for examining students' attitudes and feelings toward social interaction. This study aimed to analyze the mediating effect of sense of security (SS) and the moderating effect of social perception on the associations between interpersonal competence (IC) and the presence of meaning. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,161 university students after the COVID-19 lockdown in China. A structural equation modeling approach was applied to examine the mediating effect of SS on the association between the presence of meaning and IC. A multigroup analysis was used to comprehend the moderating effect of social perception on the model. Results: SS indicated a complete mediating effect on the path from IC to the presence of meaning in the social preference group. Meanwhile, the moderating effect of social perception mainly occurred on the pathway of IC to SS between the social avoidance and social preference groups. Conclusions: IC influences the presence of meaning through different paths for different groups. University students with social preference are more capable of obtaining SS from their IC and further experience more meaning in life.

Purpose Studies that have compared the overall health behaviors of male survivors of cancer and the population without cancer in South Korea are limited. Therefore, we aimed to compare the quality of life and health-related behaviors of cancer survivors and the population without cancer in South Korea. Methods This cross-sectional, matched case-control study recruited Korean males aged 19–80 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VIII. Of the 11,760 participants, 349 cancer survivors and 1,047 controls without cancer were matched by 1:3 propensity score matching using age, cohabitation, household income, education level, employment status, type of job, and private insurance. Height, weight, smoking status, drinking status, and physical activity status were also recorded. Results The cancer survivors had lower odds of being overweight and higher odds of being former smokers and drinkers than the controls after adjusting for potential confounders. The cancer survivors and controls showed no significant differences in physical activity or food consumption. No significant differences were noted among the young adults. However, the middle-aged and older male cancer survivors were more likely to be overweight and obese, respectively. The middle-aged survivors were also more likely to be former smokers, while the older survivors were more likely to be former drinkers. Conclusion The cancer survivors were more likely to have a normal weight, be past smokers, or be former drinkers. Education on cancer prevention is required to improve health-related behaviors and prevent secondary cancer.
