Previous research has found that self‐compassion enhances well‐being outcomes such as happiness and meaning in life. However, little is known about the link between self‐compassion and psychological richness, a recently introduced concept of well‐being. Thus, an exploration of the relationship between self‐compassion and psychological richness is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the association between self‐compassion and well‐being. To address this issue, this study investigated the temporal directionality of their relationship within a cohort of Chinese college students, utilizing a two‐wave longitudinal approach. Using a cross‐lagged model, the results revealed that the self‐compassion could predict psychological richness 3 months later, and conversely, psychological richness could also predict subsequent self‐compassion. This research provides new insights into the bidirectional relationship between self‐compassion and psychological richness, broadening our understanding of the association between self‐compassion and well‐being. Future interventions should focus on the important effect of self‐compassion interventions in the development of psychological richness. In addition, future research could consider interventions on increasing psychological richness to improve the level of self‐compassion among college students.

Background The multifaceted challenges encountered by engineering university students generate paradoxical tensions, which serve as catalysts for fostering creativity. Engaging in paradoxical thinking during academic pursuits enhances the ability of students to solve complex engineering problems. Despite this, the intricate interconnections among paradoxical tensions, paradoxical thinking, and the creativity of engineering university students remain ambiguous. Methods This study sought to address this gap by surveying 1410 engineering university students in China, delving into how paradoxical thinking mediates the link between paradoxical tensions and creativity. Additionally, it investigated the moderating impact of team psychological capital on the associations between paradoxical tensions and both paradoxical thinking and creativity. SPSS 24.0 was initially used to convert the cleaned data into a “.csv” format, and Smart PLS (v.4.0.9.5) was then employed to assess the model. Results The findings of the study reveal a positive influence of paradoxical tensions on both creativity and paradoxical thinking. Notably, paradoxical thinking emerges as a significant contributor to enhancing the creativity of engineering university students. Furthermore, the findings show that paradoxical tensions enhance creativity by influencing paradoxical thinking. While team psychological capital emerged as a significant factor in moderating the link between paradoxical tension and creativity, its role in moderating the association between paradoxical tension and paradoxical thinking was not statistically significant. Conclusions This study revealed how paradoxical tensions among engineering university students influence creativity through paradoxical thinking, moderated by team psychological capital. The findings not only provide new insights for researchers to better understand paradoxical tensions, paradoxical thinking, team psychological capital and the underlying psychological mechanism for engineering university students' creativity, but also have practical implications for education administrators.

Creative self-efficacy and social skills are two elements that can significantly enhance personal and professional development. The main objective of this research is to analyze the relations established between creative self-efficacy and social skills with other variables such as self-esteem, academic performance, and life satisfaction. The participants included in the methodology of this study are a total of 238 Portuguese university students. The instruments used were the Creative Self-Efficacy Scale, the Social Skills Questionnaire (CHASO), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and a series of ad hoc questions to assess academic performance. The results obtained indicate the existence of significant relations between creative self-efficacy and social skills, with the latter also being positively associated with self-esteem and life satisfaction. Analyses indicate that there are significant differences according to gender, academic performance, and the level of self-esteem of the participants. In addition, variables such as self-esteem, academic performance, and fluency act as predictors of life satisfaction. The importance of further exploring and understanding the complex relationship between creative self-efficacy, social skills, and individual well-being in the university context is discussed.
