“…These outcomes coincide with those obtained by Castro-Sánchez et al [ 40 ] who concluded that physical and relational violence were the most common types of violence employed by adolescents to discriminate against their peers. Nonetheless, research conducted by Song et al [ 47 ] revealed a new trend, with relational violence emerging as the most commonly employed by adolescents.…”

Background. Current scientific evidence establishes that regular physical activity engagement provides numerous physical and mental benefits. Thus, the present research aims at examining the relationships between violent behavior, self-concept, and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis. Specifically, two objectives were defined: (a) analyze and establish the relationships between violent behaviors, the different dimensions of self-concept, and the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis as a function of physical activity engagement, (b) define and examine a proposed explanatory model, and (c) analyze the effect of self-concept on alcohol and tobacco consumption and physical activity engagement based on the explanatory model developed. Methods. For this purpose, a nonexperimental (ex post facto), descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted. For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire was administered alongside the Self-Concept Form 5 and the School Victimization Scale. Results. It was shown that individuals engaging in more than three hours of physical exercise per week scored more highly on the social, family, physical, and emotional aspects of self-concept, whilst those who do not meet this criterion scored more highly on the academic aspect and on physical and verbal victimization. Conclusions. The present research concludes that engagement in more than 3 hours of physical activity per week led to benefits in a number of domains of self-concept whilst, at the same time, increasing levels of violence.

“…For example, children who perceive interpersonal interactions more in terms of caring themes of affiliation, reparation, and prosocial behaviors exhibit more positive long-term trajectories in development, compared with children who perceive more negative themes such as aggression and destruction (Warren et al, 2000; Zahn-Waxler et al, 2008). Young adults who reconstrue peer-victimization experiences with positive resolution show fewer depressive symptoms and greater self-acceptance (Song & Wang, 2014; Song et al, 2021). In the context of memory sharing, individuals who are better able to derive positive meanings from the conversation and perceive greater closeness with the conversation partner may benefit more from the social exchange.…”

The present research examined the effects of sharing different types of memories on perceived relationship closeness and how that is related to psychological well-being in a cross-cultural context. In two studies, European American and Asian participants (total N = 714) reported their feelings of closeness to a conversation partner in hypothetical situations that involved five types of information sharing: specific and general autobiographical memories, specific and general vicarious memories, and non-person information. Sharing memories led to greater feelings of closeness than sharing non-person information in both groups. Asians felt closer to the conversation partner than European Americans across all types of information sharing. Sharing autobiographical and specific memories led to greater closeness than sharing vicarious and general memories in both groups, although sharing specific autobiographical memories appeared most effective for relationship closeness for European Americans. Perceived relationship closeness following conversational exchanges was positively associated with psychological well-being across cultures.

“…Individuals engage in cognitive strategies to regulate their behaviors, feelings, and physiological responses to negative and stressful emotions (Gross, 2001). In particular, narrative processing of one's own past experiences has been conceptualized as an important context that may work integrally with physiological processes in coping with negative emotions and stress (Bar‐Haim et al., 2004; Jacques et al., 2020; Song et al., 2021).…”

“…Importantly, narrative processing has been demonstrated to work in concert with physiological resources to help individuals cope with stressful experiences. For example, a recent study (Song et al., 2021) demonstrated that victimized individuals whose narratives about past victimizing experiences were positively resolved or included disengagement coping strategies, in combination with RSA activation during narrating, experienced fewer depressive symptoms as compared to other victimized individuals. Nevertheless, little is known about how narrative processing is related to SNS‐PNS coordination in middle childhood, as well as how such relationships may vary depending on children's trait‐level ER difficulty.…”

Emotion regulation (ER) is a multifaceted construct, involving behavioral, cognitive, and physiological processes. Although autonomic coordination is theorized to play a crucial role in adaptive functioning, few studies have examined how different individual and contextual factors together may contribute to such coordination. This study examined the joint influences of narrative processing and emotional negativity/lability (N/L) traits on the coordination of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in a sample of 112 children, ages 8–12 years (Mage = 10.15 years, SD = 1.33). Children completed a stress‐induction task followed by an interview about the task. Children's trait‐level N/L was assessed via parent‐report on the Emotion Regulation Checklist. Narrative processing was assessed and coded based on children's narrative accounts of the event (i.e., causal coherence, overall emotional tone). Indexes of sympathetic (skin conductance response, SCR) and parasympathetic (respiratory sinus arrhythmia, RSA) functioning were derived from physiological data obtained during the interview. Results revealed that children's trait‐level N/L and narrative processing of the stressful event interacted to predict the RSA–SCR correlation. Specifically, children who were high on either N/L or narrative causal coherence, but not both, demonstrated significant RSA–SCR correlation. Similarly, children with high N/L and negative‐to‐neutral narratives, as well as those with low N/L and neutral‐to‐positive narratives, exhibited significant RSA–SCR correlation. This work provides empirical evidence that narrative processing and trait N/L, together with RSA–SCR correlation, work in tandem to regulate emotional arousal.
