“…First, from the level of socioeconomic environment, previous studies have found that the excessively high housing prices and the continuous improvement of economic consumer price level, to a certain extent, increase college students' anxiety about the future, cause life and psychological pressure, and then reduce their psychological security (Chen & He, 2008). In addition, the rising number of unemployed every year put some psychological pressure on college students, reducing their sense of certainty and control over the future.…”

Introduction: Psychological security is the outcome of interaction between individuals and society, and it is an important indicator reflecting adolescent mental health and self-growth. Previous studies have paid more attention to external security, but less attention to individual's internal psychological security. In addition, few previous studies have examined the changes of psychological security over time and the influence of socio-cultural environmental factors on psychological security. Methods: A cross-temporal meta-analysis was performed using papers that measured the psychological security level of Chinese adolescent college students between 2004 and 2020. Moreover, a time-lag analysis was conducted to define whether the macrosocial indicators can explain the changes in Chinese adolescent college students' psychological security. Results: (1) A total of 85 papers was included in the final sample (included 48,817 Chinese adolescent college students); (2) the scores of psychological security and its two sub-dimensions were significantly negatively correlated with the year, indicating that Chinese college students' psychological security declined significantly over time;(3) seven macro social indicators from the socioeconomic environmental, social connectedness and overall social threats can predict the changes in college students' psychological security; (4) the psychological security of male and female college students decreased over time, but the gender difference was insignificant. Conclusions: Evidently, social changes play an important role in predicting changes in Chinese college students' psychological security. The results can provide a research basis for the mental health education of adolescent college students, and also provide an explanation perspective for the increasingly serious "involution" phenomenon among Chinese college students.adolescent college student, cross-temporal meta-analysis, mental health, psychological security, sense of danger and crisis | INTRODUCTIONGaining security is a common aspiration of individuals in all cultures. Maslow pointed out that security is one of the basic psychological needs of humans (Maslow, 1942(Maslow, , 1954. It is a crucial basis for individual mental health and happiness, and it is an important guarantee to help individuals grow and improve themselves (Blynova et al., 2018;Wanless, 2016). A large number of research has indicated that individual's psychological security is the outcome of the interaction between the external social environment's objective risk and internal subjective risk perception (Blynova et al.

“…In this line, Valenti et al (2022) consider that appropriate programs should be designed to help people to see the bright side of negative experiences, which permits a reshaping of harmful emotional outcomes by focusing on some positive aspects. In addition, it is recommended that people suffering from SIA practice activities such as Mindfulness ( Butler et al, 2018 ), aerobic exercise ( Jazaieri et al, 2012 ), or activities in natural environments ( Chen and Huo, 2022 ), as they help to decrease SIA and to increase the levels of SWL.…”

The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of social interaction anxiety on satisfaction with life mediated by emotional intelligence. The research design was descriptive, cross-sectional, and non-randomized. In total, 1,164 Mexican physical education students participated (Mage = 21.21; SD = 3.26; 30.0% female; 69.6% male; 0.4% other). The scales used were the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Trait Meta-Mood Scale and Satisfaction with Life and a structural equation analysis with latent variables was conducted. The results highlight that it can be asserted that emotional clarity and repair had a mediating effect between social interaction anxiety and satisfaction with life, as they did decrease the negative effects of social interaction anxiety on satisfaction with life. In addition, social interaction anxiety had a direct and positive effect on emotional attention and a negative effect on emotional clarity and repair.

“…Several related constructs more often investigated in relation to PSU are fear of missing out, nomophobia, cyberchondria, and cyberbullying (Kamolthip et al, 2022) and social interaction anxiety (Chen & Huo, 2023). Although much research has been conducted on the association between PSU and mental health, most of these studies relied on correlational analyses, which limited our understanding of the interrelationships between specific mental health symptoms and PSU.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of mutual relations within the Problematic Smartphone Use (PSU) (first network) and between adolescent mental health problems and PSU (second network). The invariance of both networks was investigated across age, gender, and severity of symptoms. The participants were 708 Romanian adolescents ( Mage = 16). Analyses were performed in RStudio. The results indicated that the most central node in the PSU network was a preoccupation symptom. The strongest bridge path laid between a reckless symptom and PSU. The networks were invariant with respect to the gender of the adolescents but were different—both in structure and strength—between the adolescents with low vs. high total difficulties. Furthermore, the networks were significantly different in terms of structure between middle and late adolescents. These findings are further discussed.
