“…Association among perceived stress, depression, and anxiety were found in a study conducted by [19]. Chen and Liu [20] add up to the previous results when they quantified the importance of related risk factors on the level of psychological distress and explored the threshold effect of each risk factor on the level of psychological distress. They found that health risk factors were the greatest contributors in predicting the level of psychological distress, with a relative importance of 42.32% among all influential factors.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, unfolding in early 2020, undoubtedly will bring many additional challenges and new insights as societies come to grips with its social, cultural, and health consequences. This study aimed to verify whether there were significant differences between the aggregate construct of COVID-19 psychological perceived impact factors and the aggregate construct of academic achievement factors during the academic year of 2021. A total of 297 students from the school of Languages, Lettres, and Arts, Ibn Tofail University participated by filling out validated a survey during the months from July to October 2021. Using both descriptive and inferential statistics, the results showed that students’ achievement is affected by all the factors composing the bio-ecological environment typically the factors: microsystem and macrosystem. As to the COVID-19 psychological perceived impact factors, it was found a plethora of risk factors affecting the students’ life. Moreover, the association between the two constructs has revealed that these are statistically and strongly correlated. From these results, implications for specific guidance were drawn as to the existence of a monotonic relationship between how students felt during COVID-19 times and their bio-ecological environment.

“…Distance to the nearest greenspace and blue space was the assessment method for seven of these studies. In China, the average distance from a residence to a park was recorded as 37.8 km (Chen & Liu, 2021), while most residents in Mexico reported living within a 10-minute walk of green space (Huerta & Utomo, 2021). A longitudinal study in the UK reported that the majority of residents lived within a 5-min walking distance from the nearest green space (Poortinga et al, 2021).…”

Previous reviews concluded that nature contact was an important coping strategy against poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the quality of evidence in these reviews was not sufficiently documented in terms of the risk of bias in reviewed studies. We attempted to fill this gap with a Navigation Guide systematic review and meta-analyses on the associations between nature exposure and mental health during the pandemic. Searches in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycInfo retrieved relevant articles published between January 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022. Included studies reported observational findings from human participants with indoor or outdoor nature exposure and measures of mental health. We used the Navigation Guide methodology to assess the risk of bias and quality of evidence across the body of evidence for each mental health outcome. A total of 4,464 articles were initially identified. After the screening, 59 were ultimately included. Studies reported diverse variables of nature availability, green space visit frequency, green space accessibility, and green space type (e.g., indoor vs. outdoor) with 12 mental health outcomes. Meta-analyses found access to gardens was associated with lower odds of depression (OR=0.71, 95% CI=0.61-0.82, I2=0%, n=3) and anxiety (OR=0.73, 95% CI=0.63-0.84, I2=0%, n=2). Higher frequency of visits to greenspace during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with improved mental well-being (OR=0.10, 95% CI=0.07-0.14, I2=0%, n=2) and general mental health (OR=0.11, 95% CI=0.03-0.38, I2=82%, n=2). The quality of evidence was “very low” for all outcomes, and high levels of bias and between-study heterogeneity were observed in the studies of nature exposure and mental health (41% of studies had high, 24% probably high, and 35% had a low risk of bias). Nonetheless, given trends observed in the results, nature-based infrastructure that emphasizes exposure to nearby nature may have promoted psychological resilience during this public health crisis.

“…The difference perception threshold refers to the minimum difference between two pieces of information that consumers can perceive ( Lalouni et al, 2021 ). Difference sensitivity refers to the minimum sensitivity to differential sensory threshold ( Chen and Liu, 2021 ). Equation (2) is the relationship between sensory intensity and stimulus intensity:…”

With the rapid economic growth and increased national income year by year, individuals and families have an increasingly greater demand for financial products. Banks’ sales of financial products have become a new economic profit growth point for major banks. Based on consumers’ psychological perception, the influencing factors of consumers’ behavior in purchasing bank financial products are studied. The influencing factor model path of consumer purchase behavior is constructed to find out the factors affecting consumers’ purchase of bank financial products and formulate appropriate promotion strategies according to the influencing factors. Through the research methods of literature analysis, small-scale in-depth interview, questionnaire surveys, and statistical analysis, this exploration selects four variables: independent variable, mediator, control variable, and dependent variable. They are influencing factors of purchasing bank financial products (perceived convenience, risk value of bank financial products, satisfaction of purchasing communication process), consumers’ willingness to buy bank financial products, consumers’ personal characteristics and consumers’ behavior of purchasing bank financial products. Meanwhile, based on 196 valid questionnaires, regression analysis is carried out through a regression model. The results show that the three influencing factors of consumers’ purchase of bank financial products–perceived convenience, risk value of bank financial products, and satisfaction with the purchase communication process significantly impact consumers’ purchase of bank financial products. They can put forward specific promotion suggestions for banks. This exploration aims to study the optimization of bank financial product promotion strategy from the perspective of consumer psychological perception to provide a reference for subsequent related research.
