Rumination and psychological resilience in Chinese civil aviation flight students: the chain mediating role of proactive coping and generalized anxiety disorder by Mingyu Liao, Haozhe Wang, Zongyu Liu, Enliang Hu

“…However, the internal mechanism of how rumination affects psychological resilience, particularly the chain mediating effect of proactive coping and generalized anxiety, has not been thoroughly explored in high-stress populations.MethodsEmploying a cross-sectional design, 1,235 flight students from the Civil Aviation Flight University of China were surveyed using the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) to gather data. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and the Bootstrap method were used to test the chain mediating effect.ResultsRumination exhibited a significant negative correlation with psychological resilience (r = −0.365, p < 0.01) and proactive coping (r = −0.285, p < 0.01), and a positive correlation with generalized anxiety (r = 0.337, p < 0.01). …”

Research on farmers’ willingness to grow high-quality rice based on the TAM-TPB model: evidence from China by Bin Zhang, Yingshu Cai, Zhen Hu, Ning Xie, Jianfu Li, Jianfu Li

“…There are few studies to explore how professional grain farmers induce the planting intention of high-quality rice from the level of subjective psychological mechanism.MethodsBased on the Technology Acceptance Model-Planning Behavior Theoretical Framework (TAM-TPB), we used the survey data of 660 professional grain farmers in Jiangxi Province, China, and used the structural equation model to explore the influencing factors of the willingness of professional grain farmers to plant high-quality rice, and combined with the multi-group analysis method, we further discussed the differences between different groups.Results and discussionThe results indicate that the willingness of occupational grain farmers to cultivate high-quality rice is primarily positively influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, with perceived behavioral control having the most significant impact, followed by perceived usefulness. …”
