In ideological and political education in Chinese universities, while the “heads-up rate”—referring to superficial engagement—has improved through teaching reforms, a notable gap remains between this and the “hearts-in rate,” which reflects genuine value recognition and emotional resonance. This discrepancy substantially undermines teaching effectiveness. Based on embodied cognition theory, this study examines the causes of such disconnections in current teaching practice, including the separation of body and mind, the disjuncture between knowledge and action, overreliance on technological spectacle, and the lack of contextual immersion. Correspondingly, a four-pronged teaching strategy is proposed: shifting instructional objectives from knowledge transmission to value embedding, designing content to foster situated and immersive experiences, introducing action-oriented teaching methods, and implementing process-focused evaluation. The findings highlight the significance of incorporating embodied cognition into ideological education to strengthen student engagement and promote internalization of values. This study also offers a transferable model for the localization of teaching innovation within the context of socialist education with Chinese characteristics.

Crime has always been a topic of great concern. In recent years, the onset age of criminal behavior has shown a noticeable downward trend. At the same time, adolescent bullying is also a popular topic of continuous discussion. Therefore, by reviewing and synthesizing previous studies, this article aims to explore the psychological mechanism behind the criminal behavior caused by adolescent bullying. This article will summarize and analyze the research of predecessors, and build a psychological path mechanism from bullying to crime from the three perspectives of self-esteem, psychological disorder and imitation behavior. The study found that the low self-esteem, psychological disorders and imitation behaviors caused by campus bullying all had a promoting effect on crime. Therefore, the governments should strengthen the management of adolescent bullying and the attention and protection of the mental health of teenagers. This study emphasizes the necessity and importance of positive psychological guidance and campus bullying defense as soon as possible. Furthermore, this study also provides a foundation for future research on juvenile criminal psychology and bullying psychology.

In the digital revolution of higher education, a significant challenge for higher education institutions is to address the issue of accessibility and inclusion in newly emerging digital learning environments. In this paper, the author synthesize the work of ten empirical studies to investigate how accessibility and inclusion could be achieved in digital learning design. In total, this study analyzed four digital learning design approaches including the assistance of AI platforms, VR/AR simulated environments, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and digital library systems. Results indicate that immersive technology can be a powerful tool to promote students’ engagement, however, students with sensory, cognitive or mobility disabilities may also be excluded by poor usability and sensory overload issues, especially for dyslexic students. The application of AI learning platforms indicates promising potential for personalized and accessible experiences. In addition, digital library and open educational resources can also extend access to diverse learners. Moreover, the UDL model can be an efficient theoretical basis for designing inclusive digital learning, which emphasizes multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression. The paper seeks to make a contribution towards the establishment of sustainable, inclusive and technology based learning ecosystems using multimodal design standards, cross-disciplinary cooperation and institutional support.

Eyewitness testimony has historically been considered strong evidence in criminal investigation and legal decision-making. However, research in psychology and neuroscience demonstrates that memory is flexible, reconstructive, and subject to errors. This review presents the literature from the last twenty years to consider how psychological factors; especially stress, narrowing of attention, and susceptibility to post-event information, interact with legal processes to conform to the accuracy of eyewitness evidence. Taking into consideration the experimental, field research, and meta-analyses, it begins with contextual analysis of how stress and attentional narrowing affect availability and retrieval in high pressure situations, but then reviews research on misinformation effects, memory conformity and cognitive mechanisms such as source monitoring errors that contribute to memory errors. It also assess the role of procedural variables in the Justice system where procedures may facilitate or inhibit accuracy (interview techniques, lineup structure, administrator bias, recording confidence). Altogether, the literature demonstrates eyewitness memory is influenced by internal psychological states as well as external procedural contexts. The last sections discuss practical repercussions for interviewing, identification procedures, and courtroom evaluation. The aim of this review is to provide stronger understanding on how to increase the reliability of eyewitness evidence by bridging findings from cognitive, forensic, and applied psychology.

In recent years, with the development of mobile internet and the widespread adoption of social platforms, team performance livestreams have become an important form of online entertainment for young users. Audiences support their favorite streamers through rewards, which not only satisfies the need for emotional release but also allows them to seek identity recognition and social connection through virtual interaction. This study aims to explore the consumer motivations behind audience reward behavior in team performance livestreams, with particular attention to the complex manifestations of these motivations in the context of “stress relief.” This study employed semi-structured in-depth interviews with over ten users who have experience in livestream rewarding, combined with qualitative analysis using open coding methods. The results indicate that audience reward motivations can be primarily categorized into three types: emotional reciprocity, identity construction, and competitive comparison. Among these, “emotional reciprocity” was the most frequently mentioned motivation, reflecting audiences’ desire to respond to the streamer’s emotional investment and companionship through rewards. “Identity construction” and “competitive comparison” demonstrated stronger social and group recognition needs, with audiences using consumption behavior to maintain self-image or to compete for group status. The study concludes that although most audiences enter livestreams with the primary intention of stress relief, when reward behavior becomes entangled with identity maintenance and collective competition, the stress-relieving effect is often difficult to sustain over time and may even exacerbate psychological burdens. Therefore, platforms should strengthen guidance on livestream content and interaction modes, particularly enhancing awareness of emotional manipulation and group psychology among adolescent users. Simultaneously, users should cultivate self-reflective awareness to avoid falling into irrational consumption patterns.

Given such speedy development of digital technologies, cyberbullying has now become a rather serious global public health hazard for the mental health of youths. Victims generally have serious psychological and behavioral problems such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, etc. and more harmful than the traditional one. This study explores the mechanism of cyberbullying victimization on adolescent’s mental, behavioral problems focusing on emotion dysregulation. A systematic review of empirical papers was conducted to show that cyberbullying victimization makes teenagers use ineffective emotion regulation methods like ruminating, self-blame, and imagining the worst. These strategies keep people stuck in a continual state of emotional distress. Due to the characteristics of cyberbullying that are anonymous, lasting, and difficult to escape, the process is even worse and weakens the adolescents' ability to cope. Emotion dysregulation then progresses into two main maladaptive pathways, internalizing problems like depression and anxiety, and externalizing problems like aggression and rule-breaking. In more serious cases, this may also increase the risk of self-harm and suicide. Longitudinal studies suggest that cyberbullying and emotional regulation problems feed off of each other. In addition, age and sex have similar influences on the strength of the impact. In general, the results show that it is necessary to have intervention regarding the regulation of emotions to prevent and reduce the psychological and behavioral problems of cyberbullying. Good strategies need to work on all levels – family, school and more wide-ranging policy action.

In recent years, the rapid growth of the Labubu collectible market has demonstrated how emotional consumption, social media influence, and scarcity-driven speculation have contributed to financial bubbles. Based on this background, this research discusses how social identity and herd behavior contribute to speculative demand in the designer toy market and compares it to the tulip mania in the 17th century. This literature review integrates empirical findings from behavioral psychology, consumer neuroscience, and social network studies, to focus on how social comparison, emotional contagion, and reward anticipation influence group decision-making. It also combines the studies about scarcity marketing and peer-driven consumption to reveal how artificial scarcity amplifies market enthusiasm. The research findings show that the consumers of Labubu generally rely on social media, such as trending topics, resale prices, and friends recommendations; in that case, herd behavior will be activated. This process is highly similar to the psychological heating up during the tulip mania. The literature reveals that: (1) social identity increases the tendency to take risks; (2) herd behavior weakens rational judgment; (3) scarcity amplifies emotional investment and speculative motives. This research ultimately concludes that the financial bubbles in the designer toy market are the result of the combined effects of social pressure, emotional contagion, and scarcity signals. It also suggests that the government should enhance consumer education, regulate platform mechanisms, and increase the transparency of the secondary market. This research provides a systematic perspective for understanding contemporary speculative consumption and offers insights for preventing financial bubbles in the contemporary market.

With the popularity of people’s caring about mental health, more and more news are related to mental disorder reports, and the public is also worrying about their own security. Based on some researches of meta-analysis, narrative reviews, and case reports, this paper uses narrative review to study the relationship between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder with criminal behavior and intervention methods. Interventions grounded in evidence, such as Social Cognition and Interaction Training (SCIT), the R&R2-MHP program, Metacognitive Training (MCT), and schema therapy, show promise in enhancing cognitive deficits, managing emotions, and curbing impulsivity, which can lead to a decrease in violent risk. This paper finds that schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder patients have a higher risk of engaging in criminal behavior than the general, underscoring the necessity of early detection, improved diagnostic instruments, and broader clinical studies, despite the methodological constraints present in the various investigations. Enhancing intervention strategies could facilitate recovery, diminish violence, and foster safer and more knowledgeable societal reactions to serious mental disorders.

This review examines the mechanisms through which parenting styles influence depressive emotions in adolescents within the context of contemporary changes in Chinese family structures, and proposes corresponding intervention strategies. Grounded in attachment theory and family systems theory, the paper systematically outlines the core characteristics of authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting styles. It further explores the underlying mechanisms through multiple pathways including emotional regulation, cognitive schemas, and neuroendocrine responses. The study indicates that authoritative parenting serves as a protective factor against depressive emotions, while non-authoritative parenting styles significantly increase the risk of depression among adolescents. Based on these findings, intervention strategies are proposed in two main directions: parental training in nurturing skills and restoration of family system functioning. These aim to improve the quality of parent-child interaction and enhance adolescents' emotional adaptability. This research provides a theoretical basis for understanding the psychological pathways underlying the weakening of family emotional function and offers practical references for family-based psychological interventions.

E-sports, which are marked by fierce competition, strong group identification, and high emotional commitment, have emerged as a dominant type of modern online subculture due to the quick growth of Internet technology and digital culture. This study investigates how the distinct cultural ecology of e-sports—which includes anonymity, instantaneous communication, and fiercely divided fan communities—creates an environment that is conducive to cyberbullying and emotional escalation. Based on the SIDE model, social identity theory, subculture theory, and mechanisms of moral disengagement, the analysis demonstrates how e-sports communities create inflexible in-group and out-group boundaries through player, team, and community hierarchy allegiance. While cognitive methods like responsibility dispersal and dehumanization justify hostile acts toward competitor groups, depersonalization and group polarization exacerbate collective emotions. Because of this, emotionally charged competition settings frequently turn casual onlookers into participants in online animosity. Developing successful governance measures and educational interventions to promote healthier involvement and lessen cyberbullying in digital subcultures requires an understanding of these socio-psychological processes.
