Objective: To explore the relationship between intergenerational relationships, parenting model, and couples' marriage satisfaction.
Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 64 married individuals across 10 cities in China. Genograms were drawn, the interviews were analyzed using the thematic approach, and theoretical constructs were developed.
Results: A typical Chinese family consists of five types of intergenerational parenting models: independent parenting, single-party participation, single-party assistance, two-party participation, and two-party assistance. Differences in the genograms of families different levels of marrital satisfaction were observed. Families with high marital satisfaction tend to for nuclear families, while those with low marital satisfaction exhibit relatively disorganized intergenerational relationships, though exceptions exist. Furthermore, the ‘boundaries and balance’ and the ‘genetic phenomenon’in families of origin are also noteworthy in Chinese families.
Conclusion: Intergenerational parenting model influences marrital satisfaction. Typical genogram can be used as an adjunct to psychotherapy, providing counselors with a macro perspective.

Objective: To explore the formation, perfection, and influence of marriage matching patterns of young couples.
Methods: A balanced regional representative sample of 10 young urban Chinese couples was selected for semi-structured interviews, and the interview contents were analyzed using grounded theory.
Result: The essence of matching is the satisfaction of the needs of both parties in the marriage exchange. The initial matching of ‘resource equivalence’ and ‘trait fit’ is formed based on active mate selection in the marriage-building stage. After the establishment of marriage, specific matching patterns such as ‘relationship boundary,’ ‘relationship management,’ ‘role division,’ and ‘power relationship’ are formed through adjustment; It is more important to achieve the matching of high demand level and the internal matching.
Conclusion: The essence of marital matching lies in the mutual satisfaction of needs in the marriage exchange, which is a dynamic and complex process. When choosing a partner, individuals need to carefully assess and weigh the compatibility of each other's psychological resources, personalities, and beliefs. Once the marriage is established, both parties need to continuously adjust through specific interactions. The matching pattern of a happy marriage is not a rigid, perfectly fitting one, but a dynamic equilibrium that is flexible and adaptable to change.

Objective: To explore the power responses of young individuals in romantic relationships in conflict situations, as well as the conflict narratives that characterize responders with different levels of power.
Methods: A total of 42 young individuals in romantic relationships were selected for semi-structured interviews, and the content of the interviews was analyzed using grounded theory.
Results: Individuals with high power responses are more destructive to the romantic relationship and tend to intensify the conflict, causing themselves and/or their partner to experience negative emotions. Individuals with low power responses exhibit both proactive and reactive behaviors, which can be destructive or constructive, Individuals with egalitarian responses are more constructive to the romantic relationship, facilitating conflict resolution and relationship repair. Participants at different power levels have distinct descriptions of conflict situations, which can be classified into six types based on the presence or absence of cognitive, emotional, and intervention components.
Conclusions: Individuals in romantic relationships have different levels of power responses to conflict, each with specific tendencies and missing components in their conflict narratives. Proactive and constructive behaviors are more helpful in resolving conflicts.

Objective: To explore the psychological characteristics of young single groups and the impact of choosing to remain single on them.
Methods: Twenty-six youths in the state of singleness were selected for in-depth interviews. The content of the interviews was analyzed and theoretically constructed by using rooting theory.
Results: The single group is divided into pursuers, freekeepers, and blankers, each with distinct psychological characteristics and needs. Pursuers focus more on emotional needs and mainly face difficulties in choosing a partner; freekeepers prioritize autonomy needs and mainly face socialization challenges; and blankers exhibit characteristics of both. In addition to the conflict between emotional fulfillment and self-development, single youths need to cope with the conflict between their personal choices and the social expectations.
Conclusion: Different types of single groups face both different dilemmas and similar conflicts. Youth can only adapt better by balancing their emotional needs and autonomy needs.

Objective: To explore the power dynamics in romantic relationships by examining the sources, flow, and effects of power, and to construct a theoretical model of power in romantic relationships.
Methods: Using qualitative research methods, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 pairs of couples from 10 different cities. Grounded theory was employed to analyze the interview data.
Results: The power in romantic relationships originates from various factors within the relationship and the environment. It fluctuates over time and across different scenarios, impacting cognition and behavior. The power balance between partners does not directly determine relationship satisfaction. Instead, the alignment between an individual’s actual power and their power needs affects the harmony of the relationship and personal satisfaction.
Conclusion: The development of power in romantic relationships can be modeled by incorporating the sources, flow, and effects of power. The match between an individual's actual power and their power needs plays a crucial role in their romantic experience.

Objective: To explore the emotional orientation and corresponding focus areas of young people on the topic of marriage and love.
Methods: A combination of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model and sentiment analysis was used to study and summarize the content related to marriage and love topics on Zhihu platform.
Results: A corpus of marriage and love topics on Zhihu was established, consisting of 2 974 entries spanning from April 2018 to June 2022. The findings are as follows: (1) High-frequency words in marriage and love topics include children, parents, divorce, betrayal, breakup, dating, confession, work, study, emotions, and so on. (2) The positive sentiment values of marriage and love topics are significantly higher than the negative sentiment values. However, there is a considerable presence of negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and sadness. (3) Positive themes in marriage and love topics include marriage reality, romantic relationship psychology, chatting and dating, mate selection, and beautiful stories. Negative themes include marriage pressure, negative experiences, negative news, and conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Conclusion: Young people exhibit positive expectations and responses towards marriage and love topics, but the negative emotions exhibited in certain topics also need to be acknowledged and understood.

Objective: To explore the effect of perceived stress on sleep quality and the mediating effects of positive and negative rumination in primary medical staff.
Methods: A total 1 765 primary medical staff were surveyed using a general demographic questionnaire, the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Positive and Negative Rumination Scale (PNRS). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation analysis and structural equation modeling.
Results: The prevalence of sleep problems among primary medical staff was 62.8% (1 109 persons). Sleep quality was positively correlated with perceived stress, negatively correlated with positive rumination, and positively correlated with negative rumination (p<0.01). Perceived stress had a direct effect on sleep quality (p<0.001) with an effect size of 0.015. The mediating effects of positive rumination and negative rumination between perceived stress and sleep quality were significant (p<0.001). The total mediation effect was 0.026, accounting for 63.41% of the total effect.
Conclusion: Perceived stress directly affects the sleep quality of primary medical staff and also impacts sleep quality through the mediating effects of positive and negative rumination.

Objective: To understand the current situation of neglect among middle school students in Shenzhen and explore the relationship between neglect and parenting styles.
Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to select one middle school and one high school from both urban villages and non-urban village areas in Shenzhen, totaling four schools. Stratified random cluster sampling was then employed, selecting two classes per grade from each school, covering grades 7-9 for middle schools and grades 10-12 for high schools, resulting in a total of 12 classes. Students from these classes were surveyed using demographic questionnaires, the Middle School Students’ Neglect Evaluation Questionnaire, and the Parenting Style Evaluation Scale. and scale were used to investigate the current state of neglect among middle school students in Shenzhen and analyze the parenting styles.
Results: Out of 1 019 teenagers surveyed, 995 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 97.64%. Among the respondents, 331 students experienced neglect, with an overall neglect rate of 33.27% and a neglect score of 50.87. There were statistically significant differences in neglect rates among different groups, including gender, grade level, household registration, source of admission, parental education level, family type, and parental relationship (p<0.05). Scores for ‘strict punishment’ and ‘denial or refusal’ parenting styles by both fathers and mothers were higher than the national average, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Analysis showed that students who were not neglected scored higher in the ‘emotional warmth’ dimension of both parents’ parenting styles, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Parents should emphasize communication with their children in family life, and an emotionally warm parenting style can greatly reduce the feeling of neglect among children. Schools and society should actively guide parents to master correct parent-child communication methods and promote family-school-society collaborative education. Parents should enhance their communication with schools and strive to improve their own parenting knowledge and skills.

Objective: To investigate the influence of self-control on the school adjustment of college freshmen and the mediating role of coping style.
Methods: A total of 1 675 college freshmen in Jiangsu Province were surveyed using the Chinese College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS), Self-Control Scale (SCS), and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ).
Results: (1) Self-control, positive coping, and school adjustment were positively correlated with each other (self-control and positive coping: r=0.475, p<0.001; self-control and school adjustment: r=0.708, p<0.001; positive coping and school adjustment: r=0.632, p<0.001). Negative coping was negatively correlated with self-control and school adjustment (self-control and negative coping: r=-0.325, p<0.001; negative coping and school adjustment: r=-0.218, p<0.001). (2) Self-control not only directly affected the school adjustment of college freshmen, but also indirectly affected it through positive and negative coping styles, with the indirect effect accounting for 28.5% of the total effect.
Conclusion: Self-control and coping style are important influencing factors for the school adjustment of college freshmen, and positive and negative coping styles play a mediating role between self-control and school adjustment.
