With the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the phenomenon of AI dependence has become increasingly salient. In light of this, the present paper outlines the current research landscape and proposes future research prospects for AI dependence from the following aspects: conceptual definitions, measurement tools, theoretical foundation, influencing factors, and major consequences. AI dependence generally refers to a situation where certain users' reliance on AI goes far beyond normal usage levels, progressing to the point of excessive dependence or even addiction. Findings showed that there is still no consensus on the conceptual definition of AI dependence, and measurement tools remain relatively limited. The theoretical foundations of AI dependence research primarily include the Attachment Theory, I-PACE Model, Self-Efficacy Theory, and others. The key influencing factors of AI dependence encompass user-related factors (e.g., psychodynamic factors, psychological process factors, psychological characteristic factors), technological environment factors (e.g., AI technology characteristics), and social environment factors (e.g., social isolation). The main consequences of AI dependence include psychological impacts (e.g., diminished personal capabilities, increased negative emotions) and behavioral impacts (e.g., academic procrastination, sleep disorder). In the future, studies should further advance AI dependence research by deepening conceptual definitions and measurement tools development, enhancing the cross-disciplinary application of theoretical frameworks, broadening the examination of contributing factors, strengthening the investigation into its consequential effects, and conducting intervention research.

Objective: To develop a Fire Fighting and Rescue Personnel Competency Scale and examine its reliability and validity.
Methods: The initial scale was constructed through systematic literature review, data retrieval, and semi-structured interviews with 24 Chinese fire fighting and rescue personnels in July 2024. Subsequently, in November 2024, the initial version was administered to 863 participants for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, resulting in the formal scale. Finally, in December 2024, the formal scale was administered to 432 fire fighting and rescue personnels, and the data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis and reliability and validity analyses.
Results: The final Fire Fighting and Rescue Personnel Competency Scale consists of 32 items across four dimensions: cognitive characteristics, interpersonal coordination, personal traits, and professional competence. The internal consistency coefficients for the total scale and subscales ranged from 0.890 to 0.961. The four-factor model demonstrated acceptable fit: χ²/df=3.117, CFI=0.894, TLI=0.887, SRMR=0.049, RMSEA=0.070. Significant positive correlations were found between the total and subscale scores and measures of work engagement and professional identity, indicating good criterion-related validity.
Conclusion: The Fire Fighting and Rescue Personnel Competency Scale demonstrates good reliability and validity and can be used for assessing competency among Chinese fire fighting and rescue personnels.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the impact of parental helicopter parenting congruence and incongruence on the depression of emerging adult offspring, along with the mediating role of family orientation in this relationship.
Methods: Participants were 2 973 university students from Yunnan Province. Measurements were conducted using the Helicopter Parenting Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Family Orientation Subscale extracted from the Cross-Cultural (Chinese) Personality Inventory-2 (CPAI-2). Polynomial regression and response surface analysis were employed for the statistical processing of the collected data.
Results: (1) When parents exhibited congruent helicopter parenting, an increase in helicopter parenting intensity was associated with higher levels of depression in emerging adults. Additionally, greater overall helicopter parenting incongruency was linked to higher depression levels in emerging adults. (2) When parents consistently demonstrated either a high or low level of helicopter parenting, emerging adults tended to show lower levels of family orientation. Emerging adults' family orientation significantly diminished as helicopter parenting incongruency increased, with this effect being especially pronounced when mothers exhibited higher helicopter parenting intensity than fathers. (3) Family orientation played a significant mediating role between parental helicopter parenting and emerging adults' depression.
Conclusion: This study broadens the application of family systems theory in parenting research, revealing the impact of parental helicopter parenting congruence and incongruence on the depression of emerging adult offspring. It also highlights the psychological protective value of "family orientation" as a culturally relevant personality trait in the Chinese context, providing a new perspective on the relationship between family dynamics and individual psychological development.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between rejection sensitivity and cyber-ostracism, as well as the mediating role of self-affirmation in this relationship.
Methods: A total of 230 university student participants were recruited through convenience sampling on social media platforms in November 2024. Participants completed questionnaires including the Rejection Sensitivity Scale, the Self-affirmation Subscale of General Health Questionnaire-20 (GHQ-20), and the Cyber-ostracism Questionnaire for college students on the Questionnaire Star platform. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, difference test, and mediation analysis were conducted.
Results: (1) Rejection sensitivity, self-affirmation, and cyber-ostracism were significantly correlated with each other. (2) Both rejection sensitivity and self-affirmation showed significant gender differences. (3) After controlling for gender, rejection sensitivity not only positively predicted cyber-ostracism (β = 0.258,95% CI: 0.110 to 0.324), but also indirectly increased it by decreasing self-affirmation (β = 0.114,95% CI: 0.049 to 0.153), with this indirect effect accounting for 44.2% of the total effect.
Conclusion: Rejection sensitivity and self-affirmation are significant factors influencing undergraduates' cyber-ostracism. Self-affirmation plays a mediating role between rejection sensitivity and cyber-ostracism.

Objective: This study employs Weibo text analysis to investigate the emotional characteristics and expression patterns of individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits within the context of Weibo posts.
Methods: ADHD-related posts were collected from Weibo from 2022 to 2025 using a web crawler. Following data cleaning with R, manual screening was conducted based on specific criteria to identify: (1) posts from suspected ADHD individuals, and (2) first-person narratives containing emotional expressions. A final dataset of 207 eligible posts (containing 1 116 emotional clauses) was analyzed. Emotional categorization was performed using the Dalian University of Technology Sentiment Lexicon. The Jaccard coefficient and Markov chain analysis were applied to examine the patterns of emotional co-occurrence and dynamic transitions.
Results: The analysis revealed: (1) frequent co-occurrence of contradictory emotions (e.g., praise-blame, Jaccard coefficient=0.58), reflecting conflicts in daily self-evaluation and indicating deeper self-identity issues; (2) statistics reveal high-probability emotional transition pathways (e.g., annoyance → blame, 90.9%).
Conclusion: Individuals with suspected ADHD demonstrate a unique profile of contradictory emotional expression on social media. The characteristics of their emotional dynamics may provide precise targets for digital health interventions.

With the proliferation of internet technology, particularly the widespread application of artificial intelligence (AI), and the enhanced accessibility of therapists' personal information, therapist-targeted googling (TTG) has gradually become a noteworthy phenomenon in psychological counseling practice. Based on empirical studies conducted domestically and internationally, this research reviews the prevalence, motivations, and impact of TTG on therapeutic processes. It indicates that TTG is relatively common among clients even though they disclose such behavior infrequently. Motivations for TTG are diverse, including curiosity, verification of professional competence, attachment needs, and the pursuit of power balance. Emotional responses following TTG and its effects on the therapeutic relationship show considerable individual variation. While most outcomes are neutral to positive, some clients experience a crisis of trust due to conflicting information or perceived boundary ambiguities. Furthermore, drawing on traditional counseling principles such as self-disclosure, abstinence, and neutrality, this paper examines the challenges TTG poses to the therapist's professional role and therapeutic framework. The authors propose practical strategies to help psychotherapists better navigate the complexities of therapeutic relationships in the digital age, thereby enhancing safety and effectiveness of psychotherapy.

The study of the neural mechanisms of visual consciousness is hailed as a crown jewel of basic scientific research for humanity in the 21st century. In recent years, researchers have paid increasing attention to the issue that neural activity related to visual consciousness is easily confounded with neural activity related to conscious reports. This issue is also known as the "Refrigerator Door Problem." This paper systematically reviews the event-related potential (ERP) studies on the "Refrigerator Door Problem." By respectively reviewing research based on report-based and non-report-based paradigms, it analyzes and summarizes the progress and shortcomings of current research. This paper argues that future studies should focus on in-depth explorations of the relationships between the "Refrigerator Door Problem" and the concept of consciousness, non-report-based paradigms, and potential ERP components related to visual consciousness. This will contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of visual consciousness.

Eco-art therapy is a holistic and integrated approach to mental health practice. With the guidance of a counselor, clients engage in creative expression using natural art materials and natural environments to produce unique artworks. This method emphasizes mindful engagement in the creative process, helping individuals externalize inner struggles through artistic form, thereby improving psychological, physical, and emotional well-being. The dreamcatcher technique is one form of eco-art therapy. This article presents a case study of an anxious college student to illustrate the process of eco-art therapy. It details specific stages of the counseling process, including material selection, emotional exploration during creation, and self-reflection after completing the artwork. The study not only analyzes the intervention effects of eco-art therapy in this case but also explores its potential mechanisms, such as using natural imagery to promote emotional regulation, reconstructing meaning through artistic symbolism, and enhancing self-efficacy through hands-on practice. Finally, drawing on insights from the case, the article outlines future directions for eco-art therapy and highlights its potential value and application in mental health services for college students and broader populations.
