    Objective: This article explored the demographic factors that influenced individual patience, risk perception, and coping strategies during the COVID-19 epidemic, and verified the mediating role of risk perception in patience and coping strategies.
    Methods: The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 411 Chinese people through the Patience Scale, Risk Perception Questionnaire and Coping Strategy Questionnaire.
    Results: (1)Patience, risk perception and coping strategies were affected by demographic variables. (2)The mediation model of Patience-Risk Cognition-Involvement Coping Strategy was established, and the model fit was good (χ2/df=2.176, GFI=0.945, RMSEA=0.054, CFI=0.943, AGFI=0.920). The overall effect was 0.518. The direct effect was 0.453, 95%CI 0.336 to 0.562, p<0.001, and the indirect effect was 0.066, 95%CI 0.021 to 0.128, p=0.003. All path coefficients were significant. (3)The model of Patience-Risk Cognition-Maintenance Coping Strategy was established, and the model fit was general (χ2/df=2.925, GFI=0.926, RMSEA=0.069, CFI=0.885, AGFI=0.892). The overall effect was -0.178. The direct effect was -0.210, 95%CI -0.348 to -0.060, p=0.007, and the indirect effect was 0.031, 95%CI 0.000 to 0.090, p=0.051. All path coefficients were significant.
    Conclusions: (1) The results of demographic factors suggest that under the pressure of COVID-19, some groups need additional attention from epidemic prevention and control departments. (2) patience can positively predict involvement coping strategies through risk perception, which provides a basis for individuals to exercise patience.

    Objective: The study aims to investigate the impact of experiential avoidance and sleep quality on bullying victimization in school and suicidal ideation among adolescents.
    Methods: The study recruited 767 middle school students to complete the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation.
    Results: There were significant positive correlations between bullying victimization in school and experiential avoidance, sleep quality, or suicidal ideation. Bullying victimization in school can influence adolescent suicidal ideation through a mediating chain of experiential avoidance, sleep quality, experiential avoidance and sleep quality, with the mediating effects accounting for 27.707%, 13.535%, and 17.070% of the total effect, respectively.
    Conclusion: There are multiple mediating effects of experiential avoidance and sleep quality between bullying victimization in school and adolescents' suicidal ideation, and reducing the level of bullying victimization in school can act on experiential avoidance and sleep quality, which in turn affects adolescents' suicidal ideation. This has some practical implications for helping adolescents grow up healthily and preventing and reducing suicidal behaviors.

    Objective: This study examined the effect of parent-child attachment on mobile phone addiction in adolescents and the chain mediation of emotion regulation self-efficacy and loneliness in this relationship.
    Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 417 adolescents from a middle school in northern Sichuan Province with convenience sampling method. The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), Adolescent Emotion Regulation Self-Efficacy Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) were used to measure the study variables. Correlation, regression and mediation analysis were conducted on these data.
    Results: (1) Parent-child attachment was significantly positively associated with emotion regulation self-efficacy and significantly negatively associated with loneliness and adolescent mobile phone addiction; (2) parent-child attachment could directly predict mobile phone addiction of adolescents and also indirectly predict it by the mediating roles of emotion regulation self-efficacy and loneliness; (3) emotion regulation self-efficacy and loneliness showed significant chain mediating effect in the relationship between parent-child attachment and mobile phone addiction.
    Conclusion: Parent-child attachment did not only directly affect mobile phone addiction in adolescents, but also indirectly affect it through emotion regulation of self-efficacy and loneliness.

    Objective: To explore the impact of fear of missing out (FoMO) on social media on online social anxiety, and to explore the mediating role of passive use of social networking sites and the moderating role of emotional intelligence.
    Methods: The convenience sampling method was adopted in 2021, and a total of 501 college students were investigated by using the Fear of Missing Out Scale, Social Anxiety Scale for Social Media Users, Surveillance Use Scale, and emotional intelligence scale. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated mediation effect test were performed on the collected data.
    Results: (1) FoMO on social media was positively correlated with the online social anxiety score (r=0.330, p<0.001); (2) Passive use of social networking sites played a partial mediating role in the relationship between FoMo on social media and online social anxiety; (3) Having a regulated mediation showed that the first half of the mediating effect of “FoMO on social media- passive use of social networking sites- online social anxiety” was regulated by emotional intelligence.
    Conclusions: FoMO on social media can not only directly affect online social anxiety, but also indirectly affect online social anxiety through passive use of social networking sites. Furthermore, emotional intelligence plays a moderating role in the first half of this mediating model.

    Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a first-line treatment for depression recommended by the World Health Organization. It is based on empirical research and alleviates patients’ depressive symptoms by improving interpersonal relationships. This paper introduced the application process of IPT in treating adolescents and found that the therapeutic effect of this method was better than the conventional therapy after comparative analysis. Moreover, IPT could significantly improve self-concept and social adaption of adolescents. The therapeutic effects of IPT and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy were similar. In addition, there were many forms and expansions of IPT in adolescents, and the effects had also been confirmed, that was worth doing more promotion and applied research in the future.

    Patient targeted googling (PTG) is the behavior of obtaining patient-related information through search engines, social platforms, etc. In the field of mental health services, PTG is widely disputed because of its complex ethical issues: on the one hand, PTG may violate patient privacy, undermine treatment boundaries, and affect treatment relationships. On the other hand, PTG can help to evaluate and screen patients, and also, at critical moments, ensure patient safety. Therefore, it is essential to research further on PTG in the field of mental health services and to establish corresponding ethical standards and decision-making procedures for the purpose of regulating and managing the PTG behavior of professionals.

    As one of the expression forms of bullying, gender-based bullying mainly refers to bullying that causes physical or psychological harm to others based on gender discrimination, gender role expectations or gender stereotypes, and gender power differences. The specific expression forms can be divided into three categories: bullying based on physiological gender characteristics, gender expression, and sexual orientation and gender identity. Several psychological processes can explain the gender-based bullying, including cognitive mechanism, normative mechanism, and social motivation mechanism. In the future, we can conduct in-depth research on the physiological mechanism, group characteristics, or cultural differences of gender bullying.

    Neutrality is an important position of psychoanalysis, but what neutrality is and how to achieve it have been controversial. This study sums up three abilities of neutrality in clinical practice through the analysis of Freud’s original literature and the combing of later studies. Equanimity refers to a neutral state of treating any feelings equally without any attachment through a systematic Buddhist training. Compared with the current western mindfulness training to cultivate analysts’ abilities of neutrality, equanimity has a more comprehensive and in-depth exploration and practice on what neutrality is and how to cultivate it. The neutrality embodied in equanimity is of great significance and profound enlightenment to the clinical tension faced by the neutrality of psychoanalysis. Combining the Buddhist theory of equanimity and systematic training is helpful to cultivating the neutrality of analysts.
