Background This study examined the role of anxiety and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) burnout in the relationship between coronavirus stress and overeating among Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Chinese college students (N = 2926; Mage = 19.90, SD = 1.47, range = 18–25 years old; 54.34% female) completed self-reported online questionnaires regarding coronavirus stress, anxiety, COVID-19 burnout, and overeating. Results Anxiety showed partially indirect effect on the association between coronavirus stress and overeating. COVID-19 burnout exacerbated the indirect pathway between coronavirus stress and overeating via anxiety. Discussion and conclusion This is the first study, to our knowledge, that examines the underlying mechanisms of the coronavirus stress and overeating behavior association among Chinese college students. The results support several existing theories on stress and problematic eating behaviors and provide practical implications for prevention and intervention programs of overeating during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on the data mining algorithm, this paper combines the background of the requirements for cultivating talents in the new era, the psychological characteristics, and learning features of contemporary college students and the realistic needs of the reform of the teaching of mental health education courses in colleges and universities. By analysing the characteristics, psychology, and causes of crime of contemporary university students, the study will explore the regular experience of guiding and preventing university students from committing crimes at the level of mental health education in universities, which will not only help to reduce the crime rate of university students but also extend to the prevention of crimes of other people in society through the work of mental health education in general, so as to reduce the crime rate in society and create a harmonious society. In this paper,the decision tree C4.5 algorithm and the association rule apriori algorithm are used to analyze the mental health data of college students, which can improve the teaching quality of college mental health education courses and enhance the psychological quality of college students. It is of great significance to improve the teaching quality of mental health education courses in colleges and universities and to enhance and improve the psychological quality and health literacy of college students.
Backgrounds and Aims: Self-compassion is important for authentic-durable happiness, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. To better understand the potential complexity of effects, this study sought to explore (a) the mediating role of meaning of life in the association between self-compassion and authentic-durable happiness and (b) the moderating role of COVID-19 burnout in the relationship between self-compassion and meaning of life. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey study in China from February 1 to 14, 2021. Online survey questionnaire technique and convenience sampling method were used for data collection. Participants anonymously completed the measures of selfcompassion scale short form, COVID-19 burnout scale, meaning in life questionnaire, and subjective authentic-durable happiness scale. The data were examined utilizing Pearson's r correlations and moderated mediation analysis. Results: This study included 1165 Chinese college students (M age = 19.68 years, SD = 1.37). Self-compassion (M = 3.39, SD = 0.49) was significantly positively associated with authentic-durable happiness (M = 3.82, SD = 0.66) (r = 0.45, p < 0.001), and mediation analyses indicated that meaning of life (M = 4.65, SD = 0.86) partially mediated this association (indirect effect = 0.103, SE = 0.016, 95% CI = [0.073, 0.135]). Moderated mediation analysis further revealed that COVID-19 burnout (M = 1.87, SD = 0.72) buffered the relation between self-compassion and meaning of life (β = −0.05, p < 0.033). Discussion and Conclusion: Findings of this study shed light on a correlation between self-compassion and authentic-durable happiness. In addition, this study underlines the importance of intervening in COVID-19 burnout among college students and enhancing the meaning of life in order to promote and safeguard authentic-durable happiness in the setting of COVID-19.
