This study examines the mediating role of the academic self-efficacy of high school students in Tibetan and Qiang areas of China on the relationship between their mental health and learning engagement, as well as their gender and grade-specific differences in mental health, learning engagement, and academic self-efficacy. The authors drew 600 valid samples in Tibetan and Qiang areas of China, built a measurement model and a structure model, established a structural equation model comprising the mental health scale, the learning engagement scale, and the academic self-efficacy scale, and conducted an independent sample t -tests and a one-way analysis of variance. The questionnaires took the form of the 5-point Likert scale. This research shows that the mental health of high school students in Tibetan and Qiang areas of China has a significant positive impact on their learning engagement and academic self-efficacy and that their academic self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on their learning engagement. Academic self-efficacy produces an overwhelming mediating effect on the ways mental health influences learning engagement. High school students, male and female, in Tibetan and Qiang areas of China show no marked gender-specific differences in mental health, learning engagement, and academic self-efficacy, while junior high school students show marked grade-specific differences in mental health, and senior high school students show marked grade-specific differences in learning engagement and academic self-efficacy. This article concludes that improving the academic self-efficacy of high school students in Tibetan and Qiang areas of China can boost their learning engagement.

“…Second, the findings suggested that depression and anxiety played a mediating role in the DBTP effect on mobile phone addiction, which was in line with previous research that mental health worsens when DBTP increases ( Oyanadel and Buela-Casal, 2014 ), which for adolescents tends to lead to higher mobile phone addiction ( Li et al, 2022 ). The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increase in mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression ( Shanafelt et al, 2020 ), panic, and other negative emotions ( Hagerty and Williams, 2020 ).…”

“…The method calculates the difference between the actual and ideal scores on the five dimensions, squares the five differences and adds them together, and then finally squares the sum of the squares for the five differences. The optimal critical value was also revised to fit the Chinese version of ZTPI as reported in Jankowski et al (2020) , Li et al (2022) and Li and Lv (2022) the higher the DBTP, the more unbalanced the DBTP.…”

BackgroundFew studies have examined the impact that the deviation from balanced time perspective (DBTP) had on mobile phone addiction during the COVID-19 normalization prevention and control phase. Therefore, this study sought to determine the associations between DBTP, depression and anxiety, self-control, and adolescent mobile phone addiction.MethodsThe moderated mediating model was tested using the SPSS PROCESS model. The sample was 1,164 adolescents from different regional areas of Sichuan, China. From February to March 2020, participants completed the Zimbardo time perspective inventory (ZTPI), the brief symptom inventory for physical and mental health (BSI-18), the self-control scale (SCS), and the Chinese version of the mobile phone addiction index (MPAI).ResultsThe DBTP was significantly and positively correlated with mobile phone addiction, depressive and anxiety symptoms mediated the relationship between DBTP and mobile phone addiction, self-control moderated the indirect effect of DBTP on mobile phone addiction, and as the level of self-control increased, the effect of DBTP on anxiety and depression and the effect of depression and anxiety on mobile phone addiction weakened.ConclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, DBTP and lower self-control were risk factors for higher mobile phone addiction in adolescents. Therefore, guiding adolescents to balance their time perspective and enhance their self-control could strengthen their psychological well-being and reduce addictive mobile phone behaviors. This research was supported by “Youth Fund of the Ministry of Education” (18YJCZH233): “Research on the plastic mechanism of decision-making impulsiveness of anxious groups in the context of risk society.”

“…In terms of emotional stability in the core self-evaluation, students with higher emotional stability tend to maintain a positive and optimistic emotional attitude in the face of academic stress, and are less likely to fall into an emotional trough, which helps to stabilize their psychological state. Students with strong self-control can better manage their emotions and learning strategies, thus reducing academic stress (Li et al, 2022 ). Meanwhile, individuals with stronger adaptive ability can more flexibly cope with different academic challenges and changes, and are less likely to experience excessive emotional fluctuations due to stress.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the role of college students' core self-evaluation in the association between extracurricular physical exercise and academic stress, and to provide a reference and basis for effectively alleviating current college students' academic stress.MethodsA stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct an online survey using the China College Student Mental Health Screening Scale, the Core Self-Esteem Scale, and a self-developed questionnaire for 1,249 college students from 8 junior colleges in Jiangsu Province, China, in January 2023, and analyses were conducted using bivariate correlation and mediation effect tests.ResultsMore than half of the students were worried about lagging behind other students in their studies and worrying about exams, as well as more than half of the students had <2 h of extracurricular physical exercise per week in terms of academic stress. Significant correlations were found between extracurricular physical exercise time and core self-evaluation (r = 0.225, p < 0.01), academic stress (r = −0.317, p < 0.01), and between core self-evaluation and academic stress (r =−0.371, p < 0.01). Extracurricular physical exercise had a negative predictive effect on academic stress (effect = −0.306, 95%CI: −0.361~-0.251) and partially through the mediating path of core self-evaluation, (effect = −0.067, 95%CI: −0.091~-0.046), with a mediating effect of 21.9%. Among them, the mediating effect of core self-evaluation was highest in “worrying about lagging behind other students in their studies” and “worrying about exams”, which accounted for 24.4% and 24.3% respectively.ConclusionCurrently, college students have different degrees of academic stress; extracurricular physical exercise can reduce academic stress through direct effects, and also through the indirect effect of improving the level of core self-evaluation, and active extracurricular physical exercise has become an important way to promote students' physical and mental health.
