“…The sense of safety significantly impacts residents' sleep in the social environment, which is the same conclusion of the previous study ( 65 ). Fear and restlessness may make a person vulnerable to negative thoughts and emotions, thereby increasing the interference with sleep quality ( 66 ). Residents who lack a sense of safety may be in a negative state of sleep quality in residential areas where they are unfamiliar with each other, distrustful, and have a poor living environment (e.g., messy roads and no street lights at night) ( 67 ).…”

A complex urban living environment and residents' sleep quality are intrinsically linked. Nonetheless, there is little evidence that the residential environment affects sleep quality. Based on the results of subjective questionnaires, this study uses the multiple regression combined with mediation analysis to construct a mechanical model of the impact of urban residential environmental perception characteristics on residents' sleep quality. Moreover, the differences among the influence intensities of the significant factors are compared and the results show that (1) in low-density environments (FAR < 2) and lower floors (4–6), residents sleep longer and have better sleep quality; (2) the environmental quality and service facilities of the physical environment and the sense of safety in the social environment have a significant impact on residents' sleep quality; and (3) the mental health of residents play a significant intermediary role in the relationship between social environment and sleep quality, with the highest effect accounting for 33.88%. The influence mechanisms of various environmental factors in a residential area on sleep quality were revealed and a more refined design basis for a healthy urban living environment, community renewal, and renovation was provided.

“…Lastly, associated with the second and third contributions, results of this study provide a better understanding of family cohesion in social science. Family cohesion is a complex and a long-term concept (Ye et al , 2022) that refers to the degree to which family members feel connected and supportive of one another. Family cohesion has been discussed extensively in the family dynamic and family relationship literature (e.g.…”

PurposeThis study explores the effects of parents' attending status and alcohol consumption (scenario based) on their feelings of happiness, relaxation, family cohesion and family satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a 2 (attending status: with a child or without a child) X 3 (alcohol consumption: water, a cup of beer or four cups of beers) between-subjects experimental design on an art festival and employs relational cohesion theory while spillover theory.FindingsThe results reveal (1) significant differences between parents' attending status on happiness and relaxation; (2) significant differences between alcohol consumption on happiness, family cohesion, and family satisfaction and (3) happiness significantly mediates the effect of parents' alcohol consumption on family cohesion and family satisfaction.Practical implicationsAttending art festivals provides families with a chance to consolidate family relationships. Art festival planners could promote the festival through enhancing participants' family cohesion and satisfaction through potential family leisure activities.Originality/valueEvents are an emerging topic in the hospitality and tourism discipline in recent years. Social impacts, especially family-related outcomes, on art festivals are barely examined. Additionally, while alcohol consumption is common in festivals, the influence of alcohol consumption on the attendees' emotions and behaviors is under-researched.

“…Similarly, both Hu et al (2020) and Mohindra et al (2020) showed that healthy family environments were associated with the provision of family support, which encouraged effective coping among individual family members. Finally, Ye et al (2022) showed a direct negative association between family cohesion and perceived stress during the pandemic.…”

“…Among families and married individuals, these stressors were often expressed in additional daily hassles. Not surprisingly, the months following the outbreak of the pandemic were also characterized by a clear rise in negative psychological outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and distress among both individuals ( Barzilay et al, 2020 ; Forte et al, 2020 ; Kimhi et al, 2020 ; Polizzi et al, 2020 ; Ye et al, 2022 ) and families (e.g., Goldberg et al, 2021 ; Gray et al, 2020 ).…”

Daily stress, family functioning and mental health among Palestinian couples in Israel during COVID-19: A moderated mediation model

The COVID-19 pandemic created a range of stressors, among them difficulties related to work conditions, financial changes, lack of childcare, and confinement or isolation due to social distancing. Among families and married individuals, these stressors were often expressed in additional daily hassles, with an influence on mental health. This study examined two moderated mediation models based on Bodenmann’s systemic-transactional stress model. Specifically, the models tested the hypothesis that intra-dyadic stress mediates the association between extra-dyadic stress and mental health, while two measures of family functioning, cohesion and flexibility, moderate the relationship between extra and intra-dyadic stress. Participants were 480 Palestinian adults in Israel who completed self-report questionnaires. All were in opposite-sex marriages and identified as either cisgender women or cisgender men. The results showed partial mediation patterns supporting both models, indicating that family cohesion and flexibility weakened the mediating effect of intra-dyadic stress on the relationship between extra-dyadic stress and mental health. These findings increase our understanding of the variables that affected mental health during the pandemic, and suggest that when faced with extra-dyadic stress, married individuals with good family environments are less likely to experience high levels of intra-dyadic stress, which is in turn associated with preserved mental health. Limitations and implications for planning interventions for couples and families during the pandemic are discussed.
