“…Namely, with the improvement of psychological resilience, low neuroticism individuals reduce their addictive use of social media significantly. This also suggests that in addition to the buffering effect (reducing the risk of high-risk individuals), there is also an increasing effect (making low-risk individuals perform better) of psychological resilience, which echoes the current research results [ 57 ]. Our results show that low neurotic individuals likewise have a risk of addictive use of social media if their psychological resilience level is not high.…”

First-year college students’ adaptation problems and related mental health have attracted researchers’ attention. The current research focuses on the depressive symptoms of first-year college students and aims to explore the relationship between the neuroticism trait and depressive symptoms, the mediating effect of addictive use of social media, and the moderating effect of psychological resilience. Three-wave longitudinal data from 1128 first-year students at a university in Fujian Province, China, were collected within three months of their enrollment. PROCESS macro for SPSS with bootstrapping was used to test the model. Results showed that the prevalence of moderate to severe severity of depressive symptoms in first-year students was 10.28% (T1) and 11.17% (T3). Addictive use of social media (T2) plays a moderated mediator role in the relationship between neuroticism (T1) and depressive symptoms (T3) of first-year students. Specifically, a low neuroticism individual does not necessarily have a less addictive use of social media. Psychological resilience (T1) moderated the above mediation. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

“…This enhancing effect was also found in resilience. Although resilience has been frequently theorized as a buffer for more vulnerable groups when facing adverse events [ 56 ], one study found that resilience further facilitates well-being among less vulnerable people [ 57 ]. Future study may be needed to investigate the boundary condition and the mechanism for both buffering and enhancing effects.…”

Background Freshmen were found to use social networking sites (SNS) as a useful medium to effectively adjust to college life, which hints at a tendency to resort to SNS for social compensation. However, the compensatory use of SNS is usually problematic. Objective This study explores why a subgroup of freshmen developed depressive symptoms while socially adjusting to college by investigating the antecedent role of introversion, the explanatory role of compensatory use of SNS, and the protective role of perceived family support. The study is among the first to point out the relevance of the compensatory use of SNS in explaining the indirect association between introversion and depression with a longitudinal design. Methods A 3-wave panel sample of freshmen (N=1137) is used to examine the moderated mediation model. Results We found that introversion at Wave 1 positively predicted compensatory use of SNS at Wave 2 and subsequently increased depression at Wave 3 (unstandardized B=0.07, SE 0.02, P<.001, 95% CI 0.04-0.10; unstandardized B=0.09, SE 0.01, P<.001, 95% CI 0.06-0.12). The moderated mediation model further examined the buffering role of perceived family support within the link between introversion and compensatory SNS use (index=0.0031, SE 0.0015, 95% CI 0.0003-0.0062). Unexpectedly, we found that family support in Wave 1 decreased compensatory SNS use for less introverted freshmen in Wave 2 and further decreased depression in Wave 3. Conclusions Unexpectedly, our findings uncover an enhancing effect, rather than a buffering effect, of family support by embedding its effect within the relationship between introversion and compensatory SNS use. Appreciating the differences in the casual pathways for freshmen with different levels of introversion clarifies how SNS affect young adults' lives.

“…Findings from these studies reveal that PSOC and subjective well-being were significantly and positively associated among adults from a range of countries (the United States, Italy, China), from variously sized townships, and controlling for other factors such as resilience and senior services (Davidson & Cotter, 1991;Ditchman, Keegan, Batchos, Haak, & Johnson, 2017;Hilbrecht, Lero, Schryer, Mock, & Smale, 2017;Mak, Cheung, & Law, 2009;Moscato, Novara, Hombrados-Mendieta, Romano, & Lavanco, 2014;Ng & Fisher, 2016;Obst & Tham, 2009;Prezza et al, 2001;Prezza & Costantini, 1998;Ramos, Suarez, Leon, & Trinidad, 2017;Zhang, Yu, Zhang, & Zhou, 2017;Zhang, Zhang, Zhou, & Yu, 2018). More specifically, PSOC and subjective well-being demonstrated a positive relationship among adults in the United States (Davidson & Cotter, 1991); residents in various communities in Italy (Prezza et al, 2001;Prezza & Costantini, 1998); Chinese residents in Hong Kong and Beijing (Mak et al, 2009;Ng & Fisher, 2016;Zhang et al, 2017; Hispanic immigrants in rural Nebraska (Ramos et al, 2017); migrants in Italy (Moscato et al, 2014); and churchgoers in Australia (Obst & Tham, 2009), where the influence dimension of PSOC (SCI; was specifically related to life satisfaction (SWLS;Diener et al, 1985).…”

Sense of community and well‐being are considered core tenets in the field of community psychology, acting as focal points for theory, research, and action. This integrative review synthesizes the empirical literature on sense of community and well‐being with respect to four research questions focused on the relationships between these variables, the methodologies used to study those relationships, and how future research might expand upon the current literature. A search of the available literature produced 30 articles that met the search criteria, based primarily on conceptualizations and measurement of both sense of community and hedonic and eudaimonic well‐being. This review suggests a general consensus across the literature of a positive relationship between sense of community and well‐being among both youth and adults in a variety of settings, and discusses the strengths and limitations of this area of research, pointing to the need for more nuanced, ecologically valid research that incorporates more qualitative and critical methodologies. We hope that this review can promote a more thorough understanding of how sense of community and individual well‐being relate to each other, and that ongoing research in this area can be a catalyst for action research and interventions that are applied to pressing contemporary issues as well as strengths‐based approaches focused on how to foster and support the well‐being of individuals within their community contexts.
