“…The SES factors in the current study included education degree of pregnant women, education degree of the husband, and monthly household income ( 46 , 72 ). Pregnant women were asked to report the education level of themselves and their husbands from 1 to 4 (1 = 9 years of education or below junior middle-school studies, 2 = 12 years of or senior middle-school studies, 3 = 14–15 years of education or 2–3-year college studies, 4 = 16 years of education or over bachelor's degree).…”

Previous studies have suggested that certain personality characteristics are associated with emotional distress during pregnancy. However, the underlying mechanism of this association is rarely understood. The current study investigated the links between personality and pregnant women's emotional distress (depressive and anxiety symptoms), tested the chain mediating effects of two resilience factors—social support and positive coping, and explored whether socioeconomic status (SES) could moderate the effects (including direct and/or indirect effects) of personality on their emotional distress. Results of a relatively large sample of pregnant women in China (N = 1157) showed positive associations for psychoticism and neuroticism with depressive and anxiety symptoms as well as negative associations for extraversion with depression and anxiety. After controlling for four important variables (the first pregnancy or not, having adverse pregnancy experience or not, being pregnant as planned or not, and number of weeks of pregnancy), social support and positive coping acted as chain mediators on the associations of personality with depressive symptoms as well as of personality with anxiety. Overall, the association of personality and depressive symptoms demonstrated invariance across socioeconomic status (SES). However, SES moderated the relationship between personality and anxiety. Specifically, the negative association of positive coping with anxiety symptoms was weaker for low SES women than for high SES ones. Results highlight the importance of social support and positive coping to decrease personality-related depressive and anxiety symptom among pregnant women. Furthermore, identifying other resilience factors that alleviate anxiety in women with low SES is urgently called for.

“…Based on this, we suggest that moderate thinking has played a moderating role between the COVID-19 pandemic and impulse buying. Specifically, individuals with high moderate thinking not only adjust their behavior to the environment when making decisions, but also emphasize self-control and refrain from fluctuating in transient emotions [ 21 , 67 , 68 , 70 ]. Thus, in the face of a serious threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers with high moderate thinking have made an effective shift from an emotion-based hot processing system to a cognitive-based cold processing system to achieve self-control in their behavior.…”

“…Event systems theory and its related research suggest that individuals subjectively encode, interpret, and make differential interpretations of their environment [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Individuals with moderate thinking can adjust their self-behavior according to the environment while emphasizing self-restraint [ 21 , 22 ], and therefore may have mitigated negative emotional and behavioral reactions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Based on event systems theory, this study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumers’ impulse buying, as well as the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions from the perspective of individual consumers. Results of three experiments (N = 437) show that, first, the COVID-19 pandemic enhanced consumers’ impulse buying behavior. Second, two key elements, loss of control and anxiety, mediated the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and impulse buying; and third, moderate thinking (also known as Zhong-Yong thinking) moderated the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and impulse buying. The findings indicate that in consumers with low moderate thinking, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a stronger effect on impulse buying and has mediated more between the loss of control and anxiety. Conversely, in consumers with high moderate thinking, COVID-19 has had a weaker effect on impulse buying and has mediated less between loss of control and anxiety. This study extends the application of event systems theory and enriches the literature on how the COVID-19 pandemic affects consumer behavior. Furthermore, it provides strategic recommendations for government and consumer responses to COVID-19 pandemic shocks.

“…It has been observed that exhibiting positive parenting attitudes, communicating well with adolescents, supporting the development of adolescents, adapting sensitively to their changing needs are perceived positively by adolescents and this has a positive effect on adolescents' lives, self-efficacy and emotion regulation (Smetana, 2017;White & Renk, 2012). Studies on parenting attitudes and their perceptions by adolescents have shown that parenting styles can have a significant impact on the mood of adolescents (Ebrahimi et al, 2017;Ernst et al, 2020;Hong and Cui, 2020;Hou et al, 2020). Studies show that parents who allow their children to express their feelings and comfort, encourage and help the child solve problems generally have children who can regulate their emotions better (Jin et al, 2017;Perry et al, 2020).…”

The research was designed according to the screening model in order to examine how the parental attitudes perceived by the adolescents predict the creativity levels and emotion regulation difficulties of the adolescents. The sample of the study consists of adolescents who continue their education as 9th grade students in Süleymanpaşa district of Tekirdağ province, selected by a convenient sampling method. In addition to the Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher, Parent Attitude Scale, Creativity Scale and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale were used to measure the variables examined in the study. Before performing the regression analysis, the normality of the distribution of the obtained scores was checked and it was seen that the data did not show a normal distribution. Logarithmic and square root transformation processes, which are the applicable methods to ensure normality, were performed and the normality of the distribution of the scores was examined again. The distribution was found to be normal and suitable for regression analysis. According to the results of the regression analysis, the scores of the adolescents from the Parent Attitude Scale explain 1.2% of their creativity levels and 22.7% of their emotion regulation. As the scores obtained from the Acceptance/Care sub-dimension of the Parent Attitude Scale increase, the scores obtained from the Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale decrease, while the total scores from the Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale decrease as the scores from the Psychological Autonomy sub-dimension increase. Based on these results, it can be said that parental attitudes perceived by adolescents predict adolescents' emotional regulation difficulties. The results obtained were discussed within the scope of perceived parental attitudes, creativity, emotion regulation difficulties and adolescence literature, and suggestions were made to experts and other researchers working in the field.
