Purpose This paper investigated the prevalence of mobile phone dependence (MPD) and its associated with learning burnout under the “double reduction” policy among adolescents in Guizhou Province in western China. In addition, the influence of the mediating mechanism of social support on this relationship was investigated. Methods The sample was collected from 16,216 adolescents in West China’s Guizhou province, from December 2021 to January 2022 via multistage stratified random sampling. The Self-rating Questionnaire for Adolescent Problematic Mobile Phone Use (SQAPMPU) was used to assess the MPD, the Adolescent Student Burnout Scale (ASBI) was used to assess the learning burnout, and the Social Support Scale (SSS) was used to assess the social support. A hierarchical linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between MPD, learning burnout, and social support. The mediating effect of social support between MPD and learning burnout was analyzed by structural equation model. Results Prevalence of MPD was 26.4% among adolescents in Guizhou province in western China. After adjusting for confounding variables like demographics, multiple linear regression model has revealed that learning burnout positively predicted MPD and social support negatively predicted MPD. The structural equation model showed that 10.9% of the effect was explained by the mediating effect of social support. Conclusion These findings could inform service delivery and policy formulation to reduce learning and avoid MPD in adolescents.

“…For example, there is a positive relationship between resilience and perceived social support when studying healthcare personnel [ 167 ] and individuals with serious illnesses [ 168 ]. Furthermore, research has supported the positive association between resilience and social support when analysing school and university students [ 169 , 170 ], as well as when examining emergency situations due to the COVID-19 pandemic [ 171 , 172 ].…”

The literature mostly has addressed the determinants of entrepreneurial intention in general and social entrepreneurship, without focusing specifically on sustainable entrepreneurial intention despite it has become highly relevant in addressing environmental degradation and social challenges. This study aims to contributes to the understanding of psychological and social factors that influence sustainable business, evaluating the effect of resilience, subjective norms, and perceived social support on sustainable entrepreneurial intention. We analysed the online survey responses of 433 students from Chile and Ecuador enrolled in business and engineering programs using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Models (PLS-SEM), moreover, a multi-group analysis (MGA) has been conducted to assess gender differences. The findings have supported the positive effect of psychological resilience and subjective norms on perceived social support, besides, an important effect of social support on sustainable entrepreneurial intention was found. These results offer new evidence regarding the significance of the social environment, support networks, and resilience of university students in fostering the establishment of sustainable businesses with a focus on social well-being and environmental protection in Latin America. This is particularly pertinent as the countries in this region are grappling with social and environmental challenges that could be addressed through sustainable entrepreneurship.

Emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs) are serious social problems prevalent among children and adolescents. However, additional information is needed to understand if resilience changes could mediate the association between child maltreatment and EBPs. Our study group conducted a cohort study among 1605 early adolescent students in grades 7 to 9 to answer these questions. The results revealed that resilience changes could partially mediate the association between child maltreatment and emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity-attention, and peer problems during early adolescence. Further, changes in resilience could completely mediate the association between child maltreatment and prosocial behaviors. The resilience of adolescents is slightly improved during early adolescence. Resilience changes can mediate child maltreatment and EBPs, implying that maltreatment during childhood could hinder the development of resilience during early adolescence. Together, this could lead to the development of severe EBPs. Therefore, supporting the establishment of internal and providing external resilience resources could help prevent EBPs during early adolescence.
