The present study constructed a moderated mediation model to explore the relationship between bedtime procrastination and daytime sleepiness in college students, and further to examine the mediating effect of insomnia and the moderating effect of chronotype by using the Bedtime Procrastination Scale, Insomnia Severity Index Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. A total of 4252 college students were recruited to participate in this study. The results showed that: 1) bedtime procrastination had a significant positive prediction on daytime sleepiness; 2) insomnia played a partial mediating role in the relationship between bedtime procrastination and daytime sleepiness; 3) the association between bedtime procrastination and insomnia was moderated by chronotype. Compared to the students with morningness, the prediction effect of bedtime procrastination on insomnia was much stronger in individuals with eveningness.
To test the reliability and validity of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) in primary school students, a total of 3084 children from first grade to sixth grade were investigated with the Chinese version of Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS-C). Then, we obtained the formal scale through item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The formal scale includes two subscales, that is, math evaluation anxiety and learning math anxiety. The multi-group confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the AMAS-C reached full measurement invariant across Chinese primary school students’ gender, grade, and region. The finding indicates that the AMAS-C is a good valid and reliable instrument to assess mathematics anxiety of Chinese primary school students.

Considering the new social emotion characteristics in the latest situation, we constructed the theoretical structure of social emotion based on the positive-negative emotion model, and developed the Social Emotion Scale. A total of 1464 people were tested to verify the scale’s structure and its reliability and validity. The results showed that Social Emotion Scale consisted of two subscales. Positive Social Emotion Scale had three dimensions including social pride, social compassion and social gratitude. Negative Social Emotion Scale had four dimensions including social apathy, social complaint, social anxiety and social impetuosity. The Social Emotion Scale and its subscales have good reliability and validity and can be used as an effective tool to measure the social emotion of the public.
