Summary: This study examined the emotional labor behaviors of nurses and their opinions on emotional labor. The findings suggest that nurses tend to act deep and sincere, instead of superficial. Most nurses expressed being emotionally affected when caring for patients, but they have to control their emotions to meet managerial expectations, leading to emotional dissonance.

Summary: In this study of long-term care workers, high surface-acting emotional labor at baseline was associated with a higher risk of developing depressive symptoms two years later. Other factors predicting symptom onset included high work-family conflict, younger age, and low decision latitude at work. Future research should explore a wider range of coping strategies for emotional labor demands.

Summary: This study examines the impact of teachers' seniority, emotional intelligence (EI), and team-member exchange (TMX) quality on job performance in primary schools. It explores the mediating role of TMX in the relationship between EI and job performance, as well as the moderating effect of teacher seniority. Data from 387 teachers in Taiwan was analyzed using SPSS PROCESS macro and structural equation modeling (SEM) with SPSS 26.0. The findings suggest that primary teachers' EI positively influences their TMX and job performance. The study also provides empirical evidence for the mediating effect of TMX and the moderating effect of teacher seniority. Recommendations are made for enhancing teachers' EI and promoting TMX in professional development programs, educational policies, and practice.

Summary: This study found that nursing students in Vietnam faced a higher risk of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic, with almost half of the students lacking effective coping strategies. Risk factors for depression among nursing students included being female, collecting bio-samples, providing support to vaccination spots, and not getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance depression management and coping skills, especially focusing on female students and those with direct contacts with infectious sources, in nursing curricula and continuous training.

Summary: The studies found that individuals with lower cognitive ability are more likely to endorse political misbeliefs, while emotional investment plays a more crucial role in predicting support for partisan misbeliefs. When asked to briefly consider political misinformation as true through social consensus, participants experienced cognitive dissonance, but being able to reject those misbeliefs reduced dissonance and maintained feelings of self-validation, especially when rejecting beliefs hostile to their political views.

Summary: The present study introduces a reliable tool, AQ@workT, to assess the quality of work life in academics within the Italian university sector. Developed by the QoL@Work research team, AQ@workT is grounded in the job demands-resources model and its psychometric properties were supported in three studies with a large sample of lecturers, researchers, and professors. The findings show that AQ@workT is a valuable instrument for university management to improve quality of life, manage work-related stress, and mitigate potential harm to academics.

Summary: This study aims to explore the association between nurses' perception of meaningfulness of work and their pleasure in working, and examine whether this relationship is influenced by the level of deep acting performed and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare work. The results indicate that perceiving work as meaningful is positively related to pleasure in working, especially when deep acting is high. The association between meaningful work and pleasure in working is further moderated by the COVID-19 influence, with a stronger relationship observed under high COVID-19 influence and higher levels of deep acting performed.
