AbstractSchool bullying is a prevalent problem affecting adolescents globally, which has been linked to the qualities of social bonds. In addition to the conventional environments such as families, peers and schools, the Internet is notably rising as a new living space for young students. Given that rural China has witnessed outstanding phenomena of bullying and Internet use among adolescents, the present study particularly examined how parental attachment, peer attachment, school connectedness and Internet usage time were associated with their experiences of being a bully, victim or bully victim, based on a sample of 2211 students from 25 rural secondary schools across three provinces of China. Results showed that those reporting bullying, victimization and both accounted for 30.0%, 64.6% and 26.2% of the whole sample, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses further revealed that maternal attachment, peer attachment and school connectedness were negatively associated with the odds of bullying involvement, whereas Internet usage time was positively associated with the odds of bullying involvement. The findings suggest the significance of building a comprehensive system for preventing school bullying in rural China, with a particular emphasis on strengthening family–school collaboration and effective guidance of Internet use.

AbstractThis study examines docudramatic representations of human‐pet relationships in China, applying the conversational storytelling research method. The study takes Modern Furry Tale (MFT, 2021), a controversial docudrama streamed on the Tencent Video platform as its targeted case. The article argues that contemporary Chinese docudramas do not so much "document reality" as continue a "cinematic tradition" of presenting "selected reality" by showing an idealized view of the pets" living conditions and their owners" family lives. Describing and constructing friendly and companionable pet‐human relationships, these docudramas reinforce the dominant "positive energy" state ideology, propagandistic mainstream family values, and repressive gender ideologies.

The content and process of administering high potential (HiPo) programs have been found to contribute to employees' attitudes toward the organizations that employ them. Drawing on social exchange theory, we examined the influence of consensus on the use of HiPo programs on employees'
affective commitment through the mediators of psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability. Using a 2-wave survey, we collected data from 186 full-time employees of Chinese enterprises. We found that both psychological meaningfulness and psychological availability partially
mediated the relationship between consensus on the use of HiPo programs and followers' affective commitment. These findings highlight the importance of managers reaching an agreement about how to use HiPo programs to promote employees' emotional bond to their organization through the key psychological
conditions of meaningfulness and availability.
