People’s dwellings, daily productive activities and access to public services pass through developers and landlords, exposing them to intense public scrutiny. This paper studies the impact of ESG on the financial outcomes of listed real estate companies. By analysing and summarising global literature, it finds that the relationship is not universally positive or negative, but depends on building age, leverage ratio, ownership structure, and regulatory shocks. It summarises three transmission paths: green energy-saving renovations increase rent and reduce vacancy rates; promoting social projects enhances tenant loyalty; and at the governance level, safeguards limit excessive debt. When these three pillars work together, ESG can compress bond spreads by 25 to 80 basis points and increase occupancy rates by 1 to 2 percentage points. In the green sector with weak governance, ESG can accelerate exit from financial distress, with targeted renovations, joint social project-oriented design, and ruling-class board committees. It ultimately calls for the establishment of unified ESG metrics to enable cross-market comparison.

China's divorce rate reached 43% in 2024, significantly increasing the mental health risks faced by children from divorced families. This study investigates the complex mechanisms behind these risks and reveals that family reorganization can undermine children's sense of security, long-term parental conflict may accumulate psychological stress, and poor parenting combined with social stigma can intensify emotional problems. Nevertheless, cooperative parenting and children's psychological resilience can serve as protective factors that help mitigate these negative effects. Data show that the rates of depression and anxiety among children from divorced families are 20%–30% higher than those from intact families, with elevated SCL-90 scores indicating poorer mental health. These children also exhibit more aggressive behavior and academic difficulties, with boys showing higher levels of hostility and girls more prone to depression. Effective interventions such as school counseling, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and expressive art therapy have demonstrated positive outcomes. The main contribution of this study is to clarify the risk and protective mechanisms and propose a feasible framework for family-school-society collaboration, aiming to support the mental well-being of children from divorced families through conflict reduction, psychological education, and expanded social services.

This study employed the emotional Stroop experiment from a behavioral research perspective to explore the role of the emotional Stroop effect in identifying depressive disorders among college students and to examine its correlation with the results of the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The results showed that the emotional Stroop effect of depressive words was significantly correlated with the scores of the depression scales, with correlations of r = 0.757 (p < 0.01) for the SDS and r = 0.739 (p < 0.01) for the PHQ-9. These findings confirm the validity of the emotional Stroop effect in identifying depressive disorders among college students, indicating that it serves as an effective supplementary method to depression scale assessments for screening depressive disorders.

In the process of information dissemination, users' demands and content views become the network traffic needed by platforms and practitioners in the micromedia industry. However, there are certain differences in the traffic and data of different videos on the same topic. Therefore, in order to gain more traffic, bloggers usually adopt strategies to increase the uniqueness of their content by creating geographical differences and updating their posts at a high frequency. However, the extent to which these strategies actually work and the exact comparison of their impact have rarely been researched. Therefore, this paper chooses to adopt a data analysis approach, selecting information about the videos posted by the same beauty blogger on Red Notes, including the number, IP address, and video content as the analyzed variables, to analyze the possible factors that lead to differences in traffic. The conclusion is that the video traffic of beauty bloggers mainly depends on the choice of the theme of their videos, the focus of the audience, and whether the way of expression is simple enough to understand, while the IP address of videos does little contribution.
