Researchers at Wenzhou Medical University Release New Data on Psychology and Psychiatry (Identity-congruence Policy Endorsement: a Study of Cognitive Mediation In App-based Fitness Compliance Intentions Among Chinese College Students).

The article discusses research conducted in Wenzhou, People's Republic of China, focusing on the issue of student noncompliance with app-based fitness policies in universities. The study introduces the concept of identity-congruence policy endorsement, which is defined as the alignment between policy mandates and an individual's self-identity, and examines its impact on compliance intentions among medical students. Findings indicate that cognitive attitudes significantly influence compliance intentions, while affective attitudes do not, suggesting that policy design should enhance cognitive legitimacy to improve adherence. The research contributes to the understanding of digital governance and policy compliance mechanisms, with implications that extend beyond China. [Extracted from the article]
