Examining the Role of Psychological Flexibility and Occupational Stress in Biographic Popularity on the University Campus

This study examines the reading and borrowing behavior patterns at Nanjing Normal University Library over ten years (2014- 2023) by analyzing library users' borrowing lists and biographical records. It explores the social dynamics of reading within the university community, highlighting how book sharing and peer recommendations can enhance library services. By utilizing time series association rules, the research identifies trends in borrowing that assist librarians in developing collections and allocating resources according to user interests. The study investigates the psychological factors that influence reading engagement, revealing distinct components in the reading psychology of male and female participants. For females, the components include "Sociocultural Engagement" and "Narrative Exploration," while males show "Motivational Drivers," "Literary and Artistic Perception," and "Scientific and Technical Interest." Regression analyses confirm the predictive validity of these psychological constructs concerning reading engagement, showing that educators interact with biographical literature nuancedly. The findings enhance our understanding of reader psychology related to biographical literature, emphasizing the significance of demographic factors in shaping borrowing behaviors. This information can help shape library strategies to foster a vibrant reading culture.
