The period in primary school is important for children’s personality development. Peer plays an important role in personality formation and its development for children. We explored the effect of peer acceptance and friendship quality on personality development of primary school students in individual and class levels, by involving the peer factor as a circumstance variable, centralizing the peer acceptance and friendship quality in the within-class group respectively and aggregating individual peer acceptance and friendship quality as two class-level variables. We examined how peer acceptance and friendship quality influenced the personality development in primary school students on both individual and class levels. Our research breaks the limitation of ignoring the influence of class level social and psychological context effect in previous studies. We selected 700 participants as mutual friends with class for the unit, which were from 23 classes and 6 grades (1-6), using best friend nomination method. The data was collected by adopting peer nomination method and handing out the primary school students’ friendship quality questionnaire and the teacher-assessment primary school students’ personality development questionnaire. According to the lower-level mediation model (1-1-1), we respectively regarded the five dimensions of personality (intelligence, extraversion, pro-sociality, conscientiousness and emotional stability) as dependent variables in Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), and examined the multilevel mediation effect of friendship quality on the relationship of peer acceptance and each dimension of personality by the multilevel mediation effect test procedures. The result indicates that:for example intelligence, the average level of peer acceptance in class has no a direct effect on intelligence(t=-0.090,p>0.05). Controlling the effects of class level, peer acceptance significantly predicting effects on intelligence in the path c(t=5.010,p<0.001).Peer acceptance have significance predicting effects on friendship quality in the path a(t=2.438,p<0.05), friendship quality and peer acceptance have significance predicting effects on intelligence in the path b and c'[b(t=3.308,p<0.05)and c'(t=5.065,p<0.001)] . Individual level, peer acceptance of the direct effects on intelligent is reduced to 1.4292 from 1.4978. Consequently, primary school students'friendship quality partly mediates the relationship between peer acceptance and intelligence on individual level. Mediator effect is ab( × )=7.18%,mediator effect size is ab/(ab+c')=4.78%.We adopt the same procedure as above on other dimensions of personality. The conclusion shows that:(1)In class level, the average level of friendship quality in class has a direct effect on extraversion, pro-sociality, conscientiousness, emotional stability. The average level of peer acceptance in class has a direct effect on emotional stability.(2)In individual level, peer acceptance has a direct effect on the five dimensions of personality(intelligence, extraversion, pro-sociality, conscientiousness and emotional stability). Primary school students’ friendship quality partly mediates the relationship between peer acceptance and personality (intelligence, extraversion, pro-sociality, conscientiousness).
Given that little is known about the impact of ostracism on employees in Chinese workplace, and even less research has investigated gender differences in terms of workplace exclusionary behavior. The current study explored the applicability of Workplace Ostracism Scale (WOS) in China and gender differences on psychological health and job satisfaction. Workplace Ostracism Scale (WOS), Psychological Health Questionnaire and Job Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to test a sample of 437 employees with diverse job titles. The WOS was translated into Chinese upon careful consideration. Based on 137 samples (57 men and 80 women), some revisions were made according to the result of item-total correlation and exploratory factor analysis. Then 300 employees (160 men, 136 women and 4 unknown) from various companies were invited to join the final survey. The reliability and construct validity of WOS were tested by internal consistency reliability and confirmatory factor analysis. Results of item analysis showed that the correlations between the ten items of WOS and the total score ranged from 0.36 to 0.86. All correlations listed were significant at p<0.01. Exploratory factor analysis showed that 10 items had two factors. However, there was only one item in the second factor. Based on further examination, it was found that this item was a rather general statement, while others were all about the specific descriptions. So it was best to eliminate the first item. Then, EFA was conducted on the left nine items. Results showed that all nine items had one factor with an eigenvalue 5.26. This factor can explain 58.50% variance. Internal consistency reliability and confirmatory factor analysis were used to confirm the reliability and construct validity of WOS. Results showed that after eliminating the first statement of the scale, the WOS was a reliable and valid measure in Chinese workplace as well. To test whether gender moderated the relationship between exclusion and outcomes, a moderated hierarchical regression analysis was conducted on psychological health and job satisfaction. For each analysis researchers first entered the main effects for workplace ostracism and gender. In the second step, we entered the interaction term between ostracism and gender. Consistent with predictions, the addition of the interaction resulted in a significant change in R2. To illustrate this interaction, a low workplace ostracism group and a high workplace ostracism group were created for each gender. The results demonstrated the moderating effect of gender on the relation between workplace ostracism and psychological health and job satisfaction. The present study provided a useful measure for Chinese workplace ostracism literature — the revised WOS. It was also demonstrated that, the effects of ostracism were, in fact, moderated by gender. Specifically, workplace ostracism was predicted to have a stronger negative impact on psychological health and job satisfaction of women compared to men. Overall, workplace ostracism cannot be neglected. Special attention should be drawn on this phenomenon.
Self-esteem has certain similarities and differences in different cultural backgrounds. According to previous findings, the cultural differences of self-esteem are manifested in its roots, inclusiveness and its expression. To a certain degree, social cultural values shape self-esteem of people lived in the cultural context. The source of self-esteem embodies the importance of cultural values. People in the individualism culture emphasize the importance of personal self-esteem, which reliance on personal achievement and characteristic, relative to collective self-esteem. Whereas collectivist place more emphasis on social orientation and its collective aspect compared with former. The extent of inclusion of other in self concept is various in different cultures. Self-esteem, as an important aspect of the self concept, has cultural differences in its inclusiveness. People in Western cultures centralize the personal uniqueness and independence. Their self-esteem focus on the unique self aspect compared to Chinese who include the significant others into their self-esteem. Culture influences the ways that taken in the expression of self-esteem. Easterners are much less direct express favorable evaluations of self explicitly and in the public context. They tend to make positive self evaluation when they respond implicitly or in the private context. In contrast, people in Western cultures attempt to maintain a positive self evaluation by engaging in various self enhancement strategies. They express their favorable self evaluation directly when they respond explicitly or in the public context. The awareness of cultural differences and universality of self-esteem should be set up. It is of great important to strengthen the study on cultural differences of it for scientific understanding of the social psychological phenomenon and academic discipline construction. Future research should focus on the meaning of self-esteem, its research content and research methods, to further promote the self-esteem study in the Chinese background.
Antisaccades task is the main method to study the endogenous saccades. In 1978, Hallett used the antisaccades task in his study for the first time. This task needs the subjects to inhibit the saccade towards the peripheral target, and direct their gaze in the opposite direction. The antisaccades task provides an efficient method for the study of behavioral control and attention. Evidence suggests that prosaccades and antisaccades can be programmed in parallel and competition, and fronto-parietal subcortical network involved in the antisaccades performance. Antisaccades can be influenced by many factors, such as, gap effect, working memory, cognitive aging, eccentricity effect, ect.
This paper reported three experiments to explore the role of self-face as salient stimulus in guiding visual attention, by focusing on the roles of self-face in a Posner’s spatial cueing paradigm. In Experiment 1, self- or familiar- face foveally presented as an endgenous cue oriented right or left, cueing the location of a target in the right or left visual field. In Experiment 2 (small-size images) and 3 (large-size images), a self- or familiar- face as task irrelevant stimulus was presented to the right or left visual field while a cued target flashed in the opposite field. The results showed that relative to familiar-face, self-face resulted in a larger cueing effect in Experiment 1, indicating the facilitation of self-face as task relavant stimulus. In contrast, in Experiment 2 and 3, the faces of self and familiar others equally captured visual attention from spatial locations of targets. However, it did not observe a self-face advantage comparing to familiar face. The results may reflect that the face effect on attention capture is large enough to envelop the self effect to emerge. The findings indicated that the effect of self-face as salient stimulus on visual attention depends on its role in a given task rather than exclusively subject to the perceptual processes.
Abstract: Career resilience is a person’s ability to adapt to changing Career resilience is a person’s ability to adapt to changing workplace, even when the changes are discouraging or disruptive. Since career resilience is a required characteristic for employees to achieve success in the current and future workplace, more understanding about the concept of career resilience and how it affects one’s career decision and job behaviors will shed significant insight on designing or improving manpower training program and career counseling. The primary purpose of this study is therefore to explore the effects of career resilience. According to London’s theory (London, 1983), one with high level of career resilience will demonstrate initiative, purposive action and high performance, however the opposite will demonstrate withdrawal, anxiety and confusion (e.g., absenteeism, task avoidance, physical or psychological symptoms of stress, low performance). Thus, we predicted that employees with higher level of career resilience would achieve higher level of performance than employees with lower level of career resilience. At the same time, Waterman and Collard pointed out that career-resilient individuals had better career self-management ability and employability (Waterman, Waterman, & Collard, 1994; Collard, Epperheimer, & Saign, 1996), thus, we conjectured that employees with higher level of career resilience would gain higher degree of career satisfaction than employees with lower level of career resilience. The sample consisted of 324 managers from the 59 electronic related corporations under one information group. The manager’s career resilience level was measured with a Career Resilience Questionnaire on six factors developed by a Chinese scholar. The demographics variables and the level of their career satisfaction and performance were measured with questionnaires too. The Harman signal factor testing and multitrait-multimethod testing showed that common method variance was not significant here. When examining the effects of career resilience on performance, the variables of demographics and career satisfaction were controlled, and when examining the effects of career resilience on career satisfaction, the variables of demographics and performance were controlled. Correlation analysis indicated that the three variables of career resilience, career satisfaction and performance positively correlated each other. Multiple regression model and hierarchical regression model was used for testing hypothesis and results showed that career resilience yielded statistically significant effects on performance and career satisfaction. Career resilience alone explained 15.2 percent of the variance in performance after controlled the variables of demographics and career satisfaction, and explained 5.9 percent of the variance in career satisfaction after controlled the variables of demographics and performance. Although popular and frequent in its appearance in business writings of recent times, the academic writings of career resilience are far more limited. This study contributed not only to the academic literature on career resilience but also to our understanding of the effects of career resilience. In addition, this empirical research provided evidence for the existing career resilience theories and suggested that both organizations and individuals should pay attention to the importance of career resilience. Finally, limitations of this research and suggestions for future research were discussed.
Objective: In order to explore the development of self-evaluation and the relationship between the self-evaluation and the academic achievements. Method: About me Questionnaire and Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ) were employed to measure the self-evaluation. The academic achievement was measured by the scores of Chinese, Maths, and English. Correlation and regression analyzes were conducted. Results: (1) it showed that the junior high school students’ academic self-concept was better than that of the senior high school students’; (2) There was statistically significant positive correlation between self-evaluated academic effort and academic achievement, and the statistically positive correlation between self-evaluated academic competence and academic achievement was also found. Furthermore, self-evaluated academic competence could predict the academic achievement better positively. As for SDQ, only could the total score of SDQ predict Maths score negatively. Conclusion: There were differences in self-evaluation with different grade students, however, the junior two students’ scores in most aspects were all higher than other grade students; the academic achievement could be better predicted by academic self-evaluation and gender, whereas the relationship between SDQ and academic achievement was weak in this study. However, the Maths score could be negatively predicted by the total score of SDQ.
Procrastination is very common among college students in China. Two types of chronic procrastination have been defined by Ferrari, O'Callaghan, & Newbegin (2005): one form was arousal procrastination (delays motivated by a "last-minute" thrill experience), another form was avoidance procrastination (delays related to fears of failure or success). Locus of control and time management disposition was considered as important factors associated with procrastination: time management disposition and external locus of control was significant negative correlated with procrastination, and internal locus of control was significant positive correlated. However, previous studies failed to distinguish different types of procrastination which were varied in motivations. The purpose of the present study was to provide a better understanding of the link between time management disposition and procrastination of arousal and avoidance types by examining the different mediate role of locus of control in the relationship by SEM. Six hundred and twenty four college students (329 males, 263 females, 32 unknown) from 7 universities in Beijing, Xi’an and Guiyang has been surveyed by complete 4 validated questionnaires (Adolescence Time Management Disposition Inventory; Internality, Powerful Others, and Chance Scales; Lay’s General Procrastination Scale for Student Populations and Adult Inventory of Procrastination) in classroom. Amos 7.0 was used to analyze the correlation and structure model among these factors. The analysis of correlation showed that time management disposition was significant negative related to both arousal and avoidance procrastination. That is, the more active of individuals’ time management disposition, the less they procrastinated in their daily life. As to locus of control, internality is significant negative related to both arousal procrastination and avoidance procrastination, while powerful others and chance were significant positive related to both arousal procrastination and avoidance procrastination. By delete several insignificant paths, a mediate model of 2 types of procrastination was confirmed by SEM after cross-validation (χ2/df(112.933/56)=2.017, RMSEA=.058, TLI (NNFI) =.950, CFI=.964, GFI=.947). The SEM indicated: (1) Different types of locus of control can be predicted by time management disposition, specifically, time management disposition can predict internality positively and predict powerful others and chance neg
The research surveyed 600 rural migrant workers in Suzhou,and using the situation questionnaire of rural migrant workers’ perceived social support which made by ourselves and the scale of self-esteem 、the scale of subjective well-being of rural migrant workers which have been modified in order to survey the relationship among perceived social support 、self-esteem and subjective well-being. And this research also explored the mediating influence of the self-esteem on the relation between perceived social support and subjective well-being of contemporary rural migrant workers. The research results show that:(1) The subjective well-being and its each dimensions、perceived social support of the rural migrant workers’ who with higher level of the self-esteem significantly higher than whom with lower level of the self-esteem;(2) There was significant correlation among perceived social support 、self-esteem and subjective well-being.(3) There was opposite positive correlation among perceived social support 、self-esteem and subjective well-being.(4)The self-esteem based on perceived social support has significant regression influence on the subjective well-being and its two dimensions, and it’s an important intervening variable between them.
The study introduces a new method of model construction and parameters estimation for ordinal categorical data,with the method of exploring measurement invariance based on this method. simulation study explores the effect of parameters recovery, difference between estimated value and known population parameters value ,empirical power under various total sample size, the ratio of reference group to focal group size, the difference of parameters between two groups, test length. Results indicate that the parameters recovery well when robust weighted least squares estimator using a diagonal weight matrix(WLSMV) are used. The type Ⅰerror of DIFFTEST consistently adhered closely to the nominal alpha level of 0.05.Under the condition of large sample size, reference and focal group size are equal, the difference of parameters is bigger, the power of DIFFTEST show better. Control the number of items whose measurement invariance are violated, the power of DIFFTEST become lower when the test length become longer.
Few empirical studies have examined the effects of individual difference variables (e.g., personality traits) and social environment variables (e.g., family environment) on adolescents’ moral judgment competence systematically. Based on the latest theories of moral judgment, this study tested the relationship of personality traits, family environment and moral judgment competence among middle school students. The aim is to provide some help for students’ moral psychological education and counseling. The participants were 900 students ranging from grade 1 of jurnior high school to grade 3 of senior high school. They are come from six urban districts and rural districts. 887 students finished the questionnaires (855 were valid, 96.4% ) which included three scales: Qingnian Zhongguo Personality Scale (QZPS), Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV, 3rd ed.) and Chinese Adolescent Moral Judgment Competence Test. In order to construct a relevant model for the different three variables, the statistical methods adopted correlation analysis, regression analysis and path analysis respectively. The research constructed four structural equation models: one direct effect model and three intervening process variable models. The models revealed that the personality traits and family environment variables to the middle students’ moral judgment have both directly effects and indirectly effects with relatively comprehensive. The results showed that the directly effects of personality traits factors influenting moral judgment competence are Good-heartedness and behavior style personality dimensions. Personality traits and family’s success, knowledge and control factors effect each other. And personality extroversion, behavior styles, good-heartedness, talent, emotionality and honesty indirectly influented it throught family achievement orientation, intellectal-cultural orientation and control. Furthermore, family’s success and control directly influented moral judgment competence. Family cohesion, achievement orientation, intellectal-cultural orientation, active-recreational orientation, moral-religious emphasis, organization and control indirectly influented it throught personality good-heartedness, talent and honesty. The findings revealed that the direct effects of middle school student’s personality traits, family environment on the moral judgment competence have more significance than the indect effects. Personality traits are the protective factors
采用项目法定向遗忘的研究范式,在两个实验中分别采用文字和图片材料考察了情绪性记忆定向遗忘的效果及其心理机制。实验中采用了中性和负性两种实验材料,设置了两种记忆指令出现时间(2秒后提示和5秒后提示),相对于中性材料,被试更不容易忘记负性材料。记忆指令出现的时间只影响图片材料的定向遗忘。研究表明负性情绪会干扰定向遗忘,选择性编码理论可以解释情绪性文字材料的定向遗忘,而抑制理论更能解释情绪性图片材料的定向遗忘效应。
The topic of emotions in the workplace especially emotional labor is beginning to garner closer attention by researchers and theorists in recent years. Emotional labor is the process of regulating both feelings and expressions for organizational goals. Following Hochschild’s seminal work, a number of researchers have since studied the effects of emotional labor on workers, with mixed findings. On the basis of previous relevant researches and literatures of emotional labor, the purpose of this study is to explore: (1) the relationship between emotional labor and emotional exhaustion; (2) the relationship between emotional labor and depression/ anxiety; (3) the mediation role of emotional exhaustion between emotional labor and depression/ anxiety specially. ELS, MBI and SCL-90 were applied and 328 employees in retailing participated in this study. The data was processed and analyzed by SPSS16.0 for window. Correlation analysis shows that: (1) deep acting, which is one dimension of the emotional labor, is significantly negatively related to emotional exhaustion (r=-0.215, p<0.01) and may predict emotional exhaustion. Employees use deep acting more frequently in their work to reduce their exhaustion. (2) Deep acting is significantly negatively related to depression (r=-0.159, p<0.05) and anxiety (r=-0.161, p<0.05), it may predict depression and anxiety. Deep acting can alleviate depression and anxiety of employees. The result of regression analysis indicates that emotional exhaustion acts as a mediator between emotional labor and depression/ anxiety. In regression analysis, Deep acting influenced emotional exhaustion (beta=-0.242, p<0.01), depression (beta=-0.159, p<0.05) and anxiety (beta=-0.106, p<0.05) at the first and second step. When exhaustion entered at the third step at which point deep acting became nonsjgnificant indicating a mediation effect. Overall, the results show that surface acting has no significant correlation with exhaustion, depression or anxiety; deep acting is significantly and negatively predictable to emotional exhaustion, depression and anxiety. Emotional exhaustion plays mediator role between emotional labor and depression/ anxiety. Conservation of Resources Theory holds that mental resources are limited; over use mental resource can lead to emotional exhaustion and influence psychological health. From this point of view, several issues are noticeable in the present studies. First, deep acting is a distinct and useful strategy, which can provide mental resource thereby diminish emotional exhaustion, depression and anxiety of employees. So it seems organizations should train their employees to use more deep acting in their work. However, mental resources from deep acting are limited, organizations should provide other approaches to let their employees obtain mental resources, such as create supportive work atmosphere thereby reduce the mental depletion during their emotional labor.
Need is the inner drive of human behavior and actions. Although a few researchers found several needs (success, interpersonal communication, etc.) related to internet addiction, there were still many people who had the same needs but not addicted to internet. Therefore, there must be some other variables influencing the relationship between psychological needs and internet addiction. Through a pilot study of interviewing internet addicted college students, we presented two concepts— reality-gratification and internet-gratification, which can be used to deeply explore the relationship between psychological needs and internet addiction in this study. The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among Internet Addiction, psychological needs, and need gratifications both in reality and on the Internet. 1183 college students were selected to complete two questionnaires, including Psychological Needs and Gratification Scale for College Students and Young’s Internet Addiction Scale. Correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between needs, reality-need gratifications and internet-need gratifications; T-test and MANOVA were both used to testify the differences between Internet addicts and non-addicts at needs and need gratifications; Chi-square test was used to explore the difference of Internet addiction rate among several subject groups. The results reveal that: (1) There were few differences in needs between Internet addicts and non-addicts; however, there were a lot of differences in need gratification between the two groups: the needs of Internet addicts were significantly more satisfied on the Internet than non-addicts, especially for power need, meeting challenge need, social need, and avoiding reality need, while the needs of non-addicts were significantly more satisfied in reality than addicts, especially for identity need, meeting challenge need, social need, cognition need and achievement need; (2) the needs of non-addicts were with significant positive correlations to both reality gratification and Internet gratification, but with stronger correlations to reality gratification; however, the needs of Internet addicts were with more significant correlations to Internet gratification while with few correlations to reality gratification; (3) college students with low reality gratification but high Internet gratification of psychological needs were most prone to Internet addiction. In a conclusion, the study shows significant Internet compensation effect of psychological needs in Internet addicts and it is probably not need but need gratification leading to Internet addiction. Therefore, psychotherapists should pay much attention to their psychological needs and gratifications when dealing with internet addicted college students.

Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) techniques were used to explore the role of teacher affect in the effect of temperament on emotion regulation among adolescents. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R) were administered among 1385 students from grade 7 through grade 12 and Teacher Affect Questionnaire (TAQ) among 36 head teachers in China. Results showed that different dimensions of temperament had different effects on emotion regulation, and different aspects of teacher affect exerted different modulations on the process of the influence of temperament for emotion regulation. These results mean that in the process of affect teaching, teachers should take different strategies of affect teaching for students of different temperaments to promote the development of students’ emotion regulation. 注:因接到编委会通知需要500字长摘要,而长摘要无法上传,只好放在文章中,该处只是短摘要。
Homework is not only an extensively-applied instructional instrument but also the most important learning activity for students after class. Despite the long history of homework research, the role that homework plays in enhancing student achievement is not thoroughly understood. The purpose is to explore the relationship between homework and academic achievement through reviewing the homework research. The conclusions can help teachers to assign homework and help students to study more effectively. From the characteristics of homework, the process of homework completion, parental involvement in homework and the mechanism underlying the effects of homework on study, the article explored the relationship between homework and academic achievement. Finally, the author pointed out the practical values and the further directions of research in this field. Most studies supported the conclusion that homework can improve academic achievement. Firstly, the characteristics of homework can affect students’ achievement. Researchers found positive association between homework time and achievement. Meanwhile, the relationship can be moderated by the age or grade of students. The appropriate amount of homework is conducive to high achievement. The proper strategies teachers adopt during homework assignment can enhance academic achievement. The recent studies obtained some new results. The strength and direction of the homework-achievement association depend on the homework indicator chosen and differ to some degree across analytical levels. Secondly, the process of students’ homework completion relates to their academic achievement. Some results showed that there were different patterns of preferred homework styles between high- and low-achieving groups. High achievers value their homework more, put forth more effort and are more persistent, as compared to low achievers. After then, the relationship between parental involvement in homework and academic achievement were discussed. If the parents are tought to improve the students’ completion of homework and help students to manage their homework behavior, the students’ achievement can be enhanced. Finally, the mechanism underlying the effects of homework on study were summarized.There are several suggestions for teachers and parents. The teacher should pay attention to the individual differences among students when they are assigning homework. They should select the most proper mode and homework materials to increase students’ interest and homework completion. Parents and teachers should cultivate children’s self-regulatory capability and good homework styles. All of these are helpful to enhance students’ achievement. At last, the author pointed out the further directions of research in this field. Homework is the most complicated learning activity. Many variables have effects on the relationship between homework and achievement. So the future research should discuss their relationship more detailedly from various angles. According to the systemic model of homework, learning environment, teacher, student characteristics and role of parents influence homework behavior jointly. How do these factors determine the effect of homework? Researchers should expand the research in the future. Because of nested data in homework research, the researchers should pay more attention to multilevel model to explore the relationship between homework and academic achievement. The author argued that homework research should be more closely associated with well-founded psychological theories of learning and instruction.
In order to overcome the shortage of cluster analysis which often bias the choice of a solution and the lack of statistical indices to assist in the choice of a final solution, the current study use latent profile analysis to study types of social support of junior middle school students. Beside, we also use discriminate analysis to validate the accuracy of the classification that use latent profile analysis to class types of social support. On the other hand, we not only study the relationship between social support, learning motivation, learning strategy, academic performance from the variable level. But also analyze the effect of different types of social support on learning motivation, learning strategy, academic performance from the perspective of individual differences. 374 junior middle school students are selected form one middle school to attend the questionnaire survey which includes perceived social support scale, motivated strategies for learning questionnaire and learning Motivation Scale. Students’ performances are measured by their mid-term test scores.
