    According to the emotion of episodic prospection hypothesis, the present study attempted to use a 3 (prospective emotional valence: positive, negative, neutral) × 2 (group: training, control) × 2 (test time: pre, post) mixed design to investigate the effect of episodic prospective ability on delay discounting. The results showed that: 1) The stronger the episodic prospective ability, the greater the degree of change in delay discounting rate. 2) This process was also moderated by prospective emotional valence, that is, positive prospective emotion decreased delay discounting rate, and negative prospective emotion increased delay discounting rate. These results illustrate that episodic prospective ability influences the extent of delay discounting rate, whereas prospective emotional valence moderates the direction of delay discounting.

    Studies have been conducted to examine the intrinsic association between online social media use and loneliness among older adults from different theoretical perspectives, but the results are inconsistent. Meta-analysis was used to explore the relationship between social media use and loneliness of the elderly to clarify the controversies. The current study contained 39 research literatures, including 49 independent effect sizes. Random effects model was selected for analysis, and it was found that social media use was negatively correlated with loneliness, emotional loneliness and social loneliness of the elderly. Furthermore, the relationship between social media use and loneliness of the elderly was moderated by social media measurement indicators and loneliness measurement tools, but was not by gender and cultural background. This study provided a more accurate estimate of the impact of social media use on loneliness in the elderly, and clarified the differences in the magnitude and direction of the correlation between the two, which would be helpful for guiding the elderly to use social media rationally to alleviate loneliness.

    A systematic review was conducted to study the transfer effects of n-back working memory training in healthy adults aged 18~50 years and the factors affecting the transfer effects. Thirty-two studies and 69 independent effect sizes together with 1820 participants which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis were selected. The meta-analysis results revealed that n-back training had a significant medium effect size on the untrained n-back task (nearest transfer effect: g=0.54), while the transfer effects on both other working memory tasks (near transfer effect: g=0.20) and cognitive control tasks (far transfer effect: g=0.20) showed small effect size. The moderator analysis showed that the number of training sessions could influence nearest transfer effect. The current study indicats that a substantial part of transfer effect following n-back training is task-specific; in other words, the transfer effect is large in nearest transfer, while both near transfer effect and far transfer effect are small. Moreover, the number of training sessions influences the nearest transfer effect.

Results showed that: 1) Fathers’ supportive co-parenting was positively related to children’s social competence. 2) Fathers’ unsupportive co-parenting was positively related to children’s antisocial behavior, and negatively associated with children’s social competence. 3) Father-child attachment mediated the association between fathers’ co-parenting and children’s social competence, and also played an intervening role in the relationship between fathers’ co-parenting and children’s antisocial behavior.

    This study examined the influence of perceived social hostility on college students’ aggression and the role of negative emotional experience. Experiment 1 used the perceived social mindfulness paradigm and the hot sauce paradigm to examine the influence of perceived social hostility on college students’ overt aggression. The Chinese version of the Positive Negative Sentiment Scale (PANAS) was used to measure the subjects’ baseline mood and immediate mood. Experiment 2 used the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure implicit aggression. Results showed that perceived social hostility significantly increased college students’ aggression. Negative emotional experience partially mediated the relationship between perceived social hostility and college students’ overt aggression, but had no mediate effects on implicit aggression.

    In order to explore the impact of empathy on depression and the role of peer-relationship plays in it. The current study used the Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scales, and the Friendship Qualities Scale to measure participants’ empathy, depressive symptoms, and peer relationships. We employed 458 early adult college students. The results showed that empathy was significantly positively correlated with depressive symptoms and peer-relationship, and peer-relationship was significantly negatively correlated with depression. Conflict dimensions of peer-relationship could moderate the relationship between affective empathy and depression after controlling gender and age. Therefore, these findings suggest that peer-relationship has a moderating effect on the relationship between empathy and depression. In specific, the high conflict peer-relationship strengthens the relationship between empathy and depression while the low conflict peer-relationship weakens the relationship between empathy and depression.

    Although neuroticism is considered to be an important risk factor for aggression, the mental mechanism of its influence on aggressive behaviors remains unclear. This study attempted to explore this issue by using the temporal path model of neuroticism predicting aggressive behavior developed from the general aggressive model. A longitudinal survey was conducted among 848 college students to examine the model. The results showed that the in-process factors (hostility attribution bias) and the post-process factors (anger rumination) were mutually predictable. Neuroticism could predict aggressive behavior both by the path from hostile attribution bias to anger rumination and by the path from anger rumination to hostile attribution bias.
