The spirit of educators with distinctive Chinese characteristics is also appropriate for Chinese psychologists. Thus, Chinese psychologists should harbor the aspiration to serve the country with absolute sincerity, be a scholar who serves as example to all, be a wise person who teaches students in accordance with their aptitudes, be a pioneer who seeks for innovation, be a benevolent person who is willing to dedicate himself, and take the road of psychological research adapting to the Chinese context.

This paper is written in Chinese to help Chinese readers understand the recently published computational model of word processing and eye-movement control during Chinese reading, known as the Chinese Reading Model (CRM). The model consists of two modules: a word-processing module and an eye-movement control module. The word-processing module processes the information within the perceptual span. The module adopts an interactive activation framework and further introduces novel hypotheses regarding word segmentation. That is, all possible word candidates formed by the characters within the perceptual span compete for a single winner. Once a word is recognized, it is simultaneously segmented. The eye-movement control module uses the activation information from the word-processing module to decide when and where the eyes should move. It estimates how many Chinese characters can be processed in a single fixation and moves the eyes beyond these characters. The model successfully simulates important research findings in Chinese reading. It explains key issues, such as word segmentation and eye movement target selection when there are no explicit word boundary markers.

Two parallel experiments were designed to examine how contextual diversity modulated the processing of initial and final character’s positional probability in Chinese word identification. In Experiment 1, we manipulated the initial and final characters’ positional frequencies for two-character words with high contextual diversity. In Experiment 2, an analogous manipulation was made for low contextual diversity words. Sixty participants were instructed to take part in the lexical decision task in the two experiments. The results showed that, for the identification of high contextual diversity words, Chinese readers were sensitive to word’s final character positional frequency only when the word’s initial character was not frequently occurring at word beginning. In contrast, both the initial and final character’s positional frequency were processed for the identification of low contextual diversity words. We argue that these findings support the augmented addressed morphology model theory of Chinese word recognition.

Evidence suggests that implicit prosody can facilitate the processing of written texts. Although there is considerable research on stress-timed languages, the role of implicit prosody in syllable-timed languages has not received much attention. The current study explored the cross-linguistic universality of implicit prosody in the “N de V” construction. The results revealed an interaction between prosodic patterns and semantic relations. At an early stage of processing, there was a preference for disyllabic verbs when there was a “patient-verb” semantic relationship. The findings demonstrate the immediate availability of prosodic information in Chinese sentence processing. Importantly, a stable and continuous effect of prosody was found such that monosyllabic verbs had longer fixation duration than disyllabic verbs and more regressions were made to prosodic patterns containing monosyllabic verbs. The conclusion supports the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis.

The dissemination of false information undermines individuals’ understanding of the real world. Accuracy nudges skillfully guide individuals to focus on the accuracy of information without restricting their freedom of choice and reduce the sharing of false information. This study used misinformation of hot topic and social fake news as materials, conducting two experiments to explore the cognitive process of individuals sharing misinformation and to verify the effect of accuracy nudges. This study found that accuracy nudges reduce individuals’ willingness to share misinformation, indicating that accuracy nudges are an effective intervention method for curbing the sharing of misinformation. When individuals possess great truth-discernment, the accuracy nudge has bright prospects in the application.

In this study, two item discrimination indices (CDI, ADI) and two general modified item discrimination indices (GMCDI, GMADI) were used for polytomous attribute diagnosis test assembly. Two simulation studies were conducted considering three real-world testing scenarios: Study 1, an independent test of dichotomous and polytomous scoring items; Study 2, a mixed test of dichotomous and polytomous scoring items. The results indicate that GMCDI and GMADI can obtain the highest diagnosis accuracy, and are not affected by attribute hierarchy and test type.

To investigate the relationship between physical exercise and smartphone addiction in college students and research the chain mediating effect of innovative behavior and mental health, the Physical Exercise Questionnaire for College Students, the Smartphone Addiction Scale for College Students, the Innovative Behavior Scale, and the Self-reporting Inventory (SCL-90) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 1679 college students in an undergraduate university. The results showed that: 1) Physical exercise demonstrated a significant negative correlation with smartphone addiction, while it showed positive correlations with innovative behavior and mental health. Both innovative behavior and mental health were significantly negatively correlated with smartphone addiction, and innovative behavior was positively correlated with mental health. 2) Innovative behavior and mental health respectively played a partial mediating role between physical exercise and smartphone addiction. 3) Innovative behavior and mental health played a chain mediating role between physical exercise and smartphone addiction.

To examine the latent profiles of paternal and maternal parenting style and their association with internet addiction as well as the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies between them, this study surveyed 4091 middle school students in Chongqing, China. All the participants completed the related questionnaires, including the Parenting Style Questionnaire, the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Strategy Questionnaire, and the Internet Addiction Questionnaire. The results showed that: 1) There were three profiles of paternal parenting style as well as maternal parenting style, including positive, mixed, and negative profiles respectively. 2) Compared with the mixed parenting style, the positive parenting style significantly and negatively predicted internet addiction. 3) Adaptive and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies played as a mediator between positive parenting style and internet addiction when the mixed parenting style was regarded as a reference group. Maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediated the relationship between negative parenting style and internet addiction when the mixed parenting style was regarded as a reference group.

This longitudinal study of 1148 college students over 3 years and 6 times examined the characteristics of independent developmental trajectories of cybervictimization and joint developmental trajectories of cybervictimization and cyberbullying using the latent class growth model. The study analyzed the effect of gender by using logistic regression. The results showed that: 1) there were 3 independent developmental trajectories of cybervictimization among college students (high victimization - declining group, medium victimization - rising group, and low victimization - stable group); 2) 2 joint developmental trajectories of cybervictimization and cyberbullying (medium victimization - low bullying - rising group and low victimization - low bullying - stable group); 3) there were significant gender differences in both the independent developmental trajectories of cybervictimization and the joint developmental trajectories of cybervictimization and cyberbullying, with boys being more involved in cyberbullying and cybervictimization. The results of this study provide support and evidence for the prevention and intervention of cybervictimization among college students.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived school climate and cyberbullying as well as the role of deviant peer affiliation and parent-child cohesion. A total of 1202 junior high school students were surveyed by using the School Climate Scale, Deviant Peer Affiliation Questionnaire, Parent-Child Cohesion Questionnaire, and Cyberbullying Scale. The results showed that: 1) perceived school climate significantly negatively predicted cyberbullying of junior high school students; 2) deviant peer affiliation was the mediator between perceived school climate and cyberbullying; 3) parent-child cohesion moderated perceived school climate on middle school students’ cyberbullying mediating pathways and direct pathways. The results have a theoretical and practical value for the intervention of junior high school students’ cyberbullying behavior.

Based on two independent factors of rumination, this study used structural equation modeling to examine the effects of victimization on proactive and reactive aggression among adolescents. Two thousand four hundred and twenty-seven students were followed up for six months and were examined for two waves. The results showed that: 1) Victimization (T1) had a significant positive predictive effect on different types of aggression, including proactive aggression (T2) and reactive aggression (T2). 2) Anger rumination (T2) fully mediated the relation between victimization (T1) and proactive/reactive aggression (T2). 3) Sadness rumination (T2) fully mediated the relation between victimization (T1) and reactive aggression (T2). No mediating effect of sadness rumination (T2) between victimization (T1) and proactive aggression (T2) was found. The findings suggest that educators should pay attention to the different types of rumination among adolescents and provide educational guidance on rumination cognition of adolescents, so as to block the link between victimization and aggression among early adolescents.

To explore the relationship among parenting burnout, parent-child relationships, as well as the roles of marital quality and co-parenting, 416 parents from primary and middle schools were tested by using the Parental Burnout Inventory, Relationship Assessment Scale, Parents’ Perceptions of the Co-Parenting Relationship and Child-Parent Relationship Scale. The results showed that: 1) The level of parenting burnout among fathers was significantly higher than that of mothers. 2) Parenting burnout of fathers and mothers could significantly predict their own parent-child relationship, and there was also a significant negative correlation between them. 3) The fathers’ marital quality partially mediated the relationship between the fathers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship; however, the mothers’ marital quality had no significant mediating effect on the relationship between the mothers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship. 4) The fathers’ marital quality and co-parenting played a chain mediating role in the relationship between the fathers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationship; similarly, the mothers’ marital quality and co-parenting also played a chain mediating role in the relationship between the mothers’ parenting burnout and the parent-child relationships.

The purpose of studies was to examine the relationship between sour taste and creativity from the aspects of creative personality and creative thinking. Study 1 used the zero-acquaintance personality judgment task to explore the effect of taste preference on creative personality judgment through behavioral experiment method. Study 2 used questionnaires to explore the relationship between liking sour taste and creative thinking, as well as the mediating role of risk-taking tendency between the two. Study 3 explored the effect of drinking sour water on creative thinking through behavioral experiment method. The results showed that: 1) people who stated a preference for sour taste, were considered to be the individuals with high scores on risk-taking tendency and creative personality; 2) liking sour taste positively predicted creative thinking, between which risk-taking tendency played the mediating role; 3) drinking sour water promoted the originality of creative thinking. These results suggest a strong relationship between sour taste and creativity.

We recruited 1073 college students from four universities, using Social Network Sites Addiction Scale, Technology Conflict Scale, Fatigue Scale, the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale, to investigate the effect of social network sites addiction on subjective well-being and its underlying mechanism among college students. Results showed that: 1) There were significant positive correlations between any two of the three variables, that is, problematic social media use, technology conflict, fatigue, each of which was negatively correlated with subjective well-being. 2) Problematic social media use significantly negatively predicted subjective well-being. 3) Problematic social media use affected subjective well-being through three paths: the first was the mediating role of technology conflict; the second was the mediating role of fatigue; the third was the chain-mediated role of both technology conflict and fatigue. This study uncovered the mechanism underlying the relationship between problematic social media use and subjective well-being, which not only contributes to the understanding of the complex mechanism between problematic social media use and its outcomes, but also has enlightening significance for us to guide college students use social network sites appropriately and moderately and to promote their psychosocial adaptation.

To explore the relationship between family rituals and self-control, 1380 high school students participated in this study and were measured by Family Ritual Questionnaire, Parent-Child Attachment Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and Brief Self-Control Scale. The results showed that: 1) family rituals, parent-child attachment and meaning in life were positively correlated with self-control of adolescents; 2) parent-child attachment and meaning in life played partial mediating roles between family rituals and self-control; 3) parent-child attachment and meaning in life played significant chain mediating roles between family rituals and self-control.

To explore the influence mechanism of college students’ self-accountability on their prosocial behavioral intention, 836 college students were investigated by questionnaires on their self-accountability level, general self-efficacy, anticipated pride and prosocial behavioral intention. The results showed that self-accountability among college students could not only directly promote prosocial behavioral intention, but also indirectly influence prosocial behavioral intention through the chain mediation of self-efficacy and anticipated pride. However, the direct predictive effect of self-efficacy was insignificant. The findings provide a theoretical basis for improving the moral level of college students through both the stimulation of the sense of responsibility and the cultivation of moral emotions.

To develop the problematic mobile phone use scale short version (PMPUS-S) and very short version (PMPUS-VS), data were collected from college and middle-school students in Tianjin city. Based on exploratory factor analysis, the PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS were developed from the item pool of Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaires. Measurement invariance was tested based on the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability and validity were assessed. The results showed that the PMPUS-S contained 8 items (4 items under each dimension) and 2 dimensions (withdrawal behavior and nomophobia), while the PMPUS-VS contained all 4 items in the withdrawal behavior dimension. The PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS exhibited strong reliability and validity. Moreover, the PMPUS-S had strict invariance across age groups and genders, while the PMPUS-VS had strict invariance across age groups and did not meet measurement invariance across gender. The results suggest that PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS meet the requirements of psychometric characteristics and can be used to evaluate the problematic mobile phone usage behavior of individuals.

Using the 10-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS-10) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), 8019 first-year students from two medical universities in Shandong Province were surveyed. Multi-group confirmatory analysis (MCFA) was conducted to examine the measurement invariance of RRS-10 across gender and depressive symptoms, respectively. The independent two-sample t test showed no gender difference in the scores of RRS-10 and subscales. The total scores of RRS-10 and subscale scores of brooding and reflection in the depression-positive group were significantly higher than those in the depression-negative group. The configural invariance, metric invariance, scalar invariance and strict invariance of RRS-10 across different genders and depressive symptoms all showed good fitness. There was a significant difference in rumination between depression-positive students and depression-negative students. The 2-factor model of RRS-10 had good fitness of measurement invariance across different genders and depressive symptoms in Chinese medical first-year students.
