    In the current study, the Chinese Version of Almost Perfect Scale-Revised(APS-R)is developed and its re?鄄liability and validity are examined. 1174 college students participate the first test and 321 students participate the retest. The internal consistency reliability is 0.823. The retest reliability is from 0.677 to 0.716.The split-half reliability is from 0.661 to 0.834. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis offer support for the 3 subscales of the APS-R: High Standards, Order, and Discrepancy. The High Standards of APS-R and measures of self-es?鄄teem, self-efficacy and positive affect are positively correlated. The Discrepancy and measures of depression, state anxiety, trait anxiety and negative affect are negatively correlated. The revised Chinese Version of Almost Perfect Scale-Revised(APS-R)with acceptable validities and reliabilities can be applied in perfectionism research areas and psychotherapy and counseling fields.

    SES scale and self-compiled questionnaire ″Undergraduates Social Support Questionnaire″ were used to test 370 undergraduates to explore the relations between their self-esteem and social support. The results showed: Un?鄄dergraduates′ self-esteem from city was significantly higher than those from country. Female undergraduates′ so?鄄cial supports were significantly higher than male undergraduates′. The social supports from sophomores were sig?鄄nificantly lower than those from juniors and seniors. Undergraduates′ self-esteem was significantly positively cor?鄄related with the three sorts of social supports which contained the structure of social support(classmates and friends′ support, family support, lovers′ support, teachers′ support), the properties of social support(emotional support, company support, tangible support, informational support, evaluation of support). The total of social sup?鄄port, emotional support, classmates and friends′ support were positive predictors of undergraduates′ self-esteem. The higher self-esteem of undergraduates was showed, the more degrees of social supports were received. Under?鄄graduates′ self-esteem had interaction with social support.

    Abstract5629)      PDF(pc) (822KB)(3516)       Save
    Using DRM paradigm, the authors asked the subjects to judge the graphic structure or the tone of Chinese characters, for studying the word lists indirectly. The authors investigated some factors that influenced true and false recognition. These factors were association, encoding style, testing context(times of testing and the color of test words). The results showed that:(1)the more of the association between unstudied words and studied words, the more false recognition rate, which suggested that association is an necessary factor of inducing false memory; (2)false recognition under the condition of graphic-judgments was significantly higher than the condition of phonological-judgments, which suggested that graphic-semantic relationship is closer than phonological-semantic relationship;(3)the testing context has different effect on true and false memory, which suggested that they share a same source but with totally different mechanism.

    According to the caring theory and the meaning-making model, this study investigated 1377 middle school students in Chongqing by questionnaires, and aimed to explore the relationship between teachers’ caring behavior and middle school students’ academic stress, as well as the role of sleep quality and meaning in life in it. The results showed that: 1) teachers’ caring behavior was negatively correlated with middle school students’ academic stress; 2) sleep quality served as a mediator to transmit the effect of teachers’ caring behavior on middle school students’ academic stress; 3) meaning in life moderated the relationship between teachers’ caring behavior, sleep quality and middle school students’ academic stress. Specifically, meaning in life moderated the first half of the indirect path and the direct path. These results indicate that teachers’ caring behavior can affect middle school students’ academic stress through sleep quality, and middle school students with higher meaning in life can better regulate sleep quality and academic stress.

    Review on the Theory of Relational Complexity
    Zhang Li, Xin Ziqiang
       2006, 4 (4): 312-317.  
    Abstract5109)      PDF(pc) (568KB)(4071)       Save
    The analysis of task complexity is an important subject of both developmental psychology and psychometrics. Halford et al. proposed a theory of relational complexity to interpret the essence of task difficulty. To be exact, the difficulty of task can be determined by the number of argument or dimension related, which is called the re?鄄lational complexity. The relational complexity is increased with the processing demand. We can adopt such mech?鄄anisms as conceptual chunking and segmentation to reduce the complexity. Cognitive development is due to the increase of the relational complexity with age. The problems of the theory lie in no distinguishing the ″problem difficulty″ from ″problem solving difficulty″, and paying little attention on the hierarchical relation among dimen?鄄sions and no explicit expounding some theoretical problems, which point out the direction for future study.
