    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.

    YAN Zhiqiang, SU Jinlong, SU Yanjie
    Studies of Psychology and Behavior    2018, 16 (4): 433-440.  
    Abstract1657)      PDF(pc) (671KB)(10674)       Save
    As a social glue, empathy has always been considered as one of the most important research projects in social cognitive neuroscience. However, with the deepening of research, the original concept and connotation of empathy have gradually become vague, which is embodied in the mixture of empathy, sympathy, and compassion in research. In fact, unlike empathy, sympathy and compassion have a long history. For example, the notion of ‘ceyinzhixin’, which was raised by Mencius, and Hume's sympathy theory. In order to distinguish the concept and connotation of empathy, sympathy, and compassion, and to elaborate the related problems in present research, the current study reviews the references from word sources, concepts and measurements, as to standardize the use of these terms and provide some suggestions for empirical research and theoretical discussion in this field.

    Abstract868)      PDF(pc) (497KB)(9331)       Save
    The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of morpheme frequency on compound word recognition for intermediate Indonesian-Chinese learners by using a word decision task. The study found that morpheme frequency affected Chinese compound word recognition for intermediate Indonesian-Chinese learners. In addition, the morpheme frequency effect was modulated by the position of morpheme. High frequency of initial morpheme gave rise to higher word decision accuracy than low frequency. The effect of final morpheme frequency on word recognition was modulated by the frequency of the initial morpheme. Final morpheme frequency affected word recognition only when the initial morpheme frequency was high. No significant effect was found when the initial morpheme frequency was low. The results supported that intermediate non-native Chinese learners have established morphemic representation with vocabulary development, and the frequency of initial morpheme played a more important role in Chinese compound word recognition than final morpheme.

    Abstract1800)   HTML99)    PDF(pc) (602KB)(8560)       Save
    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.

    Drawing on 249 dyads of employees and their immediate supervisors, the study attempts to probe the mechanism of the impact of the authoritarian leadership on employees' silence behavior, especially to explore the mediating role of the affect-based trust and the moderating role of the employees' power distance in Chinese organizational context. The results indicate that:1) Authoritarian leadership has a positive effect on employees' silence behavior. 2) Affect-based trust with the supervisor plays a full mediating role between authoritarian leadership and employees' silence behavior. 3) Power distance moderates the relationship between authoritarian leadership and affect-based trust. Specifically, authoritarian leadership is more negatively related to affect-based trust when power distance is high. 4) Power distance moderated the mediating role of affect-based trust in the relationship between authoritarian leadership and employees' silence behavior. That is, the higher the employees' power distance is, the stronger the mediating effect of affect-based trust with the supervisor.

    The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between parental psychological control, future orientation, parental academic involvement and academic anxiety among children. A sample of 5164 children in grades 4 to 6 from 7 primary schools of Shandong Province completed anonymous questionnaires. After controlling for age, only child and gender, the results showed that: 1) Parental psychological control could negatively predict future orientation and positively predict children’s academic anxiety. 2) The relation between parental psychological control and children’s academic anxiety was mediated by future orientation. 3) The effect of parental psychological control on children’s academic anxiety was moderated by parental academic involvement. These results indicate that parental psychological control decreases the future orientation of children and thus increases children’s academic anxiety, whereas parental academic involvement reduces the negative effects of parental psychological control on children’s academic anxiety.

    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.
