The results showed that: (1) Family functioning significantly positively predicted college students’ creative self-efficacy and creativity; (2) Creative self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between family functioning and creativity; (3) Gender moderated the direct path between family functioning and creativity, with family functioning having a significantly greater effect on the creativity of female college students than that of male college students; (4) Gender also moderated the indirect path between family functioning and creativity, with the mediating effect of creative self-efficacy being significantly stronger among male college students than that among female college students. The study reveals the mechanism through which family functioning influences college students’ creative tendencies, providing corresponding intervention recommendations to enhance their creativity levels.

The Association between Only-Child Status, Gender, and Gender-Typed Traits in Adolescents Liu Xisha Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (12):  721-731.  Abstract ( 10 )   PDF（pc） (982KB) ( 7 )   Save Based on a sample of 1382 students from ordinary middle school in Hefei City, this study explored the relationship between adolescents’ only-child status and their masculinity and femininity, while examining the moderating effect of gender. The results showed that in terms of masculinity, there was no no significant difference between only-children and non-only-children regardless of gender. Regarding femininity, no significant difference was found between only-daughters and non-only-daughters, whereas only-sons exhibited significantly lower femininity than non-only-sons. These findings indicate that in the current social context, the development of masculinity is emphasized, while the femininity receives insufficient attention, particularly evident among only-son groups. These results provide references for promoting balanced development of gender traits in adolescents. Related Articles | Metrics

Whether Intuitive or Deliberative Choices Better Reflect the True Self?A Perspective from Collectivist Culture WANG Xiuxin, HU Xiaohan, LIU Jie, SUN Fengyang, LI Zhaoxu Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (12):  732-743.  Abstract ( 13 )   PDF（pc） (999KB) ( 8 )   Save Studies conducted in individualistic cultures have found that individuals tend to believe that choices made intuitively better reflect their true selves. To test whether this conclusion can be generalized to collectivist cultures, experiments were conducted in China, a typical collectivist culture. Experiment 1 replicated previous studies, using a product choice task and instructions to trigger the decision-making process. Experiment 2 and 3 expanded the task domain, manipulated decision-making process through decision time, and measured the confidence in the choices. The results indicated that under a collectivist culture, individuals believed that choices made after deliberation better reflected their true selves, with choice confidence serving as a mediator. These findings preliminarily reveal cultural differences in people’s belief that whether intuitive or deliberative choices better reflect their true self, and deepen the understanding of differences in the true self under individualistic-collectivist cultures.

Research Progress on Intervention Strategies for Stigma of Disabilities from an Evidence-Based Perspective ZHAO Yiyu, WANG Tao Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (12):  744-756.  Abstract ( 11 )   PDF（pc） (907KB) ( 5 )   Save Stigma of disabilities refers to negative stereotypes about persons with disabilities and the resulting prejudice and discrimination behaviors, including public stigma and self-stigma of persons with disabilities, which will directly have an extremely negative impact on their physical and mental health, education, social interaction and employment, and indirectly lead to the stigmatization of families and groups closely related to persons with disabilities. In view of the negative effects of stigma of disabilities, it is necessary to intervene in the public stigma and self-stigma of disabilities. Based on the evidence-based practice of researchers on stigma of disabilities, the intervention strategies and their effects for both explicit and implicit public stigma and self-stigma of disabilities were respectively sorted out among which the intervention effects of education and contact were particularly good. Future studies need to flexibly combine multiple intervention strategies, comprehensively consider all dimensions of public stigma, try to improve the content of intervention for stigma of disabilities, conduct more targeted interventions based on individual differences, and strengthen the construction of barrier-free environment as a whole.

Young Heart of the Older Never Fades Away: A Review on Subjective Age and Future Directions QIU Xiaoting, ZONG Zhaobiao, CHEN Jiayan, WU Tiejun, DUAN Jinyun Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2025, 13 (12):  757-768.  Abstract ( 8 )   PDF（pc） (899KB) ( 6 )   Save While chronological age is objective, subjective age refers to a person’s subjective perception of their age, which differs from person to person. Physical, psychological, and social context factors influence subjective age on the one hand; on the other, younger subjective age has positive effects, and older subjective age has negative effects. From the perspectives of temporal explanations, age discrimination, and individual beliefs, this paper introduced three significant theories of subjective age. Based on the three theories, an entirely novel integrative theory termed the multidimensional, multitemporal, and ecological framework was also presented. Based on this foundation, the paper makes four key recommendations for future research: distinguishing state and trait subjective age, using multidimensional or unidimensional measures, combining psychosocial and physiologically relevant theories, and investigating more nuanced, contextual questions.
