To explore the interactive relationship between socioeconomic status and trust in government. A cross lagged analysis was conducted on socioeconomic status and trust in government of 10790 residents in the China Family Panel Studies database from 2012 (T1) to 2020 (T5). Result showed that there was a significant positive correlation between socioeconomic status and trust in government measured five times; Socioeconomic status at T1 to T5 were positively correlated, and trust in government at T1 to T5 were positively correlated; There are interdependent relationships between socioeconomic status and trust in government. The results revealed that there is a bidirectional relationship between socioeconomic status and trust in government, which is mutually predictive and causal.

Western studies have shown that the socioeconomic status (SES) of patients can influence others' cognitive empathy towards their pain, yet research within the context of Chinese society is lacking, as is exploration of its internal mechanisms. This study, based on the stereotype content model, posits the mediating role of perceived competence. Two experiments were conducted, with one involving laypeople and the other with medical professionals. In Study 1, it was found that as the SES of patients decreased, laypeople’s cognitive empathy also decreased, with perceived competence acting as a mediating factor. In contrast, Study 2 demonstrated that the SES of patients did not influence the cognitive empathy of medical professionals, differing from both Study 1 and Western research findings. This indicates a unique aspect of cognitive empathy among the group of Chinese medical professionals, which may be attributed to the quality training and professional requirements of medical disciplines, as well as the real-world differences between Eastern and Western societies.

To investigate the influence and mechanism of rumination on learning burnout, we conducted a questionnaire survey among 680 middle school students utilizing the Ruminative Responses Scale, Learning Burnout Scale, Resilience Scale, and Meaning in Life Scale. The main findings of this study were as follows: (1) Rumination significantly positively predicted learning burnout. (2) Resilience played a mediating role in the relationship between rumination and learning burnout. (3) Meaning in life moderated the direct effect of rumination on learning burnout. Drawing upon the strength model of self-control, this study unveiled the internal mechanism of learning burnout in middle school students. It provided a reference for the prevention and intervention  of learning burnout in middle school students.

Based on the evaluation method of fuzzy mathematics, this study explored the comprehensive effects of takeover lead time, driving trust, emotional arousal, and gender factors on takeover performance. Questionnaires and experiments were used to evaluate the performance of the subjects' autonomous driving takeover. The results showed that the takeover performance of 3s lead time was the best, followed by 5s, and the takeover performance of 8s was the worst. Driver takeover performance with low driving trust is better than that with high trust; Male drivers performed better takeovers than women, drivers performed better when neutral emotions were aroused, and interactions showed that men had the worst takeover performance after arousing positive emotions. The main conclusion of this study is that the driver's emotional stability favors the driver's takeover of the vehicle in an emergency.

This study targeted 2,369 middle school students to revise the Online Prosocial Behavior Scale (OPBS) originally developed by Erreygers et al. Based on the translation and back-translation of the original OPBS, the study sequentially conducted item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity analysis, and reliability analysis for the two subscales of the Chinese version of the Online Prosocial Behavior Scale (implementation and reception of online prosocial behavior). The results indicated that the Cronbach's α coefficients for the two subscales were 0.92 and 0.94, respectively, with retest reliabilities of 0.91 and 0.94, respectively. The correlation coefficients between the two subscales and offline prosocial behavior, as well as the frequency of digital multimedia usage, ranged between 0.24 and 0.82 (p < 0.01). The Chinese version of the OPBS demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it suitable for assessing the online prosocial behavior of Chinese adolescents.

Digitalization is the inexorable trend for organizations, and the broad application of digital technology has exerted conflicting impact on employees’ psychology and behaviors. On the psychological level, digital technology extends personal ability and promotes positive self-evaluations and fairness, but aggravates materialism, brings about job burnout and low organizational commitment as well. In terms of behaviors, employees prefer and are habituated to gamification, multitasking and collaborating, but they also exhibit problem behaviors, such as depending on technology, checking habits, cyberloafing and so on. Finally, we suggest that future research should notice the discrepancy of individual digital experience, distinguish psychological motivation, focus on proactive behaviors, emphasize advanced cognitive functions, and managers should cultivate the climate of openness to attenuate the negative impact brought by digitalization.
