DiscreteTrial Functional Analysis: A More Ecological Behavior Analysis Strategy Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (8):  449-455.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.08.001 Abstract ( 293 )   PDF（pc） (606KB) ( 614 )   Save DiscreteTrial Functional Analysis of challenging behavior is a variation of Traditional Functional Analysis, and is gaining more and more attention by researchers and practitioners recently because it can be operated conveniently and precisely. Compared with TFA, DTFA not only has equal effect, but also has many unique advantages: it is more discrete and convenient, can be operated by nonprofessional frontline staffs, needs fewer resources and has higher ecological validity. This field can be developed by investigating that(a) if DTFAs could be implemented with fidelity to assess much more challenging behaviors, (b) how many trials and how long a trial may be needed in order to produce a clear understanding of the behaviors function, (c) what would happen if the sequence of two segments(test and control) varied.

Missing Data Techniques in Social Network Analysis Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (8):  456-464.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.08.002 Abstract ( 316 )   PDF（pc） (698KB) ( 884 )   Save Social network analysis is the quantitative analysis of the social relations. Missing data are common in social network analysis; improper handling of missing data may increase measurement errors, reduce statistical power, and even distort the results. In our study, we will first elaborate on the causes and underlying missingness mechanism of missing data in social network analysis. Secondly, based on literature reviews of the principles of four missing data handling techniques, we will compare the merits and drawbacks of the four techniques in the practical application. In psychological research field, the selection of a proper missing data handling technique should take into consideration the premise of both missingness and missingness mechanism.

An Experiment on the Development of Block Building Level in 3-6 Yearold Children Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (8):  473-481.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.08.004 Abstract ( 434 )   PDF（pc） (706KB) ( 742 )   Save To explore the development of preschoolers block building level and the effects of task scenario and difficulty on it, 95 preschoolers aged 3 to 6 participated in this study and completed two block buildings with two different difficulty level in two different task scenarios. The researchers evaluated the block building level in two aspects including skills indexes and unique indexes. The results showed that: (1) All scores of block building evaluation index gradually improved as the grade rises; (2) Preschoolers building blocks in simulation scenario are higher than proposition scenario building blocks; (3) Building difficult blocks needs more blocks than easy building, and the scores of building works height, elaborating and inventiveness are higher than easy building;(4) In simulation scenario, difficult blocks building is higher than easy building, and scores of building works height, elaborating and inventiveness are higher than easy building, but the balance score is lower than easy building; in proposition scenario, the scores of building works height, balance, elaborating and inventiveness are higher than easy building. The results indicated that with the growth of grade, preschoolers blocks building skills gradually mature, and their building level increasingly enhance; preschoolers blocks building level is susceptible to the task difficulty and situation; the process of building blocks can contribute to the development of preschoolers imagination and creativity.

The Relationship between Resilience and Internet Addiction among College Students: The Mediating Effect of Coping Styles Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (8):  483-490.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.08.005 Abstract ( 257 )   PDF（pc） (627KB) ( 762 )   Save This study aimed to explore the relationships among resilience, coping styles and Internet addiction of college students. 351 college students from Changchun were surveyed using the Internet addiction scale, the resilience scale and the coping style scale. Pearsons correlations and structure equation models were used for data analysis. Results indicated that the correlations among resilience, coping styles and Internet addiction were significant. Specifically, resilience was positively correlated to problemsolving and helpseeking, whereas negatively to selfblame, illusion, withdrawal, and rationalization. Resilience was also negatively related to students score of Internet addiction. In addition, Internet addiction was negatively correlated to problemsolving, and positively related to selfblame, illusion, withdrawal and rationalization. College students score of resilience predicted their Internet addiction, and the relationship between resilience and internet addition was fully mediated by three types of copying styles(i.e., selfblame, illusion and rationalization).

The Psychological Mechanism that Negative News Influence Interpersonal Trust Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (8):  491-498.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.08.006 Abstract ( 305 )   PDF（pc） (592KB) ( 822 )   Save To study the influence of negative news report on interpersonal trust and its psychological mechanism, questionnaires were handed out to 1189 college students of three universities in Wuhan. In the part of experiment, singlefactor betweensubjects design was adopted to study the influence of negative news(induced positive/neutral/negative moral emotions) on interpersonal trust. In the questionnaire section , negative news were used as scenarios to explore the relation of empathy, attribution style and interpersonal trust. Then, an empathy mediating effect model with interpersonal trust was built. The results showed that: (1)Reading negative news could incur different types(positive/neutral/negative) of moral emotions, which has a conspicuous influence on readers interpersonal trust. Further more, reading negative news which could induce negative moral emotions will decrease the level of audiences interpersonal trust；(2) Empathy plays a mediating role in the negative news scene and the readers inherent attribution styles have a significant influence on interpersonal trust through the mediating effect of empathy.
