The results showed that the average response latencies showed by clinically patients were longer than those showed by control participants. When the positive words and the negative words showed together, the patients paid more attention to negative stimuli and felt more difficult to transfer to the positive stimuli.

The Effect of Perceived Social Support on Social Avoidance and Distress of People with Disabilities: The Moderating Role of Selfesteem Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (11):  648-655.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.11.002 Abstract ( 249 )   PDF（pc） (654KB) ( 513 )   Save To discuss the differences between healthy people and people with disabilities in the relationship between perceived social support, selfesteem and social avoidance and distress, we surveyed 600 people with disabilities and 600 healthy people in Henan province by using Perceived Social Support Scale, Selfesteem Scale, and Social Avoidance and Distress Scale. The results indicated that: (1) There was a significant difference between people with disabilities and healthy people in perceived friends support and selfesteem. (2) Perceived social support could significantly backward predict the social avoidance and distress of people with disabilities. (3) Selfesteem could moderate the relationship between perceived familys and total score of social support and social avoidance, and it could also moderate the relationship between perceived familys, others and total score of social support and social distress. Therefore, selfesteem played a moderating role in the relationship between perceived social support and social avoidance and distress. These findings have important theoretical and reference values and may contribute to decreasing social avoidance and distress of people with disabilities. Related Articles | Metrics

The Impact of Emotion on ContextDependent Memory of English Words Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (11):  656-662.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.11.003 Abstract ( 352 )   PDF（pc） (592KB) ( 479 )   Save The present study intended to explore how different emotion states affect the contextdependence effect when students were learning English words. The study included two experiments with 80 participants totally from Shanxi Normal University. The first experiment applied withinsubjects design to study whether thecontextdependent effect exists when learning English words. The independent variable was context, which included two levels of same context and different context. The results showed that contextdependence effect existed in English words learning. English words retrieval was easier when the contexts consistent. The second experiment applied 2 (context: same vs. different)×2(emotion: positive vs. negative) mixed experimental design to study the impact of emotion on contextdependent memory of English words. The results showed that there was asignificant difference of the impact of emotion on contextdependence memory. The contextdependence effect of positive emotional participants was more obvious than negative emotional participants. Affectasinformation hypothesis was confirmed in this study. Overall information was focused on when individuals were in positive state, while details were paid more attention by individuals who were in negative emotion state. Related Articles | Metrics

The Effect of Music Therapy on Shy Adolescents and Intervention Mechanism Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (11):  663-668.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.11.004 Abstract ( 261 )   PDF（pc） (552KB) ( 746 )   Save In order to explore the effectiveness and advantages of music therapy on shy adolescents and its mechanism, 30 students with shy behaviors and high social anxiety were recruited from one Beijing middle school and were randomly assigned to three groups, which are music therapy group, cognitivebehavioral group and control group. The two experimental groups accepted group intervention adopting music therapy and cognitivebehavioral approaches for eight weeks respectively. The results indicated that (1) the instant and delayed effects of music therapy and cognitivebehavioral interventions on shy adolescents were both significant; (2) the delayed effect of music therapy intervention was significantly better than that of cognitivebehavioral intervention; (3) for music therapy group, the change amount of shy adolescents selfacceptance level can significantly predict that of shyness level in a negative direction. In conclusions, music therapy can significantly reduce adolescents shyness and had a better longterm effect comparing with cognitivebehavioral approach. Selfacceptance was the mediating variable between the relationship of music therapy intervention and alleviation of adolescents shyness. Related Articles | Metrics

The Mediating Effects of Conscientiousness on the Relations between Tightness and SelfEsteem Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (11):  669-675.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.11.005 Abstract ( 251 )   PDF（pc） (612KB) ( 353 )   Save Cultural factors have been found to affect the formation and development of individuals selfesteem. Many studies in cultural psychology examined the influences of social status or interpersonal relationships on selfesteem, yet few studies in China explored either the effect of social norms and personality on selfesteem. This study aimed at exploring the indirect effects of conscientiousness on the relations between tightness and selfesteem for Chinese students. The questionnaire of the five personality for Chinese people, the questionnaire for tightnesslooseness and the Rosenberg selfesteem scale were administered to 203 university students. Results showed that both tightness and conscientiousness correlated positively with selfesteem, and conscientiousness could mediate the relationship between the tightness and selfesteem.

The Development of Theory of Mind:Evidence from Development Psychology and Social Neuroscience Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2016, 4 (11):  684-695.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2016.11.007 Abstract ( 226 )   PDF（pc） (680KB) ( 555 )   Save Theory of mind (ToM) refers to the ability to represent ones own and others desire, belief, intention ,and so on, in order to predict others behaviors.ToM is a critic research question in both development psychology and social neuroscience. As the field of psychology diversifies, in the present in the study of ToM, developmental psychologists and social neuroscientists should increase communication with each other. Currently, theory of mind include modularity theories, simulation theories, theory theory and executive accounts, each theory was supported and questioned by social neuroscience research. At least, four issues currently have challenged the neural evidence for ToM. In the future, we should focus on structural and functional changes in brain areas associated with ToM development; and we should also examine training or genetics influence on neural changes that accompany ToM development and use transcranial magnetic stimulation to examine the brain areas that associate with simulation, conceptual advances, and executive function.
