Influence of Intergroup Contact on Perceived Social Justice and the Mediating Effect of Group Attitude Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  194-200.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.001 Abstract ( 226 )   PDF（pc） (569KB) ( 1027 )   Save This study mainly focused on the effect of intergroup contact on social justice and the mediating effect of group attitude. The study collected data from university students based on questionnaire method and got 198 effective samples in total. Under the controlling of the variables such as gender and age, hierarchical regression results showed: (1) For university students from Shanghai or other cities, intergroup contact can affect group attitude significantly. Students with a higher intergroup contact level tend to have more positive group attitude. (2) For university students from other cities, intergroup contact can affect social justice significantly. Students with a higher intergroup contact level tend to perceive the social fairer, and group attitude mediates the effect between intergroup contact and social justice. (3) For university students from Shanghai, intergroup contact has no significant effect on social justice. Related Articles | Metrics

The Influence of Group Permeability and Status Legitimacy on Sense of Belonging：Mediating Role of Discrimination Perception Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  201-208.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.002 Abstract ( 403 )   PDF（pc） (614KB) ( 819 )   Save This study, based on Social Identity Theory, is to explore how two of the sociostructural characteristics of intergroup relations (permeability, legitimacy) influence sense of belonging of Shanghai. In addition, this study further investigated the influence of discrimination perception as a mediator. All the participants in this study were randomly chosen from different universities in Shanghai. The experiment was conducted using different text materials to prime participants cognition of permeability and legitimacy, and following measured the sense of belonging of Shanghai and the discrimination perception. The results were shown as follows: The perception of permeability of group boundaries and the perception of legitimacy were both positively related with nonlocal university students sense of belonging of Shanghai. Discrimination perception both partly mediated the relationship between them. Related Articles | Metrics

In Real and Web Situations: How Collective Action Tendency is Motivated by the Dual Pathway Model Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  209-216.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.003 Abstract ( 260 )   PDF（pc） (591KB) ( 546 )   Save Collective action which is often aimed at challenging groupbased discrimination or group disadvantage or at ending or preventing an injustice occurs at any age.

Since nowadays modern society is going to the Network times and internet has evolved being a platform to launch collective action. The study based on the dual pathway model of collective action, using experimental research paradigm, and focused on how collection action tendencies motivated by groupbased anger and group efficacy in the real and web situations. The results indicated that: (1) The collective action tendency of group members was significantly higher in web situation than in real situation. (2) In web situation, collection active tendency was affected by moderating emotional path. (3) In real situation, collection active tendency was affected by moderating both emotional path and rational path. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on the Relations among Big Five Personality, Interpersonal Competence and Adolescents Loneliness Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  223-230.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.005 Abstract ( 597 )   PDF（pc） (620KB) ( 1334 )   Save This study aimed to explore the relations among Big Five personality, interpersonal competence and adolescents loneliness, by surveying 500 high school students from two public high schools in Henan province with the NEO FiveFactor Inventory (NEOFFI), the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (ICQ) and the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Results showed that: (1) Big Five personality correlated closely with adolescents loneliness. Specifically, neuroticism correlated significantly and positively with loneliness, while the other four personality dimensions correlated significantly and negatively with loneliness; extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism were strong predictors of loneliness. (2) Big Five personality had important influence on adolescents interpersonal competence: extraversion was a strong predictor of adolescents interpersonal competence, and agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience were relatively stronger predictors of adolescents interpersonal competence, but neuroticism was a relatively weak predictor. (3) Relationship initiation skill and selfdisclosure skill were strong predictors of adolescents loneliness, emotional support skill and conflict resolution skill were relatively stronger predictors of adolescents loneliness. Big Five personality not only had direct effects on adolescents loneliness, but had indirect effects on adolescents loneliness through the mediation of different kinds of interpersonal competence, especially adolescents relationship initiation skill.

Can Stereotype Threat Explain the gender gap on Political Knowledge and Efficacy Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  231-236.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.006 Abstract ( 204 )   PDF（pc） (567KB) ( 1133 )   Save In this paper, 200 college students were selected as subjects, and the experimental priming paradigm was used to explore the effect of stereotype threat on sexual political knowledge and efficacy.The results showed that: (1) Stereotype threat can partially explain the gender gap on political knowledge.

(3)There was no difference on external political efficacy between men and women. Meanwhile, compared with the internal political efficacy, the subjects external political efficacy was low.

Hyperscanning Based onFunctional Nearinfrared Spectroscopy Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (4):  237-244.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.04.007 Abstract ( 478 )   PDF（pc） (942KB) ( 1672 )   Save As a new paradigm, hyperscanning is emerging from traditional measurements for neuroscience. By hyperscanning, two or more individuals brain activities can be simultaneously measured, which can reveal the interbrain neural coupling during social interactions. In this context and trends, functional nearinfrared spectroscopy could provide a noninvasive, easyoperating, and ecologically validate technique for hyperscanning. By now, the fNIRSbasedhyperscanning has been utilized in various social interactions, such as cooperation, imitation and conversation. Wavelet coherence has been widely used for analysis of interbrain synchronization. Furthermore,fNIRSbased crossbrain neurofeedback will be one of the most important developments of hyperscanning.

To achieve these purposes, it must carry out some necessary adjustments and transformations. On the aspect of research rationals, it should strengthen its application orientation and the ability of changing reality, so as to solve more practical problems. On the aspect of empirical research methods, it should include both subjective and objective variables in a study, adopt samples consisting of diverse populations and in different sizes, improve ecological validity, correctly use statistical approaches. On the aspect of theoretical thinking, it should apply both the logic of hypothesisdeduction and induction, and be good at developing original theories. Related Articles | Metrics
