    This paper aims to compare the saccadic differences in different saccade tasks between normal children and children with learning disabilities (LD)by adopting eyemovement technology, so as to identify the children with learning disabilities (LD)early. The research was based on the nontext materials, three experiments were conducted to observe the saccades characteristics of normal children and those with learning disabilities. The first experiment was to make a comparison of the eye movement index of normal children and children with learning disabilities in reactive saccade task, which showed that the LD performed normally in reflexive saccades. Experiment II (antisaccade task) and experiment III (memoryguided saccade task) examined their ability of voluntary control of saccadic eye movements, the results indicated that the voluntary control of saccadic eye movements in learning disabilities were abnormal and delayed.

    How Career Adaptability Influences Career Success: A Moderated Mediation Analysis
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (12):  728-735.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.12.004

    This study aimed at exploring the mechanism of learning and gender difference underlying the relationship between career adaptability and career success. A valid sample of 165 MBA students was recruited to make a moderated mediation analysis using Mplus. (1)Career adaptability was found to have positive correlations with career success and learning orientation, and learning orientation also correlated positively with career success. (2)Learning orientation partially mediated the influence of career adaptability on career success. (3)Gender moderated the indirect effect of career adaptability on career success via learning orientation, and also acted as a moderator in the path from career adaptability to learning orientation. Gender difference served as a theoretical boundary about the intervening mechanism of learning orientation underlying the effects of career adaptability.

    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2017, 5 (12):  736-745.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2017.12.005

    Through questionnaire and situational experiment method, based on the survey of 186 early childhood care practitioners from township kindergarten, this study tried to investigate the influence of moral disengagement and punishment perception on early childhood care practitioners professional ethical decisionmaking, compared the differences of ethical judgment and ethical behavioral intention between four different educational situations. Results demonstrated that moral disengagement was an important antecedent variable of ethical judgment and indirectly affected ethic behavior intention through ethical judgment. Specifically, all three dimensions of moral disengagement, moral justification, obscuring or distorting causal relationship between actions and the effects they cause, disregarding or distorting the consequence, could predict ethical judgment under kindergartenbenefit and childrenharm situations. Obscuring causal relationship and distorted the harmful effects could predict ethical judgment under kindergartenharm situations. Moral justification and obscuring causal relationship could predict ethical judgment under kindergartenharm and childrenharm situations. And moral justification could predict ethical judgment under kindergartenbenefit situations. The relationships between punishment perception, ethical judgment and ethical behavior intention were not significant. That is, the depressive effect of punishment perception on ethical behavior was more significant under low ethical judgment situations. Using paired samples t test, the study compared the differences of ethical decisionmaking between organizationgain and organizationharm situations. Results demonstrate that managers ethical judgment and behavioral intention were both lower under organizationgain situations than organizationharms. Results provide evidences that moral disengagement could affect individuals decision on vocational ethics, and will contribute to understanding the psychological processes of early childhood care practitioners ethical decisionmaking. The limitations of the study and directions of future research were also discussed.
