Chinese Innovation for Behaviorist Psychology: Type D Conditioning Hypothesis Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (1):  1-22.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.01.001 Abstract ( 268 )   PDF（pc） (1092KB) ( 660 )   Save Based on analysis and coding of the depth interviewed materials from 78 drug addicts and their family members, the authors found an extremely common phenomenon: whenever drug addicts returned to a previous space where they used drug, they were attacked by the symptoms of drug withdrawal. This phenomenon couldnt be explained effectively with such learning theories as Pavlovs classical conditioning, Skinners operant conditioning or Banduras social cognitive theory, which are considered as canonical theories in the psychological textbooks. Accordingly, the authors formulated Type D conditioning hypothesis and investigated five related themes: (1) defining the concept of drug; (2) three phases of Type D conditioning; (3) fundamental differences between Type D conditioning and classical conditioning; (4) from Type D conditioning to operant conditioning; (5) the prospects and practical implications of researches into Type D conditioning. Type D conditioning hypothesis is innovation for learning theories of classical conditioning, operant conditioning and social cognitive theory. Moreover, Type D conditioning hypothesis stands for innovation of the 20th century Western psychology by the 21st Chinese psychology. On the perspective of behaviorist psychology for drug control, Type D conditioning hypothesis is innovation of antidrug psychology. Related Articles | Metrics

The Effect of College Students MoodCongruency on Their Implicit and Explicit Memory: Emotional Contrast Effects Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (1):  23-28.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.01.002 Abstract ( 251 )   PDF（pc） (709KB) ( 405 )   Save Using the traditional task dissociation paradigm to explore the effect of moodcongruency on implicit and explicit memory in order to reveal the different mechanism of the effect of emotion induction on explicit and implicit memory. The results showed that: (1) in the completion test, the correct amount of positive words memory was significantly higher than the negative words memory, the correct amount of negative words memory was significantly higher than the neutral words; (2) subjects correct amount of positive words memory in the completion test was significantly higher than in the recognition test, but there were no significant difference for the negative words and neutral words between the completion and recognition tests; (3) in the implicit memory, moodcongruent and mood reverse inconsistent memory scores were significantly higher than mood neutral inconsistent memory score, but there were no significant difference between moodcongruent and mood reverse inconsistent memory score; in explicit memory, there were no significant difference for moodcongruent, mood reverse inconsistent and mood neutral inconsistent memory scores. These results suggest that subjects have significant emotional vocabulary memory bias in the implicit memory, and the positive emotion vocabulary memory bias is particularly significant. Moodcongruency promotes subjects implicit memory, and the emotional contrast effects appear. However, there are no the effects in the explicit memory. Related Articles | Metrics

All studies included 22 independent samples with a total of 11712 participants. Results of metaanalysis showed that materialism has a negative correlation with subjective wellbeing (r=-0.20, p<0.001), life satisfaction(r=-0.19, p<0.001)and positive emotions (r=-0.10, p<0.01)significantly, and it had a positive correlation with negative emotion (r=0.20, p<0.001). Moderator analysis revealed that the relationship between materialism and subjective wellbeing was regulated by the publication time, gender differences and type of participants (e.g. publication time could negatively adjust this relationship), while the moderating effects of research approach of subjective wellbeing and the type of publicationwere not significant.

Walking on the Road of Mutual Communication between Psychology and Education:A Review on the Book “Psychology for Teachers” Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (1):  61-64.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.01.007 Abstract ( 242 )   PDF（pc） (669KB) ( 451 )   Save Observing the current educational practice in China in the background of evidencebased practice, we can find the absence of “evidence” for educational practice and the lack of scientific research on education problems. So teachers’ consciousness of theory and ability of practice need to be improved. For teachers, educational psychology is an important resource to improve their theoretical literacy and teaching ability, and is an important scientific basis for educational practice. Recently, the book “psychology for teachers” published by the East China Normal University press is a useful attempt to span the bridge between psychology and educational practice. The book has the following characteristics: (1) the multiple perspectives of psychology to examine and interpret the educational practice; (2) highlights the Enlightenment of positive psychology to education; (3) the reader group and the audience are fully considered, and the book is a real psychology“for teachers”from the content and form；(4) highlights the educational value orientation of “learnercentered” and “learningcentered”, embodies the educational ideology of “teaching for learning” and “teaching by learning”; (5) the view is not extreme and radical, shows the “balance”, “the golden mean” thought, and strives to objectively display various psychological principles and their educational applications.
