Mediation Effect of Selfesteem and Social Anxiety between Perceived Social Support and Conflict and Betrayal Behavior Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  65-72.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.001 Abstract ( 274 )   PDF（pc） (591KB) ( 673 )   Save The main aim of this article is to explore the relationship between their perception of social support and conflictbetrayal behavior, and the intermediary functionality due to selfesteem and social anxiety. Totally 440 students were surveyed with selfesteem scale, social anxiety scale, perceived social support scale and friendship quality questionnaire. Based on these questionnaires, we construct an Amos model to fit the data. The results showed that, (1) boys scores in conflictbetrayal behavior were higher than girls, while girls scores in perceived social support were higher than boys; (2) conflictbetrayal behavior was positively correlated with social anxiety, which was negatively correlated with both perceived social support and selfesteem; Selfesteem was negatively correlated with social anxiety, but positively correlated with perceived social support; (3) social anxiety and selfesteem played a chain intermediation role between perceived social support and conflictbetrayal behavior. This study showed that increasing the level of individual understanding of social support and selfesteem and slowing down the level of social anxiety could help individuals build better intimate relationships and reduce conflictbetrayal behavior.

Influence of English Word Pairs Difficulty and Learning Ways on Memory Accuracy Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  73-78.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.002 Abstract ( 208 )   PDF（pc） (572KB) ( 672 )   Save In order to investigate the memory effect of different words on difficulty and learning style under the condition of English learning materials, this study adopted two factors (learning method: interval learning, centralized learning) × 2 (word difficulty: low difficulty, high difficulty) experimental design, the dependent variable was the recall accuracy. The experimental results showed that there was no significant difference in the accuracy of learning between the two learning methods, and between the difficulty of the words. For the low difficulty words, there was no significant difference in the accuracy of different learning methods. For the higy difficulty words, the memory accuracy of the concentrated learning was significantly higher than recollecting at intervals. This study provided a basis for students to adopt concentrated learning strategy to learn English to improve their English, and lay the foundation for a more effective English learning strategy.

The Effects of Authentic Leadership on Medical Staffs Job Satisfaction: The Role of Leader Identification and Emotional Intelligence Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  79-88.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.003 Abstract ( 262 )   PDF（pc） (651KB) ( 443 )   Save Most of previous researches try to explain the mechanism of authentic leadership from three perspectives: social exchange theory, social psychological theory and social comparative theory. Drawing on social identity theory and emotional abilities model, this study investigated the mediating role of the followers identification with the leader between the relationship of authentic leadership and medical staffs job satisfaction in a sample of 351 medical staff. The results indicated that: (1) leader identification mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and medical staffs job satisfaction. (2) emotional intelligence moderated the relation between authentic leadership and leader identification in such a way that authentic leadership demonstrated stronger positive influence on leader identification for followers higher in emotional intelligence. In total, the study investigated the process of authentic leadership from a new theoretical perspective, and revealed some new underlying mechanism and boundaries condition between authentic leadership and medical staffs job satisfaction.

Statistical Analyses in SingleSubject Experiment Research: Effect Sizes based on NonOverlap Methods Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  89-99.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.004 Abstract ( 511 )   PDF（pc） (977KB) ( 1959 )   Save Singlesubject experiment usually yields ecologically valid results. However, the lack of statistical analyses hindered the application of singlesubject experiment and the promotion of the results. Effect sizes based on nonoverlap methods, free from the constraints of assumptions made in parametric statistics, are suitable to apply to statistical analyses in singlesubject experiment research. In recent years, more than 10 methods have emerged, among which 5 methods (namely, extended celeration line (ECL), percentage of nonoverlapping data (PND), improvement rate difference (IRD), nonoverlap of all pairs (NAP), and Tau for nonoverlap with baseline trend control (Tau-U)) are rather typical. In selection of the indicators of effect sizes, decisions should be made based on data characteristics, data trend and the discrimination power, accuracy and statistical power of indicators. For the sake of the comparison, promotion of results and the followup metaanalysis, the future use of effect sizes based on nonoverlap methods should be encouraged. Related Articles | Metrics

The Recognition Validity of FaceReader 7.0 to Common Facial Expression Image Database Systems in China Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  100-108.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.005 Abstract ( 586 )   PDF（pc） (834KB) ( 1231 )   Save FaceReader 70 was applied to recognize the facial expression images in two common expression database systems in China, USTC-NVIE and CFAPS. The results showed that: (1) the recognition rate to USTC-NVIE reached 580%, in which the facial images without glasses recognition rate is up to 640% while facial images wearing glasses recognition rate is 519%. (2) the recognition rate to CFAPS was 481%. In a word, the recognition validity of FaceReader is good to recognize Chinese common facial image database systems, and the recognition rate to the emotions “happy”, “surprise” and “neutral” is higher. However, the recognition rate to “angry”, “fear” and facial images wearing glasses remains to be further improved. Therefore, researchers should pay attention to this problem in using the software to finish important or precise studies, and manual proofreading should be added to improve the results of the study if its necessary.

A Social Psychological Analysis of Charitable Behavior Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  109-117.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.006 Abstract ( 216 )   PDF（pc） (699KB) ( 594 )   Save Research on social dilemmas has demonstrated that individuals are willing to contribute to charitable causes and those in different social status act in different ways to make contributions. According to indirect reciprocity theory, because of upstream reciprocity those in low social status are willing to donate more money when they feel more gratitude, whereas because of downstream reciprocity those in high status tend to be more generous in their donations when they hold a stronger belief in reciprocity. Moreover, trust is identified as a key step to achieve reciprocity. However, only altruistic motives induce trust and thereafter charitable commitment, whereas egoistic motives evoke those in high status to commit to make donations. In sum, charitable causes should recognize the importance of various individuals ability and willingness of cooperation, as well as their diverse motivations. Related Articles | Metrics

Selfcontrol: Definition, Theory and Expectation Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (2):  118-128.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.02.007 Abstract ( 491 )   PDF（pc） (656KB) ( 994 )   Save Selfcontrol is a selfregulatory behavior, an ability to inhibit impulse responses, and a personality trait. Under the impact of selfcontrol, individuals behave in a goaloriented way. The competition between cold/hot and control/impulsive systems influences the behavioral consequences of selfcontrol. Its mental process consists of two stages: conflict identification and conflict resolution, and mistakes at any stage could lead to the failure of selfcontrol. Selfregulatory resources and motivation play important roles in the process. Related Articles | Metrics
