    JIANG Mingzhao, SUN Ling, ZHANG Hongchuan
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (10):  622-628.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.10.005

    Obesity is not only a simple physical problem, but also affected by social environment and structural factors. In developed countries, socioeconomic status is negatively related to obesity, but this relationship exists only in women. In developing countries, the relationship between socioeconomic status and obesity shows a consistent positive association among various human group. Based on the empirical evidence, we can explain the socioeconomic disparities in obesity from three aspects: material and economic conditions, social culture and individual psychological factors. Future work should select a nationally representative sample, further investigate the understanding of the relationship between socioeconomic status and obesity and its intrinsic mechanism, and give full consideration to the influence of the local background to provide an effective theoretical guidance for the containment of the spread of obesity in our country.

    WANG Jingyu, QU Kejia
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (10):  629-640.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.10.006

    Based on the cue-utilization model, we sorted out relevant research in this field from the three aspects of intrinsic cues, extrinsic cues, and mnemonic cues that influence peoples judgment of learning. Then, we summarized two potential mechanisms for the cue effect of judgment of learning (belief VS. processing fluency). In addition, we also gave some suggestions about the future research. The future research should continue to explore the sensitivity of judgment of learning to intrinsic cues and extrinsic cues, clarify the role of belief in judgment of learning, explore the conditions for the process fluency to play a role in learning judgment and so on.
