Each of the 120 participants completed the comparative thinking priming task, explicit occupation gender stereotype questionnaire, Big Five Inventory, and the implicit association test.The results showed that: (1) Both explicit and implicit occupational gender stereotypes were significant among undergraduates,but they had no significant gender differences. (2) Comparative thinking couldnt significant reduce occupation gender stereotype. (3) The extraversion of big five personality moderated the different comparative thinking effect on explicit occupation gender stereotype, which different comparative thinking positively predicted explicit occupational gender stereotype in high extraversiongroup but no effect in low extraversion group. The present study found that undergraduates different comparative thinking could lower down explicit occupation gender stereotype in high extraversion group. Related Articles | Metrics

The Effect of Moral Emotion on the Prosocial Behavior of College Students TIAN Junmei, LIU Dandan, LU Furong Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (12):  714-721.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.12.002 Abstract ( 548 )   PDF（pc） (690KB) ( 747 )   Save In order to explore the influence of moral emotions with different valence on the prosocial behavior of college students, this study takes moral emotion as the independent variable and prosocial behavior as the dependent variable, tested 60 undergraduates with the method of Emotional Induction Experiment and Implicit Association Test (IAT) and the College Student Prosocial Tendency Scale. The results illustrate that (1) the effect of the implicit association test is significant and college students have implicit prosocial behavior; (2) undergraduate scores of implicit prosocial behavior have no significant correlation with the scores of explicit emotional prosocial behavior, compliant prosocial behavior, altruistic prosocial behavior, anonymity prosocial behavior, urgent prosocial behavior, open prosocial behavior and the total scores of prosocial behaviors; (3) the positive moral emotion group and the negative moral emotion group of college students scored significantly higher than the neutral emotion group in the total scores of explicit prosocial behavior and the scores of emotionality, compliance, altruism, anonymity, openness and urgency;(4) compared with the neutral emotion group, college students showed more significant implicit prosocial behavior in the positive moral emotion group, but there are no striking differences in the scores of the implicit prosocial behavior of negative moral emotion group and the positive and neutral emotion group. Therefore, the prosocial behavior of college students has obvious separation effect, that is, prosocial behavior is explicit and implicit, and the two have relatively independent structure; positive moral emotion can stimulate the explicit and implicit prosocial behavior of college students. Negative moral emotions can stimulate the explicit prosocial behavior of college students, but they do not necessarily stimulate the implicit prosocial behavior of college students.

Tea imagery is a symbolic picture which its image is tea. We adopt content analysis method to study tea poems of Tang Song Dynasty by taking the train of thought: imagery category, specific imagery, imagery feature, theme dimension. The results are as follows: Tea imagery contains 9 dimensions: “season”, “time”, “solid-soft”, “noisy-quiet”, “light-heavy”, “far-near”, “flexibility”, “Qing”, “leisure”. According to the results of Chi-Square Test and frequency comparison, tea imagery expressed in poems of Tang, Song Dynasty showed the image of “spring”, “night”, “soft”, “quiet”, “light”, “far”, “flexibility”, “Qing” and “leisure”. “Spring” makes people vigorous, adjusts negative emotions; “night” makes people calm, promotes self-cognition; “soft” can help people satisfy aesthetic demand, reach a balance of psychological tendencies; “quiet” promotes self-integration through ritualistic behavior; “light” represents a relaxed, broad-minded psychological trait; “far” makes people back to nature and gains nutriment; “flexibility” helps people feel living beauty; “Qing” keeps people sober-minded and quiet; “leisure” helps people to adjust themselves and face life sanely.

Sweetness Enhancement Effect of Romantic Semantics LI Jiatong, WANG Liusheng Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (12):  746-751.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.12.005 Abstract ( 435 )   PDF（pc） (690KB) ( 814 )   Save Some studies have found that sweet taste is associated with romantic emotion, and sweetness could influence semantic processing of romance, but it is not clear whether the activation of the romance semantic could influence sweetness perception. The aim of thisstudywas to investigate the effect of romantic semantic processing on sweet taste perception using the repeated measurement design. Forty-three participants completed the true and false lexical judgment and the assessment of the degree of sweetness. The results showed that the scores of sweetness in the condition of romantic words were significantly higher than those inthe condition of positive but not romantic word and neutral words, indicating that romantic semantic priming has a promotion effect of sweetness.

Analysis of Moral Self-regulation Based on Theory of Mind CUI Yichen, ZHAO Ziye, Xia Qi, Wang Jinyi Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2018, 6 (12):  760-768.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2018.12.007 Abstract ( 380 )   PDF（pc） (756KB) ( 656 )   Save Theory provides direct motivation for peoples moral self-regulation as an effective motivational system. For individual, moral self adjusting is a relatively independent cognitive processing, it processes moral self image through the cognitive structure of “theory of mind” so as to realize the dynamic evaluation of moral self consciousness. On the one hand, because peoples moral self-regulation is influenced by social culture and context, certain behavior of moral self consciousness and the ideal of moral self image is not consistent so the individuals will maintain the balance of the moral self-regulatory mechanism through the theory of mind. On the other hand, the feedback mechanism of moral self-regulation is regulated by the interpretation of psychological theory. Based on relevant theories, a psychological model of moral self-regulation can be constructed. According to the model, the moral self-regulation formed the corresponding feedback mechanism based on the interpretation level of psychological theory. On the basis of feedback mechanism, psychological theory further activates moral identity. The model focuses on the internal influencing factors to discuss the moral self-regulation. The future research can further explore the mechanism of psychological theory on moral self-regulation by focusing on two main lines: one is the study that how the predictive function of psychological theory intervenes the intervention of moral self-regulation. The second investigation is the lifelong development of the relationship between psychological theory and moral self-regulation. These results can provide a more solid empirical basis for the cultivation of individual moral autonomy. Related Articles | Metrics
