    Using the questionnaire survey method, 332 young adults were studied to explore the influence of residential mobility on willingness to social participation and its psychological mechanism. The results showed that: (1) young adults wilingness to social participation is generally optimistic and there is no significant gender, age or urban-rural difference, but only significantly different between local and foreign household registration; (2) residential mobility is negatively correlated with young adults willingness to social participation; (3) place identity played a mediating role in comprehending the relationship between residential mobility and willingness to social participation; (4) mobility autonomy played a regulating role in comprehending the relationship between residential mobility and willingness to social participation. Specifically, the negative effect of residential mobility on willingness to social participation is only significant under the condition of low mobility autonomy. The research show that improving the local identity of youth and encouraging and supporting them to give full play to their autonomy in the process of residential mobility can effectively enhance the enthusiasm of young adults with high residential mobility in social participation.

    The Inclusion of Others in Self and Prolonged Grief of the Loss of the Sole-Child Parents: A Moderated Mediation Model
    XING Yilun, SONG Chao, LUO Haoxian, WANG Jianping
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (3):  138-148.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.03.002

    This study aimed to explore the mediating role of external bond on the relationship between inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief, secondarily on the moderating role of age among the relationship. A total 147 subjects in Beijing were tested with the Prolonged Grief-13, Inclusion of Other in the Self scale and Continuing Bond scale. The results demonstrated that : (1) Prolonged grief was significantly negatively correlated with family economic level; (2) Prolonged grief was significantly positively correlated with inclusion of others in self and external bond; (3)The external bond plays a full mediating role in inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief; (4)The age also plays a moderating role in the mediation module of inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief. These findings suggest that the relationship between inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief were full mediated by external bond. Age would increase the correlation between inclusion of others in self and external bond, and decrease the correlation between external bond and prolonged grief. The current study may help us to a better understanding of the impact factors of prolonged grief, from a more localized perspective. It may also provide certain implications about the intervention of prolonged grief from the theoretical level.

    LIANG Fenghua, WENG Gangfeng
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (3):  149-157.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.03.003

    Moral disengagement involves a process of cognitive re-construing or re-framing of destructive behavior as morally acceptable. Relational aggression is a type of conceal aggression in which harm is caused by damaging someone's relationships or social status. The study used situational experiment and questionnaire methods to explore the impact of moral disengagement on relational aggression. Data were collected from 1087 middle school students. Results demonstrated that moral disengagement could significantly predict all three dimensions of relational aggression, including moral justification, blurring causality and distorting harmful effects. Male students got significantly higher scores on moral disengagement than female students, but there was no gender difference on scores of relational aggression. Students from rural areas got significantly higher scores on relational aggression than students from cities, the same results also found on scores of distorted harmful effects and obscuring causal relationship.

    HUANG Quanchao, HUANG Lianqiong, SHAO Lei, ZHANG Denghao
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (3):  158-166.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.03.004
    Abstract ( 491 )   PDF(pc) (601KB) ( 443 )   Save
    Based on a wide range of the financial practitioners, this research aimed to examine the influence of personality traits on job burnout and to explore the mediating effect of job satisfaction. 680 participants finished the Chinese Personality Scale (QZPS-SF), the short version of Minnesota Satisfaction questionnaire, and the Job Burnout Scale. Regression analysis showed that both human relations and emotionality negatively predicted job burnout. Besides, the mediation analysis indicated that job satisfaction played a partial mediating effect between human relations and job burnout. However, the relationship of emotionality and job burnout was not mediated by job satisfaction. The Big Seven model of Chinese personality could effectively predict job burnout, which means that this model is different with the Big Five model, there are systematical differences between them, and job satisfaction played a mediating effect between personality and job burnout. Therefore, improving the financial practitioners job satisfaction may reduce their job burnout level.

    ZHU Dan, ZHANG Li, YUAN Jiajin
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (3):  167-172.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.03.005

    In order to investigate volunteers lucky perception to self and others, this study recruited thirty volunteers to play gambling task when they met near-wins (nonwin outcomes that were close to a major win), and their counterpart, near-losses (nonwin outcomes that are proximal to a major loss) in a decision-making task. The results showed: in the betting behavior, their betting was reduced when they won before. Compared to no results(neither win nor lose), both to others and themselves, they felt luckier when won while unlucky when lose. Compared to full-misses, both to others and themselves, near-wins decreased individuals perceived luck while near-losses increased individuals perceived luck. Furthermore, lucky perception did not correlate with the objects(yourself or others)they were evaluated. In conclusion, the study   revealed that individuals had the same perception of lucky to self and others when they were in near-wins and near-losses situation.

    The aim of this study was to develop a self-report questionnaire that could measure family resilience in China. The reliability and validity of Family Resilience Questionnaire(FRQ)was demonstrated. First, we developed a group of questions based on open-ended investigation and previous theoretical framework. Second, A sample of 418 adult participants was investigated for exploratory factor analysis. Then a different group of 403 participant saccomplished 6 questionnaires, including FRQ for confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) and criterion-related validity analysis. 4 weeks after CFA, we conducted a test-retest reliability analysis among 63 adult students. As a result, The FRQ has 20 items, and 4 factors were extracted: perseverance, harmony, openness and support. The result of CFA suggested that the 4-factor model fitted the data well. Above all, The FRQ has satisfactory reliability and validity for application in further research.

    YU Tengxu, LIU Wen, LIU Fang
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (3):  183-192.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.03.007

    From the perspective of reinforcement learning, emotion regulation can be seen as a series of behavioral decisions aimed at achieving the desired emotional state. In order to investigate the internal process and computation mechanism of emotion regulation, we need to understand the important role of appraisal in the process of emotion generation and regulation. Some researchers even constructed models of emotion generation and regulation related to appraisal. Moreover, directions of future researches are prospected: (1) Investigate the classification and dynamic changes of emotion regulation from the perspective of reinforcement learning; (2) Explore the brain network integration mechanism (rather than single regions or circuits) of emotion regulation processunder the perspective of reinforcement learning; (3) The artificial intelligence researches adopt the non-modular concept to deal with the relationship between emotion and cognition and other components.
