The Effect of Leftbehind Students' Emotional Susceptibility on Interpersonal Communication WANG Shenzhen, YAO Benxian Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  641-647.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.001 Abstract ( 381 )   PDF（pc） (600KB) ( 619 )   Save The issues of college students emotions and interpersonal relationships have been studied for a long time. In the present research, participants were both the leftbehind and nonleftbehind college students using the emotionalpriming paradigm to explore the properties of the students emotional susceptibility and its impact on interpersonal communication. The results show that: (1) leftbehind college students preference for neutral faces is more susceptible to external emotional information than nonleftbehind college students; (2) leftbehind college students have more approachavoidance reaction after receiving different emotions than nonleftbehind ones, and the intensity of leftbehind college students approachavoidence reaction is significantly higher than that of nonleftbehind; (3) the level of emotional susceptibility of leftbehind college students is significantly higher than that of their nonleftbehind counterparts.

Intervention Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Group Treatment on Improving Mental Health of College Students XU Yingmei, Zhang Qi, CAO Hui Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  648-657.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.002 Abstract ( 354 )   PDF（pc） (711KB) ( 1061 )   Save In order to investigate the immediate effects, long-term effects and mechanisms of acceptance commitment therapy group treatment on the mental health of college students, 20 college students were selected as the intervention group to receive group treatment of acceptance commitment therapy and 29 college students were recruited as the control group which no group intervention was adopted. The Beck Depression Scale, the Beck Anxiety Scale, the General Health Scale, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, and the Cognitive Integration Questionnaire were used to measure the two groups before and after the intervention and the intervention group was re-measured after three months. The intervention group showed significant improvement in depression, selfesteem, mental health, empirical avoidance, and cognitive fusion. Compared with the control group, the intervention group had significant decrease in the depression and general mental health scores, and was marginally significant in cognitive fusion. The group treatment of acceptance and commitment therapy can effectively improve college students mental health status. The two important factors, experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion, had no effect on depression, but had important predictive effect on the mental health. Related Articles | Metrics

Attentional Bias of Females with Body Image Disturbance to Body Information:The Role of Mating Motive YU Xiaojie, ZHOU Hanling, XU Zhonggeng Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  658-664.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.003 Abstract ( 442 )   PDF（pc） (629KB) ( 589 )   Save Body image disturbance, also known as negative physical self, mainly refers to the individuals negative perception of the body, negative emotional experience and the corresponding negative behavior regulation. To explore whether the attentional bias of the body information in different body image levels is affected by the mating motives, a negative physical scale was used to distribute high and low level body image female participants, respectively, as the experimental group with body image imbalance and the control group. And using the dot probe task to test the attention to the body information was taken before and after the initiation of the motives. Results suggest that: (1) body image disturbance group compared to the individual control group, shows significant attention bias on both fat and thin body information; (2) after priming the mating motives, the body image imbalance group will be on the performance of fat body words. The results show that mating motivation will affect the body image imbalance in the body of information on the attention of bias. Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of Gratitude Contemplation Intervention on Improving Life Satisfaction in College Students WU Zhenghui, ZHAO Zhanfeng, LI Baoshi, LAN Shuiping Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  665-670.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.004 Abstract ( 242 )   PDF（pc） (595KB) ( 699 )   Save In order to examine the effect of gratitude contemplation intervention on life satisfaction in college students,48 college students were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=24) and the control group (n=24). During four weeks, intervention group received gratitude contemplation intervention, while the control group received no intervention. All of the participants completed the Gratitude Questionnaire-6(GQ-6) and the CASLSS before and after intervention. The results indicated that after four-week intervention, intervention group showed significantly higher score in the gratitude and life satisfaction than the control group; intervention group showed significant increase in the gratitude and life satisfaction. Thus it can be seen, gratitude contemplation intervention could increase efficiently college students level of gratitude and life satisfaction. Related Articles | Metrics

Online Cognitive Training: Current Researches and Training Effect SHEN Wanli, ZHANG Shuhan, HUANG Xiaolu, WEI Lei, HE Qinghua, Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  671-682.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.005 Abstract ( 380 )   PDF（pc） (708KB) ( 617 )   Save With the rapid development of Internet, cognitive training embodies online characteristics. The online cognitive training system uses Internet technology, which can train participants by all kinds of mobile devices or computer terminals. Meanwhile, they can receive training results feedback and prompt reminders of the training in realtime. In present study, we analyzes and summarizes the current mainstream online cognitive training software. Also, We primarily focuses on the most widely three online training program aspects: working memory, attention and speed of processing. The result shows that online working memory training has obvious near transfer effect. However, the result indicates that there was no consistent evidence for far transfer to the fluid intelligence. The training of online processing speed and attention can show better near transfer and far transfer effect. At the same time, there are some controversy about the maintenance of those online training effect. Based on the above results, this study put forward the following suggestions for future research: laying emphasis on longitudinal follow-up study design to explore the maintenance effect of training, carrying out experiments in combination with relatively objective brain imaging techniques (e. g., fMRI) to detect the brain mechanism of the training effect, probing into the root cause of the training effect and identifying the relationship between the amount of training and training benefits.

The Psychological Processing Mechanism of Empathy YUAN Xiaojing, LIU Chang, LIU Lin Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  683-692.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.006 Abstract ( 615 )   PDF（pc） (675KB) ( 1308 )   Save Empathy is a critical social ability to identify what other people feel or think and to respond with an adequate emotion to others feelings and thoughts. It can be divided into affective empathy and cognitive empathy, each of which has relatively independent neural network. In terms of evolution and ontogeny, affective empathy happens before cognitive empathy. There are two processing methods of empathy. One is the bottom-up empathy processing evoked by elementary emotion stimulation. First, emotional infection occurs, which in turn evokes affective empathy. Finally, cognitive empathy and affective empathy interact to produce empathy response. The other one is a top-down empathy processing triggered by advanced emotional information. Cognitive empathy evokes affective empathy through self-reflection, in which Medial Prefrontal Cortex plays a significant role. This article present a model that called Brain circuits for empathy which explains the component and process of empathy, and demonstrate the psychological processing mechanism of empathy. Future studies are needed to design a high ecological validity research paradigm, explore more objective empathy measurements, and enrich the positive empathy study. Related Articles | Metrics

A Review of Chinese Daoistic Cognitive Therapy WU Roujia, LEI Ming Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  693-700.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.007 Abstract ( 363 )   PDF（pc） (605KB) ( 799 )   Save Chinese daoistic cognitive therapy is a localized psychotherapy method developed in recent years. The current studies found that Chinese daoistic cognitive therapy is more in line with the thinking and psychological characteristics of Chinese people and it has certain advantages compared with other therapies, such as good intervention effect and application prospects in the treatment of psychological disorders (anxiety disorders, depression disorders, etc.), physiological diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc.) and psychological distress of the general population (college students, business employees, etc.). However, daoistic cognitive therapy also has deficiencies which need to be further developed and studied in the mechanism of action, the scope of intervention and the normativeness of technology.

A Good Research Method Monograph is the Unity of Method, Theory, and Practice: A Review on the Book “New Advances in Psychological Research Methods” LIU Guofang Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (11):  701-704.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.11.008 Abstract ( 286 )   PDF（pc） (595KB) ( 440 )   Save Research methods are used to solve theoretical and practical problems. So long as the method is suitable for the problem, it is good and appropriate. However, the present psychology has the bias to judge a study by the research method that was used. In general, research that using experimental and advanced statistical methods is more likely to be judged as good. When researchers pay too much attention to the use of “orthodox” and “mainstream” methods, they tend to ignore the real research problems. The book “New Advances in Psychological Research Methods” by Dr. Xin introduces some old but less wellregarded approaches, as well as some other new approaches to psychological research. The introduction of these methods derives from the authors deep introspection on the status of psychology, which shows a coordination and integration of methods, theories, and practices. It can be said that this monograph not only complements our understanding of psychological research methods, but also provides methodological guidance on how to do research. Related Articles | Metrics
