The Choice of a Generation: Perceiving the Group as TransGenerational and Endurance of Ingroup Suffering YAN Lei, WU Bowen, YANG Linchuan, ZHANG Yanhong, WU Yang Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  705-713.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.001 Abstract ( 345 )   PDF（pc） (609KB) ( 503 )   Save From the perspective of Social Identity Theory, we tested the serial mediation of national identification and primacy of group interest (PoINT) in the link between transgenerational group (TG) perception and endurance of ingroup suffering. Specifically, in the present study, 535 college students were recruited to finish the Transgenerational Group Perception Scale, the Endurance of Ingroup Suffering Scale, the National Identity Scale and the Primacy of Interest Scale. The results showed that: (1) TG perception, endurance of ingroup suffering, national identification and PoINT were significantly intercorrelated; (2) national identification mediated the association between TG perception and endurance of ingroup suffering; (3) PoINT mediated the association between TG perception and endurance of ingroup suffering; and (4) national identification and PoINT serially mediated the association between TG perception and endurance of ingroup suffering. The present research, in further clarifying the mechanism through which peoples TG perception could be translated into a greater endurance of group suffering, provided insights about the relationship between transtemporal ingroup perception and ingroup sacrificial behaviors.

Parents' Implicit Attitudes Toward Emotional Word Associations and Their Relationship to Empathic Forecasting: Findings based on the Implicit Association Test (IAT) ZHANG Ying, BIAN Yufang Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  714-722.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.002 Abstract ( 324 )   PDF（pc） (592KB) ( 523 )   Save This study conducted two experiments using the implicit association test to explore that parents implicit attitude about their child are uniquely associated with emotion, and further its relationship with emotional prediction. Implicit attitudes (assessed by the IAT) must be associated with parenting above and beyond any associations with explicit attitudes. The first experiment explored parents implicit attitude toward their child and emotional words association. The results revealed that compared with others children, parents response time toward their own child and association with positive emotional words was shorter, indicating that parents have an implicit attitude toward their own child and positive emotional association. The second experiment randomly divided parents into two groups, i.e., one high and one low cognitive pressure group, and compared whether there existed any difference in the role of implicit attitude on the emotional prediction in a negative emotional context as they differed in implicit attitude. The results showed that the group of parents who mainly relied on implicit attitude got a significant low score in their prediction of their childs negative emotions as compared with those who didnt, indicating that parents in the former group were insufficient in processing of situational information, and as a result, got predictive scores consistent with their implicit attitude. This study shows that whether parents mainly rely on their implicit attitude toward their child and emotional word association will influence the level of their prediction of the childs emotions.

The Influence of Emotional Labor and Psychological Capital on Work Engagement: SolutionFocused Intervention Study SI Qing, MU Yihan, LIU Zhe, ZHAO Ran Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  723-734.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.003 Abstract ( 460 )   PDF（pc） (666KB) ( 563 )   Save To investigate the impact of emotional labour on work engagement and whether psychological capital can influence their relationship, 193 employees have been recruited to complete a questionnaire for this study. Using Work Engagement Scale, Emotional Labour Scale and Psychological Capital Scale, it is found that work engagement can be predicted by emotional labour, while psychological capital mediates the relationship between emotional labours expression of naturally felt emotions dimension and work engagement, as individuals with stronger psychological capital can maintain work engagement at relatively stable and high level even with lower scoring in expression of naturally felt emotions. Based on these findings, a solution focused coaching intervention to enhance emotional labour and psychological capital has been conducted with 34 employees in a foreigncapital enterprise. After three sessions, participants scorings in both optimism dimension of psychological capital and work engagement have been significantly improved while emotional labour shows no significant change, indicating that a solution focused coaching approach can improve employees mental status and work performance effectively through short-term intervention.

A Daily Diary Study of Mindfulness, Body Image, and Restrained Eating Behavior in Female Restrained Eaters ZHENG Wenqian, PAN Kang, CHEN Yunyun, SONG Guoping Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  735-745.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.004 Abstract ( 498 )   PDF（pc） (687KB) ( 518 )   Save The present study explores the mediating role of body image on the relationship between mindfulness (state and trait) and restricted eating behavior. Based on a six-day questionnaire survey of 65 female restrictive eaters, the effects of state and trait mindfulness on body image and restrictive eating behavior are analyzed at the within-person and between-person levels. The results show that: (1) state and trait mindfulness are significantly positively correlated with body image, whereas they have a significantly negative correlation with restrained eating behavior. (2) state and trait mindfulness can significantly negatively predict restrained eating behavior. (3) body image can be a full mediator on the relationship between state mindfulness and restrained eating behavior in within-person level. These results show that the restrained eaters with a higher level of daily mindfulness can be more satisfied with their bodies, so have fewer restrained eating behaviors. Related Articles | Metrics

Development, Revision and Application of Metacognitive Questionnaire (MCQ) for Anxiety Disorder WANG Xiaoling, JIA Ning Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  746-755.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.005 Abstract ( 330 )   PDF（pc） (702KB) ( 516 )   Save Wells and his colleagues have studied the Meta-Cognition Questionnaire (MCQ) from a cognitivism perspective, which measures emotional disorders involved in the intrusive thoughts following the conceptual analysis offered by the Self-Regulatory Executive Function (S-REF) model and the cognitive model of Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD). The MCQ shows good psychometric properties of reliability and validity, which has been widely implicated and discussed. This paper was intended to show the theoretical mechanisms, development, and revisions. Finally, the research of MCQ was summarized and prospected. Related Articles | Metrics

Advantages and Limitations of Female Staff in Organizational Behavior XIAO Kaiwen, DUAN Jinyun, TIAN Xiaoming Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2019, 7 (12):  756-768.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2019.12.006 Abstract ( 347 )   PDF（pc） (663KB) ( 569 )   Save As more female labor forces are entering the workplace worldwide, increasing number of studies, both home and abroad, are now focusing on the impact of female workers on various behaviors in the workplace. The advantages of women staff are that they can contribute to improve the long-term performance of enterprises, serve as an active role of social networks, and restrict themselves from immoral behavior. In terms of limitations, female leaders are not conducive to short-term corporate performance, and will suffer lower pay than their male counterparts and more impolite working behavior from others. These phenomena can be attributed to one reason which is the gender stereotype and discrimination caused by the construct of social gender. The paper identifies the advantages and limitations of female employees of organizational behavior in various aspects by systematically summarizing the research in recent years, providing a broader horizon for gender diversity, clarifying the theoretical basis and mechanism of action, and pointing out the direction for follow-up researches.
