The results showed that: (1) Total score of sleep quality was negatively correlated with the year, which indicated that old peoples sleep quality level has been improved gradually over the past 17 years; (2) The level of sleep quality of old people ( both women and men) increased significantly over time, and the level of sleep quality of male old people was higher than that of female old people; (3) The increasing trend was more salient with rural old people than with their urban counterparts.

A Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis of Changes in Chinese College Students' Learning Burnout YU Xinyue, YIN Mengyan, ZHAO Yafei, XIN Sufei Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2020, 8 (2):  74-83.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2020.02.002 Abstract ( 547 )   PDF（pc） (884KB) ( 1035 )   Save The present study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of 120 papers using Learning Burnout Scale of College Students (LBSCS) to investigate the changes of Chinese college students learning burnout level (N=55510) from 2005 to 2017. Results showed that: (1) Correlations between learning burnout score and the year of data collection were significantly positive, which suggested that learning burnout level of Chinese college students has been increasing gradually over the past 13 years. (2) The score of learning burnout was negatively correlated with the number of family size, which suggested that the social indicator may be an important factor in predicting college students learning burnout level. (3) The score of learning burnout (both male and female college students) increased significantly over time, and there was no significant gender difference in the score of learning burnout.

Changes in Mental Health Level of Chinese Workers in 1993～2016 LU Wenyu, YU Xinyue, JIANG Wenyuan, XIN Sufei Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2020, 8 (2):  84-94.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2020.02.003 Abstract ( 405 )   PDF（pc） (716KB) ( 443 )   Save To investigate the changes of Chinese workers mental health status, data from 126 papers were analyzed using the cross-temporal meta-analysis. The reporting data were collected from 1993 to 2016 (N=101785), applying the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results showed that: (1) Scores of 9 symptom dimensions of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with the year, which indicated that workers mental health level has been improved gradually over the past 24 years; (2) Correlations between four social indicators (the national consumption level, the per capita disposable income of all residents, the number of people employed in the secondary industry and the number of industrial enterprises above designated size) and scores of these 9 symptom dimensions were significantly negative, which suggested that changes in these social indicators may be key predicting factors for the rise of Chinese workers mental health level; (3) The increasing trend was more salient with female workers than with their male counterparts, however, there were no significant gender differences in their scores of all 9 symptom dimensions of SCL-90; (4) The mental health levels of workers from Eastern regions increased significantly over time, whereas that of workers from other regions has not changed significantly with year.

The changes of these social psychological indexes reflect the impact of social changes on different populations. The negative changes of some of these indicators should be paid enough attention to by governments and relevant departments. Related Articles | Metrics

Empathy and Cyberbullying in College Students: A Chain Mediation Model FU Tingting, LI Peng, YE Ting Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2020, 8 (2):  104-113.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2020.02.005 Abstract ( 1160 )   PDF（pc） (660KB) ( 4325 )   Save An investigation adopting Basic Empathy Scale, Moral Disengagement Scale, College Bullying Behavior Questionnaire, and Cyberbullying Inventory, which collected 1556 students responses in a college is conducted to explore the relations among empathy, moral disengagement, traditional bullying and cyberbullying. The results indicate that: (1) a. The variables of cognitive empathy, traditional bullying and cyberbullying are all significantly negatively correlated. b. Emotional empathy is significantly negatively correlated with the two variables of moral disengagement and cyberbullying, and it has no significant correlation with traditional bullying. c. Moral disengagement is significantly positively correlated with the two variables of traditional bullying and cyberbullying. (2) Cognitive empathy can directly make a negative prediction of cyberbullying, and it can also indirectly make a prediction of cyberbullying in three ways, i. e., the mediating effect of moral disengagement, the mediating effect of traditional bullying, and the chained mediating effect of moral disengagement and traditional bullying. (3) Emotional empathy may also directly make a negative prediction of cyberbullying, and it can also indirectly make a prediction of cyberbullying in two ways, i. e., the mediating effect of moral disengagement, and the chained mediating effect of moral disengagement and traditional bullying. On the basis of the Cues Filtered-out theory and the General Attack Model of cyberbullying, the study incorporates the factor of personal experience of traditional bullying, attempting to reveal the mechanism of cyberbullying.

The Influence of Natural Anthropomorphism on Green Consumption ZHANG Chao, MA Xi, JIN Xingxing Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2020, 8 (2):  114-120.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2020.02.006 Abstract ( 481 )   PDF（pc） (601KB) ( 952 )   Save In order to explore the influence of natural anthropomorphism on green consumption and examine the mediating mechanism of natural connectedness, we conducted three experiments. Firstly, the influence of natural anthropomorphic on green consumption in positive situation is studied (experiment 1). Then, the influence of natural anthropomorphic on green consumption in negative situation is studied (experiment 2). Finally, the mediating effect of natural connectedness was verified by changing the manipulation of natural anthropomorphism and performing mediation analysis (experiment 3). The results showed that: (1) Natural anthropomorphism can promote green consumption (2) Natural connectedness plays a mediating role between natural anthropomorphism and green consumption.

Relational SelfEsteem: Concept, Measurement and Implications LIU Fang, DU Hongfei Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2020, 8 (2):  121-128.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2020.02.007 Abstract ( 776 )   PDF（pc） (634KB) ( 620 )   Save Based on different self-concepts, self-esteem can be distinguished as personal self-esteem, relational self-esteem and collective self-esteem. Previous studies have mainly focused on personal self-esteem and collective self-esteem; however, in recent years, relational self-esteem has emerged as a research line. Relational self-esteem refers to a sense of self-worth that one can derive from his/her relationships with important others (family and friends) and its concept and mechanisms are different from personal and collective self-esteem. The scholars mainly focus on three lines of research on relational self-esteem: the development of the concept, the measurement, and the theoretical implications. On the basis of theoretical supposition and empirical evidence on relational self-esteem, we propose in the future, the researchers need to pay more attention to three research directions, including development process of relational self-esteem, cultural differences between east and west in relational self-esteem, and the relative important roles of family and friends in relational self-esteem.
