    A scale of Optimistic Intelligence Quotient(OIQ) for primary and secondary students is established,which consists of four components,the threshold of happiness(B),savoring(C),the ability to inspirit others(D) and the ability to get positive ingredients from negative events(E). Study 1 confirmed its validity and reliability. The results of study 2 demonstrated that OIQ and C gradually increase from the primary to senior high school. Grade 1 of junior high school was the critical period for D and female students were lower in E than male students. Therefore different interventions for these students should be taken into consideration.

There is an interaction between the interpersonal familiarity and the task situation.The simple effect test showed that, in the cooperation condition the trust level of the acquaintance is higher than strangers,and the difference was significant.

    This experiment used different kinds of emotional words as detection, studying the effect of endogenous and exogenous attention on them. The result showed that, in the condition of endogenous clew the reaction time was obviously shorter when the target appeared upside than underside. In the exogenous attention condition, the reaction time was also shorter when the target appeared upside than underside. The negative emotional words reaction time was obviously shorter than the positive word. And the effect of exogenous clew was obvious. This suggested that the influence on the emotional word may be different between endogenous and exogenous attention.
