Government Trust Repair after the Unfairness Perception WU Xuqiu, LI Weiqiang, YUAN Bo Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  1-11.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.001 Abstract ( 398 )   PDF（pc） (892KB) ( 405 )   Save Fairness is one of the core social norms of human society, and it plays a decisive role in personal survival and social development. However, it is still unclear which interventions should be taken efficiently to repair the government trust which is damaged by unfair events. Two experiments were used to explore which strategies(silence, apology, commitment, compensation, punishment, and supervision) could effectively restore the government trust after unfair perception. The results indicated that the strategies of punishment and supervision could effectively repair the government trust which was damaged, and reduce perception of unfairness as well as feelings of disappointment and anger. However, the strategies of silence, compensation, apology, and commitment failed to repair the government trust. In conclusion, the present results showed that only two behavioral repair strategies(punishment and supervision) could effectively repair the government trust. The current results provide scientific theory reference for government and institutions to set relevant policies and raising the level of social trust in citizens. Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of Learning Efficacy and Self-Determining Motivation on Academic Expectation: Analysis Based on the Hybrid Modeling MA Xingyang, ZHAO Yufang, LI Yuanfang, YAO Fei, GONG Ningxin Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  12-19.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.002 Abstract ( 488 )   PDF（pc） (763KB) ( 757 )   Save To investigate the role of self-determination motivation in learning efficac’s predicting academic expectation, it is analyzed through a hybrid model. Cluster sampling method was used to select 500 students in the second year of high school from Shandong as participants. The hybrid modeling analysis revealed that the model of learning efficacyself-determination motivation-academic expectation fits well with the data. Students' learning efficacy is positively correlated with self-determination motivation and ultimately positively correlated with  their academic expectation. The self-determined motivation plays a mediating role in the relationship between learning efficacy and academic expectation, but the prediction of academic expectation by nonself-determined motivation is not statistically significant. So the conclusion is: the learning efficacy may promote students' internalization of more autonomous motivation and this self-determined form of motivation makes students have higher academic expectation.

Development of the Endogenous Power Scale for Poverty Elimination WU Na, XIE Zhiyu, FU Anguo Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  20-21.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.003 Abstract ( 455 )   PDF（pc） (699KB) ( 395 )   Save This study aimed to develop the Endogenous Power Scale for Poverty Elimination (EPSPE) and test its validity and reliability. The preliminary stages of the study comprised a literature review, grounded theory, and open questionnaires administered to 412 participants. The results were analyzed, and the questionnaire was revised according to the results of  item analysis, correlation analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. Second, the revised questionnaire was administered to 500 participants, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to the 422 valid questionnaires. The data from these two steps were then used for reliability and validity analysis. The Positive Acceptance and Striving Scale (PASC) and the Orientations to Happiness Scale (OHS) were used to test the criterion validity. The final questionnaire consisted of 20 items along three dimensions: values, self-concept, and behavioral tendency of poverty alleviation, which explained 69.57% of the variance. The results of the CFA showed that the questionnaire fitted the data with good construct validity. The EPSPE scores were positively correlated with the OHS and PASC scores (p<0.01). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total questionnaire was 0.94 and 0.82-0.89 for the three dimensions, while the composite reliability was 0.81-0.89 for the three dimensions. The EPSPE has satisfactory reliability and validity and meets the need of psychometrics, and is suitable for use in both poverty psychology research and poverty alleviation practice.

Validity and Reliability of the Chinese Version of the Over-adaptation Scale in Chinese Undergraduates REN Yujie, ISHIZU Kenichiro Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  30-40.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.004 Abstract ( 435 )   PDF（pc） (676KB) ( 623 )   Save To verify the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Overadaptation Scale (OAS-C) in Chinese university students, 589 (sample 1), 278(sample 2)and 174 (sample 3) students were tested. The validity analysis showed that OAS-C had a 2-factor structure, including excess of external adaptation and lack of internal adaptation. The 2-factor model of OAS-C has acceptable construct validity and significant positive correlations with each validity criterion. The reliability analysis showed that both Cronbachs coefficient and retest reliability coefficients after 2 weeks of OAS-C were in conformity with standards of the psychometrics. Therefore, it can be considered that OAS-C had good internal consistency and temporal stability. Moreover, OAS-C was strictly invariant across genders. These results suggested that OAS-C has good reliability and validity, and it is an effective tool to test the overadaptation in Chinese university students. Related Articles | Metrics

A Rediscussion of the Phenomenon of Psychological Differentiation in China ZHANG Jianxin Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  41-51.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.005 Abstract ( 1161 )   PDF（pc） (687KB) ( 550 )   Save Psychology in China is now undertaking a process of differentiation. Two obvious examples are:(1) Applied and humanistic psychology has become more independent from basic research psychology, and played a more important role in serving people and society in need; (2) a new evaluation criteria of psychological research and service achievements is required to break  the shackles of SCI exclusively. From the perspective of philosophy of science, human knowledge can be roughly divided into reliable (useful) knowledge and illusory knowledge (pseudo-science), and then the reliable knowledge can be further divided into scientific knowledge and nonscientific knowledge. Since its birth, psychology has been motivated by philosophy and science at the same time, which has been leading  the development of scientific psychology and applied and humanistic psychology, respectively. However, peoples understanding of psychology from the West is somewhat biased and incomplete, ignoring the existence of applied and humanistic psychology as a useful knowledge as well as scientific psychology. Scholars have long given all psychology a title of “science”, and evaluated all outcomes of psychology by  the SCI standard in the name of “science”. The differentiation of psychology in China, however is auspicious. It will promote the psychology of our country to break through the limits set by itself, and  psychology  greater room for development. Not only can it  provide psychological knowledge for exploring the unknown psychological world, but also  serve the practical needs of the people in  pursuit of a better life and social governance.

Review and Prospect on the Theories and Influence Factors of the Misinformation Effect WANG Xilei, JIA Ning Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (1):  52-64.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.01.006 Abstract ( 691 )   PDF（pc） (810KB) ( 670 )   Save Memory of the original information is affected by subsequent misinformation and then produces a false memory is known as the misinformation effect. Thus, this article makes a comment on five theories and three types of influence factors about misinformation effect. Next, future research on the misinformation effect is introduced: First, research on the generation mechanism and theory of misinformation. Second, to discuss the age characteristics of misinformation effect and the influence of brain aging. Third, setting up the real situation and the network virtual situation respectively to discuss the generation process of the misinformation effect in different situations. Fourth, the brain mechanism of misinformation effect is explored by using the technology of EEG and Brain imaging, which also provides evidence of cognitive neurobiology for testing theories.
