    This research conducted two studies to discuss the influence of time perspectives (present hedonistic & future time perspective) on healthy food decisions. Study 1 investigated 216 participants with specific questionnaires to measure chronic time perspective and healthy diet habit. The results showed that future time perspective positively predicted individuals healthy diet habit, while present hedonistic time perspective negatively predicted healthy diet habit. Study 2 randomly primed the participants future or present time perspective to test the influence of time perspective on healthy food decisions. The results showed that when future time perspective was induced, individuals were more likely to make healthy food decisions. This research offers new methods and insights to the promotion of healthy food choice.

    AI Juan, JIA Xiyao
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (3):  149-155.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.03.003

    Two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of different types of being moved on altruistic behavior. In the first study, a single factor (types of being moved: landscape/kinship/morals) between-subject design was used to investigate the influence of different types of being moved on altruistic behavior. The results show that compared with the landscape group and the kinship group, moral feelings of being moved can significantly enhance the altruistic behavior tendency. In the second study, 2 (trait empathy level: high/low)×2 (types of being moved: landscape/morals) between-subject design was used to further investigate the joint influence of empathy level and types of being moved on altruistic behavior tendency. The results show that moral feelings of being moved and trait empathy both have significant influence on altruistic behavior tendency. In the case of moral feelings of being moved, the altruistic behavior tendency of individuals with high trait empathy and individuals with low trait empathy both take place significant positive changes, and the altruistic behavior tendency of low trait empathy individuals increased more significantly. In conclusion, moral feelings of being moved has positive effects on altruistic behavior, and the influence of moral feelings of being moved on altruistic behavior of individuals with low empathy level is more significant. In real life, we expect to make full use of the positive social functions of being moved, which reflects the positive value of being moved as a social emotional governance strategy.

    LIANG Fenghua
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (3):  156-163.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.03.004

    Interpersonal conflicts always happen during everyday life, and have been widely explored by researchers. In the past, scholars from all kinds of research fields have put their focus on interpersonal conflict resolution strategies, using concepts developed in west culture. As a Confucian culture, it is widely known that harmony is one of the most important social values cherished by Chinese people. Based on this, some scholars proposed that this specific culture value may influence the considerations when people manage their interpersonal conflict. But few studies have explored the role of harmony in Chinese interpersonal conflict management. This study aims to explore whether Chinese people would prefer to pursue “harmony” or “personal goals” when confronting interpersonal conflicts. In two studies, we examined the preference of individuals pursuing “harmony” or “personal goals” when they were in conflict with others and the effect of socioeconomic status (SES). Results demonstrate that people prefer to pursue harmony when they are in conflicts with others, regardless of their and the other parties SES. Limits and suggestions for future studies are discussed.

    ZHANG Qiuliang
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (3):  164-169.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.03.005

    In order to explore the relationship between mobile phone dependence, loneliness and cognitive failure of  higher vocational students, 673 college students in a vocational college in Hunan province were surveyed by using Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS), UCLA Loneliness Scale and Cognitive Failure Questionnaire. The results showed that: (1) The cognitive failure score of female students was significantly higher than that of male students, and there was no significant difference in cognitive failure among vocational students of different grades. (2) Mobile phone dependence was significantly positively correlated with cognitive failure and loneliness, while loneliness was significantly positively correlated with cognitive failure. (3) Loneliness played a partial mediating role between mobile phone dependence and cognitive failure, with mediating effect accounted for 1703% of the total effects. These results indicated that mobile phone dependence can directly predict cognitive failure, and can also indirectly predict cognitive failure through the mediating effect of loneliness.

    GUO Xiaoxiao, GAO Wen, DONG Chengwen, Xialipa·Aierken
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (3):  170-179.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.03.006
    Abstract ( 406 )   PDF(pc) (771KB) ( 1428 )   Save
    In order to investigate the roles of emotional parentification(providing emotional support to parents) and instrumental parentification(taking on parental responsibilities) between interparental conflict and adolescents problem behaviors, 360 junior school students were recruited to participate in the survey. The results of a multiple mediation model showed that the instrumental parentification could mediate the relationship between interparental conflict and four kinds of problem behaviors, while the mediating role of emotional parentification did not exist. These findings demonstrated that interparental conflict negatively associated with the instrumental parentification, which led to more problem behaviors, whereas positively associated with the emotional parentification, which showed no significant relations with problem behaviors.

    Parent-Child Communication Inconsistency and School Adaptation of Boarding Adolescents: Different Mediation of Two Coping Styles and Its Gender Difference
    SHEN Aowen, GAO Wen, GU Juan, ZHANG Jiaxin, YU Aihui
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (3):  180-192.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.03.007
    Abstract ( 362 )   PDF(pc) (890KB) ( 777 )   Save
    In order to explore the negative impact of parent-child communication inconsistency on boarding adolescents' school adaptation(academic adaptation, social adaptation and mental health), as well as the mediating effects of two coping styles (emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping) and the moderating effect of gender, this study conducted a questionnaire survey among 287 boarding junior high school students. The results showed that, (1) parent-child communication inconsistency had a significant prediction on the three indicators of school adaptation; (2) emotion-focused coping played a negative mediating role between parent-child communication inconsistency and school adaptation, while problem-focused coping played a positive mediating role; (3) parent-child communication incongruency only indirectly affects boys' social adaptation and mental health through emotional coping, which was different to girls. These results indicated that the higher the degree of parent-child communication inconsistency is, the worse the school adaptation of boarding teenagers is; the two coping styles played differents mediating roles, which were greater for girls than boys.
