The dependent variables were divided into one of three categories: variables of self-interest orientation (i. e. material values); variables of social orientation which contained wealth values, financial ethics values, willingness of relationship investment, willingness of donating, and general trust; and neutral variables such as free-market ideology and subjective well-being. The results showed that (1) the two dimensions of homo economicus belief, i. e. selfishness and rationality, were relatively independent; (2) men exhibited higher levels of selfishness and rationality than women, and higher levels of education were associated with lower levels of selfishness; (3) there were differences in the predictive validities of selfishness and rationality, for example, both selfishness and rationality positively predicting material values, and selfishness negatively predicting all variables of social orientation; (4) a cluster analysis of participants responses in the scale of homo economicus revealed that participants exhibited one of three classes: warm homo economicus (low in selfishness and high in rationality), moderate homo economicus (moderate in both selfishness and rationality), or cold homo economicus (high in both selfishness and rationality).

A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the reasons for various conclusions about the relationship between rumination and social anxiety. A total of 53 independent samples from 42 studies, consisting of 23032 subjects, were involved in this study, which included 8 domestic thesis and 34 thesis in English from abroad. Our results found that the ruminant was highly correlated positively with social anxiety (r=0.42). Furthermore, the moderating effect analysis showed that the relationship between the ruminant and social anxiety was regulated by age and the ruminant and the social anxiety scales used, while not being affected by the study design or the cultural backgrounds of the samples.
