    This meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relation between self-esteem and prosocial behavior because the inconsistent results of previous studies. Through literature retrieval, 28 cases and 35 independent effect sizes together with 15715 participants which met the inclusion criteria of meta-analysis were selected. Heterogeneity test indicated that random effects model was appropriate for the study. Main-effect test findings demonstrated that self-esteem was significantly associated with prosocial behavior (r=0.32). Further moderation analysis revealed that the association between self-esteem and prosocial behavior was moderated by measurement tools of self-esteem and prosocial behavior, participates' age, but not by the type of culture background and gender.

    Based on the selfregulation model, the purpose of this paper is to further explore the influencing factors of choice deferral. This study takes 132 college students as subjects and uses experiment and questionnaire to explore whether anticipated regret mediates the relationship between regulatory mode and choice deferral, and whether social reference point moderates this relation. The results showed that: (1) Individuals with different regulatory modes had different preferences on choice deferral. Specifically, compared to locomotion mode, participants with assessment mode were more inclined to defer their choices. (2) Anticipated regret mediated the relationship between regulatory mode and choice deferral. (3) Social reference points moderated the relationship between regulatory mode and anticipated regret. Specifically, in the downward reference point condition, individuals with locomotion mode experienced less anticipated regret, while in the upward reference point condition, both individuals with locomotion mode and assessment mode all experienced more anticipated regret. Moreover, social reference points also moderated the mediating effect of anticipated regret.

    Mediating Effect of Depression on Relationship Between Expressive Suppression and Social Adaptation of Community Correction Offenders
    ZHOU Minghui, LIN Guoyao, PENG Yuling, DONG Chanxia
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (8):  470-476.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.08.003

    To explore the relationship between depression, emotion regulation and social adaption community correction offenders. A sample of 269 subjects in Fujian Province were investigated with Person At Reeducation-center Social Adaption Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Patient Health Questionnaire 9. The results indicated that: (1) The social adaptation of community correction workers aged 25-40 was higher than that of those aged over 40, social adaptation scores were higher in female than in male community correction offenders, and the social adaptation scores of community correction offenders with average economy were higher than that of community correction offenders with poor economy. There was no significant difference in social adaptation among the married, unmarried and divorced community correction personnel. (2) Expressive suppression is significantly negatively correlated with Depression, expressive suppression is significantly positively social adaptation, and depression is significantly negatively social adaptation. (3) Depression play a partial mediating role between the expressive suppression and social adaptation of community correction offenders.

    The Effect of Physiological Feedback on Music Emotion Response
    WANG Jialing, WANG Jiali, WANG Huarong, PAN Fada
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (8):  477-483.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.08.004

    The goal of the current study was to explore the effects of different physiological feedback on music emotion by subjective emotion selfassessment and physiological indexes. Results showed: (1) In the real feedback experiments, the subjective emotion, respiration and heart rate with physiological feedback were higher than those without physiological feedback (2) In the simulation feedback experiment, the subjective emotion and heart rate with physiological feedback were higher than those without physiological feedback; in the positive music, the positive emotion effect induced by feedback is greater. The above two experiments showed that physiological feedback could enhance the inducing effect of positive music emotion; Positive music induced stronger emotional experience.

    Incorporating Covariates Information in Polytomous Responses Cognitive Diagnosis Model
    ZHOU Wenjie, GUO Lei
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (8):  484-494.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.08.005

    Covariates play an important role in psychological and educational studies, which can be used as control variables or regulatory factors in modelling. A few studies involve covariates information in Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs). However, these studies have some issues that need to be solved. First, the current covariate extension models cannot analyze these polytomous responses. Second, the category covariates included in these studies are only dichotomous variables (such as gender). It cannot handle multi-category covariate information, such as grade and family socioeconomic status.
    This paper proposed the GPDM-C (The covariate extension of General polytomous diagnosis model) that incorporates both continuous and multi-category covariates in the polytomous response cognitive diagnosis framework. For simplicity, the saturated GPDM-C model was constrained as a reduced model, named the GPDINA-C model. MCMC algorithm was implemented in JAGS software to complete parameter estimation.
    In order to evaluate the parameter estimation accuracy of the GPDINA-C model, showing the advantages of incorporatingcovariates in the polytomous responses model, three factors (item quality, test length, and covariates effect size) were considered in a simulation study. The results indicated that: (1) The MCMC algorithm can accurately estimate all GPDINA-C model parameters. (2) Both person parameters and structure parameters recovery of GPDINA-C outperform the recovery of GPDINA.
    Finally, an empirical research is applied to examine the performance of the GPDINA-C model in practice. The results indicate that GPDINA-C hada smaller DIC value than the GPDINA model did, which manifests that the GPDINA-C had a better fit for this empirical data. Furthermore, the covariates parameters of the GPDINA-C can infer the influence of covariates on attribute mastery objectively.

    Case Conceptualization: Development, Predicament and Integration Model
    CHEN Feihu, ZHAO Guangping
    Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2021, 9 (8):  495-503.  DOI: 10.16842/j.cnki.issn2095-5588.2021.08.006

    Case conceptualization is the best explanation and theoretical assumption based on the information extracted from client and their problems, and it guides the practical process of psychological counseling. It is not only the core comprehensive ability of psychological counselors, but it is also an indispensable part of the psychological counseling process. However, based on specific diagnoses or psychological schools, it has fallen into the predicament where high importance is placed on the counselors professional certification but low utilization of clinical counseling. Meanwhile, the conceptual framework of cases conceptualization can be clarified from the perspective of integration through the introduction and comparison of existing integration models. Among them, the Integration Evidence-Based Model is systematic, scientific, simple, personalized, and flexible, which greatly improves the applicability and practicability of case conceptualization in clinical psychological practice.

    A large number of studies have confirmed that people with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) are special at facial expression processing. This article reviews the latest research about the specificity of facial expression processing in ASD patients, and believes that the specificity of facial expression processing in ASD patients may be affected by factors such as the intensity of facial expressions, the ways of presenting facial expressions, and the individual differences of ASD patients, and it is explained by the face fixation pattern and its physiological mechanism of ASD patients. Future research can further explore the internal mechanism of facial expression processing in ASD patients from the perspective of the development process of social information processing ability of ASD patients and the individual differences within ASD patients.
