Friend-or-Foe Attitude and Usage Intention of Consumers to Different Shapes of Artificial Intelligence Nursing Products: The Role of Speciesism FU Xinyuan, FU Ruoran, ZHAI Ruoyu, DU Xiaona, YANG Handi, LI Jiapeng Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (6):  321-329.  Abstract ( 412 )   PDF（pc） (730KB) ( 932 )   Save Artificial intelligence nursing products are becoming an effective contributor to “actively response to the aging of population”. Consumers’ friend-or-foe attitude toward and usage intention to artificial intelligence nursing products of different shapes (robot dog vs. humanoid robot) will effectively influence the promotion of “smart aging”. This study explored the role of speciesism in participants’ friend-or-foe attitude towards and usage intention to robot dogs and humanoid robots. The results based on 436 validated questionnaires showed that, in terms of friend-or-foe attitude, consumers with higher speciesism viewed the artificial intelligence nursing products as both friends and foes, while those consumers with lower speciesism viewed the nursing products more as friends than foes. In terms of usage intention, consumers with higher speciesism were more likely to use artificial intelligence nursing products. Consumers were generally more reluctant to use robot dogs than humanoid robots, and this was especially true for those consumers with lower speciesism. Related Articles | Metrics

Participants were asked to complete a self-designed perinatal information questionnaire, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Vulnerable Personality Style Questionnaire (VPSQ) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The prediction model of social-psychological factors of PPD was developed using hierarchical logistic regression. Results of the study indicate that (1) The detection rate of PPD symptoms is 26.03% in Tianjin.

The Relationship between Childhood Psychological Maltreatment and College Students’ Depression: The Mediating Role of Intrusive Rumination and The Moderating Effect of Connectedness to Nature DAI Wenwu, LI Zhaolan, JIA Ning Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (6):  341-349,359.  Abstract ( 417 )   PDF（pc） (1085KB) ( 791 )   Save The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and depression, as well as its internal mechanism—the mediating role of intrusive rumination and the moderating effect of connectedness to nature. A total of 455 college students were investigated by childhood psychological maltreatment questionnaire, the event related rumination inventory, the connectedness to nature scale and the depression scale. The results showed that:(1) When gender were controlled, intrusive rumination played a partial mediating role in the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and depression; (2)The relationship between intrusive rumination and depression was moderated by connectedness to nature. The results uncovered the relationship and underlying mechanism between childhood psychological maltreatment and depression. Related Articles | Metrics

A Meta-analysis on Judgments of Learning Changing Memory Performance XU Duhong, LAI Jiafan, MU Shoukuan Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (6):  349-359.  Abstract ( 253 )   PDF（pc） (747KB) ( 395 )   Save Judgments of Learning is a predictive estimation of individual confidence in recent learning content in future tests. It is a commonly used method to evaluate individual metacognitive ability in memory research. However, judgments of learning may change the memory performance, positively or negatively, which can be called as reactivity of judgment of learning. Prior studies showed little consensus on the existing and direction of the effect. We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the effect of judgment of learning on memory performance. The results indicated that judgment of learning have a positive effect on memory performance (Hedges’g=0.22). Sub-group analysis revealed that the reactivity of judgment of learning was moderated by types of stimuli and learning times. In addition, there was no moderate effect on test types. This result indicated individual’s memory will be of beneficial to making judgment of learning. Related Articles | Metrics

The Influence of Economic Inequality on Mental Health and Its Mechanisms HUANG Yajing, XING Qiang, DU Hongfei Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (6):  360-371.  Abstract ( 446 )   PDF（pc） (756KB) ( 1215 )   Save The question of whether economic inequality affects mental health has been controversial. In this paper, we propose a theoretical model of economic inequality affecting mental health. Based on the theoretical model, this paper discusses the boundary conditions (objective socioeconomic status, subjective socioeconomic status, perception of social mobility, and mental health dimensions) that influence the relationship between economic inequality and mental health, and the psychological mechanisms (social comparison, status anxiety, trust, social relation, and perception of unfairness) underlying the relationship between economic inequality and mental health. Future research needs to systematically examine the moderators and mediators of the relationship between economic inequality and mental health and focus on the impact of perception of economic inequality on mental health. Promoting theoretical and empirical exploration in this area can provide practical implications in psychology for achieving the great vision of common prosperity and improving the mental health of Chinese residents.

The Motives of Self-sacrifice in Intimate Relationships and Its Positive Effects BAI Jing, LI Lin, SONG Xiaoqing, SONG Jingjing Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (6):  372-384.  Abstract ( 592 )   PDF（pc） (829KB) ( 991 )   Save Self-sacrifice in intimate relationships refers to the behavior of giving up personal interests in order to promote the partner’s or relationship’s satisfaction. Self-sacrifice in intimate relationships is influenced by relationship-orientation and personal characteristics. Individuals with relationship-orientation such as high commitment, communal orientation, and interdependent self-construal are more likely to make self-sacrifice, while the relationship between self-sacrifice behavior and personal characteristics of power, self-control, self-esteem has contradictory results. We formulated self-sacrifice motives model to explain when self-sacrifice occurs from the comparison of personal interest, partner interest and relationship interest. We analyzed the positive effects of self-sacrifice and the conditions that produce positive effects.Relationship orientation, the motivation of sacrifice, the perception of sacrifice, and the way of dealing with negative emotions are the key factors to determine whether self-sacrifice has positive effects. In addition, we formulated a self-sacrifice dual-process model to explain when the self-sacrifice behavior has positive effects from perspectives of self-sacrificial motivation and partner’s feedback.
