The Association Between Family Financial Management Education and Conspicuous Consumption in College Students XU Lei, ZHOU Zhihao, PENG Shun, CAI Shuangshuang, CHEN Jiwen, LU Zhaoxizi Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  385-394.  Abstract ( 353 )   PDF（pc） (688KB) ( 971 )   Save To explore the relationship between family financial education and conspicuous consumption in college students, with focus on the mediating role of materialism and the moderating role of self-control, 750 college students by handy sampling method were surveyed. The results showed that: (1) Family financial education negatively predicted conspicuous consumption of college students; (2) Materialism played a partial mediating role between family financial education and conspicuous consumption; (3) Self-control moderated the second half of the path, that is, the relationship between materialism and college students' conspicuous consumption was moderated by self-control. These results are helpful to reduce college students' conspicuous consumption behavior. Related Articles | Metrics

The Determiners of Environmental Sounds Naming CHEN Zhu, LI Bingbing Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  395-406.  Abstract ( 216 )   PDF（pc） (882KB) ( 547 )   Save In the present study, we measured the H value (uncertainty of naming), concept agreement (naming accuracy), name agreement and naming latency for a set of 120 environmental sounds in Mandarin Chinese through an environmental sound naming experiment. We also provided normative data along multiple cognitive and affective variable dimensions for these sounds. These dimensions include familiarity, representativeness, confidence, arousal, pleasure and imaginability. Two key factors influencing the naming of environmental sounds were identified through factor analysis. The similarities and differences of environmental sounds were distinguished by K-means cluster analysis, and an effective classification model was established. The results of this study can provide valuable information for experiments from cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience studies using environmental sound as experimental materials.

The Influence of Insecure Attachment on Academic Procrastination: The Mediating Role of Perfectionism and Rumination LIU Yan, LIU Zhihong , DUAN Huizhen , CHEN Gongxiang , LIU Wenjuan Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  407-414.  Abstract ( 416 )   PDF（pc） (659KB) ( 1243 )   Save The aim of the present study was to improve the understanding of the mechanism of insecure attachment influencing academic procrastination and provide empirical support for the intervention of academic procrastination among college students. This study explored the relationship between insecure attachment and academic procrastination, and the chain mediating mechanism of perfectionism and rumination. A sample of 522 college students was recruited to complete Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory, Chinese Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale, and the Academic Procrastination Scale. The results indicated that: Insecure attachment had a positive predictive effect on academic procrastination, which was mainly realized by the single mediating effect of rumination and the chain mediating effect of perfectionism-rumination. This study explained the relationship between insecure attachment and academic procrastination and its internal mechanism, enriching the research on perfectionism and rumination.

Influence of Emotion and Style of Information Presentation on Intention and Attitude Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Zhang Hui, Wang Bo Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  415-428.  Abstract ( 420 )   PDF（pc） (853KB) ( 894 )   Save This study examined the joint effects of information format and emotions on intention to receive and attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination. Experiment 1 showed that both narrative and non-narrative information enhanced vaccination intention and attitude, regardless of whether participants were in a neutral, happy, or angry state. Experiment 2, in which richer information was used, showed that, regardless of emotional state, both narrative and non-narrative information enhanced intention to receive vaccination; narrative information enhanced attitude towards vaccination, but non-narrative information did not have a significant effect. This study suggests that both narrative and non-narrative information can be effective in increasing the intention to receive COVID-19 vaccination, independent of individuals' emotional state. However, it may be more advantageous to employ richer narrative information to bolster the attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination. Related Articles | Metrics

Modifying the Love and Care for Nature Scale for Chinese Children WU Lingqiong, LI Jiaqi, ZHU Yan Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  429-436.  Abstract ( 281 )   PDF（pc） (633KB) ( 1054 )   Save The present study modified Perkins’ (2010) Love and Care for Nature Scale for use with Chinese children. A preliminary survey was administered for item analysis among 313 urban children, which followed by the formal survey for reliability and validity analyses among 464 urban children. The modified Chinese version of Love and Care for Nature Scale contained 13 items. The results of reliability and validity analyses showed that the revised Chinese version of the scale was unidimensional with acceptable internal consistency and test-rest reliability. In addition, the revised version of Love and Care for Nature Scale was significantly and positively correlated with the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and the Nature Experience Scales. To conclude, the structural validity and criterion-related validity of the revised Chinese version of Love and Care for Nature Scale is in accordance with the basic psychometric standard. The revised scale can be used as a suitable instrument for measuring emotional connection with nature among Chinese children (9 ~ 13 years old). Related Articles | Metrics

Orchid Children, Dandelion Children or Tulip Children? The Interactive effects of Neurobiological Characteristics and Environmental Conditions on Children Developmental Trajectories WANG Yan, SUN Xinyun, CHEN Jinzhi, JI Zouhui Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2022, 10 (7):  437-448.  Abstract ( 413 )   PDF（pc） (786KB) ( 1375 )   Save Amounts of studies have demonstrated that environmental and biological variables could influence children’s development interactively during recent years. This article introduces the influential theories in this field, which include the Diathesis–Stress Model, the Transactional / Dual Risk Model, Biological Sensitivity To Context Theory, Differential Susceptibility Theory and Vantage Sensitivity Hypothesis. Similarities and differences among these models are explained. Empirical evidences in the related fields, which are classified into three fields: endophenotypic attributes, phenotypic temperamental characteristics and specific genes, are provided. Educational implications of the theoretical progress are discussed in the final part. Related Articles | Metrics
