The Influence of Self-construal and Empathy on College Students’ Sense of Social Responsibility ZHANG Qiuting, YIN Bin Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  321-335.  Abstract ( 390 )   PDF（pc） (1053KB) ( 1682 )   Save It is of great significance to explore the impact of self-construal and empathy on the sense of social responsibility for understanding culturally different individuals and cultivating talents in specific cultural contexts. Study 1 used a questionnaire survey to investigate the relationship among the three variables among college students. The results were as follows: (1) There were significant positive correlations among independent self, interdependent self, empathy and the sense of social responsibility; (2) independent self, interdependent self and empathy could significantly predict the sense of social responsibility. Study 2 used a 2 (self-construal: independent self / interdependent self) by 2 (empathy levels: high / low) between-subjects design, manipulated the self-construal through a situation-primed survey experiment, and grouped the subjects with high or low empathy levels according to their scores of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index – C (IRI-C). The results of ANOVA showed that: (1) the main effect of self-construal was significant; (2) the main effect of empathy was not significant; (3) the interaction effect between self-construal and empathy was significant; (4) with the interdependent-self priming, the sense of social responsibility of the high empathy group was significantly higher than that of the low empathy group, while with the independent-self priming, there was no significant difference between the high empathy group and the low empathy group. Therefore, interdependent self and empathy have a positive impact on the sense of social responsibility. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on the Influencing Factors of Cognitive Load of Spatial Location Memory in Virtual Learning Environment ZHANG Lingyan, ZHUO Duotao, LIN Weiting, WU Tiansheng, CHEN Lijun Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  336-346.  Abstract ( 221 )   PDF（pc） (1459KB) ( 1121 )   Save Multisensory integrated virtual space has the characteristics of high immersion and sense of reality. But the abundance of stimulus may also bring cognition overload to the learners. In the present study, the influence of sub-sensory channel, space location number and presentation time on cognitive load were examined, using dual task paradigm. The results showed that (1) Information presented by tactile channel reduced subjective cognitive load when the task difficulty was high. (2) With the increase of the number of processing spatial position, the subjective cognitive load (psychological effort and task difficulty evaluation) enhanced. (3) 0.7s was a relative long enough duration for learners to process sub-tasks after main task processing. The findings suggest that cross channel advantage can be used to improve processing efficiency in virtual space; the number of processing objects in virtual space should not be more than 4; at least 0.7s should be arranged to guarantee VR learning effect.

You Get What You Pay For? The Influence of Subjective Socioeconomic Status and Product Type on Price-quality Effect LIU Yaqian, DUAN Yujia, ZHAO Na Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  347-356.  Abstract ( 184 )   PDF（pc） (1267KB) ( 1333 )   Save In recent years, more and more studies have explored price-quality effect from different perspectives. In this paper, the influence of subjective socioeconomic status (SSES) on price-quality effect is explored through three studies. Study 1 conducted a questionnaire survey of 299 participants, and found that SSES significantly positively predicted price-quality effect. Study 2 adopted the method of behavioral experiment, and people with high subjective socioeconomic status were found to be more likely to judge the quality of goods by price. Study 3 further adopted the method of behavioral experiment to explore the moderating effect of product type between SSES and price-quality effect, and it was found that the relationship between SSES and price-quality effect is different for different types of products. The research has a theoretical supplement to the previous research on price quality effect, and at the practical level, on the one hand, for merchants, the pricing and marketing strategies of merchants can be improved to make them more targeted; On the other hand, it helps remind consumers to pay attention to other clues, shop around, and make more rational decisions.

The Impact of Advice Distance and Advisor’s Emotional Expression on Advice Taking REN Yubing Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  357-365.  Abstract ( 168 )   PDF（pc） (1139KB) ( 355 )   Save Based on the emotions as social information theory, using Judge–Advisor System (JAS) paradigm and distance estimation task, we investigated how decision makers evaluated the different distant advice that different emotional expressional advisors provided by two experiments. The Experiment 1 found that there was an inversely U–shaped relationship between advice distance and advice taking, however, in Experiment 2, when facing happy expressional advisor, an inversely U–shaped pattern of advice distance and advice taking. When facing angry expressional advisor, there was a monotone negative relation of advice distance and advice taking. Thus, our findings suggest that advisor’s emotional expression could change the pattern of advice distance and advice taking. Related Articles | Metrics

The Relationship between Subjective Social Class and Redistribution preference: The Moderating Effect of Mental Accounting WU Feng, ZHAO Yufang, LI Weiqiang Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  366-375.  Abstract ( 198 )   PDF（pc） (1221KB) ( 918 )   Save Researches under Western culture had initially demonstrated the relationship between social class and redistribution preference, charitable giving and other related behaviors. However, China culture has its own unique understanding of righteousness and interests. The relationship between social class and redistribution preference and its potential mechanisms should be explored by empirical research. Through three studies, this paper examines the influence of subjective social class and mental account on redistribution preference. Based on statistical analysis in the CGSS2017, Study 1 initially found that subjective social class negatively predicted redistribution intentions; Study 2 repeatedly verified the result via questionnaire survey Research; Study 3, by manipulating subjective social class and mental accounting through a remote association test, demonstrated that subjective social class negatively predicted redistribution preference and mental accounting moderated the relationship between them. The results of this study are important for understanding social redistribution and its potential mental mechanisms. Related Articles | Metrics

Online Measures of Individual Differences in Statistical Learning Study LIU Qi, LU Zhanglong Psychology: Techniques and Application. 2023, 11 (6):  376-384.  Abstract ( 138 )   PDF（pc） (1160KB) ( 915 )   Save Statistical learning is a process of detecting the statistical regularities such as transitional probability in continuous flow of stimuli. In recent years, individual differences in statistical learning have become a hot topic of research, but the task and the offline test method used in the study of individual differences in statistical learning had limitation, which reduced the reliability of statistical learning ability tests. Future research should further deepen theories of statistical learning, and use online measures such as reaction time, eye movement, and event-related potentials to establish a statistical learning ability test with higher reliability and validity.
