    There has been a controversial debate about the relationship between music learning and phonological awareness. A meta-analysis was conducted to explore the reasons for various conclusions about the relationship between music learning and phonological awareness. Through literature retrieval, 31 studies consisting of 134 independent effect sizes (N = 1909) were included. Our results found that there was a moderate positive correlation between music learning and phonological awareness (r=0.37). Furthermore, the moderating effect analysis showed that the relationship between the music learning and phonological awareness was regulated by music learning time and publication time, while not being affected by the subjects age, phonological awareness components and musical learning methods. And the results provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for how to improve phonological awareness in music learning.

    A meta–analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between analytic thinking and the perception of misinformation.There were 28 documents and 53 independent samples in total meet the criteria of meta–analysis. The correlation coefficients between individual analytical thinking and the three outcome indicators of misinformation perception, belief in misinformation, truth discernment and sharing willingness were calculated respectively. The results indicated that there were statistically significant positive relationships between analytic thinking and truth discernment. The correlation coefficients were statistically significant negative for the other two indicators. The results provided evidence for the dual–process theory. Future research should standardize the experimental manipulation paradigm of analytical thinking and explore the cognitive mechanism of different outcome indicators.

    To investigate the mediating role of three types of parent-child triangulations and the moderating role of cognitive reappraisal between interparental conflict and adolescents’ depressive symptoms, this study surveyed 661 high school students with Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC), The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Parent-child Triangulations Scale and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The results showed, (1) only one type of parent-child triangulations, scapegoating, had a partial mediating effect between parental conflict and adolescents’ depressive symptoms, while the cross-generational alliance and parentification did not; (2) cognitive reappraisal had a moderating effect on the relationship between scapegoating and adolescents’ depressive symptoms. The results revealed the internal psychological mechanism of interparental conflict affecting adolescents’ depressive symptoms, which is beneficial to the intervention of depression.

The scale consisted of 11 items, and the exploratory factor analysis produced 3 factors including meaningless, help-Seeking Inhibition and shame, which accumulatively explained the variance of total variance by 73.01%. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-factor model fit the data well. Internal consistency reliability of total scale and Three factors ranged from 0.78~0.92, and test-retest reliability ranged from 0.72~0.84. All in all, the revised SSDS  is reliable, valid, and suitable for measuring depression self-stigma in this group.
