Abstract： Bayesian and predictive coding theories have been instrumental in elucidating sensory processing aberrations observed in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, these theories have sparked considerable debate within the scientific community. In this paper, we focus on non-social visual information, presenting a comprehensive examination of theoretical nuances and consolidating empirical evidence across three key dimensions: Bayesian inference, predictive coding processes, and predictive coding precision. Generally, hypo-priors and sharper likelihood hypothesis based on Bayesian inference merely provide descriptive insights into visual processing abnormalities associated with ASD. While perspectives emphasizing the predictive coding process enhance the specificity of visual processing aberrations, they fall short of offering a fully explanatory framework. On the other hand, hypotheses centered on predictive coding precision provide theoretical foundations, yet require further refinement of the theoretical details and their validity necessitates testing through refined empirical studies. Future research should generalize the specificity of predictive processing in ASD, test the theoretical content from the perspective of subjective experience of ASD, and examine the changes of predictive functioning in the growth of ASD through a developmental perspective.

Abstract： Intervening in the proliferation of health rumors presents a significant challenge in the era of social media. This paper delves into the multifaceted aspects of health rumor dynamics, identifying driving factors at the intersection of information and information processing entities. Utilizing the Information Lifecycle Theory, we delineate this phenomenon into three distinct stages: generation, evaluation, and dissemination. A systematic exploration of intervention strategies is undertaken across these stages. During the generation phase, a preventative approach takes precedence, emphasizing activities such as instilling psychological resilience in the public and enhancing individual health literacy. Shifting to the evaluation stage, the focus sharpens on individual agency, with particular attention to information accuracy and the promotion of analytical processing. In the dissemination phase, precision in debunking is achieved through bolstering the credibility of refutation information, effectively employing refutation texts, and regulating individual emotional states. Future research endeavors are encouraged to further innovate intervention strategies under the framework of the information lifecycle. This involves a meticulous examination of refined intervention methods tailored to diverse rumor types and susceptible populations. Additionally, emphasis is placed on the synthesis and validation of real-world application effects, leveraging insights from behavioral science and online platforms to establish enduring mechanisms for effectively intervening in health rumors.

Abstract： The process of individual’s risk perception on medical information can be understood from the perspective of information processing. The influencing factors of risk perception on medical information are categorized into three aspects, namely, the source of medical information, the content and form of medical information, and the subject of information processing. The cognitive mechanism of individual’s risk perception on medical information was discussed based on experience-analysis processing theory and verbatim-gist processing theory. This study recommends increased attention to balance the general and specific studies of risk perception on medical information. Moreover, the standard and specific measurements should be combined, and research in the context of China’s medical system should be expanded. Furthermore, a series of theoretical and empirical research should be developed, and preventive measures and evidence-based supporting policies must be established.

Abstract： A vaccine safety scare is defined as the phenomenon in which the public’s distrust of the validity and safety of vaccination is triggered by negative vaccine-related media reports or vaccine conspiracy theories. Such misinformation further leads to a dramatic drop in the vaccination coverage or willingness of individuals to be vaccinated domestically or globally. Together with the influence of the negative prior beliefs of vaccination and the experiential processing and gist extraction of individual cognition, this information gains further social amplification during its dissemination in society. Current psychological counter-strategies to address vaccine safety scares mainly consist of belief inoculation, reconstruction of risk perception, and satisfaction of informational needs and emotional appeals. However, the ecological validity of these methods remains unexplored. In addition, sharing positive vaccine information should be encouraged to debunk vaccine misinformation.

Abstract： 采用反驳文本范式对患方进行知识修正，提升患方对医方的信任和道德判断。预实验编制反驳文本并验证其有效性，实验1验证反驳文本可以显著提高患方的对医信任和道德判断，并发现医疗结果是影响患方信任和对医道德判断的重要因素。实验2和实验3探究了反驳文本有效性的作用机制及适用普遍性，发现不确定性容忍度和宽容度在反驳文本和患方信任及道德判断之间呈链式中介作用，且反驳文本可脱离医学情境提升普遍患方信任。
