Abstract： In today’s Chinese society, where materialistic values prevail, the promotion of green consumption is a matter of concern. Previous studies have drawn contradictory conclusions regarding the relationship between materialism and green consumption. Apropos this, the current research takes the conspicuous and inconspicuous characteristics of green products themselves as the breakthrough point. This study first examines the boundary conditions of materialism affecting green consumption, namely the moderating role of green products’ conspicuous characteristics. It further explores the psychological mechanisms of materialism promoting conspicuous green consumption and inhibiting inconspicuous green consumption, and finally investigates the intervening effects of nature contact on this basis. These studies provide new ideas for solving existing research differences and make management suggestions for enterprises and the government to guide green consumption."

Abstract： When presented with the moral decision-making situation within a foreign language context, the individuals will show a stronger utilitarian moral evaluation tendency compared with the same situation within the native language context. This phenomenon is defined as the moral foreign language effect. Numerous research studies have explored how the language context can influence moral judgment. However, the results were far from consistent. In this work, we used meta-analysis to explore the effect of the language type (native language vs. foreign language) on the individuals’ utilitarian tendency in moral judgments, and we analyzed several moderating variables. We retrieved 19 papers from the literature, with 46 independent samples, 97 effect sizes and 9672 participants that met the inclusion criteria. The results demonstrated a small but stable moral foreign language effect (g = 0.23). Analyzing the moderation factors indicated that the moral foreign language effect was influenced by the story type, with a small but stable effect for personal moral dilemma stories (g = 0.32). On the other hand, there was no foreign language effect for impersonal moral dilemma stories (g = 0.11) or daily moral evaluation stories (g = 0.12). In addition, the foreign language effect for impersonal moral dilemma stories was affected by the scoring method. There was a significant effect under multi-point scoring (g = 0.27), but not under two-point scoring (g = 0.05). As for the sex and language family type, no significant moderating effect was observed. Our results suggest that the language type has a certain impact on the individuals' decision tendency when faced with moral dilemmas. More attention should be paid to the influence of the moral dilemma story type and a scoring method in future research.

Abstract： This present study aims to explore characteristics in the 1986~2020 literature of Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology by bibliometric analysis. The results showed that the proportion of empirical research in Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology has declined in recent years, while the proportion of non-empirical research has increased. The proportion of fund funding has been increasing year by year. The number of authors co-published articles was 1101, and 6 clusters were formed among highly productive authors. The main issuing institutions were normal universities, and Zhejiang colleges and universities published more articles. The proportion of inter-agency cooperation was rising. There was a significant positive correlation between cited frequency and download frequency. The research hotspots of Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology have experienced three stages: overview of applied psychology, psychology and behavior of different groups, and artificial intelligence. This study believes that this journal has the following characteristics: (1) It has good "Quality" and big "quantity"; (2) The trend of cooperation in scientific research is obvious; (3) The journal articles exit regional; (4) Social demand promotes the development of Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology. In the future, the journal should continue to improve while maintaining its advantages to better serve the development of the discipline and meet social needs. " "
