Summary of content:

Meta-analysis (also known as meta-analysis) synthesizes empirical research results in a quantitative manner and is an important tool for accumulating and integrating evidence and advancing basic and applied research. Under the new research practice of open science, meta-analysis is an important means to integrate open data and make scientific inferences. However, the process of meta-analysis is complicated with various methods, and the rigor of its execution has a great impact on the quality of meta-analysis. Therefore, the transparency and openness of its report are particularly important for the repeatability of its results. In order to understand the current situation of standardization of Chinese meta-analysis reports, let more researchers know the standardization and transparency of meta-analysis reports, and improve the quality of meta-analysis reports, this paper is based on the widely used systematic review and Meta-analysis Priority Report Item (PRISMA) and open scientific concept, combined with the characteristics of meta-analysis reports based on effect size. A Chinese version list of meta-analysis reports was developed, and meta-analysis in psychology was taken as an example to review the methods and results of 68 Chinese meta-analyses published in China in the past five years. Based on the results, we suggest that meta-analysis reports need to be more open and transparent in terms of the timing and limitations of literature search, details of study screening and data collection processes, flow charts of article screening, details of effect size conversion, and assessment of individual study bias. The list of meta-analysis reports in this paper provides a relatively comprehensive list for open meta-analysis and provides a reference standard for future meta-analysis studies.

Summary of content:

102 college students were tested using the simplified Chinese version of "automated computing breadth Task" and the Raven reasoning test, which was developed based on MATLAB software environment. 86 of them were retested about 8 days later on average. The results show that the internal consistency reliability coefficient of Cronbach sα for the simplified Chinese version of "automated computing breadth task" is 0. 670, and the retest reliability is 0.666. Using the Raven reasoning test as the validity criterion, Pearson correlation analysis of the Raven reasoning test score and the total breadth score showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the two in the initial test (r = 0.33, P < 0.01) and the retest (r = 0.39, P < 0.01). Conclusions: The simplified Chinese version of the "automated computing breadth task" has good reliability and validity, is easy to operate, and can easily measure the working memory capacity of individuals.

School of Psychology, Nanjing Normal University

Summary of content:

In psychological research, there are two situations in which researchers may need to evaluate the null effect: first, to conclude that an effect does not exist; Second, unexpected and insignificant results need to be distinguished between the absence of an effect and the failure of the current data to provide sufficient evidence. However, the commonly used Null hypothesis significance test (NHST) cannot directly evaluate the null effect. In recent years, equivalence test, Bayesian estimation and Bayesian factor are gradually used to evaluate the zero effect. In the framework of frequency statistics, equivalence test will find a Smallest effect size of interest (SESOI) to infer whether the effect is zero by means of p value. Under the framework of Bayesian statistics, Bayesian estimation can infer whether the effect is zero by comparing the overlap between the highest density interval and the actual equivalent region of the posterior distribution. Bayes factor, on the other hand, deduces the relative support degree of current data to the original hypothesis by evaluating the relative support degree of current data to the original hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. This paper shows the practical application of the three methods by analyzing two real data. The three methods have their own characteristics: equivalence test is a logical extension of NHST, which is easy to be extended from the traditional statistics; The interpretation of Bayes factor is intuitionistic and logical. Bayesian estimation has strong flexibility and can be extended to more research problems. The above three methods to evaluate the zero effect may help psychology researchers to make reasonable statistical inferences and research decisions in actual studies.

Summary of content:

Research has shown that people may have greater cognitive control tendencies when they're standing than when they're sitting, making them more inclined to sacrifice an innocent person to save more. Moreover, this postural effect can be modulated by a dual process. In three studies, participants read a passage about a dilemma situation that suggested a solution to sacrifice one innocent person to save five or more. The subjects were asked whether the described behavior was morally acceptable and whether they would perform the described behavior. The results showed that in all three studies, the participants agreed with the behavior more than they agreed with the idea. The standing subjects expressed higher approval of the behavior than the sitting subjects. In addition, when participants made moral decisions under the dual task of increasing cognitive load, the posture effect no longer mattered. This study confirms the validity of the dual process moral theory and demonstrates that body posture can affect moral decision-making. It also provides new evidence to reveal the regulating effect of dual process on postural effect.

Summary of content:

In the fields of psychology, pedagogy and clinical medicine, more and more researchers begin to pay attention to the dynamic changes of behavior, psychology and clinical effects within individuals over time, and attach importance to the differentiation modeling for individuals. Intensive tracking is a method of intensive tracking measurement of multiple time nodes of individuals in a short period of time, which is more suitable for studying the dynamic changes and mechanisms of psychological processes within individuals. In recent years, intensive tracking has become a hot topic in psychology research, but many intensive tracking research and analysis still stay in more traditional methods. In the field of methodology, many Model methods for intensive tracking data analysis have emerged. The more mainstream models include the top-down modeling method represented by the Dynamic Structural Equation Model (DSEM). And a bottom-up modeling method represented by Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME). Both of them can easily model autoregressive and cross-hysteresis effects in intensive tracking data.

Summary of content:

Swallow and Jiang (2010) first discovered that target detection during coding can promote the performance of background information presented simultaneously in subsequent memory tests, and called this phenomenon Attentional Boost Effect (ABE). Subsequent studies have found that this phenomenon does not appear in the implicit test of concepts, which suggests that object detection mainly promotes perceptual processing of background information, rather than semantic processing. In this study, three experiments were conducted to manipulate the encoding type of background information (perceptual processing or conceptual processing). The results show that when the object detection is carried out at the same time is the concept processing task of background information, ABE will appear in the subsequent concept implicit test. On the contrary, when the background information is processed by perception, ABE will appear in the subsequent perceptual implicit test rather than the conceptual implicit test. These results indicate that target detection may promote both perceptual and semantic processing of background information, but ABE can be generated only when the encoding processing of background information under target detection is consistent with the extraction processing relied on in the subsequent implicit test.

Acta Psychologica Sinica, 53 (10), 13.

Summary of content:

In order to explore the interaction among the teacher-teacher negotiation management behavior, teacher-student relationship and students' externalized problem behavior, 1407 primary school students from grades 4 to 6 were tracked and measured three times in one school year by questionnaire method. Cross hysteresis analysis results show that: (1) The negotiation and management behavior of homeroom teachers initiates a positive interaction process. The negotiation and management behavior of homeroom teachers at T1 can significantly reduce the externalized problem behavior of students at T2, enhance the intimacy of teacher-student relationship at T2 and reduce the conflict of teacher-student relationship at T2, and then significantly affect the negotiation and management behavior of homeroom teachers, teacher-student relationship and students' externalized problem behavior at T3. (2) Students' externalized problem behavior drives the negative interaction process. Students' externalized problem behavior at T1 can significantly reduce the teacher-student negotiation and management behavior at T2, reduce the teacher-student intimacy at T2, and increase the teacher-student conflict at T2, and then significantly affect the students' externalized problem behavior, teacher-student relationship, and teacher-teacher negotiation and management behavior at T3. The results support the dynamic interaction model, suggesting that class teachers can consciously use the positive driving effect of negotiation management behavior to intervene in students' externalizing problem behavior while alerting students to the negative driving effect of externalizing problem behavior.

Summary of content:

Social media has become a part of people's lives, and selfies are a common appearance-centered message on social media. The study found that selfie-related behaviors were closely related to the user's body image. Selfie-related behaviors on social media include selfie engagement, selfie manipulation, selfie Posting, selfie browsing and selfie feedback engagement, etc. Since individuals have the dual identities of both information publisher and receiver on social media, it can be classified as proactive selfie behaviors of the publisher, and reactive selfie behaviors of the receiver as browsing selfie and feedback input. At the same time, the influence of self-selfie-related behaviors on body image can be analyzed from two perspectives of initiative and responsiveness, and the process of action can be divided into body monitoring, standard internalization, and appearance comparison. Then, the factors that may affect the relationship between self-selfie-related behaviors and body image and the process of action can be listed from the three aspects of individual, interpersonal and environment. In future studies, the influence of self-portrait behaviors on body image can be further discussed from the aspects of enriching the sample of subjects, optimizing the research design, studying self-portrait behaviors in detail, paying attention to regulating variables and environmental factors, and the process of self-construction in cyberspace can be discussed theoretically.

Summary of content:

Through three follow-up measurements of 859 junior high school students for 3 years, the independent and joint development tracks of depression and self-injury were investigated, and the effects of three important interpersonal relationships (parent-child relationship, peer relationship and teacher-student relationship) on their joint development were examined. The results showed that depression and self-injury in early adolescents presented 4 and 3 heterogeneous developmental trajectories, respectively. The joint development trajectory of the two groups includes three categories: "low depression -- low NSSI -- stable", "low depression -- low NSSI -- increase", and "moderate depression -- moderate NSSI -- decrease". Parental psychological control and peer acceptance are risk and protective factors for early adolescent depression and NSSI, respectively.

Summary of content:

Based on the classical propositions of Confucianism, the hypothesis that the gentleman's personality has a positive effect on mental health through the chain mediation of self-control and authenticity was proposed, which was verified by various methods (total sample size: 1169). The results showed that gentleman personality positively predicted mental health measured simultaneously (study 1) and self-esteem, core self-evaluation and emotional balance measured 6 months later, and negatively predicted psychological symptoms (Study 4). Superior personality positively predicted self-control traits (Study 1) and self-control decision making (Study 3 and 4), self-control manipulated by situational simulation improved mental health and authenticity (study 2), and authenticity manipulated by recall priming improved mental health (Study 3). The chain mediation is also supported by the results of simultaneous and cross-time point measurement, statistical control and experimental control. People with a higher level of gentleman personality are more prone to self-control, thus feeling that their behavior is more consistent and connected with their true self, and therefore have a more positive mental state.

Li Rui & Xia Lingxiang. (2021). The mediating effect of aggressive motivation on trait anger and reactive aggression: a longitudinal study. Acta Psychologica Sinica, 53 (07), 788-797.

Summary of content:

Trait anger is an important personality factor affecting reactive aggression. Reactive aggression is proposed based on aggressive motivation, but the mechanism of trait anger's influence on reactive aggression is still unclear. We hypothesize that trait anger can predict reactive aggression longitudinally by enhancing the specific motivation of reactive aggression (i.e. hostile motivation) and the common motivation of reactive aggression and proactive aggression (i.e. moral permission motivation). To test this hypothesis, a total of 1007 college students from five provinces and cities were tracked three times for trait anger, hostile attribution bias (representing hostile motivation), moral disengagement (representing moral permission motivation), reactive aggression and proactive aggression. The results showed that: (1) Trait anger at the first time could predict reactive aggression at the third time by hostile attribution bias and moral disengagement at the second time after controlling for gender; (2) Hostility attribution bias can only predict reactive aggression longitudinally, but not proactive aggression across time; (3) Moral disengagement can predict reactive aggression and proactive aggression longitudinally. These results support the motivation model of trait anger affecting reactive aggression, develop the theory and research of the relationship between personality and aggression, and play a positive role in revealing the motivation mechanism of reactive aggression.

Summary of content:

Moral damage refers to the lasting psychological, physical, spiritual, behavioral, and social impact of an individual's conduct, failure to prevent, witness, or hear of an action that violates his or her deep moral beliefs and expectations. Moral injury, as an interdisciplinary concept, has attracted wide attention in the fields of psychology, ethics, psychiatry and sociology since Litz redefined it from the perspective of psychology in 2009. At present, researchers have developed multiple multidimensional scales to measure events or symptoms of moral impairment, and intervention measures such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy and appropriate exposure therapy for moral impairment have been used. Future studies can further explore the occurrence and development mechanism of moral injury, establish the diagnostic criteria of moral injury, promote the scope of application of moral injury, enrich the connotation of moral injury, so as to expand the breadth and depth of moral injury research.

Neuroplasticity induced by working memory training: a spatio-temporal model of decreasing brain region distribution based on a series of fMRI experiments. Advances in Psychological Science, 30 (2), 255-274.

Summary of content:

Working Memory Training (WMT) induces neuroplasticity, but its specific mechanism remains unclear. In order to investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of brain function changes induced by WMT in normal population, 37 fMRI literatures on WMT in normal population in recent 20 years were reviewed by using the "extended parietal integration theory of intelligence" and the "neural efficiency hypothesis" as hypotheses. First, descriptive review, frequency analysis and Chi-square test were used to compare the changes in brain activation patterns and functional connections before and after WMT. Five associated regions, seven macro regions and three subregions of the brain were found to be involved in WMT. In particular, the three subregions of the superior frontal gyrus, inferior parietal lobule and cingulate gyrus showed more decreased activation than increased activation, and the differences were statistically significant. Secondly, the activation likelihood estimation method was used to make a meta-analysis of 26 of them, and it was found that there were three subregions with statistically significant differences in activation levels before and after WMT, namely, middle frontal gyrus (BA6 and 8), superior frontal gyrus (BA6) and anterior cingulate gyrus (BA24 and 32). Thirdly, based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis results, the temporal and spatial model of the decreasing distribution of WMT brain region is proposed, and five results and discussion are produced. Then, non-parametric test was used to further analyze the possible moderators of WMT effect, and it was found that the effect of WMT task type and time on brain region activation was statistically significant. Then, according to the temporal and spatial characteristics of neuroplasticity induced by WMT in normal population, four conclusions are drawn: first, WMT can change the neural activity in the corresponding brain regions of normal population, which is either weakened or enhanced, but the weakening is more prominent, and newer and shorter WMT tends to induce more weakening. Second, these neural activity changes mainly occurred in the frontal parietal area, but also included the temporal lobe, occipital lobe, cingulate gyrus and striatum, respectively, reflecting the whole brain function association to a certain extent. Thirdly, changes in neural activity in the middle frontal gyrus, superior frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate gyrus mainly reflected the spatial characteristics of WMT neuroplasticity, while the superior frontal gyrus, inferior parietal lobule and cingulate gyrus mainly reflected the temporal characteristics. Fourthly, the "extended parietal integration theory of intelligence" and the "neural efficiency hypothesis" support the spatial and temporal characteristics of WMT brain region distribution, respectively. Finally, it is pointed out that future studies may need to distinguish the WMT effect reflected in the three subregions of the superior frontal gyrus, inferior parietal lobule and cingulate gyrus, and the comprehensive influencing factors of the decreased or enhanced activation of the brain region caused by WMT.

Summary of content:

Intersubjective theory is one of the most important orientations in contemporary psychoanalysis. Compared with more traditional psychoanalysis, its theoretical characteristics are shown from the distinction of "inside/outside" space to the emphasis on "in between" space, from the "subject-object" relationship to the "subject-subject" relationship, from insight to action, from foundationalism and positivism to hermeneutics and constructivism. Despite the confusion of terminology and differences of opinion, the intersubjective turn of psychoanalysis has spread across almost every genre, affecting a wide range of analysts in North America, Europe, and Latin America. Future intersubjective theories need to remain open to ongoing dialogue with previous theories, clinical data, and other disciplinary areas.

Summary of content:

Facial credibility evaluation has an important effect on interpersonal trust and cooperative behavior. Previous studies have found that additional information such as facial features and background environment can regulate people's evaluation of the trustworthiness of other people's faces in both bottom-up and top-down ways, but the specific effective and ineffective mechanisms remain unclear. In order to solve this problem, this paper puts forward the "empirical transfer hypothesis", and probes into the cognitive mechanism, boundary conditions and adjustment process of the two types of adjustment modes. This study provides theoretical and empirical basis for further understanding of the regulation mechanism of interpersonal trust.

Summary of content:

[Objective] To explore the psychological impact of coming out on sexual minorities, and to provide suggestions for sex education and development of sexual minorities. 【 Methods 】 In this study, Python and Octopus were used to obtain the data of sexual minority users on Weibo and Zhihu. The Wenxin system was used to obtain the word frequency characteristics of emotional words of sexual minority groups. The life satisfaction index was obtained by machine learning. 【 Results 】 The proportion of negative emotion words (t = -3.043, p < 0.01) and sad words (t = -2.211, p < 0.05) in closeted group was significantly higher than that in closeted group. Life satisfaction was significantly lower than that in the telling-out group (t = 5.078, p < 0.001). [Limitations] In this study, the closeted group was not sampled enough, the subjects were not screened by age, the selection variables were few and the cross-sectional study made the study not comprehensive. 【 Conclusion 】 Coming out can improve life satisfaction and promote mental health development of sexual minorities.
