Research on resilience in the behavioral sciences began to emerge around 1970 and has gained more and more attention in western countries. However, the psychologists in China did not begin to study it until the 2000s. This paper offers a review of the literature on resilience beginning in the 2000s to the present. The results are as follows: There are varying definitions of resilience and central terminology in western countries, which slow the development the field. Scholars may give us different definitions from different angles of their own aspects, so the definitions and translations of resilience are also not consistent in China. The subject of resilience in our country has its characteristics. The researches mainly focus on migrant children, left-behind children and children in Wenchuan earthquake stricken, but seldom focus on other groups. Expect for revised foreign instruments, researchers also have explored some localized scales. With the development of these localized scales, the current studies of resilience in China are promising. Resilience is inhibited by risk factors and prompted by protective factors. Protective factors alter responses to adverse events so that potential negative outcomes can be avoided. The individual factors (e.g., gender, grade, personality, social cognition), together with the factors from family (e.g., parent-child attachment, social support, parenting style, family conditions), school (e.g., peers, teachers, school types) and society are the main influencing factors to the development of their resilience. Now, the intervention for resilience of children in our country has just started. Most of the interventions are lack of systematization and persistence. The key idea in future work is that interventions need to focus on the combination of individual –level, family level and social environment level of children’s development. As a result,firstly, the future study need clarify the definition of resilience (e.g., the meaning of risk and the positive outcome).Secondly, the future research should focus on mixed method designs (e.g., combination with qualitative and quantitative methods, combination with longitudinal study and cross-sectional study). Thirdly, the study need broaden study subjects (e.g., various children in different areas and circumstances) and contents (e.g., emotional resilience, academic resilience, social resilience). Fourthly, the future study need strength the systematic intervention with multiple perspectives. Finally, the localization study has just begun in china and also need to strengthen in the future. The review is valuable and it points out the weakness of our study in resilience by analyzing the papers in these areas at present and the striving direction to strengthen in the future. Related Articles | Metrics Select Putting the Brakes on Direct Access to Other Minds: Five Problems for the Embodied Simulation CHEN Wei,ZHANG Jing Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (4): 65-71.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki./000-5560.2015.04.010 Abstract （403）   HTML （142）    PDF （1012KB）（784）       Knowledge map    Based on intellectualism, many mainstream researches anticipate understanding other minds as “one mind thinking about the other minds”. In recent years, however, this view has been challenged by the “direct social perception” (DSP). According to DSP, problems of accessing to other minds should not be regarded as “mind thinking about minds”, instead, the explanandum in intersubjectivity must include “embodied mind perceiving embodied minds”. As a substantive theory of DSP, embodied simulation (ES) emphasizes on reusing the core concept of mental simulation and posits a motion simulation as an automatic, unconscious, pre-reflective mechanism to go straight to the other minds, which is generated by the activities of mirror neurons. I propose five problems that should be fulfilled in order to support ES, and brake on direct access to other minds: (1) the similarity of brain-body system is not necessary for social interaction; (2) the priming of ES is affected by plenty of stimulus rather than the lack of stimulus; (3) activation of own motor program is not necessary for action understanding; (4) the accounts for classic experiments of mirror neuron is compatible with mentalizing accounts; (5) mirror neurons originate from sensorimotor associative learning rather than gene-based natural selection or adaptation.

In the first experiment, 36 university students were asked to read eight narrative stories. In the second experiment, 33 University students were asked to read eight narrative stories. The independent variables were the same as those in the first experiment. The dependent variable was the segment rate of the different points. According to the results from the two experiments, we find that in the temporal shift consistent with event shift condition, temporal shift causes the update of situation model; whereas in the temporal shift inconsistent with event shift condition, temporal shift don’t causes the update of situation model. To sum up, event is the core of situation model and temporal shift causes the update of situation unless it indexes event shift.

Achieving a calling allows an individual to experience the meaning of one’s work, mission and a true self. However, not all callings can be achieved, and what is the impact of the calling which you could have chosen but had to give you’re your self-concept, career and life? Based on the counter factual thinking, self-concept and calling-related researches, this paper argues that: (a) counter factual self based on calling (CSC) is a new construct paralleling actual self; (b) CSC has contributed much to theoretical research of calling and counter-factual thinking; (c) CSC can have direct impact on individual’ emotion, cognition, motivation and behavior. Related Articles | Metrics Select The Impact and Psychic Mechanism of Media Violence on Children and their Aggressive Behavior XING Shu-Fen,WANG Dan-Yang,LIN Chong-De Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (3): 71-78.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2015.03.010 Abstract （559）   HTML （1088）    PDF （548KB）（4245）       Knowledge map    With the prevalence of new medium and violent games, the relationship between media violence and aggressive behavior has become a research focus again. However, controversy still exists regarding the causal relationship between media violence and aggressive behavior, including two opposite theoretical models: General Aggressive Model and Catalyst Model. According to the General Aggressive Model, the effects of media violence on aggressive behavior involve short-term and long-term effect, with different psychic mechanisms. However, such factors as children’s personality, initial aggressive level, their recognition of the role and characteristics of the game will play a regulatory role. In this regard, future studies will be conducted using new paradigms and techniques, in order to reach a relatively consistent conclusion. Related Articles | Metrics Select Temporal Dynamics of Affective Responding to Affect Arousals in Resilient Individuals: A Behavioral Study XI Ju-Zhe,ZUO Zhi-Hong,TANG Xiao-Yan,MA Wei-Jun Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (3): 79-87.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2015.03.011 Abstract （476）   HTML （184）    PDF （974KB）（1544）       Knowledge map    The present study aims to explore the temporal dynamics of affective responding to positive affect arousals and negative affect arousals among resilient college students in comparison with non-resilient ones. Sixty-seven college students (34 are of high resilience and 33 of low resilience) who participated in the experiments of positive or negative affect arousal were screened out according to the scores of Resilience Scale for Adult (RSA). Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), video clips for affect arousals and self-developed self-rating affect schedule were used to measure and compare baselines of affects, the temporal dynamics of affective responding to affect arousals between the resilient and the non-resilient. The results indicated that high resilient individuals not only had a higher baseline of positive affect and a lower baseline of negative affect than their low resilient counter parts, but also had a higher level of affect balance as well. It was proved that high resilient individuals were of higher sensitivity to both positive and negative affect arousals; they recovered more slowly from effects of positive affective arousals and bounced back quickly from a bottom point when negatively aroused.The results implied that the difference in temporal dynamics of affective responding between high and low resilient individuals was an important intrapersonal factor to differentiate persons of high resilience from those of low resilience.

The results suggest that: (a) in general, the mental health of children left behind is worrying, with significant variation among different levels of sense of security ; (b) life events are in positive correlation to mental health, and sense of security is significantly negative to mental health; (c)sense of security plays a significant regulatory role in life events and mental health; (d) life events can directly predict mental health, with sense of security playing partial mediating effect on mental health in life events; (e)the left-behind situation is an important factor affecting the mental health, while sense of security plays a complete intermediary role between the left-behind situation and mental health of children left behind in China. Related Articles | Metrics Select Psychologists’ Humane Concern: Happiness, Social Justice and World Peace GUO Yong-Yu & HU Xiao-Yong Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (2): 55-61.   DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5560.2015.02.008 Abstract （464）   HTML （120）    PDF （562KB）（1705）       Knowledge map    Psychological researches tend to put more emphasis on human’s natural attributes than social attributes. In fact, psychology should, based on the comprehensive understanding of human nature, focus on humane concern and respond to the specific social reality, such as personal happiness, social justice, and world peace. Some studies argue that personal happiness can be divided at the psychological and subjective level. Studies show that demographic variables, personality characteristics, goals and economic status all have impressive effect on subjective happiness. In terms of social justice, researchers argue that lower-class people, who are more dependent on social justice, are more likely to have a feeling of social inequality than higher-class people. Some policies aiming to reducing social constraint, promoting the sense of control can enhance the sense of equality among lower-class people. In terms of the world peace, great progress has been achieved in the studies on love and hate, truth and reconciliation, comprehension and coexistence. And there is still much to be explored in combining humane concern with social responsibility in psychological researches.

In the past 20 years, qualitative research has spread to the field of psychology, which has attracted wide public concern. Qualitative orientation is increasingly integrated into the mainstream and has become what Kuhn called "normative science". Based on previous researches, this paper examines the development of psychological research from different perspectives, including the history of psychology, different orientations, the common basis, approaches of qualitative analysis and its contribution to the development of psychology.

In this study, three hundred and twenty eight college students participated in the scenario experiment, and a 4×2×2 randomized design was adopted. The results indicated that: (a) the main effect of IA was significant: the perception of distributive justice was lowest when participants were informed that they were paid less than average, and the perception of distributive justice was highest when participants knew that they got more than average; (b) the bandwagon effect was significant in all conditions of IA: when participants got IB, their perception of distributive justice decreased sharply; (c) the strongest snob effect appeared when IA was absent: when participants got IW, their perception of distributive justice increased dramatically. Finally, the theoretical and empirical implications of this study are discussed.

From the perspective of spirituality, understanding and reflecting spiritual health involves three related levels: spiritual health corresponding to mental illness, spiritual health equivalent to mental health, and spiritual health related to intelligence and life meaning. The third level is closely related to spiritual development, and all the three levels constitute individual’s integrated existence of "physiological-psychological-spiritual". Spiritual health should point to the development of "a whole person". The current mental health education should include "spiritual health", meanwhile, its values, contents and approaches should also be adjusted and supplemented. Mental health education should focus on individual’s spiritual development as well as their social and cultural attributes. Related Articles | Metrics Select Embodied Economics: A New Approach to Exploring Economic Psychology and Behaviors DOU Dong hui ； PENG Kai ping ； YU Feng ； LIU Xiao cen Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (1): 67-76.   Abstract （584）   HTML （121）    PDF （563KB）（2682）       Knowledge map    Traditional economics has long been a disembodied economics, excluding physical factors from its theoretical system. Instead, embodied economics is an approach to (neuro)economics that takes into account how information provided by bodily signals, the physical presence and displacements of others (or its imagination) influence the way we make economic decisions. A large number of recent economics psychological researches on how movements, gestures and body states influence decisionmaking, evaluation, risktaking and consumer behaviors have laid a solid empirical foundation for embodied economics. A better understanding of the impact of physical factors on our economic thinking and behaviors helps to enrich our knowledge of the dynamics of economic decisionmaking in individual and social contexts, thus making both economics and psychology relevant to real life. Related Articles | Metrics Select The Application of Experience Sampling Method and its Advantages in Emotion Regulation Research DENG Xin mei ；DING Xue chen； SANG Biao Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (1): 77-83.   Abstract （674）   HTML （130）    PDF （473KB）（2094）       Knowledge map    The present review aims to introduce the role and implication of Experience Sampling Method (ESM) in the studies of emotion regulation. Dynamic nature of emotion and emotion development, naturalistic emotion evoked situation, and various contributions of emotion development require researchers to make further methodological considerations when conducting emotion and emotion development studies. ESM takes advantages in emotion regulation research for several reasons: firstly, continuous and repeated assessment of momentary emotional events and relevant variables at regular frequent intervals throughout a relatively long period make it less susceptible to memory bias and implicit emotional attitude; secondly, experience sampling method puts emotional events in real social settings, thus improving the ecological validity of the study; thirdly, researchers could conduct multilevel and multivariate statistical analysis of massive sampling data and fruitful information by using ESM. In conclusion, ESM will be used more and more with further studies of emotion and emotion regulation. Related Articles | Metrics Select The Relationship between Immoral Online Behaviors and Social Responsibility: The Moderate Role of Moral Identity WU Peng；LIU Hua shan Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (1): 84-90.   Abstract （524）   HTML （130）    PDF （809KB）（1869）       Knowledge map    Through questionnaire, we attempt to analyze the relationship between immoral online behaviors and social responsibility among adolescence. 676 students from 12 classes participating in the research completed three questionnaires. The results indicate that adolescence score high in social responsibility and moral identity and have only a few immoral online behaviors. Our regression analysis indicates that social responsibility can predict the immoral online behaviors. Our moderation analysis shows that symbolization of moral identity can regulate the relationship between social responsibility and immoral online behavior. Further, for students whose score on symbolization of moral identity is high, the social responsibility can predict the immoral online behavior. But, for students whose score on symbolization of moral identity is low, the social responsibility can't predict the immoral online behavior. The article concludes with the discussion about the implications of our research for moral education. Related Articles | Metrics Select Theoretical Modalities of Descriptive Psychology WANG Shen lian ； GUO Ben yu Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2015, 33 (1): 91-96.   Abstract （602）   HTML （129）    PDF （450KB）（2235）       Knowledge map    Descriptive psychology was a branch of human science psychology, cofounded by Brentano and Dilthey at the start up period of scientific psychology. It held that we should present the whole picture of human mental life as what it is through phenomenological description or hermeneutical understanding. Descriptive psychology evolved along rigorous scientific tradition and romantic tradition, each of which mainly exhibited three distinctive theoretical modalities. The former included Brentano’ s act descriptive psychology, Stumpf’ s functional descriptive psychology, and Husserl’ s essential descriptive psychology; the latter included Dilthey’s lived experience descriptive psychology, Spranger’s structural descriptive psychology, and Stern’s personality descriptive psychology. Each of all the six theoretical modalities had its own basic principles, theoretical focus, and methodology preference. They formed a strong alliance to prevent psychology from becoming a nature science within the framework of descriptive psychology. They jointly opposed genetic psychology or explanatory psychology built on nature science and created by Wundt and others.

The findings indicate that the examtaking pressure is related to regional economic conditions and cultural tradition, and that the tradition of respecting teachers and valuing education as well as the plentiful cultural activities are beneficial to the students’ learning state and teacherstudent relationship. Therefore, in order to carry out integrated school cultural activities, it is necessary to enhance and expand the traditional culture based on the stimulation of students’ learning potential.

Related Articles | Metrics Select Embodied Approaches to Creative Insight ZHANG Zhong-Lu, LI Hong Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2014, 32 (4): 80-89.   Abstract （688）   HTML （134）    PDF （548KB）（1987）       Knowledge map    In creative insight domain, the question of how to access creative insight seems more important than the question of what happens at that moment. In embodied cognitive theory, the human body and the interactive experiences between body and world provide a scafford for and have influence on cognition processing. Within this theoretical framework, in this article we review two embodied approaches to creative insight: the first one refers to bodily structures and states and the second one refers to the interactive experiences between body and world. In terms of the first approach, the change in some brain structures such as damage to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or decreased excitability on the left side together with increased excitability on the right side of the anterior temporal lobes facilitates insight. Individuals in special physiological states such as moderate intoxication, sleep or the nonoptimal time of day have better performance on creative insight, or some other states like meditation (or mindfulness) and positive affection can improve insight problem solving. In terms of the second approach, the interaction between body and physical props enables construction of counterexamples, thus improving insight solutions. Insight can occur when the bodily action activates the perceptual and motor pattern related to solution (e.g., swinging arms in solving the two string problem), or some gestures such as arm flexion rather than arm extension can bolster insight, or insight can also be elicited by activating the insightrelated abstract concept in a metaphorical way (e.g., exposure to an illuminating lightbulb), or multiculture experiences can bolster insight. In light of the embodied cognition theory and insightrelevant studies, human body and the bodily experience through the world play great role in insight occurrence. The embodied approach to insight provides a new perspective to reveal the insight mechanism. Future studies should be conducted to identify more bodyrelevant variables on creative insight and apply the cognitive neuroscience approach to the exploration of the embodied mechanisms of creative insight. Related Articles | Metrics Select Research on the Role of Knowledge Base in University Students’ Creative Thinking LOU Lian-Di, PANG Wei-Guo Journal of East China Normal University(Educationa    2014, 32 (4): 90-98.   Abstract （644）   HTML （34）    PDF （546KB）（1755）       Knowledge map    Based on two experiments, this research investigates the role of knowledge base in University students' creative thinking. Experiment 1 uses the amount of English vocabulary to represent the general knowledge base and English writing as the creative task. Research findings show that the amount of English vocabulary has significant impact on the creativity in English writing. The larger English vocabulary the students have, the more creative their writings are. The amount of English vocabulary contributes to both novelty and appropriateness in English writings. Experiment 2 employs the test scores of some psychology subjects as well as the years of studying psychology to represent the domain-specific knowledge base, and the psychological research design as the creative tasks. The findings indicate that when the test scores of psychology subject is used as the indicator of knowledge base, it is not significantly correlated with the creativity in research design. However, as the indicator of knowledge base, the years of studying psychology has significant positive effects on both the novelty and appropriateness of the task performance. And these effects are found bigger in the more difficult design tasks. Related Articles | Metrics page Page 1 of 2 Total 29 records First page Prev page Next page Last page
