Cannot avert the eyes: reduced attentional blink toward others’ emotional expressions in empathic people

Empathy is one of the core components of social interaction. Although current models of empathy emphasize the role of attention, few studies have directly examined the relationship between attentional processes and individual differences in empathy. This study hypothesized that empathic people would process emotional expressions more efficiently and automatically compared to less empathic people. Crucially, such a processing advantage should be present only for faces of others compared to one’s own face. To test this hypothesis, 100 healthy participants varying in their self-reported empathy levels underwent an attentional blink task that tested preferential attentional processing. Results showed a diminished attentional blink effect for sad faces of others in the high-empathy group. Additionally, performance differences in the task were related to both trait empathy and daily prosocial behavior. Overall, our results show that emotional stimuli preferentially capture the attention of empathic people, leading to automatic processing.     

根植于航空安全文化的内隐安全态度的预测效应

采用飞行管理态度问卷FMAQ 2.0作为航空安全文化背景下外显安全态度的评价工具, 并设计了两个安全态度的内隐联想测试(IAT)对134名飞行员进行了调查, 同时运用专家评定法对其飞行绩效进行了评价, 结果发现：(1) 航空安全态度的IAT效应值较强, 飞行安全更多与积极评价和积极情感联系在一起, 对飞行风险与冒险是消极评价与回避。(2) 外显和内隐安全态度既相关又分离：评价性内隐安全态度和外显态度的驾驶舱工作态度、情感性内隐安全态度和驾驶舱工作态度与自动化驾驶态度显著正相关, 且总外显态度与内隐态度正相关显著, 同时模型数据显示二者是分离性结构。(3) 外显和内隐安全态度均能预测安全绩效, 其中外显态度对飞行作风、飞行技能和机组管理的预测率较高, 内隐态度在安全规章上预测率较高, 其共同预测模型拟合良好。结论：外显与内隐安全态度、安全绩效及其相互关系共同构成特定航空安全文化的完整模型。

Cultural Values and Volunteering: A Cross-cultural Comparison of Students�� Motivation to Volunteer in 13 Countries

Voluntary participation is connected to cultural, political, religious and social contexts. Social and societal factors can provide opportunities, expectations and requirements for voluntary activity, as well as influence the values and norms promoting this. These contexts are especially central in the case of voluntary participation among students as they are often responding to the societal demands for building a career and qualifying for future assignments and/or government requirements for completing community service. This article questions how cultural values affect attitudes towards volunteerism, using data from an empirical research project on student volunteering activity in 13 countries in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region. The findings indicate that there are differences in motivation between countries which represent different cultural values. This article sets these findings in context by comparing structural and cultural factors which may influence volunteerism within each country.     

论格式塔心理理论中的系统科学思想

在系统科学出现之前,格式塔心理在事物的整体性、同型论、非线性动力系统、顿悟说和现象学的透视方法等方面非常地接近系统科学了。格式塔的整体论思想非常的丰富,甚至可以看做是贝塔朗菲系统论的初级版本;格式塔的同型论思想初步给出了心物关系难题的回答,可以看做是协同论的一个雏形;格式塔的动力场论首先提出解决非线性动力结构的问题,为非线性思维的成长带来了动力;最后,格式塔心理学研究的现象学透视法、拓扑学与向量学方法的引入使我们看到,格式塔理论已经是一种接近成熟的系统科学思想了。     

Verbal deception from late childhood to middle adolescence and its relation to executive functioning skills

The present investigation examined 8- to 16-year-olds' tendency to lie, the sophistication of their lies, and related cognitive factors. Participants were left alone and asked not to look at the answers to a test, but the majority peeked. The researcher then asked a series of questions to examine whether the participants would lie about their cheating and, if they did lie, evaluate the sophistication of their lies. Additionally, participants completed measures of working memory, inhibitory control, and planning skills. Results revealed that the sophistication of 8- to 16-year-olds' lies, but not their decision to lie, was significantly related to executive functioning skills.     

肺动脉血栓栓塞症与凝血纤溶系统失衡

在生理状态下,凝血与纤溶处于动态平衡状态;当这种平衡失衡时,便可招致出血不止或形成栓塞。体内某些抗凝途径的蛋白缺陷会使机体处于高凝状态而导致静脉血栓栓塞性疾病(VTE),已经报道有多种栓塞因素与VTE的发生有关;人们通常认为,慢性栓塞性肺动脉高压(CTE-PH)是静脉系统栓子反复脱落至肺动脉所致,很自然的会想到CTE-PH的发病可能与以上多种栓塞因素有关,然而,目前研究更倾向于CTEPH和VTE并没有直接的关系或者说是两个独立的疾病。     

构建“医患沟通学”的思考与探索

中国医患关系紧张的原因涉及观念、国情、法制、政策、制度、医疗方式等。构建“医患沟通学”有重要的意义:医患迫切需要恢复和谐信任关系;新型医学模式变革、医学人才的培养及医学发展等更需要搭建“医患沟通”新的研究平台,并完善其理论。医患沟通实践与研究的过程,就是临床教师、医务卫生人员提高医学人文素质和实践能力的新途径。     

权力层级与团队绩效关系：权力与地位的一致与背离

本研究致力于探讨在权力与地位不一致的背景下, 权力层级与团队绩效研究的分歧。本研究提出权力层级与团队绩效的关系取决于团队的层级一致性——权力与地位的匹配度。具体地, 当层级一致(权力与地位匹配)时, 权力层级促进团队绩效; 当层级不一致(权力与地位不匹配)时, 权力层级抑制团队绩效。本研究结合问卷、实验和二手数据方法来验证假设, 研究1通过对46个大学生创业实践团队的两阶段问卷调查, 发现层级一致性对权力层级与团队绩效的关系具有调节作用。此后, 研究2通过一项涉及64个团队的实验来揭示因果关系, 发现权力争夺在权力层级和层级一致性的交互与团队绩效的关系中起中介作用。最后研究3通过203个观测值的互联网公司二手数据重复验证了层级一致性的调节作用, 并提升了本研究的生态效度。本研究为权力层级的研究做出了一定的贡献, 并为团队管理提供了启示。
