This study examined the relationship between core Confucian ethics and suicide. We used a proxy sample of youths randomly
selected from rural areas of three provinces in China. The proxy sample consisted of 382 completed suicides and 414 community
living controls, all aged 15–34 years. Logistic regression analyses showed that among the Chinese youths (1) the Confucian
ethic of filial piety was negatively associated with suicide; (2) the Confucian ethic of harmony moderated the estimated net
effect of negative life events on suicide; and (3) the Confucian ethic of female subordination was positively linked with
suicide. We also discussed implications of our study for future research. 相似文献
The present study aimed to identify meaningful subtypes of psychopathy among Chinese female offenders. A Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) based on the scores of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathic Scale was performed in a sample of Chinese female prisoners (N?=?279, M age?=?45.43, SD?=?8.62). The LPA yielded three profiles: “low psychopathy group” (27.6%), “moderate psychopathy group” (66.7%), and “high egocentricity and antisocial group” (5.7%). These profiles differed on all outcome variables including anxiety, depression, reactive aggression, and proactive aggression. The high egocentricity and antisocial group had a greater risk for anxiety, recidivism, impulsiveness, and aggression. Overall, the findings support the existence of psychopathy subtypes in non-Western cultural contexts, suggest gender similarities in the manifestation of psychopathy traits, and further the understanding of psychopathy typologies.
