Content differences for abstract and concrete concepts

Concept properties are an integral part of theories of conceptual representation and processing. To date, little is known about conceptual properties of abstract concepts, such as idea. This experiment systematically compared the content of 18 abstract and 18 concrete concepts, using a feature generation task. Thirty-one participants listed characteristics of the concepts (i.e., item properties) or their relevant context (i.e., context properties). Abstract concepts had significantly fewer intrinsic item properties and more properties expressing subjective experiences than concrete concepts. Situation components generated for abstract and concrete concepts differed in kind, but not in number. Abstract concepts were predominantly related to social aspects of situations. Properties were significantly less specific for abstract than for concrete concepts. Thus, abstractness emerged as a function of several, both qualitative and quantitative, factors.     

Infants' knowledge of objects: beyond object files and object tracking

Two independent research communities have produced large bodies of data concerning object representations: the community concerned with the infant's object concept and the community concerned with adult object-based attention. We marshal evidence in support of the hypothesis that both communities have been studying the same natural kind. The discovery that the object representations of young infants are the same as the object files of mid-level visual cognition has implications for both fields.     

COVID-19 non-death loss and acceptance coping: A 3-wave cross-lagged panel analysis

Numerous individuals have lost loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic while millions of others have also experienced ongoing pervasive non-death loss. The understanding of how people deal with non-death loss is still relatively limited. Incorporating theory of coping and loss, this study examines the reciprocal relationship between non-death loss and acceptance coping. Based on the results of a cross-lagged panel model involving 314 participants in China, we found that before the end of the zero-Covid policy, non-death loss at Time 1 predicted less acceptance coping at Time 2, but in the opening up stage in late 2022, non-death loss at time 2 did not predict acceptance coping at time 3. The findings have significant implications for understanding the interplay between non-death loss and acceptance coping and highlights abrupt psychological changes during the COVID-19 pandemic.     

Plague God Image in the Clinic1

This paper selects four dreams before and during COVID-19 which constellated the Plague God image in Chinese culture. The author argues that this shows evidence that the origins of the modern psyche, although hidden, are preserved and living within the ancient anima mundi.     

组织行为学在中国之发展与领导行为研究

一、发展的历程 组织行为学做为一门独立学科被介绍到中国是70年代末80年代初的事,但中国心理学家早已注意到这方面的问题,而且在自己的研究工作中涉及到有关的课题,当时多采用工业心理学、劳动心理学或工程心理学的名称。 早在中华人民共和国成立之前,一些心理学家就考虑到在工业生产中有关人的因素     

关于几种照明的视觉疲劳的实验研究

本实验研究以眼的调节辐合时间,亮度辨别力和视觉疲劳的主观估计作指标,比较了八种不同照明条件下勾销工作所造成的视觉疲劳,得到了较一致的结果。实验者就视觉疲劳的测量问题进行了初步探讨。     

幼儿空间表征的初步实验研究

本实验分别从运动、照片和“地图”方面对4岁、5岁和6岁儿童在真实空间中的心理旋转及对参照信息的使用等空间表征的发展作了初步考察,结果发现,(1)运动部分客体定位最容易,“地图”部分其次,照片部分最难,(2)心理旋转能力在不同的实验方式下有不同的表现;(3)儿童的自我中心性反应也是相对的,并不一律依存于儿童的年龄,还与客观标记的作用有关。     

心理学为提高企业素质服务

心理学为社会主义建设服务,这是当前的一项重要任务。为发展生产、改进经营管理服务则是我们近年来探索的一个重点。因为管理的改革十分需要心理学工作者参加解决与人的因素有关的问题。在现代管理学中行为科学起着日益为人重视的作用。 提高企业素质是当前我国管理研究中的一个中心课题。邓小平同志说,从“六五”计     

青年人和老年人的元记忆与记忆能力关系的比较研究

采用自编“元记忆简短问卷”和“成人元记忆问卷”,对９０例被试（分为青年、老年和老老年组）进行元记忆及其与记忆关系的比较研究。结果表明：（１）预测记词对数和记图数随增龄而减少,年龄差异明显。评估准确性未显示年龄差异。训练后,预测成绩明显提高,但评估准确性未见提高。测后自评与预测情况相似,但其准确性高于预测,元记忆可能通过记忆过程而有提高;（２）自信程度和使用方法数均随增龄而减少,可能这是影响记忆成绩的重要因素;（３）联想学习和图象自由回忆成绩均与“元记忆简短问卷”和“成人元记忆问卷”的各项自评有不同程度的相关,表明元记忆与记忆关系密切。     

病证周一论

中医和西医是两大立体网络系统,虽各自有其发生发展过程,但二者在一定条件下可以同一,如同一病人中西医两种诊断,中西医病名证名,其概念的外延相交叉,相交部分呈现交融状态,即是二者同一的条件。就客观而言,两系统之交融状态是病证同一的前提,就认识而言,只有先认识病证同一,方能认识这二系统之交融同一。所谓病证同一,是运用中医理论和方法对西医疾病全过程本质认识,移植西医病名转化为中医的基本证,初步实现中医病证与西医病名在理论与临床上融汇同一,进而实现中医现代化。
