Modification of the catastrophic cognitions questionnaire (CCQ-M) for normals and patients: Exploratory and LISREL analyses

The Recently developed Catastrophic Cognition Questionnaire (CCQ) was further investigated using both student and anxiety patient samples. LISREL confirmatory factor analyses was used. The results showed that the CCQ could be explained by a three-factor oblique solution. These are Emotional Catastrophes, Physical Catastrophes, and Mental Catastrophes. The modified version of CCQ (CCQ-M) revealed good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity. It has also good discriminant validity. The CCQ-M can therefore be used with both normal and anxiety-disordered patients.We would like to thank the staff of the Anxiety Disorder clinic, in particular Dr. Larry Evans and Ms. Elly Staunton-McKenzie, for their assistance in data collection, and the subjects for their participation in this study. Dr. Khawaja was supported by a scholarship from the Government of Pakistan. She was on leave from the University of Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. We would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their excellent suggestions.     

斯—欧氏非言语智力测验的修订研究

斯—欧氏非言语智力测验是Snijders－Oomen1965年发表的智力测验。它具有施测过程不受言语知识的限制等优越性。我们于1995年着手斯—欧氏非言语智力测验在中国的修订研究。在研究中,我们选取了6岁组、11岁组、14岁组三个年龄段来自北京、天津、山东和河北的被试进行预测。施测总人数为334人。通过对SON—R测验在我国施测所得数据资料的分析,证明该测验具有较好的内部结构和效标关联效度。同时,我们也发现少量题目由于文化背景的影响,不适于中国的儿童。并对这些题目进行了必要的更换或调整。     

Transgenic Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Modulates a Developing Cerebellar Inhibitory Synapse

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to promote synapse formation and maturation in neurons of many brain regions, including inhibitory synapses. In the cerebellum, the Golgi cell-granule cell GABAergic synaptic responses undergo developmental transition from slow-decaying to fast-decaying kinetics, which parallels a developmental increase of GABA_A receptor α6 subunit expression in the cerebellar granule cells. In culture, BDNF accelerates the expression of GABA_A receptor α6 subunit expression in granule cells. Here we examined synaptic GABA_A response kinetics in BDNF transgenic mice. The mutant mouse, which carries a BDNF transgene driven by a β-actin promoter, overexpresses BDNF (two- to fivefold increase compared with wild types) in all brain regions. Recordings of the spontaneous GABA_A responses indicate that the decay time constant of the GABAergic responses decreases during early postnatal development; this transition is accelerated in the BDNF transgenic mouse. The amplitude of the spontaneous GABA_A responses was also larger in the transgenic mouse than in the wild-type mouse. However, the frequency of the spontaneous GABA_A responses were not different between the two groups. Our results suggest that BDNF may modulate GABAergic synapse maturation in the cerebellum.     

机械能力成套测验的编制

“机械能力成套测验”是应选拔、招收及培训机械技术工人的实际需要,编制的一套机械技术操作能力测验。它包括纸笔测验及操作测验两大部分,共计13个分测验。经过预测、题目分析及有针对性的取样,在天津三所技校抽取了280名技工,进行正式施测。结果表明:纸笔测验及操作测验再测信度分别为0.83和0.92;纸笔测验及操作测验成绩与等级评定结果的多系列相关分别为0.44和0.57。     

“行高人非”还是“见贤思齐”？职场上行比较对员工行为的双刃剑效应

本研究基于压力认知评估理论,从理性认知视角探讨了职场上行比较存在的提升自我和贬损他人效应,以及驱动不同路径效应生效的边界条件和传导机制。本研究通过轮询设计,在3个时间点收集了来自60个团队240位成员的720份人际配对样本,并采用社会关系模型分析数据得出以下结论:在低水平绩效证明目标导向情况下,员工倾向于将上行比较对象评估为挑战,进而激发员工向上行比较对象的学习行为;相反,在高水平绩效证明目标导向情况下,员工倾向于将上行比较对象评估为威胁,进而驱使员工采取针对上行比较对象的社会阻抑。     

Risk perception and conspiracy theory endorsement predict compliance with COVID-19 public health measures

Public health measures such as spatial distancing and physical hygiene have been found effective in mitigating the spread of the coronavirus. However, there is considerable variability in individual compliance with such public health measures and factors contributing to these interindividual differences are currently still understudied. The present study set out to determine the role of risk perception and conspiracy theory endorsement on compliance with COVID-19 public health measures and explored variations in these associations across participant age and the developmental status of a country, leveraging a large multi-national data set (N = 45,772) across 66 countries/territories, collected via online survey during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and May 2020). Human Development Index (HDI), developed by the United Nations Development Program, was used as a proxy of a country's achievement in key dimensions of human development. Overall, higher risk perception was associated with greater compliance, particularly in individuals with greater conspiracy theory endorsement. Specifically, people from more developed countries who perceived themselves less at risk but showed stronger conspiracy theory endorsement reported the lowest compliance with COVID-19 public health measures. Findings from this study advance understanding of the interplay between risk perception and conspiracy theory endorsement in their effect on compliance with COVID-19 public health measures, under consideration of both individual-level and country-level demographic variables and have potential to inform the design of tailored interventions to fight the current and future global pandemics.     

计划生育干部多种量表评定结果的相关分析

本研究采用DSQ、SCL－90、16PF问卷,对河南、陕西两省部分县（市）乡（镇）的计划生育专职机构的169名计生干部进行测试,结果发现：计生干部的防御方式、心理健康及个性特质三者存在着密不可分的内在联系。个性特征、心理健康状况影响制约着防御方式的动用;防御方式的使用影响行为后果及人的适应能力,进而作用于心理健康,心理健康状况又会重塑人格结构,影响防御方式的动用。

创伤暴露对青少年暴力行为和自杀意念的影响:创伤后应激障碍和抑郁的中介作用

采用创伤暴露问卷、基于DSM-5的创伤后应激障碍症状核查表、流调中心用抑郁量表和青少年行为问题调查表,在雅安地震3.5年后对地震极重灾区的703名中学生进行调查,考察创伤暴露对暴力行为和自杀意念的影响,并检验创伤后应激障碍和抑郁在其中的中介作用。结果发现：创伤暴露可以直接正向预测暴力行为和自杀意念,PTSD在创伤暴露对暴力行为和自杀意念的影响间起中介作用,抑郁仅在创伤暴露对自杀意念的影响间起中介作用,而在创伤暴露对暴力行为影响间的中介效应不显著。     

自尊对失败后抑郁、焦虑反应的缓冲效应

以117名大二学生为被试,采用问卷调查与实验相结合的方法,考察了自尊对失败后的抑郁状态、焦虑状态两种不良情绪反应的缓冲效应。结果发现：(1)无论何种情况下,高自尊组的被试其抑郁和焦虑反应都明显少于低自尊组;(2)失败程序成功诱导了被试的抑郁和焦虑反应;(3)失败后,自尊并没有立即或直接缓冲被试的抑郁和焦虑反应;(4)策略处理后,自尊显著缓冲了两种不良情绪反应,且在不同条件下有不同的效果;但自尊水平与策略处理间的总体交互作用不显著。
