“心理距离“在后悔加工中作用的初步研究

采用改编的虚构故事,通过240名大学生课堂实验的形式,对假设思维中涉及的最佳状态和理想状态之间的心理距离是影响后悔强度的主要因素的假设进行检验。结果部分支持了该假设。同时表明,心理距离外的其它因素,如“孤岛效应”也对后悔加工有较大的影响。另外,对后悔的后加工观进行了检验,为后悔的研究从实验室转向现实生活辅平了道路。     

Teachers' Ratings of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Decisions for Referral for Services in Taiwan

We examined the relationship between elementary teachers' perceptions and ratings of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms of students and their referral decisions in public schools in Taiwan. One hundred and twenty-one homeroom teachers were randomly selected from six public elementary schools in Taipei County, Taiwan, to participate in the study. The study contained two groups of children, a random sample (n — 478) and a nominated sample (n = 219). Results of the discriminant analyses showed that Chinese teachers' ratings of ADHD could predict group membership as to whether a student had been or might be referred. This study found that, despite the fact that Chinese teachers believed children with scores two standard deviations above the mean had behavior problems, teachers decided not to refer those students. Teachers were more likely to refer children whose scores were three standard deviations above the mean.     

An expanded etiological model for suicide behavior in adolescents: Evidence for its specificity relative to depression

This study tests both the stress/social support and the stress/problem-solving etiological models for suicidality while controlling for depression. To this end, a depressed, high-suicide-ideating sample (N=68) was compared to a depressed, low-suicide-ideating sample (N=64). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to test the unique contributions of stress, problem-solving orientation, problem-solving skills, and perceived level of social support in predicting level of suicidality. Hierarchical regression analyses were also used to test the interactive contributions of problem-solving × stress and social support × stress in predicting level of suicidality. Regression models were generated separately for men, women, and the entire sample using all factors. The results clearly support the importance of social support as an independent predictor of suicidality for men, women, and the entire sample. Ability to generate alternatives to identified problems predicted suicidality, but only for women and the entire sample. Problem-solving orientation was not uniquely predictive of suicidality and may affect suicidal behavior via its relationship to depression.     

Menninger's motives for suicide in the notes of completed and attempted suicides.

Brevard, Lester, and Yang in 1990, studying Menninger's motives for suicide, reported more evidence for the wish to be killed (i.e., self-blame or self-punishment) in suicide notes for completed suicides than in parasuicide notes for attempted suicide; however, they did not control for age and sex. A comparison of notes written by completed and attempted suicides that controlled for age and sex showed no differences in the presence of content which reflected Menninger's three motives for suicide, including the wish to be killed.     

熟悉嗓声识别中猴脑的事件相关电位

在四只三岁龄雄性猕猴(Macaca mulatta)中,研究了识别熟悉人与陌生人、熟悉猴与陌生猴嗓声中的脑事件相关电位(ERPs)。结果表明,对熟悉猴和陌生猴的噪声“er”所诱发的ERPs在左颞区和左、右两顶区存在着显著差异。熟悉猴嗓声在左颞区诱发的P200波潜伏期长,左顶区N100波幅值大,在左、右顶区P300波潜伏期短。熟悉人与陌生人嗓声“pa”诱发的ERPs在左、右顶区P200波潜伏期有显著性差异,熟悉“Pa”诱发反应潜伏期短。熟悉人与陌生人噪声“ba”诱发的ERPs没有差异。熟悉猴嗓声与熟悉人嗓声加“pa”诱发的ERPs相比,在右颞区的P300波幅值显著变大,两顶区N100波幅值也增大,在右顶区P200和P300波的潜伏期也明显变短。顶问区N100波潜伏期短、幅值高。陌生人与陌生猴“pa”嗓声诱发的ERPs间没有差异。熟悉猴嗓声和陌生猴嗓声出现的概率不同,并不引起ERPs的明显差异。     

精神分裂症病人对成人面部表情的辨别

本文对比研究了精神分裂症病人和正常人对成人面部表情辨别的水平,发现精神分裂症病人存在着表情辨别障碍。病程长、以阴性症状为主的病人易出现这种障碍。表情辨别障碍是一种情绪障碍,属阴性症状。     

辐合运动在双眼深度感知中的作用

本文主要利用自己设计、制作的一套视觉心理物理实验装置进行了深度位置和深度运动的观察和测量。 观察到在允许辐合运动下,深度位置响应和理论计算值相近,这说明人的视觉系统能实现几何视差的运算。特别注意到,在大视差时,辐合运动在正确的深度感知中起重要作用。 视觉系统对深度运动的响应表明了辐合运动在大视差的深度运动感知中也起了重要作用:在大视差时能正确感知深度运动的大小;并能维持深度运动感。得到了视觉系统对深度运动刺激的响应有0.15—0.18秒的潜伏期。     

动觉后效的个体差异

本实验对143人用宽、窄两种插入刺激测定了动觉后效。实验结果表明,缩小型属外向,扩大型属内向,中间型内外向的趋势不大明显。作者简化了动觉后效的测定程序以后,并没发现对实验结果有什么影响,但发现了在各种条件下测定的动觉后效的类型是稳定不变的。这些都是把它作为诊断内外向的指标的有利条件。     

Retroactive inhibition without intentional new learning: Some comment on the elicitation hypothesis

Two groups of subjects learned a list of paired-associates. Subsequently, an interpolated phase was introduced that did not require the acquisition of a new PA-list. The experimental group had to fulfill a number of little tasks with respect to the first terms of the previously learned list, whereas the control group did the task with words which were not on that list. In two experiments it was shown that when the retention of the learned associates was tested, the experimental group suffered more from forgetting than the control group. It is concluded that new learning is not a prerequisite in the induction of RI. The position of the elicitation hypothesis of Two Factor theory is critically discussed and the evocative disuse hypothesis is presented as an alternative conception with respect to the phenomenon of interference.     

心理学的实践观——关于心理与活动理论问题的探讨

作者认为,人的现实活动体现着主体、客体和实践三者的联系和关系,它构成人们活动的特殊矛盾:即在人的现实活动中,心理、意识作为最活跃的方面同其活动本身构成的矛盾统一。心理学的实践观,要求从人的现实活动规律方面来探讨整个心理与活动的关系问题。本文还就活动的性质、结构、机制等进行了探讨。
