大学新生时间管理倾向、手机依赖与无聊倾向的关系：一项交叉滞后研究

在3个月的时间内对425名大学新生进行3次追踪测量,以考察时间管理倾向、手机依赖与无聊倾向之间的因果顺序和发展变化趋势。结果发现：（1）大学新生的无聊倾向与时间管理倾向呈同时性和继时性的负相关,并与手机依赖水平呈同时性和继时性的正相关。（2）T1和T2的无聊倾向分别正向预测T2和T3的手机依赖,并分别负向预测T2和T3的时间管理倾向;T1的时间管理倾向负向预测T2的无聊倾向;T2的手机依赖正向预测T3的无聊倾向。结论：无聊倾向分别与手机依赖、时间管理倾向之间存在相互预测关系。     

负性生活事件与初中生网络成瘾的关系: 社交焦虑和无聊倾向的作用

本研究调查3880名初中生,探讨负性生活事件与初中生网络成瘾的关系,并检验社交焦虑和无聊倾向的链式中介作用。结果表明:(1)负性生活事件能够显著正向预测初中生网络成瘾;(2)社交焦虑和无聊倾向分别在负性生活事件和网络成瘾间起部分中介作用;(3)负性生活事件还能通过社交焦虑和无聊倾向的链式中介间接预测网络成瘾。结合上述结果,本研究依据修正后的个人-情绪-认知-执行交互模型(I-PACE)和初中生的群体特征揭示了负性环境因素作用于初中生网络成瘾的内在机制及对实践干预工作的重要启示。     

厌恶情绪对法律判断的影响:基于进化心理学的视角

进化心理学认为,厌恶是人类在疾病、资源缺乏等适应性压力情境下,为抵御有害物质入侵通过自然选择而形成的进化心理机制。根据进化的观点,道德厌恶是由生理厌恶进化而来。道德厌恶有利于避免违反社会规范的行为。厌恶的激活会使道德判断更加苛刻,由此提出厌恶在法律判断中的几点启示:(1)避免直觉情绪对判断的干扰;(2)保持审议厅清洁,避免外在环境引起的厌恶情绪干扰法律判断;(3)对陪审团成员进行个体意识性和厌恶敏感性测量,避免道德过度警觉的现象发生。     

阈下启动的恐惧和厌恶情绪对人际判断的影响

该研究通过两个实验,采用单因素的组间设计,探讨了阈下启动的恐惧情绪和厌恶情绪对人际判断的影响作用。研究结果显示:1)阈下呈现恐惧图片的情况下,被试认为随后的中性人物面孔图片表现出更多的攻击性和威胁性,相对于阈下呈现中性图片的条件;2)阈下呈现厌恶图片的情况下,被试认为人物随后的中性人物面孔图片表现出更多的无礼性和令人讨厌,相对于阈下呈现中性图片的条件。研究结果表明,在具体情绪的水平上,阈下情绪启动会影响被试随后的人际判断。     

Boredom proneness in anger and aggression: effects of impulsiveness and sensation seeking

The present study was a replication and extension of Rupp and Vodanovich’s (1997) work on the role of boredom proneness in anger expression and aggression. In addition to replicating their primary analyses, impulsiveness and sensation seeking were included to determine the potential impact of these variables on the relationships between boredom proneness and anger and aggression. Two hundred and twenty-four college student volunteers completed measures of boredom proneness, impulsiveness, sensation seeking, anger expression, and aggression. Findings were consistent with Rupp and Vodanovich (1997) but demonstrated more pervasive effects of external boredom proneness on aggression. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated that the relationships between external boredom proneness and trait anger, anger expression/control, and aggression persisted even after accounting for impulsiveness and sensation seeking. Boredom due to a lack of external stimulation predicted one’s propensity to experience anger, maladaptive anger expression, aggression, and deficits in anger control.     

Genetic counseling for the next 25 years: Models for the future

Currently, two trends pose particular challenges for genetic counseling: (1) spin offs from the Human Genome Project leading to new diagnostic genetic tests far in advance of any cures; and (2) an increasing and diversified client population. These trends will lead to changes in both genetic service delivery systems and the development of alternative models of the genetic counseling process itself. Two models that could be adapted for genetic counseling are: the mutual participation model and the life history narrative model. Technological advances present ethical dilemmas and raise many questions. Already, improved detection of genes for predisposing conditions has entered clinical medicine requiring renewed ethical appraisals of genetic testing. Integration of genetic counseling (and required pre-screening education) into primary care settings involves time constraints and the involvement of health care personnel with less training in genetics. Alternative approaches are beginning to be discussed. Innovative genetic counselors with expanded visions of counseling goals and practices will play an increasingly important role in the future of genetic counseling.
