  • Videoconferencing counseling online will not weaken treatment outcomes: Evidence from comparison with face-to-face counseling in-person

    Subjects: Other Disciplines >> Synthetic discipline submitted time 2023-10-09 Cooperative journals: 《心理学报》

    Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a shift from in-person face-to-face counseling (F2F) to online videoconferencing counseling (VCP), which poses the question: how does VCP affect treatment outcomes compared to F2F? Existing research has demonstrated the equivalence of VCP and F2F in terms of effectiveness. However, the working alliance, a key common factor in F2F, has been found to be lower in quality in VCP than in F2F in a recent meta-analysis. Moreover, only one study has examined the reciprocal relationship between working alliance and treatment outcomes in VCP at the within-patient level. The present study aims to (a) compare the treatment outcomes between VCP and F2F using longitudinal data from a naturalistic setting; and (b) explore the mutual influence of working alliance and treatment outcomes in VCP and F2F at the within-patient level. This study was conducted in a counseling center of a university in central China, and participants were arranged to receive VCP or F2F. The final sample consisted of 525 college students, of whom 117 received VCP and 408 received F2F. The only difference between the two conditions was the mode of delivery (VCP vs. F2F). Participants completed the CORE-OM-10 before each session and the Session Alliance Inventory (SAI) after each session. They also completed the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and CORE-OM-34 at pre- and post-treatment. The data from sessions 1 to 6 were analyzed using the Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM). A multi-group RI-CLPM comparison was conducted to examine the alliance-outcome relationship in VCP and F2F at the within-patient level. The within-patient analysis revealed that SAI was a significant predictor of CORE-OM in the subsequent session, and CORE-OM was a significant predictor of SAI in the same session. The multi-group comparison indicated that the predictive effect of SAI on CORE-OM did not differ significantly between VCP and F2F. However, the working alliance quality in VCP was significantly lower than that in F2F after the first and the fourth sessions, but not after the other sessions. The post-treatment analysis, using Propensity Score Matching with pretest CORE-OM34, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 as predictor variables, showed no significant difference in PHQ-9, GAD-7, and CORE-OM34 between VCP (N = 89) and F2F (N = 336). These findings indicate that VCP is as effective as F2F in reducing psychological distress, and that clients can establish a stable working alliance in VCP over time, even if they initially experience difficulties in adapting to the online mode. Moreover, the reciprocal influence of working alliance and treatment outcomes in VCP is similar to that in F2F. This study offers empirical support for the use of VCP, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • The Creative Processing Mechanism of YiXiang(Imagery) Reconstruction in Classical Chinese Poetry

    Subjects: Psychology >> Cognitive Psychology submitted time 2023-09-06

    Abstract: Reading and appreciating Chinese classical poetry is a psychological process of readers' aesthetic re-creation. This creative processing targets the artistic YiXiang (意象) constructed by poets through "blending sentiment into scenery", and featuring three psychological processing characteristics: cognitive metaphoricality, emotional loadability, and mutual integration of sentiment and scenery (情景交融). And this creative processing produces the aesthetic Yixiang which has both the objective perceptual representation and readers' subjective thoughts and emotions. Reconstructing artistic Yixiang into aesthetic Yixiang constitutes the core creative processing of reading and appreciating Chinese classical poetry. And its psychological mechanism involves information activation and selective integration in readers' long term memory systems. Specifically, with the support of semantic memory and episodic memory, readers understand the emotion-ladened meaning of Yixiang through semantic association and image construction, and activate corresponding subjective emotional experiences (emotional elements), and generate a situation model of poetry discourse (cognitive elements). On this basis, readers selectively integrate relevant cognitive and emotional elements with their self-related schema in autobiographical memory under an aesthetic goal, thereby establishing novel connections and generating new ideas and concepts. This process is mainly constrained by the novelty of the artistic YiXiang and the readers' capability of creative imagination. This interdisciplinary theoretical study calls on creativity researchers to pay attention to the creative processing on the view of Chinese traditional cultural and focus on the hot-cognitive process of creativity.

  • Developmental change and stability of social anxiety from toddlerhood to young adulthood: A three-level meta-analysis of longitudinal studies

    Subjects: Psychology >> Developmental Psychology submitted time 2023-04-11

    Abstract: Given the high prevalence rate and its extensive possible adverse outcomes, a large number of theoretical and longitudinal studies have explored the development of social anxiety, but the research findings are inconsistent or even contradictory in preschool childhood, late childhood, and adolescence. In addition, there is still debate between trait theory and state theory of social anxiety, and there is also a lack of study on the age trend of social anxiety stability. 
    To clarify the above controversies and accurately characterize the age trend of the mean level and the stability of social anxiety, this study conducted a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies involving social anxiety. After pre-registering the study protocol on PROSPERO, we searched literature in six databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, Web of Science, ProQuest, PubMed, andEBOSCO). In addition, we also backtracked the references cited in previous meta-analyses and reviews. Ultimately, a total of 192 independent samples (N = 170,192) from 173 longitudinal studies were included in the current meta-analysis. In order to quantify the trajectory of social anxiety more precisely, we divided the sample into 11 age groups according to the mean age of the sample between two adjacent measurement waves, and estimated the mean-level change and stability for each age group. The standardized mean difference (d) between two adjacent waves is used to estimate mean-level change, whereas the correlation coefficient (r) is used to estimate stability. Science most of the included studies reported multiple effect sizes, and these multiple effect sizes were most likely dependent, which violated the basic assumption of independent effect sizes in the conventional meta-analytic methods. We applied the three-level meta-analysis approach to handle such data-independency among effect sizes. 
    Results showed that: (1) The mean level of social anxiety showed a gradual decline from toddlerhood to early adulthood, with only slight increase in mid-adolescence. (2) In terms of rank-order stability, social anxiety rose slowly from toddlerhood to preschool childhood, then swiftly dropped to a low point in elementary childhood, recovered gradually after mid-adolescence, and stabilized at a high level in young adulthood. (3) The mean-level change of social anxiety was not affected by the study characteristics, the participant characteristics, and the variable characteristics. (4) The rank-order stability of social anxiety was moderated by written language, continent, culture, gender, and assessment mode. (5) The stability of social anxiety was a logarithmic function with time lag. Specifically, with the increase of time lag, the stability declined first quickly and then slowly, and almost reached a plateau after 6 years. (6) The results of moderator test for publication status, Egger's test, and Begg's test indicated the absence of publication bias in this meta-analysis. 
    This study makes a valuable contribution in characterizing the age-specific trends and stability of social anxiety from toddler to young adult by using the meta-analytic method. We conclude from this study that, in terms of mean level, the trajectory of social anxiety generally supports the personality maturation hypothesis. For stability, similar to personality traits, social anxiety tend to be a trait rather than a state construct. Overall, this study provides a new perspective for exploring the lifelong development of social anxiety.

  • 来自屏幕的纽带:视频聊天与儿童发展

    Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2023-03-28 Cooperative journals: 《心理科学进展》

    Abstract: In recent years, with the growing popularity of internet-based devices, children are increasing exposed to various applications, especially video chat. Researchers begin to explore the potential influence of video chat on children's development. It was found that compared with traditional communication technology, video chat had the feature of audio-visual combination and real-time interaction. However, video chat still maintains the two-dimensional feature as traditional screen media. By summarizing current research focused on video chat and children's learning, it is found that compared with yoked video learning, video chat had a positive effect on children's vocabulary learning (d = 0.33) and movement learning (d = 0.90). Moreover, video chat helped children to maintain a high level of attention in the learning process (d = 0.90). Compared with traditional video learning, the advantage of video chat learning lies in that it can provide children with two different kinds of social cues: the relevance feedback provided by on-screen teachers and other social cues provided by the co-viewer in the scene, which can effectively improve the occurrence of video deficit to a certain extent and help children transfer the knowledge learned on the screen to the real world. At present, researches on video chat and children’s social development mainly focuses on the long-distance parent-child relationship and peer relationship. It is found that video chat has the potential to maintain or form secure attachment for children who are experiencing parent-child separation, and can promote the long-distance parent-child relationship to some extent. Meanwhile, studies found children can successfully carry out a series of free games with a long-distance partner through video chat. The remote interactive environment of mutual gaze created by video chat can also improve the sense of presence and mutual understanding between children and their partners in remote games. In addition to helping normal children with learning and social development, video chat can be used as an adjunctive therapy for intervention of children with disorders (e.g., ASD, Obesity), to help them improve their health and social skills. Future research might focus on expanding the age range of children in video chat learning, the influence of children’s previous experience with media and the different supportive behaviors of co-viewers on children’s video chat learning. Future research should also further explore the impact of video chat on children’s social development under the condition of long-term separation. And whether children’s video chats with other family members can help strengthen family bonds and encourage distant family members to become more involved in each other's lives, thus promoting children’s development.

  • 阅读进度反馈信息对工作同盟和咨询效果的影响

    Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2023-03-27 Cooperative journals: 《心理学报》

    Abstract: Progress feedback involves collecting patients’ ratings on treatment outcome by session and providing feedback to therapists on patient progress. Research has indicated that the positive effect of progress feedback on psychotherapy outcome is a promising advancement. However, a recent meta-analysis showed that progress feedback may only have a small to medium effect for non-severe patients. Also, the theory which explains the effect of progress feedback is very much limited. Before implementing progress feedback in China, it is necessary to test its effect on working alliance and treatment outcomes in a natural setting.It is believed that Chinese are taught to obey their parents, respect elders, and restrain themselves to keep family harmony. Such schemas are subsequently transferred to their social life in the forms of respecting authority/superior, maintaining interpersonal harmony, which will lead to an indirect style of communication. Progress feedback from patients’ weekly reports can be used as a correction method for incongruences between therapists and patients without discussing it immediately and face-to-face, and thus can improve the quality of working alliance and treatment outcomes. The current study used a culturally-adapted version of progress feedback in a university counseling center. Research assistants collected patients’ ratings on working alliance and treatment outcomes and emailed the results with interpretations to the therapists, who were then encouraged to use feedback information to improve treatment outcomes.The participants included 48 therapists and 445 patients (of which 350 were used for analysis). Post survey indicated that 80% therapists read progress feedback information based on which they were divided into feedback and non-feedback group. CORE-OM10 was used to evaluate symptoms before each session, and WAQ was used to evaluate the working alliance after each session. PHQ-9, GAD-7, and CORE-OM-34 were used before and after treatment. Multi-level structural equation models were used to analyze the data. Results showed that progress feedback had a medium effect on working alliance but no effect on treatment outcomes (measured by CORE-OM) at the between-person level. At the within-person level, the results affirmed the reciprocal model of alliance-outcome, which indicated that the model is consistent and steady across cultures. In addition, the feedback group had better treatment outcomes measured by PHQ-9 and self-rated helpfulness measured after treatment.The results were discussed under the three possible mechanisms of progress feedback. Progress feedback may correct the bias of the therapist’s self-evaluation on treatment process, as well as the incongruence and alliance ruptures between therapists and patients. The cultural-specific factors may also contribute to the effect of progress feedback (e.g., indirect communication style). The support from regular supervision for therapists under progress feedback was emphasized as well. Overall, the present study suggested the positive effect of progress feedback on the working alliance and treatment outcomes in a Chinese counseling center based on practical evidence.

  • The Gradedness and Richness of Consciousness: Two Pathways toward Decoding Consciousness

    Subjects: Psychology >> Cognitive Psychology submitted time 2023-01-14

    Abstract:

    The Gradedness of consciousness refers to whether conscious processing follows an “all-or-none” or “gradual” mode. The Richness of consciousness refers to whether conscious representations are “rich” or “sparse”. Our consciousness experience is explored from these two perspectives, i.e., the quality and the scope of processing, respectively. These two topics represent two important pathways toward decoding one of the basic scientific inquiries of mankind, i.e., Consciousness, in that any theory of consciousness formation must provide comprehensive, accurate, and reasonable explanations to them. In this review article, we first performed a thorough analysis of recent research progress for these two topics, aiming to clarify existing contradictions and ongoing debates between different explanatory views. Next, we indicated that these two research topics are intrinsically connected since each can be traced back to the long-standing disputations on whether cognitive access is necessary for the formation of consciousness. Finally, we carried out detailed analyses and discussions on how to advance the studies of the Gradedness and Richness of consciousness, and on how to provide an integrated interpretation to the complex performance of them under different experimental situations.

  • A standardized checklist on reporting meta-analysis in open science era

    Subjects: Psychology >> Statistics in Psychology submitted time 2022-07-30

    Abstract: Meta-analysis is a crucial tool for accumulating evidence in basic and applied research. In the open science era, meta-analysis becomes an important way for integrating open data from different sources. Meanwhile, because of the great researchers’ degree introduced by multiple-step and multiple-choices in each step of meta-analysis, the openness and transparency are crucial for reproducing results of meta-analysis. To (1) understand the transparency and openness of meta-analysis reports published in Chinese journals and (2) improve the transparency and openness of future meta-analysis by Chinese researchers, we developed a Chinese version of checklist for meta-analysis, which was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis protocols (PRISMA) and the principle of openness and transparency, and then surveyed the methods and results of 68 meta-analysis papers in mainstream Chinese psychological journals in last five years. Our results revealed that openness and transparency of Chinese meta-analysis reports need to be improved, especially in the following aspects: the date/time and limitation of literature search, the details of screening and data collection, the flow chart of article screening, the details of effect size transformation, and the evaluation of individual research bias. The checklist we present, which lists almost all aspects that an open meta-analysis should include, can be used as a guide for future meta-analysis.

  • Cross-temporal changes of college students’ time management disposition in the mainland of China during 1999 ~ 2020

    Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2022-03-03

    Abstract:

    The socio-ecological modle highlighted the important role of diachronic systems and macro-systems in the mental health of the yonth. But indirect evidence suggested that there was no clear trend in the time management disposition of Chinese college students. Moreover, existing research focuses on the impact of individual factors and micro systems on the time management disposition of college students. No research from the macro-perspectives has been made. This research, therefore, adopted the cross-temporal meta-analysis method to analyze 215 papers (N = 103876) published between 1999 and 2020, which adopted the Adolescence Time Management Disposition Inventory (ATMDI). Our results showed that: (1) The time management disposition of Chinese college students has declined steadily in the past 22 years, among which the sense of time value stayed stable while the sense of time control and the sense of time efficacy were on the decline; (2) Seven social indicators, namely socioeconomic factors (GDP, household consumption level and urbanization rate), employment factors (the number of college graduates and registered urban unemployment rate) and Internet factors (Internet availability and weekly Internet using hours of netizens), significantly predicted the decline in the time management disposition of college students; (3) there were no significant gender and regional differences in the time management disposition of college students in China. The research pioneered to verify the declining trend in the time management disposition of college students from the mainland of China, and came up with the influencing mechanism model on the time management disposition of college students, which includes the social macro factors.

  • Collective narcissism: Concept, research, and reflections

    Subjects: Psychology >> Personality Psychology Subjects: Psychology >> Social Psychology submitted time 2022-02-15

    Abstract:

    Collective narcissism is the group-level equivalent of individual narcissism and is currently defined as the belief that one’s own group is exceptional and entitled to privileged treatment but it is not sufficiently recognized by others. Current research findings show that it has relatively strong explanatory power for intergroup hostility, because collective narcissists are hypersensitive to threats to their in-group image, status, or identity, and are prone to overestimate threats and suspect out-groups; and that lacking sense of self-worth and personal control is one important source of collective narcissism. Although collective narcissism is preconceived in current research as fragile and negative, its attributes are not necessarily so. Thus, future studies on it should first clarify its concept and structure; then, continue to explore its negative and positive consequences, its multiple causes and interventions; and in the meantime, advance cross-cultural research.

  • Cognitive neural mechanism of boundary processing in spatial navigation

    Subjects: Psychology >> Cognitive Psychology submitted time 2022-01-30

    Abstract:

    Boundaries are obstacles with extended surfaces in the spatial environment and contribute significantly to the spatial navigation for humans and animals. Cognitive developmental studies found that children could reorient successfully by using the geometry of the boundary when they were disoriented at the age of 1.5~2 years old, and gradually using the vertical information until they were 3.1~4.7 years old, length information until the age of 4~5, and visual opaqueness information until the age of 5 years old in navigation. In addition, neuroimaging studies in adults have found that the medial temporal lobe and parietal lobe play different roles in boundary processing. Specifically, the boundary geometry and constituent elements were represented in the parahippocampal place area and the retrosplenial complex. Furthermore, the navigational affordance for a boundary was represented in the occipital parietal area. Finally, encoding and retrieval of the boundary-based object’s location were associated with the hippocampus. Several issues are unaddressed that should be investigated in future. First, future studies should explore the comprehensive cognitive processes of boundary-based navigation and its development trajectory. Second, further research could explore the functional interaction between the medial temporal lobe and posterior parietal cortex. Third, we could pay attention to the distinctions and associations between the cognitive neural mechanisms of the boundary and geometry center encoding. Forth, further study could investigate specific behavioral impairment of boundary-based navigation in individuals with at-genetic-risk Alzheimer’s disease. Finally, we could about the boundary influence mechanisms in long-term memory, time estimation, visual space, and social networks.

  • Emotional processing mechanism in ancient poetry reading: Evidence from eye movements

    Subjects: Psychology >> Educational Psychology submitted time 2021-01-06

    Abstract: Most of the traditional ancient poetry appreciation uses the method of theoretical analysis to analyze the authors and texts of ancient poetry from the perspective of literature. This study is the first to explore the emotional processing mechanism of learners' poetry appreciation. Eye-tracking technology is used to record the eye movement track of readers when they read the whole poem in real time. Starting from the emotional understanding of ancient poetry, the processing process of "cheerful scene" and "sadness scene" in natural reading of the whole ancient poem are investigated. The results showed that the feelings perceived by the learners were consistent with those expressed in the ancient poems, that is, "sorrow in cheerful scene is more obvious when it is written". The results of eye movement also showed that the number of the learners' glances in the negative area of interest was significantly higher than that in the positive area of interest. However, there was no significant difference in the first fixation time between the positive and negative areas. This study is of great significance for constructing the cognitive learning theory of Chinese classical poetry and exploring the effective learning methods of poetry.

  • Effects of prior knowledge on cognitive mechanisms in classical poetry learning: evidence from eye movement

    Subjects: Psychology >> Educational Psychology submitted time 2021-01-06

    Abstract: Most of the traditional ancient poetry appreciation uses the method of theoretical analysis to analyze the authors and texts of ancient poetry from the perspective of literature. This study is the first to explore the cognitive differences in the appreciation of poetry among learners with different levels of poetry prior knowledge. Eye-tracking technology is used to record the eye-movement track of readers in the process of reading the whole poem in real time. From the perspective of refining words at the text level of ancient poetry, the early and late processing process of natural reading the whole ancient poem is examined. The results show that prior knowledge has a significant influence on the learning effect of poetry. There is no significant difference between different experience learners in the early stage of processing the text of poetry. In the late stage of processing, learners with different prior knowledge have different reading patterns and are influenced by the difficulty of poetry. Specifically, when poetry is less difficult or moderate, the fixation count and return count of "refining words" in poetry in the low poetry experience level group is significantly higher than that in the high poetry experience level group. When poetry was difficult, there was no significant difference in the index of late eye movement between the high and low poetry prior knowledge groups. This study is of great significance for constructing the cognitive learning theory of Chinese classical poetry and exploring the effective learning methods of poetry.

  • Walking on the Mental Number Line in Virtual Reality:Based on Bayesian Analysis

    Subjects: Psychology >> Cognitive Psychology submitted time 2021-01-06

    Abstract: At present, Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC effect) has been widely studied in the field of cognitive psychology. However, few studies have examined the effect of SNARC effect on real life activities (such as walking). This study explores the effect of number magnitude cognitive representation on the activation of spatial direction movement from the perspective of embodied cognition. When different amounts of stimuli were present in the virtual environment, whether the experimental paradigm of "mental number line" of newborn chickens and the results which has been published on science by Rugani, Vallortigara, Priftis and Regolin (2015a) could be transferred to human beings. This study attempts to use Bayesian analyses to make full use of the prior information of bias information which may exist in the subjects and the bias information of the participants in each trial, so as to obtain the bias of the participants in the presentation of different amounts of stimuli. But we did not get very persuasive data, and analyzed the possible reasons.
