The relationship between culture and psychology was shown to be compelling. The current study first reviewed the research on animal cultural phenomena, and proposed that innovation and social learning are the important factors that drive culture. Human beings have created different types of cultures in adapting to different living environments. Different cultures have shaped different mental models to make specific behaviors more adaptable in the corresponding environment. Cultural practices influence natural selection and enhance human survival skills. When people have more resources to accumulate and obtain better food resources, adequate nutrition promotes the increase of brain capacity. These brains further promote innovation ability and social learning ability. The coevolution of culture and psychology has made humans the most innovative and culturally dependent species.

The haptic experience is part of human body experience. Embodied cognition theory assumes that physical experience participates in and influences cognition. This research discussed the metaphoric mapping relationship between haptic experience and abstract concepts and its impact on individual judgment and human interactive behavior from different dimensions including soft and hard, rough and smooth, and also temperature haptic. Based on that, the paper further discussed about the mental mechanism underlying it and the interaction among different haptic metaphors. It is possible for future researches to pay more attention on the role of emotion in haptic metaphors, to enrich research methods and experimental techniques, and to strengthen possible applications of haptic metaphor in different areas.

Accurate metacomprehension monitoring is a prerequisite for successful self-regulated learning. Existing studies have shown that the accuracy of individual metacomprehension monitoring is generally low and text features are important influencing factors, including text difficulty, text genre, text presentation mode and so on. Based on the review of existing researches, the influence of text features on the metacomprehension monitoring accuracy and its internal mechanism is discussed, and pointed out future research directions in this field. For example, the moderation of text difficulty on text features and the metacomprehension monitoring accuracy, the interaction between text features and learner features and use uniform standards to measure individual’s metaconcomprehension monitoring accuracy.

Based on The Cohesive Model of Stress and The Uncertainty Management Theory， two studies were conducted to investigate the impact of intergroup threat on ego depletion and the role of self-uncertainty in it. In study 1， we measured intergroup threat， self-uncertainty and ego depletion by questionnaire. We found that intergroup threat were positively correlated with ego depletion， and self-uncertainty played a part of intermediary role between intergroup threat and ego depletion； In study 2， the experimental method was used to manipulate intergroup threat， and the subjective completion scale and objective completion of Stroop task were used to measure ego depletion. It was found that intergroup threat would lead to subjective ego depletion， and self-uncertainty had a partial mediating effect； Symbolic threats could induce objective ego depletion， and self-uncertainty plays a part of mediating role. Research shows that intergroup threat will lead to ego depletion， and self-uncertainty is the intermediary factor between the two variables.

In this paper, three studies were conducted to explore how nostalgia affects intertemporal decision-making and the moderating role of self-continuity. In study 1, questionnaire method was used to find a significant positive correlation between individual nostalgia proneness and savings intention. In study 2, we used the experimental method to prime the individual’s nostalgic emotion, and verified again that nostalgia can enhance the long-term preference in intertemporal decision-making. In study 3, we further explored the moderating effect of self-continuity in the impact of nostalgia on intertemporal decision-making, and found that nostalgia could enhance the long-term preference of intertemporal decision-making for individuals with low self-continuity. For individuals with high self-continuity, nostalgia could enhance the short-term preference of intertemporal decision-making. This paper not only enriches the empirical research results of nostalgia affecting individual behavior, but also provides a new perspective for future intertemporal decision-making research.

The bottom-line mentality refers to a one-dimensional mindset in which an individual or organization only focuses on bottom line outcomes and ignores competing organizational priorities. As research on BLM continues to develop, recent research has turned from the disadvantages to the benefits of BLM. Furthermore, research on BLM has not only focused its role in the work domain but also began to consider how it relates to the family domain. Social exchange theory, social cognitive theory, social information processing theory, conservation of resource theory, etc., were used to explain the underlying path and internal mechanism of the effects of BLM. Research on BLM is still in its infancy. More research is needed to explore the impact of BLM at the individual and organizational level. Future studies can also investigate the functional and dysfunctional effects of BLM across different cultures. And studies that use more diversified methods and theory perspectives to investigate the antecedents and consequences of supervisors’ and employees’ BLM are needed. Research that continues to investigate the processes and conditions to further understand how and when BLM becomes deleterious and beneficial is also encouraged.

Based on social cognitive theory, this study attempted to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial knowledge on fresh college graduates’ entrepreneurial intention, especially to probe the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the moderating role of role model. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 423 fresh college graduates from four universities in Jiangsu province. The results showed that entrepreneurial knowledge had a significant positive predictive effect on fresh college graduates’ entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial intention. The entrepreneurial role models from both parents and friends had significant negative moderating effects on the relationship between entrepreneurial knowledge and entrepreneurial intention. Specifically, when fresh college graduates had entrepreneurial role models to learn, the promotion effect of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intention will be weakened; On the contrary, the promotion effect of entrepreneurial knowledge on entrepreneurial intention was more obvious.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of musical training experience on the SMARC effect of individuals in horizontal, vertical, and near/far directions. A set of materials with crescendo or decreasing loudness from a drum set were adopted in this study. Results showed that, compared with the subjects without music training experience, subjects under music training experience performed longer fixation duration to the far distance with the gradually decreasing loudness, and have an advantage in response to the near position when under the gradually crescendo loudness. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the horizontal and vertical orientation. This study revealed that music training experience can promote the formation of loudness SMARC effect in the far and near spatial orientation of individuals.

In order to explore the relationship between parental psychological control, personal sense of power, subjective well-being, and smartphone addiction as well as their internal mechanism, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1312 college students. The results showed as follows. （1） In addition to the significant positive correlation between parental psychological control and college students’ smartphone addiction, the others were significantly negative correlation in each pair; （2） Parental psychological control mainly affected college students’ smartphone addiction through the single mediating effect of personal sense of power and subjective well-being. Meanwhile, it also affected college students’ smartphone addiction through the chain mediating effect of personal sense of power and subjective well-being, but it played a “mask” effect on the overall effect.

Based on the perspective of positive psychology, this study intends to explore the relationship between tolerant-understanding rearing style, academic interest, sense of academic meaning and the development of middle school students' grit, and the mechanism of academic interest and sense of academic meaning in the relationship between tolerant understanding rearing style and grit quality. A sample of 2101 middle school students was recruited for the survey research. Results showed the following： Tolerance-understanding rearing style, academic interest, academic sense of meaning and academic grit quality were significantly positive correlation; Academic interest and sense of academic meaning played significant mediating role between the tolerant understanding of the parenting style and the academic girt quality of middle school students, including three specific pathways： the separate mediation effect of academic interest and academic sense of significance, and the serial mediation effect of academic interest and academic sense of significance. This study reveals that tolerance-understanding rearing style can promote the development of middle school students’ academic interest and sense of academic meaning, and thus improve their academic grit quality. The conclusion of the study had important reference value for intervening and enhancing the middle school students’ academic grit quality.
