The sociality of human being determined that a lot of emotion regulation takes place in interpersonal interaction. The process of using interpersonal resources to regulate the emotions of ourselves and others in interpersonal interaction is defined as interpersonal emotion regulation. At present, researches on interpersonal emotion regulation can be divided into two categories： Goal perspective and process perspective. From the perspective of process, interpersonal emotion regulation is a process of bilateral or multilateral interaction. Interpersonal emotion regulation could be used as a tool in several fields, such as individual mental health, special group therapy, and organizational atmosphere development. Using it appropriately could promote a positive development of personal and group emotions. Further research should focus on internal mechanism, research of localization, and strategy integration.

In recent years, people have become increasingly worried about the overuse of digital technology. Digital well-being is the beneficial influence of digital technology on life in an information society based on digital media and digital devices. It is an experience state that achieves an optimum balance between connection and withdrawal from people and digital devices, including the positive experience of using digital technology, avoiding information overload, anxiety or exclusion, and cultivating smart device habits. Several psychometric tools for digital well-being have been developed. The structures include new dimensions such as digital interaction quality, digital security, and digital literacy improvement, and they also involve the overlapping parts of satisfaction, emotional experience, and quality of life with general well-being. The influencing factors of digital well-being can be integrated under the theoretical framework of self-determination theory （SDT）, planned behavior theory （TPB）, technology acceptance model （TAM） and digital well-being dynamic system model. Future research directions include developing a localized and online adapted digital well-being scale and using digital self-control tools to improve digital well-being.

The speed of our hand movements can be affected by concurrent processing of manual action verbs. While this phenomenon is well established for native languages （L1）, it remains underexplored in foreign language （L2）. In this paper, we used “action semantics in typing” paradigm, which allowed to time keystroke operations during word typing. 79 Chinese-English bilinguals participated in the study and the results showed that： （1） L1 results showed that the effect of stimulus type was not significant in the FLL stage, but there was an interference effect in the WWL stage, which supported the hypothesis of embodied language cognition effect; （2） L2 results showed that in the FLL and WWL stages, the overall performance of verbs writing was primed, but the writing of manual action verbs （MaVs） were interfered compared with non-manual action verbs （nMaVs）, which supported the hypothesis of HANDLE model; （3） Language proficiency affected writing planning and writing execution, but did not affect the motor-semantics coupling effect.

Using the classic psychological refractory period paradigm, the two tasks use high and low frequency discrimination （task 1） and true words or fake words （task 2） as experimental materials, and the purpose was to detect the overlapping dual-task processing, the interference between the two tasks was caused by the adjustment mechanism of the bottleneck or the restriction mechanism caused by insufficient cognitive resources. It was found that in the overlapping dual-task processing, the response selection processing of task 1 produced a very noticeable interference with the response selection processing of task 2. The shorter the SOA was, the more significant the PRP effect. The reaction selection of task 2 also produced significant reverse interference of the reaction selection of task 1, and the two tasks restricted each other during the processing. Emphasizing priority processing right of task 1 also cannot avoid the mutual interference between the two tasks. The research results support the hypothesis of the central cognitive resource sharing model that the main reason for the mutual interference of dual tasks is the lack of total cognitive resources, and that the two tasks compete for limited cognitive resources at the same time, which leads to a decrease in the work efficiency of the two tasks.

In order to investigate the effect of time pressure on prospective memory in school-age children under different task difficulty conditions, experiment 1 explored the impact of time pressure on prospective memory under different ongoing task difficulty conditions, while experiment 2 further increased the difficulty of prospective memory tasks to explore whether the damaging effect of time pressure on prospective memory is affected by the difficulty of prospective memory tasks. The results of experiment 1 showed that the accuracy of prospective memory in the time pressure group was lower than that in the control group only under low difficulty conditions, while experiment 2 found that under the condition of increasing prospective memory difficulty, the accuracy of prospective memory in the time pressure group was also lower than that in the control group. This indicated that the damaging effect of time pressure on prospective memory was influenced by the difficulty of ongoing tasks, but not by the difficulty of prospective memory tasks. Both experiment 1 and experiment 2 revealed that the response speed of the ongoing and prospective memory tasks in the time pressure group was faster than that of the control group, indicating that time pressure accelerated the individual’s response speed, which validates the trade-off between speed and accuracy.

Given the ambiguity surrounding the concept and structure of fertility anxiety, this study conducted an in-depth investigation among Chinese 29 men and women of childbearing age through semi-structured interviews. The aim was to clarify the structural connotation of fertility anxiety within the Chinese childbearing population. The findings indicated that fertility anxiety among Chinese individuals of childbearing age manifested primarily in five aspects： child growth anxiety, childbirth anxiety, negative impact anxiety, parenting effectiveness anxiety, and parenting support anxiety. This study shed light on the specific components of fertility anxiety, offering an empirical foundation for understanding and addressing such anxieties. Furthermore, it assists relevant departments and institutions in formulating more precise fertility policies and support measures.

From the perspective of moral cognition, this paper empirically explored the mediation effect of moral disengagement between abusive supervision and employee’s counterproductive work behavior（CWB）, and discussed the moderating role of supervisor’s organizational embodiment（SOE） in this process. An empirical study based on 343 matching data in two stages showed that： （1） Abusive supervision had a significant positive impact on employees’ CWB; （2） Moral disengagement played a partial mediating role in the process of abusive supervision affecting employees’ CWB; （3） SOE positively moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and moral disengagement. The higher the level of SOE perceived by employees, the stronger the impact of abusive supervision on moral disengagement; （4） SOE further moderated the mediation role employees’ moral disengagement. When the level of SOE was higher, the mediating effect of moral disengagement between abusive supervision and employees’ CWB was more obvious. This study provided a new perspective and insight for understanding the process and boundary of abusive supervision affecting employees’ CWB.

According to the cognitive-affective personality system, individual traits are built on the interaction between the individual and the environment, which is characterized as dynamic, flexible, and adaptive. The present study considerd self-focused and other-focused as two different traits and aimed to explore these two concepts’ content and structure in terms of the orientation and allocation of attention as well as their effect on advice taking. We conducted a semi-structured interview and a nomological network in two studies. The results indicated that self-focused and other-focused attention were two different and independent traits, the former contains self-existence, positive self, and self-management, whereas the latter contained other existence, respect for others, and interactive behaviors. In addition, people with higher other-focused traits were more likely to adopt advice. Our findings contribute to the research on self-other-focused attention and advice-taking literature. The implications, limitations, and future orientations of the present research were discussed as well.

To assess the reliability and validity of the Global Self-Esteem Measure （GSEM） among Chinese college students, a total of 920 college students were tested with the GSEM. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the one-factor structure of the GSEM fit well. The composite reliability and the test-retest reliability of the GSEM were above 0.9 and 0.7, respectively. The mean score of the GSEM was positively correlated with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, satisfaction with life, positive affect, optimism, search for meaning, presence of meaning and basic psychological needs, and was inversely correlated with negative affect, anxiety, depression and stress. Additionally, the configural, metric, scalar, and latent mean invariance of the GSEM based on equivalence testing and alignment across gender were acceptable. In conclusion, the GSEM was verified as a alternative instrument to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to assess trait self-esteem among Chinese college students.

The current study aimed to investigate the effects of peer victimization on adolescents’ depression and happiness, as well as the mediating role of dispositional optimism and age group differences, using the dual-factor model of mental health and the theory of positive psychology. A total of 1693 adolescents from Shandong and Gansu provinces were recruited. Peer victimization, depression, happiness and dispositional optimism of adolescents were measured by self-report questionnaires. The results found： （1） Peer victimization was a significant predictor of depression and happiness in the whole sample, with the effect on depression was stronger than happiness in the whole sample. （2） Peer victimization indirectly predicted adolescents’ depression and happiness via dispositional optimism, both in the whole sample and the younger/older age groups. （3） Further multi-group comparisons revealed that the predictive effect of dispositional optimism on depression was significantly stronger in the older age group than in the younger age group, and the mediating effect of dispositional optimism between peer victimization and depression was significantly stronger in the older age group as well.

This study aimed to explore the effect of cumulative family risk on the hope of secondary vocational students and its underlying mechanism. The Cumulative Family Risk Questionnaire, Hope Questionnaire, Resilience Questionnaire, and School Connectedness Questionnaire were used to conduct an online questionnaire survey among students from grades one to three in a vocational school in Nanjing, and a total of 1705 questionnaires were collected. The results showed： （1） Cumulative family risk negatively predicted secondary vocational students’ hope;（2） Resilience mediated the relationship between cumulative family risk and hope of secondary vocational students; （3） The first half of the mediation pathway （cumulative family risk → resilience） and the second half of the mediation pathway （resilience→hope） were moderated by school connectedness. The results indicated that improving the family environment and enhancing resilience and school connectedness play an equally important role in developing of secondary vocational students’ hope.
