Embodied imagination is a kind of method working with dreams in Jung's analytical psychology. Analyzing the philosophical basis of the theory of embodied imagination and the healing factor of its technique, the following main points can be found. embodied imagination takes the phenomenology as its first and foremost philosophical foundation. It absorbed the presupposition of the complex system and the methodology of “emergence” in the complex theory. The Chinese Taoist thoughts also inspired the creation and development of embodied imagination. Through the working process of embodied imagination, the “individualization” can be realized by means of “transcendental function” so that the integration of personality will be achieved. From the perspective of neurophysiology, the imaginative work on the image of dreams is effective in repairing and reconstruction of the traumatic implicit memory.

Spatial reference frame refers to the way that individuals represent spatial orientation. Specifically, it can be divided into two types: Egocentric reference frame and allocentric reference frame. Using these two different spatial reference frames can better represent spatial orientation in different spatial positions. There was mutual influence between egocentric (EGO) reference frame and allocentric (ALLO) reference frame. However, in the interaction between the two, whether the influence of EGO reference on the representation of ALLO reference was stable was still controversial. In order to investigate whether the influence of EGO reference on ALLO representation was determined by the degree of EGO representation. In Experiment 1, the conflict paradigm of EGO reference and ALLO reference was used to explore the influence of EGO reference on the representation of ALLO reference in far and near spaces. The results showed that the conflict between EGO reference and ALLO reference in the near space was greater than that in the far space in the left visual field. Since the stimulus response compatibility (SRC) can affect the response of the participants. In Experiment 2,the participants were asked to use their left hand to respond. The purpose of Experiment 2 was to investigate whether the visual field difference caused by the influence of EGO reference on ALLO reference representation was caused by SRC. The results showed that the conflict between EGO reference and ALLO reference in near space was greater than that in far space. The results indicated that the degree of EGO representation was an important factor of whether EGO reference affects ALLO reference representation, and the influence of EGO representation was affected by SRC.

Bimodal bilinguals, acquiring a spoken and a signed language, offer a unique window into the architecture of the language processing system since they have the unique opportunity to produce and perceive two languages at the same time with distinct sensory and motor system. There are several difference and common as well between bimodal bilinguals and unimodal bilinguals in language processing. Future studies should further explore bimodal bilinguals on broader sight to explain the nature of bilingual processing.

The present study used experiment to explore the influence of emotions and global-local processing on divergent and convergent thinking of creative thinking. The experiment used three video-clips to induce happy, sad and angry emotions, adopted an adapted Navon-letter task to elicit global/ local processing mode. Then, the participants were asked to complete the alternative use tasks (AUT) and Chinese remote associate task (CRAT) of the creative thinking. The results showed that: (1) Global processing with happy emotion and angry emotion could significantly promote divergent thinking compared with sad emotion; However, in the local processing mode, there were no significant differences in divergent thinking among three emotions; (2) Global processing mode with happy emotion could significantly promote divergent thinking compared with sad emotion and angry emotion; However, in the local processing mode, there were no significant differences in convergent thinking among three emotions.

The present study aimed to explore the influence of accent on speakers and its mechanisms in Chinese culture. After participants listened to the recordings of "Guilin Landscape" (excerpts) in accented Mandarin and Standard Mandarin, they were asked to fill out the Accent Attitude Questionnaire and the Speech Evaluation Instrument, then chose anyone of speakers in the recordings as their supposed game partners. The results showed that: (1) The participants rated accented speakers more negatively than the standard speaker. (2) Attitude towards accent played a mediation role in the process of rating the accented speaker upon listening to the recordings, and 64% of the effects of accent variety on attitude towards speaker were mediated by accent towards accent. (3) Most of the participants (85.71%) tended to choose the standard speaker as their game partner. Further more, attitude toward a speaker was a mediator for accent variety and listeners' behaviors towards that speaker. (4) A chain mediation effect of attitude towards accent and speaker between accent variety and listeners' behaviors towards speaker was found.

Based on the job requirements-resources theory, this study explored the mechanism by which transformational leadership styles affected employees' job well-being. Specifically, a questionnaire survey method was used to investigate the leaders of the enterprise and their direct subordinates, and a combination of self-assessment and others' assessments was used to obtain data on 104 leaders and 886 direct subordinates. The results showed that transformational leadership had a positive effect on employees' job well-being, while employees' job crafting played a partial mediating role between transformational leadership and job well-being. Leader-member exchange (LMX) played a moderating role between transformational leadership and job crafting. Transformational leadership affected job well-being through job crafting, and leader-member exchange positively moderated this mediating pathway. Accordingly, leaders should demonstrate transformational leadership behaviors based on specific situations, provide positive feedback on employees' new ideas, and promote employees' job crafting, thereby improving job well-being.

To investigate the influential mechanism of entrepreneurial adversity on entrepreneurial persistence, based on the cognitive appraisal theory, 270 entrepreneurs across China were surveyed using the scales of entrepreneurial adversity, entrepreneurial persistence, positive affects, negative affects and entrepreneurial resilience. It was found that: (1)Entrepreneurial adversity did not necessarily weaken the tendency to entrepreneurial persistence; (2)Entrepreneurial adversity negatively affected entrepreneurs' positive affects and thus their behavioral tendency to persist in entrepreneurship; (3)Entrepreneurial resilience not only significantly moderated the negative relationship between negative affects and entrepreneurial persistence, but also moderated the mediating effect of negative affects on entrepreneurial adversity and entrepreneurial persistence. This study contributes to the understanding of the mechanism of entrepreneurial adversity on entrepreneurial persistence from an emotional perspective, and can provide inspirations for promoting entrepreneurial persistence behavior and improving the success rate of entrepreneurship.

Criminal thinking style refers to the thinking content and cognitive process that helps to implement and maintain habitual antisocial behavior and criminal behavior. As a distorted cognitive mode, criminal thinking style has a significant positive predictive effect on criminal behavior and recidivism. Criminal thinking style is influenced by demographic variables such as age, education level, personality characteristics such as low self-control, psychosis and situational factors such as family environment and peer relationship. The follow-up research needs to pay more attention to the concept connotation, action mechanism, measurement tools, influencing factors and intervention mechanism of criminal thinking mode.
