Whether high creative people are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia spectrum diseases is a research hotspot. There is an inverted U-shaped relationship between creativity and schizophrenia, and the shared vulnerability modelcan help explain the relationship between them. Specifically, psychoticism and schizotypy are the personality traits associated with creativity in schizophrenic pedigree disorder. Excessive inclusive thinking and low cognitive inhibition may be the cognitive processing characteristics associated with schizophrenia spectrum disorder and creativity. The related brain structures include the decrease of forebrain gray matter volume, the decrease of FA value of subfrontal white matter fibers and the variation of cingulate cortex structure; The similarity of brain function includes the obvious activation of frontal lobe and cingulate gyrus, the activity of Default Mode Network and the decrease of cerebral hemisphere asymmetry. Polygenic risk score (PRS) showed that there is significant positive gene overlap between creativity and schizophrenia. The receptor molecules involve gene polymorphism of dopamine system and serotonin system gene. Future research should further focus on specific cognitive mechanism and neuroscience mechanism, expand the field of creativity and the selection of creativity measurement tools, strengthen the exploration of the rehabilitation intervention plan of schizophrenic patients with creativity activities, and carry out further research, improvement and revision according to the actual situation of China.

In this study, to further understand the processes of time-based prospective memory, three experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of invisible cues on time-based prospective memory from different perspectives. The purpose of Experiment 1A was to investigate the performance differences of time-based prospective memory under different ongoing task cue conditions; Experiment 1B aimed to examine the effects of cues in different interference task conditions on time-based prospective memory; Experiment 2 aimed to examine the effects of different cues from embed prospective memory task and ongoing task on time-based prospective memory. The results showed that: (1) Effective covert cues could promote time-based prospective performance. For covert cues suggesting the retrospective component of time-based prospective memory, the temporal cues which either hidden in the ongoing task or in the interfered task, significantly improved the performance of time-based prospective memory. (2) Cues appearing in the ongoing task could improve the performance of time-based prospective memory more than in the interfered task, indicating that the closer the cue was to the target time, the greater the facilitation effect was. (3) Cues of time-based prospective memory tasks could promote the performance of time-based prospective memory, while those of event-based prospective memory tasks could not. Our study supports the random walk model.

For investigating the roles of semantic size and number of stimuli in asymmetric visual search, we adopted the different semantic sizes of Chinese characters and instructed the participants to search target stimulus in two types of stimulus numbers: 6 and 12. Results showed that: (1) When the number of stimuli was 6, the search efficiency of the target with the small semantic size was higher than that of the target with the large semantic size; (2) When the number of stimuli was 12, the search efficiency of the target with the larger semantic size was higher than that of the target with smaller semantic size; (3) When the semantic size of the interferential stimuli and the target stimuli were the same, the search efficiency of the interferential stimuli with more number and large semantic size was slower. This study confirmed the interaction of spatial and numerical representations in asymmetric visual search, which supported embodied cognition theory, and extended the feature integration theory and guided search model.

Employee’s voice behavior is an important role in an organization’s innovation and development. The emergence and function of voice behavior cannot be separated from the situation of the organization. This study aimed to explore the role of temporal landmarks in the process of employee voice by changing the situation. This study discussed how to use the nudge mechanism and took appropriate methods to change the situation to promote employee voice. The study proposed that the influence of temporal landmarks on employee voice was a process that was nudged by external contextual factors, thus affecting employees’ intrinsic voice motivation. The employee voice motivation promoted employee voice behavior, while the change of situation can enhance employee voice motivation and promote employees to have more voice behavior. This process included two steps: The first step was to generate voice motivation through temporal landmarks, that is, the comparison between the present voice-self and the expected future voice-self promotes induced employee voice motivation. The second step was to enhance employees’ voice motivation through the changed of situation to make their employees produce more voice behavior. From the perspective of the nudge, we explored how to use the nudge mechanism and adopted appropriate methods to promote employees’ voice behavior by changing the situation. This integration perspective was helpful for researchers to understand the influencing factors and internal mechanism of employee’s voice behavior, and had important practical implications for promoting the development of the organization.

In order to develop emotional intelligence scale for tennis players, by interviewing and investigating the feelings of the athletes of level 2 (and above), we formed a preliminary measurement table with 52 entries. After preliminary test, The formal scale was comprised of four dimensions: Emotional perception, emotional expression, emotional evaluation and emotional regulation, with a total of 28 items. There was high reliability (consistency coefficient and test-retest reliability) and validity (construct validity, concurrent validity) in scale, moreover, it could predict sports performance, which could be used as an effective tool to measure the emotional intelligence of Chinese tennis players.

This paper investigates how people balance their moral self and self-interest preferences when making social decisions, drawing on the theory of self-concept maintenance, the moral threshold model, and relevant research findings. It proposes that individuals seek a balance between self-interest preferences and moral self, thereby exhibiting a behavioral pattern characterized by minor transgressions and minor acts of kindness. While individuals may encounter threats to their moral self, the existence of a moral threshold enables them to maintain a high regard for their moral self. Future research can further work within this balancing framework to enhance and refine our understanding of social decision-making.

We discussed the influence of college students’ loneliness on the use of problematic social networking sites based on 544 college students from Shanghai. The results showed that loneliness positively predicted problematic social networking sites use. Meanwhile, loneliness also positively predicted social anxiety and negatively predicted social self-efficacy. In addition, college students with higher social anxiety have lower social self-efficacy and more serious use of problematic social networking sites,that is social anxiety and social self-efficacy play a chain mediating role between loneliness and problematic social networking sites use.

In order to explore the relationship and the underlying mechanism between class environment and academic stress of senior high school students, the present study constructed a moderated mediation model by questionnaire survey method with a sample of 870 senior high school students. The results showed that: (1) Teacher-student relationship, classmates’ relationship in class environment negatively predicted academic stress, while competition and academic burden in class environment positively predicted academic stress. (2) The comparative orientation and self-deprecation of academic social comparison played a mediating role between class competition and academic stress. (3) Self-concept clarity moderated the first half of the mediating model of “class competition → comparative orientation → academic stress” and the first half of the mediating model of “class competition → self- deprecation → academic stress”. Conclusion: Class competition predicted academic stress through academic social comparative orientation and self-deprecation, and self-concept clarity regulated the mediating role of comparative orientation and self-deprecation.

The present study explored the influence of achievement goal orientation on academic achieve-ment in senior school students and the mediating effect of self-regulated learning. A serious of question-naires was used to survey 1 389 senior one and senior two students, and their academic achievements were tracked at two-time waves half year apart. The results showed that: 1)mastery approach goal and mastery avoidance goal significantly positively predicted concurrent and longitudinal academic achievement, and performance avoidance goal significantly negatively predicted concurrent and longitudinal academic achieve-ment; 2) performance approach goal, mastery approach goal and mastery avoidance goal indirectly and positively predicted concurrent and longitudinal academic achievement through self-regulated learning, and achievement avoidance goal indirectly and negatively predicted concurrent and longitudinal academic achievement through self- regulated learning. The above findings provide empirical research support for se-nior high school students to establish achievement goals and improve self -regulated learning abilty, to promote academic achievement.
