Relationship between just world belief and depression of college students: the multiple mediators of hope and forgiveness / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the influence of just world belief on depression in college students, and to explore the multiple mediating effects of hope and forgiveness.Methods:Totally 290 college students were assessed by belief in a just world scale(BJWS), adult dispositional hope scale(ADHS), Hearland forgiveness scale(HFS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS).Results:The scores of the belief in a just world, hope, forgiveness and depression were 53.90±7.83, 33.67±3.87, 109.75±12.52 and 16.84±8.41, respectively.The belief in a just world was positively correlated with hope( r=0.41, P<0.01) and forgiveness( r=0.40, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with depression( r=-0.38, P<0.01). Hope was positively correlated with forgiveness( r=0.43, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with depression( r=-0.53, P<0.01). Forgiveness had a significantly negative correlation with depression( r=-0.57, P<0.01). Structural equation model showed that the direct effect of the belief in a just world on depression was not statistically significant.The belief in a just world can influence depression by multiple mediators of hope(the effective amount=0.26), hope→forgiveness(the effective amount=0.20), and the model fitted well(χ 2/ df=1.63, RMSEA=0.04, GFI=0.96, NFI=0.98, CFI=0.99). Conclusion:The belief in a just world can influence depression by multiple mediators role of hope, hope→forgiveness.

Relation of social anxiety to self-focused attention and interpersonal needs in college students / 中国心理卫生杂志

Objective: To explore the mediating effects of self-focused attention between social anxiety and interpersonal needs. Methods: Totally 467 college students [159 males and 221 females, mean age (21 ±2)] were assessed with the Social Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Focused Attention Scale (SFAS) and Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (INQ ). The bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect Results: The SFAS and INQ scores were higher in female students than in males (Ps <0.01). The scores of SAS, SFAS, and INQ were positively correlated each other (r = 0.20 - 0.90, Ps < 0.01). Self-focused attention has a full mediating effect between social anxiety and interpersonal needs, and the 95％ confidence interval was (0.34, 0.59). Conclusion: It suggests that the effect of interpersonal needs on social anxiety may be achieved through self-focused attention in college students. Reducing the level of self-focused attention may be an important way to alleviate social anxiety among college students.

The characteristics of attentional bias in high anxiety sensitivity individuals / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of attentional bias in anxiety sensitivity individuals.Methods By using Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI),23 participants were included in the high score group and 20 participants were included in the low score group.Then,2 (between-subject factor:the high and low score group) ×2 (within-subject factor:the positive and negative picture) mixed design experiments were adopted.Emotional faces picture pairs were chosen as stimuli.Picture pairs were presented 100 ms in experiment 1 and 1 250 ms in experiment 2.Dot-probe task was adopted to inspect the attentional bias and the response time and correct rate were recorded.Results Experiment 1 implied the main effect of type of pictures was found in mixed design experiments(F(1,41)=4.40,P＜0.05).The reaction time of two groups in positive pictures was greater than zero((12.22±30.24) ms vs (10.07±21.55) ms).It showed input effect to positive pictures.An input effect due to the reaction time of the high score group was greater than zero to negative pictures((4.81± 17.88)ms),while the low score group tended to avoid the negative pictures ((-6.81 ±21.33) ms).Experiment 2 implied positive score was not significant between two groups (F(1,41) =0.29,P＞0.05).And positive score showed the attentional bias to some certain extent.Significant outcome was found by negative score between two groups (F(1,41) =6.41,P＜0.05).It implied that the high score group tended to avoid the negative pictures and the low score group had the tendency of input effect.Conclusion At the initial stage of attention,anxiety sensitivity individuals had the attentional bias to negative emotional faces and avoidance in the late stage of attention.It suggests that the attentional bias of anxiety sensitivity individuals may have an important effect on the development of the mental disorders.

The moderating effect of positive perfectionism on anxiety and depression / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the impact of negative perfectionism on negative emotion(anxiety,depression) and the moderating effects of positive perfectionism.Methods A study was designed and a sample of 380 college students completed questionnaires including PANPS,SAS and SDS.Results ① Correlation analysis indicated positive perfectionism was negatively correlated with anxiety and depression (r1 =-0.25,P1 ＜0.01,r2 =-0.29,P2＜0.01),while negative perfectionism was positively correlated with anxiety and depression(r1 =0.26,P1 ＜0.01,r2 =0.22,P2＜0.01).② Moderating effects analysis indicated that positive perfectionism significantly moderated the regulating effect of negative perfectionism upon negative emotions(anxiety,depression) (β 1 =-2.64,β2 =-7.67,P＜0.01).Conclusion These findings suggest that the higher level of positive perfectionism,the greater influence of perfectionism on depression and anxiety,and positive perfectionism could buffer the negative perfectionism on anxiety and depression.

Relations among perfectionism, core self-evaluation and job-selecting anxiety of university graduates / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore the mediation role of university graduates' core self-evaluation played between perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.Methods 200 university graduates were investigated by Chinese frost multidimensional perfectionism questionnaires,core self-evaluation scale and self-rating anxiety scale with convenience sampling method.Results ①Job-selecting anxiety had no distinct differences in gender,residence and the aspects of only-child(P＞0.05),but in different subjects,it was different(science and technology(1.79±0.49),culture and history(3.21±0.50),t=-4.38,P＜0.01).② University graduates' positive perfectionism was positively correlated with core self-evaluation (r=0.31,P＜ 0.01),while negatively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r=-0.35,P＜0.01).University graduates' negative perfectionism was negatively correlated with core self-evaluation(r =-0.35,P＜ 0.01),while positively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r =0.42,P＜ 0.01).Simultaneously core self-evaluation was negatively correlated with job-selecting anxiety (r=-0.46,P＜ 0.01).③ Core self-evaluation played a part of the intermediary role between negative perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.The mediating effect was 30.0％ of the total effect.Core self-evaluation played a part of the intermediary role between positive perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.The mediating effect was 34.5％ of the total effect.Conclusion Perfectionism as a personality trait can calculate the level of job-selecting anxiety.Core self-evaluation plays a part of the intermediary role between perfectionism and job-selecting anxiety.It is helpful to the working tactics of university graduates.

An experimental research on implicit and explicit suicide attitude of college students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship of college students'explicit and implicit attitudes to suicide and the feasibility of applying B-IAT to measure their suicide attitude.Methods Explicit suicide attitude was primarily investigated by suicide attitude questionnaire (SAQ),and implicit attitudes experimental study was carried out by suicide brief implicit association test (B-IAT).The subjects of this study included 50 college students,and it was used within-subject design.Results ①Each dimension values of explicit suicide attitude was from 2.5 to 3.5,indicating that the subject~ explicit suicide attitude dominated by neutral or contradictory.②The mean of B-IAT was 0.43,indicating that the subjects' implicit suicide attitude was prone to negative.③College students' suicide explicit and implicit attitudes were statistically no significant correlation,indicating that students implicit suicide attitudes was independent of explicit attitudes.Conclusion It is feasible to measure explicit suicide attitudes by B-IAT.College students' implicit suicide attitudes is independent of explicit attitudes.The results from simple IAT may be more accurately reflects the subjects' true attitudes towards suicide.
