  • The Developmental Trajectories of Loneliness in Emerging Adulthood and the Associations With Worldview

    Open AccessZheng Zhou, Chen-xi Liu et al.ARTICLEEmerging Adulthood2026

    This four-wave longitudinal study examined the developmental trajectories of emotional and social loneliness in Chinese emerging adults ( N = 737, 65.1% women; M age t1 = 18.32, SD = 0.78), as well as their associations with worldview beliefs. Results revealed an increasing trend in emotional loneliness, with no significant change observed in social loneliness. After controlling for age and family socioeconomic status (SES), social loneliness was…

  • The Cost of Inequality

    Open AccessPeng Sun, Qing Xie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology2026

    A large number of studies have shown that economic inequality, as a macro social environmental factor, has a significant impact on individual's unethical behavior, but its psychological mechanisms have not been well understood. Based on the existing literature, this paper proposes a three-level model in which economic inequality affects unethical behavior through societal (e.g., immoral and competitive normative climates), interpersonal (e.g., re…

  • Beyond the place

    Open AccessYichang Zha, Yingying Ye et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2026Referencias: 80

    Social avoidance is a prevalent mental health problem. While most previous studies have predominantly focused on interpersonal interventions, these approaches often face challenges. An alternative may lie in considering environmental factors. Based on the internal working model, we propose that attachment to a personally significant place may help reduce social avoidance in general contexts. We conducted three studies employing different methodol…

  • Economic inequality fosters unethical behaviour by promoting the perception of immoral and competitive normative climates

    Open AccessPeng Sun, Hui Li et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2025

    Economic inequality was found to be positively related to unethical behaviours, but the underlying psychological mechanisms have not been well studied. Through five studies, this research explored the psychological mechanisms and boundary conditions between economic inequality and unethical behaviour. Study 1 ( N = 165,622) provided primary evidence for the relationship between inequality and unethical behaviour based on large‐scale publicly avai…

  • Unpacking the factors influencing preferences for redistribution

    Open AccessLuxue Ouyang, Jing Lin et al.ARTICLEAsian Journal Of Social Psychology2025

    Previous research has demonstrated that attributing wealth and poverty to controllable factors reduces redistribution preferences, but often conflated controllability with internal attributions. This study addresses this limitation by explicitly distinguishing between controllability and internal attributions, clarifying that attributing economic outcomes specifically to controllable rather than internal factors decreases redistribution preferenc…

  • Algorithmic anthropomorphism and AI moral standing

    Qing Xie, Jing Lin et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2025Referencias: 6

    Previous studies indicate that AI's appearance enhances its moral standing, but the role of algorithmic anthropomorphism (how it talks) remains unknown. According to Terror Management Theory, human moral concern toward AI is not always immutable and may be shaped by the presence of mortality salience. We investigated the effect of algorithmic anthropomorphism on AI moral standing, as well as the moderating role of mortality salience, through two …

  • The reciprocal relationship between prosocial behaviour and self-perceived physical health

    Open AccessXiaojun Yang, Peng Sun et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2025Referencias: 63

    The present study used a cross-lagged design to explore the bidirectional relationship between adolescents' prosocial behaviour and self-perceived physical health and to explore the mediating role of positive affect and the moderating role of openness to experience. A total of 1525 middle school students ( M age = 12.41, 47% male) in northern China were surveyed for 3 years. The results showed the following: (1) prosocial behaviour at T1 positive…

  • Individualistic powerfulness and collectivistic powerlessness corrupts

    Wei Cai, Miguel Anxo Araújo Iglesias et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Social Psychology2024

    Evidence from individualistic cultures suggests that power corrupts. Using a goals-based perspective, here we argue that power and culture jointly predict corrupt attitudes and behavior. Four studies ( N = 447) and one meta-analysis were conducted to test these hypotheses. Study 1 investigated the joint effects of power and individuals' cultural orientations on corruption proclivity. Studies 2 and 3 assessed if power and cultural orientations aff…

  • Effect of economic inequality on generosity

    Open AccessShuxian Li, Xinyuan Fu et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Psychology2024

    Economic inequality has been found to reduce individuals' generosity in western contexts. However, whether this effect is cross‐culturally consistent and its internal mechanism remain unclear, as well as how to mitigate this impact. Hence, we explored whether and why economic inequality may erode generosity in a sample of Chinese adults from the social norm perspective and introduced the equal allocation norm to mitigate this effect. Four online …

  • Network analysis and core dimensions of adolescent prosocial behavior

    Jing Lin, Boya Xu et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2024

    早期研究发现青少年的亲社会行为概念包括遵规−公益、关系、利他、特质四个维度。本研究探索了中国青少年(小学高年级到高中, N = 9160)亲社会行为四维度和15题项的网络结构, 发现无论是整体网络, 还是性别及学段网络, 遵规−公益维度的预期影响指数都最高, 之后依次是利他、关系及特质维度。网络比较结果显示, 亲社会行为的维度网络结构和题项网络结构均不存在明显性别差异, 但存在学段间的差异, 高中生的网络整体强度显著弱于初中生和小学生。这项研究为理解青少年的亲社会行为提供了新视角, 拓宽了亲社会行为的研究领域, 提示未来研究可通过干预遵规−公益维度和利他维度来促进青少年整体亲社会行为发展。 Abstract: Previous studies have discovered that the concept of prosocial behavior among adolescents is composed of four dimensions: commonweal-social r…

  • The changes in cooperation among strangers in China

    Mingliang Yuan, Amy Summerville et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2024

    Cooperation among strangers is a key feature of social capital which facilitates societies to effectively compete with other societies. Notably, cooperation among strangers does not remain permanent or stable within a society but can shift with changes in ecology and culture. In the past few decades, China has experienced tremendous social changes, mainly manifested in rapid economic growth, rising urbanization level, more widespread higher educa…

  • Development of beliefs in a just world among Chinese early adolescents and the predictive role of family factors

    Open AccessPeng Sun, Xiaonan Yao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2024

    OBJECTIVE: This study explored how belief in a just world (BJW) develops among Chinese adolescents and the predictive role of family factors. BACKGROUND: The development of BJW in adolescence is an important but understudied topic, especially in non-Western contexts. METHOD: = 12.47) were recruited to report their BJW, childhood SES, only-child or not, and parental psychological control in Wave 1 (Wave 2: N = 1262; Wave 3: N = 1124). RESULTS: The…

  • Perception of helper's autonomous motivation increases recipient's prosocial behaviour intentions via feelings of gratitude

    Open AccessYing Yang, Wenqi Li et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 39

    Four studies investigated the impact of a recipient's perception of a helper's motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) on the recipient's subsequent prosocial intentions, alongside testing a mediational mechanism. Study 1 employed a questionnaire method to assess the relationships between participants’ lay theories of helper's prosocial motivations (i.e., the degree of autonomy), their dispositional gratitude and their prosocial tendencies. Studie…

  • When and why does economic inequality predict prosocial behaviour? Examining the role of interpersonal trust among different targets

    Open AccessJing Lin, Wenqi Li et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2024Citada por: 3Referencias: 78

    Previous research suggests that economic inequality has caused a wide range of negative societal impacts. However, little is known about how economic inequality influences prosocial behaviour as a socioecological environment determinant. In five studies ( N = 62,342), we examined whether economic inequality reduces prosocial behaviour by decreasing interpersonal trust and the moderation role of interpersonal targets. Studies 1, 2a, and 2b showed …

  • Did cooperation among strangers decline in the United States? A cross-temporal meta-analysis of social dilemmas (1956-2017)

    Mingliang Yuan, Giuliana Spadaro et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    Cooperation among strangers has been hypothesized to have declined in theUnited States over the past several decades, an alarming trend that has potential far-reaching societal consequences. To date, most research that supports a decline in cooperation has relied on self-report measures or archival data. Here, we utilize the history of experimental research on cooperation in situations involving conflicting interests (i.e., social dilemmas). We m…

  • Honesty‐Humility and unethical behavior in adolescents

    Open AccessZhen Guo, Wenqi Li et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2021

    INTRODUCTION: Honesty-Humility represents the tendency to be fair, genuine, and cooperative in social interactions. Although previous evidence has demonstrated that Honesty-Humility is related to decreased unethical behavior, little is known about the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship, especially among adolescents. Based on social cognitive theory and system justification theory, the present study aims to examine th…

  • The Effect of Target’s Power on Prosocial Behavior

    Xinyuan Fu, Laura M Padilla-Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Psychology2021

    Social power predicts numerous important life outcomes and social orientations. Thus far, the research literature has mainly examined how an individual’s own power shapes interactions with others, whereas whether a target’s power affects social interactions has been relatively neglected. In particular, does a target’s power have an effect on the agent’s prosocial behavior? Furthermore, could culture along with the power distance dimension alter t…
