Objective This study aimed to quantitatively analyze social contact patterns among residents of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, and to examine their variations across different demographic groups. The findings are intended to provide empirical data for developing localized transmission dynamic models of respiratory infectious diseases and for formulating targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was cond…
The acculturation experiences of Chinese international tertiary students in Australia: A qualitative study
International tertiary students face many challenges and stressors when studying abroad. Past research reports that Asian international students experience acculturative stress due to language barriers, lack of social connections with locals, and discrimination, which may contribute to poor mental health. The aim of this study was to gather firsthand personal experiences of Chinese international tertiary students studying abroad in Australia. Usi…

Willingness for Cross-Class Contact of Different Social Classes and the Mediating Role of Negative Contact Expectations
The probability of cross-class contact between individuals from different social classes is significantly lower than that of random chance contact. However, it remains unclear whether individuals from lower or higher social classes are more reluctant to engage in cross-class contact. This study found that individuals with a lower subjective social class (SSC) were less willing to engage in cross-class contact than those with a higher SSC (Studies…
Striving for Success and Being Seen as Virtuous: The Impact of Achievement Values on Reputation Concerns
Concerns about reputation often help constrain unethical behavior and promote prosocial behavior. In contrast, achievement values have an opposite relationship with these consequences and the antecedents of reputation concerns. However, from a competitive altruism perspective, achievement values may boost reputation concerns. In five studies, achievement values were associated with higher general reputation concerns (Study 1a, N = 351), which was…

The paradox of pandemic mitigation? Moderating role of pandemic severity on the impact of social distancing policies: A cultural value perspective
BACKGROUND: Social distancing policies were of utmost importance during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These policies aimed to mitigate the severity of local outbreaks by altering public behavior. However, if the severity of the pandemic reduces, the impact of these policies on actual behavior may decrease. This study aims to examine, from a global perspective, whether the impact of social distancing policies on actual mobility is mod…
The “moral neutrality pattern” of individuals with indirect multicultural experiences in immoral and moral judgments: Behavioral and neural evidence
Based on the moral relativism theory, the current study proposes that individuals with indirect multicultural experiences may exhibit a "moral neutrality pattern" in complete moral judgments, that is, they may perceive others' immoral actions as less immoral and moral actions as less moral. In Study 1, using publicly available CGSS data and our large-scale survey, we found positive correlations between multicultural experiences and a tendency to …
The association between social class and aggression: A meta-analytic review
Neural activity during provocation and aggressive responses in people from different social classes
We like because we feel liked’ exposure to cultural fusion improves outgroup attitudes through contact metacognition
Based on the common ingroup identity model and the principle of group reciprocity, this study proposes that exposure to cultural fusion can improve outgroup attitudes by activating positive contact metacognition, that is, the subjective perception of the outgroup's desire for contact with the ingroup. To test this hypothesis, we conducted three experiments with Chinese Yi students. They were randomly primed with Dai‐Yi cultural fusion pictures, D…
The Effect of Group Identification on Death Anxiety: The Chain Mediation Role of Close Relationships and Self-Esteem
Based on the terror management theory (TMT), this study integrated self-esteem and close relationships to explore the effects of group identification on death anxiety. Five hundred and four participants completed the Death Anxiety, Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Social Identity, and Inclusion of Other in the Self scales via online platforms. There were significant correlations among group identification, close relationship, self-esteem, and death anxiety…
Are the Lower Class Really Unhappy? Social Class and Subjective Well-Being in Chinese Adolescents: Moderating Role of Sense of Control and Mediating Role of Self-Esteem
Symbolic threat affects negative self-conscious emotions
Self-conscious emotions are a distinct category of emotional responses that are rooted in social contexts. Previous findings suggest that negative self-conscious emotions might be elicited by a specific social factor, that is, symbolic intergroup threat. The present study tested the hypothesis that this is true, with three experiments conducted in the Chinese-context. In particular, the Mandarin words for shame (羞愧), guilt (内疚) and loss of face (…
Temporal self-appraisal in a Chinese context: Distancing autobiographical memory following self-uncertainty salience
On the premise that individuals are inclined to self-enhance, in temporal self-appraisal (TSA) theory it is suggested that people can motivationally reconstruct subjective distances from their past self to serve that goal. However, given the mixed evidence found in an East Asian cultural context (i.e., Japan), it is important to test the cultural applicability of TSA in a different East Asian culture. Thus we tested the TSA of a Chinese sample, f…
Restoring meaning: Self-uncertainty increases subjective distance between the past and present self
Based on the meaning maintenance model and temporal self-appraisal theory, we conducted 2 experiments with Chinese college students to test how self-uncertainty salience affected the subjective distance between the past and present self. We manipulated uncertainty salience and asked participants to explicitly (Study 1) or implicitly (Study 2) indicate their subjective distance. Participants in both studies increased the subjective distance when u…
Fusion of 'You and Me: Cultural Mixing Promotes Intergroup Psychological Compatibility
Previous research has mainly examined individuals' attitudes to cultural mixing per se, and rarely examined the attitudes to the outgroup involved in cultural mixing. Exposure to ingroup-outgroup cultural mixing may be an indirect intergroup contact, which can promote individuals' psychological compatibility toward the corresponding cultural outgroup. We measured Chinese Yi undergraduates' experience of Yi-Tibetan cultural mixing in Study 1 and f…
How does intergroup threat affect the shifting function? The moderating role of group identification
In this study we examined whether the shifting function can be modulated by intergroup threat, and if so, how this works. We conducted 2 experiments, using a task-switching paradigm, the results of which provide converging evidence that intergroup threat can impair the shifting function. Results showed that participants in the threat condition in each study (Study 1 symbolic threat: n = 29; Study 2 realistic threat: n = 29) experienced greater sh…
Effects of sense of control on aggression among low-status Chinese undergraduate students
We examined whether a sense of control affects the relationship between low status and aggression among Chinese undergraduate students. A sample of 195 undergraduates in Study 1 completed anonymous questionnaires regarding their sense of control and trait aggression. Results showed that a greater sense of control was associated with less trait aggression among low-status participants, whereas no significant relationship was observed between sense…
Transmitting Stereotype-relevant Information In Conversation: Evidence from Chinese Undergraduates
In the field of communication, previous researchers who employed the serial reproduction method have mainly used written communication and fictional story assessment techniques. To extend the literature, we conducted 2 studies to explore the communication of stereotyperelevant information using the face-to-face oral serial reproduction method. A research report containing stereotypical information about Tchambuli men (Study 1, N = 40), and a fict…
The effect of perspective taking on negative cognitive responses induced by intergroup threat
In two related studies, we explored the influence of perspective taking on the moderation of negative cognitive responses induced by intergroup threat. In Study 1 we recruited undergraduate students at Southwest University who came from rural areas in China. Participants were randomly assigned to either a threat condition group or a control group. We presented to all participants a policy advantageous to urban students and measured their level of…
Accentuating Your Masculine Side: Agentic Traits Generally Dominate Self-Evaluation, Even in China
Recent research investigating self-judgment has shown that people are more likely to base their evaluations of self on agency-related traits than communion-related traits. In the present research, we tested the hypothesis that agency-related traits dominate self-evaluation by expanding the purview of the fundamental dimensions to consider characteristics typically studied in the gender-role literature, but that nevertheless should be related to a…
