Career calling and flourishing
Career calling is regarded as the source of an individual's sense of purpose and meaning at work, and is an important element of research in the field of well-being. In this study, we investigated the mediating effects of job crafting and psychological capital on the relationship between career calling and flourishing by conducting a survey of 432 corporate employees. The results showed that career calling positively predicted flourishing; furthe…
An Eastern Look at a Western Dilemma
Moral judgment has been extensively studied utilizing traditional trolley-like sacrificial dilemmas. However, by building on Western philosophies and relying on WEIRD samples, this approach has potentially introduced a Western-centric bias to our understanding of the morality of sacrificial harm, by (a) assuming an inherent opposition between utilitarian and deontological morality and (b) underestimating cultural differences on the moral value of…
High- vs. low-stake choices in life
摘要: 个体主义的变迁一直广受学界关注。然而, 现有文献中关于中国个体主义变迁的研究出现了矛盾的结果。本文指出, 这可能是由于不同研究采用的个体主义测量指标不同所致。进一步, 本文认为可将人们在日常生活中的个体主义实践分为两类:个体主义重选择(high-stake choices, 涉及高机会成本)和个体主义轻选择(low-stake choices, 涉及低机会成本), 并认为现代化对个体主义重选择的影响大于对个体主义轻选择的影响。研究1通过一项问卷调查(N = 312)检验中国民众对不同生活选择重大性的主观感知。结果发现, 是否结婚、是否离婚、是否要孩子、是否与父母分开住等4项选择与给新生儿(男、女)取名等两项选择存在显著差异, 显示出前者属于个体主义重选择, 后者为个体主义轻选择。研究2通过分析中国26省30年的面板数据发现:1)中国各省的个体主义, 包括重选择和轻选择, 总体呈现上升趋势, 且现代化显著正向预测两类个体主义; 2)但相较于个体主义轻选择, 现代化对个体主义重选择的…
Voluntary frontier settlement and independent agency within China
Detecting depression of Chinese microblog users via text analysis
This study did not only develop a predictive model applicable to text-only social media data, but also demonstrated the importance taking cultural psychological factors and suicide related expressions into consideration in the calculation of word frequency. Our research provided a more comprehensive understanding of how lexicons related to cultural psychology and suicide risk were associated with depression, and could contribute to the recognitio…
Analysis of the Mediating Role of Psychological Empowerment between Perceived Leader Trust and Employee Work Performance
High levels of trust between employees and leaders moderate the relationship between organizational management practices. A collaborative environment encourages employees to have more Psychological Empowerment, which in turn leads to better performance. Based on Intrinsic Work Motivation and Self-Evaluation, this paper uses Perceived Leader Trust as an independent variable, Employee Work Performance as a dependent variable, and introduces Psychol…
An Integrated Ecological Approach to Mapping Variations in Collectivism Within China
Measurable regional variations in collectivism have been found across the Chinese mainland, challenging the simple classification of China as a “collectivistic society” in cross-national studies. In previous studies, a small number of distal or proximal ecological factors have been used to explain these regional variations of collectivism. However, there has been little consensus on which ecological factors best predict regional collectivism. In …
Teens in Rice County Are More Interdependent and Think More Holistically Than Nearby Wheat County
China’s smallest province Ningxia sits in North Central China. Surrounded by herding cultures to the north and wheat farmers to the south, Qingtongxia is a small outpost of rice farming fed by the Yellow River. We test the hypothesis that rice-farming cultures are more interdependent by comparing high school students from Qingtongxia ( N = 190) to students in a nearby wheat district, Yuanzhou ( N = 223). Comparing two nearby counties provides a n…
The difference of collectivism between north and south China and its cultural dynamics
摘要
Climato-Economic Imprints on Chinese Collectivism
A still unsolved question is why humans create collectivism. A new theory proposes that poorer populations coping with more demanding winters or summers become more collectivist. Preliminary support comes from a province-level analysis of survey data from 1,662 native residents of 15 Chinese provinces. Collectivism is weakest in provinces with temperate climates irrespective of income (e.g., Guangdong), negligibly stronger in higher income provin…
Disadvantage and prosocial behavior
The Psychometric Evaluation of the Satisfaction with Life Scale Using a Nationally Representative Sample of China
Cross‐cultural development of an abridged job insecurity measure
Using four samples from the United States and China, we developed two theoretically based abridged job insecurity (JI) scales to address researcher concerns with the length of the original 57‐item scale. These two scales contained all the components of the scale originally developed and validated by Ashford et al., 1989 . Our abridged scale has 37 items (18 items for job features, 16 items for total job, and 3 items for powerlessness). We further…
