ObjectiveTo explore the influence of gender,age and types of peer acceptance on the ability of theory of mind among rural parent-absent children.Methods 312 rural parent-absent children participated in the study (including 162 boys,150 girls; 102 members of 8 year-old,119 members of 9 year-old,and 91 members of 10 year-old).Their ability of theory of mind and types of peer acceptance were examined by the 2nd-order False-beliefs Tasks and Peer nomination.The date were analyzed by Multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA),LSD checkout and Simple effect analysis.ResultsThere were statistically significant effects on ages in theory of mind,types of peer acceptance ( F=4.57,P=0.011 ; F =3.82,P =0.005 ) and the interaction among gender,ages and types of peer acceptance(F=3.20,P =0.042; F =2.50,P =0.043 ).The least significant different(LSD) assay of the ability of theory of mind age and types of peer acceptance shows:there were statistically significant lies in the divergence of age 8 and age 9 group,and also in age 9 and age 10 group,(I-J =-0.51,P =0.016;I-J =- 0.90,P =0.000 ).In the same way,there were also statistically significant lies in the divergence of the ability of theory of mind performance-popular and rejected ( I-J =1.05,P =0.001 ) ; popular and neglected ( I-J =0.84,P =0.003 ) ; popular and controversial( I-J =1.03,P =0.002) ; rejected and average ( I-J =- 0.66,P =0.02 ) ; controversial and average ( I-J =- 0.64,P=0.034).Results of simple effect shows:there were statistically significant lies in the gender divergence of the 9 age group (F =4.98,P =0.026),the age divergence of girls (F =7.50,P =0.001 ),the gender divergence of controversial groups (F=5.76,P =0.017 ),the peer acceptance divergence of boys(F=4.97,P =0.001),and also the peer acceptance divergence of girls(F =2.54,P =0.04).Conclusion There is substantial connection between the ability of theory of mind of rural parent-absent children and ages and types of peer acceptance.

Objective To understand the relationship between spouses' marital quality and their mental health.Method 384 pairs of couples from 28 provinces in China were examined with the Marriage Perception Scale(MPS) and Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90).Result ( 1 ) Husbands' scores of couple conflict( 10.85 ±5.02) were significantly lower than wives' scores of couple conflict ( 11.66 ± 5.63 ) (P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) Husbands' seores in the 5 factors of SCL-90 ( symptoms that somatization ( 1.44 ± 0.50 ), interpersonal sensitivity ( 1.57 ±0.54),depression( 1 .50 ± 0.52 ) ,anxiety ( 1.46 ± 0.54 ), panic ( 1.38 ± 0.55 ) ) were significantly higher than wives' in the 5 factors of SCL-90[symptoms that somatization ( 1.52 ± 0.54 ), interpersonal sensitivity ( 1.66 ±0.58), depression (1.59 ±0.59 ), anxiety ( 1.55 ± 0.58 ), panic ( 1.47 ± 0.59 )] (P ＜ 0.05 ).( 3 ) Individual's MPS and its SCL-90,spouses' MPS andits SCL-90 correlated as well( r=-0.372 ～0.239)(P＜0.01 ).Conclusion Couples are similar in their marriage perceptions.Husbands are psychological healthier than their spouses'.Individual marriage perception is correlated with his/her mental health level and his/her spouses' as well.

Objective To examine the relationship of marital quality,personalities,coping style in spouses.Methods Total 923 spouses were assessed with the marriage perception scale (MPS),Eysenck personality questionaire(EPQ) and simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ).Results The results revealed that psychoticism and neuroticism were both negatively correlated with marital quality(r=-0.24,-0.31,P＜ 0.01),but intraversion/extraversion and lie were both positively correlated with marital quality (r =0.24,0.14,P ＜ 0.01).And coping style was positively correlated with marital quality(r=0.33,P＜ 0.01).Significant partial mediation of coping style on the association between personality and marital quality were revealed,and the mediating effect was accounted for 8.8％ of the total effect.Conclusion Coping style is the mediator between personalities and marital quality.

Objective To explore the structure of Chinese personality based on natural language and to develop a Chinese personality vocabulary data bank.Methods Based on the sub-factors of Chinese personality scale(QZPS),Chinese personality assessment inventory 2(CPAI-2) and Chinese personality five factors inventory (CPFFI),a self-reported personality questionnaire with 116 items was developed.An exploratory factory analysis and parallel analysis were made to the data collected from 1455 Chinese participants.Results A Chinese Personality Seven Factors Inventory (CPSFI) was developed,which included seven factors with 52 items.51.63％ of the total variance of the seven factors was explained and the internal reliability coefficient was 0.800,while the internal reliability coefficients among the factors were between 0.663-0.912.The retest reliability coefficients of the factors were between 0.700-0.874 (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Outgoing and emotion are the core contents of the crossculture personalities.Most of the factors in QZPS,CPAI-2 and CPFFI can be found in the seven factors structure,of which the structure is clearer.

Objective To transform the vocabulary based Chinese personality (VBCP) to a sentence based Chinese personality inventory.Methods Based on the dimension theory and mapping sentence,347 sentences were developed and quantified with equal weight.772 subjects participated in a pilot study and an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to the collected data.A trial version of the Chinese Personality Inventory with 7 factors was developed.With the trial version as the survey instrument,3190 subjects from 22 provinces and centrally administered municipalities in China participated in the survey,the exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor analysis,annova,t-test,correlation and cronbach test were utilized in this research.The Chinese seven factors personality inventory (CSPI) was developed,which included seven factors with 130 items.Results The 7 factors of Chinese personality inventory were emotion,innovation,persistency,virtue,extraversion,agreeableness and tradition.42.27％ of the total variance of the seven factors was explained.The internal reliability coefficient was Cronbach' s α =0.902(P＜0.001),while the internal reliability coefficients among the factors were between 0.794-0.947.The retest reliability coefficients of the factors were between 0.696-0.921 (P＜ 0.001).Significant positive correlations (r ranged from 0.151 to 0.548,P＜0.01)were found between 5 of the 7 factors of CSPI,but innovation and tradition.Significant positive correlations (r ranged from 0.193 to 0.715,P＜0.05,P＜0.01)were found between the 7 factors and CSPI.Significant correlations between CSPI and EPQ-RSC were found (P＜0.05).Confirmatory factor analysis showed that thc inventory was valid,and NFI and CFI were greater than 0.90.Conclusion CSPI met the measurement requirement in validity,reliability and explanation ability.

Objective To explore the empathy deficits of adolescents with different types of conduct disorder. Methods The participants included 65 adolescents ( who met the DSM-Ⅳ criteria for conduct disorder)ranging from 13 ～ 18 in age,and 195 normal adolescents ranging from 13 ～ 18 in age. All participants were assessed by revised Basic Empathy Scale. 65 patients were divided into 4 subgroups according to symptoms: destructive-nondestructive subgroups and overt-covert subgroups. Results (1) Scores of cognitive empathy were lower in patients than normal controls ( (29.86 ± 4.72) vs ( 32.09 ± 4.94), P ＜ 0. 01 ). (2) There were significant differences in the levels of cognitive empathy between patients and controls (P＜0. 01 ). Scores of cognitive empathy were lower in destructive subgroup than controls ( (29.76 ± 4.46) vs ( 32.09 ± 4.94) , P ＜ 0.01 ). (3) There were significant differences in the levels of two dimensions and total scores of empathy between patients and controls (F=3.10 ～5.36, P ＜ 0.05 ). Scores of cognitive empathy were lower in overt subgroup ( 29.22 ± 3.77 ) and covert subgroup (30.21 ± 5.17 ) than controls (32.09 ± 4.94) (P＜ 0.05, P＜0.01 );and scores of affective empathy were lower in overt subgroup than covert subgroup ( (26.13 ±5.05) vs (29.50 ±4.16), P＜0.05 ). Total scores of empathy were lower in overt subgroup (55.35 ±7.09) than covert subgroup (59.71 ±7.58) and controls (60.04 ±8.50 ) (P＜0.05). (4) Logistic regression analysis showed that cognitive empathy was a protective factor for conduct disorders( OR = 0.43 ). Conclusion The cognitive empathy level of patients is significantly lower than normal students;and boys with different types of conduct disorder possess different empathic abilities when compared with healthy controls;and cognitive empathy is a protective factor for conduct disorder.
