1.Moral judgment and its relationship with theory of mind in patients with autism spectrum disorder
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(5):366-370
This article reviews the moral judgment ability of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD),as well as the relationship with theory of mind (TOM).The study found that patients with ASD could undertake basic moral judgment,but could not provide the corresponding judgment reason,and were easy to make utilitarianism judgment.In addition,individual's moral judgment ability was positively correlated with TOM,while there were defects in TOM among the patients with ASD,which could lead to the skew results of moral judgment.

3.Effect of childhood maltreatment on cognitive flexibility of executive function: A review
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(3):241-246
Cognitive flexibility is a kind of ability to convert mental representation,including reactive flexibility and spontaneous flexibility,and as the vital components of executive function.The experience of the childhood maltreatment may damage both reactive flexibility and spontaneous flexibility and result in cognitive flexibility dysfunction.Prefrontal cortex is the main brain regions of cognitive flexibility,childhood maltreatment experience through injuring the growth of frontal lobe leading to the cognitive flexibility dysfunction.Future research could combine the method of behavioral test and brain damage measurement,to carry on minute research on the two components of cognitive flexibility and brain mechanisms at the same time.
4.Mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between childhood abuse and depression in college students
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2015;(4):305-310
Objective:To examine the relationship between regulatory emotional self-efficacy and childhood abuse,and the mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy between childhood abuse and depression in col-lege students.Methods:Totally 475 college students from 4 universities in Harbin were assessed with the Chinese version of the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (RES),Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ),and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).The survey of CTQ was manipula-ted retrospectively.Results:Physical neglect and physical abuse had significant direct negative effects on perceived self-efficacy in expressing positive affect (POS)(β=-0.38,-0.52).Emotional neglect and sexual abuse had significant direct negative effects on perceived self-efficacy in managing despondency/distress (DES)(β=-0.35,-0.31).Physical neglect had a significant direct negative effect on perceived self-efficacy in managing anger/irri-tation (ANG)(β=-0.23).Physical neglect and physical abuse had significant direct positive effects on depres-sion (β=0.78,3.20).The POS mediated relationships between emotional neglect and depression,physical neglectand depression,and sexual abuse and depression (with intermediary effects of 0.021 -0.029).The DES imposed mediating effects on relationships between emotional neglect and depression,physical neglect and depression,physi-cal abuse and depression,and sexual abuse and depression (with intermediary effect of 0.017 -0.040).The ANG was a mediator in the relationships between emotional neglect and depression,and physical neglect and depression (with intermediary effects of 0.016 -0.019).Conclusion:It suggests that childhood abuse may be an important factor related to low regulatory emotional self-efficacy.Regulatory emotional self-efficacy may play a mediating role between childhood abuse and depression.
5.Attentional blink in patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(2):150-155
This paper introduces the concept,the research paradigms and the related theory of the attentional blink,and reviews the relevant researches about the attentional blink of the children and adults with ADHD in the last 10 years.Compared to normal subjects,children and adults with ADHD did show more severe AB effect,and adults with ADHD showed more eye movement behavior.In future studies,standardized RSVP paradigm should be set up to provide convenience for the comparison of results of studies,and find out what kind of processing restrictions will affect the characteristics of different age ADHD groups in the time dimension of attention.In addition,ADHD and inhibitory control related closely,consideration should be given to the combination of inhibitory control paradigm and AB paradigm.
6.Role of surviving caregiver on bereaved children's mental development: A review
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(6):466-470
In this paper,we analyzed the role of the surviving caregiver on bereaved children's mental development.In bereaved family,living with mother,appropriate expression of grief,good psychological health level and positive parent-child interaction could promote the healthy development of bereaved children.Otherwise,bereaved children would suffer the secondary damage which stemmed from surviving caregiver's inappropriate reaction.Therefore,further research could explore the effect of bereavement type and the personality of surviving caregiver on the relation between surviving caregiver and bereaved children's mental development.
