Objective:To understand the relationship of personality characteristics,self-esteem and social sup-port between men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:Totally 402 cases aged 18-77 years were selected by snowball sampling method in Mianyang City and evaluated with the Chinese version of Eysenck Personality Ques-tionnaire short form scale (EPQ-RSC),Self-Esteem Scale (SES)and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS).Re-sults:Objective support score was negatively correlated with psychoticism and neuroticism score (standard β=-0.18,-0.28),and positively correlated with introversion-extroversion score (standard β=0.14).Subjective sup-port score was negatively correlated with introversion-extroversion score (standard β=-0.15),and positively cor-related with lie score (standard β=0.22).The utilization degree of social support score was negatively correlated with psychoticism and neuroticism score (standard β=0.16,0.15),and positively correlated with lie score (stand-ard β=-0.15).Self-esteem score was negatively correlated with psychoticism and neuroticism score (standard β=0.10,0.21),and positively correlated with the utilization degree of social support score (standard β=-0.26).

Chinese Mental Health Journal.2015;(6):470-475. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-6729.2015.06.013

Objective:To explore effects of frustration situation,resilience and positive music on attentional bias by a behavioral experiment.Methods:Totally 60 participants were chosen from 650 college students according to their scores in Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).Then,a 2(resilience,high/low)×3(experimental treatment,no frustration/frustration with positive music /frustration without any background)×2(vocabulary,posi-tive /passive)mixed design experiment was conducted to investigate the attentional bias of participants in emotional Stroop paradigm.Results:Reaction times to passive vocabulary were different significantly in three frustration situa-tions(P <0.01).Interaction of resilience and frustration on reaction time to positive vocabulary was significant (P<0.01).Among the participants with low resilience,reaction time to positive vocabulary in the situation without frustration or the frustration situation with positive music was longer significantly than that in the frustration situa-tion without any background [(476.3 ±85.6)vs.(456.0 ±54.0)vs.(427.1 ±61.1),P <0.05].Among the par-ticipants with high resilience,reaction time to positive vocabulary in the frustration situation without any background was longer than that in the situation without frustration [(472.1 ±82.9)vs.(432.4 ±53.2),P <0.05].Conclu-sion:It suggests that individuals may have obviously attentional bias to negative stimulus in frustration situation,and effects of resilience and positive music on attentional bias in situation may be obvious.

Chinese Mental Health Journal.2015;(6):463-468. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-6729.2015.06.012

Objective:To develop the College Students'Career Adaptability Questionnaire(CSCAQ)and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Based on the theoretical construction of Savickas for career adaptability and the open questionnaire survey in 136 college students,this study defined the construct of CSCAQ,and compiled the pre-liminary questionnaire.A sample of 935 subjects coming from 6 colleges was investigated with preliminary ques-tionnaire,and the data were used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA).A sample of 1273 sub-jects coming from 8 colleges was investigated with formal questionnaire,and the data were used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)and the homogeneous reliability.The criterion validity was tested in 437 subjects with CSOAQ.The test-retest reliability was tested in 110 subjects 4 weeks later.Results:The CSCAQ was composed of 35 items in six factors,which were career control,career curiosity,career concerns,career confidence,career adjust-ment and career interpersonal,and the six factors explained 47.89% of the variances.Furthermore,the result of CFA indicated that the model fitted the data with well construct validity(χ2 /df=3.24,GFI =0.92,NFI =0.85,CFI=0.89,IFI =0.89,TLI =0.88,RMSEA =0.04).The CSCAQ and its factors scores were positively correlated with the CSOAQ scores (r =0.29 -0.85,Ps <0.01).The Cronbach αcoefficients were 0.90 for the total questionnaire and 0.64 -0.79 for the 6 factors.The test-retest reliability were 0.92 for the total questionnaire and 0.74 -0.82 for the 6 factors.Conclusion:It suggests that the College Students'Career Adaptability Questionnaire(CSCAQ)is reliable and valid enough to be applicable to measure college students'career adaptability.

Capacity assessment is of significant priority for medical treatment and clinical research invol-ving mental disorder patients,as to protect an individual's fundamental rights.Clinical judgment of individual's ca-pacity to consent most focus on medical situation,well-designed capacity assessment instruments should be used to support experienced clinical judgment.Capacity to consent can be adequately captured by measuring the constructs of understanding,appreciation,reasoning and communicating /expressing a choice.A large number of instruments designed by foreign developers to assess capacity to consent need validation and implementation in China,the in-strument designed by Chinese researchers has not been widely agreed.Establishing an effective capacity assessment instrument with psychometric properties (validity and reliability),which considering the clinical practice and culture background in china would be a breakthrough in methodology.

Chinese Mental Health Journal.2015;(6):425-430. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-6729.2015.06.005

The accurate diagnose is the precondition of effective intervention and services for autism spec-trum disorder,however it must rely on the scientific diagnostic criteria.The American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM)is one of the most widely used diagnostic criteria for psychiatric disorders at present.It provides important diagnostic basis for the field of basic and clinical neuroscience,cognitive and behav-ioral science and disability research.The major change of autism spectrum disorder diagnostic criteria in the newly-published DSM-5 include the combination of disorder classification,the simplification of diagnostic criteria and divi-sion according to the severity level.Affected by this,it made the prevalence,the clinical research as well as educa-tion and related social services something new.In the future,incorporation of the social-psychological factors,com-patible with ICD and localization of ASD diagnostic criteria may be the major field of the diagnostic and classified criteria of ASD series research.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)is one of the most common comorbidities of ASD.This article reviews the assessment tools and clinical research (prevalence,clinical characteristics and treat-ment)and fundamental research (iconography,genetics,neurophychology,electronerophysiology)of ASD with ADHD according to lately related articles.The findings suggested that there was lack of researches on treatment and iconography of ASD with ADHD and the conclusions were inconformity.Furthermore,most of the objects in these researches were children of normal intelligence.Thus future research should expand its objects to patients of adult and children with mental retardation and do further explore in iconography and treatment.
