We explored the concurrent impact of positive coping styles and psychological harmony on primary school teachers' job burnout, and the mediating role of psychological harmony in the relationship between positive coping styles and job burnout. Participants were 804 Chinese primary school teachers, who completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey, the Coping Style Scale, and the Psychological Harmony Scale. The results showed there were significant negative correlations between job burnout and the two psychological structures of positive coping styles and psychological harmony. Use of positive coping styles directly affected primary school teachers' job burnout and also indirectly affected their job burnout through the mediator of psychological harmony. Implications of the findings are discussed.

The widespread use of and dependence on smartphones has resulted in spousal marital satisfaction being affected by partner phubbing behavior. We investigated the mediating effect of phubbing on the link between self-control and marital satisfaction for both actors and partners. We used the Smartphone Addiction Scale for Chinese Adults, the Self-Control Scale, and the Olson Enrich Marital Inventory to assess 676 Chinese couples with at least one child. Self-control had a significantly positive correlation with marital satisfaction, and spouses' phubbing partially mediated the relationship between participants' self-control and marital satisfaction, thus indicating a significant actor effect. Only a husband's phubbing significantly mediated the path between the husband's self-control and wife's marital satisfaction, thereby suggesting different partner effect patterns. These findings imply that self-control is a positive factor in marital satisfaction, and a spouse's phubbing may also play a negative role in marital satisfaction.

Suicide is a major public health problem among adolescents, and negative life events (NLE) have been considered a significant risk factor for suicide attempts. However, the mediating and moderating processes underlying the relationship between NLE and suicide attempts have remained obscure. We examined both the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of peer support underlying this relationship. The results showed that depression fully mediated the positive relationship between NLE and adolescent suicide attempts. A moderated mediation analysis further revealed that the indirect path from NLE to suicide attempts was moderated by peer support. These findings suggest that the development of depression plays a key role in explaining why adolescents who have experienced NLE are at a greater risk of suicide attempts than those who have not. A healthy peer support system could serve as a buffer to reduce the adverse outcomes resulting from NLE. Overall, the results may contribute to developing an integrative framework of theory and effective interventions.

This study proposed and tested a model of the direct and indirect impacts of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on customer loyalty through the mediator of guanxi (social connections) of organizations and employees. Participants were 452 life insurance customers in China, who completed measures of CSR, guanxi, and customer loyalty. Results of structural equation modeling indicated that CSR was positively associated with customer loyalty and that guanxi partially mediated this relationship. The study findings provide new insight into the complex relationship between CSR and customer loyalty, and may be of use to insurance service providers for increasing customer loyalty.

Facial expressions are commonly believed to reliably convey emotional information, but some research suggests that people are better at perceiving emotions through body language. We hypothesized that individuals' emotional perception would improve when body imagery was presented, relative to viewing the face alone. Following musical mood induction, participants were shown images of winning and losing tennis players that were cropped to show either (a) only the face, (b) only the body, or (c) both the face and the body, before rating each player's perceived level of arousal and emotional experience. Results showed there was a reciprocal emotional rating effect for face imagery, with participants mistakenly rating losing faces as experiencing more positive emotion than winning faces did; when body imagery was shown along with the face, participants' emotional perception was more accurate. Significant gender differences were observed in ratings of female versus male players. Our study indicates that without further context, emotional perception is unreliable from the face alone. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology, we conducted an experiment to explore the effects of gain and loss contexts on cooperation and its brain activation patterns in the Prisoner's Dilemma game. The results showed that even in a loss context, participants still chose cooperation in nearly half of the experiment trials, but the cooperation rate was higher in a gain context. The results of fMRI showed that the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex, right dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, right temporoparietal junction, and right precuneus were activated more in the decision process of making a cooperative rather than a defection choice, and also that the activation of the bilateral precuneus and bilateral inferior parietal lobule induced by a cooperative choice was greater in a loss context than in a gain context. Thus, compared with when they were making a defection decision, in the process of making a cooperative decision, participants might reason and process more on the psychological activities of others, especially in a loss context.

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence mechanism of challenging and threatening work stress on employees' innovative behavior, and to examine the mediating role of psychological distance and the moderating role of employment relationships. A web-based survey of 498 employees was conducted. The main findings were as follows: (a) Challenging stress had a significant and positive impact on innovative employee behavior, whereas threatening stress negatively affected innovative employee behavior, (b) psychological distance mediated the relationship between both challenging and threatening stress and employees' innovative behavior, and (c) the employment relationship positively moderated the relationship between challenging stress and employees' innovative behavior and negatively moderated the relationship between threatening stress and employees' innovative behavior. Implications are pointed out and suggestions provided for management personnel who are searching for ways to encourage employees' innovative behavior in firms where there is work stress.

Increasing customer store loyalty is a vital issue for retailers because maintaining an existing customer costs less than attracting a new customer in the service industry. We conducted an empirical study to examine the connections between store music, customers' negative emotion, and store loyalty. Data were collected through a paper-and-pencil survey of 405 customers who were shopping at a supermarket located in a major metropolitan area in China. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. Results showed that store music indirectly affected customers' store loyalty through negative emotion. That is, store music inhibited negative emotion, thereby enhancing store loyalty. The findings will assist managers in understanding the effect of store music on customers' loyalty.

The priming effect on creativity refers to the more effective creation of new uses for the second (vs. first) object in a two-item task. This, along with veridical memory loss in the Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm, is related to mental fixation, and both can be improved when attention is given to item-specific features. We studied the cognitive mechanism of this priming effect by utilizing the DRM paradigm with a sample of 91 undergraduates recruited from a university in China. We used a two-item task and the DRM paradigm under rapid and slow presentation conditions to verify our hypotheses by dividing words into high false memory (HFM) and low false memory (LFM) lists. The results showed that the veridical memory of the HFM lists was improved under the slow (vs. rapid) condition for individuals in the high priming effect group, but not for those in the low priming effect group. Implications are discussed.
