10 The Development of Verbal Updating in Early Childhood and Its Relation to Working Memory and Inhibition Control
LIANG Ying, CAO Qiong, LI Zhu-yun, HE Jie
The present study explored the developmental trajectory of Chinese children’s verbal updating and its relationtoworking memory and inhibition control. In Study 1, 59 children aged from 21 to 36 months were tested whether they can update what they saw by what they heard usingverbal updating tasks. In Study 2, 95 children were tested in verbal updating, working memory and inhibition control tasks. Results showedthat: 1)the developmental pattern of Chinese children's verbal updatingwas generally consistent with the previous western studies (younger children rely more on visual information to update information, while older children gradually master the ability of verbal updating); 2) inhibition control can uniquely predict verbal updating.

GAN Ye-tong, LIU Shen, WANG Chen, SHEN Jie, CAO Fei-zhen, WANG Xiu-juan, XU Qiang, ZHANG Lin
Facial attractiveness, as an important information related to evolution and social perception, has been the focus of attention for a long time. The study presented the state of facial attractiveness research from 1990 to 2019 from a macro perspective by means of bibliometrics. The results showed that the amount of posts in the facial attractiveness has grown exponentially. The theme of the literature has gradually shifted from focusing on facial attractiveness and faces to combining facial attractiveness with social interaction situations and social perception of faces.

30 Gaze Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder
SONG Yong-ning
Atypical gaze is one of the most distinctive characteristics of individuals with autismspectrum disorder(ASD). It appears from early on and is likely to relate to impairment in social communication and social interaction. This review focused on four topics concerning eye preference, gaze discrimination, gaze following and joint attention, which summarized the behavioral and brain-imaging research on gaze processing in patients with ASD. And this paper also made a discussion on the mechanisms underlying atypical gaze in ASD and the future prospect on this issue.

42 Electrophysiological activity of basic emotions: evidences from ERP
LIANG Fei, LI Hong, WANG Fu-shun
The basic emotion theory proposes that human emotions are composed of a limited number of primary emotions, such as happy, anger, fear, and sad. Using brain functional imaging to explore the unique neural structure of basic emotions, but the results are too complex to support the basic emotions theory, they cannot support basic emotion theory. One reason may be that emotions are transient and mutable. And EEG, with its high temporal resolution, maybe can helps to solve this problem. This article discusses the basic emotion elicitation techniques and the application value of EEG, summarizes several ERP components related to basic emotion and their characteristics. Finally, the research idea of combining EEG with artificial intelligence to provide new research ideas for basic emotion theory is proposed.

57 The effect of psychological stress on aggressive behavior during the COVID-19: a moderated mediation model
HU Yan, XU Chuan-yong, WANG Ruo-tong, WEN Rong-zhen, HE Ting-xin, GUO Ya, PENG Zi-wen
This study examined the mediating effect of negative coping style and the moderating effect of emotional management ability in the relationship between psychology stress response and aggression behavior among students during the epidemic of COVID-19. The Self-reporter Questionnaire，Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire，Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Emotion management Questionnaire were employed to investigate the mental health of 1955 students during the epidemic of COVID-19. The results showed that (1) psychology stress response had a directly positive effect on aggression behavior; (2)negative coping style partly mediated the relationship between psychology stress response and aggression behavior，and the indirect effect was moderated by emotional management ability.

66 Gain-loss Asymmetry of Intertemporal Choices: From effects to psychological process
JIANG Cheng-ming, WANG Lei, MA Jia-tao, CHEN Li-na, HE Quan
Gain-loss asymmetry is a robust phenomenon in intertemporal choice, that is, compared with intertemporal choice with gains, decision-makers show a smaller, even a negative discount rate in those with losses. Previous studies on gain-loss asymmetry usually only showed this phenomenon and discussed possible reasons; however, recent research began to examine the psychological mechanisms behind it. This paper summarizes the progress in the study of the psychological mechanism of gain-loss asymmetry from the following three aspects: asymmetry utility of gains and losses, asymmetry perceptions of delay duration and asymmetry of discounting functions. Finally, this paper proposes that future research needs to be strengthened in terms of possible distinct processing strategies for gains and losses outcomes, comparing of gain and loss sequences, and using processing research methods to study intertemporal choice.

75 Research on the influence mechanism of entrepreneur's goal commitment on innovative performance
XUE Xian-fang, QIU Ze-mi, GUO Han, FANG Xin, MEI Sheng-jun
Based on the goal setting theory,the present study discussed the relationship between goal commitment, personal initiative and innovative performance. Interview and questionnaire data from a total of 253 entrepreneurs and senior managers showed a direct impact of goal commitment on innovative performance. Task-Oriented Personal Initiative and Relationship-Oriented Personal Initiativeplayed an intermediary role in the influence of goal commitment on innovative performance.Performance-oriented culture played a moderating role in the relationship between Relationship-Oriented Personal Initiative and innovative performance. This study has enriched the research field of innovation performance and provided entrepreneurs with practical guidance to improve enterprise innovation performance.

84 The Psychological Mechanisms and Influencing Factors of the Payment Effect
YU Yi-ning, LI Ou, WANG Lei
Payment plays an essential part in commodity transactions. The mainstream payment methods include cash, bank card and mobile payment. Payment methods influence consumer behavior deeply and such impact is referred to as the payment effect. Given that there lacks a systematic review of the effect, we review its psychological mechanisms, including the conditioning theory, the pain of paying theory and the double-entry mental accounting theory. Next, we discuss several influencing factors that moderated the effect of payment methods on the pain of payment including endogenous boundaries and exogenous boundaries. From the perspective of consumers’ decision-making mode, emotional attachment, and risk perception, future research could dig deeply into how new modes of payment, such as mobile payment and face-to-face payment, influence consumer behavior.
