LV Fang-yan, TAN Jing-bin, XU Peng-fei, XIONG Xi-ling, JIN Ze-hui, GAO Ding-guo
Social reward refers to any social stimuli or interaction that individuals appear to gain motivationalor entertaining experiences in the process of social interaction. This review mainly introduced the concept of social reward, the way of evaluation including measurements and paradigms. Theoretically, this review clearly points that there is not only a common neural basis for social reward and monetary reward processing, but also additional specific social brain regions for social reward processing. According to the important clinical significance of the neural basis of social reward, the future needmore studies to further understand the neurocognitive mechanismof social reward processing.

LIAO Si-hua, DING Feng-yi, XU Er-jia, HU Ping, HU Xiao-meng
Returnees usually face problemsof reverse culture shock and cultural re-adaptation when returning to their home country after living abroad for a period of time. These problems may have consequential impacts on returnee’s cognition, affect, interpersonal relationships and sociocultural adaptation. Our current work sorts out the psychological and behavioral consequences of the reverse cultural shock, and analyzes the conceptual framework and its underlying mental processes. It is our hope that this work would provide scientific evidence and empirical support to better inform the government and higher education institutions regarding policy making.

215 The Effect of Avatar Figure on Users' Health Cognition and Health Behaviour
This study investigates the influence of avatar figure on users' health cognition and health behavior. 128 college students were randomly assigned to the obese avatar group or the normal avatar group, and manipulated the avatar to live a day in The Sims 4. The results show that, compared with the normal avatar group, the obese avatar group spent more time engaging in healthier activities and made healthier choices for meals in the virtual environment. After the game, the self-efficacy on physical activity of this group also improved. These results validate our hypothesis: the obesity characteristics of the avatar may promote exercise and diet-controlling behavior by indirectly activating the user's goal representation.

223 Academic Influence of Studies in Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology in Last Forty Years as well as Research Highlights and Development Trends of the Applied Psychology in China
LIU Shen, GAN Ye-tong
CiteSpace and VOSviewer software was used to visualize the 1755 articles published in the Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology from 1981 to 2020 to explore the academic influence of the Chinese Journal of Applied Psychology as well as the research highlights and development trends of the applied psychology of China. The results found that the main areas of publications included management psychology, education psychology and psychological assessment. At the forefront of research, children, artificial intelligence and employee voice have become new research frontiers. Highlighting the applied research of management with leadership-subordinates and decision-making as the core, exploring the development of special groups and the application of educational psychology in real lives, and using a variety of methods to investigate the underlying psychological and neural mechanisms of emotion and cognition, etc. are the main trends of applied psychology research in China in the future.

244 Relationships between Self-esteem, Future Time Perspective, and Academic Performance: A Longitudinal Study
LIXiao-bao, WU Lan-ting, LYU Hou-chao
Both future time perspective and self-esteem are closely related to academic achievement,but the casual relationship between future time perspective and self-esteem is unclear. The aims of the presentlongitudinal study were to explore reciprocal relations between future time perspective and self-esteem in early adolescents, and to examine the predictive effects of future time perspective and self-esteem on academic achievement. A total of 213 adolescents from Henan junior middle school at Grade 1 participated questionnaire survey twice in a six-month interval. Through the path analysis, we found that both future time perspective and self-esteem at time 1 predicted significantly academic achievement at time 2. Cross-lagged regression analysesfor the total samples showed thatself-esteem at time 1 positively predicted future time perspective at time 2, but future time perspective at time 1 failed to predictself-esteem at time2.We also found that future time perspective at time 2 mediated the relationship between self-esteem at time 1 and academic achievement at time 2. The results of this study have implications for educational practice and suggestions were provided for the academic achievement of adolescents.

252 The Influence of Family Environment on the University Students’ Home-based Academic Emotions: Self-control as a Mediator
MA Yuan-guang
Home-based academic emotion refers to the emotional state of students in home-based learning. Family environment is an important external factor affecting individual emotion, and self-control is an important internal factor regulating individual emotion. Therefore, taking university students as participants, this study used the family environment scale, academic emotion questionnaire, self-control questionnaire to investigate the relationship between family environment, self-control and home-based academic emotion. The results showed that (1) university students had a better overall academic emotions at home, with positive academic emotions dominating, while negative academic emotions had a higher degree of shame and anxiety. (2) There were significant differences in students' home-based academic emotions in terms of gender, major and residence. Specifically girls had more positive academic emotions and less negative academic emotions than boys; Arts students had more positive academic emotions and less negative academic emotions than science students; Students living in urban areas had more positive academic emotions and less negative academic emotions than those living in rural areas. (3) The correlation analysis of family environment and home-based academic emotion found that the better the environment atmosphere of family relationship, the less contradictions in the family, the more positive home-based academic emotion, the less negative home-based academic emotion. (4) The self-control partly mediated the relationship between family environment and home-based academic emotion of university students. The results suggested that family environment is an important factor that affects university students' home-based academic emotions, and part of this influence is realized through the factor of individual self-control. This study provides a theoretical reference for understanding and promoting home-based academic emotions of university students. The results of the above research have certain guiding significance for universities and families to improve university students’ home-based learning.

262 A Review of Research on the Influence of Coding Learning on Preschool Children's Cognitive Development
WANG Lin, GENG Feng-ji, LI Yan
As coding curriculums have been gradually integrated into preschool education, researchers have started to explore the impact and mechanisms of coding learning on preschoolers’ cognitive development.By analyzingand integrating the exiting findings, we found that preschoolers’ cognitive abilities are developing rapidly, and coding learning can significantly improve the development of basic cognitive abilities, such as cognitive control and working memory. Additionally, coding learning can promote the development of high-order cognitive abilities, including problem solving and creative thinking, and enhance the outcome in mathematical and language learning. Finally, to provide scientific evidence for early coding education, we propose that research in this field still needs to be improved in terms of design, method, systematic research and other influencing factors, which would provide insight into the mechanism of the effect of early coding learning on cognitive development.
