3 Discounting Rate and Collective Trust in the “Fictional Entities” of the Existing Monetary System: A Cross-National Survey in China, Italy, UK, and the United States
SHEN Si-chu, KUANG Yi, YANG Shu-wen, MA Jia-tao, LI Shu, Rao Li-lin
While the world is undergoing changes unseen in a century, we conduct a cross-national survey in China, Italy, United Kingdom, and the United States to examine the respondents’ intertemporal choices with double-dated mixed outcomes that were expressed by using five major global currencies (U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen, and RMB) and one hard currency “gold.” We found that 1) Chinese people believe that a gap exists in the discounting rate of the five kinds of banknotes, and the order from small to large is: RMB, U.S. dollar, euro, British pound, and Japanese yen, whereas in Europe and the United States, there exists almost no gap in the discounting rate of these five banknotes; 2) The Chinese still believe in the hard currency “gold” (RMB is linked to gold). Meanwhile, the people in Europe, the United States, and other countries no longer trust in the hard currency “gold” (the dollar is decoupled from gold). Researchers can use our findings as behavioral markers to estimate whether these currencies remain as “hard currency” in people’s minds or whether the worldwide crisis will affect our collective trust in banknotes. In the language of Harari’s Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, we can utilize such a behavioral marker to assessto what extent we still collectively trust in the “fictional entities” of the existing monetary system.

12 Exposure to positive and negative nature affects cooperative behavior: The mediating role of cooperative expectations
SUN Qian, CHENG Hong-li, LIU Yong-fang
The present work aims to investigate how exposure either positive or negative nature affects cooperative behavior and assess the mediating role of cooperative expectations in this causal relation. A total of 186 participants were randomly presented with self-developed pictures of positive nature, negative nature, and non-nature. Subsequently, participants were required to play public goods game first, and then were required to indicate their cooperative expectations towards other players. Results showed that exposure to positive nature increased cooperative behavior, while exposure to negative nature decreased cooperative behavior. Moreover, positive nature (vs. non-nature) facilitated participants' cooperative behavior by increasing cooperative expectations of their interaction partner. These results suggest that exposure to nature with different valence affects cooperative behavior in different pathways. The current study fills a gap in existing research and sheds light on how to use the natural environment to promote cooperation.

20 A “booster” of green consumption: The eco-label effect
ZHANG Mei, FU Xin-yuan, PAN Pei-lin, XIONG Ren-fei
The eco-label effect refers to a psychological phenomenon that people have more positive perception and evaluation, higher willingness to pay and behavior level, and better using performance of products or services with eco-labels. In view of the complexity of the current research but the lack of crossover in scattered fields, and the inconsistency of empirical research results, we systematically review the definition, manifestation, mechanism, contingency factors and dilemma of the eco-label effect, and summarizes a more integrated research framework. This study is of great significance for the conduction of interdisciplinary research, the breakthrough of dilemma and the development of empirical research in the field of China’s green consumption.

32 The Influence Mechanism of Team Power Structure on Multilevel Creativity
WENG Jie, SUN Ting-ting
Based on the Motivated Information Processing Model, the mediating mechanism of team power structure affecting individual creativity and team creativity was explored. The results showed that: (1) egalitarian team power structure positively influenced individual creativity and team creativity. (2) Team information sharing fully mediated between team power structure and individual creativity. (3) Team goal sharing partially mediated between team power structure and team creativity.

40 Trade-off Between Cost and Benefit in Cognitive Offloading
ZHANG Shan-shuang，LIU Yan
Cognitive offloading: the use of physical action to alter the information processing requirements of a task so as to reduce cognitive demand. (such as programming a smartphone to remind you of an upcoming appointment). Previous studies have shown that people have an irrational tendency to offload (excessive use of cognitive offloading), which may be due to the wrong metacognitive beliefs (about themselves or external tools) and so on. It may be useful to interfere with the individual's metacognitive to optimize cognitive offloading decision-making behavior. Future studies should also shed light on the causes of the excessive use of cognitive offloading and develop systemic interventions to promote individual using cognitive offloading optimally.

51 Interference in Visual Perceptual Learning: A Long-term Memory-based Perspective
HUANG Hui，LI Sheng
Recently, researchers have begun to investigate visual perceptual learning from the perspective of long-term memory. Current study reviews the interference phenomenon in visual perceptual learning from three aspects, including the encoding stage, the consolidation stage and the reactivation and reconsolidation stage, and attempts to clarify the interference phenomenon of visual perceptual learning. The authors suggest that future research should focus on the neural mechanism underlying the interference in the consolidation stage of visual perceptual learning, the role of perceptual memory integration in the reactivation and consolidation stage in reducing the interference between multiple tasks, and the impact of contextual information on memory interference in multi-task training procedures. The proposed research could benefit the optimization of the training procedure and the reduction or elimination of the mutual interference between multiple perceptual trainings.

60 Distributive Equality in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders from the perspective of Dual Process Theory
ZHANG Jing, YANG Fu-yi, SUN Qing-zhou
Distributive equality reflects the fairness and behavior of children with autism and is an important part of moral judgment. The dual process theory believes that intuitive reasoning and deliberate reasoning compete when children with autism process the distribution information. Intuitive reasoning is dominant as a responder and deliberate reasoning is dominant as a proposer. Individual information processing ability and distributional context affect the use of processing system. In the future, more empirical evidence should be provided to explore the influence of different social relationships, home and away environment on distributive behavior of children with autism, and the promotion of education interventions on the concept of children’s equality.

71 The Relation between Parental Educational Anxiety and Adolescent Emotional and Behavioral Problems： The Mediating Role of Negative Parenting Styles
GAO Ya-bing, HU Jing-jing, ZHOU Li-hua, TU Xiao-qing
In the current study, a total of 1155 elementary and middle school students and their mothers or fathers were selected as subjects through two sub-studies to examine how maternal educational anxiety and paternal educational anxiety affect adolescent emotional and behavioral problems through maternal and paternal negative parenting styles respectively. The results showed that (1) both parental education anxiety and maternal education anxiety had a significant positive predictive effect on adolescent emotional and behavioral problems; (2) both maternal and paternal negative parenting styles had a mediating effect in the relationship between maternal education anxiety and adolescent emotional and behavioral problems; and (3) maternal negative parenting styles had a mediating effect in the relationship between paternal educational anxiety and adolescent emotional and behavioral problems.

80 The relationship of parental overparenting, parent-child conflict and adolescent depression, and differences in developmental stages
WANG Xin-yi, LIU Si-han, WU Xin-chun
The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating role of parent-child conflict in the relation between overparenting and adolescent depression, as well as to compare the mediating effect in different developmental stages of adolescence. A total of 2041 adolescents completed the Chinese version of Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran, Parent-child Conflict Questionnaire, and Self-Rating Depression Scale. Results indicated that (1) in the total sample, father-child conflict mediated the association between paternal overparenting and adolescent depression, and mother-child conflict mediated the association between maternal overparenting and adolescent depression. (2) In three stages, the indirect effect of mother-child conflict was all significant, whereas the indirect effect of father-child conflict was only significant in early adolescence; in middle adolescence, the total effect of paternal overparenting on adolescent depression was not significant, while in late adolescence, only the direct effect of paternal overparenting was established.

89 The Mediating Effect of Self-control on the Relationship between Physical Activity and Sleep Quality among Undergraduates: Base on A Daily Diary Study
The primary goal of the present study was to investigate the mediating effect of self-control on the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality among college students. 156 college students completed the daily diary survey to measure their physical activity, self-control level, and sleep quality for seven consecutive days. The results of the multilevel model analysis showed that: (1) daily physical activity could not predict the daily self-control and next daily sleep quality on the night, but the daily self-control could positively predict the next daily sleep quality. (2) Overall physical activity was positively correlated with self-control and sleep quality, and self-control played a partial mediating role between physical activity and sleep quality.
