195 The Impact of Digital Media on Children's Executive Function
CHENG Xing-ru, TONG Yu, WANG Fu-xing, CAOXin-yun, LI Hui, HUXiang-en
Digital media is pervasive and has become an integral part of children's lives. Studies have found that early exposure to digital media is related to sleep, motor developmental skills, attention difficulties, language and literacy skills. In addition, researchers are exploring the impact of digital media use on executive function. Based on the perspective of family media ecology, this paper reviewed the impact of digital media on children's executive function from characteristics of digital media, characteristics of family environment and attributes of the child. It was found that touch-screen interactive media, educational content, high family socioeconomic status play protective role in the relationship between digital media use and executive function, however, fast-paced content, fantastical content, background TVhave negative effect on executive function. Future studies should focus on the role of children's temperament in the impact of digital media on executive function and the effects of digital media on different components of executive function.

208 The Influence of Father Presence on Daughter's Mate Preference: The Moderating Effect of of Maternal Attitude
AN Ye-qing, QI Shi-san, ZENG Xiao-ye
With the hot discussion of "late marriage and non marriage" and "low fertility crisis", women's mate preference has attracted our attention. This study adopts the usage of both questionnaire methodology and experimental methodology to investigate the influence of father presence on daughter's mate preference and the moderating effect of maternal attitude. Results: (1) Father presence will affect the daughter's mate preference, the higher the level of father presence, the more the daughter prefers the men who looks similar to her father; (2) The maternal attitude plays a moderating effect in the influence of father presence on daughter's mate preference. The more positive the maternal attitude, the more significant the positive predictive effect of the father presence on daughter's mate preference. This study is of great significance to guide women's mate preference and improve marriage and fertility rates.

216 Peer Ostracism and Suicide Behavior among Adolescent: A Moderated Mediation Model
LIU Ye, LAN Jian, YU Yue, LIU Xiao-qian, WANG Guo-fang, LI Hui-fang
This study examined loneliness as a mediator and perceived school climate as a moderator in the relationship between peer ostracism and adolescent suicide behavior. The participants of this study were 1218 students from 4 primary schools and 4 middle schools in Sichuan Province. Participants were asked to provide ratings for their ostracism experiences at school, the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Delaware School Climate Survey, the suicide behavior items from Health-Risk Behavior Inventory and some other information. The results showed that: (1) Peer ostracism was significantly and positively related to adolescent suicide behavior. (2) Peer ostracism was found to be significantly and positively related to loneliness; in turn, loneliness was significantly and positively related to adolescent suicide behavior. Taken together, loneliness mediated the relationship between peer ostracism and adolescent suicide behavior. (3) Perceived school climate moderated the relationship between loneliness and adolescent suicide behavior. Loneliness has a significant effect on adolescent suicide behavior only when perceived school climate is low. (4) Perceived school climate further moderated the indirect relationship between peer ostracism and adolescent suicide behavior through loneliness. The indirect effect of perceived peer ostracism on adolescent suicide behavior through loneliness is significant only when perceived school climate is low. This study advances understanding of the peer ostracism-adolescent suicide behavior relationship by identifying loneliness as an explanatory mechanism and perceived school climate as a boundary condition that peer ostracism might induce adolescent suicide behavior.

224 The Influence of Cyber-ostracism on University Students' Online Deviant Behavior: Moderated Mediation Effect
SHI Chang-xiu, DAI Chen-hui, MA Hua-wei, ZHAO Xiao-jun
To explore the influence of cyber-ostracism on online deviant behavior, this work conducted a survey study on 414 college students using the Cyber-ostracism Questionnaire, the Online Deviant Behavior Scale, the Ruminative Thinking Scale, and the Social Anxiety Scale. The results showed that males had significantly higher scores of cyber-ostracism and online deviant behavior than females did. Ruminative thinking partially mediated the relationship between cyber-ostracism and online deviant behavior, and social anxiety moderated the relationship between cyber-ostracism and online deviant behavior, and the mediating effect of ruminative thinking held in both male and female groups, while the moderating effect of social anxiety held only in the male group.

231 Relationship between Shame and Self-aggression in Male Violent Offenders: The Mediating Roles of Self-esteem and Anger-in Expression
LIU Ning, YANG Bo
To explore the relationship between shame and self-aggression among violent offenders, and the mediating effects of self-esteem and anger-in expression. A total of 533 adultmale violent offenders completed shame scale, self-Esteem scale, anger-in expression subscale and self-aggression subscale. The results showed that: (1) shame, self-esteem, anger-in expression and self-aggression were significantly correlated with each other. (2) shame can positively predict self-aggression, self-esteem and anger-in expression play a mediating role in the relationship between shame and self-aggression respectively, and the indirect effect of self-esteem, anger-in expression accounted for17.91% and 34.33% of the total effect. The current study revealed: shame play a critical role causing self-aggression in violent offenders, as well as it can work by lowering self-esteem and increasing anger-in expression.

239 The Influence of Guilt and Shame on Self-Serving Bias
WUJun-sheng, ZHANG Lu, LIU Jia-bin, JIAO Lan
Although guilt and shame are both negative self-conscious emotions, they are essentially different, and their impact on self-serving bias has not been clear.In the present study, we investigated the influence of guilt and shame on self-serving bias in the success or failure responsibility events and interpersonal responsibility events respectively. The results showed only shame increased individual self-improvement in the context without external cues. while in the context of external cues, guilt inhibited individual self-serving bias and shame increased individual self-protection. The results enlighten the individual to better adapt to society and maintain mental health.

254 Shared Reality in Communication
ZANG Hui-lin, LI Qiang, WEI Xiao-wei, ZHAI Hong-kun
Shared reality is a sense of experienced commonality of inner states with others about an object. Inner states include feelings, beliefs, or evaluations. Communication plays an important role in creation, development, and functioning of shared reality. The creation of shared reality is synergized by epistemic motivation and relational motivation. This role is specifically demonstrated through three elements of communication, including communication subject, communication object and information stimulation. Based on the interpersonal-intergroup behavior continuum, the function of shared reality is fully exploited in different fields at three levels, including interpersonal communication, intragroup communication and intergroup communication. Example domains are intimacy, culture, and stereotypes. Future study should expand and improve the research methods and mechanisms of shared reality, strengthen the organic combination of shared reality and related theories and fields, and actively use shared reality to explain current social phenomena.

268 The Psychological Mechanisms of Redistributive Preferences and Its Enlightenments to Common Prosperity
BAIJie, XUBu-xiao, Yang Shen-long, Guo Yong-yu
Redistributive preferences refer to the degree to which people support or prefer redistributive policies. Its psychological mechanisms have always been the focus of theory and research in this field. To this end, researchers have proposed three different perspectives. The first perspective is the self-interest perspective, which suggests that one’s redistributive preferences are motivated by economic self-interest. The second perspective is the fair cognition perspective, also called the ideology hypothesis. This perspective argues that in addition to economic self-interest, one’s beliefs about social fairness and equality can also influence redistributive preferences. The third perspective is the social sampling perspective. This perspective depicts social sampling processes in which individuals make biased estimates about economic self-interest and social fairness by referring to their social circles. Future research should adopt an integrated perspective, draw on the findings of similar fields to explore other possible mechanisms, deeply seek political behavioral outcomes and let redistributive preferences research play a more important role in achieving common prosperity.

280 ERP Evidence for the Effect of Music on Language Processing
WANG Xing, LI De-gao, LI Yi, SONG Dan-gui
In order to examine the influence of music processing on sentence reading in Chinese, an ERP (event-related potentials) study was conducted on a group of musicians and a cohort of non-musicians, in which the language and music stimuli were presented simultaneously. The language stimuli were Chinese sentences which ended with number-classifier-noun collocations or number-classifier-verb clusters, and the music stimuli were chord sequences which ended with in-key or out-of-key chords. The out-of-key chords elicited larger early right anterior negativity (ERAN), syntactic category violation in sentence reading resulted in larger N400 and P600, and only the amplitude of P600 was affected by musical syntactic processing. In comparison with the non-musicians, the musicians had a larger ERAN and an attenuated P600, and their distributions of N400 and P600 were more left-oriented. In conclusion, the processing of Chinese number-classifier-noun collocations and that of chord sequences share the syntactic integration resources by enrolling two interactive neural mechanisms, which could be modulated by music training.
