195 How to Promote Team Pro-environmental Behavior: The Effect of Environmentally-specific Servant Leadership
PENG Jian，ZHANG Yuan-yuan，ZOU Yan-chun
Based on the affective events theory, this paper discusses the stimulating effect of environmentally-specific servant leadership on team pro-environmental behavior. The results of regression analysis on 118 team-level data showed that environmentally-specific servant leadership positively affects team pro-environmental behavior. Team natural awe plays a mediating role between environmentally-specific servant leadership and team pro-environmental behavior. Team collectivism orientation positively moderates the relationship between environmentally-specific servant leadership and team natural awe, and moderates the indirect effect of environmentally-specific servant leadership on team pro-environmental behavior through team natural awe. This paper reveals the facilitators of team pro-environmental behavior, which offers novel insights into pro-environmental behavior literature and green management practice.

203 The Effect of Individual Empathy on the Acceptance Willingness of Moral Autonomous Vehicles
CHU Hua-dong，HU Feng-pei，WANG Yu-hang，PENG Yu-qi，ZHAO Lei
In the current study, two experiments were adopted to investigate the effect of empathy on the acceptance of autonomous vehicles with different moral behavioral orientations. The results are as follows: (1) Low empaths did not care about the moral orientation of autonomous vehicles (utilitarian/deontology) when self-interest was not involved but was more inclined to purchase self-protective cars when saving more lives mean self-sacrifice. (2) When self-interest is not involved, high empaths individuals are more willing to purchase pro-social utilitarian autonomous vehicles, but can also accept autonomous vehicles to save themself, with comparable purchase intentions for pro-social utilitarian and self-protective autonomous vehicles. The results of the study provide some implications for resolving the social acceptance dilemma of autonomous vehicles.

211 The Association between Cyber-Ostracism and Externalizing Problems of Adolescents: A Moderated Mediating Model
HUANG Yun-yun，XIN Su-fei
To investigate the effect of cyber-ostracism on externalizing problems of adolescents and its mechanism, a sample of 2584 junior middle school students were surveyed. The results revealed that: cyber-ostracism could influence externalizing problems of adolescents through the mediating effect of self-control. Besides, belief in a just world could moderate the direct effect of cyber-ostracism on externalizing problems and the mediating effect of self-control. Specifically, belief in a just world could alleviate the negative effects of cyber-ostracism, but this protective effect was limited. The results provide new perspectives on the prevention and intervention of externalizing problems in adolescents.

219 A Study of Factors Influencing College Graduates’ Intention of Continue Seclusion Based on the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior
SUN You-bo，YIN Jin-rong，CHEN Nan-fei，CHEN Wan-lin，CAO Ye，WU Ming-zheng
Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social cognitive career theory (SCCT), an extended TPB model of college graduates’ seclusion intention was constructed by introducing self-esteem and career self-efficacy. According to the questionnaire and data analysis of 521 college graduates, it was found that self-esteem and career self-efficacy significantly increased the predictive effects of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on college graduates’ seclusion intentions; among these variables, college graduates ' subjective norms and attitudes toward seclusion were the main predictors of seclusion intentions. In addition, the effect of self-esteem on seclusion intention was significantly higher among male than female college graduates. The extended TPB model can reveal the mechanism of college graduates' seclusion. It is useful for promoting the employment of secluded college students.

227 Unpacking the Mediation Mechanism between Benevolent Sexism and Communication Resilience Processes
MAO Xin-yue，KUANG Kai
In modern society, behaviors that communicate sexism can be subtle and even perceived to be “subjectively favorable” and flattering to women. However, reinforcing women’s subordinate status, especially in China where feudal thoughts once prevailed, this kind of benevolent sexism may cause distresses by perpetuating the inequality it justifies. A survey was conducted to investigate how benevolent sexism affects the communication resilience processes of Chinese women (N = 300). Results indicated that: (1) benevolent sexism was positively associated with communication resilience processes, (2) the association between benevolent sexism and communication resilience processes was mediated by social support seeking, (3) the association between benevolent sexism and communication resilience processes was serially mediated by gender-specific system justification and self-efficacy. The study reveals that social support empowers women to withstand adverse external influences and cultivate efficacy beliefs amidst the justification of gender system, thereby reducing the ideological dissonance brought by “benevolent” and “sexism” and enhancing resilience.

235 The Interactive Impact of Emotional Involvement and Expected Value on Moral Decision-Making
HE Yu-zhen，LI Nian-ci，ZHENG Yan，GAN Tian
The dual-process model of moral decision-making posits that emotion processing and value judgments compete and cooperate with each other in moral decision-making. Previous studies have separately revealed the influences of emotional involvement and expected value (determined by magnitude and probability) on moral decision-making. However, there is no evidence to support their interaction. In this study, moral dilemma stories were used to investigate the interactive effects of magnitude and probability on moral decision-making under varying degrees of emotional involvement. The results showed that under the condition of low emotional involvement, the utilitarian tendency increased with increasing magnitude and decreasing probability. However, under the condition of high emotional involvement and high survival probability, the difference in utilitarian tendency was no longer significant between the higher two levels of magnitude (medium and large number of victims). This suggests that the influence of expected value was weakened under the condition of high emotional involvement where emotional processing is dominant. The results confirm the interaction of emotional involvement and expected value on moral decision-making, which is a valuable supplement to the dual-process model.

243 The Effect of Time Perception on Intertemporal Decision-Making in Heroin Addicts
YANG Ling，LI Ling，ZHAO Man-yu，CAO Hua
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of heroin addicts' time perception on their intertemporal decision-making. Time estimation task and intertemporal decision task were used to measure heroin addiction group and control group respectively. The results showed that the heroin addiction group showed an underestimation of the long time interval, and the time estimation error was significantly larger than that of the control group. The delayed discounting rate in heroin addict group was significantly higher than that in control group. Time perception can significantly predict intertemporal decision-making in the heroin addict group, but not in the control group. From the perspective of time perception, this study explained the "short-sighted" behavior of heroin addicts in intertemporal decision-making to a certain extent.

251 Validation of the Chinese Version of the Interaction Anxiety Scale in College Students
LI Dong-bin，LI Zi-fei，WANG Zi-yi
In order to improve the screening efficiency of social anxiety among college students, the present study sought to revise the Chinese version of the Interaction Anxiety Scale (IAS) and test for its reliability and validity in Chinese college students. A total of 1020 college students were investigated with IAS, Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale and Brief Fear Negative Evaluation Scale. Items validation, reliability, validity and cross-gender equivalence. According to the item analysis, the item 6 and item9 were deleted. The revised IAS in Chinese version includes two dimensions of tension and relaxation, and has good reliability and validity. In conclusion, Chinese version of the IAS can be used as a reliable tool to measure social anxiety among Chinese college students.

260 The Effect of Academic Performance on Blame Attribution for Disciplinary Violations of Middle School Students: The Role of Classroom Disciplinary Norms
AI Dan-feng，ZHOU Wen-ying，XU Zi-kai，LI Le-han，SUN Xin-yan，YIN Jun
Given the prevalence of school disciplinary violations among teenagers, it is essential to examine how blame attribution should be assigned for such incidents. The study investigated the impact of academic performance of rule violators on blame attribution among middle school students , and examined the moderating effect of classroom discipline norms on this relationship. The findings indicate that the academic performance of the violators has an impact on the blame attribution for their disciplinary violations. Middle school students attributed more blame to the disciplinary violations of the students with poor academic performance than those with excellent academic performance. Furthermore, strong classroom disciplinary norms can mitigate the aforementioned influence. The result suggests that the attention should be paid to the bias of blame attribution caused by the “identity” from academic performance.

269 Vitality Forms and Its Neural Substrates: In Search of the “Missing Jigsaw” of Social Cognition
ZHAO Zhu，CHEN Wei，WANG Yin
Most of social cognition theories describe the “what” and “why” dimension of action understanding. Stern coined the term “vitality forms” to remind us that there is a “how” dimension in action understanding that has been neglected. The brain imaging experiments confirmed the dorso-central insula involved in the processing of vitality forms through mirror mechanism, and vitality forms can be communicated thorough visual and audio modalities. Autism is defective in both the expressing and understanding of vitality forms which demonstrate its necessity in social interaction. Thus, the vitality forms support the embodied simulation and deepen our understanding of fast and direct social cognition. In the future, the experiment should go beyond the current variable of gentle/rude behavior and building a spectrum of vitality. The relationship among vitality forms, emotion and affect should be inspected closely, too. And all these works should be done in the framework of second person neuroscience.

281 The Impact of Air Pollution on Individual Emotions: Evidence from Big Data and Experiments
DU Mei-han，WU Jin-yan，CHEN Hao
There is a lack of high ecological validity real-time data analysis and high internal validity experimental research in studying the emotional consequences of air pollution. The current research first conducted panel data analyses on 52.92 million Weibo posts from 297,067 users in 422 prefecture-level cities in Mainland China, along with corresponding spatiotemporal data on air quality and meteorology. Results showed that PM2.5 and AQI could significantly negatively predict SnowNLP emotion index in 2014, while in 2017 when air pollution control measures were effective, no such association was found. The current research then utilized the picture-priming paradigm to conduct an experimental study and found that air pollution could significantly affect individual negative emotions, with threat perception acting as a mediator.
