3 Experiential Advantage in Consumer Decision Behavior: Phenomenon, Mechanism and Prospect
LI Bin，FENG Kai， JIN Lai， LEI Li， LI Ai-mei
According to previous research, experiential consumption has been found to contribute more to individuals' sense of happiness compared to materialistic consumption, indicating the presence of an experiential advantage phenomenon. Expanding on this notion, our study explores the existence of the experiential advantage phenomenon in consumer decision-making behavior. Specifically, we investigate how consumers not only derive stronger emotional utility from experiential consumption but also exhibit a greater preference for it in their behavior, as compared to materialistic consumption, at different stages of the purchasing decision process. Additionally, we delve into the theoretical mechanisms underlying the emergence of the experiential advantage phenomenon in consumer decision-making behavior. Finally, we provide practical implications and future prospects based on our findings.

16 Exploring the Antecedents of Suicide Risk and Identifying and Predicting Suicide Risk: The Application of Machine Learning
YANG Ling，ZHOU Ya-jie，ZHANG Jian-xun
This study utilizes the Money Delay Discounting Task (MDDT) to explore the effects of episodic future thinking with the approach and avoidance of motivational emotions on intertemporal decision-making. Our findings reveal that imagining future events with approach-motivated emotions reduces individuals' delay discounting rates in intertemporal decision-making, whereas imagining future events with avoidance-motivated emotions increases delay discounting rates. These results clarify that the motivational direction of anticipated emotions play a role in the effects of episodic future thinking on intertemporal decision-making.

24 Mechanisms of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy Intervention in Traumatic Symptoms
ZOU Ming-xuan| JI Jing|HE Yu-qing|YIN Meng-xin|YU Huai-huai| WANG Xiu-chao
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a new psychotherapeutic therapy to reshape patients' traumatic memories with the help of bilateral stimulation in the form of eye movements and other forms of stimulation. It was initially used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. At present, the effectiveness of EMDR in treating trauma symptoms has been supported by the results of empirical studies, but the mechanism of its therapeutic effect has been less studied, and there is a lack of summarizing and analyzing the theoretical mechanism of this technique in China. This paper introduces the concept, theoretical basis and bilateral stimulation of EMDR technology, summarizes and analyzes the theoretical mechanism of EMDR intervention in trauma memory, and proposes a new direction for mechanism research. Considering the important role of bilateral stimulation, the common physiological activation mechanism between theoretical models and the development of new EMDR technology, EMDR mechanism can be explored in the future from the perspective of physiological-psychological integration model by combining the different attributes of bilateral stimulation with the form of new technology.

37 The Effect of Different Types of Social Support on Bullying Coping: the Moderating Role of Willingness to Seek Help
WEI Jie, ZHU Ting-ting, HONG Xin-wei, CHEN Yan-ling, FU En-na, ZHANG Lin
In order to explore the influence of different types of social support on bullying coping and the role of willingness to seek help, 900 junior high school students were investigated using a 3 (support source: family, teachers, peers) × 2 (support content: emotion, tools) × 2 (willingness to seek help: high, low) between-subjects design. The results showed that: (1) the higher the instrumental support and teacher support, the higher the bullying coping ability; (2) willingness to seek help moderates the effects of different social supports on bullying coping. Providing targeted social support is helpful to improve the coping ability of teenagers in school bullying, and provides a reference for intervention and reduction of school bullying.

45 Revision of the Chinese Version of the Developmental Crisis Questionnaire and its Reliability and Validity Test Hot!
WANG Pai，YANG Yisheng，ZHANG Yali，Sofya NARTOVA-BOCHAVER，Victoria YEROFEYEVA
Objective: To revise The Developmental Crisis Questionnaire (DCQ) and test its reliability and validity in adult age groups. Methods: The Chinese version of DCQ was determined by item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, and its structure was determined by confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, the reliability and validity of the scale were tested. Results: The 10 items of Chinese DCQ had good differentiation. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (χ2/df=3.01, RMR=0.05, CFI=0.96, GFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.06) all supported the three-factor structure, and the reliability and validity of the scale met the requirements of measurement. Conclusion: The revised Chinese version of DCQ meets the standards of measurement and can be used as a reliable tool to measure developmental crisis of Chinese adult.

54 The Effect of Emotion on Deceptive Behavior
HUANG Chao-Zheng， ZHOU Ai-Bao， WANG Rui-Yan
Deception is ubiquitous in daily life, with emotion constituting a significant factor influencing the emergence and modulation of deceptive behavior. By investigating the impact of emotional valence and arousal on deceptive behavior, it has been observed that negative emotion tend to augment individual's engagement in deceptive behavior. However, findings regarding deceptive behaviors under the influence of positive emotion are inconsistent, possibly stemming from variations in experimental settings and research emphases. Negative emotion seem to shape individuals' perception of external cues and internal moral standards. Emotion arousal contributes to divergent effects on deceptive behaviors, particularly evident in instances of self-deception and deception towards others. Future research could delve into the differential effects of emotion in diverse deceptive scenarios and individual traits, as well as conduct more in-depth investigations into the cognitive neuroscience of deceptive behavior under the influence of emotion.

66 The Role of Associative Learning in Emotional Contagion
CHEN Ying，ZHANG Ling，XU Xiaohui， WANG Hailu，WEI Yanqiu，HU Ping
Emotional contagion is a phenomenon of interpersonal emotional matching in social interaction, where emotions can be transferred from the sender to the receiver. The level of emotional contagion on the receiver shows differences in different contexts or situations. However, there is limited attention to these influencing factors' general characteristics and regulatory mechanisms. In view of this, this article starts from the perspective of the origin and development of emotional contagion, and points out that associative learning is not only a general mechanism for developing emotional contagion in social interaction, but also plays an important role in regulating the level of emotional contagion. The article also summarizes the research evidence on using the conditioning paradigm to regulate the level of emotional contagion, and proposes the possible neural basis for the occurrence of emotional contagion and the level to be regulated under the framework of associative learning. Finally, it looks forward to future research on emotional contagion from the perspective of associative learning.

78 The influence of context on emotional word processing and its mechanism during sentence reading
SUI Xue，ZHANG Yin-xian， LI Yu-tong
Emotion is highly contextual. How emotional words are processed in contexts has become an important issue. Therefore, this paper aimed to review previous studies on the characteristics of emotional words in neutral contexts and the effect of emotional context on emotional word processing. The emotional meaning in neutral contexts is ambiguous and non-constrained. In the early processing of emotional words, the emotional effects are mixed. Emotional information enhances semantic integration and more elaborated or sustained analysis of affective stimuli in the late processing of emotional words. In emotional contexts, when the emotion of contexts and words are congruent, word processing is enhanced, especially in semantic integration and affective evaluations. Moreover, individuals are more likely to predict the emotion of words. When the emotion of contexts and words are conflicted, it is difficult to integrate words into context. Future studies are required to further explore the influence of emotional contexts on emotional word processing, other factors modulating language processing to investigate the cause of different prediction biases, and the influence of complex contexts, such as social, communicative and pragmatic contexts, on emotional information processing.

89 Co-actors’ Intentions Impact the Occurrence of Social Transfer of Learning Effect
WANG Jun，ZHAO Meng-fei，XIANG Li-ya
To clarify the cognitive mechanism underlying the social transfer-of-learning effect, the present study manipulated co-actors’ intentions under different experimental conditions and examined how the social transfer-of-learning effect is impacted. Through two experiments, co-actors either participate with intentions (e.g., an active actor) or without intentions (e.g., a wave cat, a passive observer or a blindfold participant). The results revealed that social transfer-of-learning effect only occurred when co-actors proactively performed tasks. These findings indicate that representing co-actors' intentions is necessary for the occurrence of social transfer-of-learning effect and provide further supporting evidence for the co-representation account. More importantly, the present study clarifies theoretical discrepancies in previous literatures and sheds light on how to improve learning performance through joint actions.
