    Behavioral Genetics: Studies on Life from Macroscopic to Microcosmic Perspective
    Bai Yunjing,Zheng Xigeng,Ge Xiaojia,Sui Nan
    2005, 13 (3):  305-313. 
    Abstract ( 1996 )   PDF (580KB) ( 3539 )  
    Behavioral genetics is an interdiscipline based on the development of several branches of science. Dating from the end of 19th century, behavioral genetics has placed us in the third century. Whether from Mendel’s single-gene law to interplay between multiple genes and environmental factors explaining complex human behaviors, or from traditional quantitative genetics to linkage and association studies and then to applying tools of functional genomics, there have been revolutionary breakthroughs in behavioral genetics. Although a clear elucidation of how genes affect behaviors is still in the fetal stage, there is little doubt that the development of behavioral genetics will provide a better understanding of behaviors of human beings, relieve the suffering from some complex disorders and ultimately lead to improvement of the whole society.

    Cognitive Neuroscience Research on Recollection and Familiarity
    Fan Xiaoyan,Guo Chunyan
    2005, 13 (3):  314-319. 
    Abstract ( 2153 )   PDF (545KB) ( 1824 )  
    The dual-process models suggest that there are two forms of recognition: familiarity and recollection. The results of cognitive neuroscience on recollection and familiarity suggest that they are two functionally dissociable processes, and they rely on qualitatively distinct brain regions or neural mechanisms. The results of amnesic patients indicate that the hippocampal region is critical for recollection, whereas surrounding structures in the medial and inferior temporal lobe are important for familiarity. Familiarity and recollection have different scalp distribution and they are related with left prefrontal regions and later parietal activities separately.

    Involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptors in Stress-Induced Behavioral Changes
    Li Huanhuan,Lin Wenjuan
    2005, 13 (3):  320-326. 
    Abstract ( 1304 )   PDF (565KB) ( 1745 )  
    Studies in the physiological psychology field have been focused on the brain mechanisms underlying stress-induced behavioral changes. The role of NMDA receptor (NR) in mediating stress-induced behavioral changes has gained more and more attention. NR is important for synaptic plasticity, brain development, and learning and memory. It has been shown that different stressors up-regulate the level or activity of NR in some brain regions, such as hippocampus and amygdale. Injection of the NR antagonist into these regions prior to stress can reduce stress-induced anxiety and depression, suggesting that NR are important mediators of stress-induced behavioral changes. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are important substance related closely with stress response and participate the process of brain damage caused by stress. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists may be useful for treatment of stress-related mental disorder, such as recurrent depression, posttraumatic stress disorder. Furthermore, studies on neurogranin, a downstream signal molecule in NR-dependant transduction pathway, provided further information about the mechanisms underlying the effects of stress on behavior.

    Mitochondrion And Cognitive Aging
    Bu Cuiping,Xi Gengsi
    2005, 13 (3):  341-347. 
    Abstract ( 2120 )   PDF (575KB) ( 2084 )  
    At present, many subjects, such as psychology, biology, sociology, etc, focus their attention on cognitive aging. From the point of view of biology, this paper mainly discussed the relation between the mitochondrion and cognitive aging. The mitochondrion as an important cell organ acts on the cognitive aging in many aspects, such as quantity, distribution, energy supply, Ca2+ concentrations, nerve cell apoptosis, and mitochondrial gene. When mitochondrial functions are abnormal in the aging course, the cognitive function may be influenced by the negative effects. These investigations may offer useful evidences for understanding the cognitive aging mechanism deeply.

    A Review of Supervisory Commitment Theory
    Zhou Mingjian,Bao Gongmin
    2005, 13 (3):  356-365. 
    Abstract ( 1426 )   PDF (592KB) ( 2111 )  
    Supervisory commitment, a branch of employee commitment theory, arose in 1980’s and developed based on organizational commitment. The scholars measured it using Allen & Meyer’s and O’Reilly & Chatman’s organizational commitment scales, while replacing the word “organization” with “supervisor”. Chen Zhen-xiong, from Hong Kong, has measured supervisory commitment most systematically. Culture, PSS (Perceived supervisory support) and LMX (Leader-member exchange) are the three antecedents of supervisory commitment scholars have found. And they all evidenced that supervisory commitment had more effects on job performance and organizational citizenship behavior than organizational commitment, but not all of them had the same views on job satisfaction and turnover intention. Hunt & Morgan evidenced that supervisory commitment lead to organizational commitment, but few scholars have followed this opinion. The authors point out four prospects for the future research.

    Preliminary Research on Piaget’s New Theory in His Later Years
    Jiang Jingchuan
    2005, 13 (3):  366-371. 
    Abstract ( 2290 )   PDF (560KB) ( 3729 )  
    Piaget’s classical theory of cognitive development, though considered classic, was not completely satisfactory and so it was criticized frequently in the 1960s and 1970s. This article began with the introduction of the reasons why it was criticized and challenged, followed by the theory reconstruction effort in Piaget’s later years and then the author tried to give preliminary evaluation on Piaget’s new theory. Author pointed out Piaget’s new theory based on these new concepts of correspondence, morphism, category and transform. Moreover, it regard development as a evolvement process from intramorphism to intermorphism to transmorphism. Therefore, Piaget’s new theory emphasized the concept of level and meaning logic, weakened the concept of stage and proposition logic.

    The Dialogue between the Postmodern Psychologist and the Modern Psychologist
    Yang Ying,Guo Yongyu
    2005, 13 (3):  379-384. 
    Abstract ( 1031 )   PDF (546KB) ( 1656 )  
    When the modern psychology was up against many dilemmas, the postmodern psychology, which adopted the new angle of view and the standpoint of the postmodernism severely, criticized and reanalyzed the every aspect of the modern psychology. Every psychologist had different viewpoints on the postmodern psychology, so the people who supported the modern psychology carried out many hassles with those who held with the postmodern psychology. This article summarized those arguments in the recent ten years, including the psychological epistemology、the study’s quality、the study’s method and the postmodern psychological contribution in the western psychology. When presenting those arguments, the author also gave some comments. The aim of doing so was to make the psychological development more clear, and let us comprehend more about both the theory construction of the postmodern psychology and the modern psychology, so the field of psychology would get more findings.
