of private education and give Chinese private education appropriate policy and legal space and
environment for development. 2) The opening up and reforming policy has exerted more than 20
years. It inspiring Chinese psychological requirement of knowledge acquisition, this psychological
demand can not be met by the education run by our nation. So the private education emerged at
the historic moment, 3) The current problems and countermeasures existing in the area of private
education.
2097.3 Selective exposure to supporting vs. conflicting information: The moderating role of
information number, Peter Fischer 1 , Stefan Schulz-Hardt 2 , Dieter Frey 1 , 1 University Munich,
Germany, 2 University Dresden, Germany
Up to now there is a dispute about whether people systematically prefer supporting or conflicting
information according to their decisions. Empirical evidence exists for both standpoints. Four
studies show that differences in the number of information available moderate the preference for
supporting and conflicting information. Presenting two pieces of information leads to a preference
for conflicting information; presenting more than two pieces leads to a preference for supporting
information. The preference for supporting information is mediated by asymmetric evaluation
processes whereas the preference for conflicting information is mediated by an increased salience
of the information direction.
2097.4 How disadvantaged group members explain their failure: Impact of group identification,
Nobuko Asai, Minoru Karasawa, Kobe University, Japan
The present study tested the hypothesis that the strength of identification with a disadvantaged
group mediates the willingness for discrimination attribution. Female undergraduates read a
scenario in which a female protagonist (self or a fictitious student) failed in a job interview, and
made causal attributions about the outcome. Participants with strong gender- identification were
more willing to attribute one’s own failure to discrimination than were those with low
identification. In contrast, the judgments concerning the in-group other constantly showed
discrimination attribution regardless of the level of identification. Coping strategies by victims of
discrimination and their psychological well-being are discussed.
2097.6 Brain activities during Go/No-Go Association Task, Kouichi Hioki 1 , Katsunori

Institute of Advanced Science and Technology, Human Stress Signal Reserch Center, Japan
This research examined brain activities with event-related potentials (ERP) during Go/No-Go
Association Task (GNAT) trials. In GNAT, incongruent trials result in longer reaction time than
congruent trials. We argue that this time -lag index can measure evaluative conflict between the
target concept and its attributes. We further hypothesized that the conflict predicted for
incongruent trials would influence the activation of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Result
showed that the frontal N200 and P300 were observed only in incongruent trials, demonstrating
that the GNAT time; lag may reflect cognitive conflict.
2097.7 The illusion of transparency between friends and unacquainted others: Do friends really
