2098.69 A study on the mental quality structure for college students in China, Tao Wang, Da jun
Zhang, Jian wen Chen, China
This study composed a questionnaire for the college students’ mental quality according to the
theoretical structure model. After researching on the mental quality of 2548 students from 13
colleges with this questionnaire, we concluded that the structure was of multi-dimensions and
multi-levels including 3 basic dimensions, 10 factors and 26 components. The cognitive
dimension was comprised of reflectivity, creativity, practicality and meta-cognition; the
personality dimension consisted of motivation, emotion, will and ego characters; the adaptation
dimension was constituted by self-oriented adaptation and social-oriented adaptation. The
empirical structure model could be conformed to the theoretical structure model.
2098.70 Traits of students’ value orientation and the environmental situation, Xiaowen Li, China
The objective of this research is to study the value orientation lying in the daily behavior of the
adolescents and analyze the relation between the students’ value orientation and environmental
situation. The results indicate that the adolescents have much more stronger individual value than
collective and relational value which is quite different from the traditional value. They have strong
inclination of competition and efficacy, and obvious tendency of equal and harmonious assort with
adults. The correlations reveal that active learning and class atmosphere help to bring about
students’ intrinsic and initiative value orientation.
2098.71 A research of primary school children’s understanding and moral evaluation of lies and
truths, Yanxin Zhu 1 , Risheng Zhang 2 , 1 Liaoning Normal University, China; 2 Beijing Normal
University, China
This research investigated the differences of the participants’ understanding and moral evaluation
of different types of lies and truths. 90 subjects in three groups (8,10,12) were asked to determine
whether the characters lied or told truth and make moral judgments on their statements. Results
revealed that primary school children mainly relied on factuality to determine whether a statement
was a lie or a truth. Self-regard lies were considered as the most serious lie type than trick lies and
white lies. The moral evaluation of direct truth telling is lower than positive truth telling and
factual truth telling.
2098.72 The relationship between individual characteristics and psychosocial adjustment of
preschool children, Andreja Brajsa Zganec, Croatia, HR
The aim was to examine the relationship between dimensions of children’s temperament (negative
affectivity, extraversion/surgency and effortful control) and externalizing and internalizing
problems, understanding of emotion and aggressive and prosocial behaviour of children. The
investigation included 506 children (265 girls, 241 boys) aged between three and seven as well as
their parents and kindergarten teachers. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted with
externalizing and internalizing problems, understanding of emotion and aggressive and prosocial
behaviour as criterion variables and sociodemographic variables and dimension of temperament as
predictors. The results showed that effortful control is the most important for better child
psychosocial adjustment.
