Zhejiang province, Lijun Shi, Zhejiang Normal University, China
It has been more than 20 years since the emerging of psychology education in middle schools.
However, systematic evaluation system has not come into being. This study aims to establish a
relatively systematic evaluation system of psychology education in schools from the aspects of
planning, administration, teaching resources, finance management, the documentation of personal
details, the manipulation of tests, the process in educating, and its various effects. Thus primary
criteria in evaluating the current situations of psychology education in middle schools could be
established.
3118.18 Parent-child transmission of traditional mate preferences in Chinese-North American
families, Michaela Hynie, Richard Lalonde, Nam Lee, York University, Canada
Value transmission of traditional mate preferences was examined in Chinese immigrants to North
America. Adult children (n = 63) rated their preferred mate characteristics. Their parents (n = 63)
rated their own preferences for their child’s spouse. Children then completed measures of
self-construal, identity and values. Parents reported greater preference for traditional mate
characteristics than did children. Regression analyses demonstrated that children’s traditional mate
preferences were predicted by their parents’ preferences, their own family allocentricism and
interrelatedness. Family allocentrism was a marginally significant partial mediator of parent-child
preferences. The nature of value transmission in immigrant families is discussed.

behavior, Xin Zhi-yong, Jin Sheng-hua, China
The present study attempts to uncover the life structure of university students in contemporary

of the theories by Gorlow and Rokeach, it makes up the research questionnaire, purporting to
investigate values traits of university students in 2650 university students. By comparing and
contrasting the research results with those of Anonymous Sort Cards, Implicit Association Test,

3118.20 Determinants of values accepted by youth, Emilia Martynowicz, University of Gdansk,
Poland
Hypotheses about relations between value types accepted by young people and traits of personality,
temporal orientation, worries, a specialisation of studies and personal goals were tested in a study
in which 460 pupils and university students aged 18-27 completed Schwartz Value Survey,
Narcistic Personality Inventory, Temporal Orientation Scale, Worries Scale, Goals Life Survey
(twice). Results showed that, as predicted, value types preferred by students were related to
specialisation of studies, goals life, narcistic personality traits, micro and macro worries. There
were some statistically significant differences between males and females, between people in
different age. Temporal orientation had no meaning.
