This essay mainly discussed the impact of China's "Double Reduction" policy on students from the perspective of educational ecosystem theory. The "Double Reduction" policy aims to reduce students' excessive homework burden and the burden of out-of-school training, so as to alleviate students' pressure. This paper first introduces the concepts of educational ecosystem theory, such as microsystem, mesosystem and exosystem. It then discusses how the "Double Reduction" policy has changed the educational ecosystem, especially at the macrosystem level. The paper also discusses how the implementation of the "double-decrease" policy affects students through various system levels. In general, the "double-decrease" policy has helped to reduce the pressure on students' development, but it has also brought uncertainty to academic performance and career development. This paper adopts a qualitative research methodology by interviewing students and parents to explore their attitudes towards the "double-decrease" policy and its perceived impacts. It also concludes that if China's unique education system does not change accordingly, the effects of the double-minus policy will be greatly weakened by society, and the long-term impact will be more uncertain.

The results of 37 studies comparing the psychological health of people with visual impairments to unimpaired control groups or populations are included in this overview of the literature. Individuals with visual impairments typically show a marked reduction in psychological well-being related to their vision. The decrease in metrics unrelated to eyesight, however, was not very significant. Additionally, because of the difficulties and restrictions related to their condition, people with visual impairment also frequently have worse psychological health and are more vulnerable to mental diseases including anxiety and depression. This review emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing the psychological well-being of visually impaired individuals, providing valuable insights for future research, interventions, and support systems aimed at improving their overall mental health and well-being.

The exam-oriented Chinese education has a long history in China. After the introduction of Project-based learning, an educational method contrary to Chinese education, into China, many scholars and even parents began to compare the two methods and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. As the subject of education, students' opinions on educational methods are crucial. This study collected 31 participants who had experienced two educational methods, Chinese education, and project-based learning, and investigated their approval and affection of these two educational methods, as well as the effectiveness of their learning and their preference between the two methods through questionnaires. participants were asked what they thought were the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of education using multiple choice questions. The survey results show that participants generally prefer project-based learning because of its relaxed classroom atmosphere. However, some of them think that in project-based learning, there are always team members who will delay the progress or quality of the project.

This dissertation investigates the impact of a Sino-Portuguese exchange program on the personal development of Chinese undergraduate students majoring in Portuguese who have participated in the programme for a semester or a year. Generally, students aim to enhance language proficiency, expand cultural perspectives, and establish new social networks during exchange study.

Delayed gratification is a manifestation of self-control. This type of psychological phenomenon is widely present in various groups, and it is closely related to the consumption behavior of college students. In the era of rapid development of Internet finance, college students, as the mainstream consumer group, inevitably choose to consume in advance to meet their immediate needs. Due to the fact that college students are in a stage of confusion about their future career and life, delayed gratification psychology and present bias may lead to many irrational consumption phenomena. In order to pursue psychological balance, college students may prefer to choose random financial products and services on the internet for lending and consumption without thinking rationally based on their own situation. Based on this, this article attempts to explore the consumption choices of contemporary college students and the relationship between delayed gratification and college students through questionnaire surveys. Based on the results of the investigation and analysis, this article proposes several specific situations and possible causes of the relationship between college students' consumption psychology and delayed gratification.

According to the existing research, the part of the brain in charge of language is also linked with musical functions. Besides, it is not a secret that music can influence language development in the human brain. However, there is seldom research on how language can influence the processing of musics. Here, research is designed to measure how the presence of language can alter the perception of music and, specifically, how lyrics (language) can affect how people perceive the emotions in the music. The scores given by the participants about how strong the emotions perceived (including positive to negative ones) in the music will be the operational definition.

This article delves into the economic implications arising from discrimination based on sexual orientation in China, a country with an estimated 70 million individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). Despite substantial advancements in social and economic spheres, China still grapples with inequality and discrimination against the LGBT community. This discrimination takes various forms, including exclusion, bullying, and harassment, and not only violates fundamental human rights but also has the potential to undermine sustainable economic growth. The article analyzes the possible economic impact of this significant LGBT demographic by examining its effects on individuals, businesses, and society as a whole. It sheds light on the adverse consequences of such discrimination on diverse groups within Chinese society and considers how this collective impact could impede China's progress in terms of economic development. By recognizing the complex relationship between inequality in rights and economic advancement, this article highlights the critical need to foster an inclusive and prosperous future that benefits all segments of Chinese society.

Many scientists who experience avoidant attachment in their studies of avoidant attachment focus on the child, and few articles go into the fact that this can lead to problems in the parent-child relationship, so the goal is the parent-child relationship, which is divided into the child's and parent's perspectives. By studying the experimental questionnaire administered by W. Steven Rholes to parents with avoidant attachment prenatally and postnatally, respectively, the results showed that they had low satisfaction with parenting and high levels of stress. It was also found through a study of the incidence of psychological disorders in offspring that the harm suffered by mothers at an early age can lead to avoidant attachment and severely affect their offspring, even to the point of developing anxiety disorders in adolescence.

In this article, the authors analyzed previous research about differences in emotion perception and expression and found out that gender and occupation are two important contributors in shaping emotion perception and expression. Previous studies suggested that females have a great ability to distinguish and avoid anger, while males show great frequency in expressing anger. At the same time, individuals who are at the top or the bottom of society are more inclined to get angry, while the middle classes are more likely to feel shame. To get a deeper insight into the impact of gender and occupation on emotions—anger, and shame, the authors designed an experiment that needs respondents to finish two sets of questionnaires—one is aimed to show anger frequency, the other one is used to show shame frequency. Results will be analyzed based on participants’ gender and occupation, which enables the authors to clarify the relationships between emotions—anger and shame—and differences in gender and occupation.
