    with Linda Coleman, Kaveh Khoshnood, Jessica Hahne, Yang Li, Min Yang, Ying Wu, and Xing Liu
    BMC Medical Ethics 22 (1): 1-9. 2021.
    BackgroundUsing an effective method for evaluating Institutional Review Board (IRB) performance is essential for ensuring an IRB’s effectiveness, efficiency, and compliance with applicable human research standards and organizational policies. Currently, no empirical research has yet been published in China evaluating IRB performance measures by the use of a standardized tool. This study was therefore conducted to develop a Chinese version of the IRB Researcher Assessment Tool (IRB-RAT), assess t…Read more

    This longitudinal case study identifies corporate governance responses in a Chinese state-owned enterprise facing institutional logic multiplicity and demands to shoulder sociopolitical responsibilities beyond economic responsibility. We find that overseas listing led to the incorporation of market logic into an enterprise in which party-state logic prevailed. The prioritization of sociopolitical responsibilities vis-à-vis economic responsibility has shifted through three phases, reflecting chan…Read more

    The Relationship Between Fear of COVID-19 and Online Aggressive Behavior: A Moderated Mediation Model
    with Baojuan Ye, Yadi Zeng, Hohjin Im, Mingfan Liu, and Qiang Yang
    Frontiers in Psychology 12. 2021.
    Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, fear has run rampant across the globe. To curb the spread of the virus, several governments have taken measures to drastically transition businesses, work, and schooling to virtual settings. While such transitions are warranted and well-intended, these measures may come with unforeseen consequences. Namely, one’s fear of COVID-19 may more readily manifest as aggressive behaviors in an otherwise incognito virtual social ecology. In the current research, a moderated med…Read more

    The One-Child Policy dramatically changed the Chinese family structure, and the literature indicates that only children may have an advantage in terms of family resource dilution. Moreover, as Chinese families traditionally prioritize investing in sons, only daughters are found to have been empowered by the policy because they did not need to compete with their brothers for parental investment. However, the literature is limited to only teenage children when they were still living in their paren…Read more

    Nonverbal Behaviors “Speak” Relational Messages of Dominance, Trust, and Composure
    with Judee K. Burgoon, Xunyu Chen, Steven J. Pentland, and Norah E. Dunbar
    Frontiers in Psychology 12. 2021.
    Nonverbal signals color the meanings of interpersonal relationships. Humans rely on facial, head, postural, and vocal signals to express relational messages along continua. Three of relevance are dominance-submission, composure-nervousness and trust-distrust. Machine learning and new automated analysis tools are making possible a deeper understanding of the dynamics of relational communication. These are explored in the context of group interactions during a game entailing deception. The “messin…Read more

    A Positive Role of Negative Mood on Creativity: The Opportunity in the Crisis of the COVID-19 Epidemic
    with Ying Du, Yilong Yang, Cong Xie, Chunyu Liu, Weiping Hu, and Yadan Li
    Frontiers in Psychology 11. 2021.
    The COVID-19 epidemic is associated with negative mood, which has the potential to be a powerful driver of creativity. However, the influence of negative mood on cognitive creativity and emotional creativity remains elusive. Previous research has indicated that self-focused attention is likely to be related to both negative mood and creativity. The current study introduced two self-focused attention variables to explore how negative mood might contribute to cognitive creativity and emotional cre…Read more

    with Hashini Wanniarachchi, Yan Lang, Tyrell Pruitt, Sridhar Nerur, Kay-Yut Chen, and Hanli Liu
    Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 14. 2021.
    While many publications have reported brain hemodynamic responses to decision-making under various conditions of risk, no inventory management scenarios, such as the newsvendor problem, have been investigated in conjunction with neuroimaging. In this study, we hypothesized that NP stimulates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the orbitofrontal cortex joined with frontal polar area significantly in the human brain, and that local brain network properties are increased when a person transits f…Read more
