我哋心理學系林立教授及其研究團隊為期一年嘅追蹤研究發現,父母以「心理控制」方式管教子女,會削弱青少年情緒調節能力,增加抑鬱症狀並提高自殘風險,當中女童受影響尤為明顯。研究指出,預防青少年自殘除需處理個人情緒問題外,亦須改善親子互動方式,減少以心理控制迫使子女服從嘅做法。該研究已刊登於國際學術期刊,感興趣嘅同學可以喺Bio上搵到林教授研究原文。

Prof. Jocelyn Lin from our department and her team’s research reveals that when parents use psychological control — such as guilt induction or love withdrawal (a form of emotional blackmail) — it can seriously impair adolescents’ ability to regulate their emotions. This, in turn, worsens depressive symptoms and increases the risk of self-harm, especially among girls. The researchers emphasize that preventing adolescent self-harm requires addressing not only individual emotional struggles but also improving family dynamics.

The study has been published in the international journal Child Psychiatry & Human Development. Link in bio for those interested in the full findings.

“Things could’ve been worse — at least I’m still okay now!😤” Have you ever said this to yourself🤓? When we feel disappointed, regretful, or upset😞, our minds sometimes naturally think, “Luckily, it didn’t turn out worse😮‍💨.” In psychology, this way of thinking is called “downward counterfactual thinking.” Want to know more? Then keep reading😆!

Prof. XU Jie and Prof. LIN Li from the Department of Psychology, Lingnan University, attended the 3rd Joint Symposium between Sungkyunkwan University and Lingnan University in Seoul, South Korea on 7 May 2026. The Psychology Departments of Sungkyunkwan University and Lingnan University are long-standing partners and have jointly organised numerous academic events over the years. The symposium was chaired by Prof. Kim Minue from the Department of Psychology, Sungkyunkwan University, with MPhil and PhD students from the university in attendance.

Prof. LIN Li first presented three studies on motivational types of happiness. The research explored how hedonic, eudaimonic, and extrinsic motivations affect children’s well-being, adolescents’ academic distress, and parents’ parenting behaviours.

Prof. XU Jie shared seven experimental studies examining the moral influence of AI on humans. The findings revealed that people are more inclined to adopt advice from real human beings than from AI. The research indicates that AI has limited persuasive power in social decisions.

Towards the end of the session, Prof. Park Hyung In from Sungkyunkwan University presented three studies on the characteristics of off-job recovery activities. Her presentation outlined the characteristics of off-job recovery among different groups and analysed how such recovery activities can enhance employees’ well-being and promote organisational citizenship behaviour.
We look forward to more academic exchanges and collaboration between the two universities in the future.

2026 年 5 月 7 日,嶺南大學心理學系徐杰教授和林立教授於韓國首爾出席了第三屆成均館大學與嶺南大學聯合研討會。成均館大學心理學系是嶺大心理學系的長期合作夥伴,兩系已合作開展了多次學術活動。此次會議由成均館大學心理學系 KIM Minue 教授主持。數十名成均館大學心理學系碩士和博士生參與。

林立教授首先分享了三個關於快樂動機的研究。這些研究探討了愉悅型、意義型、和外部型快樂動機對學齡兒童的幸福感、中學生的學業困擾,及父母的教養行為有何影響。

徐杰教授分享了 7 個實驗研究,分析 AI 對人的道德影響。這一系列的研究發現,相較於 AI 給予的利他建議,人們更傾向於採納真實人類的利他建議。研究說明 AI 在勸說人們做出利他決定的能力有限。

最後,成均館大學的 PARK Hyung In 教授分享了三項關於下班後恢復活動特徵的研究。這些研究梳理了不同人群下班後恢復活動的特徵,並分析了下班後恢復活動的特徵如何促進僱員身心健康,以及提升組織公民行為。

我們希冀兩系在今後開展更多學術交流,優勢互補,互利共贏。
