Research Work field:  

Ø Self-control is the important motivation clue in the trick recognition. However, self-control plays the motivation clue role the in the deceit recognition and plays the supervision mechanism role in implementing deceits, the cognition mechanism and the neural basis remains unclear yet. The influences of the self-control ability and self-control resources on the deceits are different, but the neural basis of the impacts hasn't been solved yet. We have been working on these mysteries and finding some good ways to solve these problems. Our research interests are mainly related with, (i) The degree of self-reference effect, for example, negative emotion weakens the degree of self-reference effect, electrophysiological correlation of the degree of self-reference effect, The degree of self-reference effect of extroversion individuals, the degree of self-reference effect of introverted individuals; (ii) The influence of self-control on deception and self-deception.
