Music is one of the most common social media in people’s lives, and music with prosocial lyrics can promote an individual’s prosocial behaviors. The social information processing model points out that an individual’s behavior is affected by the selective processing of attentional information. This study used a spatial cue paradigm to compare the differences in attentional bias for prosocial cues between music with prosocial and neutral lyrics. The results show that music with prosocial lyrics can induce attentional engagement toward prosocial words, but not difficulty in attentional disengagement. This study revealed that individuals are more likely to pay attention to prosocial information after listening to music with prosocial lyrics, and that attention may play an important role in the impact of music on individuals’ behaviors.
This study used the MBI-GS and EIS to investigate the status of burnout and its relationship with the emotional intelligence of 146 special school teachers. The results showed that : (1) the burnout score of special school teachers was slightly higher than the theoretical median, and their burnout level was above the average, which was 60.27%. (2) There are significant differences in the total score of burnout and the emotional intelligence level of each dimension. The higher the emotional intelligence level is the less likely to show burnout related symptoms. (3) The dimensions of emotional intelligence, such as emotion perception, regulating the emotions of others, and emotion application, are negatively correlated with the dimensions of burnout. (4) Regression analysis showed that emotion perception could negatively predict emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment, whereas regulating the emotions of others could negatively predict low personal accomplishment. Emotional intelligence of special school teachers can be used as one of the predictors of burnout. Emotional intelligence training can effectively alleviate burnout of special school teachers.
In order to explore whether the empathy ability of Chinese special education school teachers has an impact on their burnout, this study investigated 156 special education school teachers using the Empathy Competence Scale and the Burnout Scale. The results are as follows : (1)The scores of various dimensions of burnout of teachers in special education schools are all lower than the theoretical median, and the overall level of job burnout of this group is low. (2)Except imagination was not correlated with emotional exhaustion, other dimensions of empathy ability were significantly correlated with all dimensions of burnout (all p <0.05). (3)Regression analysis found that perspective taking could negatively predict emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment (all p <0.05). Empathy concern could negatively predict low personal achievement (p <0.05). Personal distress positively predicted emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment (all p <0.001). Imagination could negatively predict emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (all p <0.05).
