The current study aimed to examine the relationship between romantic relationships and three important factors: attachment, self-esteem and personality. These studies briefly described previous research on attachment, self-esteem and personality and their effects on romantic relationships, and discussed their malleability and application of the intervention. People with insecure attachment, low self-esteem and personality vulnerability have less satisfaction within their romantic relationships. High-quality relationships have a positive impact on the enhancement of those factors. Besides, those factors are malleable in response to social experiences and specific interventions. Attachment styles can shift after completing the process of EFT. CBT treatments are an effective approach to enhancing self-esteem and personality. These findings provide evidence that people could change their attachment, self-esteem and personality, which implies that it is possible that individuals could improve their romantic relationships by changing their attachment, self-esteem and personality.

Loneliness has become a common problem among adolescents and young adults, especially in COVID-19. Among various factors leading to increases of loneliness, one possible factor is the meaning of life. This study examines the prevalence of loneliness at both implicit and explicit levels, as well as the correlation between loneliness and the meaning of life. We conducted a sample survey of 36 Chinese international students on the Internet, and investigated their implicit and explicit loneliness and life significance. We found that young adults felt lonely at both implicit and explicit levels, and the meaning of life was negatively correlated with explicit loneliness, but not with implicit loneliness.This finding provides evidence that logotherapy and other meaning-related interventions may be effective interventions to reduce adolescent loneliness.

With the rise of postmodernism in the Western world, the development of feminism has gradually revealed the characteristics of postmodernism. Among them, feminine body writing is a good example. However, the academia does not pay much attention to body writing in photography art, which gives some research space for this paper. Therefore, this paper studies Cindy Sherman’s “Untitled Film Stills” and uses the theory of feminine body writing which is proposed by Hélène Cixous in “The Laugh of the Medusa” to explore what Sherman wants to suggest about feminism in “Untitled Film Stills”. The study has shown that, Cindy Sherman combines feminine body writing with photography, and uses self-direction and selfie to display women trapped in the male gaze, which show her awakening feminine consciousness and her satire on patriarchy. Sherman’s photographic works play an essential part in the development of feminism.

Separation anxiety is one of the most common canine-related disorders in dogs (Canis Familiaris) and charactered by the presentation of unacceptable levels of anxiety related behaviors in the absence of the human companion. While pharmaceutical treatment with antidepressant drugs shows some evidence for effectiveness, the impact is limited, and negative side effects are reported. In contrast, behavioral modification is proposed as an effective and safe method to address separation anxiety, but clinical research is lacking. This work reports the application of associative theory to animal behavioral treatment that considers the role of three senses for a treatment plan; vision, audition, and olfaction and has accumulated 129 successful cases in ten years.

Numerous pupils have either been bullied or are being bullied in school, which is a problem on a global scale. The United Nations and academics in the fields of education and psychology are very concerned about this problem. Many studies have been conducted over many years, which have provided some convincing definitions, classifications, and features of school bullying, and these studies primarily focus on the analysis of influencing factors and countermeasures of school bullying. This paper will review the relevant studies, describe the fundamental situation and key features, and draw conclusions about the influencing factors and countermeasures of school bullying from the perspectives of the individual, the school, the family, and the society. Despite significant progress, there are still some flaws in the existing studies that cannot be overlooked and require correction, so the paper will also offer some recommendations for future research on school bullying.

This review article attempts to find the relationship between psychopathy and ASPD and their symptoms, causes, continuity of development from childhood to adulthood, and treatments. The available study findings have not comprehensively covered the subject, especially how the behaviours in ASPD and psychopathy relate to violence and crime. Psychopathy has a close relationship with ASPD. People suffering from ASPD cannot easily co-exist with others due to amoral behaviour. On the other, Psychopathy differs from Psychosis in various ways because the former is a trait while the latter is a condition. The research also indicates that not all ASPD patients can test positive for psychopathy. In addition, criminals should not necessarily have psychopathic personality traits. The available studies have addressed psychopaths in adolescents and adulthood. The studies provided empirical evidence as researchers have conducted investigations using different samples and sampling techniques. For example, a study in 1999 involved 463 children alongside their parents. They observed the results when trying to link alcoholism to psychopathy.
