Psychosomatic medicine in China has been forged from scratch for decades. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment mode for psychosomatic disorder has 7 types, namely, the psychosomatic medicine department establishment, medical union, multi-disciplinary team, discussion of difficult cases, psychosomatic network consultation, introduction of psychosomatic disorders specialists to joint ward rounds, and Sunshine Hospital. In the future, professionals in psychosomatic medicine should take the establishment of psychosomatic medicine with Chinese characteristics as their own responsibility and make efforts in the integration of treatment mode, improvement of software construction, protection of ward environment, promotion of the stage mode of residential treatment and explicit personnel composition, training, and practicing scope.

Psychosomatic medicine is a branch in medicine and the science of studying the associations between psychological factors, human health, and diseases. The thought of psychosomatic medicine in Chinese medicine contains a rich content. This article, integrated with The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, probes into the knowledge and research on psychosomatic-related problems so as to bring in a new angle to facilitating clinical workers to better understand the etiology and preventative principles of diseases, promoting the formation of a psychosomatic medicine system with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the potential personality classes of college students and to compare the demographic characteristics and internalizing and externalizing problems of students with different personality types.
Methods: A total of 11 636 college students were enrolled to complete the Five-Factor Inventory and College Students Mental Health Screening Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to classify the personality characteristics of college students.
Results: (1) There were 4 personality types in college students: positive (9.2%), ordinary (45.8%), tension (37.5%), and withdrawal (7.5%). (2) There were differences in the distribution of demographic characteristics among college students with different personality types. (3) Individuals of the withdrawal type had the severest internalizing and externalizing problems followed by the tension type, and the positive type experienced the smallest number of internalizing and externalizing problems.
Conclusions: Colleges should put emphasis on the positive development of personality of students who had tension or withdrawal personality and enhance their mental health.

Objective: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Trait and State General Food Cravings Questionnaires (G-FCQ-T and G-FCQ-S) in college students.
Methods: Between 2017 and 2021, 1 408 college students were recruited online and offline to fill out questionnaires. Using Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire as the criterion, the factor structure was investigated through the G-FCQ-T and G-FCQ-S by exploratory factor analyses, and the confirmative factor analysis was used to confirm. There were 160 of them that did the retest 4 weeks later. Another 87 college students were observed for the changes of rating in G-FCQ-S under food deprivation and satiation conditions.
Results: The Chinese version of the G-FCQ-T had 19 items and a four-factor structure. The 4 factors had high correlations with the total score (r=0.752~0.882). The internal consistency coefficient of G-FCQ-T was 0.939, with better internal consistency of each factor (α=0.842~0.911). The test-retest reliability of the whole questionnaire was 0.736 and all dimensions had good test-retest reliability (r=0.587~0.756). The questionnaire structure showed good fit (χ²/df=5.556, TLI=0.875, CFI=0.894, RMSEA=0.098). The Chinese version of the G-FCQ-S had 15 items and a five-factor structure. The 5 factors had high correlations with the total score (r=0.699~0.786). The internal consistency coefficient of G-FCQ-S was 0.892, with better internal consistency of each factor (α=0.814~0.909). The test-retest reliability of the whole questionnaire was 0.451 and all dimensions had good test-retest reliability (r=0.144~0.589). The questionnaire structure showed good fit (χ²/df=1.952, TLI=0.943, CFI=0.957, RMSEA=0.065). To further test the criterion validity of G-FCQ-S, the total score and dimension score of G-FCQ-S before eating were significantly higher than those after eating (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: The Chinese version the G-FCQ-T and G-FCQ-S have good reliability and validity in college students.

Objective: Based on the goal content theory of the self-determination theory, this study aimed to explore the relationship between neuroticism, extraversion, and subjective well-being and their mediating role.
Methods: This study surveyed 540 college students by using the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory brief version to measure neuroticism and extraversion, the Chinese version of the thirty-five item Aspiration Index to assess relative intrinsic orientation and possibility of realization, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale to assess subjective well-being.
Results: (1) There was a significant correlation between neuroticism, extraversion, relative intrinsic orientation, possibility of realization, and subjective well-being; (2) relative intrinsic orientation and possibility of realization had a partial mediating effect, that was acting as a parallel multiple mediator, between neuroticism and subjective well-being, and between extraversion and subjective well-being.
Conclusions: Neuroticism and extraversion can not only directly affect subjective well-being, but they can also indirectly affect subjective well-being through goal internality and achievement goal possibility.

Social cognition is defined as the ability to recognize, manipulate and behave with respect to socially relevant information. Social cognition plays a pivotal role in the establishment of good interpersonal relationship and the maintenance of health. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provide support for researchers to explore the association between social cognitive behaviors and corresponding brain regions. This paper reviews the application and research status of tDCS and TMS in the field of social cognition from the aspects of social emotion regulation, social norm compliance, self-other representation, and so forth. We suggest that future research should improve positioning precision and depth of non-invasive brain stimulation, and combine it with neuroimaging technology to explore the neural mechanism of social cognition and its clinical intervention.
