Chinanews, Beijing October 17 - A joint research conducted by Zhang Jianxin, a researcher of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and several scientists from the Chinese University of Hong Kong finds that Chinese people have become more practical, responsible and emotional than 10 year ago.Traditionally Chinese are said to be conservative, firm, filial and a little bit cynical. However, under the impact of modernization, their image has greatly changed while they are seeking a balance between tradition and modern lifestyle.With the pace of life becomes faster, Chinese people tend to be more “aggressive”, which also makes them appreciate responsibility better. Besides, they are better at expressing themselves, and they have become more emotional, too.Compared with the result of a similar research conducted in 1992, the Chinese at the present time are more practical. Apparently, one has to be practical to survive the fast-changing society today.On the other hand, more Chinese dare to become leaders than before, as quite a large proportion of them have started businesses of their own.Now most Chinese appreciate the current harmonious environment, and they will still pay more attention to building their interpersonal relations, instead of developing personalities of individuals
