The September issue of PsyCh Journal features five regular contributions, beginning with an experimental pilot study on the utility of the Chinese Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory‐2 (MMPI‐2) in detecting feigned mental disorders. Next is a survey conducted in China with participants aged 9‐84 years to investigate the moderating effect of age on the relationship between future time perspective and future‐oriented coping. This is followed by a survey of employees in a Chinese enterprise to explore mechanisms underlying the association between work‐family balance and job satisfaction, and proposing an integrative moderated mediation model as explanation. A corrected version is then presented of a longitudinal study in Germany investigating the growth of self‐regulation in grade school children and the influence of factors such as family environment. A final contribution reports an investigation conducted among middle‐aged and older Chinese adults to examine how the quantity and quality of individuals' social networks are associated with mental health. The issue next presents a Special Report, examining the prospects and possibilities for unifying the psychology of time through refinements of our notions of identity, homeostasis, navigation, and conscious awareness. Two Short Communications then round out the issue, the first presenting a suggestion that three types of dark personality profiles can be discerned through a subtractive clustering method with data for a large population, and the second reporting an fMRI study exploring the neural correlates of human‐vehicle embodiment when operational anticipations are violated.
