Emotion as some kind of mental state, has been fascinating all the domains of people's life,all the time, emotion has been paid attention by researchers. As research progresses, people pay more attention on self-conscious emotion. Self-conscious emotion is a unique emotion of human, it plays a critical role in human survival and development, especially in social survival and development. Whether self-conscious emotional development is good or not relates to he individuals'social adaptation, mental health and developmental level of morality directly Pride is an important positive emotion of self-conscious emotions, a positive experience emerges when the individual's self-evaluation and the attribution of the events related of ego. Nevertheless, comparing to the researches about the basic emotions,the research of self-conscious emotion is still backward, and it relatively lacks of consistency conclusions in the aspect of theoretical studies, research methods, research conclusions. In addition, the middle school students' pride development even lack of related research, compared to basic emotions (happy), pride can affect more in their study and physical and mental development.This paper discusses the event type, attribution, influence factors of pride and their cognitive neural mechanisms problem. What is the features of the events which the middle school students are proud of? What is the difference from the happy events? What are the attribution features of their pride? How can affect the level of their pride by motivation, feedback? Is there a specific ERP ingredient in recognition of the pride of the middle school students? In order to answer questions showed above, my research contains four series of studies to explore the following conclusions:1. Used content-analysis to exam the event-type which invokes the youths'pride. The results show that: (1) achievement-type invokes the pride experience earliest. (2) interpersonal-type invokes their happy feeling earliest.2. Used the content analysis to exam the characteristics of youths'pride attribution, they suggest that it have some similarity between pride and happy attribution in adolescents .In addition, they would like to use the attribution of control,inner-control,capability and self effort.3.Used subject-between design of 2(feedback and attribution )X 2(types of self-conscious emotions)in this study.It examed the effect of feedback and attribution to adolescents'pride. Firstly, the result indicated that feedback and expectation can influence their pride, and they had mutual influence on the pride levels. All types of feedback made some effort on the pride. Furthermore, the pride decreased when the feedback transfer from positive to negative. Furthermore, the tendency of the levels declined sharply in the high- anticipation condition. (4)With the ERP experimental method to exam the cognitive brain-neural mechanism, founding that: Firstly, the N1 amplitude elicited by happy emotion was higher than that elicited by neutral and pride stimulus in the right Orbitofrontal ; the N1 amplitude elicited by pride was lower than that elicited by happy and neutral stimulus in the right frontal; the N1 latency elicited by neutral stimulus was shorter than that elicited by pride and happy stimulus. Secondary, the P2 latency elicited by pride stimulus was longer than that elicited by happy and neutral stimulus. Thirdly, there was no significant difference in the late component between three conditions (pride, happy and neutral stimulus)...
