This study investigated the ways in which motivations and goals affect patterns of political information‐seeking and the consequent structure of memory about candidates. Undergraduate participants used a computerized system that displayed different layers of information about fictional political candidates; the system recorded the strategies they used to search through this information. Results showed that motivations to engage in effortful processing produced tendencies to engage in within‐candidate searches, better recall, and memory structures clustered by candidate. The goal of forming impressions of the candidates, which was expected to lead to within‐candidate searching, was in fact modestly associated with weaker tendencies to do so, once effort was taken into account. Impression‐formation goals, however, were associated with less attribute‐based memory structures. The findings confirm that the manner in which people acquire candidate information has important consequences for the way they store that information in memory, and that these processes vary according to individual motivations and goals.

Since 2013, The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a pressing concern for the international community. The BRI is an international cooperation initiative put forward by China in response to major changes and new challenges unique to the present. There have been multiple voices doubting, misunderstanding, and criticizing the initiative from home and abroad. In response to this, Professor Wang Yiwei, who comes from the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies and National Academy of Development and Strategy at the Renmin University of China, has systematically responded to various questions from the Chinese people, Western countries, and countries along the BRI in his book, Response: Ten Voices on the "Belt and Road Initiative" (2020). The book examines what the initiative is, its purpose, and how to promote it.

This paper studies the European countries in an economic and political analysis context. Moreover, as a win-win institution, Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an excellent opportunity for China and European countries. Therefore, the paper will specifically analyze what factors could affect the EU's unemployment rate, government effectiveness index, and BRI effects on European countries. China is the EU's second-largest trading partner. At the same time, the EU has been China's top trading associate for a decade. China and the EU signed the "Deepen the China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Cooperation" in 2014, which means that China and the EU are willing to cooperate closely. Notably, BRI could be an occasion to research. Therefore, this paper includes two main parts, which are the economic and the political aspects. The report will use economic growth as a dependent variable to analyze what factors could affect European countries' unemployment rate under the economic aspect. The data will include all European countries and the year from 2007 to 2019. Consequently, the paper will use the government efficiency index as a dependent variable for the political scope.
