Consumer Selection of Food-Safety Information Sources

The aim of this study is to examine the preferences of consumers for different information sources when they have a question about food safety. On the basis of a nationally representative survey conducted in the Netherlands, five distinct consumer groups are identified that not only differ on the reported use of information sources but also regarding several personality characteristics and sociodemographic variables. The empirical results show that two-thirds of the consumers are selective in their use of information sources and prefer either institutional or social sources. So, multiple information-acquisition patterns exist among the general public. The study illustrates how these findings can help to develop effective risk communication strategies.     

Physical exercise,employee fitness and the management of health at work

Abstract

This paper presents some recent data on why organizations invest in exercise and physical fitness programmes for their stiff. These data suggest that, owing to a lack of evaluation studies, organizations act mainly on the basis of assumption and belief. However, from a subsequent review of the available literature on the personal and organizational effects of such programmes, it appears that these assumptions and beliefs are not altogether unfounded. The paper concludes by discussing the ways in which exercise and employee fitness programmes might help die individual and their organization in terms of the management of health at work.     

Nonshared Environment Research

SUMMARY

This review focuses on conceptualizations of nonshared environment and on four areas of research that should be targeted for future growth. It is argued that there are at least two different approaches to the study of nonshared environment. “Experience-oriented” researchers center on sibling differential experiences in the family and their role in children's development. “Outcome-oriented” investigators focus on the search for environmental origins of individual differences in outcomes. Turkheimer and Waldron's (2000) concept of objective versus effective nonshared environment and Reiss and colleagues' (2000) notion of single-system versus multi-system nonshared environment processes are also discussed. Four topics for future research are outlined: (1) age-related changes and development; (2) the role of the self; (3) the role of context; and (4) the importance of extrafamilial experiences. More work in these areas will lead to useful theories of how nonshared environment processes are linked to sibling and individual differences in behavioral development and adjustment.

五四新文化运动与欧洲文艺复兴运动比较

五四新文化运动与欧洲文艺复兴运动生成于不同时期，植根于不同土壤，二者既有一些共同之处，又有不少差异。对其进行比较，有助于加深我们对两个运动各自特性的认识。其共同点是：（一）对传统的批判与重建；（二）倡导文学革命；（三）抨击封建权威思想；（四）呼唤人性的复苏，倡导个人的解放。其不同点是：（一）背景不同；（二）影响力不同；（三）带来的后果不同。     

具体人性——人权与宽容的新维度

简要列出宽容概念的种类,并概述人权与实际(或具体)人性之间的关联以及实质性的相互关系,基于针对人权的进一步区别、历史修正以及人权阐释的发展的评论,勾勒出人权从保护性人权向供人分享和有积极创造性的人权的发展历程,并提出与标准的法定人权相比,供人分享和有积极创造性的人权是对伦理上的真正尊严的主张,是一种道德人的准权利。因此,用“具体人性”和对具体人性的实际描述真正代替仅仅沉湎于人性和人道的相当抽象的观念,这在所有的人权教育中都是最重要的。
