The Role of Attachment Behaviors in the Link between Relationship Satisfaction and Depression in Clinical Couples: Implications for Clinical Practice

Using dyadic, clinical data from 104 couples in committed relationships, the purpose of this study was to determine whether relationship satisfaction was associated with depression through perceived partner attachment behaviors—accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement—for both men and women. We found that one's satisfaction in the relationship was the lens through which they viewed their partner's attachment behaviors and—women's relationship satisfaction was the lens through which her male partner viewed her attachment behaviors. Finally, women's relationship satisfaction is associated with both individuals' depression through her perceived partner's accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement. The findings from this study are important because they provide clinically relevant and mutable constructs in which clinicians can intervene at an attachment level in distressed marriages with depressed partners.     

“接近正义”视阈下我国大调解格局的制度构想

当审判程序从简单蒙昧走向复杂精密之后，诉讼制度在构建得日益文明的同时也暴露出其与生俱来的弊端，法律正义与社会正义开始越来越难兑换成司法正义，普通民众感到正义似乎愈加遥不可及。在这种情况下，通过调解制度修正诉讼制度的种种缺陷就成为一种自然而然的理性选择。而在我国，努力构建社会调解、诉前调解与审前调解三者并驾齐驱，并以调审分离为运行模式的大调解格局，以满足人民群众“接近正义”的法律诉求，是实现和谐社会的重要途径与步骤。     

Prosocial behaviour,inclusion and exclusion: why and when do we behave prosocially? / Comportamiento prosocial,inclusión y exclusión: ¿cuándo y por qué adoptamos comportamientos prosociales?

Two experiments analysed the influence of inclusion versus exclusion on prosocial behaviour. In Study 1, evidence for the social reconnection hypothesis was found. In Study 2, a cross-over interactive effect is demonstrated: excluded individuals tended to be more prosocial when their competence was affected than when their popularity was affected. However, included people were more prosocial than excluded people when their popularity was affected, but they were less prosocial when their competence was highlighted. Besides, Study 2 has shown that affiliation motivation mediates the effect of exclusion on prosocial behaviour, and thus: (1) excluded individuals endorse lower levels of affiliation motivation with their rejecters than included individuals do with individuals who have included them; and (2) individuals with higher levels of affiliation motivation engage in higher prosocial behaviour levels when the behaviour is oriented to people with whom the chance to reconnect exists, but not when it is oriented to people with whom there is no possibility for future affiliation.     

A mediational model of workplace flexibility,work–family conflict,and perceived stress among caregivers of older adults

As an increasing number of employees become caregivers, the role of workplace resources in supporting caregivers has attracted the attention of researchers, employers, and policy-makers. Workplace flexibility is one type of resource that has attracted particular interest, with research exploring whether flexibility (that is, giving employees some control over when and/or where work gets done) is related to important outcomes for both employees and employers. This investigation develops and tests a mediational model explicating the process through which workplace flexibility – operationalized in three distinct ways – impacts caregiver stress among US employees. Using a sample of 211 caregivers from the National Study of the Changing Workforce (2008), results show that work-to-family conflict mediates the relationship between perceived workplace flexibility and caregiver stress as well as the relationship between access to flexible work options and caregivers stress. However, the mediational model is not supported when flexibility is operationalized as respondents’ formal use of flexible work options. Implications for employers and future research are discussed.     

Does It Matter What Mama Says: Evaluating the Role of Parental Mediation in European Adolescents’ Excessive Internet Use

This study investigated the relationship between adolescents’ excessive Internet use (EIU) and parental mediation. A random stratified sample of 11‐ to 16‐year olds (N = 18 709) and their parents from 25 European countries (EU Kids Online II project) was analysed to explore to what extent different types of parental mediation and other factors predict EIU. Active parental involvement in the child's Internet use (when the child had experienced online harm) and restrictive mediation were associated with lower EIU. Harmful online experiences, time spent online, scope of online activities and adolescents’ age predicted higher EIU.     

刑事契约化——辩诉交易与刑事和解的互补与融合

作为一项利弊共存的制度,辩诉交易与刑事和解体现了公正与效率的矛盾与冲突,但是除去制度构造上的差异,二者本质上都是一种刑事领域的契约关系,蕴含着共同的价值基础和契约精神。以此为基础,两种制度相互融合、吸收彼此的合理成分及弥补相互的不足将成为可能,也代表着刑事契约化的发展方向。     

论美国替代性争议解决方式中的调解

调解是替代性争议解决方式的重要方式,调解在美国获得了成功并且适用范围不断扩大。其中最为重要的原因就是对调解的保密性问题做出了较好的规定,这些均对于我国调解制度的现代化具有重要的意义。     

新形势下深入完善信访调解机制的思路与对策——以第三方介入为视阈

我国正处于经济社会多重转型的特殊时期,一些深层次的矛盾和问题逐渐凸显,信访工作形势日趋严峻。如何在新形势下实现信访调解工作新突破与创新,是摆在我们面前的现实课题与紧迫任务。信访调解机制中引入第三方介入来作为调节或解决信访纠纷的思路,其主要思想来源于莱斯特·M·萨拉蒙教授的第三方治理理论(the third-party government),现实中则来源于杭州市下城区信访工作引入第三方介入的实践探索。     

大学英语教师在英语学习不成功者中实践其中介作用的调查研究

对辽东学院40名英语教师进行问卷调查的基础上,就大学英语教师对中介作用的理解及实践进行了分析,结果表明:大部分教师即使对中介作用有很好的理解,但实践过程非常艰难,效果欠佳,很难借此来培养学生的自主学习能力。此研究对本校大学英语教师的职业发展和英语教学的改进提供了参考。
