Vocational Experiences and Quality of Life of Migrants: Overview and Future Research

Quality of life is a complicated concept that has attracted broad attention from multiple disciplines. This article introduces a set of studies that employ diverse approaches to explore how work, vocational, and career experiences shape quality of life among migrants, and proposes a future agenda to extend this stream of research. Specifically, operationalizing quality of life in different ways, research showcased in this special issue has demonstrated how international and intranational migrants achieve, maintain, and enhance their well-being in different life domains. Reflecting on the literature and the showcased studies, this article proposes that future research should advance the current inquiry by better categorizing vocational experiences, uniquely operationalizing of quality of life in migration contexts, taking a more culturally sensitive perspective, and broadening methodological approaches.     

教育与娱情:中外戏剧价值论永恒的内部角力——以曹禺剧作批评史为中心

“戏剧何为”是曹禺剧作的批评者共同关注的焦点问题之一.耐人寻味的是,在不同历史阶段,研究者们于曹剧的思想价值与艺术价值之间总是有意无意地突出一方而非等而视之——要么肯定一方而否定另一方,要么将一方视为另一方的附属产品.这一现象首先与曹禺在个人创作倾向和时代、社会要求的冲突中所生发的价值犹疑有关——作者在“教育”和“娱情”两大功能之间的摇摆直接导致了其剧作价值倾向的模糊.更进一步说,由于戏剧自身的艺术特性及其不同于其他文类的受众特征,“教育”和“娱情”之间的角力始终潜隐于古今中外戏剧价值论内部,曹剧中两大功能之间的“暗斗”恰是其具体表现之一.     

“沧浪之水”今何在?——文化生态系统视域下的文化生成、传播与实证研究

文化生态系统是特定文化生成、发展和传播的基础.文化内在的“生成性”特征决定了文化生成、发展和传播的基本规律.文化是特定“时间-历史”情境中的主体不断建构的结果,建构形成的“文化”又在新的“时间-历史”情境中得到继承、诠释和传播.纵观以“沧浪之水”为载体、以“有道则出、无道则隐”为核心的“沧浪文化”生成、发展和传播全过程, “沧浪文化”从文化的原始生长点出发,早期为扩展扩散,后期为迁移扩散;经由地理表征“升华”到经典文化中,又从经典文化“落实”到地理表征上的双向互动的生成和反身建构过程.就现实意义而言,不同地域的同类文化之间并非互相排斥而是互相联系、互相支持的关系,绝大多数地理性的“文化正宗”之争可以就此打住.     

Exploration and Firm Performance: The Moderating Impact of Competitive Strategy

In this study we examine the moderating effect of competitive strategy (including differentiation and cost‐leadership strategies) on the relationship between exploration and firm performance. We find that the moderating effect of differentiation strategy is positive while that of cost‐leadership strategy is negative. And, these moderating effects are stronger in a highly competitive context. This study offers an explanation for previous mixed findings on the linkage of exploration to firm performance and enriches the discipline's knowledge regarding the performance implications of exploration. Moreover, we respond directly to the appeal in research on competitive strategy to clarify the role played by competitive strategy in profiting from exploration.

网游青少年:网络负面形象的建构与实证

网络游戏已经成为青少年的一种普遍娱乐方式,而网络新闻在公众对网游青少年玩家的认识过程中起着重要作用,它们经常从不同角度来报道并放大具有典型意义的网游青少年玩家个案,以此建构网游青少年玩家的形象并引导人们对该群体的印象存储。通过对11年来人民网与新浪网中相关报道的内容分析,发现网络新闻对网游青少年玩家媒介形象构建时出现偏差,形成对网游青少年玩家污名化形象建构的影响。     

Predictors of Treatment Outcome Among Asian Pathological Gamblers (PGs): Clinical,Behavioural, Demographic,and Treatment Process Factors

Research on predictors of treatment outcome among pathological gamblers (PGs) is inconclusive and dominated by studies from Western countries. Using a prospective longitudinal design, the current study examined demographic, clinical, behavioural and treatment programme predictors of gambling frequency at 3, 6 and 12-months, among PGs treated at an addiction clinic in Singapore. Measures included the Hospital anxiety and depression scale, gambling symptom assessment scale (GSAS), personal well-being index (PWI), treatment perception questionnaire and gambling readiness to change scale. Treatment response in relation to changes in symptom severity, personal wellbeing and abstinence were also assessed. Abstinence rates were 38.6, 46.0 and 44.4 % at 3, 6 and 12-months respectively. Significant reductions in gambling frequency, GSAS, and improvement in PWI were reported between baseline and subsequent outcome assessments, with the greatest change occurring in the initial three months. No demographic, clinical, behavioural or treatment programme variable consistently predicted outcome at all three assessments, though treatment satisfaction was the most frequent significant predictor. However, being unemployed, having larger than average debts, poor treatment satisfaction and attending fewer sessions at the later stages of treatment were associated with significantly poorer outcomes, up to 1-year after initiating treatment. These findings show promise for the effectiveness of a CBT-based treatment approach for the treatment of predominantly Chinese PGs. Clinical implications and suggestions for future research are discussed. Taken together, the findings suggest early treatment satisfaction is paramount in improving short-term outcomes, with baseline gambling behaviour and treatment intensity playing a more significant role in the longer term.     

建筑符号学与城市文化遗产的诠释——以重庆城市历史遗产展示为例

城市历史遗产作为城市特定时代历史与精神文化的载体,在对其进行展示与诠释的过程中必然面临与人的互动关系。本文从符号学的角度探索对作为城市符号实体的历史遗产的诠释过程与解读过程的差异,在认知主体对城市历史遗产符号的"再创造"的理解能力的基础上,将符号学的"共识性"与"模糊性"引入城市历史遗产展示与诠释的研究中。并以重庆渝中区城市历史遗产展示研究为例,探索该理念在城市历史遗产诠释研究中的可行性。     

清末哈密“改土归流”研究

光绪三十三年,哈密通判陈天禄在清末边疆危机形势之下,利用哈密地区民众开展了"改土归流"运动,它反映了清末边疆民族地区的政治、经济矛盾和政治一体化的历史趋势。虽囿于诸多因素,此次运动最终失败,但是其对哈密地区影响深远。     

行为责任价值存在样式的几种演变

行为责任存在的演变经历了道德律、伦理性以及社会性等几种样式。道德律排斥了行为责任实践性的一面,将价值的产生归结于道德律,这意味着行为主体在实践过程中失去了主动性、自为性,行为责任价值的应然性取决于对道德律的服从。社会存在形式的去魅化,价值标准从终极型存在形式转化为实践中伦理应然性的存在。伦理的价值应然性要求行为主体将行为责任价值产生划归己有,重新回归行为主体实践价值之中,并通过主体自为性与行为主体之间理性价值关系得以确立。现代社会的价值要求,标准行为责任价值存在的真正实现必然要通过行为主体将行为责任的应然性委托于社会,并最终以社会价值的形式加以表达,应然价值的行为责任存在形式得以超越,实现自我价值存在的延伸即行为责任社会价值的真正实现。
