Substitution and Stratification: The Interplay between Dyadic and Systemic Proximity in Global Trade, 1993–2005

This article examines the interplay of homophily (similarity breeds connection) at two levels in international trade—dyadic similarity (geographic, political, and cultural proximity) and systemic similarity (structural equivalence and world‐system status). First, there is a substitution effect between dyadic homophily and systemic homophily from structural equivalence. Both types of homophily generate favorable social structure that facilitates international trade. The existence of structural equivalence lessens the dependence of bilateral trade on dyadic homophily. Second, there is a stratification effect of world‐system status on dyadic homophily. Geographic homophily matters the most for bilateral trade between two noncore countries, while political and cultural homophily is the most influential for trade between a core country and a noncore country. These two findings have important implications. The substitution effect of structural equivalence prevents international trade from complete fragmentation along geographic, political, and cultural lines, while the stratification effect of world‐system status reveals unequal capacity across countries to overcome the structural constraints imposed by dyadic homophily.

Minority comparison model: Effects of Whites’ multiracial evaluation on symbolic racism and racialized policy preferences

Most Racial Studies primarily focus on African Americans without paying attention to nonblack minorities, and it fails to capture recent increase in racial diversity. Based on previous theories and empirical findings, we propose a new model, minority comparison model, which accounts for theoretical shortcomings in Racial Studies. This model (1) captures psychological processes that compare blacks and nonblacks, and (2) explores the effects of whites’ multiracial evaluation on racialized policy preferences. Drawing on a 2008 national representative sample, this study finds that whites who have positive stereotype of nonblacks (e.g., Hispanics and/or Asians) but negative stereotype of blacks show substantially higher symbolic racism and stronger opposition to Affirmative Action, whereas whites who have positive stereotype of blacks but negative stereotypes of nonblacks have stronger opposition to expansive immigration policy. Our study offers new ways of understanding and accounting for symbolic racism in modern context, and shows how whites’ preferences in racialized policies are influenced by multiracial evaluation.

《镜花缘》中李汝珍尚才主智的价值观

《镜花缘》是李汝珍在清乾嘉时期写下的作品。书中才女形象群的庞大是前代小说中所罕见的,亦由此集中而明确地反映了作者尚才主智的价值观念。这种价值观与当时的汉学学风和李汝珍师友的汉学思想影响以及因其自身的仕途坎坷经历而产生的理想自寓密切相关。     

The Relationship Between Sexual Minority Verbal Harassment and Utilization of Health Services: Results from Countywide Risk Assessment Survey (CRAS) 2004

In this article we examine the prevalence of and associations between sexual orientation–based verbal harassment and reported utilization of health services across levels of sexual orientation in a diverse sample of adult recipients of Los Angeles County–funded HIV-related health and social services. Thirty-two percent reported they had experienced verbal harassment, the majority (80.3%) of whom identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB). Those who reported being verbally harassed received significantly more services overall than those who were not verbally harassed, and service utilization varied by sexual orientation. These findings inform future efforts to identify and assess social discrimination in health and social service settings.     

论死亡赔偿金的制度价值

2009年12月26日通过的《侵权责任法》明确规定在同一事故中可不考虑个人差异,以同一数额确定死亡赔偿金。该条同命同价条款引起社会各界的广泛关注。死亡赔偿并不是对死者生命价值的赔偿,而是对死者近亲属受损利益的救济。死亡赔偿从扶养丧失说改采继承丧失说,赔偿标准采定型化赔偿和客观计算,体现了立法没有为了逻辑自治而漠视社会现实,但对城乡居民采用了两分法的计算标准,显然违背了死亡赔偿金设立的初衷。今后死亡赔偿金制度的完善必然取决于对有关利弊的实证分析而非抽象的逻辑推理。     

教育对犯罪率的影响研究

在理论上,教育同时具有犯罪预防效应和犯罪扩张效应,因此,教育对犯罪率的净影响是不确定的,同时,不同层次的教育对犯罪率的影响也并非是单调的。文章以中国2000～2008年的地区数据为样本,研究发现,总体的教育扩张显著降低了中国的犯罪率,这主要受益于小学、初中和高中教育,且其犯罪预防效应随着教育层次的提高而递增;但大学教育不仅未能降低中国的犯罪率,反而还显著促增了诈骗一类的高技能型犯罪。     

易心莹与《道教三字经》

从易心莹的求学经历看,儒学构成了其知识结构非常重要的一部分,故他才会采用<三字经>的形式来宣传道教知识.可以说,<道教三字经>是易心莹援儒人道的具体表现,易心莹虽身为道士,但其内心"笃守儒师与道家学理"却是一个不能忽略的事实.
