Stereotype and National Attachment in Hong Kong Chinese Context: A Moderated Mediation Model of Perceived Inter-group Relationship and Age

The present study investigated the relationship between Hong Kong people’s stereotype toward Mainland people and their own national attachment (i.e., national identity, constructive patriotism, and uncritical patriotism). The role of inter-group relationship as mediator and age as moderator of that relationship were also tested. A total of 1753 local Hong Kong people aged 17–80 (mean age = 20.35 years, SD = 5.02) completed anonymous questionnaires regarding their stereotypes toward Mainland people, inter-group relationship with Mainland people, and national attachment. As expected, stereotypes toward Mainland people, inter-group relationship and national attachment showed significant positive associations with each other. More interestingly, it was found that the inter-group relationship mediated the relationship between stereotypes toward Mainland people and three domains of national attachment, with this indirect link being weaker for younger Hong Kong adults than for older Hong Kong adults. Implications of the present findings for future research are discussed, as well as potential interventions for increasing subjective national attachment to China, especially in young Hong Kong people.     

Self-reported mobility and instrumental activities of daily living: test-retest reliability and criterion validity

To determine the test-retest reliability and criterion validity of self-reported function in mobility and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in older adults, a convenience sample of 70 subjects (72.9 ± 6.6 yr, 34 male) was split into able and disabled groups based on baseline assessment and into consistently able, consistently disabled, and inconsistent based on repeat assessments over 2 weeks. The criterion validities of the self-reported measures of mobility domain and IADL-physical subdomain were assessed with concurrent baseline measures of 4 mobility performances, and that of the self-reported measure of IADL-cognitive subdomain, with the Mini-Mental State Examination. Test-retest reliability was moderate for the mobility, IADL-physical, and IADL-cognitive subdomains (κ = .51-.66). Those who reported being able at baseline also performed better on physical- and cognitive-performance tests. Those with variable performance between test occasions tended to report inconsistently on repeat measures in mobility and IADL-cognitive, suggesting fluctuations in physical and cognitive performance.

论东亚三国西学成果差异及其原因

东亚三国在文化层面上存在着东亚各国的文化差异,即东西文化交流与融合过程中,显现的东亚各国文化的传统特性。通过分析得出,东亚三国的历史文化传统差异是导致三国在不同时期、不同阶段形成西学成果及水准差异的主要原因。     

循环式国家：转型中国的符号式劳动治理机制探析

抗争政治与国家建设之间的关系是社会运动研究中的一个经典问题。本文通过对一组国有企业退休工人为维护退休金权益所展开的十年抗争进行过程事件分析,来勾勒国家在劳动治理过程中逐步形成的官僚场域。这个官僚场域由三个相互交叉的圈子所构成：信访办圈子、信访办与法院之间的圈子、中央与地方之间的圈子。这些交叉的圈子所构成的国家场域一方面通过对抗争的制度化循环而拉长了工人的斗争时间,分散了抗争的空间,从而有效遏止了抗争的激进化,另一方面则通过抗争工人与国家代理人之间的叙事化互动促进了国家资本的激活与流通,从而实现了对抗争者的象征性支配。     

文化生态视野的非物质文化遗产保护

我国一些非物质文化遗产之所以面临衰退、萎缩乃至失传的困境.根本原因在于非物质文化遗产赖以生存的文化生态遭到破坏。从文化人类学和社会文化学的视角出发,比照《保护非物质文化遗产公约》的相关理论和我国的现状,由此反思我国非物质文化遗产保护的路径和对策.其关键在于处理好四大关系,即"变"与"不变"的关系、"民族性"与"时代性"的关系、"保护"与"创新"的关系、"政府主导"与"群众参与"的关系。     

超越西化——论胡秋原的西方文化观及其意义

胡秋原根据历史事实指出,中国文化曾经长期领先于西方文化,这种格局在17世纪才发生逆转。通过广泛深入研究西方文化,他认为西方文化在近四百年发展繁荣的后期已经陷入深刻危机,并进而危及整个人类;导致西方文化危机的原因在于资本主义、科学主义畸变为势利主义、虚无主义,而近代西方启蒙价值在这种文化背景中或根本未能落实,或发生扭曲,故对于这种文化必须予以扬弃的超越。胡秋原揭露西方文化危机的主要目的在于矫正本国西化人物崇西贬中甚至趋西弃中的心态,由此表达的"超越西化"思想具有不容忽视的现实意义。     

高等教育改革若干重大问题的社会学反思

我国高教改革,曾在许多重要领域迈出了较大的步伐,成绩显著,问题突出.冷静看来,不少重要尝试是不很成功的,甚至是失败的.教育产业化,从理论到实践,都存在偏差;高校持续扩招,大抵上是以牺牲质量赢取数量和速度;高校合并升格,风起一时,满足了"大",失去了"特";后勤服务社会化,肥了个人,损了国家,"剥离"变成了"剥皮".高教改革到底应当怎么改法?现在到了该认真反思检讨的时候了.     

"新感觉派"的"异端"与"他者"——施蛰存与川端康成的类同性论析

施蛰存作为新感觉派代表作家,他更多地依恋于传统,其创作表现出传统美的特色.其创作风格的独特性以及相对于新感觉派所表现出的游离性,还有他不承认自己是新感觉派作家等等,都表现出他与日本新感觉派"异端"分子川端康成的类同,且其创作明显受到川端康成的影响.     

Multiple event times in the presence of informative censoring: modeling and analysis by copulas

Motivated by a breast cancer research program, this paper is concerned with the joint survivor function of multiple event times when their observations are subject to informative censoring caused by a terminating event. We formulate the correlation of the multiple event times together with the time to the terminating event by an Archimedean copula to account for the informative censoring. Adapting the widely used two-stage procedure under a copula model, we propose an easy-to-implement pseudo-likelihood based procedure for estimating the model parameters. The approach yields a new estimator for the marginal distribution of a single event time with semicompeting-risks data. We conduct both asymptotics and simulation studies to examine the proposed approach in consistency, efficiency, and robustness. Data from the breast cancer program are employed to illustrate this research.
