An Examination of the Dual Model of Perfectionism and Adolescent Athlete Burnout: A Short-Term Longitudinal Research

The dual model of perfectionism (Slade and Owens, Behav Modificat 22(3):372–390, 1998) is adopted to examine the influence of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism on adolescent athlete burnout in Taiwan. Participants were 188 high school adolescent student-athletes (M = 16.48, SD = .59). They were administered the Multidimensional Inventory of Perfectionism in Sport (Stoeber et al., Pers Individ Dif 43(1):131–141, 2007) and the Chinese Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) (Lu et al., Phys Educ J 39(3):83–94, 2006). A field longitudinal design was used. In cross-sectional analyses, hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that adaptive perfectionism negatively predicted athlete burnout while maladaptive perfectionism had an inverse relationship with burnout. However, after controlling for the initial scores of burnout, neither adaptive nor maladaptive perfectionism significantly predicted athlete burnout after a three month interval. Possible mechanisms of this relation, limitations, and practical implications are discussed.     

Subjective Quality of Life in Zhuhai City,South China: A Public Survey Using the International Wellbeing Index

The study of subjective quality of life and its connotations in the People’s Republic of China is at a preliminary stage. Although there is an emerging body of literature on this topic, there are few datasets representative of the general public, particularly in Mainland China. This paper reports the findings of a public survey (N = 449) conducted in Zhuhai City, South China using the International Wellbeing Index (IWI). There were four main aims: (1) to judge whether residents were satisfied with their lives; (2) to compare the data with recent findings from Hong Kong and Macau; (3) to investigate the equivalence of the IWI in terms of its psychometric properties; and (4) to determine the applicability of the ‘Theory of Homeostasis Wellbeing’. The data indicated a moderate level of personal (PWI score = 64.4.) and national (NWI score = 57.4) wellbeing, consistent with recent findings from Hong Kong and Macau. The PWI score was within the normative range for non-Western countries, which indicates that the residents were, on the whole, satisfied with their lives. Although previously reported objective measures of quality of life in Zhuhai are lower than in Hong Kong and Macau, this is not reflected in this study’s subjective measures. This finding was interpreted in terms of the ‘Theory of Subjective Wellbeing Homeostasis’, and the specific situation in Zhuhai, as there seems to be an absence of factors (i.e., no harsh economic or social situation) which could drive subjective wellbeing below normal. Last, that the IWI demonstrated good psychometric performance in terms of its reliability, validity, and sensitivity, and concurred with previous published reports, it seems that the scale’s robustness generalises to Chinese samples.

对Cosmopolitanism的理解与汉语翻译

在一般汉文字典里,Cosmopolitanism被译为世界主义或世界性.这个词语是西方思想和社会研究的一个重要概念,也是近年来西方社会学重新重视的概念.要讨论适当的翻译,就必须先明白其意思和用法.虽然人类学的理论较少谈到cosmopolitanism,但是人类学对cosmopolitanism的世界观已经作出良多的贡献.     

当代民间信仰研究的现状和走向思考

当代中国思想文化一个无可回避的事实,就是如何看待现实社会中广泛存在的民间信仰.近几年,学界对什么是民间信仰,展开热烈的讨论,有关"民间信仰"的定义也众说纷纭,但是,大多论者对民间信仰往往只注意其信仰的层面,并以宗教学的知识、理论进行解说,缺乏该信仰与现实社会关系的研究.新的研究走向,拟从当代社会流行的民间信仰和民众生活的关系,从一种不脱离信仰的生活切入,以点带面,实践调查,理性分析,科学界定,并在此基础上提出相应的对策,为国家对民间信仰的管理提供政策的依据,为中国现当代思想文化建设做出应有的贡献.     

民族政策对主要少数民族地区人口发展的影响

中国是一个多民族的国家,共有56个民族,其中55个为少数民族。中华人民共和国成立后,国家十分重视少数民族地区的发展,先后制定和实施了许多民族政策,促进了少数民族人口的健康发展。建立了内蒙古、新疆、宁夏、广西和西藏5个民族自治地区,77个地级单位（包括31个地级市和30个民族自治州）,699个县级区划（包括66个县级市和120个民族自治县（旗））。民族自治地区的总面积为617万平方公里,占全国总面积的64．3％。2005年,少数民族地区人口为17507万人,占全国总人口的13．39％;其中少数民族人口为8239万人,占少数民族地区总人口的47．06％,占全国总人口的6．3％。

中国生育率研究方法:30年回眸

改革开放30年是我国人口学及人口研究迅速成长的30年。生育率研究方法从一个侧面反映出改革开放以来我国人口学研究方法的发展。中国的生育率研究方法既有从西方引进的各种生育率指标和模型,也有中国学者为了适应自己的需要而改进和创建的方法和模型。笔者从生育率度量指标和生育率模型两个方面总结我国生育率研究方法的应用及变化。对在中国生育率研究中所使用的主要方法进行回顾并对这些方法对我国生育率研究的贡献进行总结。     

价格传导机制及其对农村居民收入分配的影响——基于新疆SAM的实证分析

本研究以静态价值型的模型为背景,基于SAM的乘数分析和结构化路径分析原理,对价格传导如何影响新疆农村居民的收入分配进行实证研究。研究结论表明：部门的价格变动对农村居民消费价格有显著的影响：在价格的传导过程中,有些是通过直接路径传导,有些是通过多条间接路径的传递对农村居民消费价格指数（CPI）和收入分配发生作用,因而导致农村居民实际生活成本发生变化,最终使农村居民的实际收入水平也发生变化。     

甘肃省居民生育意愿与生育目的的调查研究

文章利用2007年调查数据,分析研究了甘肃省居民的生育意愿和生育目的。调查发现．随着经济的发展和社会的进步,甘肃省居民的意愿生育数量不断减少,已经略低于更替生育水平,男孩偏好的意愿生育性别倾向仍然广泛存在,期望生育一儿一女是大部分甘肃居民最为普遍的愿望,意愿妇女初育年龄不断推迟．生育目的呈现出多元化趋势,但养老送终、传宗接代仍是目前最重要的生育目的。
