Passion for a Leisure Activity,Presence of Meaning,and Search for Meaning: The Mediating Role of Emotion

The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of having a passion for a leisure activity on the presence of meaning and the search for meaning in college students’ lives. A path analysis of the results from 322 Chinese university students showed that positive emotions experienced during leisure activities partially mediated the relationship between harmonious passion and the presence of meaning. Negative emotion fully mediated obsessive passion and the presence of meaning as well as obsessive passion and the search for meaning. Obsessive passion was not associated with positive emotion. Implications for the dualistic model of passion, the presence of meaning, and the search for meaning in college students are discussed.     

The Relationships between Activity and Quality of Life for Older Men and Women at Different Ages in Taiwan

This study investigated the relationships between types of activity and quality of life (QOL) for older men and women at different ages. Based on cross-sectional data that included 220 community-dwelling elderly persons aged 65 and older in southern Taiwan, the results showed that the participation rates in many activities declined with age for both genders. Social activity and solitary leisure activity were significantly associated with QOL for old-old men, but not for young-old men. Only social activity was significantly associated with QOL for young-old women, but there was no significant association between any activity and QOL for old-old women.     

与国际行政法的产生有关的几个基本问题——基于全球化、全球治理的视角

全球治理的提出源于全球化的推动,而全球治理的提出及实践则使国际行政法的产生、形成成为可能。具体而言,全球公民社会的兴起与国际非政府组织的发展是国际行政法产生的两个现实驱动因素。国际行政法的产生路径可总结为"自下而上"和"自上而下"的路径。国际行政法具有区别于国内行政法的若干明显特征,国际层面相比国内层面的很多特殊性也使得国际行政法的体系化发展面临诸多挑战。这些问题虽然不能忽视,但它们也并非不可克服。虽然国际行政法不如国内行政法成熟,但是如能改进合法性,便能够将超国家机构的全球治理职能发挥得更好。全球治理语境下国际行政法体系的产生、形成是一种历史的必然趋势。     

A revisit to test the equality of variances of several populations

We revisit the problem of testing homoscedasticity (or, equality of variances) of several normal populations which has applications in many statistical analyses, including design of experiments. The standard text books and widely used statistical packages propose a few popular tests including Bartlett's test, Levene's test and a few adjustments of the latter. Apparently, the popularity of these tests have been based on limited simulation study carried out a few decades ago. The traditional tests, including the classical likelihood ratio test (LRT), are asymptotic in nature, and hence do not perform well for small sample sizes. In this paper we propose a simple parametric bootstrap (PB) modification of the LRT, and compare it against the other popular tests as well as their PB versions in terms of size and power. Our comprehensive simulation study bursts some popularly held myths about the commonly used tests and sheds some new light on this important problem. Though most popular statistical software/packages suggest using Bartlette's test, Levene's test, or modified Levene's test among a few others, our extensive simulation study, carried out under both the normal model as well as several non-normal models clearly shows that a PB version of the modified Levene's test (which does not use the F-distribution cut-off point as its critical value), and Loh's exact test are the “best” performers in terms of overall size as well as power.     

中越边境跨境非婚生子女的心理健康状况分析

采用问卷法,对中越边境地区跨境非婚生子女进行心理健康状况测查.结果表明,中越边境地区跨境非婚生子女总体心理健康水平低于国内其他一些中小学生群体,心理健康问题严重;女孩的恐怖倾向极其显著且高于男孩;中学生过敏倾向、对人焦虑显著高于小学生;父母是否外出打工对孩子心理健康的影响不显著;住校孩子的自责倾向、过敏倾向显著高于不住校的孩子;排行中间的孩子心理健康状况最差,排行对孩子自责倾向、身体症状影响显著.政府、学校要重视对这群特殊孩子的心理援助.     

民间传说与文献记载的关联：以巫山神女传说为例

现有文献中有关巫山神女的记载较多,三峡地区也有不少关于神女传说的版本,只是其与文献记载的神女故事情节相差甚远。民众在创作民间传说时,会根据具体的自然环境、社会伦理道德要求、自身的价值观、主流社会的需要以及文化传播等多种因素,完成传说情节的塑造。     

十一世纪太湖地区的水利与水学

从10世纪到11世纪,太湖以东地区农业开发加快,交通拓展,水环境迅速变化。由于宋廷以漕运和围垦利益为要,综合治水工程难以实施。水利学说在官方治水事业推动下得到发展。一部分有识官员和水利学家托古改制,塑造并推崇吴越国高低兼治的塘浦大圩农田水利格局,试图走出困境。11世纪中叶,圩田开发开始关乎地方官员的考成,水利学说再次兴起。     

沈阳国际学校上演非遗"大戏"

一个偶然的机会,辽宁省非物质文化遗产保护中心工作人员了解到,沈阳有一所外籍学校,那就是位于沈阳市和平区的沈阳国际学校,它成立于1998年,有来自韩国、日本、美国、加拿大等国家的学生1 98人,执教的中外教师80余人.     

论新时期电影中女性情欲的政治表述

在倡导生产伦理的主导政治的影响下，新时期电影中的女性情欲话语依然内含着某种变形后的政治动员机制，它们或以情欲展演完成政治神话的表述，或以情欲规划引导观众的利比多流向。然而，新时期电影所获得的半自律性生存空间，使得越轨的银幕女体情欲展演亦拥有其存活土壤，它们与主导政治文化之间既有共谋亦有背离。     

生命信息的交融互渗——中国花鸟画审美初探

自然界的有生命之物,以其不同的形状、色彩、气息和动静之态,而有着不同的审美价值.它们的美是生命之美.中国花鸟画不以再现自然对象的外形为目的,而以思想、情感、意趣等生命现象的高级形式反映在作品中.作者根据主观的审美理想和自我生命的节律加以重新创造,使其固定为物化状态,给人以美的滋养.
