Deviant peer affiliation,parent involvement,and aggressive behaviors of rural children in China

Aggressive behaviors in early childhood may indicate future violence, so effective intervention measures should be taken on time to promote children's physical and psychological health. Based on sampling survey data from Jintang County in Sichuan Province of China, this paper analyzes the mechanism of rural children's aggressive behaviors from the perspective of peer influences and examines the role of parent involvement in it. The results show that the deeper the degree of deviant peer affiliation, the poorer the psychosocial adaptation of rural children, which is more likely to lead to aggressive behaviors. Parent involvement can effectively inhibit the aggressive behaviors of rural children arising from deviant peer affiliation.     

Career‐Related Parental Processes and Career Adaptability and Ambivalence Among Chinese Adolescents: A Person‐Centered Approach

Using latent profile analyses and based on two‐wave data from 5,388 Chinese adolescents (M_age = 15.79, SD = 0.66; 51.99% females), this study examined the variety of ways in which adolescents’ perceived career‐related parental processes (i.e., parental expectations, support, interference, barriers to engagement, and parent–child congruence) may be configured within families and how such configurations may be associated with adolescents’ career adaptability and ambivalence one year later. Three meaningful profiles were identified: the “Supportive but not Intrusive” (SNI) profile, the “Unsupportive but not Permissive” (UNP) profile, and the “Ambivalent and Controlling” (AC) profile. Adolescents in the UNP profile reported higher levels of career ambivalence and lower levels of career adaptability than did those in either the SNI or the AC profiles. Implications for career development among Chinese adolescents were discussed.     

Spontaneous plant colonization and bird visits of tropical extensive green roof

Green roofs can contribute to enrichment and conservation of urban ecology. An experimental green roof was established in humid-tropical Hong Kong to monitor over two years its spontaneous colonization by plants and bird visits. Some 94 voluntary vascular plant species from 26 families and 76 genera were established, with propagules brought mainly by birds and wind and secondarily inherited from soil seed bank. Plant species composition changed dynamically during the study period. They fall into three groups, namely dominant ruderal (herbaceous and sub-shrub) as surrogate of early-stage local grassland ecosystem succession, arboreal (trees and shrubs), and hygrophilous herb. Progressive increase in vegetation cover was accompanied by changes in species diversity and evenness. In addition, 16 bird species from 8 families and 14 genera were recorded. Ten species were residents and the six migrant species were winter visitors. Their food preference was mainly omnivore and insectivore. Winter and the second year encountered higher species richness, diversity, and evenness. Most vegetation parameters correlated positively with avian community indexes, signifying provision of sustenance by green-roof ecosystem to birds. Vegetation coverage correlated negatively with avian abundance, due to shunning by the abundant ground-foraging Tree Sparrow. Both local common ruderal plant species and common urban bird species can successfully establish and reproduce on the extensive green roof, confirming potentials for urban ecology and biodiversity enhancement and conservation even in densely-developed urban areas. The successful nurturing of naturalistic green roof offers new opportunities for green roof design that deviates from the predominant cultivated-horticultural approach.     

基于BCA模型的中国经济波动因素的再测算

文章以动态随机一般均衡模型作为基本分析框架,构建一个带有时变摩擦的实际经济周期(RBC)模型.在考虑经济结构变化的前提下,使用经济周期测度(BCA)模型对1978-2015年我国宏观经济波动特征进行研究和引起波动的因素进行分解,实证结果表明:1993年是我国经济系统结构变化的断点,1978-1992年我国经济波动主要受技术冲击影响,其他的冲击因素具有缓解经济波动的作用;1993-2015年,我国经济波动主要受投资冲击的影响,而技术冲击、劳动冲击和外部冲击也起到部分影响;改革开放以来,我国经济波动源由从单一波动源向多种冲击共同作用的趋势发展.     

环境规制、产业集聚与能源效率关系的实证分析

文章利用2003-2015年中国27个工业行业的面板数据,将环境规制、产业集聚和能源效率纳入统一的分析框架,实证分析环境规制对能源效率影响的创新补偿效应和产业集聚效应.结果显示:境规制促进了重度污染产业的集聚,不利于中度污染产业集聚程度的提升,对轻度污染产业的影响不显著.当不考虑产业集聚效应时,环境规制降低了重度污染产业的能源效率,促进了中度污染产业和轻度污染产业能源效率的提升.当加入环境规制与产业集聚的交互项后,重度污染产业的产业集聚效应抵消了环境规制带来的负效应;中度污染产业的产业集聚效应阻碍了环境规制创新补偿效应的发挥,抑制了能源效率的提升;轻度污染产业的产业集聚效应未能显著地提升能源效率.     

Turnover intention predictors among social workers in China

The purpose of this study was to examine factors that best predict turnover among social workers in nonprofit organizations in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province of China. A sample of 312 social workers was selected to complete a self‐administered anonymous survey in 2014. A multiple logistical regression model was used to explain the different factors that influence social workers’ intention to leave their current jobs. The findings showed that age, education, perceived working condition, the perceived prospect of the social work profession, and social support predict turnover intention among social workers.     

西藏高等教育入学率影响因素实证研究

自1985年开始,西藏自治区开始对义务教育阶段农牧民子女实行“三包”政策,到2006年,第一批义务教育的学生进入大学。但到目前为止,西藏高等教育入学率仍然偏低。本文选取了社会经济、家庭生计、学校教育、价值观念、环境交通等五个方面11个指标,运用主成分分析、回归分析法进行研究,通过实证研究和定量研究,发现社会经济发展水平,对家庭生计类型和收入水平具有显著影响,对教育支出水平具有重要影响,价值观念改变是重要环节,环境交通改善推动作用仍然不足。     

制度选择与路径依赖:我国城市化道路的选择及反思

运用新制度经济学路径依赖理论系统分析我国小城镇战略的选择、形成历程及其不断强化的内在逻辑,可知小城镇道路只是我国在特殊情况下不得已的临时选择。然而以小城镇为特色的城市化道路一经形成,便走上一条遵循自身演化逻辑的道路。虽然当初的诸多因素已有所改变,但由于对原有路径的依赖,小城镇道路最终上升为国家战略,演化过程中很多问题值得我们反思。     

国有企业的产权、改革宏观效应与退出成本研究——一个基于历史与宪法视角的国企存在合理性的逻辑证明

国有企业改革是一个历史过程,因此国有企业改革要遵循历史与逻辑相统一的"历史逻辑".国有企业的产权改革必须置于历史形成的既有的"宪法"的规范下才能寻找到"产权改革"的真正的"历史逻辑起点".从这个意义上说,单纯的寻利性的产权改革会面临合法性危机从而导致整个改革的合法性危机.国企改革的合法性意味着改革的始点必须公平,一旦满足了这个条件,产权交易的寻利过程会内生出各种所有制企业,则转轨后的经济就是"混合经济".
