What Theories and Methods From Relationship Research Can Contribute to Sex Research

Sexual and relationship satisfaction tend to be closely linked in the context of romantic relationships. Understanding how sexual processes influence relationships and how aspects of the relationship influence a couple’s sex life can provide insight into the maintenance of sexual desire and satisfaction over time. In this article, we review how theories and methods that form the foundation for relationship research have made—and will continue to make—sexuality research a stronger, more theoretical, and methodologically sophisticated science. We discuss the key theories that have been used to advance our understanding of who is more likely to be sexually satisfied in relationships, when sex is most satisfying, and how couples can have more satisfying sex lives and relationships. We then provide an overview of dyadic and repeated-measures designs and demonstrate how the use of these types of research methods allows relationship and sexuality researchers to answer novel and nuanced questions about how romantic partners influence each other, as well as how sexual processes unfold in couples’ daily lives and over time. Throughout the review, we highlight what we see as fruitful directions for future research at the intersection of sexuality and relationships.     

Assessing Prejudice Toward Two-Father Parenting and Two-Mother Parenting: The Beliefs on Same-Sex Parenting Scale

This article describes two interrelated studies that investigated beliefs and stereotypes on two-father parenting and two-mother parenting through the development and validation of the Beliefs on Same-Sex Parenting (BOSSP) scale. The BOSSP captures two beliefs: (1) prejudices toward same-sex couples’ inherent inability to parent and (2) concerns about same-sex parenting that are not necessarily related to homonegativity. In Study 1 (301 heterosexual participants), exploratory factor analysis (EFA) suggested an 11-item scale for attitudes toward both two-father families and two-mother families, with two factors: parenting skills, which evaluates beliefs on same-sex couples’ ability to take care of their children; and parental adjustment, which assesses beliefs on the impact of challenges related to same-sex parenting on children’s well-being. Support for convergent validity between BOSSP factor scores and those of theoretically related measures were provided. In Study 2 (346 heterosexual participants surveyed in two time points), CFA indicated that the two-factor model provided the best fit. Test-retest reliability and longitudinal invariance were documented. Finally, results revealed that more negative attitudes toward same-sex parenting were held by men than by women and were associated with negative opinions on reproductive techniques. The innovative characteristics of the BOSSP and implications for future practice are discussed.     

Evaluating the effect of a campus-wide social norms marketing intervention on alcohol-use perceptions,consumption, and blackouts

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a campus-wide social norms marketing intervention on alcohol-use perceptions, consumption, and blackouts at a large, urban, public university. Participants: 4,172 college students (1,208 freshmen, 1,159 sophomores, 953 juniors, and 852 seniors) who completed surveys in Spring 2015 for the Spit for Science Study, a longitudinal study of students' substance use and emotional health. Methods: Participants were e-mailed an online survey that queried campaign readership, perception of peer alcohol use, alcohol consumption, frequency of consumption, and frequency of blackouts. Associations between variables were evaluated using path analysis. Results: We found that campaign readership was associated with more accurate perceptions of peer alcohol use, which, in turn, was associated with self-reported lower number of drinks per sitting and experiencing fewer blackouts. Conclusions: This evaluation supports the use of social norms marketing as a population-level intervention to correct alcohol-use misperceptions and reduce blackouts.     

近年来高校思想政治教育工作的转变与挑战

党的十六大以来,高校大学生思想政治教育正在从“文本”范式向“人本”范式转变;从主体中心模式向主体间性转变;由经验形态向科学形态与学科形态转化;从重视单一的意识形态目标向强调人的素质的全面发展的转变,以单一理论课课堂教育为主向重视各门课的育人作用转变;从救火式模式向育人模式、前瞻模式转变;从以传统课堂教育为载体为主向校园文化与网络为主的现代载体转变;思政队伍由在实践中摸索成长向专业化培养成才的转变;由封闭的学校教育向注重家庭、社会与学校的合力构建的转变。同时也存在着一些问题和挑战：     

从丁未黄冈起义看清政府的危机应对

丁未黄冈起义尽管历时仅仅数日,然而却暴露出清政府在危机应对方面的种种不足,这集中体现在四个方面:一、预警机制的缺失.二、社会控制能力弱化.三、对舆论宣传控制不力.四、人事协调能力弱化.总之,面对黄冈起义,清政府在危机应对上存在诸多方面的问题.清廷最后走向灭亡,上述因素值得深思.     

论村庄内部因素在公共物品供给中的作用及实现机制

农村公共物品供给状况直接关系到农村社会发展水平和农民生活质量.村庄内部因素在农村公共物品供给中的作用越来越突出.通过山东省一个村庄的深入剖析可以看出村委会、村民小组、村民等村庄内部因素在村庄公共物品供给中的角色特征.村委会、村小组、村民构成了农村公共物品供给的三级主体,但村民参与供给的主动性不够,村委会参与公共物品供给的自主性不足.中国的城乡关系变革会带来国家--村落基层组织--村民三者之间关系的变革,这些因素在公共物品的供给方面须有良性的互动模式.     

孙中山关于国共合作的心理场结构及其对最终走向的影响

关于孙中山第一次国共合作的态度,我们在以往的研究中或是对孙中山进行了过分拔高,忽视其阶级属性;或是将其过分贬低,仅仅等同为资产阶级利益的守护者。而引入心理场概念,对具体环境下孙中山心理场中影响国共合作的正负向量进行解析,可以还原其真实心态。这种心态也最终决定了第一次国共合作的走向。

中国制造业企业创新行为的观测和实证研究 ——基于浙江省制造业1454家企业问卷调查的分析

 本文在浙江省制造业1454家企业大样本调查问卷的基础上,在微观层面研究了企业创新行为以及影响因素。首先利用统计分析的方法考察了企业创新投入的特征、创新投入的行业分布以及创新投入的产出绩效,并且发现了企业规模与R&;D强度之间呈现倒U型关系,这与安同良等人发现的倾斜V型关系的结论不同。其次运用计量分析的方法在有效控制了企业所处行业的技术水平差异、企业产权结构、政府资金扶持、企业品牌和企业设备技术水平后,研究发现：企业规模与企业创新投入之间也呈现较明显的倒U型关系,并且存在规模“拐点”;企业知识产权战略对企业创新投入具有明显的促进作用;出口贸易对企业创新投入并不显著,但发达国家特别是针对发展中国家设置的技术性贸易壁垒的技术标准化要求对企业创新投入有比较明显的促进作用;而企业集聚对企业的创新投入的影响并不确定。
