Age Cohort, Ancestry, and Immigrant Generation Influences in Family Relations and Psychological Well-Being among Black Caribbean Family Members

Immigration is contributing to the U.S. population becoming increasingly ethnically diverse. This article examines the role of family relations and well-being among different generations of Black Caribbean immigrants. Family disruptions, such as migration, can have complex effects on the support networks and emotional well-being of family members. Data from a recently completed national study of American Blacks in the United States, however, reveal significant similarities across ancestry and immigrant status in family contact, solidarity and well-being. It is concluded that intrafamilial relations may serve to overcome barriers of geographical distance in providing comparable levels of contact, solidarity, and well-being for both U.S.-born and immigrant Black Caribbean family members of different generations. Because of the increasing numbers of immigrant elders, these sources of family support will become increasingly more important in bridging the gaps between government resources and needed assistance in an aging society.     

批判性思维和非形式逻辑的互动关系

20世纪后期,北美教育领域出现了强调思维能力和气质,克服低层次、复制性学习弊端的“批判性思维运动”。几乎同时,一股逻辑学的“新浪潮”———“非形式逻辑运动”在高校兴起,结果使批判性思维能力和气质的培养成为高校非形式逻辑教育的目标,而非形式逻辑教学成为批判性思维能力和气质培养的主要途径。二者的互动,给高校逻辑教学带来新气象。     

中国民事诉讼费用负担制度的法经济学思考

当事人之间诉讼费用负担和国家对审判成本负担的划分影响着当事人诉讼行为的选择。目前中国民事诉讼费用负担制度存在着制度供给不足、缺少救济措施、权利分布不均衡和国家承担公共成本太低等问题,因此健全中国民事诉讼费用负担制度,制定可行的救济措施,并对民事诉讼费用负担判决实行监督,实施法院独立预算等措施,才是解决民事诉讼费用负担问题的根本途径。

元叙述：叙述者“侵入式”叙述与传统叙述的似真性

新时期小说中的元小说是中国当代小说中一种极为独特的叙事文本,表现出对传统小说叙述特征的冲击与解构,在对当代学者研究成果概述的基础上,可以看出元小说叙述迥异于中国传统文学创作的叙述语言,是小说语言变异的特征之一。     

Earnings of Chinese Immigrants in the Enclave and Mainstream Economy*

La documentation sur le sujet n'est pas décisive quant à savoir si léconomie ethnique enclavée enregistre un rendement économique comparable chez les travailleurs et les entrepreneurs immigrants à ceux qui se situent dans le courant économique principal. Les auteurs de cette étude utilisent des données du Recensement du Canada de 2001 sur la langue la plus utilisée au travail din de mesurer la participation des immigrants chinois à léconomie enclavée. Après les avoir comparés au capital humain ainsi qu'aux variations liées au travail et au milieu urbain, les résultats démontrent que le rendement est moins élevé chez les hommes et chez les femmes de l'enclave que celui des gens qui se trouvent dans le courant économique principal. Les caractéristiques de la langue et le type de travail qui s'effectue dans léconomie enclavée expliquent pourquoi le rendement y est inférieur à celui obtenu dans le courant économique principal. The literature in inconclusive as to whether the immigrant enclave economy offers returns to immigrant workers and entrepreneurs comparative to those in the mainstream economy. This study uses data from the 2001 Census of Canada on language most often used at work to measure enclave economy participation for Chinese immigrants. The findings show that returns are lower for men or women in the enclave than those in the mainstream economy, respectively, after controlling for human capital, work‐related and urban variations. Language features of and job type in the enclave economy explain why returns are inferior to that of the mainstream economy.     

The Development of Anticipatory Smiling

When do infants begin to communicate positive affect about physical objects to their social partners? We examined developmental changes in the timing of smiles during episodes of initiating joint attention that involved an infant gazing between an object and a social partner. Twenty‐six typically developing infants were observed at 8, 10, and 12 months during the Early Social‐Communication Scales, a semistructured assessment for eliciting initiating joint attention and related behaviors. The proportion of infant smiling during initiating joint attention episodes did not change with age, but there was a change in the timing of the smiles. The likelihood of infants smiling at an object and then gazing at the experimenter while smiling (anticipatory smiling) increased between 8 and 10 months and remained stable between 10 and 12 months. The increase in the number of infants who smiled at an object and then made eye contact suggests a developing ability to communicate positive affect about an object.     

试析技术异化的劳动异化根源

探讨现代技术异化的根源,不能只从技术层面去寻找.技术是人类生存实践的产物,技术形态和应用后果都是社会建构的,技术异化的根源也在于社会应用技术的主导模式.通过对劳动异化和技术异化的分析,认为技术异化是以资本主义生产方式和机器技术的大规模应用为前提的,根本的原因则是资本主义生产方式占据主导地位的情况下劳动异化了.因而,技术作为资本增值的内在手段,与劳动和自然对立,技术异化是劳动异化的必然表现.马克思的劳动异化思想,对我们深入理解技术异化的根源及其后果,具有极其重要的指导意义.
