Divorce in Hong Kong SAR, 1999–2011: A Review of 1,208 Family Court Cases

Divorce has increased dramatically in Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia since the 2000s, whereas the West has seen a decline, suggesting there are factors specific to Hong Kong relating to divorce. This study examined a random sample of 1,208 divorce cases from the Hong Kong Family Court between 1999 and 2011. These marriages lasted 11 to 12 years on average, and most divorces occurred between the 5th and 7th years of marriage. Couples with a divorce history had a higher divorce risk, regardless of whether they had children, and predivorce marriage duration was positively associated with the number of children. The grounds cited for divorce indicate a shift toward no-fault divorce. Most petitioners were women, and mothers were generally granted child custody. Cross-border marriages and remarriages accounted for about one third of divorces, reflecting the impacts of differing sociocultural backgrounds and divorce history. The study’s implications for policymaking and service provision are discussed.

中日大学生及父母的赡养意识

本研究旨在分析中日两国两代人之间赡养父母意识的异同。采用赡养父母意识量表,测量了中国大学生及父母(大学生959人、其父母707人)和日本大学生及父母(大学生636人、其父母368人)的父母赡养意识。结果发现:中国大学生和父母在"与父母同住意识"和"赡养父母意识"上显著高于日本;日本大学生更多地选择"自宅死";中国父母、日本大学生和日本父母的手段性赡养意识显著低于情绪性赡养意识,其中日本父母的手段性赡养意识在各组中最低。     

On the Equivalence of Bayesian and Dominant Strategy Implementation

We consider a standard social choice environment with linear utilities and independent, one‐dimensional, private types. We prove that for any Bayesian incentive compatible mechanism there exists an equivalent dominant strategy incentive compatible mechanism that delivers the same interim expected utilities for all agents and the same ex ante expected social surplus. The short proof is based on an extension of an elegant result due to Gutmann, Kemperman, Reeds, and Shepp (1991). We also show that the equivalence between Bayesian and dominant strategy implementation generally breaks down when the main assumptions underlying the social choice model are relaxed or when the equivalence concept is strengthened to apply to interim expected allocations.     

团队中的关系、迎合与职业成功——基于戏剧理论的解释框架

本文以戏剧理论为基础,在688份问卷基础上,运用多层线性模型探讨了领导—下属“关系”作为角色规范对下属迎合行为与职业成功的影响.结果表明:(1)领导—下属“关系”作为角色规范对下属迎合行为有正向影响;(2)下属迎合行为对下属职业成长有正向影响;(3)来自领导的人际公平氛围作为戏剧前台,对领导—下属“关系”对下属迎合行为影响关系具有调节作用,在高人际公平氛围下,领导—下属“关系”对下属迎合行为影响减弱,这就为领导管理实践过程中降低下属迎合行为提供了建议.本文将职业竞技场比拟成职业剧场,探讨了戏剧理论中员工职业成功的关键因素,认为员工能够体会情景以及文化所传递的角色规范,并表现出与之相匹配的行为,才是个体职业成功的关键.     

Politics of Hospitality: African Students at the Hebrew University Medical School in the 1960s

From 1961-1965, the Medical School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem taught four cohorts of medical students from developing countries, mostly African. This article explores the program through the theory of hospitality. First, we find that hospitality is constructed and enabled by international interests. Second, those interests build a status which has unexpected consequences that reveal sorts of hosts, welcoming and xenophobic. Third, as an outcome of the international structure of student exchange, the guests' response to the terms of hospitality was mitigated by their privileged status as international medical students. On the one hand, they appreciated Israel as a model of post-colonial state-building; on the other, they criticized the racist reactions to their presence.     

Family Therapy for a Korean Son with Schizophrenia

In recent decades the treatment of schizophrenia has focused primarily on pharmacotherapy with an emphasis on respite for family caregivers, support groups, and compliance regimens to sustain and maintain the affected client and family members. The use of family therapy models to intervene effectively with families affected by a diagnosis of schizophrenia is less common in the professional literature. This case study draws on the Mental Research Institute's communication theory and Bowen Family Systems Theory in therapeutic work with a Korean family.
