The arrival of critical citizens: decline of political trust and shifting public priorities in China

Political trust has been in decline in China. In this article, we capture this decline as reflecting the modernization of Chinese political culture. While the government managed to deliver a sustained period of rapid economic growth, the public's trust in it is diminishing through two mechanisms. On the one hand, Chinese citizens are acquiring stronger liberal democratic values, which make citizens more critical toward government institutions. On the other hand, changing political culture is also shown in the citizens’ shifting of their priorities toward the expansion of freedom and empowerment of citizens. Decades of socioeconomic modernization, therefore, meant that the era of critical citizens has arrived in China.     

A Preliminary Examination of Covitality as Integrated Well-Being in College Students

The emergence of positive psychology has generated increased interest about the correlates of positive psychological functioning. Researchers have identified and studied various positive psychological constructs (e.g., hope, optimism, self-efficacy, gratitude, and life satisfaction) and found them to covary and to be positively associated with optimal human functioning and negatively associated with mental illness. This study of 528 college students examined the co-occurrence of selected positive psychological traits and explored their relations with a proposed second-order latent construct called covitality and with psychological well-being. Structural equation modeling examined each first-order positive psychology construct related to the second-order concept of covitality. Findings supported the second-order latent factor model of covitality, which was also significantly related to indicators of psychological well-being. Implications for theory development related to understanding positive human resources and applications within the context of college student populations are discussed.

Practical problems in sampling for social and demographic inquiries in undeveloped countries

This article discusses practical problems in connexion with the taking of sample surveys for demographic inquiries in undeveloped countries.

The discussion is divided into three main topics, dealing with the problems of definitions, sampling and operation of a sample survey. The, conclusion reached is that, where previous information is available for the selection of a sample, the difficulties encountered in the problems of definition and operation are generally-intensified forms of those to be overcome in surveys in developed countries. Otherwise, the sampling aspect itself will constitute a difficult problem, for the solution of which experimental surveys in the form of sequential chain experiments carried out by the Indian Statistical Institute for crop surveys may have to be used.

心性本不二--从《郭店竹简·性自命出》篇论儒家"性"论之特征

在儒家正统哲学中,"性"作为人得以成立之依据,乃是天赋的.这也可以表述为"性善论".<郭店楚简·性自命出>篇的贡献在于,它论证了人性(天性)之实践环节在"心"上,由此形成"心性不二"的天-人关系框架.突出"心"之本体地位,"人道"内在同一于"天道",对"天道"的追求也实践地落实为人道追求;但另一方面,人道实践乃是天道实现的环节,又深刻地区别于"人类中心"的泥淖,从而有助于建立天-人,人-物的合宜关系.
