西部开发之刑事法治问题探索

西部地区有其独特的“区情”,要为西部大开发创建良好的刑事法治环境,就必须考虑其传统的地域法律文化、多样的犯罪诱惑因素和落后的司法实际状况等具体“语境”,从而讲策略地准确打击犯罪和分层次地有效预防犯罪。     

城市化水平愈高会愈减少歧视吗?——中国城市居民与外来务工人员之间的社会距离

文章通过对2005年全国综合社会调查数据分析,发现随着一个城市城市化水平的增加,城市居民对居住在这个城市的外来务工人员的歧视态度也愈加严重;沿海地区城市居民比内陆地区城市居民对外来务工人员的歧视度要高。     

跨文化语境中的伊斯兰影响研究

本文以但丁的《神曲》为载体,以先知登宵故事在欧洲的传播为线索,研究伊斯兰文化如何在跨文化的语境中进行传播,以及此种传播如何扩大了伊斯兰文化的世界影响力并使得中世纪的欧洲文化带有显著的混合文化的特点。     

不同沟通情景下有效领导者的素质差异

本文在领导理论的基础上,以不同类型沟通情景为观测变量,以领导素质特征为因变量,采用单因素方差分析和多重比较检验的统计方法,研究了不同类型沟通情景下有效领导者的综合素质差异。通过研究说明了在不同类型沟通情景下,有效领导者素质与情景相互匹配的必要性和重要性,从而验证了基于情景的领导素质理论的假设。     

汉语阅读中的伴随性词汇学习研究

无论是第一语言还是第二语言，人们学习词语的途径主要有两种：专门的词语教学和阅读中的伴随性习得。本文在实验的基础上，研究学习汉语的日本学习者是否能通过阅读习得词语。结果显示，阅读能使学生学会一些本来不知道的词语。文章探讨了通过阅读学习词语的过程，同时还分析了影响这种学习的因素，包括学习者的语言水平、词汇量、词语出现的次数及词语所处语境的特点等。     

《全宋词》四川词人作品中的推理转折句

转折句式的研究在我国由来已久,不过前人的研究往往仅从语义上入手,较为笼统,本文以相关语用学知识为指导,考察了《全宋词》四川词人作品中的推理转折句,分析了此类转折句的构成、分类、及语用特点,我们发现这类句式与语境有着极为密切的联系,在分析时必须借助具体的语言环境。     

论词义的动态变化和语符消失现象

历史的演变、社会的变革,道德化的变异促使当代的英语发生了重大的变化。其中语言的动态变化及语符消失现象是英语变化发展的重要标志之一。为了发展当代的应用语言学,我们必须极大地关注和研究当代英语的动态变化及语符消失现象。     

The effects of income source,context, and income level on tax compliance decisions in a dynamic experiment

This study employs a laboratory experiment to explore the joint effect of income source (earned versus endowed) and decision context (tax versus nontax) on tax compliance behavior. During the experiment, subjects faced various income levels and made multiple reporting decisions. The results indicate that overall compliance is not significantly affected by the interaction of income source and context. However, this joint effect influences the relationship between income level and compliance and how compliance behavior evolves over time. In both cases, the treatment group with earned income in a tax context displays behavior that is distinct from the other three groups.     

Using crowdsourced online experiments to study context-dependency of behavior

We use Mechanical Turk's diverse participant pool to conduct online bargaining games in India and the US. First, we assess internal validity of crowdsourced experimentation through variation of stakes ($0, $1, $4, and $10) in the Ultimatum and Dictator Game. For cross-country equivalence we adjust the stakes following differences in purchasing power. Our marginal totals correspond closely to laboratory findings. Monetary incentives induce more selfish behavior but, in line with most laboratory findings, the particular size of a positive stake appears irrelevant. Second, by transporting a homogeneous decision situation into various living conditions crowdsourced experimentation permits identification of context effects on elicited behavior. We explore context-dependency using session-level variation in participants' geographical location, regional affluence, and local social capital. Across “virtual pools” behavior varies in the range of stake effects. We argue that quasi-experimental variation of the characteristics people bring to the experimental situation is the key potential of crowdsourced online designs.     

The power of the context map: Designing realistic outcome evaluation strategies and other unanticipated benefits

Developing a feasible evaluation plan is challenging when multiple activities, often sponsored by multiple agencies, work together toward a common goal. Often, resources are limited and not every agency's interest can be represented in the final evaluation plan. The article illustrates how the Antecedent Target Measurement (ATM) approach to logic modeling was adapted to meet this challenge. The key adaptation is the context map generated in the first step of the ATM approach. The context map makes visually explicit many of the underlying conditions contributing to a problem as possible. The article also shares how a prioritization matrix can assist the evaluator in filtering through the context map to prioritize the outcomes to be included in the final evaluation plan as well as creating realistic outcomes. This transparent prioritization process can be especially helpful in managing evaluation expectations of multiple agencies with competing interests. Additional strategic planning benefits of the context map include pinpointing redundancies caused by overlapping collaborative efforts, identifying gaps in coverage, and assisting the coordination of multiple stakeholders.
