Perceptions of Parental Intimate Relationships and Their Affects on the Experience of Romantic Relationship Development Among African American Emerging Adults

The quality of romantic relationships that parents maintain has an impact on their children. Emerging adult children base their relationships on similar values and/or opposing beliefs of their parental romantic relationships. This phenomenological study aimed to identify how African American emerging adults experience their parental romantic relationships and how they find meaning in the romantic relationships of their parents. Results suggest that African American emerging adults develop both positive and negative perceptions about romantic relationships from their parents’ relationships, which affect the way these adults perceive, develop, and maintain their own romantic unions. African American emerging adults also find meaning in their parental couple relationships as they share similar experiences in their relationship quality, mate choice, and/or personal or mate characteristics and personality traits as their parents.     

Contextualizing Father Involvement and Paternal Influence

SUMMARY

We clarify the basic features of a sociological perspective as it relates to the study of fathers' involvement with, and influence on, their children. Our analysis emphasizes the dynamic interplay between social structures and processes at the macro, meso, and micro levels while focusing on social psychological issues. We examine (a) the social, organizational, and cultural contexts for fathering, (b) fathers' social capital contributions, (c) the construction and maintenance of father identities, and (d) fathering as a co-constructed accomplishment. These foci draw attention to how father involvement is affected by race, gender, economic considerations and a father's relationships with his child's mother and others in the community. We also examine how reflected appraisals of others may affect how a man perceives himself as a father. Relying heavily on qualitative approaches such as in-depth interviews, discourse analysis, interpretive practice, narrative practice, and dramaturgy, we suggest a number of ways a sociological lens can inform our understanding of father involvement.

大胆假设,细致分析——比较文学“影响研究”新解

影响研究就是在“传播研究”所能提供的事实非常有限的条件下 ,提出文学影响的假说 ,并在此基础上对作家作品进行细致的分析和研究。在这个问题上 ,笔者不同意韦勒克等人关于影响研究“甚至不可能完整地研究一部艺术品”的看法。认为“影响研究”有三个阶段或三个层次 :第一 ,提出“影响”的假说 ;第二 ,为论证影响假说而对具体作家作品进行分析 ,其中包括对主题、题材与情节的分析、对典型人物的解剖 ,对艺术手法艺术风格的对比等等 ,从而见出影响是否存在 ,如何存在 ,如何表现 ;第三 ,指出影响接受者如何超越影响 ,即“超影响”的研究 ,亦即研究影响的范围与限度、影响与独创的关系     

论新诗的职能单一对诗体建设的负面影响

受时代的制约 ,特别是受意识形态的影响 ,新诗的职能总是被世俗化、实用化和简单化 ,总是片面强调诗的社会教化职能或个体抒情功能 ,对诗的审美功能和语言游戏功能极端忽视 ,对写什么太重视 ,太轻视怎么写 ,过分强调内容大于形式 ,主题先行式写作盛行 ,很多诗人成也题材败也题材。八九十年代的诗人争当的是诗意的先锋而非诗艺的先锋。新诗的职能单一严重影响了新诗诗体的建设。

劳动力流动对农村经济的影响效应——基于对四川省调查数据的分析

本文以国家社科基金课题组2010年初在四川省63个自然村有无外出务工家庭的问卷调查为研究样本,分析四川省农村劳动力流动的个体特征,劳动力流动对农民家庭收支、福利及农户农业生产的影响。结果发现:农村劳动力流动对增加农村居民收入、缓解农民家庭贫困、改善农民家庭福利状况及促进土地流转具有积极效应;对农户劳动力和土地等基本资源的合理配置具有一定的促进作用,但对农业产出率的提高和技术进步的作用不显著。     

工农专政苏维埃国家形态的影响

20世纪二三十年代中国共产党领导的工农民主专政苏维埃政权的建立,在中国国家形态转型上有着重大的制度创设意义,促进了社会新风尚的形成,扩大了共产党的影响力,迫使南京国民政府作出积极的反应,但也有着不容忽视的消极影响。苏维埃政权的兴衰,为我们今天的现代化建设提供了丰富、可资借鉴的历史经验。     

Family or friends: what counts more for drinking behaviour of young adults? / Familia o amigos: ¿qué pesa más en los hábitos de consumo de alcohol de los jóvenes?

The scientific literature stresses the importance of culture and social environment in determining what people think about alcohol consumption and consequently do. Several pieces of research have proved the influence on young adults’ alcohol use of proximal social contexts of their family and peers. The present study aimed at investigating the influence of family behaviours and norms compared to the peers’ influence in a context where the culture of alcohol is changing between the different generations. Data were collected by means of a self-report questionnaire on a sample of 598 young adults (average age 22.20 years). The variables investigated were socio-demographic characteristics, the alcohol consumption of parents and friends and the parents’ and peers’ approval of alcohol consumption. The results confirmed the role of family and friends in influencing young adults’ consumption of alcohol, stressing a difference between perceived behaviours and norms. The perceived consumption of parents and friends influenced the participants’ consumption. On the contrary, the effects of the approval of drinking were limited. Globally friends had a stronger influence on alcohol consumption in comparison with family.     

Local influence in seemingly unrelated regression model with ridge estimate

Local influence is a well-known method for identifying the influential observations in a dataset and commonly needed in a statistical analysis. In this paper, we study the local influence on the parameters of interest in the seemingly unrelated regression model with ridge estimation, when there exists collinearity among the explanatory variables. We examine two types of perturbation schemes to identify influential observations: the perturbation of variance and the perturbation of individual explanatory variables. Finally, the efficacy of our proposed method is illustrated by analyzing [13 A. Munnell, Why has productivity declined? Productivity and public investment, New Engl. Econ. Rev. (1990), pp. 3–22. [Google Scholar]] productivity dataset.
