Construct Validity of the Emotion Matching Task: Preliminary Evidence for Convergent and Criterion Validity of a New Emotion Knowledge Measure for Young Children

Current emotion knowledge (EK) measures examine only one component of the multifaceted construct. We examined the reliability and the construct validity of a new measure of EK, the emotion matching task (EMT). The EMT consists of four parts which measure the components of receptive EK, expressive EK, emotion situation knowledge, and emotion expression matching. First, we compared the EMT and its parts to two widely used EK measures—the Kusche emotional inventory (KEI) and Denham's affective knowledge test (AKT, 1986) in order to establish convergent validity. The EMT and its four parts were strongly correlated with both measures of EK. Regression analyses revealed moderate to strong predictive validity for EMT. Compared with KEI and AKT, the EMT was a more robust predictor of teacher-rated emotion regulation and parent reported effortful control. Compared with KEI and AKT, the EMT correlated similarly with verbal ability and age.     

涉非法吸收公众存款案件中的合同效力问题研究

涉非法吸收公众存款犯罪的民事案件主要是民间借贷案件。借款合同与保证合同的效力认定问题,超出了民法的阈限,触及到刑法评价与民法评价的关系这一根本,成了困扰民事审判的一大难题。对此,理论上与实践中存在两种针锋相对的方法论立场,即刑主民附论与刑民分离论。然而,这两种立场都有失偏颇。只有消除立场上的偏颇,才能将合同效力认定纳入正确的轨道。吸收资金不应被认定为违法所得,不应适用追缴或责令退赔。如此,由于追缴与责令退赔的适用所引发的刑民间评价矛盾及其对效力认定造成的干扰,才能被彻底消除。非法吸收公众存款犯罪是行政犯,合同违法性评价,应以《商业银行法》第11条第二款规定为根据。从规制对象来看,作为准入规制的《商业银行法》第11条,并不意在规制合同行为;依法益权衡而言,认定合同有效也并不阻碍该条规制目的之实现。因此,《商业银行法》第11条并非《合同法》第52条第（五）项意义上的强制性规定。对该条的违反,不应成为认定合同无效的理由。     

无领导小组讨论的评分者效应分析

以大学生为研究对象,实施无领导小组讨论测评,探讨培训组与非培训组评分者的信效度差异。通过相关分析、验证性因素分析等方法检验评分者的内部一致性、评分者间信度、组间与组内差异、结构效度及效标关联效度。结果显示,培训效应对评分者影响显著,经培训与未经培训的评分者组间差异显著,培训组评分结果的效标关联效度优于非培训组。对评分者进行系统的培训能有效促进客观公正地实施测评,提高测评结果准确性。     

基于央行效用动态最优化模型的货币政策传导有效性研究

从央行效用最大化的角度出发,运用极大值原理,构建央行效用的动态最优化模型,探讨货币政策传导中的经济主体行为对其传导有效性的影响。结果发现：第一,货币政策传导的时间长短,直接取决于商业银行对货币政策信号的敏感度大小。第二,当实行扩张的货币政策时,商业银行对货币政策的反应比企业和居民更重要;相反当实行紧缩的货币政策时,企业和居民对货币政策的反应比商业银行更重要。优化商业银行、企业、居民三大经济主体行为,能够有效提高其对货币政策信号的敏感程度,进而提高货币政策传导有效性。     

HIV/AIDS: Measuring an Evolving Virus

Many social work journal articles portray HIV as a chronic illness. Although HIV medical management has evolved, it is far from chronic for most of the world. With such rapid developments in the field of HIV/AIDS, this article examines validity of knowledge measurements developed pre-HAART. Further, what place does validity hold in the maintenance of these measurement devices? The authors review several widely used measurement scales utilized in developed nations—The Beliefs About Preventing AIDS, The HIV Knowledge Questionnaire, and The International IADS Questionnaire-English Version—to answer these questions and to promote understanding for social workers in the field of HIV/AIDS regarding validity of the instruments.     

Ethnic monitoring in higher education: Some reflections on methodology

Ethnic Monitoring in higher education has been limited and piecemeal. It often fails to explore the relationships between ethnicity and student progress and achievement, and to account for any ethnic inequalities revealed. In this paper an approach to ethnic monitoring that utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods is discussed. We argue that such an approach gives a clear statistical picture of group progress and achievement, identifies social, economic and institutional factors that might account for ethnic inequalities, and highlights the processes of racism and discrimination in higher education. All of these aspects are vital to a thorough understanding of ethnic inequalities in the higher education sector in the United Kingdom.     

Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire: A Review of Reliability and Validity

Increasing interest in measuring parenting styles, especially with the Parenting Style and Dimensions Questionnaire, has emerged in the last 17 years. However, a critical review of studies using this instrument to assess parenting styles has not been done. The present article proposes an extensive review of studies that applied the instrument, focusing in particular on the different uses of the scale, its psychometric properties, and its association with other constructs. A discussion about the applicability, measurement reliability and validity of the instrument is provided.     

Assessment of the Refined Aging Semantic Differential: Recommendations for Enhancing Validity

The US population is aging. Traditional perspectives have emphasized that a substantial increase in the number of gerontological social workers is needed to care for this population. However, published evidence demonstrates that, along with population growth, economic and social factors must be taken into account before predicting future gerontological social work demand. Structural lag theory is introduced to explain how these factors affect the profession and may limit its presence in gerontological work settings. Recommendations are made to correct the lag, allowing the social work profession a more substantive voice in the aging enterprise.
