Temperament moderates the effects of early deprivation on infant attention

Institutional care has been shown to increase the risk of attention problems in children, but some children are more sensitive to their environment, both for better and for worse. With this in mind, the current study examined the moderating role of temperament (falling reactivity) between early adversity and attention skills. Six- to 15-month-old infants residing in institutions (n = 63) and infants reared by their biological families from low socioeconomic environments (n = 59) were recruited. The infants’ attention skills were measured by calculating the length of time they spent looking at toys. The infants’ temperaments were measured by a subscale of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (falling reactivity/rate of recovery from distress). The findings were in line with the differential susceptibility theory. Compared to infants with high levels of falling reactivity, infants with lower levels of falling reactivity had better attention skills if they were in a family group, but they had lower attention skills if they were residing in institutions. The attention skills of the infants who had higher scores for falling reactivity did not appear to be affected by the adverse environment.     

社会群体多维剥夺感模型及应用

相对剥夺感研究对于构建和谐社会具有重要的理论和现实意义。本文首先综述分析了社会个体单维剥夺感模型(SISDM)、社会个体多维剥夺感模型(SIMDM)和社会群体单维剥夺感模型(SGSDM)等社会剥夺感研究领域的三大模型;然后,本文在Betti和Verma提出的社会个体多维剥夺感模型以及Elena和Lius等人提出的社会群体单维剥夺感模型基础上,建立了综合考虑横向和纵向剥夺感的社会群体多维剥夺感模型。最后,本文通过实证表明,新模型能够客观全面地反映社会群体的实际状况,可以为和谐社会建设提供客观的决策依据。     

马克思恩格斯封建学说方法论与普适性

马克思恩格斯的社会形态学说有其特殊的方法论,表现在其特殊的结构演化及历史环境决定论方法.这一点说明了马克思恩格斯的社会形态学说整体上是不存在对立与矛盾的.或者更具体地说就是:是不存在所谓线性演化与多元异途演化的对立的.马克思恩格斯的封建学说有着不同的层次与结构,既有特殊的、对西欧社会经济形态的实证研究,也有更一般的、从整个人类社会经济形态演化的角度进行的论述.就后者而言,是有其普遍适应性的.对于马克思恩格斯的社会经济形态学说及封建学说的方法论及其不同层次与结构我们必须全面把握.

French Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes): Similarities and Differences With Occupy Movements

The Yellow Vests movement in France was the most widespread and violent protest movement France has seen since 1968. This research highlights the resemblances and dissimilarities between the Yellow Vests and other Occupy movements. We find similarities in movement origins around suddenly revealed economic issues and relative deprivation. We also find that the Yellow Vests resemble other Occupy movements in terms of a combined strategy of a diffused and countrywide occupation of public spaces alongside weekly mass protest, and a lack of central organization and rejection of leadership. The Yellow Vests, however, differ from other Occupy movements in the extreme violence of the weekly demonstrations. Despite its rejection by the media, violence did not affect widespread public approval. In addition, the Yellow Vests achieved most movement objectives in spite of the lack of effective leadership with whom politicians could negotiate.     

Explaining religiosity: towards a unified theoretical model1

The article presents a unified theoretical model, explaining differences in Christian and ‘alternative’ religiosity at individual and collective levels. The model reconstructs and integrates the most important theories explaining religiosity (deprivation, regulation, socialization, cultural production, and ethnicity) as complementary causal mechanisms in a rational‐action based framework. It is maintained that the mechanisms of the various theories are not exclusive, but complementary, and that integration into the general model is both theoretically and empirically beneficial. The model is tested on representative data from Switzerland. Substantively, I find for the Swiss case that Christian religiosity can be best explained by a religious socialization mechanism. The most important mechanisms accounting for alternative religiosity involve deprivation, gender, and age.

Measurement invariance matters: A case made for the ORTOFIN

In this paper, it is argued that the measurements of an underlying, latent variable cannot straightforwardly be used in group comparisons without testing whether the measurements relate to the latent variable in the same way for all groups. The procedure for testing this is discussed and is illustrated by assessing measurement invariance across groups with a different socio-economic status (SES) for the ORTOFIN, a scale measuring an individuals’ orientation toward finances [Loix, E., Pepermans, R., Mentens, C., Goedee, M., & Jegers, M. (2005). Orientation toward finances: Development of a measurement scale. The Journal of Behavioral Finance, 6, 192–201]. The results show that one factor of the ORTOFIN, i.e. ‘‘financial information”, is invariant across SES groups while ‘‘personal financial planning” lacks measurement invariance. Implications of these results are discussed.     

相对剥夺对农村劳动力迁移的影响

利用CGSS2010农村调查数据,通过建立二元logistic计量模型分析了收入剥夺、支出剥夺、住房剥夺、预期收入剥夺、情感剥夺五个剥夺因素对我国农村劳动力迁移的影响。研究结果表明,家庭总收入和家庭住房剥夺对农村劳动力迁移具有显著地促进作用;预期收入剥夺则对农村劳动力迁移起显著地抑制作用。影响农村劳动力迁移的其他因素中,性别、年龄、健康和所处地区对农村劳动力迁移都有显著影响：农村男性劳动力比女性劳动力更倾向于迁移;年龄的增长则不利于劳动力迁移;健康对农村劳动力迁移有正向促进作用;和东北部地区相比,东部地区的迁移行为更加普遍。     

宋代赎刑制度考述

文章从宋律(<宋刑统>)对唐律(<唐律疏议>)内容紧密承袭的事实出发,通盘论述赎刑制度自宋代以来的演变,揭示了赎刑作为一种官僚的法律特权在宋代所呈现出的日渐下移的趋势,同时就夷俗与汉法在宋代边疆地区的冲突,给赎刑制度以应有的历史评价.
