Dual modes of ‘Good will hunting’: Untangling the reputation and relationship correlations en route to foreign amity

The present study theorizes ways in which foreign publics’ different relationship building patterns are associated with the reputation of a host country and with the outcomes of those patterns, which yield positive behavioral intentions. The study first distinguished the reputational relationship group (i.e., those who lack firsthand experience with the host country) from the behavioral relationship group (i.e., those who have firsthand experience with the host country). Next, it further conceptualized and tested the structural paths that theoretically illustrate how reputation is built across these two different groups of foreign publics. Model testing results suggested that the two groups fit well with the respective models. The results imply that the puzzle of relationship’s and reputation’s causal influences on the formation of future behavior can be solved using differentiated communication strategies. An understanding of these two distinct processing models provides a new foundation for theory building in public relations and public diplomacy, as well as new ground for strategic relationship management with foreign publics.     

临床教学中医学生的医患关系意识的培养

医学生作为未来的医疗工作者,不仅要具备良好的专业技能,还需要具备较高的医患沟通能力来处理医患关系。这是减少医疗纠纷,构建和谐社会的重要内容之一。传统教学没有意识到医学生的发展环境,从而忽略了医患关系意识与沟通能力的培养。这就使得很多医学生在进入实践环节后,存在不同的问题。临床教学是理论与实践的衔接环节,也是医学生学习和成长的核心阶段。在这个过程中,加强对医学生沟通能力的培养,是临床教学的基本内容。唯有加强临床教学中医学生的医患关系认知,才能够从根本上让其重视医患关系对医疗工作开展的重要性。而在目前,对于临床教学中医学生的医患关系意识培养还存在缺失。笔者结合医学生的医患关系意识的内涵进行阐述,就其重要性加以明确,并且就临床应当如何开展医患关系意识教学进行探讨,以期望能够为临床教学提供帮助。     

“We thought it would be easy”: recruitment challenges,successes and best practices for low-income couple populations

Recruitment challenges present ongoing struggles for social science professionals. Especially problematic are recruiting endeavors when target populations are highly stressed, highly mobile, and are comprised of couples rather than individuals. Included in this study is a rationale supporting the need to study recruitment challenges coupled with a literature review discussing recent recruitment research summaries. Based upon a Delphi-type discussion with couples relationship education (CRE) experts, our team constructed a qualitative study to examine recruitment challenges in low-income CRE programs. Fourteen interviews were conducted with “successful” program leaders identified by federal regional managers within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Data were analyzed, and results detailing four main “challenge” themes, four “success” themes, and a seven-step best practice model are presented.     

Structural Relationship Analysis Among Variables of Mentoring Network Characteristics,Mentoring Functions,and the Working Attitudes of North Korean Defectors

This study was conducted with a purpose to examine the structural relationship among mentoring network characteristics, mentoring functions, and the work attitudes of North Korean defectors. One hundred twenty-one North Korean defectors participated in the study, who were involved in settlement programs in Seoul, Korea. Amos 20.0 and SPSS 21.0. were used for statistical analysis. According to the developmental network theory, mentoring network characteristics include: network range, number of networks, and network intimacy. Mentoring functions include: career function, role function, and psychosocial function. The results are as follows. Mentoring network characteristics have a positive (+) effect on mentoring functions (β?=?0.267, C.R.?=?2.329, p?<?.05) and mentoring functions have a positive (+) effect on work attitude (β?=?0.703, C.R.?=?6.748, p?<?.001). Mentoring characteristics also have an indirect effect on work attitude through mentoring functions (β?=?0.188). The results of this study implicate the need for expanding mentoring networks and developing mentoring functions for North Korean defectors in both formal and informal social network areas.     

事业单位分类改革与政事关系重塑

政事关系是影响事业单位改革的核心要素。政事关系经历了20世纪80年代中期的准社会化趋向和新世纪的管办分离的艰辛探索。这个过程推动了政事关系逐渐从高度合一走向政事分开。分类改革的探索将从政府职能转变、事业单位自身的体制机制创新和公共服务体系完善等方面对政事关系施加双重影响。为此。重构“分开＋互补型”的关系模式是分类改革以后政事关系的理想模型。     

The Role of Pre‐ and Postconception Relationships for First‐Time Parents

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, a nationally representative cohort of young adults, the authors analyzed relationship type at the time of a first birth (N = 4,044). More than 10% of births were to a postconception cohabiting household (cohabitations that were initiated between conception and birth), a higher proportion of births than those born to postconception married households. Individuals in postconception and preconception cohabiting relationships (cohabitations that existed prior to conception) were demographically similar; both groups were associated with lower levels of socioeconomic advantage relative to those in preconception and postconception marriage. Postconception and preconception cohabiting relationships were associated with similar levels of dissolution, as 40% dissolved within 3 years of a child's birth. Having a marital union, rather than whether relationship was established pre‐ or postconception, was more strongly associated with who selected into the relationship and how long the relationship lasted.     

Spousal Network Overlap as a Basis for Spousal Support

The role social network structure plays in facilitating flows of support between spouses is often overlooked. This study examined whether levels of support between spouses depended on the degree of overlap between spouses' networks. Network overlap may enhance spouses' support capacities by increasing their understanding of each other's support needs and their ability to coordinate support for each other. Data on 1,490 married older adults from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project were examined. Analyses revealed that when one's spouse had more contact with one's other network members, one was more likely to (a) view the spouse as a reliable source of support, (b) open up to the spouse, and (c) discuss health issues with the spouse. These results suggest that spousal support is not only a function of relationship quality or obligations-it also is a structural phenomenon that depends on spouses' connectedness to each other's networks.     

论环境污染治理PPP机制的法律关系

环境污染治理向来被视为公关部门的独角戏,排斥私人资本的参与。但当前公共部门在环境污染治理中出现了资金不足、资金利用率低下等问题,引入ppp机制成为解决这些问题的有效选择之一。研究环境污染治理PPP机制应以我国现行法律法规为依据,以PPP机制的原理以及环境污染治理的特殊性为基础。处于PPP机制支配地位的是特许经营合同,其本质上是公法关系。环境污染治理PPP机制法律关系的内容涉及公共部门的权责、公共部门与私人投资主体之间的风险分担以及社会公众在该机制中的参与。     

Advancing relationship management theory: Mapping the continuum of relationship types

Building on the literature of relationship management, this study explores the way organization type influences the nature of the organization–public relationship. Three types of organization–public relationship were examined (nonprofit organization–volunteer, retailer–consumer, and political party–member) and which were mapped to Hung's (2005) continuum of relationships, ranging from communal to exploitive. Four dimensions of the relationship were examined: trust, control mutuality, satisfaction, and commitment. Surveys were completed by 313 respondents to measure their relationships with all three organizational types. Significant differences were detected between organizations which were deemed high, medium and low in communality. Results provide insight into the role that communality plays in levels of relationship quality in the organization–public relationship.
