Association Fellows' Luncheon Address: Maintaining Purpose in a Changing Environment

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the motivational factors and the barriers to physical activity (PA) in traditional college students (TS) and nontraditional college students (NTS) and determine if differences exist between these 2 groups. Participants: A total of 746 college students; 628 were TS (19.1 ± 1.2 years), and 118 were NTS (31.2 ± 8.6 years). Methods: In fall 2010, students voluntarily completed a demographic questionnaire, Barriers to Being Active Quiz, and Exercise Motivations Inventory–2 (EMI-2). Results: EMI-2 revealed that TS and NTS differed on 8 of the 14 motivational factors for exercise. There was a significant difference between TS and NTS for the following barriers: fear of injury (p = .001), lack of resources (p = .017), and lack of skill (p = .003). Conclusion: Based on these findings, interventions can be developed for the varied needs of a diverse student population as it pertains to PA participation.     

《穆天子传》小说性质辨析

迄今为止，《穆天子传》的撰者、成书年代、文本性质等，均可谓学术疑案。从叙事动机出发，依据战国初期前后相关文献的巨大差异，可以认同此书源出赵国后嗣对祖先的追崇。《穆天子传》体式近似起居注，风格却呈现恍惚无征之态，它既非信史著作，亦非上古神话抑或次神话之类。基于社会风尚和读学心理来审视，穆王故实在虚实相生中形成的小说境界，曾一度受到战国末期神仙思维、汉晋时世造仙运动先后影响，最终在历史误读中造就了后人所谓的神话品格。     

仇视、狂热与压力——中古欧洲十字军反犹动机解析

关于十字军的反犹动机问题,学界观点纷呈。在各种观点中,基督教的反犹主义意识是主导因素,它推动了长达百年的反犹活动持续发生,而当时狂热浓厚的宗教氛围则为反犹暴行提供了合适＂土壤＂,商品经济所带来的巨大压力则成为了反犹的突破口。诸多因素综合作用遂导致反犹活动频繁上演。     

How People Perceive and Will Cope with Risks from the Diffusion of Ubiquitous Information and Communication Technologies

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly pervasive and continue to reshape our environment. This trend carries different risks. Therefore, the early sensitization of people to these risks, as well as improving their capacity for protective coping behavior, is essential. Based on the protection motivation theory (PMT), we examined with structural equation modeling the relationships between different components of threat and coping appraisal to explain protective and nonprotective responses. Calculations were performed with data from a representative survey on perception and use of ICT among German residents (N= 5,030). Our findings largely supported the proposed model: an increased perceived threat was positively related to the intentions to react protectively and nonprotectively. Perceived coping efficacy increased the protective and decreased the nonprotective responses. Negative affect enhanced the perceived threat and the nonprotective response, but inhibited protective intentions. The implications of these findings on how to sensitize people to the risks of these new technologies are outlined.     

英语习语在新闻标题中的临时变体

英语习语的临时变体广泛应用于新闻标题语篇。通过分析大量的新闻标题,研究习语临时变体在新闻标题语篇中的语义功能和美学功能,探讨新闻标题语篇中英语习语的临时变体类型,将之划分为语义返朴变体、词汇替代变体和句法结构变体,并结合认知语言学比喻优先理论、概念整合理论和多义推导理论对3种变体类型分别进行理据分析。

表扬与内在动机关系的新观点

有些理论研究表明表扬对内在动机有促进作用;而另一些理论则证明了表扬对内在动机有损害作用。JenniferHenderlong和MarkR.Lepper引入了五个概念变量(conceptualvariables)对这两种理论进行了整合与提升,指出自主性、归因方式、自我效能感、真诚性、行为标准和期望是影响表扬效果的重要因素。这些都能够促进对本领域未来研究方向的思考。
