美国华裔流散写作中的身份焦虑

美国华裔作家作为全球流散群体中的一支,游离于故国与所居住国文化之间,以边缘人的双重视角去审视中美两种文化,思考并实践着文化的变迁、融合和生长。他们的写作无一例外地探讨了在强势异地流散者的文化身份危机、文化身份重构及人类整体文化的命运和走势等问题。因此,我们可以基于后殖民理论,从流散批评的视角出发,来探讨美国华裔写作中流散者的身份焦虑。

如何在课堂上帮助学生克服外语学习焦虑的心理障碍

外语学习过程是信息加工过程,学习成绩的好坏受诸多主客观因素的影响,如个人的认知差异、智力差异、年龄、兴趣、学习动机等等。但除了这些因素外,学习者的个人情感因素对外语学习的影响越来越受到学者的关注。积极情绪、情感的参与会产生良好的教学效果,相反,消极的情感如焦虑、抑制、沮丧、怀疑等会影响学习潜力的正常发挥。     

中国非英语专业大学生的外语听力焦虑研究及其对听力教学的启示

焦虑是影响语言学习的重要情感因素之一,本研究考查了中国非英语专业大学生的外语听力焦虑情况,以及听力焦虑对听力水平的影响作用。结果显示由英语听力焦虑、自我信念和英语听力技能三因子组成的听力焦虑在大学生中普遍存在,其中总体焦虑水平、自我信念及听力技能达到高焦虑水平;高、低焦虑水平的受试组在听力成绩上均呈现出显著差异,焦虑三因子及总体听力焦虑都与听力水平呈现不同程度的显著负相关;受试对听力水平及整体语言能力的自我评价都对听力焦虑产生了显著负面效应。文章最后对听力教学提出了相关建议。     

叛离与建构——林语堂的身份之旅

林语堂对自身的文化“身份”始终处于一种焦虑的状态之中,这源自于一个中国基督徒的宗教信仰与中国文化之间的矛盾。他曾自称“异教徒”,力图通过回归传统文化来寻觅归属感,但无论是基督教还是传统文化都无力单独为林语堂构筑起一个精神家园。他只能游走于东西文化之间,称自己是“半东半西”、“亦耶亦孔”,对于“身份”的寻觅最终使他承担起沟通两个世界的使命。      

Does Contact Matter?: The Relative Importance of Contact in Predicting Anti-Gay Prejudice in Jamaica

ABSTRACT

Jamaica has been called one of the world’s most anti-gay countries. However, little empirical research has investigated methods of reducing this prejudice. Intergroup contact—(positive) interaction with someone from a different social group—is one of the most widely tested and strongly favored methods of reducing prejudice. However, the role of contact in this specific context is not clear, particularly the relative importance of contact compared to other variables that predict (less) prejudice. This current cross-sectional research investigated that question using a large, representative sample of Jamaican participants (N = 942). As in prior research, contact predicted less anti-gay prejudice, and the (negative) relationship between contact and anti-gay behaviors was mediated by intergroup anxiety and attitudes, even when other important predictors were taken into account. However, contact was a less important predictor than gender, education, or religiosity. Implications for intergroup contact and prejudice-reduction strategies in Jamaica are discussed.     

The Unintended Effects of Risk‐Refuting Information on Anxiety

Researchers in the field of risk perception have been asking why people are more worried about risk today than in years past. This article explores one possible answer to this question, associative anxiety. The affect heuristic and the mental network models suggest that anxiety triggered by information regarding a particular risk can spread to other risks of the same category. Research to date, however, has not examined how information refuting the particular risk can also be generalized across other risks. The article presents two experimental studies addressing this issue. Study 1 showed that when participants were presented with information based on a real train collision, they experienced increased anxiety not only about train collisions but also about public transportation in general. In contrast, those who were informed about the train collision case as well as the preventative measures implemented after the accident experienced decreased anxiety about train collisions but not about public transportation more generally. Study 2 measured the changes in participant anxiety about a genetically modified organism (GMO) and compared the influence of information about either the existence or nonexistence of its risk. Similar to Study 1, associative anxiety rippled through the risk category. The results also suggest that the follow‐up information refuting the GMO risk reduced the anxiety toward the hazard drastically, but did not fully alleviate the anxiety toward other hazards in the category. The implications and the limitations of these studies are also discussed.

考试焦虑、成就动机和CET-4考试成绩关系研究

采用问卷调查法对75名CET-4考生进行调查的结果表明：大部分学生的CET-4考试焦虑状况远远高于一般学生,其力求成功的趋向越强烈,考试焦虑就越低;而避免失败的趋向越强烈,考试焦虑就越高。考试成绩与成就动机高低有关,考试焦虑是CET-4考试成绩的显著预测变量;一般女生的焦虑状态高于男生,并与CET-4考试成绩正相关。
