模式活动对4-5岁儿童模式能力和数能力影响的干预研究

为考察模式活动对4-5岁儿童模式能力和数能力发展的影响,选取某幼儿园中班（4-5岁）儿童60名,随机分为模式1组（n=20）,模式2组（n=20）和对照组（n=20）。实验1组和实验2组接受6周教育活动干预,每周1次集体教学活动、1次区域活动、1次日常小游戏。对实验1组、2组和对照组进行干预前后的模式能力和数能力测试,结果发现实验1组、2组在组别主效应上有统计学意义（p<0.001）,模式教育活动干预后数能力得分高于基线（p<0.001）。模式活动能有效促进4-5岁儿童模式能力和数能力的发展。     

A Mixed Methods Exploration of Single Session Family Therapy in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Tasmania,Australia

Single session therapy (SST) is grounded in the belief that clients and families can effect change after one therapeutic encounter, using their own resources, with brief support and assistance from therapists. SST has been found to be an effective intervention for children, young people, and their families presenting with a wide range of difficulties. Research in child and adolescent mental health has shown that over 50% of families find one SST encounter is enough with no need for further specialist input. This study aims to explore family member experiences of SST (undertaken as single session family therapy and termed hereafter SSFT) as an initial intervention in a regional child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS), specifically in terms of worry, confidence, and satisfaction outcomes. An exploratory, mixed methods convergent design was utilised using a combination of open questions and Thurstone scales. All eligible family members were invited to complete questionnaires before and after the SSFT, asking about level of worry, confidence, and overall satisfaction with SSFT. Quantitative and qualitative findings indicated most family members had a positive experience of SSFT, although differences were found between young people, parents, and siblings. Overall, family members’ level of worry decreased, while only parental confidence in managing the presenting issue(s) increased. Over half of the families did not require further contact with CAMHS following the SSFT. Our findings support previous research that SSFT is an effective, family-inclusive, and well received intervention for a variety of mental health issues facing children and young people. SSFT could be considered a beneficial and well received first response for the majority of CAMHS clients, which prioritises a family-inclusive approach. Future research could focus on attaining a more in-depth understanding of individual family member experiences with a view to improving SST delivery.     

Video Game Use as a Tool for Assessing and Intervening with Identity Formation and Social Development in Family Therapy

Because video games are becoming such an integral part of our culture, modern family therapists are more likely than ever to encounter families with members who play them. It is easy to overlook video game use in terms of its potential as a therapeutic tool, particularly if a therapist possesses only limited knowledge of the medium. Using existing literature and my experience as a lifelong gamer, I provide family therapists with a background of the major video game genres and explain how video games can aid in the assessment of factors such as identity formation and social development. I also provide a systemic case example, recommendations for practice, and a table for quick reference to highlight potential videogame‐based family therapy interventions.     

There are two sides to every story: young people’s perspectives of relationship issues on social media and adult responses

This paper reports on a recent research project undertaken in the UK that investigated how young people negotiate their identities and relationships online, including how they experience interventions by adults. Drawing on qualitative interviews with young people in two schools and a voluntary youth organisation in England, we argue that young people engage rather successfully in practices of self-governance. Our findings based on this sample of young people’s agentic practice and care for their peers challenge some dominant perceptions of young people’s online practices as risky and/or harmful to themselves and/or others. Furthermore we found a lack of evidence concerning the effectiveness of, and need for, interventions orientated around surveillance and zero tolerance.     

The rise (and fall?) of a state land bank

Land markets in most poor cities do not work very effectively and contribute to making social housing unaffordable. One once popular response was to set up a public land bank. In truth, few such banks were terribly successful and, with the onset of neo-liberalism, the approach fell out of fashion. However, one government recently established a state land bank in an attempt to slow the growth of illegal settlement and to improve housing conditions for the poor. Bogotá's efforts have had some measure of success although the agency could never achieve the ambitious goals set for it. The paper describes the different approaches of the agency over the last decade, the problems that it has faced and what it has managed to achieve. Today, the agency no longer buys land and prefers to work in association with private landowners; in effect, Bogotá no longer has a state land bank. However, what it does have is an interesting set of tools with which to confront land speculation and to discourage owners from holding on to serviced land. Whether this set of tools will be able to confront the perennial problem of providing land for affordable social housing remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Bogotá provides many lessons for governments in poorer cities about how and why they should take measures to improve the working of the land market.     

惩防腐败的心理学思考

腐败是一颗社会毒瘤。任何腐败分子从有所作为到渐进蜕变和最后堕落犯罪,经历了从认知扭曲到内在自我迷失再到外在腐败行为的转化三个心理阶段,贯穿了既相对独立更递增强化的三大心理机制。腐败的心理防治,在于寻找腐败防控对个体心理的干预点,既要体现不同阶段各有侧重点,又要体现心理的整体性,实现有机统一,从而有效防治腐败。     

青少年网络依赖的成因及干预策略

当前我国有5％～10％的青少年过度使用网络,形成网络依赖心理。网络依赖主要是一种心理依赖,比一般的上瘾现象有着更为复杂的心理成因和独特的特点。青少年形成网络依赖,有家庭、学校、青少年个人和网络本身等原因,因此青少年网络依赖干预模式应是多样化的、个别的、具体的,对青少年网络依赖的干预应是多层面的、多层次的、整体的。     

Sexual Health Interventions for Black Women in the United States: A Systematic Review of Literature

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify and evaluate approaches used in sexual health interventions targeting Black women in the United States. Methods: We conducted a review of 15 sexual health intervention studies for Black women published between January 2000 and May 2017 in the United States. Results: Each intervention focused on HIV/sexually transmitted infection prevention, incorporated an asset and deficit-based approach, primarily used individual-level assets, and was effective in achieving the stated sexual health-related outcomes. Conclusions: Comprehensive sexual health interventions require further development and refinement to include more community and institutional-level assets to improve long-term sustainable change and empower Black women.     

The value and rationale of gender‐specific intervention with at‐risk adolescent girls

Gender‐specific intervention (GSI) with at‐risk adolescent girls (ARAGs) is highly prevalent in Israel and elsewhere; professionals commonly consider GSI to be beneficial for ARAGs. However, despite the popularity of such programmes, there is little empirical support for their effectiveness and almost no critical examination of their theoretical rationale. The aim of this qualitative, naturalistic study was to explore how experienced professionals in this domain perceive the value and rationale of GSI with ARAGs, based on in‐depth, semistructured interviews with 15 female Israeli professionals. All of the interviewees claimed that overall, GSI is the “right” or most effective way to work with ARAGs. The discussion reviews the empirical support for participants' assumptions regarding the value of GSI for ARAGs and critically considers the potential drawbacks of GSI with ARAGs.     

Understanding intervention through multiplicity: protection politics in South Sudan

ABSTRACT

The margins of international order remain understudied in International Relations. This article engages with the concept of multiplicity proposed by Justin Rosenberg by tracing the mechanisms of multiplicity in justifications for intervention in South Sudan. First, I examine the potential of multiplicity and argue for the importance of maintaining an openness to the concept. Second, I apply the mechanisms of multiplicity to understand UN intervention in South Sudan. In particular, I highlight how relationships between sovereignty and intervention in South Sudan coexist, combine, and interact. Once implemented, policies echo multiple logics, but also produce new and hybrid forms of authority with significant consequences for future sovereignty politics in South Sudan and beyond.
