SPECIAL ISSUE： ONLINE LITERATURE IN CHINA： PRESENT SITUATION AND THEORETICAL REFLECTIONS Preservation and Innovation in Online Literature： A Brief Discussion

网络文学文本主要由传统文本和超文本组成。隐含“超文本性”的传统文本是网络文学的根基;而超文本作为网络世界最为流行的表意媒介,它以“比特”之名唤醒了沉睡于传统文本的开放性、自主性、互动性等潜在活力与灵性,代表着网络文学发展的方向。超文本以去中心和不确定的非线性“在线写读”方式解构传统、颠覆本质,在与后现代主义的相互唱和中,改变了文学的生存环境和存在方式。更重要的是,日益走向超文本的网络文学文本正在悄然改写我们关于文学与审美的思维方式和价值标准。因此,网络文学如何在持守传统的同时坚持创新,便成了一个值得我们深长思之的重要问题。

边疆民族地区网络舆情危机中的社会怨恨情绪研究

社会怨恨是在社会转型中一种带有攻击性和反社会性的负面情绪体验,其爆发主要经历了触发、发酵、扩散及带来不可预期后果等阶段。在边疆民族地区社会转型过程中,部分民众可能因利益结构、权利结构、权力结构及信息结构的失衡将主观体验到的被剥夺感、被歧视感、不公平感以及生存性焦虑感等转化为社会怨恨情绪,并通过网络等新媒体进行非制度性表达,酿成网络舆情危机。因此,边疆民族地区各级政府应高度重视这部分民众的社会怨恨情绪,畅通利益表达机制,理性回应他们的诉求,切实维护社会公平正义,从而维护边疆民族地区的社会稳定。     

Beyond liking or following: Understanding public engagement on social networking sites in China

Corporate pages on social networking sites (SNSs) have become the key platform where publics interact with companies and organizations around the world. Focusing on one of the most important world economies, China, this study explored the types of public engagement with corporate pages on leading Chinese SNSs as well as the motivations and antecedents that drive such engagement. Given the participatory and communal nature of SNSs, this study proposed a conceptual model incorporating social media dependency and several social relationship factors, including parasocial interaction, perceived source credibility, and community identification, that influenced Chinese publics’ engagement with companies on SNSs. We conducted a web survey with a random sample of 245 Chinese SNS users to test the proposed model. The results confirm that with the exception of perceived credibility, social media usage and relationship-oriented factors played a significant role in inducing public engagement in China.

A Preliminary Comparison Study of Online and Face-to-Face Counseling: Client Perceptions of Three Factors

This preliminary study examined the similarities and differences between online and face-to-face counseling with regard to general mental health, working alliance, and social presence. Participants included 50 current counseling clients (37 face-to-face, 13 online) who all were recruited through online mediums. Results indicated that online counseling clients perceived a significantly stronger working alliance on the total Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form as well as the Goal subscale than did those who received face-to-face only counseling. No significant differences existed between the groups on general mental health or social presence. These results suggest that a more controlled study with a larger sample might find that a strong working alliance can be developed through online counseling.

Utilization of Advice from Face-to-Face and Internet-Mediated Advisors

Advice is increasingly sought and shared online, but advisory professionals debate the utility of such methods. Variations in recipients' perceptions of elements of traditional face-to-face (FTF) advice and Internet-mediated (IM) advice may influence its utilization. The present research investigated whether communication format (FTF vs. IM) and an advisor's level of expertise influence perceptions and utilization of advice. Participants played 30 rounds of a prisoner's dilemma game after receiving advice about the best strategy. There was a significant tendency for advice to be followed, but the advice format and advisor expertise had no significant influence on advice utilization and only minor influences on self-reported perceptions of the advice and the advisor. This has worrying implications, and could indicate a lack of critical awareness of advisors' expertise when deciding whether to follow advice or not. Implications for the professional advice field and further research possibilities are discussed.
