Neighborhood Quality, Environmental Hazards, Personality Traits, and Resident Actions

A survey of 798 New Jersey residents examined relationships among residents' neighborhood activities, perceptions of neighborhood quality, trust of experts, support for rebuilding cities and equal rights, and degree of optimism. Neighborhood activities increased with lack of trust and optimism. These personality characteristic measures were folded into multidimensional constructs that included local environmental hazards, respondents' ratings of their previous neighborhoods, and some demographic variables. Pessimism and values that support equal rights and rebuilding cities were weakly associated with poor quality neighborhood ratings.

试论以人为本的教育价值观

在我国教育工作中贯彻落实科学发展观,前提和先导是树立以人为本的教育价值观。以人为本价值观直接来源于马克思主义关于人的全面发展学说,历史渊源可追溯到我国古代的民本思想和西方的人本主义思想。以人为本教育价值观的基本内涵,包括以人的现代化为本的教育发展观、以人的社会化为本的教育目的观、以师生为本的教育管理观。构建以人为本的教育制度,要建立以人为本的教育制度体系和以人为本的教育服务体系。

生态文明：和谐社会的第四乐章

党的十六大之后,我们在三个文明建设中取到了巨大的成就,特别是经济发展方面,持续创造着世界经济奇迹。但是,我们已经开始明显地感觉到生态环境对三个文明建设的制约,没有良好的生态环境,就没有健康和谐的社会生活,就无法构建各方面协调发展的和谐社会。人与自然和谐发展的生态文明,是和谐社会的基础和前提。把生态文明放在物质文明、精神文明、政治文明的同一序列,已经是大势所趋。"四个文明"缺一不可,只有"四个文明"建设好了,才能平稳地支撑起和谐社会的大厦。     

The Effect of Risk Beliefs on Property Values: A Case Study of a Hazardous Waste Site1

Health risk beliefs of homeowners near a landfill site were assessed in a survey and compared to expert judgments of the health risks of living near the site. A bimodal distribution of health risk beliefs suggested sharp disagreement between the experts and at least some of the residents. Correlates of high risk beliefs included perception of odor from the site, exposure to media coverage of the problem, having children living at home, age (younger respondents more concerned), and gender (females more concerned). An aggregated neighborhood health risk belief predicted reductions in home prices even after controlling for home physical characteristics, such as size and other disamenities such as proximity to a freeway. In the 4100 homes near the site, the estimated depression in property values was estimated to total about $40.2 million before the site was closed and to be about $19.7 million after closure. Implications of these results for community conflict and for benefit-cost analysis of hazard site remediation are discussed.     

Risk,Media, and Stigma at Rocky Flats

Public responses to nuclear technologies are often strongly negative. Events, such as accidents or evidence of unsafe conditions at nuclear facilities, receive extensive and dramatic coverage by the news media. These news stories affect public perceptions of nuclear risks and the geographic areas near nuclear facilities. One result of these perceptions, avoidance behavior, is a form of "technological stigma" that leads to losses in property values near nuclear facilities. The social amplification of risk is a conceptual framework that attempts to explain how stigma is created through media transmission of information about hazardous places and public perceptions and decisions. This paper examines stigma associated with the U.S. Department of Energy's Rocky Flats facility, a major production plant in the nation's nuclear weapons complex, located near Denver, Colorado. This study, based upon newspaper analyses and a survey of Denver area residents, finds that the social amplification theory provides a reasonable framework for understanding the events and public responses that took place in regard to Rocky Flats during a 6-year period, beginning with an FBI raid of the facility in 1989.     

地方性高校本科毕业生职业价值取向初探

职业价值取向作为个体评价和选择职业的标准,在很大程度上决定了个体的职业生涯发展。本研究选取地方性应届本科毕业生这个特殊的群体,对他们的职业价值取向进行探讨。通过问卷调查的方法对197名学生进行了调查,对部分同学进行深度访谈,通过spss分析,得出以下几个结论:(1)当代大学生选择职业时最看重的是经济取向,而且个体间差异很小;(2)不同专业性质的应届毕业生在职业价值观的劳保稳定维度差异显著;(3)与来自城市的毕业生相比,来自农村的毕业生更少考虑今后工作的地域取向。
