Life Satisfaction,Self-Esteem,and Loneliness Among LGB Adults and Heterosexual Adults in China

ABSTRACT

Low levels of life satisfaction have been linked to low self-esteem and loneliness, but this association has never been tested directly in LGB (lesbian/gay/bisexual) populations. We compared 275 Chinese LGB adults to 275 demographic-matched Chinese heterosexual controls on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and loneliness. LGB adults reported lower levels of self-esteem and higher levels of loneliness than heterosexuals, but similar levels of overall life satisfaction. Self-esteem partially mediated (but did not moderate) the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction in both groups. Hierarchical regressions indicated that demographic variables, loneliness, and self-esteem can predict life satisfaction in both LGB and heterosexual adults, but explained more variance of life satisfaction in the LGB group. Thus self-esteem and loneliness play a more important role in life satisfaction for LGB rather than heterosexual Chinese adults.     

哈贝马斯批判理论的修辞性研究

哈贝马斯(Habermas)是当代西方具有影响力的批判理论家,其对修辞学的贡献在于将归属于批判理论的交往重要性进行理论化。他对各种形式的公共性的历史叙述,尤其是18世纪的公共领域的叙述,以及他对交往行为理论的阐述,构成了他对20世纪修辞学理论所作的贡献。本文拟从修辞学的角度探讨哈贝马斯的批判理论,以便从一个全新的视角对他的理论进行解读。     

Measuring Children's Experience of Their Right to Participate in School and Community: A Rights‐Based Approach

This paper discusses the development of a children's rights‐based measure of participation and the findings from its use in a survey of 10‐ to 11‐year‐old children (n = 3773). The measure, which was developed in collaboration with a group of children, had a high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89). Findings suggest that children's positive experience of their participation rights is higher in school than in community, and higher for girls compared to boys. It is argued that involving children in the ‘measurement’ of their own lives has the potential to generate more authentic data on children's lived experiences.     

《手批尔雅义疏》同族词疏证七则

《手批尔雅义疏》是近代著名语源学家黄侃从事语源研究实践最重要的成果之一，其批语中系联了大量的同族词。经过系统梳理，并运用同类互证方法等加以验证，可以发现，“荎：挃”、“殻：螯”、“睔：棆”、“憋：鷩”、“跳：狣”、“串：贯：毋”、“讹：化”等还没有被现当代学者证实的同族词确实存在同源关系。     

Assessing emotional and social health using photographs: An innovative research method for rural studies and its applicability in a care-farming program for youth

A framework for assessing photographs for the emotional and social health of young people (SHAPE) is described and tested, within the context of a rural program. Two independent raters assessed the photographs of participants. To assess inter-rater reliability, Cohen’ K and Kendall’s W were calculated. The two reviewers’ assessments of photographs were in agreement. The assessment of emotional/behavioural display showed 82% agreement. Agreement between reviewers’ judgements of proxemics (W = .866), interaction (W = .722), engagement (W = .932) and overall impression (W = .804) were all significant (p < .005). The method yielded results indicating that participants found gardening immediately engaging but their approach to equines exhibited a change from fascination to confidence during the program. The visual-diary method is a useful and sensitive method for research: where resources are limited; to complement traditional measures; for use with people who lack appropriate verbal communication or literacy skills to complete questionnaires; young children; other underrepresented groups.     

王夫之《张子正蒙》诠释方法论初探?

与北宋中期以来包括二程、朱熹在内的许多儒家学者的有关看法相比较，王夫之关于《正蒙》的文本观念，是全面的、深刻的，有着一定的独到性、创造性和科学性。正是从这种文本观念出发，王夫之建构起富有创造性的四种诠释方法论：语言诠释方法，体验诠释方法，类推诠释方法，贯通诠释方法。运用这些方法，王夫之务必要在程朱二子之外另辟蹊径，对于张载创立的“真孟子以后所未有也”的哲学理论大力阐发，在新的社会文化条件下予以重建，从而力图推进中国哲学的发展，挽回当世“人心之横流”！     

Making Professional Decisions in Research: Measurement and Key Predictors

The professional decision-making in research (PDR) measure was administered to 400 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded and industry-funded investigators, along with measures of cynicism, moral disengagement, compliance disengagement, impulsivity, work stressors, knowledge of responsible conduct of research (RCR), and socially desirable response tendencies. Negative associations were found for the PDR and measures of cynicism, moral disengagement, and compliance disengagement, while positive associations were found for the PDR and RCR knowledge and positive urgency, an impulsivity subscale. PDR scores were not related to socially desirable responding, or to measures of work stressors and the remaining impulsivity subscales. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, lower moral disengagement scores, higher RCR knowledge, and identifying the United States as one’s nation of origin emerged as key predictors of stronger performance on the PDR. The implications of these findings for understanding the measurement of decision-making in research and future directions for research and RCR education are discussed.     

谭恩美小说《接骨师之女》的国内研究综述

华裔作家谭恩美的小说《接骨师之女》一出版就引起了国内研究者的关注。从最近十年国内公开发表的论文看，不论是文章的数量，还是文章的质量都呈现出持续发展的态势，研究者从不同的角度对作品展开解读。但是，系统回顾小说《接》的国内研究现状，不难发现，当前对该作品的研究仍然存在不少的问题：如主题内容过于集中，研究视角狭窄且多重复，研究的深度有待提高等等。如果这些问题得到妥善解决，小说《接骨师之女》仍然具有较大的研究空间，其前景也令人期待。     

美学研究之当下论域与理论前景

近年来,我国的美学研究蓬勃发展,美学基本原理探讨成效显著,中外美学史梳理有条不紊,部门美学研究异彩纷呈,流派美学研究乐此不疲。其主要特征有五:一是参与者众,成果五花八门;二是师承关系明显,排异性强;三是教材各异,令人无所适从;四是思辨者多,实验取证者少,归纳总结者多,创新者少;五是学位论文俨然成为新见主产地。研究方法主要有哲学思辨法、心理还原法以及语义分析、经验主义、社会学、历史学、系统论等。不足之处即为缺乏理论创新,鲜有大师级人物出现,故此未来之研究应以创新为第一要务,力求把深奥难懂的美学理论阐发得通俗易懂。     

高校学生党员答辩机制的创新研究

在高校学生党员培养全过程中建立并完善答辩制度,对于进一步提高学生党员综合素质、加强基层党组织建设、增强高校学生党员发展工作的科学性和和公信度均具有重要意义。完善层次分明、以人为本、与时俱进的答辩内容,是提高学生党员教育、培养、考察和监督实效的关键。应从完善答辩程序、建立分层培养、突出过程评价、加大监督力度这四个方面对高校学生党员答辩机制加以创新研究,不断推进高校学生党建工作。
