新传媒,新世界: 网络时代的哲学反思

新传媒正在从时空观念、经济组织形式和社会结构等方面全方位地形成一个新世界,这个新世界是一个以互联网为社会深层结构的开放世界,它的地平线已经显现。作为新世界的网络世界,有其自身的逻辑,但离不开人类的积极参与。新世界在方法论上,更倾向于归纳逻辑、认知逻辑和论辩理论。新世界的出现使人们对资本主义何时灭亡、人的主体地位等问题产生更多的开放性思考。     

Estimation of the smallest scale parameter of two-parameter exponential distributions

Improved point and interval estimation of the smallest scale parameter of n independent populations following two-parameter exponential distributions are studied. The model is formulated in such a way that allows for treating the estimation of the smallest scale parameter as a problem of estimating an unrestricted scale parameter in the presence of a nuisance parameter. The classes of improved point and interval estimators are enriched with Stein-type, Brewster and Zidek-type, Maruyama-type and Strawderman-type improved estimators under both quadratic and entropy losses, whereas using as a criterion the coverage probability, with Stein-type, Brewster and Zidek-type, and Maruyama-type improved intervals. The sampling framework considered incorporates important life-testing schemes such as i.i.d. sampling, type-II censoring, progressive type-II censoring, adaptive progressive type-II censoring, and record values.     

Eye-tracking methodology: exploring the processing of question formats in web surveys

In social research, the use of agree/disagree (A/D) questions is a popular method for measuring attitudes. Research has shown that A/D questions require complex cognitive processing and are susceptible to response bias. Thus, some researchers recommend the use of item-specific (IS) questions. This study examines the processing of A/D and IS questions, using eye-tracking methodology. By recording respondents’ eye movements, how respondents process survey questions can be evaluated. The results reveal that IS questions cause more and longer fixations. However, this only applies to the response categories. There are no differences regarding the question stems. Altogether, it seems that IS response categories trigger deeper cognitive processing than A/D response categories.     

Indigenous data,indigenous methodologies and indigenous data sovereignty

The field of Indigenous methodologies has grown strongly since Tuhiwai Smith’s 1999 groundbreaking book Decolonizing Indigenous Methodologies. For the most part however, there has been a marked absence of quantitative methodologies with the methods aligned with Indigenous methodologies predominantly qualitative. This article proposes that the absence of an Indigenous presence from Indigenous data production has resulted in an overwhelming statistical narrative of deficit for dispossessed Indigenous peoples around the globe. Using the theoretical concept of Indigenous Lifeworlds this article builds on the core premises of Walter and Andersen’s 2013 book Indigenous quantitative methodologies. Arguing for a fundamental disturbance of the Western logics of statistical data the article details recent developments in the field including the emergence of the Indigenous Data Sovereignty movement. The article also explores Indigenous quantitative methodologies in practice using the case study of a Tribal Epidemiology Centre in New Mexico.     

思想史视野中的质性研究:以方法意涵的构建为例

本文尝试从思想史视角反思质性研究方法,以揭示被结构视角遮蔽的研究过程,从而探讨一种直面内心的反思性社会科学研究方式。思想史视角强调回到文本去阐释书写者赋予研究方法以意涵的思想过程。本文以“推论”“充分必要性”与“意义”等三种方法论立场中的方法意涵构建过程为例展现这样的思想过程：方法论如何引导了对特定研究方法的选择;当方法论与现实情况存在差距时,书写者如何在原有方法论立场中发展对质性方法新的理解以捍卫方法论的合理性;书写者如何在强调与其他立场的区分中发展对方法的理解。本文由此揭示了看似相同的方法背后所蕴含的巨大意涵和实践差异。一种围绕“意涵”展开的方法知识系统将有可能被建立起来。思想史视角为反思性的质性方法知识构建提供了可以付诸实践的路径。     

把握科学发展观的方法论原则

科学发展观的人本取向原则要求把“发展为了人民”作为发展的价值目标,把“发展依靠人民”作为重要的工作路线和工作方法,把“发展成果由人民共享”作为判断发展成败的根本标准。科学发展观的动态均衡原则要求要处理好“以人为本”与以经济建设为中心、全面发展与重点发展、协调发展与优先发展、可持续发展与当前发展等重大关系问题。科学发展观的适度原则要求人们要有适度的情感表达和物质欲求,人口与经济的增长要适度,社会各阶层都要具有适度的利益表达渠道。     

方法论意义上的《中国之欧洲》--兼及比较诗学研究的一种启示

艾田蒲（ Rene Etiemble）的比较文化巨著《中国之欧洲》具有独特的方法论体系。在语言层面上，这部著作表现出形象性与思辨性的高度统一；逻辑层面上则以归谬法的使用为特色；论述策略上忠实体现了作者提出的“比较诗学”的特性---历史考证与审美思考的结合；结构层面上则倾向于“起-承-转-合”的完整运思。这一独特的方法论体系或许可以为比较诗学的研究提供一种启示：既然从意识层面入手解决各类“中心主义”、民族主义困难重重，从学理层面进行的辨析又常常陷入曲高和寡的窘境，那么，以方法的运作清除偏见所赖以滋生的土壤，或许可以为我们带来一种真正清醒、公正而又不失美感的比较诗学。     

Toward Father‐friendly Parenting Interventions: A Qualitative Study

Levels of father participation in parenting interventions are often very low, yet little is known about the factors which influence father engagement. We aimed to qualitatively explore perceived barriers to, and preferences for, parenting interventions in a community sample of fathers. Forty‐one fathers across nine focus groups were interviewed using a semi‐structured interview. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Key barriers to father participation identified included: the perception that interventions are mother‐focused; beliefs about gender roles regarding parenting and help‐seeking; mothers’ role as ‘gatekeeper’; lack of knowledge and awareness of parenting interventions; and lack of relevance of interventions. Fathers reported preferences for specific content and intervention features, facilitator characteristics, practical factors, and highlighted the need for father‐targeted recruitment and advertising. Many of the barriers and preferences identified are consistent with previous research; however, fathers’ beliefs and attitudes around gender roles and help‐seeking, as well as the perception that interventions are predominantly mother‐focused, may be key barriers for community fathers. Strategies to overcome these barriers and better meet the needs of fathers in promoting and delivering parenting interventions are discussed.     

外语教学法及其在大学公共俄语教学中的应用
