Affirming the “S” in HBSE Through the Socio-Cultural Discourses of Lev Vygotsky,Barbara Myerhoff,Jerome Bruner,and Ken Gergen

Owing largely to the pioneering spirit of Sigmund Freud, social work's understanding of human behavior and development has supported individualist discourses that essentialize the self. Socio-cultural discourses present alternatives that strengthen the intentions of many social workers when they invoke the concept of human behavior in the social environment. In particular, Lev Vygotsky, Barbara Myerhoff, Jerome Bruner, and Ken Gergen offer compelling and salient accounts for genuinely regarding human behavior as embedded, even constituted by, social environments.     

Caregiver Emotional Expressiveness,Child Emotion Regulation,and Child Behavior Problems among Head Start Families

The present study examined the relationships between caregivers' self‐reported positive and negative emotional expressiveness, observer assessments of children's emotion regulation, and teachers' reports of children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors in a sample of 97 primarily African American and Hispanic Head Start families. Results indicated that higher caregiver negativity and lower child emotion regulation independently predicted more internalizing behavior problems in children. Additionally, children's externalizing behavior problems were negatively predicted by caregivers' self‐reports of positive emotional expressiveness. Importantly, results also suggested that caregivers' emotional expressiveness and children's behavioral problems may be non‐linearly related, and that child gender may play an important moderating role. These results emphasize the importance of family emotional climate and child emotion regulation in the behavioral development of preschool‐age children, and highlight the need for improved theoretical and practical understanding of socioemotional development in diverse populations.     

从洋务派官僚自身素质透视洋务运动的破产

洋务派官僚奉行的中体西用理论纲领,说明他们缺乏对西方国家近代化发展规律的认识,对新式企业采取官督商办企业经营方式,说明他们并不具备兴办资本主义工商业所必需的经营管理知识,为特定企业采取借款缓息、减免税厘、提供专利特权等措施,说明他们并不具备举办资本主义工商业所必需的经济学知识。洋务运动的破产固然有诸多客观原因,但也与洋务派官僚思想观念和知识结构等方面存在着的诸多缺失密切相关。     

理性习惯偏好与居民消费行为

 经济体制改革以来，随着经济的持续快速增长中国城镇居民已经习惯于生活水平不断提高。在这样的环境中，如果一个家庭当年消费的数量和上一年相同，其幸福感就会打折扣；另一方面，消费还具有外部性，如果与他人相比自己的消费水平降低了，消费者的效用也会受到损失。因此，理性消费者的决策目标是保持消费长期稳定增长而不仅仅是消费在各个时期的均匀分配。利用1978-2008年中国26个省（直辖市）的城镇住户调查数据得到的实证分析结果显示：消费者的习惯偏好与制度环境有关。受传统计划体制影响，1990前中国城镇居民的习惯偏好具有明显的“短视”特征。1990-2008年的估计结果则支持了理性习惯形成假设。即内部习惯形成导致了边际消费倾向明显下降，并且消费攀比是理性的。     

论"官督"对近代早期工业企业治理的影响

近代工业企业"官督"行为是影响企业治理的重要因素.晚清政府通过对企业经营项目审批权、人事任免权和账目稽查权的控制,对近代企业治理施加了正反两方面的影响.政府在为近代企业发展提供多种政策便利的同时,也造成企业产权关系模糊和法人地位的丧失,因而不仅影响了近代企业治理成效,也要为中国失去早期工业化的宝贵时机承担责任.     

略论国家公务员的政治行为规范与职业道德行为规范

国家公务员的政治行为规范和职业道德行为规范是国家意志的体现。公务员的政治行为规范保持长期稳定 ,而职业道德行为规范则随着时代的发展而有所变化 ;对公务员的政治行为和职业道德行为必须采取多种方式加以规范。国家公务员的政治行为规范和职业道德行为规范内容广泛 ,而且在不同性质的国家之间这些行为规范的内容也存在着很大的区别。我国公务员的政治行为规范和职业道德行为规范的建设刚刚起步 ,我们必须不断地作出努力 ,才能更好地贯彻“以法治国”和“以德治国”的根本方略。     

降价表述方式与消费者感知的降价幅度和购买意愿

降价的表述方式通常有相对于原价的百分比降幅和绝对减让幅度两种.本研究分析了这两种降价表述方式对消费者感知的降价幅度和购买意愿的影响,结果表明:在不同的产品价格水平和降价幅度下,这两种降价表述方式对感知降价幅度的影响是不同的.此外,对低价格产品,消费者对价格信息关注的程度会影响他们感知两种降价表述方式下的降价幅度.

Analysis of Pre and Posttest Gender Differences in Family Satisfaction of Divorce Mediation Couples

To determine if divorcing spouses experience the family reorganization process through mediation differently, we tested divorcing couples before and after child custody/visitatior mediation, using the Family Satisfaction scale. The pretest family satisfaction scores of husbands as a group were significantly lower than those of the wives (p = .004), but significantly improved after mediation (p = .005). The family satisfaction of wives as a group did not change. Within-couple differences in family satisfaction did not change for either spousal group before and after mediation, an indication that an improvement in the family satisfaction of the husband is not necessarily at the expense of the wife.
