宗教旅游者的需求动机与偏好——以关公信仰者为例

关公信仰在中国文化中有着重要影响,文章应用经济学理论,对关公信仰者需求两要素进行解析,指出关公信仰需求中购买能力是次要因素,购买愿望是主要因素,探讨了关公信仰消费者偏好形成的主要原因,归纳出关公信仰者普遍认同的基本心理预期;研究了关公信仰者的需求动机以及关公精神内涵与马斯洛五个需求层次之间的对应关系;最后将消费者均衡理论和影子价格概念应用于研究关公信仰消费者均衡,分析关公信仰消费者均衡实现过程中影响均衡的各种状况.用经济学需求理论解释关公信仰者的行为动机,有助于把握关公文化旅游市场的消费者行为内在规律,充分挖掘关公文化旅游的市场价值.     

明代通俗文学的商业化编刊与世俗宗教生活——以邓志谟“神魔小说”为中心的探讨

"宗教生活"是世俗生活中最重要的内容之一,它不仅在通俗文学中有着极为深广的展现,同时其所蕴含的社会一般信仰也赖于通俗文学予以传播、抟合与催化。明代中后期"神魔小说"的兴盛特别是其商业化编刊,是与当时社会一般宗教生活对通俗文学的深层需求紧密相关的。雇佣写手邓志谟编创、建阳书坊翠庆堂刊刻的三部神魔小说,正是一个典型的例证。     

“心理理论”与情绪、推理的关系辨析

根据康德哲学的思想，心理机能被分成内向机能和外向机能。根据这个理论，“心理理论”是属于内向机能，推理则属于外向机能。因此，在推理的框架下来定义心理理论是行不通的。又因为心理理论的反应是情绪性的，而错误信念任务的反应是认知性的，所以，用错误信念任务来检测心理理论的发展水平是无效的。对心理理论的实验研究应该使用情绪反应作为因变量。

伊斯兰教义学及其在中国的传承系统

伊斯兰教义学的传承系统,一般指学科主体知识体系的形成脉络和传承者空间上的联络序列。但后者只是对前者的背景映衬,其主体仍然是传承系统的知识构架与传承方式恪守的原则。中国伊斯兰教义学在特殊的时空人文背景下由穆斯林承接和建构的伊斯兰教义学知识系统,使正统伊斯兰信仰文化在汉藏语境中配置为"认主独一"的伊斯兰认主学。     

蒙古神话与佛教神话比较研究

蒙古神话与佛教神话以及信仰佛教的一些国家和民族神话的比较研究是蒙古神话研究的重要课题。本文从比较研究的可能性、比较研究的领域、比较研究的方法以及比较研究资料、比较研究的目的和意义等四个方面去设计论证了该课题。     

中东恐怖主义和国际反恐合作现状

中东是当今世界受恐怖主义威胁最严重的地区之一。该地区传统安全问题与非传统安全相结合，恐怖主义问题与国家主权、民族冲突和宗教矛盾等纠缠在一起，虽然各国都在反恐，但成果非常有限。只有促进经济合作，增加中东国家在经济上的相互依赖，将人们的关注点从宗教、民族和政治事务转移到经济议题上来，才有可能建立一个较完备的地区反恐合作机制。     

Reinventing religious land as urban open space: The case of kuang in Chiang Mai (Thailand)

Urban open spaces are highly valued for their contribution to the quality of life in the cities [Tenkel (1963). Cities and space: The future use of urban land. Baltimore:Johns Hopkins Press; Burgess, Harrison and Limb (1998). Urban Studies, 25, 455–473; Madanipour (1999). Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 26, 879–891]. Third world cities, for example, Chiang Mai (Thailand), are no exception with regard to the role of urban open space in achieving such a goal [Tantayanusorn (2003). Unpublished doctoral thesis. Melbourne:Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology]. However, the provision of urban open space as a social public facility is coming low in priority in comparison to other market-demanded facilities in the form of roads, car parks, clean water, electricity and the like. Such a fact was corroborated by a study conceived by Thailand's Social Research Institute (1996) which reveals that 73% of Chiang Mai population wanted more public open space.This paper aims at exploring the revitalization of existing traditional open spaces (kuang)—which is usually categorized as ‘religious land’, hence it is a religious property—in Chiang Mai as an intermediate strategy in providing the much needed public open space. In doing so, the physical and cultural characteristics of kuang have to be elaborated, while at the same time the local aspirations on urban open space were canvassed. The combined analysis of those two inquiries resulted in a proposal of kuang wat—a variance of kuang—utilization as an agent of urban open space provision in the project of achieving quality of urban life in Thai city of Chiang Mai.     

Foundations of the theory of evidence: Resolving conflict among schemata

Schematic conflict occurs when evidence is interpreted in different ways (for example, by different people, who have learned to approach the given evidence with different schemata). Such conflicts are resolved either by weighting some schemata more heavily than others, or by finding common-ground inferences for several schemata, or by a combination of these two processes. Belief functions, interpreted as representations of evidence strength, provide a natural model for weighting schemata, and can be utilized in several distinct ways to compute common-ground inferences. In two examples, different computations seem to be required for reasonable common-ground inference. In the first, competing scientific theories produce distinct, logically independent inferences based on the same data. In this example, the simple product of the competing belief functions is a plausible evaluation of common ground. In the second example (sensitivity analysis), the conflict is among alternative statistical assumptions. Here, a product of belief functions will not do, but the upper envelope of normalized likelihood functions provides a reasonable definition of common ground. Different inference contexts thus seem to require different methods of conflict resolution. A class of such methods is described, and one characteristic property of this class is proved.     

Belief functions and statistical inference

The Dempster Shafer theory of belief functions is a method of quantifying uncertainty that generalizes probability theory. We review the theory of belief functions in the context of statistical inference. We mainly focus on a particular belief function based on the likelihood function and its application to problems with partial prior information. We also consider connections to upper and lower probabilities and Bayesian robustness.
