Purpose and life satisfaction during adolescence: the role of meaning in life,social support,and problematic digital use

This study examined the characteristics of youth with different types of purpose in life, as well as the associations between adolescents’ life satisfaction, purpose in life, meaning in life, social support, and problematic digital use. The sample included 193 participants aged 14–18 who completed self-report questionnaires on life satisfaction, purpose in life, meaning in life, social support, and problematic digital use. The following purpose in life clusters were found: (1) other-oriented goals (n?=?33); (2) self-oriented goals (n?=?42); and (3) both other- and self-oriented goals (n?=?107). Adolescents with both self- and other-oriented goals had significantly higher life satisfaction, meaning in life, and social support compared to the other groups. Meaning in life and greater support from parents and teachers were significantly associated with greater life satisfaction. In addition, having other-oriented goals was associated with lower life satisfaction. Finally, support from parents (p?=?0.05) mediated the association between problematic digital use and life satisfaction. Findings are discussed in light of previous research and the theoretical and practical implications are examined.     

Social policies and solidarity during the Greek Crisis

This article provides a succinct overview of the phenomenon of solidarization in crisis‐ridden Greece. Brief accounts of the pre‐ and post‐crisis situation in four core social policy areas (health, employment, housing, education) are combined with the presentation of four illustrative case studies, one for each of the aforementioned areas. Drawing on a broad range of primary and secondary data, including 20 in‐depth interviews with key stakeholders and end‐users of the actions examined, we argue that while the crisis provoked a further “residualization” of the institutionalized solidarity system, it also triggered the development of new solidarity ventures, both by state and non‐state actors, often even including partnerships between them. These ventures reflect the building of a bridge between institutionalized and informal solidarity in Greece and the shift towards a new type of mixed, although fragmented, mode of solidarity.     

Education,cognitive ability,and cause-specific mortality: A structural approach

Education is negatively associated with most major causes of death. Prior work ignores the premise that cause-specific hazards are interdependent and that both education and mortality depend on cognitive ability. We analyse Swedish men aged 18–63, focusing on months lost due to specific causes—which solves the interdependence problem—and use a structural model that accounts for confounding due to cognitive ability. In a standard Cox model controlling for Intelligence Quotient, improving education is associated with large decreases in mortality for major causes of death. In the structural model, improving education is associated with a small decrease in months lost for most causes and education levels. Among the least educated, however, improving education strongly reduces the months lost, mainly those lost from external causes, such as accidents and suicide. Results suggest that conventional analysis of education and mortality may be biased, even if accounting for observed cognition.

论康有为《大同书》中的素质教育思想

康有为在《大同书》中提出针对人口不同年龄阶段的身心特点施以不同的教育引导,将大同社会的教育分为前后衔接的五阶段;他提倡五育并重,德育为先。康有为的素质教育思想体现出人本主义和新伦理主义的色彩,具有深远的人口学和教育学意义,对于我们当前提倡的素质教育仍具有可资借鉴的时代价值。     

中国教育资源市场化与个体选择：初中课外补习效应异质性探究

本文在中国教育资源市场化的背景下,探究了初中课外补习对学业成绩的效应异质性及其对教育公平的启示。通过分析“中国教育追踪调查”（CEPS）的数据发现,从同质性效应来看,参加课外补习对于提升初中生学习成绩没有显著影响,但参与课外补习的倾向性影响其效应异质性。课外补习有助于提高倾向性处于中间水平学生的学习成绩,表明课外补习受益学生大多来自学习成绩中等的普通工薪家庭。对于倾向性较低的大多数相对弱势的家庭和倾向性较高的少数优势家庭而言,课外补习对学业成绩的作用微乎其微。研究表明,中国教育领域的市场化变革和相关政策的制定需要考虑个体教育选择的复杂性及其对教育公平所造成的深刻影响。

建构与拆解:新中国“四十年”文学的历史叙述

新中国以来的四十年文学,自始至终都对历史叙述保持着浓厚的兴趣。此间各个时期的文学对历史的叙述都不是在纯粹审美修辞的维面上展开的,它们分别肩负了不同的意识形态启蒙使命。"十七年文学"为巩固现实政权的合理/合法性提供了形象上的依据。新时期文学接续"十七年文学"的传统,以笔为枪,控诉和反思刚过去不久的民族劫乱,探索国家发展的前途。质疑过去文学赋予历史话语的崇高意义,新历史小说以解构的立场与姿态,通过具体的艺术实践,颠覆了历史话语的神话。新历史小说以消解"十七年文学"权威历史叙述为初衷,然而后来的种种迹象表明,它正沦为一种新的历史叙述霸权。     

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。
