Farm Business-Owning Couples: Interrelationships among Business Tensions,Relationship Conflict Quality,and Spousal Satisfaction

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among business tensions, relationship conflict quality, and satisfaction with spouse for 206 farm business-owning couples. The Sustainable Family Business Model and the Family FIRO (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation) model guided the path analysis. For both husbands and wives, locus of control was negatively related to business tensions; decision involvement discrepancy was positively related to relationship conflict quality; and business tensions were negatively related to relationship conflict quality. For husbands, relationship conflict quality was positively related to satisfaction with spouse; for wives, business tensions were negatively related to satisfaction with business-owning spouse.

Playing with conflict: a longitudinal study of varieties of spontaneous verbal conflict during mother-child interaction at home

Although conflict is central to major developmental theories, relatively little is known about the ways in which young children and caregivers argue at home. The existing psychological research focuses narrowly on serious, ‘problem-solving’ conflicts. In contrast, this in-depth longitudinal study describes varieties of spontaneous conflict talk occurring at home between nine middle-class Caucasian American mothers and their 2- to 4-year-old children. All dyads produced conflicts with nonse-rious, imaginary and/or ritual markings for a mean of 31% (± 2.8%) of all mother-child conflicts. Overall, most mother-child marked conflicts were nonserious, but the percentage of marked conflicts that were imaginary increased with age. Mothers used marked conflicts to manage ongoing problematic interactions with their children, while children apparently introduced marked conflicts primarily during play. Available data on child-child conflicts showed that some of these conflicts also were marked and were introduced primarily during play. Implications for how varieties of conflict may contribute to social competence within the family and peer group are discussed.

非理性社会舆论下司法正义的实现——由“夏俊峰案”引发的思考

"夏俊峰案"引发了大规模的非理性社会舆论。这既是传统法律制度与现代法治观念冲突所致,也与当前民众日益增强的维权意识和脆弱的司法权威有密切关系。非理性舆论作为社会舆论的一种,是公民言论自由的表达,在某种程度上能促使司法机关更加审慎的对待案件,保障司法公正;但亦存在着干扰司法独立、侵蚀司法权威等诸多消极影响。恪守司法独立理性审判、扩大审判的公开性保障民众知情权、加强判决的说理性以理服人、加强司法机关自身的建设是在非理性社会舆论环境下实现司法正义的必要措施。     

洛香村互助性侗族习惯法规范与刑法冲突问题调查与思考

黔东南苗族侗族自治州从江县洛香镇的洛香村位于贵州侗族最核心的聚居区域,当地侗族习惯法内容包含有互助性规范,即村寨内的所有成员都有维护村寨公共利益的义务,村寨内任何成员的合法权利受到侵害时所有成员都有帮助的义务。一些触犯刑法的群体性事件源自于侗族习惯法中的互助性规范内容。不与国家法严重冲突的互助性习惯法规范有其存在的价值。
