非语言交际在跨文化交际中的作用

在跨文化交际中 ,除了语言行为之外 ,非语言行为也发挥着相当重要的作用 ,而且具有很强的文化特征。     

Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Children’s Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire (CKAQ-RIII) in Greek Elementary School Children

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to culturally adapt and validate the Children’s Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire-RIII (CKAQ-RIII), a tool that examines children’s understanding of sexual abuse concepts, for use in Greek elementary schools. A sample of 467 Greek school children between the ages of 6–9 was recruited from a private school. The CKAQ-RIII was administrated three times, before and immediately after a Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) prevention intervention program, as well as during a one-year follow-up evaluation. A subsample of the original population (N = 113) completed the one year follow up administration of CKAQ-RIII, along with the Body Awareness (BA) and the Emotional Differentiation (ED) subscales of the Emotion Awareness Questionnaire (EAQ). Internal consistency was high for the inappropriate touch scale (ITS) of the CKAQ-RIII and moderate for the appropriate touch subscale (ATS). Inter-item analysis showed that the majority of items were in an acceptable range. Pearson correlation coefficients analyses revealed strong associations between the two subscales of ITS and ATS, and the overall scores of the questionnaire. A mixed-subjects analysis of variance on the ITS showed an increase in knowledge post intervention, with third graders (8–9 year olds) generally scoring higher at baseline and demonstrating greater knowledge gains post intervention. A mixed-subjects analysis of variance was also conducted for the ATS where no significant increase in knowledge was found. Furthermore, analysis revealed a good concurrent criterion validity with good levels of agreement between CKAQ-RIII and ED, whereas no relationship was established between CKAQ-RIII and BA.     

图式理论与跨文化交际

图式是由一般或抽象知识组成的一种知识框架、计划或脚本。在跨文化交际中,针对同一交际场景,不同文化群体的人的心理图式具有文化特有性。图式理论和跨文化交际有一定的相关性;在跨文化交际中,调整和构建具体交际场景的心理图式和行动脚本是十分重要的;有效地进行心理图式调整和构建,对跨文化交际能力提高有重要意义。     

佛教在中国历史上跨文化传播理念的思考

与自唐代开始传入我国的基督教相比较而言 ,佛教在中国的跨文化传播无疑是成功的。同是外来的宗教文化 ,佛教成了与儒、道相并列的中国封建社会上层建筑的一个组成部分 ,波及古代中国的政治、经济领域 ,广泛渗入到中国社会生活的各个方面 ,而基督教则一直徘徊在中国文化的主流之外 ,虽然中间经过一些传教士观念转变后的努力 ,也有过平和而短暂的文化过渡 ,但最终还是没有为中国传统文化接纳和吸收 ,究其实质 ,佛教在跨文化传播中所采取的正确传播理念使它获得了最后的成功。     

语言的交际能力与文化因素差异

阐述了语言是文化的载体,并指出在跨文化交际过程中,能否进行有效的交流,不仅取决于对语言本身的掌握及熟练程度,还取决于对语言背后的社会文化因素的了解。交际能力是由语言能力和社会文化能力组成的。在外语教学中,要注意分析学生由于文化因素干扰而造成的言语错误,提高学生对文化的敏感性和社会文化能力。     

Cross-Cultural Differences in Risk Perception: A Model-Based Approach

The present study assessed cross-cultural differences in the perception of financial risks. Students at large universities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and the U.S., as well as a group of Taiwanese security analysts rated the riskiness of a set of monetary lotteries. Risk judgments differed with nationality, but not with occupation (students vs. security analysts) and were modeled by the Conjoint Expected Risk (CER) model.⁽¹⁾ Consistent with cultural differences in country uncertainty avoidance,⁽²⁾ CER model parameters of respondents from the two Western countries differed from those of respondents from the two countries with Chinese cultural roots: The risk judgments of respondents from Hong Kong and Taiwan were more sensitive to the magnitude of potential losses and less mitigated by the probability of positive outcomes.     

The Effects of Australian Tall Poppy Attitudes on American Value Based Leadership Theory

A survey study of twenty-two Australian CEOs and their subordinates assessed relationships between Australian leader motives, Australian value based leader behaviour, subordinate tall poppy attitudes and subordinate commitment, effectiveness, motivation and satisfaction (CEMS). On the whole, the results showed general support for value based leadership processes. Subsequent regression analyses of the second main component of Value Based Leadership Theory, value based leader behaviour, revealed that the collectivistic, inspirational, integrity and visionary behaviour sub-scales of the construct were positively related with subordinate CEMS. Although the hypothesis that subordinate tall poppy attitudes would moderate value based leadership processes was not clearly supported, subsequent regression analyses found that subordinate tall poppy attitudes were negatively related with perceptions of value based leader behaviour and CEMS. These findings suggest complex relationships between the three constructs, and the proposed model for the Australian context is accordingly amended. Overall, the research supports the need to consider cultural-specific attitudes in management development.

小学语文词语抄写增值探索

词语抄写是小学语文学科的常规作业。然而，在实际教学中，由于作业形式、要求与评价的单一性，学生常以应付心理机械地完成作业，难以达到预期效果。本文以生本理念为指导，以运用为主线，尊重学生的差异性，将词语抄写与及时巩固、反馈结合起来，强化理解运用，关注学生的情感体验，使词语抄写作业获得字形增值、语用增值、情感增值，从而实现词语抄写作业价值的最大化。
