存疑与否定:美学的逻辑选择

从怀疑论的视界,从存疑和否定这一话语切入,人们可以对美学进行新思维的追寻.当今美学必须对以往的所有美学命题予以存疑,对传统美学的概念与方法予以悬搁;与此相关,必须对以往的美学理论予以否定逻辑的清理与消解,从而寻求自我的理论思路和诞生新精神话语.

ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF VISITS TO THE DOCTOR

The frequency of doctor consultations has direct consequences for health care budgets, yet little statistical analysis of the determinants of doctor visits has been reported. We consider the distribution of the number of visits to the doctor and, in particular, we model its dependence on a number of demographic factors. Examination of the Australian 1995 National Health Survey data reveals that generalized linear Poisson or negative binomial models are inadequate for modelling the mean as a function of covariates, because of excessive zero counts, and a mean‐variance relationship that varies enormously over covariate values. A negative binomial model is used, with parameter values estimated in subgroups according to the discrete combinations of the covariate values. Smoothing splines are then used to smooth and interpolate the parameter values. In effect the mean and the shape parameters are each modelled as (different) functions of gender, age and geographical factors. The estimated regressions for the mean have simple and intuitive interpretations. However, the dependence of the (negative binomial) shape parameter on the covariates is more difficult to interpret and is subject to influence by extreme observations. We illustrate the use of the model by estimating the distribution of the number of doctor consultations in the Statistical Local Area of Ryde, based on population numbers from the 1996 census.

Work hours and well-being: The roles of work-time control and work-family interference

This study focused on mediating and moderating processes underlying the relationship between work hours and well-being. Questionnaire data from 292 female employees in two UK public sector organizations were analysed. Drawing on effort-recovery theory and published empirical findings, it was hypothesized that work-family interference (WIF) would mediate the relationship between work hours and measures of well-being (psychological distress and family satisfaction), and that work-time control would moderate the association between work hours and WIF. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that, after controlling for demographic variables, neuroticism, and job demands, WIF mediated the effect of work hours on family satisfaction, although no evidence of mediation was found for the psychological distress outcome measure. Work-time control moderated the relationship between work hours and WIF; higher control buffered the effect of longer hours on WIF. These findings add to the literature on the role of WIF in the effort-recovery process by showing that longer work hours are not necessarily associated with higher work-family interference, and hence with poor recovery and impaired well-being. Instead, having a degree of control over work hours moderates the first link in this process. Thus, the provision by employers of some flexibility and control over work hours may help to reduce the potential negative impact of long work hours on employees.     

情感影响第二语言认知的心理分析

情感对第二语言认知过程和效果产生影响。根据Krashen的说法,这种影响发生在语言信息输入的环节上。然而第二语言认知是一个积极主动的建构过程。情感信息伴随着语言等信息进入学习者正在形成或业已形成的认知结构中,通过整合或阻滞新、旧信息在认知结构中的融合达到对第二语言认知的影响。
