广东农村成人教育发展研究

要增强农村的发展后劲,必须正视和提高人力资本存量,最快捷的办法是发展农村成人教育;广东农村成人教育发展现状喜忧参半,不能适应广东农村经济发展的要求。在分析制约广东农村成人教育发展因素的基础上,提出更新观念、城乡统等、创新教育的发展措施。     

关于民事诉讼法教学改革的思考

高等教育改革的重点在于培养学生的创新能力,而民事诉讼法教学的现状已不能满足高教改革的需要,缺陷非常明显。展望未来,民事诉讼法教学应立足于向学生传授交叉学科的知识、鼓励学生创造性地参与教学、加强学生实践能力的培养及丰富教学手段等多个方面,力求加大民事诉讼法教学改革力度,实现既定的教学目标。     

国际非政府组织国际法律地位的国际造法尝试评析

从二十世纪初期国际非政府组织在国际舞台上活跃以来,国际社会积极致力于解决其在国际法上的地位这一重要问题,近百年来起草了13份有关国际非政府组织国际法律地位的公约或决议草案。这13份公约草案到底有何异同？其各自失败的原因是什么？这些国际造法尝试此起彼伏、前仆后继的历程对我们今天制定和发展相应的国际规范有哪些参考借鉴？本文将以这13份正式成文的公约或决议草案为线索,对其主要内容和特点进行述评,来尝试回答上述问题。文章分为三部分,第一部分对13份国际公约草案的出台背景及讨论、通过情况进行简要概述;第二部分重点分析其主要内容及特点;第三部分则对其成败教训进行总结,并试图提出一些值得今后参考借鉴的经验。     

社会网络与城乡居民的身心健康

本文根据大型抽样社会调查的数据,集中讨论了个人的社会网络对其精神健康和身体健康的影响,以及这种影响在城乡居民之间的差异。研究结果发现,个人的社会网络规模对身心健康均起着积极作用：紧密度高、异质性低、强关系多的“核心网络”对精神健康有积极影响,而相反特征的松散网络则对身体健康更有利,个人在网络中的相对地位对精神健康起着积极作用。此外,社会网络对健康的作用在农村地区表现得更为明显。作者还进一步讨论了这些研究发现的理论与政策意义。     

新媒介形态与新尺度——“媒介分析理论”的宏大观照

“媒介分析理论”一反内容分析的惯常套路,注重研究媒介形态自身对社会的影响,特别是与社会变迁之间的关系,提供了考察社会的另一种角度。本文以这一理论卓有建树的四位学者,即英尼斯、麦克卢汉、利文森和梅罗维茨为分析对象,探查媒介分析理论的独创性,以引起人们对这种研究方法的重视,推进对这一理论的深入研究。

A longitudinal perspective on the differentiated valuation of formal education in Brazil in recent decades

The central theme of this article is the relationship between formal education and earnings from a longitudinal perspective, taking into account indicators of social status. Variations in the respective trajectories, in different age cohorts, and in the comparison among different periods are discussed. The empirical material used is based on the microdata files of official statistics. The main techniques put into practice are those that are most focused on measuring the degree of interdependence among variables and those used for means comparison. Our general hypothesis is that the effects of schooling cannot be grasped in terms of education itself but instead in terms of its relationship to status in the social and power structures. One of this paper's principal observations is that of the general declining trend in the economic value of formal education, which varies depending on the level of education and social status. This devaluation is systematic and spans the entire studied universe; however, it focuses much more closely on those of lower social status, particularly for the groups with schooling that is either higher or lower than average.     

What's the Matter with Kansas? Now It's the High White Death Rate

This article reports empirical tests for an explanation of the anomalous finding that Case and Deaton recently identified. They found that middle‐aged white people were dying at increased rates during the 1998–2013 years. By contrast, the Hispanic and African Americans enjoyed lower rates. The explanation proposed here for this deviant trend is that the middle‐aged whites are especially vulnerable to the stress of “white status loss” as measured by the decline in the county white population. Using data for the 105 Kansas counties, the analysis replicates the divergent mortality trends and shows that white population decline predicts the rising mortality rate for the middle‐aged segment of the population. This explanation opens the door to a new branch of public health, one based on social problems, not pathogens. 1     

The status and factions theory of influence

We review a relatively new theoretical research program on the joint effects of status and the distribution of opinions on social influence. The status and factions theory of influence combines sociological insights about status generalization with psychological research on how the distribution of opinions promotes social influence. To date, several published studies support the logic of the theory, including how the effect of status varies with the distribution of opinions and the intervening theoretical mechanism. The former has been replicated a number of times, but only one study to date has truly tested the mechanism. Uncertainty reduction has been found to explain some of the joint effects of status and the distribution of opinions on social influence, but there is room for improvement. Consequently, after we discuss the existing literature, we identify additional mechanisms that may be worth pursuing in the future and also some applications of the theory's utility.
