宋明地方志与南昌地区许逊信仰的变迁

在今江西南昌地区许逊信仰的历史变迁中,道教内外人士都对许逊形象进行过多重塑造,使其兼具道教与民间祠神的色彩。其间,除了《道藏》材料,宋明地方志起到独特作用。一方面,宋明方志在与许逊相关记载方面表现出的序列变化,与唐宋以来道教人士对许逊形象的重塑以及宋元净明道的发展同步;另一方面,由于唐宋时期的《图经》成为地方神祇进入祀典、走向合法化的重要载体,地方志又以儒家传统经典为收纳祠神的标准,这些影响到了明代南昌地区许逊形象的转变。通过明代地方志的再次塑造,许逊从一位斩蛟水神、道教真君、净明道祖师进而演变为一位符合儒家祭祀经典要求、有功于地方社会的福主,进入地方祀典。     

口头叙事与村落信仰的互构——基于冀南两村白猫黑狗传说的田野考察

新时期以来,学界关于传说的研究逐步从文献资料的梳理和类型学的分析转向在田野语境中进行考察,关注传说与民众生活、地方历史的关联,呈现出一种"民俗文化整体观"的研究范式。流传于冀南广宗县刘家庄、夏家庄的白猫黑狗传说,便应置放于两村相邻但老死不相往来的特殊村际关系中加以理解。这一传说是以两村庙宇的兴修改建及相关阐释为工具,以村民对现实功利的考量为依据而不断建构而成,最终成为比较稳定的村落传统。     

Towards congruence between teachers’ intentions and practice in intercultural education

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between teacher beliefs pertaining to cultural diversity and their actual teaching activities. Using a model-based approach, this study looks at beliefs regarding diversity issues at both the theoretical and empirical levels. At the theoretical level, we attempt to systematise the many meanings of ‘beliefs’ found in the literature. At the empirical level, we examine the link between theory, beliefs, and teaching activities relating to diversity, using integrated analysis tools. To accomplish this, we used a qualitative methodological approach to examine the relationship between theory and practice in education. The sample consisted of 45 in-service primary teachers. The first results showed a gap between what teachers tend to say and what they actually do. We argue that future research needs to focus on the effects of teacher beliefs on teacher practice, with special attention devoted to the reflective process.     

Development and validation of the Protective Gambling Beliefs Scale (PGBS)

This article aimed to develop and validate a measure of protective beliefs – distinct from the absence of erroneous beliefs – that may be associated with resistance to gambling problems. Study 1 was designed to determine the reliability and content validity of a preliminary set of protective belief items. Participants (N = 1479, 813 males) also completed the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Most items were associated with reduced risk of problems; however, items relating to an awareness of gambling harm, and preparedness to lose money were positively correlated with gambling problems and were therefore not demonstrably protective. Study 2 sought to reduce scale size and assess the scale’s ability to predict risk of gambling problems. Participants (N = 1168, 625 males) completed belief items, the PGSI, and measures of gambling consumption and cognitive distortions. Results showed that endorsement of protective beliefs was negatively correlated with PGSI, gambling consumption and cognitive distortions, and predicted PGSI above that of cognitive distortions. Findings suggest that the Protective Gambling Beliefs Scale (PGBS) offers a unique tool for understanding resistance to the development of gambling problems. Future research should focus on exploring whether protective beliefs can diminish the likelihood of the onset of problem gambling.     

Measuring Christian Beliefs that Affect Managerial Decision-Making: A Beginning

Although considerable work has been done on the measurement of religious values and beliefs, little is understood about their effect on managerial values and decision making. This paper reports on theoretical work by the authors identifying Christian religious beliefs that might affect managerial decision making; it also reports the results of empirical work validating five scales of religious beliefs that might affect managerial decision making. Future research directions are proposed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
