Purpose and life satisfaction during adolescence: the role of meaning in life,social support,and problematic digital use

This study examined the characteristics of youth with different types of purpose in life, as well as the associations between adolescents’ life satisfaction, purpose in life, meaning in life, social support, and problematic digital use. The sample included 193 participants aged 14–18 who completed self-report questionnaires on life satisfaction, purpose in life, meaning in life, social support, and problematic digital use. The following purpose in life clusters were found: (1) other-oriented goals (n?=?33); (2) self-oriented goals (n?=?42); and (3) both other- and self-oriented goals (n?=?107). Adolescents with both self- and other-oriented goals had significantly higher life satisfaction, meaning in life, and social support compared to the other groups. Meaning in life and greater support from parents and teachers were significantly associated with greater life satisfaction. In addition, having other-oriented goals was associated with lower life satisfaction. Finally, support from parents (p?=?0.05) mediated the association between problematic digital use and life satisfaction. Findings are discussed in light of previous research and the theoretical and practical implications are examined.     

From Source to Evidence? Teachers' Use of Historical Sources in Their Classrooms

To explore questions in history and to construct historical narratives, historians work with evidence from the past. This approach to teaching history (inquiry involving the use of evidence) is an accepted part of the research on history teaching and is promoted widely in standards frameworks and practitioner publications as “good history instruction.” What happens in a standards-based setting where teachers are covering large bodies of content? Do teachers use sources as part of their daily instruction? If so, how? We were afforded the unique opportunity to spend time observing what 35 teachers do by analyzing 352 videos submitted over a 4-year time span. We observed a spectrum of source use within and across teacher practice. In this article we share what we noticed.

“消极修辞”之内涵新解

陈望道先生的修辞两大分野值得肯定,但他界定的“修辞”内涵必须重新解读。为此,重新探讨了消极修辞的定义、研究对象以及研究目的,提出消极修辞指没有相对固定格式的句式语词选择创造之艺术。具体有两个研究对象：其一是旨在适切语境、语体、语流的语境性措辞选择创造,其二是旨在达雅的文本内部措辞选择创造。其研究目的在于让受众能够切实把握该艺术,提高选择创造句式语词的能力,提高语言表现力。

对行政诉讼调解制度的冷思考

行政诉讼调解制度对当下中国的行政诉讼法发展有着不可忽视的消极作用,它将行政诉讼的目的定位为解决纠纷,淡化了行政诉讼保护相对人合法权益的目的,妨碍了行政诉讼独特的宪政功能的发挥,并导致了行政法规则在诉讼中的模糊化,使行政诉讼所承担的对行政法的告示、指引、预测、教育等作用无从发挥,行政违法的责任也随之淡化。而学界肯定行政诉讼调解制度的理由如行政裁量权的存在、中国无讼厌讼传统、外国存在相关制度等,均无法成立。由此,中国在当下不应建立行政诉讼调解制度。

农地产权抵押贷款用途对种植户农业增收的影响

如何发挥农地产权抵押贷款扶持农户农业生产并实现增收的作用是一个备受关注的话题。对农地产权抵押贷款能促进经济作物种植户农业增收的缘由及其作用机理进行了阐释,基于宁夏农地产权抵押试点区1 562个种植农户的调查数据,采用类别中介效应模型进行了实证检验。结果表明：农地产权抵押贷款用于经济作物种植对促进农户农业增收的概率比用于粮食作物种植高18.2％;种植农户贷后生产经营规模的扩大是农地产权抵押贷款促进农业增收的一个重要作用机制;农地产权抵押贷款用于经济作物种植促进种植农户农业增收的作用要比粮食种植高出7.5％。为此,金融机构在积极响应国家金融扶持“三农”政策的过程中,应针对种植农户农地产权抵押贷款用途差异制定个性化的贷款方案与帮扶措施,协助种植农户在确保生产经营有较好盈利率的前提下理性扩大经营规模。
