邓小平社会主义观及其理论特色

邓小平社会主义观是邓小平理论的核心内容。它来源于马克思主义基本理论,来源于解放思想、实事求是的思想路线,来源于国内外社会主义实践。其社会主义观的基本点从制度、本质、体制三个层面全面回答了“什么是社会主义,怎样建设社会主义”的问题,是具有鲜明理论特色的社会主义观。     

关于文学批评学的学科定位

“文学批评学”作为一门新学科,其学科定位问题亟待解决。本文首先对文学批评学学科定位的几种观点进行介绍和评述;其次对文学理论、文学批评、文学批评学三者的联系与区别进行论析,从理论上明确文学批评学的学科定位;最后进一步为“文学批评学”进行“学科正名”。     

Turning points in the romantic history of emerging adults

This study examined patterns of romantic relationship turning points in 100 Israeli emerging adults (54 males) who were followed from age 22 to 29. Analyses of interviews at age 29 yielded four distinctive patterns of romantic transitions that are associated with different levels of concurrent well-being: positive outcome turning points, negative outcome turning points, formal turning points, and young people who could not identify any relational turning points. Young people who described a negative turning point or who were unable to identify a turning point were less involved and invested in romantic relationships. In addition, they reported a greater number of depressive symptoms. Those who described a positive outcome turning point or who pointed at a formal turning point reported more stable and healthy romantic relationships and a lower number of symptoms. Increased immature dependency and stress associated with goal attainment measured seven years earlier explained the tendency to identify a negative turning point or the inability to point to a significant event. Conceptualized within the reflexive model of transitions, findings suggest that personal assets such as personality attributes and developmental goal pursuit explain the ability or difficulty of young people to capture the meaning of events in their relational involvements and to move toward or interfere with settling down.     

Shift Restrictions and Semiparametric Estimation in Ordered Response Models

We develop a √n‐consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the parameters (regression coefficients and threshold points) of a semiparametric ordered response model under the assumption of independence of errors and regressors. The independence assumption implies shift restrictions allowing identification of threshold points up to location and scale. The estimator is useful in various applications, particularly in new product demand forecasting from survey data subject to systematic misreporting. We apply the estimator to assess exaggeration bias in survey data on demand for a new telecommunications service.
