初中教师信息化教学效能感量表编制初探

信息化教学效能感是信息时代一项重要的职业心理特征，是教师对自身利用信息技术优化教与学活动、促进自身专业发展能力的主观判断。在“全国中小学教师信息技术应用能力提升工程”大力实施的背景下，本研究从心理学的视角对中学教师信息技术应用能力的测量进行了尝试性探究，编制了中学教师信息化教学效能感量表，将中学教师信息化教学效能感（ITE）分为信息化“教”的效能感（EII）、信息化“学”的效能感（EIL）、信息化“自我发展”的效能感（EISd）三部分，且探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析以及可靠性分析的结果显示该量表具有较高的信效度,适合测量中学教师信息化教学效能感。     

我国信用总规模与经济增长关系的实证研究

以1986—2012年中国的经济数据,研究分析中国信用总规模与经济增长之间的关系。结果显示:我国经济增长与信用总规模存在一定的相关性,两者之间为单向因果关系,即经济增长是推动信用总规模增加的主要原因,而信用规模的扩张对经济增长的作用并不显著。     

Conference Report Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business

We propose semiparametric procedures for estimation and testing of base-independent equivalence scales. The partial linear index specification permits simultaneous estimation across multiple household types and multiple goods and also the incorporation of continuous and discrete household attributes. Furthermore, asymptotic properties of estimated equivalence scales and tests of base independence are readily obtained. The efficiency gains from the proposed models and estimators are particularly helpful for developing country data where there is often much greater variation in household size and composition. We apply the techniques to South African data and find the results to be broadly consistent with base independence.     

Self–other rating agreement in leadership: A review

This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on self–other rating agreement (SOA) related to leadership in the workplace, focusing primarily on research published between 1997 (the year of Atwater &; Yammarino's seminal paper on SOA) and the present. Much of the current interest in SOA derives from its purported relationships with self-awareness and leader effectiveness. The literature, however, has used a variety of metrics to assess SOA, resulting in discrepancies between findings across studies. As multi-rater (360-degree; multisource) feedback instruments continue to be widely used as a measure of leadership in organizations, it is important that we more clearly understand the relationships between SOA and its predictors and outcomes. To this end, in this article, we review (a) models of agreement, (b) factors affecting self-ratings and the congruence between self–others' ratings, (c) factors affecting others' ratings, (d) correlates of agreement, and (e) measurement issues and data analytic techniques. We conclude with discussions of practitioner issues and directions for future research.     

Measuring work stressors: The role of frequency, duration, and demand

In recent years a number of authors have suggested that progress towards a better understanding of the stressor-stress relationship can only be achieved by altering the way in which work stress is investigated. One strategy is to investigate what it is we are measuring when we assess work stressors. More particularly there is a need to use rating scales that measure demand associated with work roles rather than just imply it. Dimensions such as frequency, duration, and level of demand were measured in addition to the traditional method of simply asking individuals to indicate whether they agree/disagree that stressors are present at work. The results point to the incremental increase in variance explained when these additional facets are measured over and above the variance explained by traditional methods. This result confirms the ned to develop a better understanding of the concept of demand, the difference between chronic and acute stressors, and the interaction effects of the different facets.     

How to Design Rating Schemes of Risk Matrices: A Sequential Updating Approach

Risk matrices have been widely used as a risk evaluation tool in many fields due to their simplicity and intuitive nature. Designing a rating scheme, i.e., determining the number of ratings used in a risk matrix and assigning different ratings to different cells, is an essential part of risk matrix construction. However, most of the related literature has focused on applying a risk matrix to various fields, instead of researching how to design risk matrices. Based on the analysis of several current rules, we propose a new approach, namely, the sequential updating approach (SUA), to design the rating scheme of a risk matrix in a reliable way. In this article, we propose three principles and a rating algorithm based on these principles. The three principles, namely, adjusted weak consistency, consistent internality, and continuous screening, characterize a good rating scheme. The resulting rating scheme has been proven to be unique. A global rating algorithm is then proposed to create the design that satisfies the three principles. We then explore the performance of the SUA. An illustrative application is first given to explain the feasibility of our approach. The sensitivity analysis shows that our method captures a resolution‐reliability tradeoff for decisionmakers in choosing an appropriate rating scheme for a risk matrix. Finally, we compare the designs based on the SUA and Cox's axioms, highlighting the advantages of the SUA.     

Measuring work stressors: The role of frequency,duration, and demand

Abstract

In recent years a number of authors have suggested that progress towards a better understanding of the stressor-stress relationship can only be achieved by altering the way in which work stress is investigated. One strategy is to investigate what it is we are measuring when we assess work stressors. More particularly there is a need to use rating scales that measure demand associated with work roles rather than just imply it. Dimensions such as frequency, duration, and level of demand were measured in addition to the traditional method of simply asking individuals to indicate whether they agree/disagree that stressors are present at work. The results point to the incremental increase in variance explained when these additional facets are measured over and above the variance explained by traditional methods. This result confirms the ned to develop a better understanding of the concept of demand, the difference between chronic and acute stressors, and the interaction effects of the different facets.     

建立和完善从风险评估和监控为核心的银行监管制度

作为一项公共政策,银行监管的目的是稳定金融秩序和保护公众利益.如何保证监管质量、降低监管成本,是摆在每个银行监管当局面前的紧迫课题.本文以风险为核心银行监管理念为指导思想,通过对发达国家银行监管的经验和中国<股份制商业银行风险评级体系>、<商业银行风险预警指标体系>进行分析和对比,认为提高监管质量和降低监管成本必须进一步完善银行监管中的风险评估与评级环节.
