舆论研究向行为研究的过渡 “青年生活方式和消费模式”国际讨论会总结报告

青春不局限于年龄,换言之,青春是多么美好,但并非对所有年轻人而言。在后现代化社会里,青年时代(青春)是具有重大价值的,人们都应年轻。年轻人享有充分空余时光、意味着幸福,意味着个性充分发挥,意味着自由以及性别上的平等。这样描绘的结果必然对     

曼宁·纳什著《现代世界中民族性大锅》一书简介

“熔锅”(melting pot)这个隐喻表达了这样一种概念,即微妙地混合在一起的各种各样来源的个体。但是,一旦不平等、民族主义或是明显的不公平等因素添加到这种混合物的成分中去,就会使之达到混乱的地步,熔锅便可成为沸腾的大锅(cauldron)。曼宁·纳什对后殖民国家中民族性的仔细验查,提供了洞察民族紧张和持续紧张的方法。纳什提出民族性是由历史过程形成的,这种过程是建立在社会和文化之先存在的因素之     

后现代科学与后现代世界

一、现代物理学与现代世界随着现代的到来,人类关于世界及他们自身的看法发生了根本性的变化。早期的对生活几近宗教般的理解被一种世俗的认识所取代。这种理解假定自然能够被彻底地理解并最终能够得到控制。这种控制是通过(由观察、试验和理性思维所构成的)科学知识的系统发展进行的。这种思想在17118世纪占据着上风。寻找宇宙的秩序便成为人们注意的焦点。通向人的幸福的根本之路是发现     

Two earner family migration A search theoretic approach

This paper represents the first attempt to model the two earner family decision to migrate using a joint search theoretic approach. In so doing, the paradox of a couple whose members would both migrate if single but decide not to migrate because they are married to each other is discovered and explained. Furthermore the impact of the rising number of working women and reentry of wives into the labor force on the extent and regional pattern of migration is discussed. Extensions to the model are addressed, as well as future avenues of research, both theoretical and empirical. It is suggested that the search theoretic approach, not previously applied to models of family migration, is the most appropriate.     

Self-generated fertility waves in a non-linear continuous overlapping generations model

In this paper, Samuelson's simplified version of the Easterlin theory (Samuelson 1976) is extended to a continuous-time model with three age groups. This approach enables one to apply the qualitative theory of non-linear differential equations to show the existence of Easterlin-type cycles. In contrast to the discrete time model we obtain information about the period length of the cycle.This research was supported by the Austrian Science Foundation under grant P6601.     

The impact of international migration on fertility: an econometric population model

The authors develop an econometric model to examine the impact of migration on fertility in Greece in the period 1968-1986. In the model, the fertility equation is considered within a simultaneous equation system, and international migration is included as an explanatory factor of both fertility and per capita income.

Training with o (observing) and T (treatment) teams in live supervision: reflections in the looking glass*

Working with a treatment and observing team at the same time, behind the oneway mirror, offers a variety of ways to: (a) generate multiple realities; (b) work with two different models of family therapy simultaneously; and (c) provide feedback on the teams' own roles, rules and group process. The process that 6 trainees and two supervisors used with T and O teams to examine their own coevolution as a therapeutic system using the Milan model of family therapy and Ericksonian hypnotherapy is described. The article concludes with a discussion of the advantages and pitfalls of this type of dual supervision.     

Demographic behavior: controlled fertility

The current status of fertility and its control in France is reviewed. Consideration is given to changes in contraceptive usage, nuptiality, educational status and fertility, birth timing and spacing, and female labor force participation. The author notes that fertility has not declined significantly since the mid-1970s. Fertility differentials by geographical region and occupation are also considered.
