Understanding Cumulative Risk Perception from Judgments and Choices: An Application to Flood Risks

Catastrophic events, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis, are rare, yet the cumulative risk of each event occurring at least once over an extended time period can be substantial. In this work, we assess the perception of cumulative flood risks, how those perceptions affect the choice of insurance, and whether perceptions and choices are influenced by cumulative risk information. We find that participants' cumulative risk judgments are well represented by a bimodal distribution, with a group that severely underestimates the risk and a group that moderately overestimates it. Individuals who underestimate cumulative risks make more risk‐seeking choices compared to those who overestimate cumulative risks. Providing explicit cumulative risk information for relevant time periods, as opposed to annual probabilities, is an inexpensive and effective way to improve both the perception of cumulative risk and the choices people make to protect against that risk.     

Comparing the Prevalence and Organizational Distinctiveness of Faith-Based and Secular Development NGOs in Canada

Faith-based development organizations (FBOs) have been argued to deliver more cost-efficient development projects than their secular counterparts through exclusive access to faith networks, which provide predictable decentralized funding, the recruitment of volunteers, low employee salaries, and less overhead and indirect costs. To date, however, comparative analyses of religious and secular organizations have relied on a case-by-case approach, limiting the generalizability of findings. This study addresses this methodological gap by analyzing Registered Charity Information Return filings and organizational websites of 844 Canadian development NGOs to determine the proportion of FBOs and their organizational distinctiveness. The results show that FBOs comprise 40% of the Canadian NGO sector in terms of the number of organizations and their expenditures in developing countries, and are significantly less reliant on federal funding (p?<?.1), pay employees lower salaries (p?<?.01), but do not exhibit a significant difference in their expenditures on overhead and indirect costs. Thus, Canadian FBOs participation in faith networks shapes their organizational modus operandi but does not result in a low overhead alternative to secular NGOs.

Cognitive-behavioral-expressive interventions with aggressive and resistant youths.

Research into the nature of aggressive behavior in youths has demonstrated that these youths are often the victims of abuse, exhibit aggressive behavior in early childhood, and remain aggressive into young adulthood. The treatment approach described in this article is a modification of Monahan's [1981] model of the prediction of violent behavior and the anger-management approach of Novaco [1985], and integrates the developmental models of Piaget [1963] and Erikson [1959]. The program is a combination of cognitive, behavioral, and expressive therapies and is targeted to the reduction of dysfunctional cognitive, affective, behavioral, and problem-solving patterns of aggressive youths. As referrals of such aggressive clients are often involuntary, interventions with unwilling and resistant clients are also presented.

建构主义与当代职业教育教学观的转变

作为哲学认识论的建构主义,对人类自身学习规律给出了崭新的解释,促成了一种新的学习论和教学范式。当代社会经济的变化、“能力”概念的宽泛化以及人们对工作环境中学习本质的重新认识,是推动当代职业教育教学观从行为主义向建构主义转变的根本原因。建构主义职业教育教学观的核心理念涉及到教学过程中的师生关系、课程整合、教学模式和教学评价四个方面,是对职业教育教学观的全面更新。     

论当代科学技术条件下马克思主义哲学的价值批判功能

科学技术是一把双刃剑。它给人类社会带来积极影响的同时,也引发了一系列的社会问题,给社会带来了负面的影响。哲学,尤其是马克思主义哲学在克服科学技术带来的负面影响上发挥着重要的作用,这种作用主要体现在马克思主义哲学的价值批判功能方面。发挥马克思主义哲学对当代科学技术的价值批判功能,首先应对当代科学技术有一个正确而全面的认识;其次是坚持马克思主义哲学的基本原则;再次是在实践中不断地丰富和发展马克思主义哲学。
