The ‘right time’ – negotiating the timing of interviews with vulnerable young people

Participant retention is a key factor in determining the success of longitudinal research. Challenges in re-locating and retaining participants over the long term are major issues for researchers working with young people who face adversity and experience frequent changes in circumstances. This article reports on a study of vulnerable young people and their transition into adulthood. Rather than the more conventional schedule-based approach to locating and re-interviewing young people, a relational process, the ‘right time’ framework, was used to facilitate young people's involvement in the study. Embedded in the ‘right time’ framework is recognition of the diverse and fluctuating circumstances that shape young people's availability for interviews. Several case examples are considered which amplify the way that the ‘right time’ framework allowed the research to navigate around these circumstances. The case examples highlight the value young people attached to being involved in the research, the influence on the ‘right time’ of wider relational tensions for young people and the need to negotiate researcher status as a different sort of adult. The ‘right time’ framework contributed to a high retention rate in the study generating a more representative sample and enhancing the subsequent data analysis by providing valuable insights into the lives of these vulnerable young people.

Heteroscedastic Global Tests that the Regression Parameters for Two or More Independent Groups are Identical

Simulation results are reported on methods that allow both within group and between group heteroscedasticity when testing the hypothesis that independent groups have identical regression parameters. The methods are based on a combination of extant techniques, but their finite-sample properties have not been studied. Included are results on the impact of removing all leverage points or just bad leverage points. The method used to identify leverage points can be important and can improve control over the Type I error probability. Results are illustrated using data from the Well Elderly II study.

五四运动后的 2 0 -3 0年代 ,为使传统思想现代化和西方思想中国化 ,梁漱溟在推崇宋明理学的同时 ,吸收了许多西方近代资产阶级思想来完善自己的理论。但就总体而言 ,梁漱溟所做的理论探索和实践运作 ,有很大的局限性 ,与中国的现代化思想相去甚远 ,倒是更多地表现了保守、落后和空想的成分

林长民与五四运动--兼论五四运动的起源

五四运动爆发之前 ,在国内各派政治势力围绕着“铁路统一案”与“山东问题”的斗争中 ,林长民起了很大的作用。他先是致力于铁路统一案之提出与实施 ,继而力主把青岛问题与胶济铁路及其延长线济顺、高徐两路联系起来 ,之后又运动拒签和反对与日直接交涉。从整个过程来看 ,林长民与五四运动之发生、发展关系密切。从中也可以看出 ,五四运动虽因外交问题而起 ,但其中杂有许多内政的因素。五四运动既是社会变动和文化变化的结果 ,也是当时各派政治势力分化互动的结果     

爱的憧憬与“好色”情调——由川端康成孤儿的情感说起

少女光洁的肌肤、纯洁的心灵和母性的温情是孤儿川端的“救世主”,在感官与纯洁、母性与少女之间川端作品中出现了美女与佛的结合,进而形成了其文学中感官因圣洁而得到净化的“好色”情调。因此,从内在的形成原因来看,川端文学的“好色”情调是其诗化了的孤儿的缺失体验。     

“泰山石敢当”原为“泰巖堂”或“泰巖皇”——“泰山皇玺”考识

“泰山石敢当”词义难解,“石敢当”之人于古史无征。通过“泰山皇玺”的考证,得知“泰山石敢当”实为“泰巖 當”误写讹传,而“當”字应释为“堂”或“皇”,因而“泰山石敢当”原为“泰巖堂”或“泰巖皇”。“泰巖堂”即“泰山明堂”, “泰巖皇”即“泰山皇”。“泰巖堂”石碑,为古时“镇堂神石”,“泰巖皇”为原始“泰山神”。“泰山神”原应为“神龙禹皇”。
