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.

对第二语言习得中“年龄小优势论”的辩证分析

多数人认为:在第二语言习得过程中,年龄小的人比年龄大的人学得好;儿童比成年人学得好。通过对大量的有关年龄因素如何影响"第二语言习得"(SLA)的资料的辩证分析,肯定了在自然条件下,就语音和语法方面而言,年龄越小,学得越好,但年龄大的人在读写方面的优势以及成年人比儿童能够更快地习得第二语言语法的事实证明了:在"第二语言习得"中,年龄小的人并非总是比年龄大的人学得好,从而论证了"年龄小优势论"具有一定的片面性。

Young helpline callers and difference: exploring gender, ethnicity and sexuality in helpline access and provision

This article, which has its origin in a feasibility study carried out for three youth telephone helplines, focuses on gender, difference and helpline access by young people. During the research process the writers noted that for the three commissioning helplines, as is the case with the majority of other telephone helplines, approximately two‐thirds of callers are female. A helpline for young Muslims where the gender access ratio was 50/50 stood out as being different in this respect. Until recently, literature on gender and help‐seeking has tended towards making a blanket identification of males as experiencing difficulties in negotiating pathways to help. Although this difficulty of males is evident in relation to both help‐seeking and access to helplines, our study suggests that, at least in relation to helpline usage, when we take culture, ethnicity and sexuality into account, the help‐seeking situation may be more nuanced. This has implications in terms of enabling a cross‐section of young people to access helplines as well as with regard to helpline service development.

由社会主体到自然主体——论宋代文人投身自然的几种表现形式

宋代文人投身自然 ,实质上是一种由社会主体向自然主体的角色转换 ,这种角色转换表现为 4个层面 :在行为上诗酒山林、随遇皆乐 ;在心理上“安于冲旷、不与众驱”;在思想上“无愧于中、无责于外”;在感情上“不以物喜、不以己悲”。这四个层面归结到一点 ,则是抒写山水 ,营造“心灵屋宇”。文人们在这些“心灵屋宇”中流泄的是真挚的情感 ,人生的顿悟和孤芳自赏的高洁品格     

论苏轼的《春秋》学

苏轼以《春秋》学为儒者本务,终身关心此学。他认为《春秋》一断以礼,当以观其意的办法探讨其旨；《左传》主以史实,不专为经,不专为例,最识《春秋》之用；而《公羊》、《毂梁》以义例解《春秋》有如法家,专求于绳约中,不可取。苏轼认为《春秋》立法虽严,而责人则宽。他还借《春秋》学反对王安石新法。在苏轼的影响下,在其周围形成了一个不小的《春秋》学学派。
