人虽老矣精神莫衰

中国老龄委、中国老龄协会及13个老年社团的代表召开座谈会揭批法轮功时表示,要抓好老年人的理想信念教育.与会者指出,有些老年人参与法轮功的事实表明,世界观的改造并不是一劳永逸的,一些老年人离开工作岗位后,由于社会角色的转变和生活环境的变化,闲暇时间较多,情感交流圈相对缩小,对退休和晚年生活没有充分的思想准备和科学的心理调适,思想上难免会产生失落感和孤独感.加上放松要求自己,不注意加强学习,搞自我封闭,结果让法轮功邪教组织钻了空子.因此,对老年人进行崇尚科学,反对迷信的再教育,使老年人“老有所教“,是新形势下加强老年人思想政治工作,同法轮功邪教组织进行坚决斗争的重要任务.……     

Knowing Your Ability

In this article, we present an attempt to reconcile intellectualism and the anti‐intellectualist ability account of knowledge‐how by reducing “S knows how to F” to, roughly speaking, “S knows that she has the ability to F demonstrated by a concrete way w.” More precisely, “S has a certain ability” is further formalized as the proposition that S can guarantee a certain goal by a concrete way w of some method under some precondition. Having the knowledge of our own ability, we can plan our future actions accordingly, which would not be possible by merely having the ability without knowing it, and this pinpoints the crucial difference between knowledge‐how and ability. Our semi‐formal account avoids most of the objections to both intellectualism and the anti‐intellectualist ability account, and provides a multistage learning process of knowledge‐how, which reveals various subtleties.

Rate Your Office

Each of the statements below describes a characteristic of a particular kind of organization. Read each statement and ask yourself whether it describes the agency where you work. If so, put a check by the number. What kind of organization has these characteristics? Check the items first, and see how your organization comes out before you know what the items mean (it's explained later). Of course, if you're the kind of person who has to know how the story turns out before you really let yourself get into it, go ahead and read the end first.     

Your Cheatin' Heart

SUMMARY

This work challenges therapists to look at themselves and their beliefs regarding affairs. The work also examines common illogical beliefs in regards to extradyadic involvement. The reader is challenged to examine the underlying dynamic of extradyadic relationships and how their own biases affect how they view clients and work with the dyad.     

Children Cover Your Eyes: Masculine Honor and the Role of Blind Patriotism in Teaching National Allegiance to Posterity

Identifying strongly with the nation could entail a willingness to criticize the country or a refusal to do so. The studies reported here examine the extent to which masculine honor inspires the latter and, in turn, motivates teaching allegiance to youth in a manner that could discourage national criticism. Whereas Study 1 provides an initial test of this idea by evaluating blind patriotism's ability to mediate the link between honor endorsement and general support for allegiance education (e.g., singing the National Anthem at school functions), Studies 2 and 3 do so more decisively by focusing on more severe outcomes such as punishing students who refuse to pledge loyalty to the United States. The predicted pattern of mediation occurred in every case, even when honor endorsers were experimentally induced to feel anger toward the country (Study 3). Explanations for this latter finding are discussed and include the role of identity fusion in honor endorsers’ commitment to the nation and the potential for real and enduring governmental threats to weaken or eliminate the pattern of mediation observed.

不要引火烧身

有一种说法:"恨一个人就像为杀一只老鼠而烧掉自己整栋房子"。或者说,"你因不喜欢自己的脸就割掉了自己的鼻子"。当我们恨某人时,我们对自己的伤害远远超过那些惹我们生气并想去报复的人。这就是为什么,当我们受到他人伤害时,坏记性就是终止这种伤害加深的最好的武器。忘记它吧,继续你的生活。

Achieving Sustainable Gains in Happiness: Change Your Actions, not Your Circumstances*

Although attaining happiness is a nearly universal goal, surprisingly little research has focused on how happiness can be increased and then sustained. Three studies test predictions of a model (Lyubomirsky et al., 2005) positing that sustainable happiness is possible through intentional activity changes, more so than through circumstantial changes. Study 1 shows that less hedonic adaptation is reported in response to activity changes than to circumstantial changes. Study 2 tests a dynamic process model, showing that while both positive activity changes and positive circumstantial changes predict rank-order increases in subjective well-being from Time 1 to Time 2, only activity changes predict maintained gains at Time 3. Study 3 replicates the Study 2 findings and extends them to psychological well-being (Ryff and Keyes, 1995). Implications for positive psychology and “the pursuit of happiness” are discussed. *This work was supported in part by grants from the Positive Psychology Network.
