TWENTY YEARS OF RESEARCH ON ROLE-MOTIVATION THEORY OF MANAGERIAL EFFECTIVENESS

Research related to the various hypotheses of managerial role-motivation theory is reviewed. In general this research supports the theory, although there are numerous areas that require further investigation. A total of 21 studies have been conducted to test the theory's validity and all have yielded significant results; 5 of these studies are predictive. Similar studies conducted outside the theoretical domain have uniformly failed to produce significant findings. Research carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of managerial role motivation training has indicated positive effects in 16 of 17 instances, and the construct validity of the primary measure used to operationalize the theory's variables, the Miner Sentence Completion Scale, has been established in relation to a number of other instruments. Relationships to other theories of motivation and leadership are considered, suggestions for future research are presented, and certain proposals for theoretical extensions are set forth.     

THE CONTOURS OF AN EMERGING TERRITORY:IMPRESSIONS OF TWENTY YEARS OF ZYGON:JOURNAL OF RELIGION AND SCIENCE

Abstract. Abstract. While the general territory mapped by the founders ofthe Center for Advanced Study in Religion and Science and Zygonremains the same, how one delineates the contpurs of this territorydepends partly on personal histories and on whether one is atheologian, a scientist, a scholar of religious studies, or a philoso-pher. However, the pluralism in the CASIRAS-Zygon communitycan be placed in a more comprehensive, evolutionary framework, in which the different approaches exert cultural selection pres-sures on each other. The most important selection pressure ishaving to make scholarly work usable by nonscholars seekingmeaning for their lives in a scientific age.     

METANEXUS 2007: THE CHALLENGE AHEAD

This essay is William Grassie's valedictory remarks at the Metanexus Institute's 2007 Annual Conference. Grassie asks what is wrong with religion, what is wrong with science, and why the constructive engagement of the two holds the key to setting things right. He cites Sir John Templeton and others to make his case and proposes a new curriculum for general science education that uses the history of nature as a mnemonic and context for promoting better science literacy and the incorporation of science into our cultural traditions.     

TWO SPHERES, TWENTY SPHERES, AND THE IDENTITY OF INDISCERNIBLES

Abstract:  I argue that the standard counterexamples to the identity of indiscernibles fail because they involve a commitment to a certain kind of primitive or brute identity that has certain very unpalatable consequences involving the possibility of objects of the same kind completely overlapping and sharing all the same proper parts. The only way to avoid these consequences is to reject brute identity and thus to accept the identity of indiscernibles. I also show how the rejection of the identity of indiscernibles derives some of its support from its affinity with a Kripkean account of trans-world identity and theories of direct reference.     

MAX EITINGON'S RISE AND DECLINE: THE BERLIN YEARS

Max Eitingon's main achievement was the foundation of the Berlin psychoanalytic Poliklinik that served both as an outpatient center and a training institute. Another area of his responsibility was the Verlag, the International Psychoanalytic Press. By 1926, he occupied several leading positions, including presidency of the International Psychoanalytical Association and editorship of the major psychoanalytic journal of the time. The basis of his power was his personal relationship with Freud, as well as his monetary wealth, which he put into the service of the Freudian cause. By 1932, he had suffered an overall setback, however, with the Berlin Institute losing its best teachers, the Verlag barely escaping bankruptcy, and the journal's editorship returning to Vienna.     

0―1.5岁婴儿表征能力的研究概述

就0-1.5岁婴儿的知识表征方面,该文主要介绍了国外的一些研究成果,指出婴儿的表征能力由感知表征向意义表征发展.即使很小的婴儿都已经有了相当复杂的表征能力,能初步感知典型的变化,识别不同种类物体的物体,表征事物与事物之间的空间关系、数量关系、因果关系等,对动因有一定的理解,并逐渐形成概念和图示     

4岁至7岁学龄前儿童脑电图研究

从发展的观点来分析,儿童的生长与发展虽然基本上是連續的与逐漸的,但有时加速,有时減速,并不是直綫的与等速的。許多作者(Courtis 1937、1948、Thorpe和Cruze 1956、Watson和Lowrey 1958等)都指出,自嬰孩发展至成人可能存在若干显然加速的时期,因而形成发展的周期或閉环。从心理、生理与解剖等多方面来綜合探討上述周期或閉环,无疑是儿童发展分期的重要客观基础。就嬰孩至7岁这个     

3～5岁儿童信念状态推理中的偏差

以判断正误的得分和原因解释的得分作为测量指标,以90名儿童为被试,采用信念状态推理任务来考察3～5岁儿童对信念状态推理的偏差状况.结果表明在信念状态推理任务中,儿童对他人信念的推理都受到自身信念状态的影响,表现出自我中心倾向,当儿童与他人信念状态相同时推理成绩更高.此结果在一定程度上说明了儿童心理理论的发展支持表征不可通达假设.
