Dissociable Coordinate Frames of Unilateral Spatial Neglect: “Viewer-Centered” Neglect

Detailed analyses of reading and nonlexical tasks by three patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN) secondary to stroke indicate that the USN in each of these patients affects the left side (contralateral to brain damage) of the viewer, with respect to the viewer's head, mid-sagittal plane of the body, or line of sight. In one case, the neglect was further specified as concerning the left side of the viewer's line of sight (the left half of her residual visual field). Thus, the frame of reference of USN in these three cases appears to have viewer-centered (in at least one case, specifically retinotopic) coordinates. The performance of these patients is contrasted to that of other patients in the literature whose USN appears to have a frame of reference with stimulus-centered or object-centered coordinates. These results are interpreted within a model of visual processing (adapted from Marr, 1980 and others) with at least three coordinate frames. It is argued that USN can affect one or more of these coordinate frames independently.     

Locke on Primary and Secondary Qualities

Abstract: In this paper, I argue that Book II, Chapter viii of Locke' Essay is a unified, self-consistent whole, and that the appearance of inconsistency is due largely to anachronistic misreadings and misunderstandings. The key to the distinction between primary and secondary qualities is that the former are, while the latter are not, real properties, i.e., properties that exist in bodies independently of being perceived. Once the distinction is properly understood, it becomes clear that Locke's arguments for it are simple, valid and (in one case) persuasive as well.

Secondary Students' Performance on Piagetian Projective and Euclidean Spatial Tasks

Four tasks involving Piaget's Euclidean and projective space were administered to a total of 99 students in Grades 8, 10, and 12: Task 1, Volumes of Revolution; Task 2, Geometric Sections; Task 3, Folding Patterns; and Task 4, Projection of Shadows. A scalogram analysis indicated that the tasks scaled in increasing order of difficulty in the following order: Task 1, Task 4, Task 2, and Task 3. These results did not support Piaget's position that projective and Euclidean concepts develop concurrently. Also, significant differences between task performance with regard to gender were found for Tasks 3 and 4. Significant differences between task performance and grade level for Tasks 1 and 4 were found. Standardized achievement test performance and task performance relationships were significant in 3 of the 16 analyses.     

Normative Influences on Secondary Disturbance: The Role of Social Expectancies

A “new wave” within psychotherapy has introduced the concept of acceptance into people's emotional repertoires. Accepting unpleasant emotional states has been demonstrated as an important pathway towards reducing secondary disturbances and improving emotional and psychological functioning. What is often overlooked, however, is whether this move towards acceptance is reinforced within the social and cultural contexts in which people experience their emotional states. Our research has begun to explore the contribution that normative influences make to secondary disturbance, specifically the perception that feeling happy is a desired state, and that experiencing and expressing negative emotions is undesirable and unacceptable to others. We review evidence here that these perceived “social expectancies” are associated with increased negative emotionality and depression, and reduce well‐being. Furthermore, we highlight that the effects of social expectancies are more apparent in Australia than Japan, consistent with the view that a higher premium is placed on happiness within Australia. We also review experimental evidence that social messages that reinforce these social expectancies serve to increase secondary disturbances. The implications of taking a social perspective on emotion regulation and dysfunction, and specifically implications for promoting happiness and acceptance in the field, are discussed.     

中小学生课堂问题行为研究述评

学生的课堂问题行为是中小学教师在课堂管理中迫切需要解决的问题。通过对近20年来国内外研究进行梳理分析,发现学生的课堂问题行为具有普遍性。教师和学生知觉到的问题行为具有一致性。课堂问题行为受到学校、家庭、学生自身、文化等因素的影响。该领域的研究存在基础理论研究比较薄弱;对学生课堂问题行为产生的神经生理机制研究不足,缺少长期追踪研究和跨学科研究等问题。未来研究应借鉴认知神经科学的研究成果和研究方法,深入探索课堂问题行为产生的神经机制;加强对特殊群体的研究,研究对象向低龄延伸;加强教师培养培训和干预研究,不断提升教师解决学生课堂问题行为的专业化水平。     

心理虐待与忽视对志愿投入的影响:链式中介效应分析

本研究根据道德认同模型与亲社会行为理论,以808名大学生志愿者为被试,通过问卷调查探索心理虐待与忽视对志愿投入的影响机制。结果发现:心理虐待与忽视对志愿投入的影响主要由公正世界信念与道德认同的中介作用来实现。本研究揭示了心理虐待与忽视与志愿投入的关系及内在机制,丰富了公正世界信念和道德认同的相关研究。     

中小学生心理素质双因子结构的构建

尝试构建双因子模型来验证中小学生心理素质结构的理论构想。采用整群抽样法先后两次选取被试,第一次选取重庆、四川、广东各一所小学4-6年级共1607名学生,重庆、四川、湖北、江西、浙江5个省市初一到高三共2106名中学生,第二次选取重庆市潼南区五所小学4-6年级共1334名学生、北碚区两所中学初一到高三共1057名学生,尝试构建中小学生心理素质的双因子结构,同时比较双因子模型与传统维度结构模型拟合中小学生心理素质的优劣。结果表明:相比传统维度结构模型,双因子结构模型拟合数据最优。结论:双因子模型更适用于解释中小学生心理素质的结构。

初婚者与再婚者择偶心理机制之比较——对西方进化心理学“初／再婚择偶市场”假说的检验

为检验西方进化心理学家Koziel和Pawlowski的"初/再婚择偶市场"假说,依同样方法对天津的653份征婚启事样本进行了内容分析,结果发现(1)Koziel和Pawlowski的"初/再婚择偶市场"假说的五个操作性假设基本未获得验证;(2)年龄变量较婚姻状态变量对择偶策略的选择具有更强预测力;(3)进化心理学的某些重要假设,如男性身高优势假设获得了验证.结论进化心理学意义上的择偶心理机制存在显著差异的"初/再婚择偶市场"在中国还并不存在.     

The Primary and Secondary Factors That Promote Destructive Personalities

The ability of behavioral scientists to assist society deal competently with destructive behavior relies upon a recognition of its causes. Despite the pervasiveness of violence in American society, the roots of destructiveness are still poorly understood. Five primary and five secondary factors found in the developmental histories of people who have become involved in serious destruction are identified and discussed. The confluence of these factors in the steps toward destructive acts are traced.

Primary and Secondary Control Over Age-Related Changes in Physical Appearance

Beliefs about appearance-related changes due to aging were used to test the effects of perceived control and secondary control (acceptance) in a sample of 412 young, early-middle-age, and late-middle-age college-educated adults. Mean difference in aging-related appearance control and hypotheses regarding the adaptiveness of primary and secondary control were examined. Primary control over aging-related appearance was lower in older adults and secondary control was higher. In addition, the results indicated support for the Primacy/Back-Up Model that primary perceived control is important at all levels of actual control. Those with stronger beliefs in their primary control were less distressed. Secondary control served a back-up function in that it was related to less distress only for those who had medium or lower beliefs in primary control. The implications of these findings, that primary control may be advantageous even in low-control circumstances, are discussed.
