Abstract

This study examined the importance of the nature of the relationship between sexual partners in predicting types of sexual practices for 293 gay and bisexual men. Demographics, personal beliefs, substance use, and variables from the health belief model, theory of self-efficacy, and theory of reasoned action were used to predict sexual behaviors. Sexual practices varied by type of partner relationship and duration, with a higher probability of risky behaviors occurring with primary partners than with non-primary partners; relationship status also moderated the effects of safer sex partner norms and denial on sexual risk-taking. In addition, men who were younger, had less education, and used alcohol or drugs prior to sex engaged in higher risk behaviors. This study indicates that a more comprehensive assessment of dimensions of partner relationship will lead to greater understanding of sexual risk-taking.     

E.弗罗姆研究(续)

四弗罗姆的“逃避自由”理论研究弗罗姆是在批判法西斯主义过程中提出他的“逃避自由”理论的。东西方不少学者对弗罗姆注重分析法西斯主义产生和流传的心理根源,给予高度肯定,认为这不但在法西斯主义正猖狂的当年对人们有启发作用,而且就是在今天也值得人们深思。罗宾逊指出,尽管弗罗姆的《逃避自由》一书的出版,迟于赖希的《法西斯主义的大众心理学》,甚至可以说,前者是在后者的影响下写成的,但“弗罗姆的研究水平远远超过了赖希”,弗罗姆对法西斯主义心理根源的分析使不少人“佩服得五体投地”。我们国内甚至有人提出,应把弗罗姆的     

远离历史视野的谢和平(R.H.P.Sia)

R.H.P.Sia是参与肺炎球菌转化研究的学者之一,该研究对于发现DNA是遗传物质的研究具有非常重要意义,此后诸多参与DNA研究的学者都成为知名学者,但关于R.H.P.Sia在史料和相关研究中却鲜有发现。根据一些散在的、极为稀少的资料对R.H.P.Sia进行还原,确认R.H.P.Sia为北京协和医学院谢和平(Richard Ho-Ping Sia),认为其远离历史视野原因包括淹没在黄金时代的浪潮里;华人同行中的"小人物";受限于时代发展的大环境;失去学术道路的引领者;失落于历史研究的选择性。     

善良的权力意志(答 H.-G.伽达默尔)

在昨晚的会议和讨论中,我寻思:这里除了,我用我们刚才听到的某些话来说,未必会有的辩论、反问和无法找到的对象之外,还会有些什么?我一直在这样寻思着。我们以伽达默尔教授为中心,相聚一堂。因此,我希望我这些话首先是向他说的,我还想向他请教几个问题。第一个问题是关于他昨晚对我们所说的善良意志,和对善良意志及协调愿望的绝对确信的号     

T. V. Moore’s (1939)Cognitive Psychology

Thomas Verner Moore published a book calledCognitive Psychology in 1939, almost 30 years before Neisser’s (1967) more familiar and far more influential work. Although it covers most of the standard topics found in current cognitive psychology textbooks, and even anticipated several current trends, Moore’s text is not cited by any of the major histories of the “cognitive revolution” or any current cognitive textbook. We provide a brief sketch of Moore’s academic life and summarize several of his papers that are still cited. After describing the psychologies prevalent in 1939, we compare Moore’s text with two contemporary works, Woodworth (1938) and McGeoch (1942). We conclude by comparing the older text with Neisser’s and by offering several reasons why the book is virtually unknown.
