关于在礼拜中使用PPT投影的若干技术问题

如今在许多教会都有一个做法,即在主日崇拜过程中使用PPT投影。在此不讨论这一做法的利弊,仅仅从技术层面上列举一些可以改进的地方。     

教会可以张贴奉献者名单吗?

正有位牧者在讲道中称:"我有一次到一个教堂里布道,坐在长椅上发现,长椅上都写上了捐赠者的名字。我认为这种做法非常不妥,既然我们要把东西奉献给主,就不要留名了,这背离了奉献的真义。"牧者说的情况绝非个案,除了在捐赠品上写名字,不少堂会还会定期在教堂里张贴奉献者的名单,并写上某某人奉献了多少钱。这种做法在信徒中引起了一些争议,有的人认为奉献就不要留名了,不然就是在显扬自我;     

哲学睿语

如果一个科学家意识到可能把一件科学成就利用在消极方面的话,他应该毫不妥协地奋力反对这种做法。必须显示出他的远见卓识,以及为了接受一种比较广泛的人道主义见地而具有克服自己的专业观点的能力,不论他是纯理论研究工作者或是应用研究工作者。在这一意义上象牙之塔(an ivory tower)就不再存在了。但是,因为科学家对一切基础研究结果的认识是有局限的,而且无法逾越这种     

历史教训值得记取——1958年心理学批判的剖析

为了实现我国社会主义现代化建设的宏伟目标,目前正在大抓战略中心的转移。如何端正思想路线,切实解决好历史上遗留下来和现存的一些重大理论和认识问题,是当前理论战线讨论的一个重要方面。 实践是检验真理的唯一标准,二十年来的心理学实践证明,1958年的心理学批判运动的方向和做法是错误的。作者试图做一初步的剖析,引起讨论,共同总结这段历史,     

黄房公非披云子辨——兼论陈致虚丹道来源

在《金丹大要》中,陈致虚自认披云子宋德方为祖师。本文通过比对相关文献资料,认为陈致虚这种做法完全是出于依托,其目的是要为自己的道派建构一个正统而且显赫的来源,并初步推测陈致虚一系乃是源出蜀地的丹道传派。     

初中生写作效能感研究

经过文献搜索、开放式问卷调查、项目预测、正式施测等步骤,初步编制了初中生写作效能感问卷,问卷由任务效能和技能效能两个维度构成,具有良好的信、效度。在此基础上进行了问卷的初步应用研究,结果表明,初中生写作效能感的学校、年级和性别差异都很显著,男生写作效能感显著低于女生,且总体上有随年级升高而逐渐下降的趋势。     

纸烙画在校园中活态传承的实践探索

纸烙画又被称为"火笔画",是中国的优秀传统艺术形式,它通过火烧热烙铁在纸张上烙印出痕迹作画。由于温度极高,所以制作纸烙画必须精确把握火候和力度,同时追求一种"意在笔先、落笔成形"的至高艺术境界。纸烙画作为我国国家级非物质文化遗产,目前已经初步建立了自身良好的保护与活态传承机制。文章中将以校园为中心,简单探讨纸烙画的活态传承实践,探索相关模式做法。     

门户是否必要?——《春秋》研究与中国哲学

从事某一角色或专业的人具有初步认定的道德责任,以合乎情理的努力避免那些可能影响判断的因素。《春秋》研究需要以"严刻的理智态度"处理问题。中国哲学工作者在《春秋》研究上,具有一种初步判定的道德责任,以合乎情理的努力避免那些可能导致《春秋》研究变差的事情。门户之见可能导致《春秋》研究不能保持"严刻的理智态度",不必要地产生偏差。因此,中国哲学工作者具有初步判定的责任,理智地对待各种证据和推论,不宜抱有门户之见。     

我国关于教师心理的研究

教师心理学(Psychology of tealher)是教育心理学的一个重要组成部分。研究它,无论在理论和实践上都具有重大意义。为了促进我国对教师心理的研究,本文试图就我国目前在教师心理研究方面的情况作一初步考察。     

家园互动促进幼儿良好行为习惯

今天,我们看到很多孩子能表现出语言文明,举止有礼,能够和伙伴友好相处,能够关心周围的人和事,有了初步的环保意识等等。但是也有很多孩子显得淘气、行为习惯差。这当中有诸多的原因,其中的一个重要原因就出在幼儿园和家庭的脱节上。这种脱节致使教育失去一致性,最终导致教育的零效果甚至是负效果。因此,有必要对家园互动促进本班幼儿良好行为习惯进行研究。     

THE INTERACTION OF BIASES IN THE EVALUATION OF MANAGERS IN SINGAPORE

In this study, independent samples from the same population responded to three simulated situations in which sex and other independent variables were manipulated. In the first two cases, discriminatory decisions against women managers by male respondents were clearly discerned. However, in the third case where sex as an independent variable interacted with developmental potential, the pattern of evaluative decisions changed. A high-potential female was treated as favourably as a high-potential male while the low-potential male received the lowest selection rate from the male respondents. While the finding is not altogether surprising in a meritocratic society like Singapore, the study points to the need to explore the interactive effects which sex bias may have with other attitudes in a specific social context.     

IN SUPPORT OF PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT IN ORGANIZATIONAL SETTINGS

Personality constructs have been demonstrated to be useful for explaining and predicting attitudes, behaviors, performance, and outcomes in organizational settings. Many professionally developed measures of personality constructs display useful levels of criterion-related validity for job performance and its facets. In this response to Morgeson et al. (2007) , we comprehensively summarize previously published meta-analyses on (a) the optimal and unit-weighted multiple correlations between the Big Five personality dimensions and behaviors in organizations, including job performance; (b) generalizable bivariate relationships of Conscientiousness and its facets (e.g., achievement orientation, dependability, cautiousness) with job performance constructs; (c) the validity of compound personality measures; and (d) the incremental validity of personality measures over cognitive ability. Hundreds of primary studies and dozens of meta-analyses conducted and published since the mid 1980s indicate strong support for using personality measures in staffing decisions. Moreover, there is little evidence that response distortion among job applicants ruins the psychometric properties, including criterion-related validity, of personality measures. We also provide a brief evaluation of the merits of alternatives that have been offered in place of traditional self-report personality measures for organizational decision making. Given the cumulative data, writing off the whole domain of individual differences in personality or all self-report measures of personality from personnel selection and organizational decision making is counterproductive for the science and practice of I-O psychology.     

RELIGION IN AN AGE OF SCIENCE; METAPHYSICS IN AN ERA OF HISTORY

Abstract. Ian Barbour's Religion in an Age of Science is a welcome systematic, theoretical overview of the relations between science and religion, culminating his long career with a balanced and insightful appraisal. The hallmarks of his synthesis are critical realism, holism, and process thought. Barbour makes even more investment in process philosophy and theology than in his previous works. This invites further inquiry about the adequacy of a highly general process metaphysics in dealing with our particular, deeply historical world; also further inquiry about the adequacy of its panexperientialism and incrementalism.     

NOTE OF CAUTION IN THE USE OF CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS IN FACTORIAL STUDIES IN THE CLINICAL DOMAIN

Extreme caution must be observed when correlation coefficients are used in factorial studies in the clinical area. Distortional effects resulting from differences between the levels of test performance are demonstrated on both a correlational and factorial level. Further research to obtain a more suitable statistical index than the correlation coefficient for clinical research is recommended.     

小学低年級儿童掌握算术可逆推理与思維的灵活性

在前一个研究中,发現小学低年級儿童在解答算术加減法应用題时,常常根据題目中个别文字,如“多”或“少”来做加或减;对某种类型的題目稍加变化就不会解答。針对这些現象,我們曾采用加強可逆对比的教学实驗,以提高儿童思維的灵活性。关于加強可逆对比教学能否提高思維的灵活性,这不仅具有理論意义,而且还有实践意义,因为它涉及到算术教材教法的問題。在算术概念中有着成对相反的概念,对这些概念采取同时可逆
