The Relation of Altruistic Orientation to Human Relationships and Moral Judgment in Chinese People

The altruistic orientation and moral judgment of 811 Chinese subjects were studied. Three hypotheses were examined: (1) The altruistic orientation of an actor at any level of moral judgment is larger to a recipient of closer relationship in any situation; (2) an actor at a higher level of moral judgment would be more willing to sacrifice their life for any recipient than an actor at a lower level of moral judgment; (3) an actor at a higher level of moral judgment would be less willing to: (a) Give up rescuing a stranger and turn to rescue close relatives or best friends; or (b) help close relatives or best friends by covering up their crime than an actor at a lower level of moral judgment. The empirical findings supported clearly the aforementioned hypotheses.     

主观轮廓与明度对比的实验研究

本实验以被试的反应时为指标,用速示器呈现实验刺激,通过系统改变诱导区域的面积和反射率对主观轮廓知觉进行了研究。实验结果表明:随着主观轮廓图形诱导面积的减小和诱导部分反射率的增加,明度对比减弱,被试的反应时增加,并且各反应时之间存在显著差异。这表明诱导部分的面积和反射率都以明度对比为中介引起了主观轮廓知觉的系统改变。这说明视觉系统中侧抑制引起的明度对比在主观轮廓知觉中起重要作用。

Does community violence exposure moderate the associations between maternal spanking and early child behavior problems?

A robust research literature links parental spanking with negative behavioral outcomes for children, however, it remains unclear whether conditions in the community may moderate the associations between spanking and behavior problems in early childhood. In the current study, we examined whether community violence exposure moderated the associations of maternal spanking with externalizing and internalizing behavior problems of young children. The sample used in this study was urban families and their children ages 3–5 (n = 2,472). We used fixed effects regression models, which yield stronger statistical control for baseline behavior problems, selection bias, and omitted variables bias. Mother's spanking was associated with elevated levels of both externalizing (β = .037, p < .001) and internalizing (β = .016, p < .001) behavior problems. Community violence exposure also predicted higher levels of externalizing (β = .071, p < .01) and internalizing (β = .043, p < .05) behavior problems. Community violence exposure did not moderate the associations between maternal spanking and behavior problems. Professionals working with families should promote the use of nonphysical disciplinary practices, regardless of the level of violence and crime in the community in which the family resides.     

德性是否可教?——兼解柏拉图的《美诺篇》

在《美诺篇》中,柏拉图试图放弃他承自苏格拉底的"德性即知识"的信念,以彻底与智者决裂.但囿于定义论思维方式的固有局限,混淆了道德德性和技艺德性.只有循着亚里士多德的思路,厘清技艺德性、道德德性和理智德性之间的相互关系,我们才能辨明柏拉图在《美诺篇》中陷入的困局,并合理解答德性是否可教的问题.     

基于"道德个人主义"之上的人文关怀——再论《论语》、《礼记》中的"元典道德"

在儒家学说上升为在社会中占统治地位的意识形态之后,基于生产上的原创性、涵盖面的广阔性以及思考的深邃性,《论语》和《礼记》成为中华民族元典的代表,蕴涵着丰厚的人文精神,其对于主体与客体隔阂消解的要义基于元典道德中的核心命题--"道德个人主义".对于作为中国传统文明精髓的人文精神,在当下的继承、吸取过程中,应该追本溯源,进一步深化对"道德个人主义"价值的体认,加大对"个体人"的观照.
