The fertility related behavior of Mexican American adolescents

Data from a clinic sample of pregnant adolescents are analyzed for differences in fertility related variables between Mexican American and non Mexican. The independent variables are birthplace, ethnicity, and exposure to United States culture of Mexican and non Mexican adolescents. The dependent variables are talking about sex, pregnancy, birth control, hearing about birth control, and use of birth control. The data support the hypothesis that in the process of acculturation the fertility related behavior of immigrant Mexican adolescent females is affected by the indigenous United States Mexican culture rather than by United States Anglo culture. Implications for delivery of services are discussed. The delivery of fertility related services should take into account the cultural preferences of Mexican women, and should not involve coercion from legal or medical authorities. While liberation of Mexican American women, and accompanying changes in childbearing patterns may be desirable, these efforts should originate within the Mexican American community. Data is presented in tables on selected sample and subsample characteristics and compares fertility behaviors across ethnic groups, including Anglo, Black, US non-Mexican, and US Mexican.     

4-6岁儿童认知发展过程中直接认知成分与间接认知成分相互关系的研究

本实验是分析学前儿童认知过程中三种不同的条件(实物、照片、语言指示)对儿童计数、操作和比较活动的影响,探讨认知的各直接成分和各间接成分的关系在儿童认知发展中的作用;并了解3—6岁儿童在三种认知活动中的特点。     

迈向哲学的哲学

几十年前我开始哲学玄想的时候,就想当然地认为:任何人只要竭尽全力研攻哲学,他就能够创立一种哲学体系,以后他就要坚持这种哲学并为捍卫自己的哲学而与论敌进行有说服力的论战,这种哲学时时会有小的变化,但并不需要大的修改。我周围的哲学家们好象也是这么设想的。但是事实逐渐推翻了这样的设想。我现在的哲学之所以形成,主要是由于这种设想破灭的结果。如果我未曾改变那种把哲学研究看成是建立一种似乎坚定不移的体系的话,那就会导致而且肯定会使     

社会主义社会的无神论和精神文化

在苏联,由于经济和社会关系的伟大革命改造,建成了发达的社会主义社会。苏联的生活方式决定了社会意识的普遍无神论化,因此,在苏联社会生活中,科学无神论的社会功能和文化功能得以充实和扩大,科学无神论同物质和精神实践的各方面、各领域的联系得以巩固和完善。在信教者中间,虔诚狂热的信徒逐渐减少,这类现象证明,宗教在我国社会中的影响正在减退。     

辩证法和集合论的悖论

不久前,人们在分析辩证矛盾时,实际上并没有利用集合论的悖论。“除了逻辑学家和数学家看到的之外,到处都有违反亚里士多德的矛盾(不矛盾)律的情形。”目前,在我国的文献中正在形成一种用唯物主义辩证法的手段来研究集合论悖论的传统。我们把集合论的悖论,其中包括罗素悖论,作为辩证矛盾的局部情况、具体例子来加以     

不能否认有主体的认识论

Ⅱ这篇论文是我以前的一篇题名为《可错论和必然性》的姐妹篇。在那篇论文里主要讨论的是皮尔士在他的数学哲学中所提出的一个问题:我们是否有可能一方面主张我们的数学信念是可错的,另一方面又主张数学真理具有必然性。我的结论是一旦我们正确地阐述了什么是可错论,那么可错论和必然性在事实上是完全相容的:只要我们认识到可错论是关于我们容易犯错误的理论,而不是关于我们所相信的东西的模态地位(可能假)的理论,那么这一点就很清楚了。由这一结论所引起的一系列的思想导致了现在的这篇论文:如果可     

Comparison of observational recordings in vivo, via mirror, and via television

Simultaneous observational recordings were made in vivo, via an observation mirror, and via closed circuit television. Three of nine observers had extensive experience recording behavior in vivo; three had extensive experience recording behavior via mirror; and three had extensive experience recording via television. Observers recorded nine categories of disruptive behavior for children in a special class setting. Frequencies of behavior recorded in vivo, via mirror, and via television differed significantly for only one category, vocalization. There were no significant main effects or interactions involving the observers' previous experience. Occurrence reliability coefficients computed within and between media demonstrated the similarity of observer agreement in all three media. Data collection procedures using an observational mirror or closed circuit television appear to be reasonable alternatives to in vivo observation in circumstances similar to those in the present study.     

Standardized classroom management program: Social validation and replication studies in Utah and Oregon

A comprehensive validation study was conducted of the Program for Academic Survival Skills (PASS), a consultant-based, teacher-mediated program for student classroom behavior. The study addressed questions related to: (a) brief consultant training, (b) subsequent teacher training by consultants using PASS manuals, (c) contrasts between PASS experimental teachers and students and equivalent controls on measures of teacher management skills, student classroom behavior, teacher ratings of student problem behaviors, and academic achievement, (d) reported satisfaction of participants, and (e) replication of effects across two separate school sites. Results indicated that in both sites significant effects were noted in favor of the PASS experimental group for (a) teacher approval, (b) student appropriate classroom behavior, and (c) four categories of student inappropriate behavior. Program satisfaction ratings of students, teachers, and consultants were uniformly positive, and continued use of the program was reported a year later. Discussion focused upon issues of cost-effectiveness, differential site effects, and the relationship between appropriate classroom behavior and academic achievement.     

A comparison of the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and the Heilbrun Masculinity and Femininity Scales

This study compares two instruments which have recently been devised to measure sex-role identification, Heilbrun's Masculinity and Femininity Scales and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory. Correlations between the masculine and feminine scales of these instruments were significant for male but not female subjects; intrascale comparisons found no relationship between the Bem scales but moderate correlations between the Heilbrun scales for male subjects. There was agreement between the two measures in classifying approximately 47% of the subjects into one of the four sex-role categories. Misclassification occurred primarily on categories which have been found to show considerable overlap in personality characteristics.     

对马克思早期哲学思想发展的新认识

一九七五年新出版了马克思恩格斯全集第一辑第一卷,现在又出版了第四辑第一卷。对于马克思一八三九年初至一八四一年三月哲学思想的发展,这两卷提供了一些新的研究成果。这些新的研究成果,修正了这个时期流传下来的手稿——它们同时是马克思研究哲学的最初文献——的形成史,精确规定了这些手稿的形成时间,并确定了原文的编排和翻印。流传下来的手稿包括:关于伊壁鸠鲁的七册摘要笔记(有一部分成了不同题目的独立的补遗)、
