大圆满(Dzogchen)及海德格尔的四维时间

关于时间,我们有太多的疑问,比如过去的事情就不再有了吗?未来是不可预期的吗?现在存在吗?时光的流逝是不可逆转的吗?什么是永恒?它与时间的关系如何?本文以藏传佛教大圆满传统的龙清巴和西方现象学派的海德格尔为例讨论时间的经验。他们都没有去构想永恒的生命,而是深入到时间流逝的现象和经验之中,揭示了一个全新的时间维度,即所谓第四时间或时间的第四维度。本文首先介绍大圆满传统中处理时间经验的一种修行,然后分析龙清巴的四时概念及其在佛教史上的意义,接着讨论海德格尔的四维时间概念,以及其追随者对这一概念的进一步讨论。最后在结论中,我将简单说明四维时间在这两个传统中的同异点,并探讨其相似点后的可能原因。

本研究通过IAT对网络游戏成瘾者的内隐攻击性进行了研究。研究表明:(1)与非网络游戏成瘾者相比,网络游戏成瘾者持有自我攻击性信念和对攻击性的更为积极的内隐态度;(2)网络游戏成瘾者与非网络游戏成瘾者在外显攻击性上没有表现出显著差异。     

人格维度与行为抑制的相关研究

本研究旨在探讨人格特点与行为抑制之间的关系。680名被试完成了中国人人格量表(QZPS)和行为抑制量表(BIS),回归和相关分析的结果表明,对七种行为的抑制都与多个人格因素显著相关,相关系数在0.10-0.57之间。控制人格因素间的相关之后,进入每个预测行为抑制回归方程的人格因素分别为6-10个,能够解释17%-51%的变异。文中还对本研究的局限及进一步研究的方向进行了讨论。     

权威与群体因素对中学生受暗示心理的影响研究

本研究在前人的基础上再次证实权威与群体是影响受暗示心理的主要因素,选取了即将参加高考的高三学生作为被试,从而证明该结论在不同的群体样本中都成立。同时也比较了两者影响作用的大小和在不同群体中的表现是否有差异。通过设计由两个群体暗示实验组、两个权威暗示实验组和一个控制组组成的实验来进行研究。研究表明在中学生群体中权威与群体都对受暗示心理有影响,但是群体的暗示作用更大,权威的暗示作用显得比较小甚至会出现相反的结果,这说明中学生和大学生相比,心理发展还处于不稳定时期,在受权威暗示上还存在一定程度的逆反心理。

Recovery and Buddhist practices in the aftermath of the Tsunami in Southern Thailand

For most Thai people, Buddhism serves as a base for explanations about life and death.This article focuses on Buddhist practices and the importance of ceremonies in the recovery process after the 2004 tsunami in Southern Thailand. The tsunami had devastating consequences for most people in the coastal regions. First, through the loss of life, and second, through the damage to and loss of houses, fishing boats and means of livelihood. This article analyses informants’ experiences, narratives, interpretations and actions in terms of their Buddhist beliefs. The key findings of this article are that collective ceremonies form an important part of the recovery process. One finding revealed that, in cases of ambiguous loss, a Buddhist ceremony that was unknown to most people before the tsunami became an important element of the search for missing persons. Another finding is that the common Buddhist practice of communicating across the boundary between the living and dead became the most important ritual among the surviving relatives. The ethnography is based on a long-term anthropological research project with in-depth interviews, life stories and participant observation carried out in coastal villages located mainly in Phang Nga, the worst hit province in Thailand.¹     

The origin and mission of Material Religion

Beginning its sixth year of publication, Material Religion is an interdisciplinary journal that seeks to gather the best work from around the world engaged in materializing the study of religions. The editors welcome original scholarship on any religion and from any period in human history that treats material objects and practices as primary evidence and engages in critical reflection on the cultural construction of materiality. In this article the editors reflect on the formation and format of the journal, the force and direction of its articles and other features, the question of what constitutes the material culture of religion, and finally the role of materiality in the current study of religions. Along the way, the editors consider new theories and concerns that have been taken up in the journal's pages and address the range of disciplines and interests that are represented in the different departments of the journal.
