This focus section has presented Japanese research on a variety of socialization agents and contexts, including mothering, fathering, peers and multiple-caretakers in families and institutions. The reader is encouraged to compare the papers, discover the theoretical and applied implications of each study for child development in the reader's own culture, and to pursue collaborations with the outstanding young Japanese contributors. We conclude with brief comments on each of the five articles, discussing their limitations, most significant findings, theoretical importance, and implications for subsequent research. 相似文献
Four experiments explored the extent to which abstract knowledge may underlie subjects' performance when asked to judge the grammaticality of letter strings generated from an artificial grammar. In Experiments 1 and 2 subjects studied grammatical strings instantiated with one set of letters and were then tested on grammatical and ungrammatical strings formed either from the same or a changedletter-set.Evenwith a change ofletter-set, subjects were found to be sensitive to a variety of violations of the grammar. In Experiments 3 and 4, the critical manipulation involved the way in which the training strings were studied: an incidental learning procedure was used for some subjects, and others engaged in an explicit code-breaking task to try to learn the rules of the grammar. When strings were generated from a biconditional (Experiment 4) but not from a standard finite-state grammar (Experiment 3), grammaticality judgements for test strings were independent of their surface similarity to specific studied strings. Overall, the results suggest that transfer in this simple memory task is mediated at least to some extent by abstract knowledge. 相似文献
Extensive changes in work structure and conditions have been widely noted, and many more are predicted. The impact on individuals of these changes is examined. This generally involves the expectation of diminished job/work security, and a requirement for individuals to demonstrate greater responsibility and autonomy in the workplace. The importance and meaning of work to individuals is explored from a psychoanalytic perspective. Particular attention is given to ways in which the predicted changes may create anxiety, when there is a threat to such a significant aspect of human activity. It is suggested that those involved in the counselling process in the workplace or in career guidance may need special awareness of these issues, and the ways that they may manifest in the workplace. The concept of 'containment' is examined as a helpful notion in considering intervention approaches 相似文献
Escalating pressures for self-development require people of all ages to possess increasingly sophisticated levels of self-knowledge. From a career planning perspective, this means knowing more about one's strengths and weaknesses. Although some people acquire knowledge about themselves from instruments and assessment processes, many more look to their personal histories, including career histories, for evidence confirming competence. Research examining failures and setbacks recalled by a diverse sample of artists, athletes and business people is reported. It is concluded that people often hold distorted interpretations of life's disappointments, underscoring the need for informed guidance 相似文献
This paper discusses some of the possible effects of increasing organizational diversity on four areas of concern to women: 1) hiring discrimination; 2) appraisal, promotion, and advancement problems; 3) problems related to managing and leading; and 4) sexual harassment. Recommendations for research are offered for each of these areas. 相似文献

How can we explain that an assertion on something perceived can be understood in the same manner by somebody who cannot perceive that scene? This problem bases the interest in computational linguistics in how listener modeling could possibly be harmonized with reference semantics. Mental images substituting real perception appear as a way out. The architecture of the listener model has to be adapted to the creation and use of such pictorial data structures. Furthermore, the relation between the latter and a verbal (i. e., propositional) representation must be understood. The resulting architecture of a listener model with reference semantics can be employed to solve communicational problems from three general classes in a better way, as is demonstrated by an example implementation. 相似文献
