Motivating protégés' personal learning in teams: a multilevel investigation of autonomy support and autonomy orientation

This study examined the roles of 3 multilevel motivational predictors in protégés' personal learning in teams: an autonomy-supportive team climate, mentors' autonomy support, and protégés' autonomy orientation. The authors followed 305 protégés in 58 teams for 12 weeks and found that all 3 predictors were positively related to the protégés' personal learning in teams and that an autonomy-supportive team climate augmented the effects of mentors' autonomy support and protégés' autonomy orientation on protégés' personal learning in teams. Protégés' personal learning in teams mediated the interactive effects of an autonomy-supportive team climate with mentors' autonomy support or protégés' autonomy orientation on protégés' behavioral and attitudinal outcomes, including their organizational citizenship behaviors and job involvement. The findings of this study provide business researchers and practitioners with valuable insights into the management of autonomy.     

楚山绍琦生平事迹研究

绍琦是一位被当代中国学术界几乎遗忘了的明代中期四川禅宗临济宗高僧,由于资料的缺乏,人们对其禅学思想无法加以深入研究。四川石经寺方面最近推动了对于绍琦的研究,寻访并影印发布了绍琦的语录,使得学术界对于绍琦的深入研究成为可能,这一研究将改变人们对于明代禅宗史的传统看法。作为一种基础性研究,本文简要介绍绍琦研究所需要的基本资料,并梳理绍琦的生平事迹,研究其法嗣成员,以使人们对于绍琦有一个基本的学术性了解。     

《企业管理者管理自我效能感问卷》的编制

该研究旨在编制适合我国企业状况的《管理者管理自我效能感问卷》(enterprise intendant managementself-efficacy questionnaire,EIMSEQ)。在初测的基础上,通过探索性因素分析确定了构成该问卷的8个维度。然后,得到了一个包含8个维度共64个项目的《管理者管理自我效能感问卷》。在天津市六家国有企业中,利用该问卷调查了475名中层管理者。数据分析表明,该问卷具有很好的信度和效度。     

儒家德治思想及其价值的现代阐释

德治理念确立于西周时期 ,在《尚书》中已有明确表述 ,以孔子为代表的儒家学派则在某种程度上对其进行了理论上的系统化。“德治”的观念依据是天命君权的神圣性与绝对性 ,其现实基础则是以血缘家族为基本结构的宗法社会 ,而其贯彻的制度保证则是“礼乐刑政”相互辅成的互动机制。在“德治”理念的背后隐藏着王权的绝对性以及“治者”与“被治者”之间在政治地位以及价值理念上的根本不平等。但作为一种政治模式 ,“德治”充分强调了对于统治者本身之道德素质的本质要求 ,因此它仍蕴含着现代政治在现实性上趋于合理化的基本前提     

Predicting unit performance by assessing transformational and transactional leadership

How do leadership ratings collected from units operating under stable conditions predict subsequent performance of those units operating under high stress and uncertainty? To examine this question, the authors calculated the predictive relationships for the transformational and transactional leadership of 72 light infantry rifle platoon leaders for ratings of unit potency, cohesion, and performance for U.S. Army platoons participating in combat simulation exercises. Both transformational and transactional contingent reward leadership ratings of platoon leaders and sergeants positively predicted unit performance. The relationship of platoon leadership to performance was partially mediated through the unit's level of potency and cohesion. Implications, limitations, and future directions for leadership research are discussed.     

Adolescent coping in different Chinese family environments

This study explored the relationship between family environment and adolescent coping in a Chinese sample. Four family types were identified with cluster analysis: (a) conflict-control, (b) structured, cohesive, expressive, and recreation-oriented, (c) structured, cohesive, and low conflict, and (d) unstructured and low control. Families with high cohesion, expressiveness, organization, low conflict, and low to medium level of control were associated with a more constructive coping style. Chinese adolescents tended to (a) mobilize personal resources, (b) seek help from social resources, and (c) adopt a philosophy of doing nothing as their major coping style when they had a positive perception of their family environment. This coping style was termed "fatalistic voluntarism." Finally, boys' coping behaviors were somewhat different from girls'. Girls tended to rely more on social support, whereas boys tended to avoid the problem or engage in blaming.     

Not letting the left leg know what the right leg is doing: limb-specific locomotor adaptation to sensory-cue conflict

We investigated the phenomenon of limb-specific locomotor adaptation in order to adjudicate between sensory-cue-conflict theory and motor-adaptation theory. The results were consistent with cue-conflict theory in demonstrating that two different leg-specific hopping aftereffects are modulated by the presence of conflicting estimates of self-motion from visual and nonvisual sources. Experiment 1 shows that leg-specific increases in forward drift during attempts to hop in place on one leg while blindfolded vary according to the relationship between visual information and motor activity during an adaptation to outdoor forward hopping. Experiment 2 shows that leg-specific changes in performance on a blindfolded hopping-to-target task are similarly modulated by the presence of cue conflict during adaptation to hopping on a treadmill. Experiment 3 shows that leg-specific aftereffects from hopping additionally produce inadvertent turning during running in place while blindfolded. The results of these experiments suggest that these leg-specific locomotor aftereffects are produced by sensory-cue conflict rather than simple motor adaptation.     

汉字、数字和符号的身份信息和位置信息加工比较——中文阅读的特别机制

汉字、数字和符号的身份信息和位置信息加工存在怎样的差异,以及在不同呈现方式下是否表现不同,现在仍不清楚。本研究采用9选1部分报告范式,通过字符串水平呈现和竖直呈现两个实验来对这一问题进行探究。结果发现,水平呈现对于不同类型字符的身份信息和位置信息加工都更有优势。数字在不同呈现方式下都表现出绝对优势,且水平呈现时存在首位置优势,表明“改变的接受域”理论对于汉语语系地区数字系列位置效应解释的可能性。同时,汉字与符号更为相似,但水平呈现时汉字位置信息加工更好,且表现出更为明显的注视点左侧(包括注视点)优势,这可能是中文阅读的特别机制。     

审美的测量:美术能力倾向测验的回顾与展望

美术能力倾向测验对美术人才的识别和选拔具有重要意义。现有测验可分为审美能力测量和艺术创作能力测量两种,其中审美能力测量的测验又可以分为审美判断测验和判断后选择判断理由的两种形式。但以往研究缺乏对审美知觉能力维度的实证研究、没有区分“主观美”和“客观美”,以及缺乏对各类型美术能力倾向测验效度的比较研究。未来可加深对审美知觉能力维度的实证研究,开发多类型美术能力判断测验并比较其效度,开发适用于小学生的美术能力倾向测验,以及开发适合我国国情的美术能力倾向测验。
