Accent, perpetual foreigner stereotype, and perceived discrimination as indirect links between English proficiency and depressive symptoms in Chinese American adolescents

The current study uses García Coll et al.'s (1996) developmental competence model of ethnic minority children and Kim's (1999) racial triangulation theory as frameworks for investigating the mechanisms whereby early adolescent English proficiency relates to perceived discriminatory experiences and adolescent depressive symptoms. Data from 444 adolescents (239 girls and 205 boys, with a mean age of 13.0 years for Wave 1 and 17.0 years for Wave 2) and their parents living in major metropolitan areas of Northern California were collected. The structural equation modeling analyses indicate that self-reported low levels of English proficiency among Chinese American adolescents in middle school are related to these same students later reporting that they speak English with an accent in high school, which in turn relates significantly to their perceiving that they have been stereotyped as perpetual foreigners. For girls, a perpetual foreigner stereotype relates to perceptions of chronic daily discrimination, increasing the risk of depressive symptoms. For boys, the path is different: A perpetual foreigner stereotype is apparently related to discriminatory victimization experiences, which increase the risk of depressive symptoms.     

A contingency model of conflict and team effectiveness

The authors develop and test theoretical extensions of the relationships of task conflict, relationship conflict, and 2 dimensions of team effectiveness (performance and team-member satisfaction) among 2 samples of work teams in Taiwan and Indonesia. Findings show that relationship conflict moderates the task conflict-team performance relationship. Specifically, the relationship is curvilinear in the shape of an inverted U when relationship conflict is low, but the relationship is linear and negative when relationship conflict is high. The results for team-member satisfaction are more equivocal, but the findings provide some evidence that relationship conflict exacerbates the negative relationship between task conflict and team-member satisfaction.     

天镇盘山显化寺

<正>大同天镇县城东南行8里,在重峦迭嶂中隐藏着一座古刹——闻名遐迩的盘山显化寺,俗称"盘山寺"、"盆山寺"、"盘山显化寺"。显化寺始建于明宣德二年(1427),明嘉靖年间、万历年间、清康熙年间、光绪年间均有修缮。初建时为佛寺,清代时形成释、道、儒三教合一的寺院。     

如何避免卵巢良性肿瘤的过度治疗

卵巢肿瘤是妇科常见肿瘤之一,可分为良性、恶性、交界性肿瘤,及时处理卵巢良性肿瘤具有重要意义,但关于如何避免卵巢良性肿瘤的过度治疗,尚无定论。目前为止,关于卵巢肿瘤发生、发展机制的基础研究和诊疗技术正在取得较大的进步,对临床医师发挥着重要的指导和辅助作用。如何正确诊断卵巢良性肿瘤,如何选择合适的手术方式、实现个体化治疗,是避免卵巢良性肿瘤的过度治疗的关键。     

腹主动脉瘤的外科治疗决策

腹主动脉瘤破裂是最常见、最凶险的疾病之一。提高对其治疗的临床决策水平至关重要。比较传统开腹修复治疗和血管腔内修复治疗的优缺点,以最佳证据为指导,选出最佳方案应用于临床实践。以人为本,做出科学决策,从而降低医疗费用及提高疗效及患者生活质量。     

助产士与中国近代的分娩卫生

助产士在近代中国担当着普及现代产科知识、推行分娩卫生的重要角色.她们在助产学校中养成了职业神圣感以及以新法接生为核心的医学技能.然而,毕业后从事助产职业的状况却不容乐观.助产士的职业困境一方面来自旧式产婆的竞争,另一方面则受限于其与产科医生之间的从属关系.这在某种程度上影响了分娩卫生的推行.     

从神经可塑性的视角看压力与疾病的关系

压力致病是一个复杂的过程,涉及到与多种致病因素的相互作用、多个器官系统的激活和反馈、不同发育阶段对疾病的易感性等。这个过程中,神经可塑性起着重要的调节作用。本文以神经可塑性为切入点,阐述了压力、发育阶段、个人发展、疾病发生之间的关系。     

Hewitt多维完美主义量表在中学生群体中的修订

本研究以中学生群体为样本,对Hewitt多维完美主义量表(HMPS)进行修订。首先根据我国文化背景和青少年发展的具体状况建立了理论构想,接着对原量表进行了四次测查和检验修订,我们首先把指向他人和社会期望两个维度上的反向题改成正向题,并对所有项目的表述做了必要的修改;然后根据随后的测查结果进行了各维度和项目上的修改;最后删除了指向自我维度上的1个项目、指向他人维度上的2个项目和社会期望维度上的6个项目,修订后的HMPS量表的内部一致性信度α系数为0.91,指向自我、指向他人、社会期望的α系数分别为0.89,0.80,0.78,重测信度分别为0.80,0.79,0.67,与Frost多维完美主义量表中文修订版的相关分别为0.58,0.38,0.57。     

结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物的最新研究进展

结直肠癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。其起病隐匿、病死率较高,治疗成功的关键在于早期发现、早期诊断,结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物曾为此做出了贡献。近年又发现了许多新的结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物,其中有的已进入临床应用,还将有更多标志物为结直肠癌的早期诊断、疗效观察、预后判断和复发监测提供新思路和新方法。
