Loneliness and Suicidal Risk in Young Adults: Does Believing in a Changeable Future Help Minimize Suicidal Risk Among the Lonely?

This study examined loneliness and future orientation as predictors of suicidal risk, namely, depressive symptoms and suicide ideation, in a sample of 228 college students (54 males and 174 females). Results of regression analyses indicated that loneliness was a significant predictor of both indices of suicidal risk. The inclusion of future orientation was found to significantly augment the prediction model of both depressive symptoms and suicide ideation, even after accounting for loneliness. Noteworthy, beyond loneliness and future orientation, the Loneliness × Future Orientation interaction term was found to further augment both prediction models of suicidal risk. Consistent with the notion that future orientation is an important buffer of suicidal risk, among lonely students, those with high future orientation, compared to low future orientation, were found to report significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms and suicide ideation. Some implications of the present findings for studying both risk and protective factors associated with suicidal risk in young adults are discussed.

论新中国建立初期宗教界对宗教制度民主改革的贡献

中国宗教界素有自我革新和与中国共产党合作的传统,在党和国家的推动下,中国宗教界对旧中国宗教制度进行了全面的民主改革,克服了旧中国宗教所具有的半封建和半殖民地性质,开始了宗教与新中国和社会主义社会相适应的历程.改革后的中国宗教获得了新生,宗教界人士成了爱国统一战线的重要组成部分,广大信教群众成了新中国的一支重要建设力量.何虎生.中国人民大学党史系工作.     

一种有神的信仰是怎样建立起来的(三)

(三)讨论“人不信神,就会为所欲为,什么坏事都敢干”的观点“法轮大法”除了如上所述谈了许多神的问题外,还从道德的角度谈了一个信神的观点,看起来非常有道理,也非常容易得人心。摘录其中两段:“人之所以有道德规范,是因为人知道,做不好的事去不了天国还要下地狱会遭报应。人在约束自己不做坏事,维护人类的道德。……人不相信神的时候,大家想一想,就非常的可怕!人什么坏事都敢干,他认为谁也看不见,就干坏事……”“人不相信神,不是一个简单的问题,是人在毁灭着人的道德。人相信业力轮报,相信做好事有好报,做坏事有坏报、恶报,人干什么事情…     

器官移植的发展与资源分配的公平

器官移植技术是二十世纪医学史上最伟大的成就之一,使世界上数十万濒临死亡的病人获得新生.现在许多国家都开展了这项技术,由于器官供体的短缺使器官移植仍然是一种稀缺资源,又受到卫生资源分配的制约.而卫生资源的分配又要受到社会价值取向的影响.     

系列项目时间和空间信息学习的分组效应研究

运用顺序回忆方法考察分组对系列项目时间和空间信息学习的影响。包括两个实验,实验一考察简化时间上的分组,或事先告知被试分组规则的情况下,分组是否会有助于时间顺序信息的学习。结果发现,这两个操作对时间顺序信息学习的促进作用不显著。实验二考察了垂直维度上不同形式的分组对空间位置信息学习的影响。结果发现,不同的分组方式对空间位置信息学习所起的作用不同。本研究支持了时间和空间两类顺序信息学习的内在过程不同,不应该用同一理论机制进行解释。     

自尊对自我确认倾向的影响:来自人际选择的证据

采用改编后的“整体自尊问卷”和“交谈自尊问卷”筛选出整体自尊和交谈自尊高低不同的四组被试,通过模拟现实人际互动情境,在评价人对被试的交谈表现提供不同评价(肯定或否定)及表达不同交友态度(接受或排斥)的条件下,考察了整体自尊与特殊自尊对人际互动过程中自我确认倾向的影响,结果表明:(1)不论社交需求是否获得满足,即整体自尊是否得以维持,被试的自我确认倾向都只受特殊自尊的调节;(2)在社交需求和一致性需求同时获得满足,即整体自尊与特殊自尊均得以维持时,被试的自我确认倾向受整体自尊和特殊自尊的共同调节;(3)在社交需求和一致性需求未同时获得满足,即整体自尊和特殊自尊不能同时得以维持时,高整体自尊者的自我确认倾向受特殊自尊的调节,而低整体自尊者未表现出自我确认的倾向。     

The monocular-boundary-contour mechanism in binocular surface representation and suppression

Boundary contours are important for representing binocular surfaces, including those in binocular rivalry. Ooi and He (2006, Perception 35 581-603) showed that a half-image with a boundary contour defined by abutting gratings predominates in binocular rivalry. We investigated the monocular-boundary-contour mechanism using Kanizsa square-like rivalry displays. In experiment 1, the left half-image had a vertical illusory contour on the right edge while the right half-image had a vertical illusory contour on the left edge. The Kanizsa elements (discs and pacmen) were filled with a 135 degree grating and placed on a 45 degree-grating background. When fused, observers experienced a strong predominance for perceiving an illusory rectangle in front of four discs. But this percept was replaced by robust rivalry alternations when the stimulus was manipulated by (i) switching the half-images between eyes, (ii)relocating the pacmen in each half-image to form horizontal illusory contours, or (iii) placing the pacmen diagonally (thus eliminating each monocular illusory contour). Such robust rivalry alternations were similar to those experienced when a 135 degree-grating disc was in rivalry with a 135 degree-grating pacman alone on the 45 degree-grating background (experiment 2). Experiment 3 showed that the relatively stable illusory-rectangle percept in experiment 1 is affected by the alignment of the images in the two eyes, in a manner consistent with adherence to the occlusion constraint in binocular surface formation.     

Livin在小细胞肺癌中的表达及与Caspase-3相关性研究

为了探讨Livin蛋白在小细胞肺癌（SCLC）组织中的表达及与Caspase-3的关系,我们使用免疫组化法检测Livin和Caspase-3在30例SCLC及癌旁肺组织中的表达。结果显示,Livin在SCLC中表达明显高于正常组织（P〈0．01）,与TNM分期、淋巴结转移和肿瘤大小无关。Caspase-3在SCLC组织中表达明显下降（P〈0．01）,与Livin表达呈负相关。因此,Livin与Caspase-3的异常表达可能在SCLC癌变中起协调作用,并有望成为诊断和基因治疗的新靶点。
