Work, family and life-course fit: Does control over work time matter?

This study moves from “work-family” to a multi-dimensional “life-course fit” construct (employees’ cognitive assessments of resources, resource deficits, and resource demands), using a combined work-family, demands-control and ecology of the life course framing. It examined (1) impacts of job and home ecological systems on fit dimensions, and (2) whether control over work time predicted and mediated life-course fit outcomes. Using cluster analysis of survey data on a sample of 917 white-collar employees from Best Buy headquarters, we identified four job ecologies (corresponding to the job demands-job control model) and five home ecologies (theorizing an analogous home demands-home control model). Job and home ecologies predicted fit dimensions in an additive, not interactive, fashion. Employees’ work-time control predicted every life-course fit dimension and partially mediated effects of job ecologies, organizational tenure, and job category.     

Peak of desire: activating the mating goal changes life-stage preferences across living kinds

In three studies, we explored the existence of an evolved sensitivity to the peak that would be consistent with the evolutionary origins of many basic human preferences. Activating the evolved motive of mating activates related adaptive mechanisms, including a general sensitivity to cues of growth and decay associated with determining mate value in human courtship. These studies show that priming the mating goal also activates an evaluative bias that influences how people evaluate cues of growth. Specifically, living kinds that are immature or past their prime are devalued, whereas living kinds that are at their peak become increasingly valued. Study 1 establishes this goal-driven effect for human stimuli indirectly related to the mating goal. Studies 2 and 3 establish that the evaluative bias produced by the activated mating goal extends to living kinds, but not artifacts.     

先秦法家法治思想的衍变——以《管子》、《商君书》和《韩非子》为中心

中国的“法治”思想源远流长,始于先秦法家,从春秋时期的管仲提出“以法治国”的主张,到战国时期的商鞅治国重“法”,再到韩非“法术势”相结合的法治理论的构建,先秦法家的法治思想经历了一个从萌芽到发展再到成熟的衍变过程,但法家的法治思想始终没有脱出君主专制下“以法治国”的巢臼。     

不同时间的睡眠剥夺对执行功能的影响

睡眠剥夺在日常生活工作中广泛存在,执行功能指需要很多认知过程参与,以使操作优化的机制.目前有关睡眠剥夺对认知功能的影响关注于对执行功能的影响,但是尚没有不同时间睡眠剥夺后执行功能情况的研究,并且研究缺乏系统.本研究应用卡片分类测验、词汇流畅性测验究了32名青年男性在不同睡眠剥夺条件下(睡眠剥夺21h、睡眠剥夺45h、睡眠剥夺69h、正常对照组)的执行功能情况.结果表明:睡眠剥夺后执行功能下降,同剥夺时间有一定关系,45h后下降显著.     

小学攻击性男童的社会信息加工及表情知觉

为了探讨小学男童的攻击类型和其社会信息和表情识别特点,该研究抽取了808名小学生进行攻击性的教师评定和同伴评定.筛选出主动攻击11人、反应攻击11人、混合攻击27人,加由17名非攻击儿童组成的控制组,参加社会信息加工特点和表情识别特点实验.结果显示:(1)小学低年级攻击性儿童以混合性攻击为主,反应攻击和主动攻击所占比例较小;(2)高攻击性人群的攻击反应和愤怒反应较强,可是,不同类型之间的差异没有被检测出来;(3)在不同攻击类型中,主动攻击显示较强的敌意归因;(4)主动攻击对悲伤表情的辨认能力较低,反应攻击组对愤怒表情的辨认较弱.研究反映:攻击性儿童在社会信息加工和表情知觉能力上均存在一定的特点,而且,不同攻击类型之间也存在一定的差异.该研究对制定儿童攻击性干预计划具有一定指导意义.     

碰撞时间估计的影响因素研究

本研究采用遮挡范式,考察了专职公交车驾驶员对不同类型、速度和方向运动物体的碰撞时间(TTC)估计.结果发现,被试对不同类别和速度运动物体的TTC估计有显著差异.这表明,除了视觉信息和物理信息之外,运动物体的概念信息也是影响横向运动TTC估计的重要因素.     

解释水平和事件性质对活动设定时间距离的影响

以大学生为被试,设计两个实验,采用不同的解释水平操作,分别探讨"过去一未来"时间距离设定及.正性一负性"生活事件时间距离设定的解释水平效应,检验解释水平理论及其推论.结果表明:在未来和过去两个方向上,活动时问距离设定均存在显著的解释水平效应;而在过去活动时间距离设定上,事件性质和解释水平存在显著的交互效应:高解释水平与负性事件对应较远的时间距离,且不同解释水平的活动时间距离设定在负性事件上相差更大.     

论"观物"与"观无"——儒学与现象学的一种融通

In traditional Chinese expressions, guannian 观念 (ideas) are results of guan 观 (viewing). However, viewing can be understood to have two different levels of meanings: one is “viewing things,” that is, viewing with something to view; another is “viewing nothing,” that is, viewing with nothing to view. What are viewed in “viewing things” are either physical beings—all existing things and phenomena—or the metaphysical being (for example, the “Dao as a thing”). In both cases, something is being viewed. What is viewed in “viewing nothing” is the being itself, or “nothing,” in which there is nothing to view. According to Confucianism, the existence of “nothing” manifests itself as life sentiments, especially the sentiment of love, which is the very root and source of benevolence; moreover “viewing nothing” is, in essence, a perception of life. Life sentiments or the perception of life is “the thing itself ” prior to any being or any thing.

中晚唐时期四川地区的密教信仰

四川是唐代密教传播的重要地区,自盛中唐密宗兴盛以后,密教也随之大量流入四川.如成都僧人释惟上,闻其名而北上长安,从青龙寺著名僧人惠果学密,虢州僧洪照从大兴善寺惠则受五部灌顶,后又入川弘传密宗,为当地密教的发展奠定了基础.再加上一些佛教艺术家入蜀,图画密教题材,玄宗与僖宗避乱入蜀都带来了长安的佛教徒与诸多佛教艺术工匠,其中不乏密教成分,因此唐末四川一地之密教信仰也较为丰富.宿白先生等前辈学者已对石窟遗迹有过一些整理.笔者本文仅就僧徒入川传播密宗的情况以及蜀中密教信仰做一简单梳理,以有助于四川密教的研究.     

Treadmill exercise enhances passive avoidance learning in rats: the role of down-regulated serotonin system in the limbic system

While serotonin (5-HT) may impair learning and memory, exercise has been reported to improve them. Whether chronic exercise can facilitate fear memory via regulating the serotonin system is unknown. We examined the effects of 4-week treadmill exercise training on levels of 5-HT and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), the protein expression of its receptor 5-HT_1A and transporter in the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of male Sprague–Dawley rats. Our results demonstrated that treadmill exercise (1) improved the passive avoidance learning performance; (2) decreased the 5-HT level in the hippocampus; (3) decreased the expression of 5-HT_1A receptor in the amygdala without altering the transporter expression. Moreover, pretreatment with 0.1 mg/kg 8-hydroxy-di-n-propylamino tetralin, a selective 5-HT_1A receptor agonist, impaired the passive avoidance performance and completely abolished the exercise-enhanced fear memory. Our results suggest that down-regulation of the 5-HT system in the limbic system, i.e., the reduction of the hippocampus 5-HT content and the amygdala 5-HT_1A receptor expression, may be involved in the exercise-enhanced fear memory.
