在庆祝四川大学老子研究院成立大会上的讲话

各位领导、各位道长,各位专家学者、各位来宾、各位同学: 首先,我热烈祝贺四川大学老子研究院在今天正式挂牌成立,这对于学术界和道教界来说,都是一件具有非常重大意义的大事,也是一件十分令人高兴的大事,值得祝贺!     

Focus as a contextual priming mechanism in reading

In two experiments, we found that readers are sensitive to manipulations of syntactically marked focus and that focus is an effective message level contextual priming mechanism. Changes in focus resulted in changes in sentence context effects on subsequent target word processing. This was demonstrated in latency to name the target word (Experiment 1) and in initial looking time on the target in silent reading (Experiment 2). Experiment 2 also revealed direct effects on the focused items, as readers made fewer regressions and spent less total time on a word that was focused than when it was not focused. However, no initial processing time effects were found on the focused word.     

One size doesn’t fit all: the influence of supervisors’ power tactics and subordinates’ need for cognitive closure on burnout and stress

The present research investigated the notion of fit between supervisors’ power tactics and subordinates’ need for cognitive closure (NFCC) on subordinates’ burnout and stress. Subordinates who tend to avoid ambiguity (high NFCC) were expected to experience relatively less burnout (Study 1) and stress (Study 2) if their supervisors utilize harsh (controlling and unequivocal) power tactics and more burnout and stress if their supervisors utilize soft (autonomy-supportive and equivocal) power tactics. In contrast, it was expected that subordinates who avoid firm and binding conclusions (low NFCC) would experience relatively less burnout and stress if their supervisors use soft power tactics and more burnout and stress if they use harsh power tactics. Two studies conducted in diverse organizational settings supported these hypotheses. Collectively, these results support the conclusion that soft (vs. harsh) power tactics are not always associated with better (vs. worse) organizational outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications for organizations are discussed.     

再探框架对风险决策行为的影响

期望理论运用Ｓ状的价值函数和非线性的权重函数来解释和预测框架效应。“齐当别”抉择模型将不同框架下的抉择行为简单地看成是“最好可能结果之间的取舍”或者“最坏可能结果之间的取舍”。本研究设计了一“匹配”技术,并用此对作者所报告过的支持框架效应与不支持框架效应的选择问题加以再检验。实验表明,采用不同的框架并不能预测性地决定不同的抉择偏爱,而匹配结果所示的“齐当别”策略则能更好地对所收集到的有关框架效应的数据作出解释。     

论医疗行为中的“可容性危险”原则

对合法的医疗行为进行认定,分析医疗的局限性和社会认知差异,认为在医疗活动中,为谋求对疾病认识,应允许医疗活动带有危险性。对可容性危险原则进行法理分析,结合实际案例,分析医疗行为中的“可容性危险”原则的运用以及司法界对该原则的认知。     

阅读中自然学习生词的实验研究

本研究对儿童阅读时从语境中自然学习生词的过程及其多个影响因素进行了探讨。301名三、五年级小学生参加了实验。首先要求他们阅读文章,然后测验他们对文章中生词的知识。本研究在不同年级和能力的儿童中都发现了显著的自然学习效应。结果还表明,词的概念难度、词结构的语义透明度、语境线索强度和儿童课外阅读量对儿童的自然学习有重要影响。     

说"道术将为天下裂"

《庄子·天下》术"的转变,实质上就是学术由"混沌"状态向细化状态的发展进化,也正对应了王官之学向诸子之学的转化.这是时代的进步,是学术发展的必然.上博简《曹沫之陈》为了解这一进程提供了一个实例.深入认识"道术将为天下裂"一语,不仅对于庄学研究有一定意义,而且对于认识《曹沫之陈》的性质和古代学术变化的实质都有较大的学术价值.
