Employees’ perception of diversity management practices: scale development and validation

Scholars and practitioners are paying increasing attention to diversity management (DM). Despite this increase and an expanding literature, there exists a lack of psychometrically sound scales to measure DM practices and none that capture employees’ perception of DM practices (EPDMP). This dearth in literature has thus hindered DM research. To fill the gap, in the present paper, using a qualitative study and 3 quantitative studies in a sample of 590 employees across various sectors in the UK, a 9-item uni-dimensional EPDMP scale is developed and validated. Results from content adequacy, reliability, convergent, discriminant, nomological and incremental predictive validity assessments provide support for the measures use in diagnostic and theory testing efforts. This paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for theory, management practice and future research.     

论性爱的伦理原则

性虽然体现的是人的生物本能,但人类之性毕竟不同于纯粹的动物之性,其特殊性就在于人的社会属性赋予了人类之性以理性精神。依靠这种理性精神,人类为自身之性建构了行为的伦理原则:性爱统一原则、平等自愿原则、无伤害性原则、权利对等原则、责任承担原则等。这些伦理原则不仅帮助人类找到了性的行为尺度,而且还帮助人类在最终意义上超越了动物。     

3~9岁儿童气质类型研究

采用聚类的方法对744名3~9岁儿童的教师评定问卷进行分析,发现儿童气质可以归为五种类型：活跃型、专注型、抑制型、均衡型和敏捷型。进一步采用纵向观察、个案分析、家长访谈等方法对130名儿童进行短时距追踪研究,归纳出五种类型的儿童具体行为特点。     

明尼苏达多相人格调查表的因子分析研究

本文介绍了我们用因子分析的方法,对MMPI在北京地区两大精神病院和部分正常人中进行的研究,证明了MMPI在精神科临床和不同性别、不同文化程度的正常人中具有十分近似的因子结构,具有良好的结构效度。本研究得到的因子结构与美国等国家报道的因子结构十分近似,提示MMPI可以对不同文化的民族和国家的人们具有的一些共同的人格维度进行有效的测量。最后用因子分析的结果建立了六个人格因子量表,方便了MMPI的解释工作。     

Information dissemination in early childhood education

Trends and issues in the dissemination of knowledge are discussed in terms of current trends. The general trends include the rapid rate at which new journals and documents are produced and increasing specialization in the field. Among the issues discussed are the optimum information hypothesis, optimum conceptual size of information, vividness and propitiousness of the information, and orientations to knowledge of subcultures within a professional field. The field of early childhood education is used as the example of each trend and issue. Lilian G. Katz is Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) where she is also Director of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education. She is currently President of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Professor Katz is author of more than one hundred articles, chapters, and books about early childhood, teacher education, and parenting. Her most recent book isEngaging Children’s Minds: The Project Approach (with Sylvia Chard).     

主观幸福感与文化的关系研究综述

西方研究者建立了四个文化模型来解决主观幸福感的文化普遍性和特殊性的争议。遗憾的是,现有的模型各执一端。实证研究也偏重于幸福感的文化特殊性研究。近年来,国内开始重视主观幸福感的跨文化研究,并发现了幸福感的中西差异。未来研究的重点是整合有关理论,解决文化争议,采取主位研究策略,提高实证研究的效度。     

Type D personality,illness perception,social support and quality of life in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients

The previous studies reported Type D was associated with poor quality of life (QoL), increased psychological distress, and impaired health status in cardiac patients. The aim of this study is to assess the relationships among Type D personality, illness perception, social support, and investigate the impact of Type D personality on QoL in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Type D personality was assessed by the Chinese 14-item Type D Personality Scale (DS14). Illness perceptions were assessed using the Chinese version of the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ). Social support status was assessed by the well-validated social support rating scale (SSRS). Patients’ QoL was assessed by using Medical Outcomes Short Form 36 (SF-36), respectively. The Type Ds had significantly lower objective support score (8.18 ± 2.56 vs. 9.67 ± 3.28, p = 0.0001), subjective support score (6.71 ± 2.0 vs. 7.62 ± 1.93, p = 0.0001) and utilization of social support score (6.76 ± 2.0 vs. 7.61 ± 1.94, p = 0.0001) than that of the non-type Ds. Type Ds believed their illness had much more serious consequences (7.67 ± 2.64 vs. 6.27 ± 3.45, p < 0.001), and experience much more symptoms that they attributed to their illness (6.65 ± 2.54 vs. 7.31 ± 2.36, p = 0.023). Significant differences were found between Type Ds and non-Type Ds in PCS (40.53 ± 6.42 vs. 48.54 ± 6.21 p < 0.001) and MCS (41.7 1 ± 10.20 vs. 46.35 ± 9.31, p = 0.012). The correlation analysis demonstrated that Type D was negatively associated with physical component score (PCS) (r = –0.29, p < 0.01), mental component score (MCS) (r = –0.31, p < 0.01), and social support (r = –0.24, p < 0.001). Using multiple linear regression analysis, we found that Type D personality was independently associated with PCS (β = –0.32, p < 0.001) and MCS (β = –0.24, p < 0.001). Type D personality was a predictor of poor QoL in CAPD patients. The current study is the first to identify a strong association among Type D, illness perceptions, social support and QoL in CAPD patients. The worse illness perceptions and lower social support level therefore represent possible mechanisms to explain the link between Type D and poor QoL in CAPD patients.     

连贯阅读中文本表征的意识性研究

采用独立记得-知道范式(IRK)和加工分离范式(PDP)探讨连贯阅读中文本表征的意识性问题。实验1使用独立记得-知道范式(IRK),分析被试对再认项目判断为“记得”或“知道”的比例（击中率）;实验2使用加工分离范式(PDP),分析被试在包含、排斥测验中的击中率和虚报率。总的实验结果表明,在连贯阅读中,命题表征的建构是无意识的,情境模型的建构也是无意识的,该结果支持和完善了文本阅读双加工理论。     

朱熹道德修养思想简论

朱熹是南宋著名的思想家、教育家,理学的集大成者,其思想在中国思想史上占有十分重要的地位。朱熹十分重视个体道德修养,主张每一个人都应当"明义理以修其身"方能造就自己良好的内在品性。在个体应该如何"以德修身"方面,朱熹提出了"居敬"、"穷理"、"自省"、"渐进"、"重行"的道德修养论,对后世产生了深远的影响。
