Christian Participation and Creative Resistance: Reflecting on Luther's Two‐fold Governance in Muslim‐Majority Malaysia

How can Luther's contribution in theology and lessons arising from the Reformation have any relevance for Christians in Muslim‐majority Malaysia? In this article, I propose that a reflection on Luther's understanding of the so‐called “doctrine of two kingdoms”—better understood as God's two‐fold governance—offers a critical contribution that not only is relevant for the Malaysian Christian community, but also may have intercultural and interreligious implications for dialogue and engagement with the Muslim majority for interreligious solidarity and the common good.     

What is beautiful brings out what is good in you: The effect of facial attractiveness on individuals' honesty

This study tested whether the presence of an attractive face would influence individuals' honesty. In 2 experiments, 225 participants were asked to predict the outcome of computerised coin‐flips and to self‐report the accuracy of their predictions. Self‐reports were made in the presence of a facial photo of a female who had been rated before the experiment as high attractive, middle attractive or low attractive by other volunteers. Participants were rewarded based on their self‐reported (not actual) accuracy. The results showed that subjects tended to give more dishonest self‐reports when presented with middle or low attractive facial images than when presented with high attractive images, with self‐reported accuracy being significantly higher than the random level. The results of this study show that presented with an attractive face, subjects tend to engage in behaviours that conform to moral codes.     

Seeing the big picture: Broadening attention relieves sadness and depressed mood

We examined whether the broadened attentional scope would affect people's sad or depressed mood with two experiments, enlightened by the meaning of “seeing the big picture” and the broaden‐and‐build model. Experiment 1 (n = 164) is a laboratory‐based experiment, in which we manipulated the attentional scope by showing participants zoomed‐out or zoomed‐in scenes. In Experiment 2 (n = 44), we studied how depressed mood and positive and negative emotions were affected when participants watched distant versus proximal scenes for eight weeks in real life. Healthy participants in Experiment 1, who were induced to feel sad, could return to the baseline mood after having the broadened attention task but not after having the narrowed attention task, which indicated that immediate attention broadening manipulation could function as antidotes for the lingering effects of induced negative emotions. Participants with depressed mood in Experiment 2 showed reduced depressed mood, increased positive affect, and decreased negative affect after receiving attention broadening training compared to those receiving attention narrowing training. Our findings suggest a robust role of broadened attentional scope in relieving negative emotions and even mildly depressed mood in the long run.     

1993~2013年常驻高海拔地区军人心理健康状态的横断历史研究

研究为探索常驻高海拔地区军人心理健康水平如何随社会年代变迁而改变,运用了横断历史元分析的方法,对1993年至2013年38篇采用90项症状自评量表(SCL-90)的文献调查数据进行分析,考察了11454名常驻高海拔地区军人在该量表上9个因子得分随年代变化的趋势.结果发现:(1)SCL-90的7个因子均值与年代负相关,且不受期刊类型等的影响.20年来,7个因子下降了5%~15%不等.其中,强迫变化最大,抑郁、焦虑、人际敏感、偏执和精神病性均变化明显.这说明,常驻高海拔地区军人心理健康虽有所波动但整体水平逐步提升,变化幅度大致属于中等程度.(2)当年军费占GDP比值、居民消费水平指数与SCL-90部分因子均值负相关显著;5年前的居民消费水平指数与7个因子显著负相关.这说明,国防建设的经济投入和居民消费水平可能是影响常驻高海拔地区军人心理健康水平的重要因素.     

组织支持感对组织认同的影响:内部人身份感知和自尊的中介作用

检验了内部人身份感知(PIS)和基于组织的自尊(OBSE)在组织支持感(POS)对组织认同的影响过程中的角色和地位。采用多样本结构方程建模的方法,通过对中国2家企业的员工的问卷调查所获取的452份有效数据进行分析,结果表明:(1)POS对PIS和OBSE有直接的显著影响;(2)同时借助于PIS和OBSE的中介作用对组织认同产生间接的影响。     

交通事故伤幸存者与创伤后应激障碍

交通事故是目前导致创伤后应激障碍(posttraumatic stress disorder,PTSD)的主要原因之一,PTSD常常伴发其他精神障碍如焦虑、抑郁等,即使事故过去很长一段时间以后,症状仍然可能残留或复发,容易迁延形成慢性病程,给患者家庭及社会带来沉重的经济负担。本文综述了交通事故所致PTSD的流行病学、临床症状及影响因素、认知功能损伤、对患者生活质量的影响及对未来研究方向展望。     

口腔修复诊疗中人的审美形式感的产生

当前,医学美学作为技术美学涵盖下的一个分支,在口腔修复诊疗工作中,起着从未有过的重要作用.它以哲学的研究方法,运用艺术的手段,正自觉或不自觉地影响着口腔医护人员的工作.本文以口腔诊疗活动中形式美的审美为基点,讨论了几个有关的问题.

王玄览道教重玄美学思想简论

在道教美学思想的范畴里,“道”(有时又称为“玄”“一”)是其本体论的核心判断。“道”是一切美的根源与归宿,是修道之人获得宗教化审美体验的源泉。早期道教著名学者葛洪在其所著《抱朴子》中开宗明义地说:“玄者,自然之始祖,而万殊之大宗也,妙昧乎其深也,故能微焉;绵邈乎其远也,故能妙焉。”妙者,美也;玄即妙即玄即美。在道教哲学里,如何说明作为世界本原的“道”即是内在于万事万物中的本体之“道”,一直是一大难题。这个问题在美学上同样不能避免。作为美的本原的道与作为美的本体之道如何即二即一,即沟通美的本原与美的本体,使作为最…     

20世纪唐文研究回顾与反思

唐代是中国散文发展过程中的重要时期。2 0世纪的唐文研究,走过了百年艰难探索的漫长历程,有着明显的发展阶段,唐文研究也取得了令人注目的成就,但与唐诗研究相比较、与唐文的丰厚遗存相比较,仍然是唐代文学研究中的一个弱点,存在着许多问题。本文对百年唐文研究作一简要回顾与反思,按其发展阶段进行分析总结,并探讨造成唐文研究滞后的原因,以期有助于唐文研究的进一步深化
