The paper explores the impact of two largely overlooked factors which sustained and reconfirmed the disparaging images American Protestants harboured towards Islam, particularly those which prefigured and informed the perceptions New England missionaries carried over with them in their efforts to evangelize the Orient and the Levant. First, America's encounter with the Barbary States of North Africa at the turn of the nineteenth century, are considered. Second, the life and thought of Henry H. Jessup, a leading missionary in the Levant, is examined as illustrative evidence of the reports and impressions relayed back by the missionaries themselves. 相似文献

The meaning of life is never straight to us humans. At different turns of life, we perceive different meanings that are offered to us by our own lives. Near one’s death, professional disaster, enmity, family suffering, and fears for life all have their own dimensions. Nevertheless, when summing up, they seem to revolve around the same central themes again and again. In this article, we tried to offer the insights that we found from some very significant and traumatic events of our own lives through the spectacles of our theory—“Death and Adjustment Hypotheses.” Our life is always important; so is our peace and safety. But when we lose our values, we lose everything. It is often that we try to live through our offspring; however, it is our morality and humane values that can ultimately save them from the traumas of life and see them meaningfully through life and death as transcendental beings. 相似文献

A unique dimension of employee efficiency is reported in this paper. Sexuality in the work place, as well as rendezvous and romance in this context, have already received some attention from researchers but the topic is underexplored, most probably due to differences between Western culture and Asian culture. The primary focus of the study was to investigate the role played by religion in determining an employee’s sexual behavior, and in asking them to act within certain limits? The socio-economic circumstances, norms, customs, and obsession with social status that lead to delayed marriages push people into a corner, leaving them with the possible option of religiously forbidden actions where sexual desire is concerned. After indulging in such actions, regret and remorse create sexual frustration in employees, and this sexual frustration compromises their efficiency in the workplace. Ordinal regression and manipulations in syntax of ordinal regression were used to measure this concept. The study revealed that religiously forbidden actions and sexual frustration significantly diminishes the efficiency of some employees, whereas married and female employees are less sexually frustrated and thus are more efficient in the workplace. 相似文献

ABSTRACTOne of the cornerstones of the ecological stance in psychology is the compatibility, or symmetry, between animal and environment. In this article, it is argued that a first principles reevaluation of the dynamical systems that structure the information signals animals live through is an important step in understanding how compatibility is possible. What is especially important is how environmental properties are encoded by dynamical laws into the information signals of the environment and how these signals can reveal environmental properties. It is argued that that compatibility is not just 2-way compatibility between animal and environment but also 3-way compatibility of environmental, sensory, and perceptual systems. The argument is illustrated using a conceptual exegesis of 2 dynamical systems, Newtonian mechanics and Webster's acoustic horn equation. The discussion of the latter equation is accompanied by the extraction of articulatory information from speech signals of 50 speakers. It is believed that the work presented here further develops the theory of ecological psychology as well as its specific application to speech perception pioneered by Carol Fowler. 相似文献

Psychological factors have been found to impact the pain experience and associated sexual impairment of women suffering from provoked vestibulodynia (PV). Despite a lack of randomized treatment outcome studies, particularly concerning psychological predictors of outcome, recent studies have shown that topical applications and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are among the most popular first-line interventions for PV. The present study aimed to determine the extent to which baseline fear-avoidance variables and pain self-efficacy were differentially associated with topical application and CBT outcomes at six-month follow-up. Data were obtained from 97 women who completed a randomized trial comparing these two treatments. Regression analyses revealed that for topical treatment, higher levels of baseline avoidance predicted worse pain and sexual functioning outcomes, whereas higher levels of pain self-efficacy predicted better outcomes. For CBT, higher levels of baseline fear of pain and catastrophizing contributed to higher pain intensity at follow-up, whereas higher levels of pain self-efficacy were associated with less pain. Psychological factors did not predict sexual functioning outcomes for CBT. Consistent with biopsychosocial models of pain and sexual dysfunction, results indicate that psychological factors contribute to pain and sexual impairment following treatment for PV. Specifically, findings suggest that fear-avoidance variables and pain self-efficacy are significant predictors of topical and CBT treatment outcomes in women with PV. 相似文献

We examined, first, how prenatal maternal mental health and war trauma predicted mothers’ experience of their infant crying, indicated by emotions, cognitions, and behavior; and second, how these experiences influenced the mother–infant interaction and infant development. Participants were 511 Palestinian mothers from the Gaza Strip, reporting their war trauma, symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and perceived stress during pregnancy (Time 1). They reported experiences of infant crying at 4 months (Time 2), and the mother–infant interaction and infant sensorimotor and language development at 12 months of infants’ age (Time 3). Results revealed that maternal mental health problems, but not war trauma, were important to experiences of infant crying. A high level of PTSD symptoms predicted negative emotions evoked by infant crying, and high depressive symptoms predicted low active and positive responses to crying. Unexpectedly, high prenatal perceived stress predicted high active and positive responsiveness. Concerning the consequences, mothers’ sensitive interpretation of infant crying predicted optimal infant sensorimotor development, and mothers’ active and positive responses predicted high emotional availability in mother–infant interaction. Crying is the first communication tool for infants, and mothers’ sensitive responses to crying contribute to infant well-being. Therefore, reinforcing mother's optimal responses is important when helping war-affected dyads. 相似文献
