象似性和手语学习经验对中国手语-汉语跨模态语义启动效应的影响

采用启动条件下的词汇判断任务,考察熟练手语使用者和无手语经验成年听人的跨模态语义启动效应。结果发现：1)在象似词条件下,两组被试判断汉语语义相关词的反应时均快于语义无关词,说明手语象似词和汉语词之间存在跨模态语义启动效应。2)在非象似词条件下,仅手语熟练被试判断汉语语义相关词的反应时快于语义无关词,无手语经验被试判断汉语语义相关词和无关词的速度没有差异。这是由于前者心理词库中的手语词和口语词共享语义表征,而后者主要依赖手语象似词的视觉模拟性。整个研究表明,中国手语和汉语间存在跨模态语义启动效应,但该效应受到手语词象似性和手语学习经历的调节。     

感知易用性会影响网络游戏中虚拟商品的使用意愿么?——感知有用性和玩家神经质的作用

基于技术接受模型考察了网络游戏中虚拟商品感知易用性对其使用意愿的影响,以及感知有用性、玩家神经质在其中的作用。采用虚拟商品使用意愿问卷、感知易用性问卷、感知有用性问卷和大五人格量表神经质分量表对559名有过网络游戏经验的大学生进行调查。结果显示:(1)虚拟商品的感知易用性可显著正向预测使用意愿;感知有用性在两者间起中介作用;(2)虚拟商品感知有用性的中介作用受到玩家神经质的调节:对于低神经质的玩家,该间接效应显著;而对于高神经质的玩家,该间接效应不显著。

Dover官司背后的背后

2005年12月21日CCTV的一条新闻说,美国宾夕法尼亚州联邦地区法院20日作出裁决,发生在该州哈里斯伯格(Harrisburg)状告Dover学区学校当局在学校传授“智能设计论(intelligent de-sign)”违宪的学生家长胜诉。Dover学区的校区有3500名中学生,是美国第一个让学生接触“智创论”的学校。“智创论”认为地球上的生命是一种未经证实的智慧力量所创造的产物。“智创论”者说,“智能设计”是一个科学理论,一些自然现象是智能设计的结果,而非自然选择造成的。学校当局说,达尔文的“进化论”是一种假说和理论,而不是事实,把“智创论”提供给学生只…     

民国《弘法社刊》的办刊定位及其作用

<正>近现代佛教报刊的兴办,被认为是佛教复兴的一大标志。目前为止,出版总数虽难以确定,"但很有特色,主要表现为数量多、参与面广、内容繁杂、有个性,反映了佛教界各种不同势力和不同组织的要求"^[1]。民国的佛教界,可以概括为改革与保守两大阵营,"这一新旧之争持续了整个近代佛教史,并极大地影响了中国近代佛教的发展态势"^[2]。以太虚及其追随者为新派,而冶开、圆瑛等皆为旧派。双方争论的一个主要形式,就是通过各自主导的报刊展开论战。但是因为报刊本身就是新事物,是革新派愿意接受与喜欢使用的新工具,所以就力量对比而言,     

孔子的诚信思想及其社会意义

在孔子思想中,诚信作为一项重要的道德规范,在社会生活的诸多领域发挥着重要作用。就每一个人而言,它是人自身安身立命、成就事业的基础和条件;就人们之间的关系而言,它是人与人之间正常交往、友好相处、建立良好人际关系的重要纽带;就经济和商业活动而言,它是降低成本、提高效益、保障其健康有序运行的前提;就社会政治领域而言,它是基本的立国立民之道,是一个社会文明繁荣、稳定发展的重要保证。今天,在诸多生活领域出现所谓“信用危机”的情况下,批判地继承和弘扬孔子的诚信思想,深入挖掘传统诚信资源,确立诚信观念,对于和谐的人际关系的建立,对于克服经济活动、人际交往和政府行为中的信用危机和失信现象,对于实现社会风气的根本好转,都有着极为重要的意义。     

Collaboration and Memory: Effects of Dyadic Retrieval on Different Memory Tasks

Collaborative retrieval was investigated in two experiments. The experiments were explicitly designed to investigate how different types of memory tasks were affected by two individuals working together compared to individuals working on their own. A nominal group score was treated as the predicted potential a dyad could attain. In Experiment 1, semantic and episodic retrieval were employed. The episodic task was to encode and retrieve a story and the semantic task was to answer, without any encoding, 20 questions from the same history domain as the episodic task. In Experiment 2, explicit recognition and implicit retrieval of dot patterns were employed. The explicit recognition task was forced-choice, and in the implicit task, subjects were instructed to complete a pattern they saw from an incomplete pattern. The results suggest that: (1) dyads suffer from collaboration relative to the predicted potential, (2) the reduction of productivity for dyads was limited to explicit and episodic memory tasks, and (3) friends as opposed to non-friends reduced the negative effect of collaboration. The results replicate and extend the results from a previous study.     

Citizen Advocacy Observed: Tool or Tokenism?

Citizen advocacy, where a volunteer works in partnership with a vulnerable person, compliments self- and legal advocacy. In the context of mental health services, citizen advocacy is a tool for enabling and empowering people who use these services, and is founded on the recognition that mental health service users are frequently socially oppressed and disadvantaged. This article describes the development of a Citizen Advocacy service for people with mental health difficulties, and also the problems they brought to this service. The problems encountered in sustaining the service are noted and lessons are drawn for the future.     

Letter Therapy: A Model for Enhancing Counseling Intervention

Based on 15 letters between a counselor and a female client, this article outlines and discusses a unique letter therapy process, which is loosely adapted from the Morita Therapy approach to counseling. The five-step Letter therapy approach consists of 1) opening up, 2) focusing on life themes, 3) redirecting toward strengths, 4) reinforcing actions, and 5) affirming a positive attitude toward life. Letter writing has the potential of being used by counselors either in conjunction with face-to-face counseling or as a separate therapeutic method.
