Negative Emotions Felt During Trial: the Effect of Fear,Anger, and Sadness on Juror Decision Making

During trial, jurors may experience a variety of emotions, many of which are negative. The current study examined the effects the negative emotions anger, fear, and sadness had on jurors' sentencing decisions and explored whether the cognitive appraisal theory or the intuitive prosecutor model could explain these effects. Jurors viewed the sentencing phase of a capital murder trial and were asked to sentence the defendant. Results indicated that after viewing the trial, jurors reported increased anger and sadness, but not fear. However, only change in anger affected jurors' sentences. Jurors who reported a greater change in anger were more likely to sentence the defendant to death. This effect was mediated by the level of importance that jurors placed on the prosecution's evidence and argument. Consistent with the intuitive prosecutor model, increased anger led to higher ratings of the importance of the aggravating evidence and an increase in death sentences. Implications are discussed.

积极情绪对注意范围和思维活动序列的影响

为了探究积极情绪对注意范围和思维活动序列的影响,125个大学生参与两项实验,在每个实验中,随机安排不同性别的被试观看使人产生高兴、安宁、中性、悲伤、愤怒情绪的视频片段。实验1用整体-局部视觉加工任务测量被试的注意范围,实验2用一个含有20个句子的开放式问卷测量被试的思维活动序列。结果发现:积极情绪对注意范围的影响受到性别因素的影响,积极情绪拓宽女生的注意范围,缩小男生的注意范围;积极情绪拓宽思维活动序列,不存在性别差异。     

Buddha,being and the black forest 1

Abstract

While Martin Heidegger is commonly acknowledged as having a significant influence on contemporary philosophy and psychology, there have been comments made about his being a ‘closet Buddhist,’ and many of his later ideas are perceived as mystical. It is argued in this paper that this is because Heidegger is usually understood through a Western framework, whereas many of his later ideas move closer to Eastern thinking.

This paper revisits Heidegger via Buddhism. It examines important parallels and differences between Heideggerian and Buddhist ideas, such as “openness” and “non‐self,” “letting be” and “letting go,” “fourfold” and “inter‐relatedness. This comparison is undertaken against the backdrop of Medard Boss's psychotherapy, daseinsanalysis (Existential Analysis), which Heidegger engaged with extensively. Overall, the analysis illuminates the pragmatics and psychological underpinnings of Heideggerian and Buddhist philosophy, and elucidates the contributions that this understanding can make to contemporary psychology.     

大学生社会适应性问卷的初步编制

在理论分析的基础上,结合国内外的研究成果,通过探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析,编制大学生社会适应性问卷。结果发现,(1)问卷由自我调节、自我评价、学习管理、就业准备、人际交往、角色适应六个分量表构成。(2)各分量表及问卷的a系数分别为0.859、0.847、0.826、0.742、0.751、0.757、0.902。(3)验证性因素分析所提取的6个因子构建的模型拟合较好。问卷具有较好的信度和效度,可以用于大学生社会适应性的测量。     

论中国近现代的文化激进主义

“文化自由主义”与“文化激进主义”在内涵外延上有诸多交叉重叠,因此可以合并为一个概念。中国近现代语境中的“文化激进主义”主要指“西化主义”和“反传统主义”,但由于西化和反传统的程度不同,又可以区分为“萌芽的文化激进主义”、“温和的文化激进主义”和“典型的文化激进主义”。本文尝试对这些不同层面或类型的文化激进主义进行爬梳和厘析。     

EFFECTS OF RELAXATION TRAINING ON PULMONARY MECHANICS IN CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA1

An experiment, designed to overcome shortcomings in previous work, was conducted to investigate the potential symptomatic benefits of relaxation training in the treatment of asthma in children. Fourteen chronic, severely asthmatic children received three sessions in which they rested quietly, followed by five sessions of relaxation training, and finally three sessions of relaxing as trained previously. Pulmonary function was assessed, in a manner far more definitive than in previous studies, before and after each session, and three additional times at 30-minute intervals thereafter. Tension in the frontales muscles, heart and respiration rates, and skin temperature and conductance were also monitored. Heart rate and to some extent muscle tension results tended to confirm the attainment of relaxed states. However, the lung function results failed to substantiate the previous, preliminary findings of a clinically meaningful change in pulmonary function following relaxation. The status of relaxation in the treatment of asthma was discussed.
