中国儿童和青少年肤色色度的测定

采用色差测色计对548名3—17岁的中国儿童和青少年进行了脸颊部肤色色度测定,分别测出X、Y、Z三刺激值及x、y色度坐标。结果表明:中国儿童和青少年的平均肤色色度值为x=0,3828,y=0.3454;反射率为26.02%;主波长为590.2nm;刺激纯度(Pe)为27.4%。女性的反射率略高于男性,反射率有随着年龄增长而逐步下降的趋势。男性的肤色刺激纯度则略高于女性,饱和度随着年龄增长而有逐步增大的趋势。中国儿童和青少年的结果和成年人的比较,反射率较之成年人高3%左右,饱和度则低4%左右,主波长则较长约0.9nm。     

Constraints on classificatory skills in young children.

On three occasions over a one-year period 23 children aged 3-4 were asked to match target objects with other objects which were similar to the target in shape or in colour but not in both. A sequence of matches to each target was asked for. The structure of these sequences is examined for evidence of classifacatory abilities. Many subjects appear to be attempting (not always successfully) to follow a strategy of 'holding fast' to their original choice of matching criterion (colour or shape) on subsequent trials. The striking differences between performance after a first-trial colour-match and after a first-trial shape-match are described. It is argued that development during this period involves an increasing ability to ignore the more salient attribute (shape) when matching by colour. The general developmental significance is discussed.     

过去时间的心理结构

４０８名大学生被试用秒、分、小时、日、星期、年和月７个时间单位和模糊统计试验方法对４０个不定的过去时间修饰词作经验赋值,结果显示：（１）过去时间和未来时间在心理结构上是对称的,分为三个心理时间段,即以秒和分为计时单位的“较近的过去”和“较近的未来”,以小时、日和月为计时单位的“近的过去”和“近的未来”,和以年为计时单位的“远的过去”和“远的未来”。（２）随着时间修饰词的词义离现在由近至远,其词义地     

海德格尔《哲学论稿》译名讨论

在《哲学论稿（从本有而来）》（《全集》第65卷）中,海德格尔尝试了艰苦的思与言的改造工作,意在从非形而上学意义上重解“存有／本有”（Seyn／Ereignis）问题。本文根据作者对德文原著的初步解读和翻译,并参照英文译本“英译者前言”中的译名分析,讨论了《哲学论稿》中八组基本词语,主要涉及Ereignis,Sein,Wesen,Werfen,Gr—und,Bergen,Besinnung,RUcken等词语以及相关的词族,并且提出了作者对于这些基本词语的汉译建议。原来文后附有由作者制作的“《哲学论稿》德一英一中译名对照表”,但因篇幅有限,不在这里刊登了,而是登载在《世界哲学》的网站上,有兴趣的读者请登陆我们的网站：www．worldphilosophy．cn。     

峱山散议

峱山之名,一字专用,可与齐鲁之岱嶽与峄类比;初见于春秋早期《诗经.齐风.还》,后则继见于《汉书.地理志》、《说文》以及《隋书.地理志》;再后或鲜见于地方志乘与明清文人吟咏之篇什。峱山位于淄河岸畔,南近青州古城,北偪临淄齐都,地处齐文化之核心,虽仅一山,然文化内涵却极为丰富。     

When ignorance is no excuse: Different roles for intent across moral domains

A key factor in legal and moral judgments is intent. Intent differentiates, for instance, murder from manslaughter. Is this true for all moral judgments? People deliver moral judgments of many kinds of actions, including harmful actions (e.g., assault) and purity violations (e.g., incest, consuming taboo substances). We show that intent is a key factor for moral judgments of harm, but less of a factor for purity violations. Based on the agent’s innocent intent, participants judged accidental harms less morally wrong than accidental incest; based on the agent’s guilty intent, participants judged failed attempts to harm more morally wrong than failed attempts to commit incest. These patterns were specific to moral judgments versus judgments of the agent’s control, knowledge, or intent, the action’s overall emotional salience, or participants’ ratings of disgust. The current results therefore reveal distinct cognitive signatures of distinct moral domains, and may inform the distinct functional roles of moral norms.
