企业员工工作-家庭冲突对工作和生活满意度的影响——大五人格的调节作用检验

为了考察工作-家庭冲突对工作满意度和生活满意度的影响,以及人格在其中的调节作用,利用工作-家庭冲突量表、大五人格量表、工作满意度和生活满意度量表对870名被试进行施测.结果:工作干涉家庭和家庭下涉工作对生活满意度存在显著预测作用,且呈显著负相关;但对工作满意度都没有直接影响.大五人格在其中具有凋节作用.     

褒贬义形容词的垂直方位表征

语义的认知表征是认知心理学的一个经典问题.本研究探讨形容词的褒贬义判别与空间上下方位的关系.实验一采用空间Stroop范式,发现:当形容词的褒贬义与其空间位置之间的关系与上-下意象图式相符时,褒贬判别反应时显著短;实验二采用引导范式,发现:当形容词的褒贬义与目标字母的方位符合上-下意象图式时,目标辨别反应时显著短.研究表明:对褒贬义形容词的认知加工激活上-下意象图式,词的褒贬义表征具有垂直方位属性.     

4～6岁幼儿相似性判断与类别判断的知识效应

采用类别知识的分类学习模式,选取72名4-6岁幼儿作为被试,对相似性判断和类别判断的知识效应进行实验研究。结果表明：（1）相似性判断和类别判断存在知识效应。（2）相似性判断的知识效应存在显著的年龄差异,类别判断的知识效应不存在显著的年龄差异;5岁是知识学习对幼儿相似性判断产生影响的关键时期。（3）相似性判断知识效应的性别差异不显著,类别判断知识效应的性别差异极其显著,男孩更倾向于依据学习概念所强调的属性进行类别判断。

企业人力资源管理专业人员的伦理困境与对策

企业人力资源管理专业人员在工作中不可避免地会遇到正确传递与误传诱导之间的区分、企业伦理和职业伦理的冲突、企业利益与雇员利益的平衡、保持隐私与管理需要之间的冲突等四大伦理困境.其直接原因是专业人员工作角色缺乏清晰界定,深层次的原因是专业人员不能有效平衡个体、企业和职业三层面上的伦理标准.而且这种平衡能力的匮乏通过角色多元化得以扩大.另外,外在环境的变化也加剧了专业人员协调的难度.挑选优秀人才,重视价值观的匹配;加强企业伦理制度化建设;提供伦理培训;激励高管道德行为;遵守法律法规,是人力资源管理专业人员走出伦理困境的对策.     

公民美德:特征及其意义

公民身份的政治和公共特性决定了公民美德不仅是一种政治美德,它还是公民个体在社会公共生活中应该具备的具有示范意义的公共性美德.政治性与公共性是公民美德的基本特性.作为一种身份美德,公民美德能够使个体以公民之立场理解并参与公共事务,创造并服务于公共利益,支持个体完成公民分内之事,从而自觉地维系公民身份,并确保公民所属政治共同体之发展与凝聚.     

Psychosocial Well-being of Children in HIV/AIDS-Affected Families in Southwest China: A Qualitative Study

We investigated the psychosocial well-being of children in HIV/AIDS-affected families in rural China from the child’s and caregiver’s perspectives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among children living in HIV/AIDS-affected families (n = 16), their caregivers (n = 16) and key community informants (n = 5). Our findings showed that all of the children relied heavily on caregivers and peers to gain psychological support. Children’s psychosocial problems included fear, anxiety, grief, and loss of self-esteem and confidence. Stigma towards children existed, including isolation, ignorance and rejection. Our study illustrates that HIV/AIDS has impacted negatively on the psychosocial well-being of children. These findings can be used as preliminary data supporting more researches to profoundly explore the psychosocial impact of HIV/AIDS on children and appropriately indicate the need for interventions.     

Support vector machine for classification of walking conditions of persons after stroke with dropped foot

Walking with dropped foot represents a major gait disorder, which is observed in hemiparetic persons after stroke. This study explores the use of support vector machine (SVMs) to classify different walking conditions for hemiparetic subjects. Seven participants with dropped foot (category 4 of functional ambulatory category) walked in five different conditions: level ground, stair ascent, stair descent, upslope, and downslope. The kinematic data were measured by two portable sensor units, each comprising an accelerometer and gyroscope attached to the lower limb on the shank and foot segments. The overall classification accuracy of stair ascent, stair descent, and other walking conditions was 92.9% using input features from the sensor attached to the shank. It was further improved to 97.5% by adding two more inputs from the sensor attached to the foot. Stair ascent was also classified by the inputs from the foot sensor unit with 96% accuracy. The performance of an SVM was shown to be superior to that of other machine learning methods using artificial neural networks (ANN) and radial basis function neural networks (RBF). The results suggested that the SVM classification method could be applied as a tool for pathological gait analysis, pattern recognition, control signals in functional electrical stimulation (FES) and rehabilitation robot, as well as activity monitoring during rehabilitation of daily activities.     

Costs and benefits of cultural value mismatch in the globalising era: A commentary on the special issue “cross-cultural value mismatch: A by-product of migration and population diversity around the world” (IJP,December, 2018)

In this commentary, the author first seeks to counterbalance the current focus on the cost of cultural value mismatch by calling attention to ample evidence in the literature that value mismatch can produce cultural adaptation and resilience in the long run, besides promoting cultural innovations and individual creativity. Second, we propose three factors that differentiate the benefits from the costs of cultural value mismatch. Personal orientation towards integrating heritage and host culture, accurate perception of cultural value differences, and supportive multicultural environments are associated with benefits. In contrast, dichotomous orientation towards one or the other culture, exaggeration of value differences between heritage and host culture, and assimilationist social environments are associated with costs. Third, our analysis of the decoupling between cultural values and ecological niches in the special issue led to observation of bidirectionality in cultural value mismatch: Whereas most articles in the Special Issue focus on the cross-cultural value mismatch that occurs when people move from a more rural, low-resource, less technological ecology into a more urban, high-resource, more technological ecology, we were able to document the effects of value mismatch when movement occurs in the opposite direction.
