自我-他人重叠及其相关概念辨析

在总结自我-他人重叠概念的提出历程、测量方法、结构, 以及常用改变方法的基础上, 通过辨析自我-他人重叠与关系自我、自我扩张之间的关系, 以及它和社会距离之间的异同, 明晰了自我-他人重叠的本质特点。自我-他人重叠是强调自己和他人具有相似表征的关系自我, 是个体在自我扩张动机的驱使下, 将他人的资源、观点和特质纳入自我的结果。未来可以借鉴关系自我神经机制的研究成果来探讨自我-他人重叠的神经机制, 还可以深入探讨过高的自我-他人重叠对亲密关系的消极作用。     

关于集体意向性问题

集体意向性是社会科学哲学中近年来讨论的一个热点议题,也是意向性理论的前沿课题.集体行为是一种与个体行为有本质区别的社会实在现象,完全通过个体行为和个体意向对它进行解释显然是不充分的.集体行为在本体论上具有不能被还原为个体行为的独特性质,如体育比赛、商业竞争、政治竞选等,它们不是个体行为的简单累积,其中成员的个体意向也不能像控制个体行为那样来支配集体行为.因此,很有必要引入集体意向性这一概念.     

Correlates of Academic Procrastination and Students’ Grade Goals

This study examined correlates of academic procrastination and students’ grade goals in a sample of 226 undergraduates from Singapore. Findings indicated that self-efficacy for self-regulated learning was significantly and negatively related to procrastination. High self-efficacy for self-regulated learning also predicted students’ expectations of doing well and low self-efficacy for self-regulated learning predicted students’ expectations of not doing well academically. Additionally, help-seeking predicted students’ expectations of doing well academically while academic stress predicted students’ expectations of not doing well academically. Implications for education and educational practice were discussed. This project was partially supported by the Undergraduate Research Experience on Campus (URECA) program from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.     

Chinese subject-relative clauses are more difficult to process than the object-relative clauses

This paper presents an experiment that compared high and low working memory span readers' abilities to process Chinese subject-relative and object-relative clause structures in a self-paced reading paradigm. Comprehension performance results indicated that the object-relative structure was easier to understand than the subject-relative structure. Reading time results showed that participants with low working memory span read the subject-relative structures more slowly than the object-relative structures, but there was no reading time difference for the high working memory span participants. The experiment provides further evidence that the Chinese subject-relative clause structure is more difficult to process than the Chinese object-relative clause structure, especially for low working memory span individuals. Furthermore, these results support a syntactic storage account of the observed complexity difference.     

The Viability of Confucian Transcendence: Grappling with T<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">u</Emphasis> Weiming’s Interpretation of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Zhongyong</Emphasis>

This essay assesses Tu Weiming’s notion of transcendence in terms both of its legitimacy as an interpretation of Confucianism and of its viability as an answer to modern challenges. An examination of Tu’s hermeneutical assumptions in his Zhongyong commentary leads to a discussion of his locating transcendence in the subjectivity of the junzi, the profound person. Calling the self-cultivation “self-knowledge,” Tu makes explicit the religious character of the xin, the basis of self-cultivation, and its transcendent character, because it is endowed from heaven. However, because the xin is irreducibly human, this transcendence is also immanentized. From the xin a fiduciary community is formed, hence the “covenantal” nature of Confucian religiousness. The essay ends with the question: Because Tu does not elaborate on cultivating a community’s intersubjectivity, does it make the realization of the transcendent xin a “deferred potentiality,” without mooring in the actual formation of human community?     

6～8岁儿童三种时间副词理解能力及策略的实验研究

采用定量与定性相结合的研究方法,对6～8岁儿童理解时间副词的能力进行了初步探查,结果表明：(1)不同年龄儿童对时间副词的理解能力不同。6岁和7岁儿童初步形成了对现在时间副词和过去时间副词的理解能力,萌发了对将来时间副词的理解能力;8岁儿童已具有了对现在时间副词和过去时间副词的理解能力,基本上具有了对将来时间副词的理解能力。(2)儿童在理解时间副词时多种策略并存。随着年龄的增长,有效策略的生成能力有了明显的提高,8岁儿童已有90％以上的人次能够使用有效策略。     

An improved screw-free method for electrode implantation and intracranial electroencephalographic recordings in mice

We recently developed a glue-based method for the implantation of intracranial electrodes in mice. Our approach is to secure a preconstructed electrode array using a cyanoacrylate-based glue (similar to Krazy Glue). This method is applicable to both young and aging mice and is suitable for long-term electroencephalographic recordings. In the present experiment, we explored whether the glue-based method is capable of securing individual electrodes in addition to securing the electrode array. C57 black mice aged 25–35 days or 13–19 months were operated on under isoflurane anesthesia. Monopolar or bipolar electrodes were inserted independently in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA3 and entorhinal cortical areas, and they were fixed onto the skull using the glue together with dental acrylic, but without anchoring screws. We found that the implanted electrodes were stable and allowed repeat intracranial recordings and electrical stimulation in freely moving mice.     

基诺族心理卫生考察十年随访

十年来,基诺族由贫穷走向富裕,由封闭走向开放,他们积极主动参与现代化的进程,社会安定。平均年犯罪率７／１０万;平均年自杀率９．６１／１０万;平均年离婚率１４／１０万。与国内其它地区调查结果相比,都在较低范围。神经官能症也很少见到。然而,酒滥用和酒依赖已逐渐成为一个值得注意的问题,嗜酒者日益增多。调查发现,病理性饮酒者（每日平均饮酒量折合纯酒精８０克以上）占总人口的６．９７％,酒依赖患病率达０．６７％,已显著高于国内一些地区调查结果。     

1.5-2.5岁儿童对实物、照片和画片的概括——灵长目初级抽象概括能力的比较实验研究(Ⅲ)

为了同实验Ⅰ在金丝猴身上所做关于对实物、照片和画片的概括的结果进行对照,用10名1岁7个月至2岁6个月的儿童进行了对比实验研究。方法和实验Ⅰ大致相仿。实验开始时对儿童进行简单言语指导。全部被试都迅速对基础辨别刺激形成巩固的辨别反应,这可能是由于儿童的言语发展起了中介作用。在随后的测查实验中,随着儿童年龄的增长,能够把反应从实物迁移到代表实物的平面图片上的人数有所增加。这似乎和儿童的言语发展相平行。     

The influence of dispositional optimism and gender on adolescents' perception of academic stress

This study investigated the role of optimism together with gender, on students' perception of academic stress. Four hundred and thirty secondary school students from Singapore participated in this study and data were collected using two self-report measures: the Life Orientation Test and the Academic Expectation Stress Inventory. Results revealed a significant negative relationship between optimism and academic stress in students. Gender was not a significant predictor of academic stress and no two-way interactions were found between optimism and gender of the participants. Possible explanations for the results were suggested and implications of the findings were discussed.
