The Influence of Parental Migration on Left-behind Children’s Mental Health in China: the Mediating Roles of Daily Stress and Sense-Making

Applied Research in Quality of Life - Despite growing attention to health impacts of parental migration on children left behind, little is known about the mechanism through which parental migration...     

Kin rejection: social signals,neural response and perceived distress during social exclusion

Across species, kin bond together to promote survival. We sought to understand the dyadic effect of exclusion by kin (as opposed to non‐kin strangers) on brain activity of the mother and her child and their subjective distress. To this end, we probed mother–child relationships with a computerized ball‐toss game Cyberball. When excluded by one another, rather than by a stranger, both mothers and children exhibited a significantly pronounced frontal P2. Moreover, upon kin rejection versus stranger rejection, both mothers and children showed incremented left frontal positive slow waves for rejection events. Children reported more distress upon exclusion than their own mothers. Similar to past work, relatively augmented negative frontal slow wave activity predicted greater self‐reported ostracism distress. This effect, generalized to the P2, was limited to mother‐ or child‐rejection by kin, with comparable magnitude of effect across kin identity (mothers vs. children). For both mothers and children, the frontal P2 peak was significantly pronounced for kin rejection versus stranger rejection. Taken together, our results document the rapid categorization of social signals as kin relevant and the specificity of early and late neural markers for predicting felt ostracism.     

Comparing Three Methods to Measure a Balanced Time Perspective: The Relationship Between a Balanced Time Perspective and Subjective Well-Being

The goals of this study were to determine the relations between having a balanced time perspective (BTP) with various measures of subjective well-being (SWB) and to test how various operationalizations of a BTP might impact the relation between having a BTP and SWB. We operationalized a balanced time perspective using: (a) Drake et al.’s Time Soc 17(1):47–61, (2008) cut-off-point method, (b) Boniwell et al.’s J Posit Psychol 5(1):24–40, (2010) suggestion of using a hierarchical cluster analysis, and (c) a deviation from a balanced time perspective (DBTP; Stolarski et al. Time Soc, 2011). The results demonstrated that having a BTP is related to increased satisfaction with life, happiness, positive affect, psychological need satisfaction, self-determination, vitality, and gratitude as well as decreased negative affect. Also, the DBTP was the best predictor of SWB. We discuss why individuals with a BTP are likely to be happier in life.     

对双时间参数理论的改进——从分支时间到分支时空

双时间参数理论由贝尔纳普于2001年提出,该理论使用不同的语义解释参数构建以言行事行为的语境,以确定以言行事行为是否成功或者是否被满足。但是贝尔纳普在构建语境时却忽略了地点这一重要的语境参数,而这也导致了双时间参数理论对以言行事行为的成功以及满足条件的不完善刻画。本文中,作者就将提出一个对双时间参数理论的改进方案。文章中,第一节将在简要介绍双时间参数理论以及其中问题的基础上,给出修正方案的大体思路,即将双时间参数理论的基础由分支时间逻辑变为分支时空逻辑,文章第二节将介绍分支时空逻辑中的主要内容,而第三节则说明如何在分支时空逻辑上使用P_（STIT）算子刻画群体行动的问题。第四节将具体介绍作者所给出的对双时间参数理论的修正方案。文章最后一节则是待解决的问题以及进一步的工作。

Team Training in China: Testing and Applying the Theory of Cooperation and Competition1

The theory of cooperation and competition has the potential both to understand the conditions when organizational groups are productive and major ways to strengthen these groups. Work teams based in a high‐technology company in Beijing, China, participated in a training workshop and a 2‐month follow of feedback and development. Structural equation analyses of data taken before and after the workshop support the hypotheses. In addition, results suggest that the training and follow‐up activities developed cooperative goals and constructive controversy. Findings also indicate that relationships among groups affected the productivity of individual teams. Results were interpreted as suggesting that cooperative goals and constructive controversy contribute to potent, creative, and productive teams in China and perhaps other countries as well.     

三品到九品 承前与启后——荀悦性三品论阐微

人性问题是荀悦整个思想体系的理论基石和核心问题之一,他是性三品论的坚定拥护者,更是一位承前启后、富有创见的理论家。荀悦提出了"兼取"的理论,认为在性与情的应合互动关系中,还存在一种"兼取"的状态;他还创造性地提出了"性之九品"的主张,把人之三品更细化为九品,将汉代的性三品论又向前推进了一步。荀悦的学说为后世学者提供了可资借鉴的思想素材和研究框架。
