触觉空间精确性与触觉神经元密度相关联的验证

本研究应用栅栏定向任务,通过对小学一年级儿童和大学生的触觉敏感性的比较,验证触觉敏感性与神经元密度的关系。结果表明：对较大的易于分辨的刺激,成人可以完成得较好,而对较细小的难于分辨的刺激,儿童成绩更好。本研究验证了高感受单元密度对应较强的触觉敏感性的假设。     

不同适应水平小学生有意义事件报告比较——小学生自我调节机制的一项研究

本研究选取发展良好与适应不良的三——五年级小学生为被试,以问卷访谈形式调查他们心目中的正性和负性意义事件。结果表明,两组被试在事件意义体验的人际亲和性、内在一外在性和丰富性方面有明显不同的反映。感受的丰富性表现在正负性意义事件两方面,某种事件负性意义感受的出现是良好适应的表现。     

计算机有内隐记忆吗？——人与计算机的初步比较研究

本实验参照国内内隐记忆研究方面的一个经典实验(杨治良,1991),以无意义音节为材料,运用信号检测论的方法,对计算机是否存在内隐记忆的问题进行了初步的探讨。结果表明,在本实验条件下计算机只有单纯的100％正确的回忆效应,不具备内隐记忆。本研究为探明计算机的记忆特点作了初步尝试,同时也从一个新角度再次证明了内隐记忆是独立于外显记忆的客观存在。     

Coming out discourses of Asian American lesbians

The authors examined the accounts of a small group of Asian American lesbians regarding their experiences forming their sexual identities. Discourse analysis and the social constructionist approach were applied to the subjects’ accounts of their coming out. Focus group subjects’ discussions were transcribed in order to depict the practices they employed to render their experiences meaningful to themselves and others. There was an internal dialectical process between the subjects’ subjective and objective reality, during which they came to terms with their subjective identity, or came out to themselves. There was also an external dialectical process between the subjects and society, during which they negotiated with their objective world for their subjective identity, or came out to the public in general and to their families in particular. The research suggests that in these dialectical processes, Asian cultural values and beliefs served as the means through which the conflict between the subjects’ interiority and their social networks was reconciled. The desire to reabsorb the subjects served to motivate the family members to work collaboratively to overcome cultural barriers to acceptance. The authors are grateful for the help of Robert Dominguez and all the participants who made the study possible.     

The racial subtext in Canada’s immigration discourse

The articulation of race has become subtle and elusive in democratic societies because racism conflicts with principles of equality and non-discrimination. This article examines Canada’s immigration discourse and argues that a racial subtext can be discerned from the discourse by examining its vocabulary, syntax, structure, and implied rationale. The study shows that codified concepts and an implied logic are used to convey racial massages that appear not to be “race”-based. The discourse is further facilitated by opinion polls and academic studies that reify the notion of “race” and legitimize its everyday use as a harmless concept. It is the discourse itself, and not implied differences of “race”, that fragments Canada. The study recommends abandoning the use of racial subtext in academic research and immigration policy development.     

Thinking styles,self‐esteem,and extracurricular experiences

This study had two objectives. The first was to examine the relationship between thinking styles and self‐esteem. The second objective was to investigate the relationship of the participants' extracurricular experiences to both thinking styles and self‐esteem. Seven‐hundred and ninety‐four university students from Hong Kong participated in the study. Participants responded to the Thinking Styles Inventory (Sternberg & Wagner, 1992) and the Self‐Esteem Inventory (Adult Form, Coopersmith, 1981) as well as to a questionnaire designed to elicit both personal and situational characteristics. It was found that thinking styles and self‐esteem are statistically related. Meanwhile, both thinking styles and self‐esteem are statistically related to the participants' extracurricular experiences. Implications of these findings for teachers are discussed.     

伪道养形,真道养神——《西升经》的形神观探险

出于西晋的<西升经>提出"伪道养形,真道养神"这一具有独创性的命题,虽然有空喊口号的嫌疑,但却在口号声中把"形"与"神"割裂开来,这就等于对道教主流论证人经修炼能不死成仙的主要依据之一"形神俱妙"进行釜底抽薪,否决了传统道教所主张的"炼形",从而走向"炼神".<西升经>的形神观尚未全盘抛弃道教的传统言说,其中还有一些论述上的自相矛盾,譬如既割裂形神,又肯定形神相辅相成,既否定形体,又在某些地方保留了身体在修炼中的地位.尽管如此,我们仍然认为它打开了道教生命哲学发展趋势的新局面.     

幼儿害羞与社会适应:母亲教养方式的调节作用

本研究以487名幼儿为被试,探讨害羞与社会适应的关系,以及母亲教养方式在害羞与社会适应之间的调节作用。幼儿母亲完成儿童社会偏好量表和教养方式问卷,幼儿教师完成对幼儿社会适应的评价。结果表明:(1)害羞与不合群和同伴排斥显著正相关;(2)母亲教养方式在害羞与社会适应之间具有调节作用。具体来说,母亲温暖、说理和鼓励自主的教养方式可减弱害羞幼儿的消极适应,而体罚和指令型的教养方式会加剧害羞幼儿的消极适应。研究结果对于害羞幼儿的干预具有重要价值。     

社会批判叙事的复兴与重构——关于当代法国马克思主义承继马克思社会批判的话语分析

社会批判是贯穿马克思思想发展始终的精髓。马克思思想的生命与活力,始终是在宏大的社会批判和强烈的现实关照过程中得以体现和验证的。当代法国马克思主义承继并重构了马克思的社会批判话语,对当代资本主义社会现实不断发起深刻的批判,他们以现代性反思作为批判叙事的话语基点,以重构的"异化"作为批判叙事的工具,以意识形态向度的批判作为批判叙事的旨趣,以日常生活视阈的拓展作为批判叙事的解构和发展,从而全面复兴与重构马克思的社会批判叙事。     

从荷兰看欧关马克思主义理论研究

因参与荷兰皇家科学院和中国社会科学院合作项目"马克思恩格斯著作历史考证版(MEGA2)对马克思主义理论在西欧和中国的影响",我从2008年3月1日至4月25日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹国际社会历史研究所进行学术访问.这期间有机会具体接触、了解荷兰左翼文化理论研究机构所开展的马克思主义研究,同时也比较方便地浏览了欧美国家马克思主义研究方面的一些成果和资料,从而感觉到欧美国家的马克思主义研究对我们很有启发,有值得借鉴的地方.现把自己的见闻和感想写出来,和大家共享.
