Religion and Educational Ideals in Contemporary Taiwan

The relationship between religion and educational ideals in Taiwan is explored using the Taiwan Social Change Survey (1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005). Religion seems to influence the overall level of educational ideals. Both before and after controls, Taiwanese Protestants have the highest educational ideals for both boys and girls; the nonreligious have the second highest ideals. Members of the new religious movement Yi‐Guan‐Dao and Catholics have the lowest ideals, while folk religionists/Taoists and Buddhists are in the middle and not significantly different from each other. We discuss possible mechanisms of influence and how our findings speak to the available literature on religion and education in the United States and elsewhere.     

Repetition benefit in mental rotation is independent of stimulus repetition

In this study, we investigated whether there is a repetition benefit in mental rotation that is independent of stimulus repetition (i.e., due to increased efficiency in postencoding processing). Three experiments were conducted, in which different conditions of stimulus repetition (different letters on consecutive trials in Experiment 1, letters of different orientations on consecutive trials in Experiment 2, and priming of rotation direction in Experiment 3) were used, and the extent of repetition of rotation direction between two consecutive trials was manipulated. The results of all three experiments showed clear evidence of a repetition benefit without repeating the stimulus, suggesting that this effect is independent of stimulus repetition and lending support to the notion of increased efficiency in mental rotation as a result of repeated rotation direction per se.     

Virtue ethics and modern society—A response to the thesis of the modern predicament of virtue ethics

The revival of modern Western virtue ethics presents the question of whether or not virtue ethics is appropriate for modern society. Ethicists believe that virtue ethics came from traditional society, to which it conforms so well. The appearance of the market economy and a utilitarian spirit, together with society’s diversification, is a sign that modern society has arrived. This also indicates a transformation in the moral spirit. But modern society has not made virtues less important, and even as modern life has become more diversified, rule-following ethics have taken on even greater importance. Modern ethical life is still the ethical life of individuals whose self-identity contains the identity of moral spirit, and virtues have a very important influence on the self-identical moral characters. Furthermore, modern society, which is centered around utilitarianism, makes it apparent that rules themselves are far from being adequate and virtues are important. Virtues are a moral resource for modern people to resist modern evils.     

初级运动区的fMRI实验研究

本实验采用功能磁共振为实验仪器,被试进行运动准备和运动执行两种作业活动,实验设计为延时序列运动任务。在对实验数据进行预处理,反卷积、标准化处理后,采用欧式距离公式进行聚类统计,统计结果显示,M1区不仅具有运动执行和运动准备的功能,还发现其他功能区域的激活,不是单纯的运动执行功能,这一区域与三种活动有关。     

父亲参照效应的语言与文化差异：来自提取诱发遗忘的证据

采用提取诱发遗忘范式考察维吾尔族人和汉族人在自我参照、父亲参照和他人参照下的记忆特点, 发现维吾尔族被试在自我参照下和父亲参照下均未出现提取诱发遗忘, 在一般他人参照下出现提取诱发遗忘, 说明在维吾尔人中父亲参照加工与自我参照加工相较于一般他人参照加工存在优势; 汉族被试仅在自我参照下未出现提取诱发遗忘, 在父亲参照下和他人参照下均出现了提取诱发遗忘, 说明在汉族被试中仅有自我参照加工相较于一般他人参照加工具有优势, 父亲参照加工并未表现出同样的优势。这表明, 不同的语言和文化影响个体的自我建构, 父亲仅出现在维吾尔族人的自我建构中, 在姓名结构中父名与本名共现与否是影响两个民族自我建构差异的重要因素。

近年来羞愧作为自我意识情绪研究中一个重要的主题而再度得到心理学家的关注,本文从羞愧的概念、发展理论、羞愧和内疚的差异研究、羞愧的动机作用等几个方面总结了对羞愧的研究结果,在此基础上探讨该领域未来的研究趋势。     

流行病学疾病分布理论与疾病防制

疾病分布是流行病学的一个十分重要的基本概念,是流行病学探索疾病规律的研究起点,是流行病学区别于其他医学学科的、独特的研究视角.疾病分布理论在研究病因、发现疾病重点人群、制订疾病防制策略与措施实践中被广泛应用,其中蕴涵着丰富的哲学内涵.     

代谢综合征的争议与共识

代谢综合征(metabolic syndrome,MS)的主要组分包括中心性肥胖、高血压、糖耐量异常、脂代谢紊乱,而胰岛素抵抗被认为是MS的病理生理学基础.目前,对MS的认识还存在诸多争议,主要包括MS的命名、病因机制和病理生理学基础、其各组分及其阈值的确定以及对心血管疾病的预测价值.尽管存在争议,MS概念的提出将有助于对高危人群的心脑血管疾病及糖尿病的防治.     

不育症临床治疗中的人文关怀

随着不育症患者的不断增多,不育症治疗技术的迅速发展及医学模式的转化,在不育症临床诊疗中应树立人文关怀的理念,强化人性化服务的意识.在工作中应遵循患者第一的原则并恪守心身统一原则、保密原则、最优化原则、知情同意等原则.在治疗过程对患者同情、鼓励以及进行心理治疗,体现人文关怀,构建和谐的诊疗气氛.
