Mapping Chinese Folk Religion in Mainland China and Taiwan

The revival of folk (popular) religion in China in the last three decades has been noted in many publications and documented in ethnographic studies. However, until now there has been no quantitative study that provides an overall picture of Chinese folk‐religion practices. This article is a first attempt to draw the contours of Chinese folk religion based on three recent surveys conducted in mainland China and Taiwan. Three types of folk religion are conceptualized: communal, sectarian, and individual. Different types of folk religion may have different social functions and divergent trajectories of change in the modernization process. At present, in spite of the dramatic social, political, and cultural changes in modern times, the adherents of folk religion still substantially outnumber the believers of institutional religions in Chinese societies.     

Motor performance improved by exercises in cerebral ischemic rats

Physical exercise may induce neuroprotective effects against brain damage after stroke. The authors aimed to investigate the effects of various exercises on motor function, striatal angiogenesis, and infarct volume in cerebral ischemic rats. Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 groups: Rota-rod training, lower speed treadmill training, higher speed treadmill training, or no exercise control. Motor function, striatal angiogenesis, and infarct volume were evaluated before or after motor training. After training, motor function and striatal angiogenesis changed significantly in Rota-rod and higher speed treadmill training groups as compared with the control group. Improvement in motor function significantly correlated with striatal angiogenesis after motor training. Infarct volumes were significantly decreased in lower and higher speed treadmill training groups. The results indicated that both motor training procedures can be used as effective training programs in stroke rehabilitation.     

资本主义研究在马克思社会形态理论中的地位

<正>社会形态理论是马克思主义的研究者最为重视的马克思历史理论之一,甚至被看作历史唯物主义的核心部分,但同时也是引起最多争议和质疑的部分。然而,无论是关于社会形态演进序列之"五形态"与"三形态"的争论,还是关于社会形态的依次演进是否具有历史必然性的争论,抑或关于     

情感主义的语义表述

情感主义(emotivism)是元伦理学的重要学说之一。艾耶尔是这一学说的主要代表人物。参照斯图尔加(D.Stoljar)的观点①,可以将艾耶尔的情感主义概括为语义和语用两个基本论点:语义论点:道德语句缺乏真值条件,不能为真或为假。语用论点:道德语句的作用是表达情感,以及劝说人们以某种方式行动。(Stoljar,p.81)然而,这一版本的情感主义面临两方面的问题:(1)弗雷格-吉奇问题:一个缺乏真值条件而只有     

青少年高冒险行为与大脑发展

青少年时期是一个转折期,也是冒险行为多发的时期。以往有关青少年冒险行为的研究大多集中在心理学视角与社会关系学视角,双系统竞争理论从生物学视角对青少年高冒险行为作出解释。该理论认为青少年高冒险行为的产生主要是由于大脑中的社会情绪系统与认知控制系统相互竞争作用的结果。社会情绪系统对奖赏寻求起作用,而认知控制系统对执行功能起作用。较早发展的社会情绪系统与较晚才成熟的认知控制系统间的竞争是青少年冒险行为产生的原因。     

不同心理一致感初中生对压力的态度激活研究

该研究采用不同加工任务的间接测量方法,探讨不同心理一致感水平初中生对压力的外显认知倾向和内隐态度激活程度。结果表明:1)初中生较为稳定的积极认识和反应倾向在他们关于压力的外显认知加工中起了更为显著的作用;2)不同加工方式的虚惊率差异表明存在着初中生对压力情境的内隐态度,且这种无意识认知较为消极。     

负性情绪对压抑遗忘记忆的影响

该实验使用Think/No-think(T/NT)任务,从外显和内隐记忆两个方面探讨负性情绪、测试时间对压抑遗忘的影响。实验结果表明:在外显记忆成绩中情绪与T/NT任务的交互作用显著,在NT条件下中性词回忆的成绩优于负性词,同时,情绪的主效应显著,被试对中性词的记忆显著高于负性词。但是T/NT任务的主效应不显著,情绪×T/NT任务×测试时间的交互不显著。在内隐记忆成绩中,在所有条件下的记忆成绩均无显著性差异。     

儿童歧视知觉模型述评

Brown和Bigler提出了儿童歧视知觉模型,分析了歧视知觉的三个影响因素:认知因素、情景因素和个体差异因素,每个因素都包含了多个影响儿童歧视知觉的子因素。该模型展示了这些因素影响儿童歧视知觉的机制。完善该模型需要探讨其与信息加工理论、发展群际理论、主观群体动力学模型的兼容性。歧视知觉的类型需要进一步细化,因此在综合主观群体动力学模型和发展模型的基础上提出了歧视知觉的分类方案。未来研究还要进一步探讨情绪、文化以及年龄因素对儿童歧视知觉的影响,并探讨该模型对歧视干预的意义。     

7-10岁学龄儿童ADHD筛查研究

用SDQ（家长版）对上海10所小学二至四年级学生进行测查,以探求被试的ADHD症状表现,锁定ADHD高风险儿童。结果：（1）男生ADHD得分偏高（p<.01）,但女生在红橙两个级别内的百分数均高于男生;（2）9岁被试的ADHD得分分布最分散,占男生ADHD红色级别的比例最大,在女生ADHD得分中均值最大;（3）红橙两个级别为高风险级别。结论：（1）9岁是ADHD症状表现最严重的年龄;（2）女生具有更高的ADHD风险;（3）ADHD高风险被试晒出率：男生14.4%,女生17.4%。
