The effects of familiarity on thought--action fusion

The present study examined whether beliefs about the importance of thoughts (i.e., thought–action fusion; TAF) are related to the target subject of the negative thought. One hundred and seven undergraduate students were randomly assigned to imagine either a beloved relative or a stranger being diagnosed with cancer and provided in vivo ratings of anxiety, likelihood, moral wrongness, urge to neutralize, and how upsetting the event would be if it occurred. Results indicated that thinking of a relative being diagnosed with cancer provoked more distress, urges to neutralize, and higher estimates of likelihood, as well greater use of mental neutralizing behaviors, compared to thinking of a stranger. Contrary to our prediction, the groups did not differ in their ratings of the moral wrongness. These findings broadly support the assertion that the more personally significant a negative intrusive thought, the more it will provoke distress and urges to neutralize. Results are discussed in terms of the cognitive model of obsessions and clinical implications are addressed.     

The relationship between religion and thought-action fusion: Use of an in vivo paradigm

Research has demonstrated that higher levels of religiosity are positively correlated with thought-action fusion (TAF), a set of cognitive biases found to be associated with obsessive-compulsive symptoms. However, previous studies have exclusively relied on a nomothetic approach to measuring TAF using a single self-report instrument, the thought-action fusion scale. The current study examined the relationship between religiosity and TAF using an in vivo behaviorally-based assessment in which participants thought about and wrote down thoughts of negative events involving loved ones. Forty-three highly religious Protestant Christians were compared to 30 Atheists/Agnostics on their in vivo ratings of anxiety, estimates of likelihood, and moral wrongness related to the negative thoughts. Results indicated that compared to the non-religious participants, those who were highly religious believed that writing and thinking about the negative events was more morally wrong and increased the likelihood of the event. Results are discussed in terms of the potential relationship between certain religious teachings and TAF-related beliefs about the importance, significance, and influence of thoughts.     

阐释学语境下的医患沟通——探寻理解之路

在信息不对称、医疗结果不确定的情况下,很多医疗纠纷是由于缺乏充分的沟通导致不信任和误解造成的。加强医患沟通是增进理解、减少误解、构建和谐医患关系的重要途径。结合阐释学提出的理解之“主体间性”、“视阈融合”、“效果历史”的观点,探寻医患沟通的理解之路并指出医患沟通的限度。     

What's to Fear from Immigrants? Creating an Assimilationist Threat Scale

We argue that cultural threat, stressed in recent studies of anti-immigrant sentiment, is properly measured in the U.S. case as "assimilationist threat": a resentful perception that immigrants are failing to adopt the cultural norms and lifestyle of their new homeland. We explore the meaning and form of assimilationist threat in the minds of Americans through an analysis of four focus groups, two in Los Angeles, CA, and two in Columbus, OH. Using information from the focus groups, we develop and test a set of survey questions covering three dimensions of immigrants' commitment to their new country: language, productivity, and citizenship. We produce a summary scale of assimilationist threat that can be used by other researchers seeking to understand the causes and consequences of anti-immigrant sentiment.     

颈椎单间隙融合后椎间高度的改变对邻近节段退变的影响

本文探讨颈前路单间隙融合术后该节段的椎间高度改变对相邻节段椎间盘退变所产生的不同影响。将颈前路单节段融合术后的患者78例按融合高度的不同分为三组,通过测量上位节段的椎间高度、活动度及椎体间滑移进行比较,结果显示融合后的椎间高度达到正常水平时的退变较慢,增大或减小均会加速邻近椎间盘的退变。     

《禅林宝训》伦理思想儒学化探析

《禅林宝训》反复宣说的道、利之辨以及诚信等道德规范 ,在内容乃至形式上与儒家伦理基本一致。《禅林宝训》充分吸收儒家伦理思想 ,主张儒、佛融合 ,一方面是加强丛林自身道德建设的内在需要 ,另一方面是中国禅宗人间化的客观要求。佛教的五戒十善等伦理与儒家伦理存在相似之处 ,这为《禅林宝训》充分吸收、融合儒家伦理提供了内在理论契机。     

不同植骨方式应用于退行性腰椎滑脱症后路手术的疗效分析

为了比较后路椎阎植骨融合（posterior lumber interbody fusion,PLIF）、后外侧植骨融合（posterolateral lumbar fusion,PLF）及二者联合运用（PLIF＋PLF）在退行性腰椎滑脱症后路手术中的疗效,对59例退行性腰椎滑脱症患者根据手术中植骨方式分为三组,回顾三组患者的临床资料,比较三种植骨融合方式手术时间、术中出血量、椎间隙高度、滑脱角、植骨融合率以及JOA评分改善率。结果显示：B组（PLF）的植骨融合率低于A组（PLIF）及C组（PLIF＋PLF）。在椎间隙高度维持、滑脱角丢失等方面A组优于B组（P〈0．05）,并且与C组无差异（P〉0．05）。在手术时间及术中出血量方面A组优于C组（P〈0．05）,并且与B组无差异（P〉0．05）。JOA评分改善率比较,三组间无显著性差异（P〉O0．05）。因此,得出结论：PLIF和PLF均是退行性腰椎滑脱症后路手术中的有效融合方式;PLIF及PLIF＋PLF的融合率优于PLF;综合分析PLIF应用于退行性腰椎滑脱症后路手术中优于PLF及PLIF＋PLF。     

Knowledge on Treelike Spaces

This paper presents a bimodal logic for reasoning about knowledge during knowledge acquisitions. One of the modalities represents (effort during) non-deterministic time and the other represents knowledge. The semantics of this logic are tree-like spaces which are a generalization of semantics used for modeling branching time and historical necessity. A finite system of axiom schemes is shown to be canonically complete for the formentioned spaces. A characterization of the satisfaction relation implies the small model property and decidability for this system.     

新婚夫妻接收配偶支持的情感覆盖效应研究

采用社会支持观察研究范式及问卷调查相结合的方式,对41对新婚夫妻进行提供支持、接收支持以及婚姻满意度测量,探讨提供支持与配偶接收支持之间关系的性别效应及婚姻满意度的情感覆盖效应.结果显示：①妻子提供的支持可以预测丈夫接收到的支持,但丈夫提供的支持不能预测妻子接收到的支持.②妻子接收到的支持与丈夫提供的支持之间的不一致受婚姻满意度的情感覆盖效应的调节,而丈夫则没有这种效应.结论：妻子在对丈夫的支持行为进行解码时,更多受到婚姻满意度的情感覆盖效应影响.     

两种术式治疗腰椎管狭窄症的疗效分析

探讨后路椎弓根螺钉系统固定、Cage加自体骨椎间融合(PLIF)与传统术式(开窗减压、半椎板切除、全椎板截骨回植)治疗腰椎管狭窄症的疗效差异。2006年6月～2008年8月,对85例腰椎管狭窄症患者行传统术式减压(A组38例)、PLIF治疗(B组47例)。术后随访16个月～43个月,平均23个月。采用JOA评分评估疗效并行统计学分析。结果A组有效率78.94%,B组有效率95.74%。A组与B组比较,B组疗效优于A组,差异有统计学意义。因此,后路椎弓根螺钉系统固定、Cage加自体骨椎间融合治疗腰椎管狭窄症的疗效优于传统术式。
