Inspection time and everyday functioning: A longitudinal study

We tested whether level and/or changes in inspection time (IT) in an elderly sample (70–85 years at baseline) predicted future independence in everyday functioning, independent from chronological age. Sixty-eight participants were initially assessed on IT and cognitive abilities in 2003, reassessed on IT in 2005, and then completed the Everyday Problems Test, a test of independence in everyday living, in 2008. Controlling for age, lower fluid reasoning at baseline (Raven’s-subset) and slowing IT over 18 months independently predicted poorer everyday functioning in 2008, together accounting for one-third variance. This supports the proposition that IT has utility as a biomarker for less favourable ageing.     

Examination of the content of individualism/collectivism scales in cultural comparisons of the USA and Japan

The definitions of individualism/collectivism and the content of scale items used to assess them could explain the lack of cross-cultural differences reported in some research. Specifically, existing scales may not adequately assess expected cultural differences. In study 1 , a new scale was given in Japan and the USA. Three factors were identified in both cultures. Japanese scored higher on the others focus factor but scored lower on the helping others factor than the US Americans. In study 2 , a forced choice version replicated results in study 1 . In studies 3 and 4 , the factor structure and cultural differences were replicated and the convergent and the divergent validities of the scale were examined. Results indicate that Japanese may be more others oriented depending on the item content.     

浅析中国社会政策的价值选择与伦理定位——以公民权利为视角

任何政策制定和执行都由一定的理论基础和价值理念作为支撑,对于我国的社会政策体系构建而言,只有在全面把握社会发展的客观进程的基础上,突破以往的狭隘视角,以生活质量、公民权利、主动参与等更为宽阔的角度出发来确定社会政策体系中福利、贫困等核心概念,才能为社会政策体系的制度设置奠定坚实而长效的价值基础。     

非雄激素依赖型前列腺癌与肿瘤干细胞——浅析辩证思维之于临床医学的方法论作用

在前列腺癌的治疗中,由于癌细胞的不断“升级”使得治疗屡屡受挫。近来提出的肿瘤干细胞理论认为:肿瘤是一种干细胞疾病,只有消灭了“种子”,才能克服癌症。从自然辩证法的角度,结合肿瘤干细胞理论对前列腺癌的诊疗加以分析,解释非雄激素依赖型前列腺癌的发病机制,以一种新的思维指导临床治疗。

Affectivity and movement: The sense of sensing in Erwin Straus

This paper explores the notion of sensing (Empfinden) as developed by Erwin Straus. It argues that the notion of sensing is at the center of Strauss's thought about animal and human experience. Straus's originality consists in approaching sensory experience from an existential point of view. Sensing is not a mode of knowing. Sensing is distinguished from perceiving but is still a mode of relation to exteriority, and is situated on the side of what is usually called affectivity. At the same time Strauss redefines the field of that which is commonly characterized as affectivity. Sensing designates a stratum that lies deeper than the division between perceiving and feeling (s'éprouver), a self-affection that is not an alternative to the opening upon exteriority. It corresponds to a mode of immediate communication, to a sympathy with the world that does not entail any thematic dimension, but does not fall back into a blind fusion. Rather, sensing is something in the living being's mode of moving that is irreducible, and that includes a tending toward something.

自我构念对想象广告策略的影响与分析

以叙事运输理论和社会心理自我概念模型为理论背景, 通过两个实验对自我构念对想象广告策略的影响进行了探讨。实验结果验证了想象广告会显著提高独立自我构念者的购买意愿, 但对依存自我构念者影响不显著; 自我构念对想象效应的调节作用不因广告场景提示的变化而变化; 无论是强说服或弱说服的想象广告都能提高独立自我构念者的购买意愿, 而对于依存自我构念者, 只有强说服想象广告会收到好的效果。     

拼音在儿童课外阅读中的作用

本研究利用课堂时间模拟儿童独立阅读情景,探讨了拼音在小学一年级儿童课外阅读中的作用.结果发现:(1)低年级儿童已经在一定程度上具备了独立阅读能力.在合适的阅读材料条件下,儿童能很好地理解故事,并能从独立阅读中伴随学习到一定数量的词汇.(2)伴随学习效果受注音方式的影响,全文注音条件的伴随学习率最高,生字注音最不利于伴随学习.
