共情研究主题的变化——来自文献计量学的证据

鉴于共情在个体社会生活中的重要作用,共情受到了许多研究者的关注,这也使得与共情有关的文献发表数量在迅速增长。借助文献计量学的方法,本研究从宏观的角度呈现了1996年到2015年共情研究主题的演变趋势和今后可能的研究热点。结果表明,共情的年发表论文量符合摩尔定律;共情相关的研究主题从早期的人格特质、态度、情绪,逐渐过渡到社会认知;注重多学科合作。今后的研究热点可能有:社会技能、道德、情绪识别与调节;跨文化跨种族的人际交往;共情的神经机制及神经可塑性。     

哈欠传染的发展与演化：一项探索性研究

传染性哈欠可能承载着一定的社会功能,但实证证据还非常有限。研究收集了大学生和老年人两个年龄群体的传染性哈欠和自发性哈欠数据,测量了抑制控制和观点采择,同时采用问卷测查参与者睡眠状况等。结果发现：大学生表现出哈欠传染,但这种现象在老年人群体中不明显;传染性哈欠和个体的抑制控制能力存在共变关系;相比传染性哈欠,自发性哈欠更多与一些基本的生理因素（如睡眠状况、警觉程度）相关。结果为从种系发生和个体发生两个层面探究传染性哈欠的机制提供了基础数据。     

基于网络与演化视角的集体球类项目团队共享心智模型

团队既是当今组织中的重要工作方式, 又是集体竞技的组织形式, 故成为众多学科关注的焦点。共享心智模型是团队成员共享的团队相关情境关键要素的有组织理解、知识心理表征或信念。近年来, 中国足、篮、排三大球集体陷入低谷, 输球又输人的状况屡见取端, 引发举国关注。振兴“三大球”成为建设体育强国必然要迈过的坎。研究提出从网络与演化视角出发, 以“三大球”为主要研究对象, 通过对主题专家的深度访谈与“三大球”标杆球队的进球(或得分)录像分析, 寻找“三大球”共享心智模型演化的共性与殊性, 并为后续研究提供素材与参数; 接着, 采用多重个案设计与追踪研究范式, 交叉检定与复现共享心智模型的演化理论与作用机制理论; 再次, 实证检验成员社会网络类型、结构与演化对共享心智模型与团队效能的影响; 最后, 运用Repast 软件对共享心智模型的形成与演化进行模拟, 以为预测与实时干预提供参考。     

生命史理论：进化视角下的生命发展观

传统的心理学研究很少从发展角度系统地考察童年早期经历和个体生物性发展之间的关系。然而，以进化理论为基础的生命史理论的研究表明，个体的幼年环境会影响一系列生命史事件的出现和持续时间。其要义在于，为了最大限度地成功繁衍，个体会根据环境线索来做出关乎生存和繁衍的具有适应性的权衡。特别地，性成熟时间是生命史理论区别于其他人类发展理论的核心变量。未来的研究一方面需要深入挖掘人类社会规范在生命史权衡中的意义，另一方面还要继续探索实证研究的新方法。     

EMERGENCE FROM PHYSICS TO THEOLOGY: TOWARD A PANORAMIC VIEW

Abstract. At its best, the emergence debate provides a helpful model of what religion‐science scholarship can and should involve. (At its worst it represents the faddishness and bandwagon effects to which our field is also prone.) Those involved in the debate must pay close attention to concrete theories and results in the natural sciences. They rely on the careful conceptual distinctions that philosophers of science draw concerning complexity, novelty, and organization. The resulting views about human mentality and consciousness are tested against these results and checked for their adequacy to the phenomena of human experience. Emergentist theories of nature and personhood have entailments for one's theory of religion and for theological reflection; conversely, theological accounts may constrain one's interpretation of emergent phenomena. In my response to the four symposiasts I draw out these deeper dimensions of the emergence debate.     

The Evolution of a Scientific Concept

A philosophically comprehended account is given of the genesis and evolution of the concept of protein. Characteristic of this development were not shifts in theory in response to new experimental data, but shifts in the range of questions that the available experimental resources were fit to cope with effectively. Apart from explanatory success with regard to its own range of questions, various other selecting factors acted on a conceptual variant, some stemming from a competing set of research questions, others from an altogether different field of inquiry, and still others from the external environment. These results are best explained on, hence support, an evolutionary model of the progress of experimental investigation, whose outlines are briefly discussed.
