Twenty-five years since the publication of Intimate Strangers: The Culture of Celebrity, this essay reflects on the extraordinary changes in the nature of celebrity, including its radical democratization by way of the internet.

萨利纳斯执政时期革命制度党政治策略的转变

萨利纳斯执政时期,面对反对党崛起、本党在众议院失去2/3多数席位的情况,革命制度党需要改变此前奉行的对反对党的政治策略。换言之,为了能修改宪法、顺利推行新自由主义经济改革,革命制度党不再实行不与反对党合作的政治策略,开始与国家行动党合作,同时采取各种方式打击和压制民主革命党的势力。这种政治策略的转变虽然使国家行动党内部产生了分裂,但国家行动党在地方选举中的胜利得到了政府的承认,使其获得了施展才能的机会,为日后赢得总统选举奠定了基础;革命制度党避免了来自左右反对党的两面夹击,得以顺利通过宪法修正案,推行政治改革和经济改革;而民主革命党则受到沉重打击。     

Adolescents’ Media-related Cognitions and Substance Use in the Context of Parental and Peer Influences

Two cross-sectional studies investigated media influences on adolescents’ substance use and intentions to use substances in the context of exposure to parental and peer risk and protective factors. A total of 729 middle school students (n = 351, 59% female in Study 1; n = 378, 43% female in Study 2) completed self-report questionnaires. The sample in Study 1 was primarily African-American (52%) and the sample in Study 2 was primarily Caucasian (63%). Across the two studies, blocks of media-related cognitions made unique contributions to the prediction of adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the future above and beyond self-reported peer and parental influences. Specifically, identification with and perceived similarity to media messages were positively associated with adolescents’ current substance use and intentions to use substances in the future, and critical thinking about media messages and media message deconstruction skills were negatively associated with adolescents’ intention to use substances in the future. Further, peer influence variables (e.g., peer pressure, social norms, peer substance use) acted as risk factors, and for the most part, parental influence variables (e.g., parental pressure to not use, perceived parental reaction) acted as protective factors. These findings highlight the importance of developing an increased understanding of the role of media messages and media literacy education in the prevention of substance use behaviors in adolescence.
