Shared Agency with Parents for Educational Goals: Ethnic Differences and Implications for College Adjustment

This study proposed and confirmed three ways in which college students can perceive shared agency and two ways in which they can perceive non-shared agency with parents when pursuing educational goals in college. Differences and similarities were examined among participants from four ethnic backgrounds (N = 515; 67% female): East Asian American, Southeast Asian American, Filipino/Pacific Islander American, and European American. Results indicated that Asian American youth reported higher levels of non-shared agency with parents (i.e., parental directing and noninvolvement), lower levels of shared agency (i.e., parental accommodation, support, or collaboration), and poorer college adjustment compared to European Americans. However, ethnic similarities were found whereby perceived shared agency in education with parents was associated with college adjustment. Multiple mediation analyses also indicated that our model of shared and non-shared agency with parents explained differences in college adjustment between Asian and European Americans, though more strongly for comparisons between European and East Asian Americans. Our results suggest that parents continue to be important in the education of older youth but that continued directing of youth’s education in college can be maladaptive.

少年网络犯罪防治新思路

少年网络犯罪具有犯罪主体的特殊性、犯罪手段高科技性、犯罪行为诱因的多发性以及犯罪后果的严重性等特点。在当下的法律框架内,完善少年网络犯罪专门司法的机关及人员建设,将一些少年网络犯罪行为的司法处理确立为司法判例,是防治少年网络犯罪新思路。     

对刑法中原因自由行为的"视角性"研究

我国的刑事法律缺乏对"原因自由行为"这一重要理论的研究和运用,这不利于我国刑事法制的完善.因此,在对"原因自由行为"所针对情形之可罚性理论的历史演变进行阐释的基础上,借鉴大陆法系的"原因中自由的行为"这一法理,并对客观主义三种学说进行比较分析,以"归责原则视角 犯罪论体系视角 结构性视角"这一综合性视角来研究"原因自由行为"的观点,原因自由行为的相关理念可以为解决醉酒犯罪提供理论支撑.
