Emotional and temperamental correlates of Type A in children and adolescents

Emotional and behavioral correlates of Type A behavior in children and adolescents were examined in 184 fifth-, seventh-, and ninth-grade students, classified as high or low Type A, using self-report, teacher ratings (fifth grade only), and structured interview procedures. Measures included the Hunter-Wolf A-B Rating Scale, Behavioral Symptoms of Stress Inventory, Dimensions of Temperament Survey, Desire for Control Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist. High Type A children reported significantly more stressed-related behaviors, higher levels of depression, anger, anxiety, and cognitive disorganization, and greater reactivity than Low Type A. No differences were found on measures of temperament (activity level, attention span, adaptibility, and rhythmicity), desire for control, or introversion-extroversion. Females, in general, reported significantly more behavioral stress symptoms. However, no other gender differences were found. Possible reasons for reported differences between Type A children and adults are discussed, along with gender differences in behavioral symptoms. Need for multiple measures of Type A across situation is considered along with need for controlled longitudinal studies of Type A components and the influence of contexts.Received Ph.D. from Stanford.

攻党的概念、特征和边界

政治学中对政党本质的认识存在四种看法,阶级组织说、权力目的说、党派团体说、中间媒介说。这四种理论在一定程度上指出了政党的本质,但都存在一定不足之处。准确地讲,政党是由社会中一部分人组成的,以夺取或控制政权为目的的,联结政府与个人的有组织的集团。政党具有部分性、目的性、组织性和中介性四个特征。政党是不同于国家、利益集团和党派的。     

市场化改革中的道德与政府

随着市场化改革的更加深入,中国社会出现了很多新的问题和矛盾。但是这些问题和矛盾并不完全是由市场化所造成的,更主要的是由政府改革未到位造成的。由于改革过程中也出现了大量计划经济下不曾出现的不道德乃至突破道德底线的行为,使公众对于未来预期的不确定性、不安全感和不道德感增强,因而也产生了一些对于改革本身的怀疑和反对。因此,未来的市场化改革必须具有明确的道德取向,明确政府责任,成为利益分享、公众参与、推动道德进步的改革。

Who Wants to Work for the Government?

In an era when everyone wants to be a millionaire, governments struggle to attract and retain highly qualified employees, making it more important than ever to understand what attracts people to the public service. Using contingency table analysis and logistic regression on the 1989 and 1998 General Social Surveys, we explore how individuals' demographic characteristics and the importance they place on various job qualities influence their preference for and employment in the public sector. Job security may still be the strongest attraction of government jobs, but high income and the opportunity to be useful to society also attract some Americans to the public service. Minorities, veterans, Democrats, and older Americans preferred public-sector jobs more than whites, nonveterans, Republicans, and younger Americans, who were otherwise similar. Women and college graduates were more likely than comparable men and less-educated respondents to have government jobs, but no more likely to prefer them. Overall, desire for government jobs declined markedly between 1989 and 1998.
