The Influence of Maternal Acculturation,Neighborhood Disadvantage,and Parenting on Chinese American Adolescents’ Conduct Problems: Testing the Segmented Assimilation Hypothesis

Associations among neighborhood disadvantage, maternal acculturation, parenting and conduct problems were investigated in a sample of 444 Chinese American adolescents. Adolescents (54% female, 46% male) ranged from 12 to 15 years of age (mean age = 13.0 years). Multilevel modeling was employed to test the hypothesis that the association between maternal acculturation and adolescents’ conduct problems could be explained by differences in mothers’ reliance on monitoring and harsh discipline. In addition, guided by segmented assimilation theory, measures of neighborhood disadvantage were expected not only to be related to differences in parenting, but also to moderate the effects of maternal acculturation on parenting. Results indicated that increased maternal acculturation was related to higher levels of maternal monitoring and lower levels of harsh discipline, which, in turn, were related to lower levels of adolescents’ conduct problems. Hierarchical linear modeling results revealed that neighborhood disadvantage was related to lower levels of maternal monitoring. However, neighborhood disadvantage did not moderate the link between maternal acculturation and parenting practices.

Dynamics of Sector Switching: Hazard Models Predicting Changes from Private Sector Jobs to Public and Nonprofit Sector Jobs

Policy makers and public managers emphasize the importance of bringing private sector experience and skills into the public and nonprofit sectors. One result is an increased focus on privatization and contracting out, developments to which researchers have been attentive. However, the long-standing practice of hiring people with industrial experience into the public and nonprofit sectors has received remarkably little attention. This study, based on questionnaire responses from mid- and upper-level personnel in public and nonprofit sector organizations, attempts to understand the dynamics of sector switching from the private into either the public or nonprofit sector. Using event history analysis, the article looks at switching patterns. The probability of switching into the public sector is much higher for those who held a managerial occupation in their previous private sector job than for those who held professional and technical positions. Having more subordinates in a previous private sector job is associated with a lower likelihood of switching into a public sector job. By contrast, switching into the nonprofit sector is more often associated with a promotion.     

Why so few acting whistleblowers? Impacts of institutional anticorruption

Despite strong whistleblowing intention, very few truly act to blow the whistle. Building on a random sample of local citizens with citywide anticorruption performance indicators, this study investigated the linkages between institutional anticorruption and citizens' whistleblowing acts, both directly and indirectly via situational settings (i.e., corruption incidence and corruptive climate). The findings confirmed the impacts of varying anticorruption practices and detected both direct and indirect trajectories. More judicial convictions against senior officials directly reduced citizens' subsequent whistleblowing acts, but also indirectly invited more as they signaled more ensuing corruption incidence, with overall effects toward reduced whistleblowing. More citywide public whistleblowing incentivized more individual whistleblowing subsequently; yet, such effects were canceled out as such practices also deterred ensuing corruption incidence and indirectly reduced citizens' acts. The total effects explained why there were so few acting whistleblowers. The study concludes with discussion of research findings and potential policy implications.

拉美左派崛起与左派政府的变革

进入21世纪以来的短短几年间,一批"左派政府"的崛起导致了拉美政治版图的大改组,并标志着一股新的变革潮流的出现。当前被国际舆论公认为左派当政的拉美国家有委内瑞拉、智利、巴西、阿根廷、乌拉圭、玻利维亚、厄瓜多尔和尼加拉瓜等8国。拉美国家的左派政府都是通过选举取得执政地位的,即所谓"体制内的崛起"。迄今为止,这些政府所实行的变革也都没有超出"体制内变革"的范畴。本世纪初期这种左派政府在拉美"集体亮相"的局面,的确有给人耳目一新之感。这种新局面的出现与最近30年来拉美地区"政治民主化"变革、新自由主义经济改革等引起的深刻社会变动是分不开的。广大民众反对新自由主义、要求改变现状的呼声高涨和社会运动的广泛兴起,是左派政府崛起最基本的政治与社会基础。     

法律原则的司法适用问题探讨

法律原则是法律的基础性原理或真理,具有高度抽象性、普遍适用性、相对稳定性等特性。法律原则司法适用的深层原因包括内外两个方面:内部原因主要是指法律规则本身存在不确定性,外部原因则在于社会生活的不断变化。法律原则司法适用是弥补法律漏洞或法律缺陷的重要手段,能有限规范法官的自由栽量权。我国司法实践中法律原则适用的特点是:案件性质上,运用法律原则大多限于民商事案件,刑事案件和行政案件较少;案件类型上,多为新类型案件和疑难复杂案件;具体方法上,主要有单独适用、与规则并用和直接体现在判决主文中。司法实践中法律原则适用包括规则模式和原则模式,适用中要符合穷尽法律规则、选择明文规定的法律原则、反映社会主流价值观和栽判文书说理充分等规范要求。
