我国城市弱势青少年群体增权问题探析

目前,城市弱势青少年群体客观上处于无权状态并内化为无权感,从青少年个体发展和社会的协调发展来说都需要增权。在现实条件下,实现城市弱势青少年群体的增权途径,主要通过家庭系统、同辈互动、社区参与和舆论媒体等,从而使其提升能力,获得资源。     

当代青年个人价值选择偏差的原因及对策

在社会主义市场经济条件下,人们的价值观念和价值取向趋向多元化,青年中出现了过于追求个人价值而忽视社会价值、追求个人利益而轻视国家和人民利益的倾向。当代青年是构建社会主义和谐社会的中坚力量,关注青年就是关注未来。探究当代青年个人价值选择出现偏差的原因,并在此基础上强化社会责任,加强荣辱观教育,培养时代意识,建设良好社会环境,才能更好地帮助与引导青年正确追求人生价值。     

青年审美理念的时代特征和艺术审美的缺陷

当代青年的审美情趣和理念呈现出个性化和开放化、感性化和行为化、流行化和与世俗化的趋向。当代青年的艺术审美体验出现的缺陷,应在切实加强学校以艺术教育工作、引导青年摆脱娱乐文化的低俗情调、提升网络的审美文化价值诸方面做细致的工作,以提高青年的审美素养。     

西方国家对青年和青年组织意识形态渗透的手段研究

冷战以来,特别是20世纪80年代后期以来,西方国家对青年和青年组织意识形态渗透的手段日益多样化,呈现"多管齐下"的态势。主要表现为:运用媒体进行渗透,互联网成为渗透的新手段;支持非政府组织力量进行渗透;增强出口文化产品的影响力;通过青年学者学术交流和跨国高等教育交流进行渗透;利用对象国国内问题突出、青年工作薄弱等有利时机进行渗透。     

坟山崇拜与19世纪新加坡华人移民之整合

坟山组织普遍存在于东南亚华人社会。在19世纪,新加坡华人移民各帮群都建有自己的坟(义)山,多以亭称之。帮群坟山不仅为了解决本帮群移民的身后葬地问题,同时也有界定社群成员身份、促进社群认同与凝聚力的重要功能。社团总坟是社群认同的象征,是帮群的总机构、社群共祖之所在,通过建构和祭祀社群共祖来达致宗乡社群之整合。     

A Comparison of Acculturation Measures Among Hispanic/Latino Adolescents

Acculturation has been associated with numerous health and social outcomes among Hispanic/Latino adolescents. Various self-report scales have been used to measure acculturation, making comparisons of results across studies difficult. This study administered several commonly-used acculturation scales to 221 Hispanic/Latino 9th grade students in Los Angeles. Although all of these scales purport to measure acculturation, the correlations among the scales, and their correlations with language usage measures, were modest. As expected, higher scores on Hispanic/Latino orientation scales (or lower scores on U.S./White orientation scales) were associated with higher levels of ethnic identity formation. Results indicate that these acculturation scales may measure different aspects of the complex phenomenon of acculturation. For example, purely language-based measures shared only small amounts of variance with more comprehensive measures. Additional research is needed to create and validate acculturation measures for adolescents. Jennifer B.

Examining Resource and Protective Factors in the Adjustment of Latino Youth in Low Income Families: What Role Does Maternal Acculturation Play?

This longitudinal study examined whether the risk and positive factors contributing to the delinquent behaviors and internalizing problems of 454 Latino adolescents varied across maternal linguistic acculturation and adolescent gender. Although the level of cumulative risk to which the 10-to-14-year old adolescents were exposed did not vary by maternal linguistic acculturation, the factors contributing to their subsequent adjustment 16 months later varied substantially. Multiple regression analyses showed that for boys, maternal monitoring offset cumulative risk effects in the high acculturation group, but was unrelated to adjustment in the low acculturation group. Social competence served a protective function for boys in the high acculturation group, but was detrimental for boys in the low acculturation group and mother-son relationship quality directly predicted more subsequent delinquent behaviors among boys in the low acculturation group. Maternal monitoring was the only positive factor contributing to girls’ adjustment, directly predicting fewer delinquent behaviors for all girls.

The Analysis of Extracurricular Activities and Their Relationship to Youth Violence

The purpose of this study was to examine how extracurricular activities relate to rural youth violence. Gender differences were examined across all of the study variables. Self-report data were collected from 235 teenagers from a rural, ethnically diverse, Virginia community. Correlations revealed a significant inverse relationship between church activity and weapon carrying. Time in non-school clubs (B = .444, p = .000) was the best predictor of fighting frequency for boys. Time in non-school clubs (B = .315, p = .001) and time in religious activities (B = −.291, p = .003) were the best predictors of weapon carrying for boys. Time in extracurricular activities (B = −.267, p = .016), time volunteering (B = .262, p = .007), exercise frequency (B = −.221, p = .046), and number of sports team memberships (B = .240, p = .021) were significant predictors of fighting frequency for girls. None of the activity participation variables were predictive of female weapon carrying. Findings suggest that different types of extracurricular activities are predictive of violent activity.

青少年实地研究面临的问题及对策

二十多年来的青少年实地研究表明,青少年实地研究面临着个案代表性、理论指导、科学态度、方法局限等问题的严重困扰,解决的基本出路是不断提高研究者的问题意识、方法意识、综合意识以及规范意识。     

大众文化背景下的青少年思想道德建设

现代传媒已经构成了无缝隙、零距离的信息网络,对青少年形成新的价值观、学习社会规范、完成社会化起着潜移默化的引导作用。现代传媒作为社会政治、经济、文化的载体,对青少年思想道德建设的影响是全方位的、不可替代的。部分青少年学术期刊由于缺乏创新意识与竞争意识,存在趋同化、平庸化倾向。
