Factor analysis applied to magnitude estimates of punishment Seriousness: Patterns of individual differences

This research makes use of factor analysis to locate important dimensions of individual differences in perceptions of legal punishments. A sample of 152 recently arrested persons provided magnitude estimates of the seriousness of several types and levels of punishment. A factor analysis of the data showed that the major dimensions of individual differentiation were in responses to (a) lengthy periods of imprisonment; (b) several punishments judged less serious, including short periods in jail or on probation; and (c) fines. Regressions of the factor scores on individual characteristics are reported, and the implications of the analysis for deterrence theory are discussed.     

Artificial Intelligence and Technology in Teaching Negotiation

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), affective computing, and big‐data techniques are improving the ways that humans negotiate and learn to negotiate. These technologies, long deployed in industry and academic research, are now being adopted for educational use. We describe several systems that help human negotiators evaluate and learn from role‐play simulations as well as applications that help human instructors teach negotiators at the individual, team, and organizational levels. AI can enable the personalization of negotiation instruction, taking into consideration factors such as culture and bias. These tools will enable improvements not only in the teaching of negotiation, but also in teaching humans how to program and collaborate with technology‐based negotiation systems, including avatars and computer‐controlled negotiation agents. These advances will provide theoretical and practical insights, require serious consideration of ethical issues, and revolutionize the way we practice and teach negotiation.

马克思现代性批判的理路探析

马克思对现代性的批判是建立在对现实社会生活的考察基础之上的。马克思在历史发展的语境中分析了现代性的价值,阐述了实现人的自由与解放是人的发展、社会发展的应然目标。但是,马克思并没有停留在对人与社会发展目标的道德批判,而是利用科学发展的成就,客观分析社会生产力变革的进步意义,提出人的发展的社会基础以及发展的三个阶段的理论。马克思批判现代性,以历史原则使道德理想、人本关怀与科学理性价值获得统一,确立批判现代性问题的历史立场,探寻认识现代性及其人的发展问题的正确理路。     

论“实质法治”:概念与价值——从中、西法治概念的历史与差异切入

中、西法治在概念与内涵上存在巨大差异。具体来说,传统的中国法治是在"法治"概念下的"人治",以义务为本位,强调官僚特权;而西方的"法治"则注重"规则"的作用,以权利为本位,保障公民平等。"实质法治"这一概念既继承了中国社会的传统法制,也吸纳了西方法治文明的先进成果,是适合中国"法治国家"建设的"法治"概念。     

Social divides in the age of globalization

Abstract

In recent decades, a new integration-demarcation cleavage has emerged in Europe, pitting political parties in favour of globalisation against those opposing globalisation. Although a lot is known about the socio-structural basis and the political organisation of this cleavage, we do not know the extent to which these political divides have led to social divides. Therefore, this article investigates how losers and winners of globalisation oppose each other. On the basis of representative online experiments in Germany and Austria, this article studies attitudes and behaviour towards people with different nationalities, education, and party preferences, which correspond to the cultural, socio-structural, and organisational elements of the new cleavage. More particularly, the extent to which people are willing to interact with each other in daily life and how much they trust each other is investigated. The main results show that people who identify with different parties (especially if they belong to the other side of the cleavage) oppose each other much more strongly than people with different nationalities. There is no divide, however, between the low-skilled and high-skilled. Finally, it appears that the social divides are asymmetrical: the winners of globalisation resent the losers more than the other way round.     

关怀型伦理环境对员工亲组织非伦理行为的影响 —— 基于医药企业的调查

工作场所中的员工亲组织非伦理行为违背了社会伦理准则,但其亲组织性却可以促进组织获取利益,综合而言,该行为兼具了利己与利他动机。基于情感事件理论框架,构建以情感承诺为中介,以积极情绪为调节的中介模型,检验关怀型伦理环境对员工亲组织非伦理行为影响的内在机制。收集来自北京和哈尔滨6家医药企业的调研数据,运用多层次线性回归分析和验证性因素分析法进行实证分析。研究结果表明,关怀型伦理环境对员工的亲组织非伦理行为具有显著的正向影响;情感承诺在关怀型伦理环境与亲组织非伦理行为的关系中发挥部分中介作用;积极情绪在关怀型伦理环境与情感承诺的关系中发挥正向调节作用;积极情绪在情感承诺与亲组织非伦理行为的关系中发挥正向调节作用。     

论建设马克思主义学习型政党的科学维度与价值维度

党的十七届四中全会提出建设马克思主义学习型政党的任务。这一重大课题和历史任务是我们党着眼于新时期新任务而提出的，显示出党对于自身历史方位及执政使命的清醒把握。从历史和战略的视野来看，它具有科学维度和价值维度，两者是有机统一的。正确理解和把握这两个基本维度，对于我们在新时期加强党的建设，完成时代赋予我们的任务，推进中国特色社会主义事业的发展具有重大的理论和实践意义。     

《资本论》及其手稿社会发展观探析

马克思哲学的实践论转向,开辟了发展哲学的新范式。在这一范式下,马克思在其经济学著述《资本论》及其手稿《1857-1858年经济学手稿》等中对现代社会发展问题进行了深入的研究。从商品——货币——资本运动中人的生存境遇的角度探索马克思经济学文本中的发展思想,对于马克思社会发展理论的深入研究具有拓展价值。     

Forming “affective communities” and narrative forms of affection: Damon Galgut’s Arctic Summer

This article examines Arctic Summer (2014) by Damon Galgut, a biographical novel focused on a period in the life of British author E.M. Forster. My inquiry is concerned with narrative form and aesthetics that limn affiliations between the two authors’ creative and sexual sensibilities and struggles, and how forms of affective affiliations are forged through narration and narrative stylistics. I discuss critical responses to Galgut’s oeuvre and trends in South African literary production post-1994, to introduce ideas about his non-conformist creative impulses. I reflect on hybrid narrative form, generic ambiguities, and aesthetics to consider how affective affiliations are fashioned in Arctic Summer and beyond the boundaries of the text when compared to Galgut’s In a Strange Room (2010). Leela Gandhi’s thoughts on “affective communities” inform my argument that the representation of sexuality and bonds of affection in Arctic Summer enables formal and nonconformist affinities across temporal and spatial registers.
