The Associations Among Perceived Pubertal Timing, Parental Relations and Self-Perception in Turkish Adolescents

This study is primarily aimed at investigating how pubertal timing is perceived in urban Turkish adolescents in terms of their feelings about maturation, their relationships with their parents, and their self-perception. A total of 697 high-school students (360 girls, 337 boys) between the ages of 14 and 18 (M=16.15, SD=1.08) were included in this study. The findings indicated that most of the adolescents perceived themselves as on-time developers in comparison with their peers. Consistent with widely available research data in the literature regarding the impact of early versus late maturation, girls who mature early and boys who mature late reported more negative feelings about pubertal maturation. In addition, those who matured early reported greater conflict and disagreement with their parents and more negative communication with their fathers than the adolescents who matured on- time. Adolescents who were less satisfied with their physical appearance were more likely to have negative feelings about pubertal maturation. Sex was found to act as a moderator of relationships between global self-worth and feelings about pubertal maturation. In conclusion, this study, conducted with Turkish urban adolescents, suggests that the impact of early versus late maturation differs between girls and boys, which is consistent with widely available data in the literature.

中国社团的现状及其发展趋势

社团是社会经济发展到一定历史阶段的必然产物。伴随着市场经济的发展和国际环境的影响,中国社团的数量将进一步增多,资源的聚集和动员也将趋向多元化,并产生一批有一定影响力的社团精英。社团充分发展之日,才是中国人从“单位人”和“家庭人”变为“社会人”之时。     

建立社保基金投资管理体系的战略思考

我国社保基金的投资管理一直处于十分混乱状态:沉淀于地方省市的1600多亿缴费余额统账混用,没有统一的投资管理策略,回报率低下,存在巨大的金融风险;“全国社保基金”投资策略不尽合理;中央政府不得不额外每年财政转移予以专项补助。将上述三块资源统筹考虑,提出将账户基金、统筹基金、储备基金分离出来,为其设计了不同的投资策略与制度:账户基金应实施完全的资本市场的投资;储备基金应完全走向国际资本市场;统筹基金增值保值问题是个世界性难题,提出应首先完成省级统筹,实行“三离开”的投资原则,并首次提出须避免和谨防“东亚化”的投资倾向,吸取东亚的教训,应为其设立三个投资管理体系。为配合上述投资体系的建立,提出了调整社保缴费比例的设想,认为这个基本框架既符合国际惯例,又符合具体国情,具有中国特色;既有制度创新,又为未来诸如地方开放地方债市等发展留下了空间;既保持了职工收入替代率没有降低,又增强了社保制度的财政可持续性;同时还减轻了国家的财政负担。     

The Right to Do Wrong: Lying to Parents Among Adolescents and Emerging Adults

In this study, 229 high school students and 261 college students evaluated the acceptability of lying to parents under 19 different circumstances where a person's motive for lying differed. Students also indicated the frequency with which they had lied to their parents about diverse issue such as friends, dates, and money. Results indicated that adolescents and emerging adults quite commonly lied to their parents, and that in part they framed lying to parents as a way to assert the right to autonomy. Emerging adults were less accepting of lying and reported less frequent lying, compared to adolescents. Results also showed the association of sex, personality (self-restraint and tolerance of deviance), and family environment (control and cohesion) upon adolescents' and emerging adults' acceptance of lying to parents and lying behavior.

美国的世界秩序观与东亚国际体系的演变(1900-1945)(Ⅰ)

本文从美国的国际秩序观入手,通过考察20世纪上半期东亚国际体系的演变,尝试为这一时期的东亚国际关系建立一个多国的、宏观的分析框架。作者认为:美国从世纪之交就开始谋求在东亚建立一个不同于欧洲权力政治的新的国际秩序,这是美国从建国之初就萌生的改造国际秩序思想的延续;20世纪上半期东亚国际关系的演变过程是美国不断推行和实施其国际秩序思想的过程,美国新的国际秩序思想集中体现在华盛顿体系的建立上;从30年代初直至二战结束,东亚国际关系的演变可以被视为美国捍卫、中国认同、日本挑战华盛顿体系的过程;战后初期美国试图建立的东亚国际秩序不过是华盛顿体系的修正版;华盛顿体系并非仅仅是帝国主义的工具,相反在很多方面有助于中国国家利益的维护。     

政治文化对21世纪中美关系的影响

中国在21世纪的崛起将是不可避免的,而美国作为当前惟一的超级大国,在21世纪仍将对世界发挥不可替代的影响。中美关系如何发展,不仅会影响两国的历史进程,而且还会影响整个世界的历史进程。中美之间存在着许多利益矛盾,也有不少共同利益。未来中美关系的发展,主要取决于两国政治家和战略家如何认识、判定、把握双方的利益矛盾和共同利益,而这种认识、判定和把握,在相当大程度上受政治文化的影响。中美都是文化大国,两国政治文化既有很大的差异,也有许多共性。这些差异和共性从相反的两个方向影响着中美关系,而中美关系的发展前景就取决于差异和共性的消长趋势。     

院外援华集团与中美关系

美国是一个利益集团政治的国家。这些利益集团通过院外游说活动,使自己的利益得到国家政策的保护。跟中国利益有关的集团也通过院外活动对中美关系施加影响,并起着越来越大的作用。     

我国劳动立法与劳动者权益保障

自1994年以来,为适应建立社会主义市场经济体制的需要,我国陆续颁布制定了以《中华人民共和国劳动法》为核心的一系列劳动法律、法规和规章。这些法律的制定和实施对于维护劳动者权益,建立协调稳定的劳动关系发挥了重要作用。但随着我国市场经济的深入发展所带来的劳动关系的复杂多变以及加入WTO所面临的新的形势,我国劳动立法与现实的矛盾不断凸现,亟需进一步予以完善,以更好地保护劳动者的合法权益。
