论公安院校心理学与心理测试技术的教学衔接

随着犯罪心理测试教学在公安院校的开展,公安院校学生心理学基础的薄弱对教学所带来的负面影响越来越明显。研究发现,目前我国公安院校心理学教育不论在教学体系,还是在教学方法上都存在一定的问题。这些问题不仅导致学生在研究犯罪心理测试时力不从心,而且不利于他们在将来的工作中迅速适应环境,解决这些问题,必须改革公安院校心理学教育的教学体系和教学方法。具体来说,在教学体系改革中,要着重增加“警察心理”与“社会心理学”等内容,在教学方法改革中,要强化案例教学研究,尝试研究性学习,加强操作性训练。     

劫持者心理分析及应对策略

人质谈判是解决劫持事件的方法之一。虽然劫持者之间在动机、需要以及个性等上有个体差异,但是从认知、情绪和情感、意志等三个方面来分析劫持者的心理,找出其共同点,就能在谈判时快速、有效地实施相应的应对措施,从而实现和平解决劫持人质事件。     

别斯兰反劫持失败的心理因素分析

回顾别斯兰人质事件的惨痛教训,我们发现：注意分散、超限效应、“锚定和调整启发式”心理定势、易激惹等心理因素对事件的发展及处置曾产生过重要的影响。由此,可以看出关注、利用积极的心理效应,避免消极心理效应,是反劫持事件处理过程中避免恶性情境出现的关键所在。

A Systematic Review of the Literature Regarding Family Context and Mental Health of Children From Rural Methamphetamine-Involved Families: Implications for Rural Child Welfare Practice

This review of the literature aims to guide practitioners concerned with ameliorating the psychosocial effects for rural-dwelling children from homes where methamphetamine is used or produced. Although a substantial body of research exists regarding the environmental dangers and physical health risks to children from methamphetamine-affected homes, there is a paucity of research regarding child psychosocial outcomes. This article summarizes the published literature examining family contexts and psychological and behavioral consequences for children. Implications of this body of knowledge for child welfare practitioners, limitations of the studies reviewed, and future research directions are discussed.     

What Happened?

ABSTRACT

This article presents an overview and historical analysis of child welfare from its inception in the 19th century through the Social Security Act of 1935 and into the present. An argument is made that the historical de-professionalization of child welfare is reflected in changing societal values and resultant legislation framing investments in child welfare, as well as the influence of child welfare on the quality of services to children and families. De-professionalization has resulted in lowering the professional credentials of child welfare staff, increasing levels of employee turnover, the formulation of questionable policies, all affecting the quality of services to children and families. Implications of the findings for the re-professionalization of child welfare and for policy and practice are discussed.     

Evolutionary psychology and politics

Like its predecessor sociobiology, evolutionary psychology has distanced itself from political discourse. In so far as evolutionary psychology can contribute towards an understanding of politics, it claims to do so only as a potential explanation for political behaviour. However, I argue that evolutionary psychology - like sociobiology - is itself a political phenomenon. It proceeds from a conception of the political - drawn from the Hobbesian social contract tradition - which crucially informs its theoretical trajectory. A recognition of the political character of evolutionary psychology, in this respect, should be the starting point of its critique.     

Exploring Indian Child Welfare Act implementation and case outcomes

Despite the passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) more than four decades ago, little is known about how or how well it is being implemented into practice by the state courts or how implementation may be related to improved outcomes for Indian children and families. This study explores how ICWA implementation in five state court sites is related to case outcomes. One hundred and fifty-one ICWA cases were reviewed for factors including active efforts findings, tribal presence at hearings, use of qualified expert witness (QEW) testimony, notice, and confirmation of ICWA status. Results are mixed. Specific ICWA implementation measures and aggregate measures were mostly not related to outcomes, but early implementation, such as having the tribe present at the first hearing, did appear related to timely permanency. Implications of these findings and future research directions are discussed.     

Assessing child-safe culture and practices in organisational settings: a validation and refinement of Kaufman's Organisational Safety Climate Survey

ABSTRACT

Using an Australian sample of employees (n?=?1068) we assessed the psychometric properties of Kaufman’s Organisational Safety Climate Survey and its practical utility for measuring child-safe culture within organisations. The 60-item survey was found to have adequate psychometric properties. Initial factor analyses indicated a unidimensional factor structure, despite the survey being originally conceptualised into four subscales. Cronbach’s α coefficients were .95 for the full survey, with subscales ranging from .65–.94. However, qualitative feedback from respondents indicated that the survey was somewhat laborious and repetitive, with some item ambiguity noted. Refinements to the survey resulted in a 24-item short-form survey. The psychometric properties of the short-form survey were re-assessed. Factor analyses indicated a three-factor solution. Despite a significant reduction in items, internal consistency of the scale was not compromised; reliability of subscales also improved. Validation of this short-form survey as an alternative, time-efficient measure to maximise employee participation and contribution, is recommended.
