当代青年生存无意义感的理性反思

随着现代科技的迅猛发展和由传统文化建构的意义世界的解体,不少青年人在面对瞬息万变及复杂多样的现代生活时逐渐丧失了支撑其生命活动的价值资源和意义归宿,产生了身心分离的碎片感、疲惫感、宿命感和孤独无助感。对此,德育工作必须改变过去“纯工具化”理性,赋予当代青年更多的人文关怀,如生命情感关怀、终极信仰关怀、社会责任感关怀和苦难与死亡意义的关怀等,引导他们超越自身的有限性和现实的物质纷扰,追求生命的永恒价值。

Comparison of Anonymous Versus Confidential Survey Procedures: Effects on Health Indicators in Dutch Adolescents

Self-report questionnaires are frequently used in youth research, but doubt remains whether total anonymity affects the results. This study compared the responses of 704 mainly 16–17-year-old adolescents to self-report measures of various health indicators in 2 groups: anonymous and confidential collection. For most health indicators no significant differences were found. Perceived health, use of alcohol, and aggressive behavior (for boys) were reported significantly less frequently in the confidential group (small effect size). It appeared that pupils with high scores on social desirability do not respond differently at most health indicators in the 2 conditions. For most health characteristics, epidemiologically useful outcomes may be derived from confidential self-report measures, which are also valuable for detecting individual at-risk children. Similar studies in lower grades and other types of education should confirm the results.Youth Department, Municipal Health Service Rotterdam area.

Epistemic Reasoning and Adolescent Egocentrism: Relations to Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms in Problem Youth

This investigation addressed the question of how two forms of social cognitive reasoning – epistemic reasoning and adolescent egocentrism – interface with externalizing and internalizing forms of psychopathology during adolescence. Adolescents’ epistemic reasoning (i.e., types of belief entitlement, or degree of doubt, held by an individual when confronted with contradictory sides of an issue), and imaginary audience and personal fable ideation, were assessed in a sample of 29 adolescent boys with behavioral problems and 30 of their peers without behavioral problems. To assess internalizing and externalizing symptomatology, teachers completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL-TRF). Results revealed that, compared to those without behavior problems, boys with behavioral problems were lower in epistemic reasoning. Further analyses revealed consistent relations between dimensions of social cognitive reasoning to specific forms of psychopathology. These findings suggest that social cognitive reasoning, particularly epistemic doubt, is important in understanding problem behaviors among typical and atypical adolescents.

多元文化背景下的青少年教育

文化的多元化使各种文化冲突相继出现,从层面上看,主要是中西文化冲突、精英文化与大众文化冲突、主流文化与非主流文化冲突。这些冲突,对我国社会生活各个层面特别是青少年教育产生了不同程度的影响。文化冲突使青少年学生的价值观整合过程,往往不可避免地遇到矛盾和冲突,以致于部分学生出现了价值混乱、无所适从的感觉。要迎接多元文化的挑战,教育就必须拆除有形、无形的围墙,加强与社会的联系；必须改变自命清高、孤芳自赏的心态,承担起应有的文化职责。具体说来,当前至少应该做好以下工作：1．树立多文化教育观。2．坚持客观分析、兼容并蓄。3．直面文化冲突,采取切实措施进行积极应对。     

后现代语境与我国青年文化

后现代因素已渗入我国的文化发展之中,青年文化所受影响更甚,已呈现出某些后现代的特征,如时尚文化的低俗化、文化运作商业化、价值标准多元化、文化理性的缺失、行为方式的异化等。我们有必要对其进行反思,探索后现代语境下的青年文化建设策略。

青少年体质健康教育研究

世界上很多国家非常重视体质研究工作,并研制了适合本国特点的体质测定方案。我国近30年来在青少年体质研究方面取得了显著的成果,几次大的体质健康普查和调研,以及制定的各种学校教育的各项法规,对促进我国青少年的体质健康起到了重要的推动作用。从长远看,对青少年体质的心理方面的研究应成为今后体质健康教育的重点和突破方向。     

二次就业教育应对城市青年失业

调查发现,城市失业青年较大比例从批发、零售贸易和餐饮业等不太需要技术或技能且薪水较低的行业中失业,主要原因是没有一定的职业技术或职业技能。所以,加强对城市失业青年的二次教育,提高个人素养和能力,才是解决城市失业青年问题的有效途径。
