试析区域范围内的人民币化

亚洲金融危机以来,人民币作为一种重要的结算和支付手段在周边国家和地区越来越被普遍接受和使用,人民币有可能首先在区域范围内形成国际化现象。目前,区域范围内人民币化已经具备了一定的现实基础,但这一过程也充满了不确定性因素,加快金融体系改革和银行体系规范化建设、维持人民币较高的国际信用等有助于推进区域范围内人民币化进程。     

试论理论创新的思维机制

理论创新必须既借助理论又摆脱理论的束缚，克服既成概念对现实的遮蔽，走出唯理主义与经验主义的二元对立。本文通过对思维两大心理要素──语词概念与经验表象在创新思维中互相依存，互动互生，互促共进，由对立到统一的矛盾运动描述，揭示了创新思想生成的言语思维机制。     

围绕构建和谐社会推进群众工作

群众工作是构建社会主义和谐社会的基础性工作。做好群众工作对于构建和谐社会意义重大。同时,建设和谐社会对群众工作提出了新的任务和要求。适应构建和谐社会需要,推进群众工作,必须从多方面作出努力。     

科学发展观与思维方式的变革

思维方式直接支配着人们的行为,要树立科学发展观,必须对以前那些不利于或不适应科学发展的思维方式进行变革。即由以前的功利型思维方式向互利型思维方式的转变,由单一思维向系统思维转变,从对立思维向和谐思维转变。     

实践"三个代表"必须解决好的三个问题

广大党员、领导干部在学习和实践“三个代表”重要思想过程中,必须解决好态度、思路和能力三个问题。     

侦查思维定势分析

思维定势广泛地存在于侦查思维活动之中,并影响和制约着侦查思维活动,在侦查中的作用很大。侦查思维定势有正面价值和负面性,因此要进行一些扬弃。

Need-efficiency trade-offs in the allocation of resources: Ideological and attributional differences in public aid decision making

We examined whether ideological differences influenced perceptions of the underlying causes of public aid applicants’ predicaments, and whether in turn ideology-patterned attributions accounted for how resource allocators prioritized need- and efficiency-related goals in allocating aid. To examine the need-efficiency trade-off, participants (N=112) divided a hypothetical pool of aid applicants for subsidized health insurance into two “incorrect” allocation outcomes: false alarms (allocate aid to unneedy applicants) and misses (deny aid to needy applicants). Moreover, to examine beliefs about the absolute percentage of aid applicants who are truly in need of societal assistance, participants divided the remaining aid applicants into two “correct” allocation outcomes: hits (allocate aid to needy applicants) and correct rejections (deny aid to unneedy applicants). Results of a series of structural equation models indicated that conservatism was linked to the causal belief that aid applicants’ predicaments arise from dispositional rather than situational factors, which in turn predicted a preference for making efficiency-related over need-related resource allocation judgments (e.g., preferring misses to false alarms) and the belief that a relatively small number of aid applicants are truly in need of societal assistance (e.g., preferring correct rejections to hits). Results are discussed in terms of how ideologically driven attributions influence the manner in which people resolve need-efficiency trade-offs inherent in the context of public aid decision making.     

Modeling the longitudinal impact of legal sanctions on narcotics use and property crime

Structural equation models are used to confirm the suppressive effects of legal sanctions, e.g., probation and parole, on narcotics use and property crime. Both concurrent and longitudinal effects of legal sanctions are tested within two different models, which together span the entire addiction career. The findings indicate that (1) the suppressive effects of legal sanctions are evident only when legal sanctions are operationalized as parole or probation officer contact where urine monitoring is utilized; (2) only concurrent suppressive effects are statistically significant, and longitudinal suppressive effects are not; (3) both narcotics use and property crime are suppressed by legal sanctions, although the latter is less responsive than the former to intervention by the criminal justice system; and (4) suppressive effects tend to be more pronounced later in the addiction career. The significance of the findings and the implications for criminological theory related to issues regarding surveillance effects are emphasized.
