Unheard Voices: Why Former Child Welfare Workers Left Their Positions

This mixed methods study used a snowball sample (n = 54) to capture retrospective insight from former public child welfare workers about job satisfaction and reasons they left their positions. Responses to open-ended questions suggested a theme of lack of organizational support as the primary reason they left. Former workers also reported that they wanted a voice and someone to hear their concerns, greater recognition, and opportunity to practice self-care. Quantitatively, workers in their positions 8 years or longer were the most satisfied on a 19-item global scale examining job satisfaction. Respondents were unhappy with their workloads and emotional impact of their positions.     

公务员情绪智力与工作绩效关系及开发实证研究

根据研究假设,以347份问卷调查结果对公务员情绪智力与其工作绩效的关系进行实证研究。研究结果表明:公务员情绪智力中的自我觉知、自我管理、社会觉知和社交技巧四个维度对任务绩效和关系绩效均有显著正向影响,这四个维度的不同表现水平,将带来公务员工作绩效的差异。据此,为了有效提升公务员情绪智力水平,本文从编制情绪智力词典、开发情绪智力测评体系、个人发展、组织发展等角度提出了对策建议。     

濒危物种保护压力下的乡村发展困境——陕西朱鹮国家级保护区的例子

陕西朱鹮国家级保护区的调查与分析表明,保护优先原则绝对化与片面化的贯彻,不仅抑制了社区和当地人的发展,而且也降低了以此为基础的保护绩效。当地社区所采用的“参与式发展”模式,存在着体制和立法等与中国广大农村现实不能完全适应的问题。这些困境都有待于关注“本土化”的人类学进行深入研究。     

论劳动教养立法的几个基础性问题——建立我国轻罪处罚制度的理论创新

轻罪处罚制度的不足是我国刑事立法和刑事司法制度中的一个板块性缺损。中国刑事立法犯罪概念的特点决定了中国刑法上的犯罪实际上是严重或较为严重的犯罪 ,而不包括轻罪 ,因此 ,应当以劳动教养立法为契机建立中国的轻罪处罚体系。轻罪处罚法律制度的建立和完善 ,在理论和实践两个方面都面临一系列必须回答的基本问题。这些问题的解决除了需要立法和司法等方面的客观条件外 ,还需要具有根本性意义的理论创新。这就需要从理论上形成和提出问题 ,并给予科学的说明 ,为轻罪处罚制度提供必需的理论支撑。     

警察职业倦怠影响因素调查

职业倦怠是指在以人为服务对象的职业领域中,个体的一种情感衰竭、人格解体和个人成就感降低的症状。警察工作的特殊性使其比普通人产生更多的职业倦怠。这种不良的心理状态会直接影响其心身健康,使其工作士气和情绪受损,同时还阻碍警务人员工作绩效、创新能力以及自我效能感等方面的提高。     

Childhood Abusive and Supportive Experiences, Inter-Parental Violence, and Parental Alcohol Use: Prediction of Young Adult Depressive Symptoms and Aggression

Issues in both the children of alcoholics and child abuse literatures were addressed in an attempt to disentangle the effects on young adults of growing up in alcoholic homes versus abusive homes. Using multiple regression, retrospective reports of parental abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual) and parental support (love/support, independence, and fairness), witnessing violence between parents, and parental alcohol use were used as predictor variables for outcomes noted by both literatures. When the effects of all other predictors were statistically controlled, parental alcohol use was not significantly related to depressive symptoms or aggression. Different abusive and supportive behaviors, depending on sex of parent and sex of participant, were significant predictors of both depression and aggression. Results underscore the importance of including and controlling for inter-parental violence and for different types of child abuse (especially emotional abuse) and parental supportive behaviors in investigations of outcomes related to abusive and alcoholic families. Implications for treatment of individuals from these families are discussed.     

宋词中的“扇”意象及其内涵与情感基调

到了宋代,"扇"意象成为词中常见的意象之一.无论通过"扇"为女性代言,还是借女性"团扇"之悲写不遇之情,还是直言"扇"写词人自己的惜别、怀旧或是寄寓之情,总笼罩着一层颇为感伤的情感色彩.这与"扇"意象本身的文化积淀及宋词总体的情感基调有着密切的关系."扇"意象在宋词中得到更深更远的发展,充满永恒的艺术魅力.     

Coparent Support and Conflict in African American Single Mother-Headed Families: Associations With Maternal and Child Psychosocial Functioning

This longitudinal investigation examined main and interactive effects of coparent support and conflict on mother and child adjustment in 248 low-income, African American, single mother-headed families. The findings indicated that coparent conflict was a more robust predictor of mother and child maladjustment both cross-sectionally and longitudinally than was coparent support. Moreover, findings revealed that coparent conflict and support interacted to predict one parenting behavior, monitoring, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Coparent relationships characterized by high levels of support and low levels of conflict were associated with the highest levels of parental monitoring behavior, whereas coparent relationships characterized by low levels of support and high levels of conflict were associated with the lowest levels of monitoring. The findings highlight the importance of examining both positive and negative aspects of coparent relationships in this at-risk, but understudied, group.     

A Participant Evaluation of the U.S. Navy Parent Support Program

This study reports on the results of a program evaluation of the U.S. Navy New Parent Support Program (NPSP). NPSP is comprised of two components: center-based parenting classes and home-based visits. Data are presented on: (a) satisfaction with program quality, (b) how well the program met its primary objectives (e.g., helps reduce parenting stress), (c) how well the NPSP met its Reasons for Being (RFBs; e.g., Helps service members concentrate on their job), and (d) program impact on mission-related outcomes (i.e., quality of life (QOL), readiness, and program impact on their decision to remain in the military). Results indicate that parents who take part in both the parenting classes and home-based visits report that the program exceeded their expectations, the program improved their perceptions of their parenting and coping skills, they perceived that the program demonstrated the Navy’s concern for Sailors and their families, and the program enhanced the family’s quality of life. Implications of study findings are discussed.
