Examining Callous‐unemotional Traits and Anxiety in a Sample of Incarcerated Adolescent Females

Callous‐unemotional (CU) traits (e.g., lack of guilt and empathy) are a risk factor associated with antisocial behavior. Youth with CU traits can be differentiated by varying levels of co‐occurring anxiety. In this study, we examined CU variants in incarcerated adolescent females (n = 109) and their associations with emotional and behavioral problems and history of maltreatment. Semi‐structured interviews were also conducted with a subsample of the participants (n = 13). Participants with CU traits and anxiety had similar levels of conduct problems compared to individuals with high CU traits without anxiety, but they reported more childhood maltreatment (especially sexual abuse).     

Spousal visa law and structural violence: fear,anxiety and terror of the everyday

Attending to mundane bureaucratic politics can highlight forms of everyday structural violence. This article draws attention to the spousal visa law in the UK. On the surface, this law does violence to family life, forcing indefinite separation. However, this law is also symbolic of some of the main structural violence in society that cross-cut gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, age, education level and profession, thus making tangible some of the intangible borders in society. Through the vehicle of this law we will consider how structural violence can operate as an everyday terror, disrupting the boundaries of public and private life.     

高职英语的计算机和网络辅助教学模式研究

在实验对比研究中,发现计算机和网络辅助语言教学模式有利于提高实验组学生二语学习经验动机,降低其外语课堂焦虑和提高其接受性的英语语言技能,但对其学习策略运用水平的提高作用不显著。另外,计算机和网络辅助语言教学模式对实验组不同水平学生在动机,焦虑及策略运用上的影响也各不相同。为发挥基于计算机和网络在高职公共英语教学中的积极作用,应该建立利用计算机和网络技术促进高职公共英语教学的长效机制,有效提高语言自主学习策略训练效果,重视网络与常规课堂相结合,并积极从固定学习平台向移动学习平台转移。

错位的焦虑——论近年官场小说的权力叙事

近年官场小说权力叙事中的焦虑状态引人瞩目,并突出地以一种"错位的焦虑"呈现,它是社会转型期的症候反应,既表现为传统权术文化与现代政治文化的融合,也表现为权力与利益所展开的恶性角逐,这种权力叙事的书写显示出官场小说尚缺乏深邃的人性关怀。     

If at first you don't succeed

Political and social stability in advanced capitalist societies is threatened both by the impossibility of achieving full employment owing to automation and the transformation of family life and gender relationships. This article explores explanations of these shifts in Jeremy Rifkin's and Ray Pahl's work. It explores alternative models of employment in which formal work is shared and third-sector work is expanded, underwritten by a cultural shift in which work, success and consumption are traded for free time, balance and self-development.
