Why Does Citizens' Knowledge of New Policy Vary Between Municipalities? The Case of the Social Support Act

Providing information to citizens is an important first step in the implementation of new policy. In this study we explain differences in the knowledge of citizens between municipalities of a newly introduced law in the Netherlands, the Social Support Act, 10 months after it became into force. This law is especially important for older people that need support in their daily functioning and participation. We focused on two aspects of knowledge related to the act, i.e. having heard of the new act, and knowing how voice with regard to policy on support is organised in the place of residence. Given that socialist local governments focus more on social topics than liberal local governments, we expected citizens of municipalities with socialist councils to have more knowledge about the new Social Support Act. Contrary to our expectations, citizens from municipalities where a liberal party or a collaboration of liberal/socialist parties is the largest, have a better understanding of how voice is organised. On the other hand, citizens in municipalities with an alderman from a combination of liberal/socialist parties have a lower chance of having heard of the Social Support Act. We argue that in view of the Social Support Act, the ideology of a local government related to citizens' responsibilities (liberal view) may have more influence on citizens' knowledge than being a government that pays attention to social issues (socialist view). As far as individual differences between citizens are concerned, as expected, older people that are more educated but in poorer health status have more knowledge about the new act. A higher educational level and an excellent mental health status are related to more knowledge about voice. Educational level is the most powerful predictor for knowledge about the act.

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS TO SUGGESTIBILITY AND COMPLIANCE

People who are experiencing alcohol withdrawal are disadvantaged in terms of their ability to cope with leading questions and interrogative pressure (i.e. interrogative suggestibility). What had not been studied previously was the relationship of the severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms with suggestibility and compliance. Suggestibility and compliance scores, obtained during the first week of hospital admission, were correlated with the severity of alcohol symptoms measured on a daily basis over a 7‐day period in a group of 393 patients attending treatment for alcohol abuse problems. Separate analyses were performed for the male and female patients. Significant gender differences emerged. Among males, alcohol withdrawal symptoms correlated positively with suggestibility and compliance across days. In contrast, among the females alcohol withdrawal symptoms were not significantly correlated with suggestibility and compliance, but were related to confabulations in memory recall. The findings suggest that in relation to psychological vulnerabilities during questioning, alcohol withdrawal symptoms are associated with different psychological factors in males and females. The findings have implications for the potential unreliability of information obtained from people interviewed during alcohol withdrawal.     

高校心理健康与思想政治教育差异及融合研究

目前,高校心理健康教育与思想政治教育二者在教育目标、理论基础、基本内容、工作方法以及工作主体等方面都有着明显的差异。同时,大学生的思想品德和行为问题往往是心理问题和思想问题相互交织。心理健康教育与思想教育有机结合的对策主要包括:教育目标和内容的有机结合;综合利用教育资源,形成立体教育网络模式;培养高校辅导员掌握一定的心理健康教育技能;加强思想政治教师的心理健康素质培养;建立心理档案,为思想政治教育提供参考依据与技术支持;不同社会文化的冲击下,健全完善学生人格。

中学生对学校体育需求的研究——以济南市为例

考查了中学生对学校体育需求的状况,并对性别差异进行了比较分析,目的是为中学学校体育课程改革提供理论和实践依据。结果发现:一是济南市中学生对学校体育课学习需求共有情意目标学习需求等五个维度,其中对运动能力发展需求最高,在认知目标学习需求维度上男生显著高于女生。二是济南市中学生对校内体育活动比赛需求共有情意目标学习需求等四个维度,且在体育活动规划需求和竞技特殊价值需求两个维度存在显著的性别差异,男生在体育活动规划需求平均数低于女生,在竞技特殊价值需求则高于女生。三是济南市学生,对校外体育活动比赛需求共有运动竞赛利益需求、学生辅导需求、竞赛规划需求和情意目标学习需求等四个维度,不同性别的学生,并无差异存在。     

海峡两岸关系未来发展的中华传统文化基础

今日海峡两岸关系问题,从某种意义上讲,是中华传统文化影响而生的中国式问题。按"和平统一、一国两制"构想,未来两岸关系发展,应是"求同存异"前提下互利合作不断加深。作为两岸"共同语言""共同兴趣爱好"的传统文化,正是未来两岸关系发展的坚实基础。传统文化在两岸关系中的这一重要角色作用,过去并未受到足够重视,没有发挥应有作用。文化上的"中国"或"中华"因素的充分适当运用,也许是推进未来两岸关系发展的最重要方略之一。     

试析全球治理中的理念差异

全球化的发展带来众多的全球性问题，催生了全球治理理论的兴起。解决全球性问题超出单一国家的能力范畴，需要国际社会的共同努力。对全球治理理念的不同理解，影响着治理模式的构成及对治理的有效性形成制约。在对权力至上、制度至上和层级划分治理理念的差异进行辨析的基础上，从治理主体、机制和手段方面考察全球治理模式的新变化，可为中国在全球治理体系内选择合理、恰当的角色提供思考。
