An Information Model to Present Proposals to Increase Taxes: Two Examples in the Context of American Values

This article offers an information model for educating the public on the rationale for a tax increase. It argues that citizens exposed to two types of information—a need narrative and an anchor value—are more willing to support a tax increase. The applicability of the model is illustrated with two examples in which the model was used to structure the presentation of information. In both situations, exposure to the specific types of information suggested by the model is associated with support for a tax increase. The conclusion relates the model to the findings of previous research on the attributes of successful referenda campaigns for tax increases.     

Legislative Recruitment and Models of Party Organisation: Evidence from Australia

This paper considers the relationship between the growing dominance of career politicians in the Australian federal legislature and models of party organisation. Using data on MPs in the Australian federal parliament, this study maps changes in models of party organisation to the occupational profiles of MPs between 1949 and 2007. The findings show a correspondence between the phenomenon of cartelisation and the appearance of legislators whose previous occupation was in the political sphere. The authors suggest that there is a relationship between different modes of party organisation and both the supply of candidates and the demand-side factors influencing party selectors. The paper concludes that theories of recruitment should include a greater emphasis on models of party organisation to explain better the uniformity of recruitment outcomes across advanced democracies.     

Reflections on Calling and Careers in Community Psychology

SUMMARY

The current essay discusses the narratives of five community psychologists from the perspective of a career “calling.” Each of the essays highlight different components of a calling: employing deep discernment to know the right path for oneself; experiencing a calling to do one's work, an invitation to which we choose to respond; serving community; discovering your quintessential self or “genius”; and using your gifts for the common good. Moreover, the author discusses how the essays not only illustrate calling, but also the emergence of confidence and the subjective career.

有罪推定与"沉锚"效应

心理学上的"沉锚"效应也就是我们常说的思维惯性或者思维定势陷入.在刑事司法活动中,如果办案人员先入为主地认为犯罪嫌疑人或被告人有罪,那么,有罪推定的思想会渗透到办案人员的具体行动中,不但会妨碍被追诉人合法权利的实现,更糟糕的是,有可能因此而错误认定事实和证据,甚至冤枉无辜.因此,从有罪推定与沉锚效应角度研究与检视我国刑事诉讼中存在的有罪推定现象,有利于我们正视有罪推定观念的危害性,进而尽快加以消除,最终在刑事诉讼中树立无罪推定的理念.
