Abstracts of dissertations in the field of speech, 1966

This paper proposes and illustrates the application of a non‐metric multidimensional scaling approach to recovering the structure of judgments of communicator credibility: solutions are proposed to certain recurrent problems in the application of factor analysis to such research.     

Ranking scholars: A measure representation

A scholar can be identified with his citation list and a scholar ranking is a complete order on the set of scholars. We characterize those scholar rankings that admit a measure representation.

Psychological reactance theory suggests that a persuasive message which is perceived as a threat to a receiver's attitudinal freedom will produce attitude change away from the recommended position. Prior research has demonstrated that the boomerang effect is prominent particularly among receivers in extreme disagreement with a persuasive message. This experiment focused on the extreme opponent and explored a method of attenuating the boomerang effect. Some subjects were given the opportunity to argue in support of their initial opinions prior to exposure to a threatening message, while others were not afforded this opportunity. It was assumed that prior bolstering would amount to an exercise of the opinion freedom to be threatened by the forthcoming message, and thereby eliminate the otherwise expected negative effects. Results strongly supported this assumption. The threat variable reduced persuasivness only among subjects who did not bolster their initial opinions. In contrast, no boomerang effect was observed among subjects given the chance to exercise their attitudinal freedom prior to exposure to a threatening message.

清儒辑佚缘起考

清代辑佚的繁兴是和当时社会的政治、经济、文化等因素密切相关的,但具体到每一位学者而言,他们辑佚的缘起又有所不同。文章从为学术研究、重视某类文献、不满已有辑本、重应用、因师承家学五个方面对清儒辑佚的缘起进行了初步探讨。     

Use of social networking sites by research scholars of the University of Delhi: A study

The main purpose of the paper is to explore how research scholars of University of Delhi integrated Social Networking Sites (SNSs) into their daily communication for research work. A structured questionnaire was designed and personally distributed 160 respondents. Most used SNSs for “lurking” while few used such sites for promoting one’s research. Additionally, most respondents preferred the SNS Facebook and ResearchGate for academic purposes. Collaborative and peer-to-peer learning were common benefits from SNSs while some expressed concern regarding cyber-bullying and privacy. Finally, a majority of respondents said using SNSs may be a waste of time.

A preliminary study of the verbal behavior of speech fright

A general paradigm of a rating error theory is presented with a study testing relationships from the theory. The study aimed to discover the effects of source credibility, attitude valence, and task sensitization on trait errors in the evaluation of speeches. The main hypothesis of the study was an interaction effect on trait errors in the speech ratings. The results indicate a significant triple interaction, suggesting that when speech raters are sensitized to the task and are in favor of the view of the speaker, their trait errors on “ideas” will favor a low credibility speaker. The results are explained in terms of attraction and similarity.     

Rethinking the effect of inter-gender collaboration on research performance for scholars

As scientific collaboration has become more common with increased representation of female scholars, the effects of inter-gender collaboration have attracted more attention. However, scholars have not reached a consensus on the relationship between inter-gender collaboration and research performance. Empirical evidence at the scholar level has also been rare. Therefore, based on the ratio of the opposite sex in collaboration partners, this study reveals the influence of participating in inter-gender collaborations on research performance for scholars. Grouped regression was employed to test gender differences in this effect. The effect of partners’ academic levels was also investigated to account for potential gender differences. The results indicated that inter-gender collaboration had a positive effect on research performance for scholars. Grouped regressions also showed that collaborating with more inter-gender partners exerted a significantly negative effect on the research performance of female scholars, while it had a positive effect for male scholars. The negative effect on female scholars were found to be strengthened if the partners were at a high academic level. This study is helpful to understand inter-gender collaboration in depth, and further reveals the gender differences in scientific collaboration.     

新闻点评中大众传媒和专家学者之间关系的异化可能

新闻点评是大众传媒呈现的新闻产品之一。大众传媒和专家学者之间的关系,并非如新闻点评所呈现出来的那样简单、可靠。本文认为,双方的关系中隐含了各种力量的抗衡,从而产生了不同的互动模式。双方在这些模式中扮演不同的角色,共同造就呈现在受众面前的新闻产品。本文试图描绘新闻生产背后的运作过程,并且分析不同模式的意志归属。据分析,在这些互动模式中,大部分是双方关系异化的表现。而产生异化的原因,归根结底是新闻场和学术场之间的结构性矛盾。本文呼吁摈弃合谋的不正当状态,强调建立独立的知识分子评价体系、独立的新闻生产体系及富有专业精神的正当合作。
