Relationship Reciprocation Modulates Resource Allocation in Adolescent Social Networks: Developmental Effects

Adolescence is characterized as a period of social reorientation toward peer relationships, entailing the emergence of sophisticated social abilities. Two studies (Study 1: N = 42, ages 13–17; Study 2: N = 81, ages 13–16) investigated age group differences in the impact of relationship reciprocation within school‐based social networks on an experimental measure of cooperation behavior. Results suggest development between mid‐ and late adolescence in the extent to which reciprocation of social ties predicted resource allocation. With increasing age group, investment decisions increasingly reflected the degree to which peers reciprocated feelings of friendship. This result may reflect social‐cognitive development, which could facilitate the ability to navigate an increasingly complex social world in adolescence and promote positive and enduring relationships into adulthood.

青少年外显攻击与内隐攻击的发展性研究

为探究青少年攻击行为的发展情况,采用问卷法和IAT实验法对青少年的攻击行为进行研究,得出结论:外显维度上男性青少年比女性青少年更具攻击性;发展趋势上初一年级外显攻击性最高,初二年级显著下降,初三年级显著升高。内隐维度上无性别差异;发展趋势上初一年级内隐攻击性最低,初二年级最高,初三年级介于二者之间。     

Child and Adolescent Use of Mobile Phones: An Unparalleled Complex Developmental Phenomenon

This article addresses why children's use of mobile phones is an unparalleled complex developmental phenomenon in hopes of providing a broad context for this special section. It first outlines mobile phones as a sophisticated personalized and multifunction technology. Then it presents mobile phone use by children as an unparalleled complex developmental phenomenon on the basis of its four behavioral elements, two mobile cultures, and two developmental processes. It further illustrates the existing knowledge about children's mobile phones use that has been accumulated over the past 23 years and highlights 12 most studied topics, especially distracted driving and radiation exposure. It concludes with three types of scientific contributions made by the 12 articles in the special section.     

Creativity in education

Currently considerable interest is being shown in creativity by the government and bodies such as QCA and Ofsted. A ‘creativity agenda’ has emerged with important implications for teaching and learning in schools. Drawing on research literature, as well as work completed by Secondary PGCE English and Drama trainees, this paper aims to provoke discussion about how creativity in education is defined and the impact of more explicit understandings of creativity in classrooms.     

Creativity

The habit of our culture has always been to suppose that intelligence resides in some separated crystalline element, call it consciousness, apprehension, insight, gestalt, or what you will, but this is merely to confound naming the problem with solving it (Minsky).     

从关联理论看现代广告语创作

关联理论认为交际是一个明示推理过程。广告作为一种特殊的交际,为了使其产品达到畅销的目的,会针对不同的对象而采用不同的广告语言,使受众能更好地接受其传递的信息。因此,广告人应针对受众不同而采用相应的广告语,使其达到最佳的关联效果。     

创造力研究新进展：多元文化经验对创造力的影响

多元文化经验对创造力的影响研究是创造力和文化心理学领域的前沿问题。文章从多元文化经验提高创造力的研究方法和适应异国文化、学习异国文化、采纳异国文化的观点等多元文化经验提高创造力的心理机制两方面,对近年来这一研究领域的新进展进行了综述。该研究不仅有助于提高个体的创造力,还对于文化心理学具有重要价值。未来可以采用纵向、质性的方法、神经生理指标等多种手段对于多元文化经验提高创造力的相关问题开展进一步的研究和探索。     

On Creativity: A brainstorming session

The article problematizes in aphoristic condensation the heterogeneous concepts of creativity in philosophy, psychology and sociology and outlines their paradoxes. Creativity in these concepts is tied to the human potential to bring into being something new and to the capacity of drawing differences. In its contingency, creativity is ambivalent to a high degree—at one and the same time a desirable resource and a threatening potential. So on the one hand, creativity is meant to be mobilized and set free; on the other hand, it is meant to be controlled and reined in. The imperative of being creative is nowadays connected to the mobilization of the entrepreneurial self. Entrepreneurial action demands permanent innovation—and consequently ceaseless creative exertion. Everybody not only has to be simply creative, but more creative than the others.     

Marital Conflict and Adolescent Distress: The Role of Adolescent Awareness

The present longitudinal study (1989–1991) of seventh-grade adolescents (173 boys, 197 girls; M age = 12.7 in 1989) living in the rural Midwest examined the influence of children's awareness of marital conflict and reported level of parental hostility on symptoms of adolescent distress. The theoretical model guiding the research indirectly linked marital conflict to adolescent perceptions of parents' hostility through the mediating effects of parents and observers' report of hostility toward the adolescent and through adolescent awareness of the frequency of interparental conflict. Controlling for earlier levels of psychological distress, we hypothesized a direct path between adolescent report of parent hostility and adolescent maladjustment. Maximum likelihood estimation of the proposed model showed that marital conflict was significantly related to parents' and observers' reports of parent hostility toward the adolescent and to adolescent awareness of conflict frequency. Both parent hostility and adolescent awareness of the frequency of marital conflicts were significantly related to adolescent perceptions of parent hostility. When controlled for earlier distress, adolescent report of parent hostility significantly predicted the later internalizing and externalizing symptoms of these teenagers. The model predicted externalizing problems for boys but not girls. Otherwise, there were no gender differences in the postulated causal processes.     

Writing Fables: Genre and Creativity

This article explores the relationship between genre and creativity with particular reference to children's writing. It is argued that, although the programme may have been implemented too rigidly, a key emphasis on genre within the National Literacy Strategy is potentially positive. The fable is offered as a particular example, demonstrating that, although too rigid a conception of a genre's formal characteristics may inhibit children's creative engagement, an understanding in depth of the range of purposes to which a particular form may be put is helpful both in providing a good range of models and in responding sensitively to children's writing.
