The neural bases of vitality forms

Unlike emotions, which are short-lasting events accompanied by viscero-motor responses, vitality forms are continuous internal states that modulate the motor behaviors of individuals and are devoid of the autonomic modifications that characterize real emotions. Despite the importance of vitality forms in social life, only recently have neurophysiological studies been devoted to this issue. The first part of this review describes fMRI experiments, showing that the dorso-central insula is activated during the execution, the perception and the imagination of arm actions endowed with different vitality forms as well as during the hearing and the production of speech conveying vitality forms. In the second part, we address the means by which the dorso-central insula modulates the networks for controlling action execution and how the sensory and interoceptive information is conveyed to this insular sector. Finally, we present behavioral data showing the importance of vitality forms in social interactions.     

“懒惰”对人类科技进步的影响

人类的"懒惰"表现为更舒适、便捷、低劳动强度的生活追求,从社会意识和个人意识两个层面推动科技进步。然而,这种影响是相对的、辩证的,懒惰是科技进步的动力之一,但科技进步反过来对人自身的影响也是双面的,可能会加剧人性中已有的懒惰因素(消极的懒惰)。应激发"懒惰"的积极因素,抑制"懒惰"的消极因素(追求不劳而获)。     

体育活动对大学生心境和情绪的影响实验研究

采用POMS测量工具,经过筛选后,对安阳师范学院120名得分较高的大学生进行3个月的体育锻炼指导实验,结果表明:1)有规律、有计划、有组织的体育锻炼能够有效地改善大学生的心境和情绪状态;2)不同的体育运动项目在对大学生的心境的不同方面有不同程度的影响;3)体育锻炼对大学生的心境影响过程中,存在着性别差异,这可能与学生项目选择中的性别偏好有关.建议有关部门采取有效措施尽快进行大学内的体育俱乐部改革;尽可能满足大学生的体育锻炼的需要,但要有一定的纪律或契约的约束.

新闻标题得体与否的正负偏离解析范式——《语海扬帆——王希杰语言随笔集》读后

从新闻标题制作角度评介王希杰著、朱峰编《语海扬帆——王希杰语言随笔集》一书,总结归纳该书对新闻标题得体与否五个方面的体认:一、准确性与关联性;二、寻常词语艺术化;三、陌生化与适度性;四、韵律与意义;五、言外之义与作者意图。《语海》虽然并非新闻学方面的专著而是一本语言学作品集,但它多处谈及新闻标题的制作问题,并从语言学视角对之进行正负偏离的解析,一定程度上弥补了新闻标题制作艺术专著等的不足或未及。特别是在新闻标题成功与失败的具体原因分析方面更是透彻、独到,使人知其然且知其所以然。《语海》对于新闻标题制作者来说是"开卷有益"的。     

‘My work is bleeding’: exploring students’ emotional responses to first-year assignment feedback

This paper explores the emotional responses that assignment feedback can provoke in first-year undergraduates. The literature on the link between emotions and learning is well established, but surprisingly research on the relationship between emotions and feedback is still relatively scarce. This article aims to make an additional contribution to this emerging field. Semi-structured interviews with 24 first-year undergraduate students from the Humanities and Social Sciences department in a post-1992 institution were conducted. The interview narratives identified how the emotional impact of feedback was related to: prior experiences of education, the significance participants attached to the feedback received on their first assignment and how their interpretations of feedback comments were linked to beliefs about themselves as learners. The implications of these experiences on student ‘belonging’ and learning are discussed. The underlying themes that emerged from the findings are the polarised emotions of anxiety and confidence. Based on the findings, the paper concludes by making recommendations for reconceptualising feedback on first-year assignments. It suggests that a holistic assessment approach, which incorporates timely feedback indicating if students are ‘on the right lines’ with low-stakes assignments, is a practice that may both reduce anxiety and increase confidence to support students.
