1896—1911年摩根财团对中国铁路特权的争夺

19世纪末至20世纪初,美国几大精英银行集团都在为抢夺投资市场份额而激烈竞争。作为美国顶尖的投行之一,摩根财团也是最早尝试在中国输出资本的美国财团。从京汉铁路投资开始,摩根财团逐渐进入中国市场并在这一市场上占有一席之地。在列强瓜分中国的狂潮中,作为后来者的美国,由政府支持以摩根财团为首的美国银行团参与湖广等几条主要铁路贷款的争夺,并最终形成四国国际银行财团。西方列强对中国铁路特权的争夺进一步激化了中国国内矛盾,客观上促进了中国国内民族运动的兴起,保路运动开始在各地风起云涌。随后爆发的辛亥革命推翻了清政府的统治,也使得各国财团遭遇严重的挫折。

The effects of evaluation conditions on “continuing motivation” study of the cultural,personological and situational antecedents of a motivational pattern

This study compares the effects of three different evaluation conditions on the “continuing motivation” of grade school students in Iran and the U.S. In both cultural groups, the highest continuing motivation was shown by students in a self-evaluation condition followed, in order, by students in the peer comparison and teacher evaluation conditions. While the generalizability of evaluation effects is perhaps the most striking finding, it may he noted that these effects were to some extent modified by individual differences in achieving orientation and sex role. Also of interest were the effects of performance level on continuing motivation, In this case, higher levels of performance on the task were generally followed by greater continuing motivation. The theoretical implications of this and other findings were discussed in terms of Current achievement theory.
