Disentangling Shape from Level Effects in Person-Centered Analyses: An Illustration Based on University Teachers’ Multidimensional Profiles of Effectiveness

This study compares alternative ways of disentangling the effects of level (the tendency for a person to be high, medium, or low across all factors) and shape (the tendency for a person to have a distinct pattern of factors on which they are high, medium, or low) in profile analyses. This issue is particularly relevant to performance appraisals where it is often useful to identify specific strengths and weaknesses over and above a person global performance, but also to person-centered analyses more generally where the observation of qualitative (shape) differences between profiles is often used as justification for the added value of profiles. Substantively, this study illustrates these issues in the identification of profiles of teachers based on multidimensional students’ ratings of their effectiveness, using an archival data set of 31,951 class-average ratings based on the Students’ Evaluations of Educational Quality (SEEQ) instrument collected over a 13-year period. The results show the superiority of a factor mixture operationalization of teaching effectiveness in which a global effectiveness factor was used to control for unnecessary level effects in the profiles.     

从云游看白玉蟾的文化人格塑造

南宋金丹派南宗第五代祖师白玉蟾终生云游。避世隐逸,志在林泉,得道成仙的理想和寻师访道、交友论道、授徒传道的人生目标构成他云游的主要动机。他由此踏上了求道和文化传播的云游之旅,其足迹几乎遍及南宋辖区。云游促使他形成了恬淡诡异的隐仙人格,身通三教、学贯九流的思想人格和为文制艺无所不能的艺术人格。     

从《维纳斯与阿都尼》看莎士比亚的文化思考

对莎士比亚的研究多集中在戏剧,他的长诗《维纳斯与阿都尼》受关注相对较少。通过对《维纳斯与阿都尼》的文本细读,并联系英国文艺复兴时期的文化背景,我们可以看出:长诗中体现的莎士比亚独特的文化思考,既有对当时人文主义中张扬个性的认可,也有对传统基督教文化中节制忍耐的继承;作品中人物形象体现了他对希腊文化和基督教文化的批判继承,剔除了教会禁欲主义的极端成分之后,显示出了独特的人文主义的温情。     

Work in Progress: The PCC Task Group on Metadata Application Profiles

Abstract

The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) Task Group on Metadata Application Profiles was convened in May 2019 to help the PCC understand issues and practices associated with the management of metadata application profiles. Their work, discussed here, will guide future decisions and implementations of metadata application profiles in cataloging.     

本我、自我、超我的丁玲小说

按照弗洛伊德的人格发展学说和伍尔夫"雌雄同体"理论,丁玲的创作可分为本我、自我和超我三个时期.丁玲的性格随着时代的发展和自身遭遇而凸凹不平,这种双性人格特征影响了她的生活和写作,在她的小说文本上打上深深的烙印.丁玲不断地用理性压抑本我意识,克制自己的女性意识,用理智来从事写作,压制本我,表现自我,走向超我,最终创作出一部描写解放区土地改革最高成就的现实主义作品.

人面桃花何处去——解读新时期文学作品中的“人面桃花”恋情模式

文章梳理了新时期文学中“人面桃花”模式的爱情作品,剖析其质素构成、发展脉络、内蕴本质及走向。这一类型的作品处于文学进行世俗观照与终极关怀的联结点,言说了千百年来灵与肉之间的游离。“人面桃花”恋情模式是生命剥离了世俗假面和规则桎梏后的本性呈现,呈现出对人本性的认同性寻求。但伦理的困境与约定俗成的压力却使得原初的爱情阐述搁浅于失语的海域,且由于作家无法解决这个模式伊始的不合规定性,在世俗理性与人文关怀之间徘徊不已,这一切都使得“人面桃花”恋情模式最终走向了游戏的迷途。     

英语教学中的情感穿透

情感是人对于客观现实的态度体验,影响着学生的智力发展和认知过程。英语教学不仅是教授一门语言听、说、读、写、译的技能而且同时还是对说英语国家文化的一种传递。因此英语学习除了感觉和知觉、记忆、想象和思维等认知过程外,还包括动机、兴趣、情感、意志、性格等情感因素。在教学中实施情感教学应转变教师观念,建立和谐平等的师生关系,培养和激发学生语言学习的动机,要创设情景,组织教学,恰当运用体态语言,用教师的人格魅力感染学生。     

Comparison of motivational latent profiles using the PALS and AGQ-R

Given inconsistencies in the extant literature, achievement goal theory and research remain at an important crossroads, with ongoing questions about the conceptualization of achievement goals, measurement of achievement goals, and inferences made regarding achievement goal related findings. Using latent profile analysis, we explored how achievement goals vary across measures (PALS; Midgley et al., 2000 and AGQ-R; Elliot & Murayama, 2008) and domain (math vs. language arts) across a sample of primarily African American middle and high school students in the South. Main findings showed that the PALS and AGQ-R distinguish different profile goal-patterns, and that this is true across both the math and language arts domains. Not surprisingly, generally, students adopting more adaptive goal profiles (e.g., mastery or multiple) reported higher endorsement of cognitive engagement and social and academic future selves. Current findings support previous research observing disparate AGQ-R and PALS outcomes, adding evidence with domain-specific latent profiles. Given differences in profile patterns, findings suggest the instruments may be differentially tapping into goal perceptions.
