Narrative inquiry: ongoing conversations and questions for sport and exercise psychology research

Narrative inquiry, as one form of qualitative research, has recently attracted some interest within the field of sport and exercise psychology. Seeking to be theoretically imaginative and instigate dialogue, this article focuses attention on five main issues within ongoing conversations among sport and exercise psychology researchers who promote and/or engage in narrative research. Theoretically inspired and grounded, these interrelated issues include, motivations for why researchers have turned to narrative, the concept of ‘the self’, interviewing, the issue of ‘truth’, and representation. Some implications of these issues for sport and exercise psychology are also highlighted. The article closes with some reflections about the future directions that narrative inquiry might take.     

Reduced psychiatric symptoms at 6 and 12 months’ follow-up of psychotherapeutic and psychoeducative group interventions for children exposed to intimate partner violence

BackgroundLong-term follow-up studies of interventions for children exposed to intimate partner violence are few, and the sustainability of their outcomes often remains unexplored and uncertain. Current research including follow-up assessment suggests that treatment gains may be maintained or continue post termination. In addition some children may show increased levels of symptoms.ObjectiveThe present effectiveness study investigated the long-term outcomes of two established group interventions for children exposed to intimate partner violence and their non-offending parent.Participants and SettingThe study included 50 children, 24 girls and 26 boys, aged 4 to 13 years attending a psychotherapeutic child and adolescent mental health service intervention and a psychoeducative community-based intervention.MethodsBackground information, child and parental mental health problems, trauma symptoms, and exposure to violence were assessed pre- and post treatment and at 6 and 12 months’ follow-up.ResultsSustained treatment gains and late improvements in children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms and in symptoms of traumatic stress were recorded from post treatment to the follow-up assessments (p = .004– .044; d = 0.29–0.67). No significant increase in symptoms was reported. Additionally, very little continued or renewed child exposure to violence was reported.ConclusionsThe results of the study indicate that the children did benefit from the two interventions studied and that the outcomes of reduced child symptoms and protection from exposure to violence were sustainable. Children with severe trauma symptoms benefited the most, though maternal psychological problems may for some have hindered recovery. Clinical implications are discussed.     

The Four-Part Literature Review Process: Breaking It Down for Students

Both undergraduate and graduate students face similar challenges when tasked with writing literature reviews. Breaking down the literature review into a four-part process helps students decrease frustration and increase quality. This article provides usable advice for anyone teaching or writing literature reviews. Tips and illustrations illuminate each part of the process, including 1) Developing a Topic; 2) Searching the Literature; 3) Narrowing the Scope; and 4) Synthesizing Prior Research. First, practical tips for topic development include welcoming change and exercises for allowing students to “talk out” topic evolution in physical or virtual settings. Next, tips for searching include defining quality research in the discipline, linking to online tools, refining language, and working with that first good article. Then, practical tips for narrowing include advice for deconstructing articles and questions to ask when “talking out” refinement of the project. Finally, practical tips for synthesizing include virtual tagging and physical clustering exercises.     

危机事件中网络信息表征对用户持续分享意愿影响研究

[目的/意义]为了探索危机事件中网络信息表征对用户持续分享意愿的影响机制，通过对网络中不同表征的信息进行分类和定级，对危机信息进行差异化监控与治理，并从信息表征的视角强化正面信息的用户持续分享意愿。[方法/过程]以信息表征为自变量、持续分享意愿为因变量及体验保留度与感知渗透性为中介变量构建研究理论模型。通过问卷调查法对相关数据进行采集，采用结构方程模型方法，并借助AMOS22.0统计软件对数据进行处理和分析。[结果/结论]其研究结论为：①危机事件中网络信息的动作性表征、映像性表征及符号性表征分别通过体验保留度及感知渗透性的中介作用，对用户的信息持续分享意愿产生显著正向影响；②动作性表征信息对用户持续分享意愿的影响效应最大，其次为映像性表征信息，最小为符号性表征信息；③信息表征对用户持续分享意愿的影响效应，在人口统计学上存在显著性差异。     

“少年贵州会”与新文化运动

1918年在贵州成立的“少年贵州会”,是对新文化运动的回应,在高举“科学”、“民主”的旗帜下,倡导“少年精神”,大声疾呼“警醒夜郎”,开启一代新风。此后,话剧运动在贵州兴起,延续至抗战时期进入高潮,在全国占有重要一席。与此同时,贵州涌现了一批新文学作家,活跃在文坛上,在国内有一定影响。从新文化的角度看,“少年贵州会”反映了贵州近代思想、文化的变迁。

MEDLINE数据库中生物体类主题词相关语义关系的构建与评价

本研究对MEDLINE中生物体类文献中高频主要主题词进行共词聚类分析,获取主题词之间的关联规则,利用UMLS语义关系进行结构化表达.从MEDLINE中选取<中华医学杂志>上的生物体类文献作为测试集,由专家人工抽取关系,与共词聚类得到的关联规则进行比较.利用共词聚类分析对生物体类主题词关系的挖掘及评价分析,为文本知识发现提供了一种新的尝试.     

基于句子的文本表示及中文文本分类研究

文本挖掘技术是信息资源管理的一项关键技术.向量空间模型是文本挖掘中成熟的文本表示模型,通常以词语或短语作为特征项,但这些特征项只能提供较少的语义信息.为实现基于内容的文本挖掘,本文将文本切分粒度从词语或短语提高到句子,用句子包表示文本,使用句子相似度定义文本相似度,用KNN算法进行中文文本分类,验证模型的可行性.实验证明,基于句子包的KNN算法的平均精度(92.12%)和召回率(92.01%)是比较理想的.
