Argumentative and Aggressive Communication in Bulgaria: Testing for Conceptual and Methodological Equivalence

This study sought to investigate argumentative and aggressive communication and to test for conceptual/methodological equivalence in the Bulgarian culture. One hundred and twenty six Bulgarian residents completed short forms concerning argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed support for conceptual and methodological equivalence of both constructs. However, gender differences that have historically been observed in other cultures were not observed in Bulgaria. The findings support the growing body of research indicating that argumentativeness and verbal aggressiveness are etic in nature.     

The Story of Two Big Chimneys: A Frame Analysis of Climate Change in US and Chinese Newspapers

Despite mounting research on how the news media portrayed climate change in developed countries, disproportionately little attention was paid to one of the top greenhouse gas emitters in the world—China. This study systematically examined and compared how the US and Chinese newspapers portrayed climate change. An analytical framework, grounded in framing research traditions, took into account both theoretical and practical challenges in frame analysis by creating a hybrid structure of interlocked generic and issue-specific frames. The results showed both convergent and divergent pictures from the two countries’ newspapers shaped distinctly by the sociopolitical realities in both countries. The research also cautioned against making simplistic explanations of the results and offered culturally informed interpretations. A discussion on better research focus and design was offered for future research in this avenue.     

How Should I Respond to Them? An Emergent Categorization of Responses to Interpersonally Communicated Stereotypes

Political correctness defines stereotypes as inappropriate to communicate. However, responses that interpersonally communicated stereotypes receive in conversation may collaboratively produce a different meaning about the appropriateness of stereotype use. The current research reports two studies that explore responses to interpersonally communicated stereotypes and the role these responses play in the perpetuation of stereotypes. This project contributes qualitative research in intercultural communication that exposes a variety of tolerant response types available to communicators and demonstrates how these responses are managed interactionally in ways that show tolerance for communicated stereotypes.

普通高校田径选修课教学效果的分析研究

采用问卷调查法、访谈法、数理统计等研究方法对普通高校开设田径选修课的教学效果进行调查分析,结果表明：学生普遍忽视田径课的选修,造成这种困境的主要原因是：人们对田径的价值认识不足,田径课自身的特点,教学形式较单调、枯燥乏味,教学内容陈旧,教学模式单一,无趣味性,考核评价方法不合理等。本文通过对田径选修课教学效果的调查研究,就普通高校如何开设田径选项课提出相应的对策,以促进高校田径运动水平的发展。     

第17届世界杯与第18届世界杯足球赛射门进球的统计对比分析

对第17届世界杯足球赛和第18届世界杯足球赛128场比赛的308个进球进行统计分析,其结果显示:右脚是射门进球的主要部位;射门宜低射和直接射门;边路、中路传球配合是突破防线最有效的进攻手段;运球突破是制造射门和威胁传球的有效手段。定位球进攻的作用日益突出。
