Sexual Harassment as [Dys]Functional Process: A Feminist Standpoint Analysis

Researchers have approached the study of sexual harassment as though it were dysfunctional. However, a feminist standpoint theory analysis would suggest that it functions differently for men and women. A study using discussion groups and stimulated recall interviews was conducted in a large health care organization. A thematic analysis revealed a primary theme of sexual harassment as a [dys]functional process. For the male participants, sexual behavior served as a coping mechanism for stress, as a form of therapeutic care, and to create and demonstrate camaraderie. For the women participants, sexual behavior tended to be either nonfunctional or dysfunctional. They did not associate it with stress reduction, therapeutic touch, and viewed group camaraderie as a means of prevention. Implications are discussed.     

Chaos theory, informational needs, and natural disasters

This study applies chaos theory to a system-wide analysis of crisis communication in a natural disaster. Specifically, we analyze crisis communication during the 1997 Red River Valley flood in Minnesota and North Dakota. This flood, among the worst in modern American history, consumed entire metropolitan areas, displacing thousands of people. The conditions and decisions leading to the disaster, and the subsequent reactions are retraced. Communication related to river crest predictions (fractals), the shock at the magnitude of the crisis (cosmology episode), novel forms of reorganizing (self-organization), and agencies that aided in establishing a renewed order (strange attractors) are evaluated. Ultimately, we argue that preexisting sensemaking structures favoring rationalized, traditional views of a complex system led officials to make inappropriately unequivocal predictions and ultimately diminished the effectiveness of the region's crisis communication and planning.     

双因素理论在图书馆人力资源管理中的应用

双因素理论是现代人力资源管理理论中的重要成果，这一理论如要借鉴到我国目前的图书馆管理中，必须考虑图书馆现有的管理机制及文化环境的影响，并需要对其中的个别因素作相应的调整，才能发挥其应有的激励作用。     

对我国运动员进行心理表象训练新程序的理论探讨

表象训练是体育运动实践中运用最广泛的训练方法之一。我国在此领域远远落后于日本，其主要因素包括表象训练的方法、个体差异和情境因素：日本新近开发的心理表象训练程序(简称MITP)，几经实践运用，不仅训练效果良好而且在运动训练和比赛心理的理论方面产生了积极的影响，检验了有关表象训练的理论问题，认为动觉表象、视觉表象和想象表象有机结合是提高心理训练效果的良好途径；对MITP作一些理论探讨，目的在于为我国体育运动心理学理论建设提供一点参考。     

对九运会女排决赛阶段三种进攻打法效果比较分析

通过对九运会女子排球决赛第二阶段12支队伍扣球进攻技术的数据统计，运用对比分析法对强攻、快攻和后排攻等三种进攻打法进行研究。结果表明：我国目前优秀女排队伍进攻方式以强攻为主体；快攻虽然使用率远不如强攻，但进攻效果显：后排攻使用率和效果都甚差。     

体育教学中归因理论的应用

归因是指个体对他人或自己的行为结果与原因之间逻辑关系的认知过程，对行为结果的归因影响着人的情绪、动机以及对活动的坚持性。体育教学是“教”与“学”的双边活动，学生与教师都是影响学生归因方式的因素，学生对其学习结果所作的归因影响着他们学习的情绪及成就动机。体育教师如果能引导学生对体育学习的结果进行正确的归因，有助于激发学生学习的动机或兴趣，从而增强他们练习的积极性，提高教学效果。     

太极拳教学新探索

太极，无极而生，阴阳之母也。太极是体，阴阳是体中之气。拳，权也，所以权物而知其轻重也。太极拳教学中，要树立健康观，根据大学生的生理、心理和社会适应能力，依据技能动作的掌握特点和形成过程，运用电化直观教学、表象训练，多种启发等教学方法，激发、引导学生学好太极拳。

The Assimilation of In-Laws: The Impact of Newcomers on the Communication Routines of Families

Although our popular culture stereotypes relationships with in-laws as problematic, these relationships have largely been overlooked by communication researchers. In contrast to existing studies focusing on dyadic relationships, this study looked at how in-laws are assimilated into the family group as newcomers, using structuration theory to examine how routines are reproduced in families. In personal interviews, participants described how their families had assimilated newcomers or how they themselves were received into their spouse's families. A thematic analysis revealed specific communication routines that had to be adjusted upon entry of newcomers, including conversational topics, expected amount of interaction, use of joking, and conversational styles. Adjustments to these routines, although difficult to negotiate because they were not openly discussed, helped to transform the family of childhood into the family of adulthood. Structuration theory would suggest that the perceived stress in relationships with in-laws occurs because newcomers upset the comfort of families by disrupting their communication routines.
