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。     

Creating a departmental culture for communication grants

Extramural funding to support communication research influences and is influenced by the culture of our discipline, universities, and departments. Both the National Communication Association and the International Communication Association have established closer ties to funding agencies and encouraged members' grant writing pursuits through mentorship and convention programs, newsletter columns, and publicity. Universities vary in how much support they have available as infrastructure to assist in the submission and administration of grants. Some institutions facilitate extramural funding endeavors through mentoring programs, university-wide research centers, sharing of indirect costs, and space. Department cultures, too, vary in the resources available to support grants. Departments in many ways have the most direct effects on grant-supporting cultures. In addition to activities indicated for the discipline and university, departments can build a grant culture by recognizing grant writing in their personnel practices, creating systems for rewarding and supporting grant activities, and having policies in place for the many related issues (e.g., release time, indirect cost sharing, research assistants). Finally, the interpersonal culture, whether colleagues recognize and support grants, plays a major role in individual pursuit of, and satisfaction with, seeking extramural funding to support communication research.     

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。     

"The policy exists but you can't really use it": communication and the structuration of work-family policies

Although work-family benefits are increasingly important organizational policies, limited research addresses the impact of communication on benefit utilization. However, communication is significant because the perceived appropriateness of work-family benefits emerges through interaction. For example, when coworkers complain about "picking up the slack" for those using family leave, their discourse may impact future decisions of other workers regarding whether they utilize the work-family benefits available to them. We apply Giddens' (1984) Structuration Theory to examine organizational members' discursive responses to conditions (and contradictions) present in utilizing work-family benefits in a governmental organization. We argue the daily discursive practices of individuals can either reinforce or undermine formally stated work-family initiatives, and in turn discuss the implications of this "structuration" of policy.     

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.
