Chronic neglect and aggression/delinquency: A longitudinal examination

Neglect is the most common form of maltreatment in the United States, yet its impact on development remains understudied, especially for chronic neglect. Chronic neglect is also one of the most costly burdens on child welfare systems. This study examines the effects of chronic neglect, including two subtypes (Failure to Provide and Lack of Supervision) on adolescent aggression and delinquency using a diverse longitudinal sample of youth. Chronic neglect and chronic failure to provide (ages 0–12) predicted aggression/delinquency (age 14) even after controlling for the effects of other maltreatment (ages 0–12). Chronic lack of supervision, however, did not. Gender significantly moderated these effects, suggesting that males are more likely to respond to neglect by becoming aggressive/delinquent. Finally, social problems (age 12) partially mediated for boys, and fully mediated for girls, the connections between chronic neglect and aggression/delinquency, bolstering theorizing that neglect impairs social functioning broadly. Implications include the need for further research on chronic neglect, especially in providing guidance for child welfare systems. Interventions for chronically neglected youth should include social skill development.     

Harsh parenting and peer acceptance in Chinese early adolescents: Three child aggression subtypes as mediators and child gender as moderator

This study examined the mediating roles of three types of child aggression in the relation between harsh parenting and Chinese early adolescents’ peer acceptance as well as the moderating role of child gender on this indirect relation. 833 children (mean age = 13.58, 352 girls) with their parents were recruited as participants from two junior high schools in Shandong Province, People’s Republic of China. The results showed that paternal harsh parenting was only associated with boys’ aggressive behaviors and maternal harsh parenting was only associated with boys’ and girls’ verbal aggression. Adolescents’ verbal and relational aggressions were negatively associated with their peer acceptance. Verbal aggression was more strongly and negatively associated with girls’ peer acceptance. The results imply that in the Chinese cultural context, paternal harsh parenting may compromise boys’ peer acceptance through boys’ verbal and relational aggression as mediators, whereas maternal harsh parenting may impair children’s peer acceptance through children’s verbal aggression as a mediator, especially for girls. These results provide a theoretical basis for ameliorating the negative effect of harsh parenting on early adolescents’ peer acceptance by reducing their aggressive behaviors, with different strategies between boys and girls.     

Evaluation of the sustainability and clinical outcome of Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT) in a child protection center

This paper examines the sustainability and outcome of Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT) as delivered by practitioners in a community-based child protection program who had received training in the model several years earlier. Formerly described as Abuse-Focused CBT, AF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment (EBT) for child physical abuse and family aggression/conflict that was included in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network's initial EBT dissemination efforts in 2002. Seven practitioners participated in a year-long learning collaborative in AF-CBT and in similar training programs for 4 other EBTs. The agency's routine data collection system was used to document the clinical and adjustment outcomes of 52 families presenting with a physically abused child who received their services between 2 and 5 years after the AF-CBT training had ended. Measures of the use of all 5 EBTs documented their frequency, internal consistency, and intercorrelations. Controlling for the unique content of the other four EBTs, the amount of AF-CBT Abuse-specific content delivered was related to improvements on standardized parent rating scales (i.e., child externalizing behavior, anger, anxiety, social competence) and both parent and clinician ratings of the child's adjustment at discharge (i.e., child more safe, less scared/sad, more appropriate with peers). The amount of AF-CBT General content was related to a few discharge ratings (better child prognosis, helpfulness to parents). These novel data provide suggestive evidence for the sustainability and clinical benefits of AF-CBT in an existing community clinic serving physically abused children and their families, and are discussed in the context of key developments in the treatment model and dissemination literature.

《老友记》中幽默言语翻译的推理与整合

幽默言语翻译是一种跨语际的阐释性运用,如果其效度越高则制笑效果就越好。关联导向下的语用推理只是理解言语的总体原则,没有演示概念映射与整合的具体过程。从情景喜剧《老友记》中幽默言语的翻泽分析人手,探索幽默言语制笑效果的具体产生过程。结果发现幽默是语境假设在概念整合过程中,经历组合、完善和更新后形成新显结构时,与新信息相互加强、矛盾或结合产生的。所以推理和整合结合起来对幽默言语的翻译具有更强的解释力。     

修辞学视阈下讯问高校内部盗窃案嫌疑大学生的言语策略

高校内部盗窃案屡有发生,大学生盗窃具有较高的智能性和反侦查性,给侦破设置了重重障碍。对嫌疑大学生进行的讯问是一个完整的言语交际过程,与公安司法机关对犯罪嫌疑人进行的讯问有显著不同。讯问人可以巧用适宜的言语策略对嫌疑人进行审讯,以"挽救和教育"为宗旨,对嫌疑人倾注同情心,以柔克刚,进行道德感化和正义感召,能从根本上唤醒作案人的道德良知而对作案事实供认不讳。     

交际教学法在英语口语教学中的应用

交际教学法是以语言的功能项目为纲,着力培养学习者语言交际能力的一种外语教学方法体系。目前,交际教学法把交际能力的培养作为外语教学的主要目标,针对只具有较低专业水平的学习者,对语言结构的准确程度不做严格要求,强调语言的理解能力,表达能力和相互沟通思想的能力。

论世界现代史教材民族解放运动的体系

〕２０世纪上半叶的民族解放运动是一个不断高涨的整体化过程,并最终溶入二战这一伟大的反法西斯正义战争。两次大战之间的民族解放运动既包括摆脱老殖民主义统治的斗争,也包括反法西斯侵略的斗争。我国高校教材未能将后者纳入民族解放运动的有关章节。这一问题的解决有助于完善教材的体系,提高反法西斯侵略性质的民族解放运动在世界历史上的地位
