Influence of Cultural Orientations on Electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM) in Social Media

This study explores how horizontal/vertical individualism and collectivism (HVIC) orientations influence electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) (i.e., opinion leadership and opinion seeking) in social media. Online survey panel data through Amazon MTurk were collected from American social media users to address the research purpose. The results, using the structural equation modeling, show that the paths from horizontal individualism to opinion leadership, vertical individualism to opinion leadership and opinion seeking, horizontal collectivism to opinion leadership, and vertical collectivism to opinion leadership and opinion seeking were significant. This study provides theoretical and managerial implications regarding the influence of HVIC orientations on eWOM in social media.

能源安全战略的实施顺序

能源是现代社会必不可少的投入,就如人体的血液一样,保障能源安全能够促进经济社会的发展.但能源安全战略实施需要投入的资金巨大,在我国现有的经济、财政条件下,不可能也没有必要同时实施所有战略,因此,必须按照一定的顺序,主次分明地对战略进行有序地实施.本文通过分析能源安全的经济作用,并运用社会福利准则分析能源安全的社会作用,说明能源安全对经济、社会等的作用是有限度的,相对于能源不安全对社会和国家造成危害的无法估量性,决定了国家的能源安全战略实施顺序的选择,不应该以传统的效益可得性为依据,而应该在充分考虑全球能源状况和国家经济及能源供需等具体条件下,按照能源的危机程度及先短期后长期等原则排列.最后,依据中国的具体情况,提出了中国能源安全战略的实施顺序.     

高校贫困生的社会支持网络：现状与对策

在解决高校贫困生问题的过程中，党和政府、学校、社会、贫困生的家庭等已经作出诸多努力，初步形成了高校贫困生的社会支持网络。社会支持网络在解决贫困生的经济和情感问题方面发挥着重要的作用，但还存在支持力度不足、忽视负功能、网络之间缺乏联系等问题。为了科学有效地解决贫困生的问题，充分发挥社会网络的支持作用。必须构建新的主体多元化、内容系统化、机构专门化、方法专业化的高校贫困的社会支持网络，在构建新网络的过程中，要坚持继承和发展的态度，采取维持、强化、放弃、改革、创新等科学的方法和手段。     

Kinship,Camaraderie and Contestation: Fāṭimid Relations with the Ashrāf in the Fourth/Tenth Century.

The founding of the Fā?imid caliphate across the southern Mediterranean, and then in Egypt, Syria and the ?ijāz at the turn of the fourth/tenth century, necessitated its negotiation with the ashrāf, those who claimed lineal descent from the Prophet Mu?ammad, and who by this time had gained significant influence as a social class based on their charismatic descent. While other dynastic powers fostered relationships with various members of the ashrāf, the Fā?imid–ashrāf dynamics were distinctive in that the Fā?imids legitimised their rule as Ismā?īlī Shī?ī imām-caliphs, based on their claim of descent from the Prophet Mu?ammad, and as the sole successors to his authority and leadership over the Islamic world. Consequently, Fā?imid–ashrāf relations were permeated by fraternal camaraderie as well as by competing contestations based on their shared claim to Prophetic lineage.     

Help that hurts? Perceptions of intergroup assistance

The current research, guided theoretically by the Intergroup Helping as Status Relations Model, explored how high and low status groups (Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs) perceive offers of help from the high to the low status group. Ninety-three Arab and Jewish participants were asked to imagine and evaluate offers of help from Jews to Arabs in Israel. Consistent with the hypothesis that members of high and low status groups would have different perspectives and goals in their relations, Israeli Arabs viewed help by Israeli Jews more as a way to reinforce existing hierarchy and as a way of asserting the higher groups’ domination. Recognizing the different orientations of members of high and low status groups to potentially conciliatory actions, such as helping behavior, can enhance understanding of the dynamics of intergroup relations and conflict and reveal factors that might fuel intergroup misunderstandings and tensions, which can represent a critical step to improving intergroup relations.

Threat and Prejudice against Syrian Refugees in Canada: Assessing the Moderating Effects of Multiculturalism,Interculturalism, and Assimilation

A survey experiment (N = 529) was used to test the moderating effects of intergroup ideologies (assimilation, multiculturalism, and interculturalism) on the relationship between social dominance orientation (SDO) and expressions of prejudice under conditions of intergroup threat. Moderated multiple regression analyses suggest a multicultural integration frame moderates the relationship between SDO and feelings toward Syrian refugees in Canada when the target outgroup is portrayed as a source of intergroup threat. This moderating effect was unique to the relationship between SDO and feelings toward Syrians and did not extend to other correlates of prejudice including beliefs in zero-sum group competition or a multicultural ideology, nor did it extend to more general measures of prejudice (i.e., attitudes toward immigrants or evaluations of intercultural contact). Findings suggest the prejudice-reducing effects of a multicultural integration narrative affect group evaluations and functions by targeting beliefs in social dominance, rather than zero-sum group competition or ideological support for cultural diversity. The results offer insights into the prejudice-reducing potential for two alternative integration narratives that are institutionalized in Canada.
