Research on Asian Americans and their psychological adjustment is limited. Consisting of two cross-sectional studies, the present investigation examined the relationships among self-concealment, mindfulness, emotional distress in stressful interpersonal situations, and general psychological ill-health in Asian American college students, and in comparison with European American counterparts. In the Asian Americans, self-concealment was found to be positively related to general psychological ill-health and negatively related to mindfulness. In both ethnic groups, mindfulness was found to be negatively related to general psychological ill-health. Findings suggest that, as seen with European American counterparts, both self-concealment and mindfulness may be important concepts in understanding the psychological adjustments of Asian American college students.  相似文献   

Contemporary trends in East Asian higher education: dispositions of international students in a Taiwan university   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Amy Roberts  Prudence Chou  Greg Ching 《Higher Education》2010,59(2):149-166

This article details a mixed methods study conducted during the 2007–2008 academic year at the National Chengchi University (NCCU) in Taipei Taiwan. It contributes to discourse examining the opportunities and challenges of international student enrollments in institutions of higher learning around the globe. In scope it details an empirical study exploring the dispositions of NCCU international students in terms of their academic and social spheres. Trends in Taiwan reflect traditional East Asian patterns; substantial numbers of university students from Taiwan studied in the United States and Britain while very few incoming international students chose the island nation as a host destination. In recent years the influx of international students to Taiwan has increased significantly, rising from 6,380 in 2001 to 21,005 in 2007 (Ko, , 2008). The use of both quantitative and qualitative methods provided clarity and extended critical interpretations of the issues and dilemmas surrounding the international student experience in Taiwan. Results indicate that the capability of the NCCU as a host institution to sustain and attract increasing numbers of incoming international students is linked to factors such as the unique opportunity to study traditional as opposed to simplified Chinese characters, the availability and accessibility of Taiwan government sponsored scholarships, and the high standard of the NCCU Mandarin Studies program. Implications suggest that universities committed to internationalization are called to address the realities—both positive and negative—of operating as globally competitive institutions. As such, attracting the right kind of international students at the NCCU and determining standards for their contribution to campus life are more important goals than the total number of international students.  相似文献   

Understanding the roles of business ecosystems in large public IT infrastructure project development: The case of M-Taipei     

Tzu-Chuan Chou  Mei-Yun Huang 《International Journal of Information Management》2012

This case study examines how public–private business ecosystems play a critical role in pubic IT infrastructure project development. In studying the world's foremost wireless “cyber city,” the M-Taipei project, we argue that the symbiotic nature of relationships in business ecosystems is of critical importance in conducting the public IT project. Based on the case data, we differentiate three forms of business ecosystems – knowledge-oriented, resource-oriented, and business-oriented which emerged in the different phases of project development. We hope to provide a foundation for future discussions on this increasingly important view of research and practice.  相似文献   

Floating-electrode enhanced constriction dielectrophoresis for biomolecular trapping in physiological media of high conductivity     

Chaurey V  Polanco C  Chou CF  Swami NS 《Biomicrofluidics》2012,6(1):12806-1280614

We present an electrokinetic framework for designing insulator constriction-based dielectrophoresis devices with enhanced ability to trap nanoscale biomolecules in physiological media of high conductivity, through coupling short-range dielectrophoresis forces with long-range electrothermal flow. While a 500-fold constriction enables field focusing sufficient to trap nanoscale biomolecules by dielectrophoresis, the extent of this high-field region is enhanced through coupling the constriction to an electrically floating sensor electrode at the constriction floor. However, the enhanced localized fields due to the constriction and enhanced current within saline media of high conductivity (1 S/m) cause a rise in temperature due to Joule heating, resulting in a hotspot region midway within the channel depth at the constriction center, with temperatures of ∼8°–10°K above the ambient. While the resulting vortices from electrothermal flow are directed away from the hotspot region to oppose dielectrophoretic trapping, they also cause a downward and inward flow towards the electrode edges at the constriction floor. This assists biomolecular trapping at the sensor electrode through enabling long-range fluid sampling as well as through localized stirring by fluid circulation in its vicinity.  相似文献

MSA在24表位TD3500型终端检定装置误差检验中的应用     

魏伟  苏津磷  李帆  仇娟  曾其勇  张慧磊 《科技通报》2021,37(4):66-71

随着我国智能电网由全面建设阶段到引领提升阶段的逐步推进,电能计量的准确性越来越重要,这就要求智能电表误差指标越来越严格.电表出厂前都必须在检定装置上对其进行误差检验,因此误差检验系统能否满足要求非常重要.本文以24表位TD3500型电表误差测量系统为研究对象,设计了该测量系统的分析方案,制定了该测量系统的分析计划,首先分析了该测量系统的稳定性、偏倚和线性,在这3个指标满足要求之后,再分析该测量系统的重复性和再现性,其％GR&R指标为9.77％＜10％,且可区分的类别数等于18＞5,表明该测量系统可以接受.  相似文献

The Effect of Integrating Aesthetic Understanding in Reflective Inquiry Activities     

Huann‐shyang Lin  Zuway‐R. Hong  Chung‐Chih Chen  Chien‐Ho Chou 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(9):1199-1217

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of integrating aesthetic understanding in reflective inquiry activities. Three typical classes of Taiwanese eighth graders (n = 106) and nine additional low‐achieving students in the same school participated in the study. The treatment for experimental students emphasized scaffolding aesthetic understanding and reflections on inquiry strategies. It was found that the experimental group students consistently outperformed their counterparts on the post‐test and the delayed post‐test in conceptual understanding and application of science knowledge. In addition, the low‐achieving students were motivated by the treatment and made significant progress on the two tests. The results of interview and classroom observation also revealed that the intervention made a difference in students’ affective perceptions.  相似文献
