Bad boys,good girls? Implicit and explicit attitudes toward ethnic minority students among elementary and secondary school teachers     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2017

Teachers’ attitudes toward ethnic minority students might differ by students’ gender and the type of school teachers are working in because of different motivations for teaching and different school practices. Hence, the aim of the current research was to investigate elementary (n = 82) and secondary school (n = 82) teachers’ implicit and explicit attitudes toward male and female ethnic minority students. Teachers worked on either a male or a female Implicit Association Test and filled out a gender-specific questionnaire for measuring explicit attitudes. The results showed that elementary and secondary school teachers had negative implicit attitudes toward ethnic minority students, independent of students’ gender. Whereas secondary school teachers were implicitly more positive toward boys, elementary school teachers were implicitly more positive toward girls. Elementary school teachers were more enthusiastic about teaching ethnic minority boys than girls. The findings provide the first insights into differences in attitudes between elementary and secondary school teachers.  相似文献   

Understanding how social worker compassion fatigue and years of experience shape custodial decisions     

《Child abuse & neglect》2019

BackgroundCompassion fatigue (i.e., a worker’s diminished ability to empathize with clients) is common among “helping workers” and can result in psychological detachment from clients as a coping mechanism.ObjectiveIn the present research, we explored the relationship between social workers’ compassion fatigue and years of job experience on hypothetical child custody case judgments.Participants and settingIn two separate studies, individuals with experience working with children in child dependency court (predominantly social workers, Study 1: N = 173, Study 2: N = 119) were recruited on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and read a vignette depicting a mother attempting to regain custody.ResultsSupporting hypotheses, compassion fatigue significantly mediated the relationship between increased years of social worker job experience on recommendations that a neglectful mother receive custody, Indirect Effect = .06, CIs [.026, .127] (Study 1). We also found preliminary support for our hypothesized theoretically derived serial path model, in which (a) social worker compassion fatigue predicts anticipated secondary traumatic stress associated with the child neglect case, B = .54, p = .0001; (b) secondary traumatic stress predicts detachment from the neglected child, B = .27, p = .0003; (c) detachment from the child predicts job efficacy cynicism B = .65, p < .0001; and (d) job efficacy cynicism predicts decisions to allocate custody to the neglectful mother, B = .46, p = .005 (Study 2).ConclusionOur research shows that compassion fatigue among social workers may change the lens through which they perceive cases of child abuse.  相似文献   

U型流道中的MHD流动、传热及插件结构的力学性能     

梁思苑  倪明玖  张年梅 《中国科学院大学学报》2019,36(5):605-613

结合有限体积法和有限元法研究U型流道中磁流体的流动特性、传热性能和流道插件的力学性能，发现外加磁场强度、金属流体进口速度以及流道插件导电性能对流道内速度场、温度场及流道插件应力、应变场的影响规律。计算结果表明：当外加磁场增强，出口段流场的温度也相应升高；较高的进口速度可以提高出口段流体的温度；提高流道插件导电性能，速度场将呈现“M”型分布，但出口段温度场变化极小。流道插件危险区域位于过渡段侧壁附近，该处应力随磁场增强而增大，随进口速度升高而降低，随流道插件电导率增大略有提升，但都小于插件材料的许用应力。本工作可为ITER包层的设计提供有价值的参考。  相似文献   

Becoming Fathers: Initial Exploration of a Support Program for New Fathers     

Stephanie R. Rayburn  J. Douglas Coatsworth 《The Journal of perinatal education》2021,30(2):78

Emerging fathers experience a variety of stressors, including identity and role transitions, changes in their relationships, and challenges in developing caregiving skills. Increasing expectations for father involvement in childcare are emphasizing the importance of the father role, but social supports for new fathers remain scarce. Nineteen expectant and new fathers participated in a pilot 5-week group intervention aimed at improving stress coping and involvement attitudes using a combination of mindfulness practices and skill-building for parenting and partner communication. We administered surveys pre- and postintervention to assess efficacy in the areas of stress, depressive symptoms, father involvement attitudes, and mindfulness. Within-participant differences were compared across participants as well as examining individual reliable change. Results indicated initial reductions in stress and depressive symptoms and increases in the mindfulness constructs of nonjudgment and nonreactivity. No significant changes were found in father involvement attitudes. Perinatal intervention specific to fathers holds promise as an underexplored avenue for supporting families across the transition to parenthood.  相似文献   

The majority influence on interminority attitudes: The secondary transfer effect of positive and negative contact     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2016

Among minority members, positive contact with the majority was previously found to improve not only the attitudes toward the majority but also the attitudes toward minority outgroups (the secondary transfer effect; STE). However, the roles of negative intergroup contact and minority groups’ social status in the STE have not been yet examined. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the association between both positive and negative contact with the national majority group (Finns) and mutual attitudes among high-status Estonian (n = 171) and low-status Russian (n = 180) immigrants in Finland. Two mediators of the STE were tested: attitudes toward the majority (attitude generalization) and public collective self-esteem (diagonal hostility). While positive and negative STEs emerging via attitude generalization were expected to occur among both immigrant groups, the mediating effect of public collective self-esteem was assumed only for members of the low-status group. In both immigrant groups, the relationship between positive contact with the majority group and attitudes toward the other immigrant group was positive and indirect through more favorable attitudes toward majority group members. The same mechanism characterized negative contact, where the indirect effect was mediated by less positive attitudes toward Finns. As predicted, public collective self-esteem mediated the effects of positive and negative contact with majority group members on attitudes toward the other minority only among low-status Russian immigrants. The results call for the acknowledgement of different mechanisms explaining the STE among minority groups enjoying different social statuses in host society.  相似文献

戈含笑  魏宏文  张有志  高颀  薛瑞  陈红霞 《北京体育大学学报》2017,40(5):39-45

摘要：目的：以神经元和神经胶质细胞相关神经生物学变化为切入点，探讨有氧运动对慢性应激大鼠脑海马区神经可塑性的影响。方法：以SD大鼠为研究对象，按照体重均衡分为对照组（CON）、慢性应激模型组（MOD）、氟西汀组（FLU）、低强度运动组（LIR）和中等强度运动组（MIR）。给予大鼠4周慢性应激，并分别伴随氟西汀给药、低强度或者中等强度的运动干预。4周后，通过开场实验、蔗糖饮水实验、新奇抑制摄食实验以及新物体识别实验检测运动对慢性应激大鼠抑郁样行为、焦虑样行为以及认知障碍的影响；同时，利用酶联免疫法和蛋白免疫印迹法，检测运动对慢性应激大鼠血清皮质酮、海马内前炎因子IL1-β，以及蛋白GFAP、S100β、BDNF、p-ERK、p-CREB表达的影响，探讨运动抗抑郁的行为学效应和作用机制。结果：1）低强度和中等强度运动能够显著增加慢性应激大鼠的开场活动、缩短新奇抑制摄食潜伏期，同时提高慢性应激大鼠新物体的识别指数；2）运动有效逆转了慢性应激大鼠血清皮质酮的异常升高，同时降低海马内前炎性因子IL1-β的分泌；3）运动可显著星形胶质细胞的标志性功能蛋白GFAP和S100β的表达水平，增强慢性应激大鼠的BDNF/ERK/CREB信号转导通路中重要蛋白BDNF、p-ERK、p-CREB的表达。结论：运动可以通过提高慢性应激大鼠脑海马区神经可塑性来达到抗抑郁的目的。可能与以下因素有关：1）运动调节血清皮质酮的异常升高，降低海马内前炎性因子的释放，同时，提高与神经胶质细胞相关蛋白GFAP和S100β活性，从而起到神经元保护的作用；2）运动可以通过激活CREB，BDNF以及ERK等重要信号蛋白的表达，提高神经营养作用，促进神经元的生长，增加神经可塑性和神经发生来发挥抗抑郁作用。  相似文献   

Private secondary schools in Indonesia: What is driving the demand?     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2016

Despite recent evidence that students in public schools significantly outperform their private school counterparts, private schooling continues to account for approximately 40% of secondary school enrolments in Indonesia. In an effort to explain this sustained demand, we combine analyses of PISA data with in-country interviews and school visits. Ultimately, we find that although government dependent private schools are underfunded with a high proportion of uncertified, underpaid teachers (with limited access to training and professional development), demand remains high due to their focus on religious training and education, as well as their ability to increase educational access for low-income families.  相似文献

李镇村  石耀霖  张泽阳  董培育  杨少华 《中国科学院大学学报》2016,33(3):412-420

除本身造成的直接灾害外,火山喷发的基性熔岩流动过程中经常会形成熔岩管.由于地下空洞的存在,熔岩管附近区域的地表稳定性会降低,容易发生坍塌,造成次生灾害。月球和火星上发现的熔岩管是未来外星探测基地的最佳选择,对于熔岩管稳定性研究也具有潜在价值。本文运用有限元方法,基于熔岩管形成机制,建立熔岩管形成后温度演化过程和相应的位移和热应力状况.通过分析熔岩管附近主应力的演化过程,考察不同物理参数(熔岩管的大小、深度、形状)对于熔岩管稳定性的影响。  相似文献   

流道插件在高温和磁流体作用下的力学行为     

刘健健  李明健  陈龙  倪明玖  张年梅 《中国科学院大学学报》2016,33(4):462-467

在国际热核聚变试验堆计划中，流道插件是包层模块中的一个重要部件，它的主要作用是隔热和电绝缘，它的力学行为受到高温、磁场、流体压力的共同作用，使得其响应分析成为一个多场耦合的问题。本文采用有限体积法和有限元法，对包层中流体传热性能和流道插件的结构安全性能进行计算，其中详细分析一种典型工况下流道插件的应力状态；同时，对具有不同热导率的流道插件进行计算，得出其对包层结构的影响。计算结果说明流道插件厚度方向以及面内方向的压应力均比较安全，而较危险的则为极向面内拉应力和棱边的剪切破坏。采用具有较低热导率的流道插件时，可以使出口金属流体的平均温度提高，从而提高热效率，同时降低第一壁的最高温度，从而保证其结构安全，但流道插件内部的温度梯度会增加，结构热应力也更高。  相似文献   

心理冲突与应激水平、主观幸福感关系研究     

章明明  张积家 《华中师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2005,44(4):116-119

采用自编的心理冲突调查问卷、Cawte量表和主观幸福感指数量表(WBIS),调查531名大学生的心理冲突状况、应激水平及主观幸福感。结果为:(1)过多的心理冲突可引起生理与心理应激水平的升高;(2)心理冲突频率与应激水平呈显著的正相关(r=0.533,P<0.01);(3)心理冲突频率与主观幸福感呈显著的负相关(r=-0.158,P<0.01)。因此,过多的心理冲突已构成应激源,是影响学生身心健康的重要因素之一。大学生心理冲突问题应予以关注。  相似文献
