Acculturation orientations of competing host communities toward valued and devalued immigrants     

Annie Montreuil  Richard Y. Bourhis   《Int J Intercult Relat》2004,28(6):507-532

This study explored how members of competing host communities may endorse different acculturation orientations towards valued and devalued immigrants settled in the bilingual city of Montreal. Francophone (N=422) and Anglophone (N=401) host community students from low-, medium- and high-ethnic diversity colleges completed the host community acculturation scale (HCAS) along with a questionnaire monitoring a range of social psychological correlates of acculturation orientations. Results showed that Anglophones were more integrationist and individualist and less assimilationist than Francophones. Both Francophones and Anglophones were more integrationist and individualist and less assimilationist, segregationist and exclusionist toward valued than devalued immigrants. Attending a multiethnic college had no influence on respondents’ acculturation orientations. The more welcoming acculturation orientations of Anglophones compared to Francophones was corroborated by results obtained with immigrants attending the French and the English colleges. Social psychological profiles of the respective acculturation orientations were similar across both host communities thus supporting the construct validity of the HCAS. Attitude toward co-national outgroup was a significant determinant of each acculturation orientations, suggesting that intergroup relations between rival host communities has an impact on acculturation orientations toward immigrants.  相似文献   

Religiosity and the digital divide in Canada     

Maryam Dilmaghani 《The Communication Review》2018,21(3):181-211

The digital divide refers to the differential patterns of Internet access adoption and usage across different segments of populations. The digital divide has been linked to demographic variables such as age and gender, and socioeconomic characteristics such as education and income. Using a nationally representative Canadian survey (N = 27,223) conducted in 2013, this paper investigates whether religiosity has an independent effect on the digital divide, accounting for the previously validated predictors of Internet use. Religiosity is found to negatively associate with Internet access and activity, controlling for a large set of characteristics such as age, ethnicity, education, and income. The religiosity-related gaps in the usage patterns appear to indicate lifestyle differences for those without any tie with religion compared with the individuals of average religiosity. For the very religious, the gaps indicate that they utilize the Internet for social networking less than others. Various implications are discussed.  相似文献

加拿大中小学STS课程的实践与启示   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

杨明全 《外国教育研究》2008,35(8)

加拿大是在中小学阶段成功推行STS课程的国家之一。在科学教育的实施过程中,加拿大以培养学生的科学素养为总体目标,明确界定了科学素养的四个基础,并提出以统整性的"科学—技术—社会—环境"(STSE)作为实施STS课程的新方式。在加拿大,萨斯咯彻温省、大不列颠哥伦比亚省在实施STS课程方面较有代表性,其课程设置和实践经验值得借鉴。  相似文献   

Measuring the Impact of Gold and Green Open Access     

Li Zhang  Erin M. Watson 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2017,43(4):337-345

Using data from Web of Science, this research investigates how physical science researchers funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research complied with its open access policy, and compares the citation counts of articles published through gold and green models.It was found that, for articles published between 2008 and 2015, 9% were available through gold open access routes and 13% were available through green routes; most were not openly accessible. Citation rates were comparable for green open access and non-open access articles, but citation rates for gold open access articles were lower. After controlling for publication year, citation rates of gold, green, and non-open access articles were comparable. Among gold open access articles, citation rates were highest for open access journals with article processing charges, but after controlling for publication year, articles published in hybrid journals, followed by those in open access journals with article processing charges, achieved the highest citation rates. Articles published in free open access journals had the lowest citation rates. The results suggest that green open access is the most economical approach to comply with open access policies, and that it provides researchers with at least as much research impact as gold open access.  相似文献

Adam Stewart 《Public Library Quarterly》2017,36(3):228-243

In this article, I do two things.

Second, I provide three revised recommendations, this time intended to assist library leadership address some continuing challenges that are preventing the complete recovery of the library, and ultimately, negatively impacting the effectiveness of the library within the community.  相似文献

从冲突到协作:试论加美特殊关系的形成     

张欢雨 《蒙自师范高等专科学校学报》2005,3(2):8-11

加美关系的发展并不是一帆风顺的。在二战前的漫长岁月中,两国之间的摩擦与矛盾不断。二战的爆发成为两国关系的一个转折点:由战前的彼此对抗发展为战时的相互合作。加美特殊关系由此建立。战后,加拿大从政治、经济、军事等方面全面向美国靠拢,不断深化与美国的合作。并且,加拿大逐渐融入以美国为主的西方国际体系,从而获得了国家发展的良好环境。  相似文献
