An Evaluation of the Federal Communications Commission's 2007 Report on TV Violence     

Paul J. Wright 《The Communication Review》2013,16(2):174-186

At the behest of 39 members of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Energy and Commerce, in 2007 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a report that addressed the effects of violent television on children, the constitutionality of various strategies for regulating children's exposure to violent television content, and the viability and benefit of a congressionally developed definition of excessively violent television programming. This review evaluates how well the FCC carried out the tasks assigned to it by Congress, particularly in regards to the FCC's assessment of the social scientific research on the effects of exposure to televised violence.  相似文献

Relational Commitment and the Silent Treatment     

Courtney N. Wright  Michael E. Roloff 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(1):12-21

When upset with a relational partner, intimates often enact the silent treatment, although it can harm their relationships. This study investigates the degree to which relational commitment predicts a person's self-reported use of the silent treatment. Undergraduate daters indicated their relational commitment, their use of the silent treatment when upset with their partner, and what they do if the partner asks if they are upset. Relational commitment was negatively related to using the silent treatment and stonewalling when the partner asked if there was a problem. Relational commitment was only positively related to admitting being upset when the partner asked if there was a problem. Study limitations and future research implications are discussed.  相似文献

Practical Knowledge,Performance, and Physical Education     

Lesley J.M. Wright 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2013,65(3):273-283

This paper is based on the premise that physical education as a practical subject on an educational curriculum is often undervalued because the concept of practical knowledge is not sufficiently understood. Explanations that rely on either propositional knowledge or on practical reasoning are inadequate. A critique is given that exposes “knowing how” as an ambiguous concept. It is argued that the performance itself counts, judged against the public standards of excellence that a particular physical education activity demands. Practical knowledge, it is concluded, is a legitimate kind of knowledge where there will be evidence of intentional action and learning and where there will be an implicit, as well as an explicit, dimension.  相似文献

Introduction     

Tony Wright 《Open Learning》2013,28(1):3-4

In the last issue of our predecessor journal, Teaching at a Distance, Alistair Morgan considered what the term ‘independent learning’ meant in the Open University context. This article continues that debate, placing it in the context of a general model of the teaching and learning system, and relates independent learning to the idea of learning as personal development. The author, Tony Wright, is Staff Tutor in Technology in the East Anglian region of the Open University.  相似文献
