Communication and marital satisfaction: Social desirability and nonlinearity     

C. Arthur Vanlear 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(1):38-44

In this paper two possible limitations with much of the traditional research on communication and marital satisfaction are explored: The failure to test for social desirability bias and nonlinear effects. Fitzpatrick's RDI, social desirability, and marital satisfaction questionnaires were administered to one hundred seventy‐one couples. The results suggest that social desirability bias may inflate correlations between sharing, traditionalism and marital satisfaction. Further, “traditional” couples were no more satisfied than “independent” couples when social desirability is controlled. Several nonlinear quadratic effects were obtained between sharing, traditionalism and marital satisfaction.  相似文献   

Sex and Gender Similarities and Differences in Communication Values in Same-Sex and Cross-Sex Friendships     

Amanda J. Holmstrom 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(2):224-238

This study extends research on sex differences and similarities in communication values by examining (a) the influence of sex of friend on ratings of functional communication skills in same-sex and cross-sex friendships, (b) the moderating role of friend's sex in sex differences in evaluations, and (c) the mediating role of psychological gender in sex differences in communication values. Participants (144 men and 148 women) rated the importance of communication skills for either same-sex or cross-sex friends. Results indicate that, although men's and women's ratings of communication skills are similar, participant sex, gender, and sex of friend do exert some influence.  相似文献   

珠江三角洲地区旅游资源的基本特征与市域差异   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

肖光明  郭焕成 《资源科学》2009,31(8):1430-1437

珠三角在我国区域旅游发展中占有十分重要的地位,研究其旅游资源本身具有基础性研究意义.面对大区域旅游资源评价困难的状况,文章采用定性与定量相结合的方法,对该区域旅游资源的基本特征进行了分析评价,并系统比较了该区域九城市旅游资源的差异性.前者包括旅游资源的类型效应、强度效应和聚集效应评价.后者包括九城市在旅游资源丰度、配合指数、总体优势度方面的差异以及在各自旅游发展中所起作用的差异.研究发现,对于珠三角这样的大区域,选取上述评价指标对深入把握旅游资源的总体特征和旅游资源的内部差异是恰当的;珠三角九城市旅游资源的数量、组合及其总体优劣势不尽相同,在各自旅游发展中的地位与作用也存在明显差异,并由此形成不同的旅游发展模式;有必要通过系统整合,以有效推进该区域的旅游资源空间一体化进程.  相似文献   

Investigation of behavior and perception of digital library users: A cognitive style perspective   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Enrique  Sherry Y.  Xiaohui 《International Journal of Information Management》2008,28(5):355-365

Cognitive style is an influential factor in users’ information seeking. The study presented in this paper examines how users’ cognitive styles affect their behavior and perception in digital libraries. Fifty participants took part in this study. Two dimensions of cognitive styles were considered: (a) Field Dependence/Independence; (2) Verbalizer/Imager. The results showed that Intermediate users and Verbalizers have not only more positive perception, but they also complete the tasks in effective ways. Implications for the design of personalized digital libraries are also discussed.  相似文献   

英语中“性别歧视”的文化溯源     

胡敏 《苏州工职院》2007,(2)

语言总是反映着时代的社会传统文化。"性别歧视"特别是人们对女性的歧视在社会的各个方面都会留下很深的时代烙印。语言也是如此,从语言本身所包含的"性别歧视"去解读隐藏于其中的文化,又会促使我们更深入地把握语言的实质。  相似文献

Sex Differences in the Perceived Appropriateness of Receiving Verbal Aggression     

Lindsey Susan Aloia  Denise Haunani Solomon 《Communication Research Reports》2017,34(1):1-10

This study predicted that (a) male recipients evaluate aggressive messages as more appropriate than female recipients, and (b) the magnitude of this difference varies as a function of contextual parameters. A total of 249 college-aged students responded to hypothetical scenarios to evaluate the influence of sex of the message recipient, sex of the message source, relationship type, and privacy level of the communication setting on recipients’ evaluations of appropriateness of aggressive communication. Results indicated that male recipients evaluate aggressive messages as more appropriate than female recipients, and this main effect was moderated by sex of the message source, relationship type, and privacy level. The discussion highlights the subjective experience of aggression for male and female recipients.  相似文献   

透过文化模式看英语表达     

张志红 《宁波广播电视大学学报》2006,4(4):61-63

本文通过Hall和Hofstede的文化模式对中国学生在使用英语进行表达时的一些常见问题和不规范用法进行了分析和总结。笔者认为,中国学生之所以不能准确和地道地用英语表达自己的想法,很多时候是因为他们根深蒂固的汉语思维模式仍在潜移默化的发生作用,因此利用文化模式对表达中的常见问题进行分析可以强化中国学生的英汉文化差异和英汉思维模式差异的意识。  相似文献   

香港词语与大陆词语差异成因初探     

廖京京 《湖北广播电视大学学报》2008,28(4):110-111

香港词语与大陆词语使用存在着很大差异,本文从社会原因、语言本体及使用者心理因素等几方面尝试分析了这种差异的成因,并指出基于差异的融合趋势。形成差异的社会原因可分为政治、经济、教育和民情等几方面,而语言本体差异成因可从外来词、方言词、文言词的吸收及缩略语特点等角度考察。使用者主观因素可分为影响造词和影响词变。  相似文献   

Family Problem Solving: A Comparative Study of Adult Children in Puerto Rico and the Upper Midwest     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(3):139-156

This study examined family problems and problem solving among American Upper Midwest and Puerto Ricans participants. Thematic and chi-square analyses provide a snapshot of how diverse families experience similar macro problems in day-to-day endeavors. Responses to each macro issue or strategy also suggest ways that the two cultural groups relate to family problems differently. Puerto Rico participants described and discussed significantly more communication-related problems and they also identified communicating about the problem less as something they had thought about to resolve the problem than did Upper Midwest participants. The article discusses how micro level values are inherent in macrocultural family problems.  相似文献
