An examination of the relationship between social self-efficacy and personal growth initiative in international context     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2017

The cross-cultural transitioning experience of international students has been viewed as a high-impact practice for student learning. International students experience both challenges and growth opportunities when they encounter new peoples and environments. However, limited research exists on the student factors that predict benefits, growth or resilience for international students through their cross-cultural transitioning experience. This study investigated social self-efficacy as a predictor of personal growth initiative amongst international students, above and beyond demographic and linguistic factors. In addition, the factorial structure of Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II was examined. Our results indicated that the perceived ability to successfully negotiate social situations and produce positive social interactions predict greater personal growth initiative and its dimensions regardless of students’ language proficiency. Moreover, results from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided further support for the first-order four-factor structure of the PGIS-II. Results have implications for improving international student integration, because efforts to support students’ social self-efficacy are linked to their personal growth initiative.  相似文献   

‘The old days of amateurism are over’: the Samaranch revolution and the return of Olympic tennis     

Matthew P. Llewellyn  Robert J. Lake 《Sport in History》2017,37(4):423-447

Tennis featured in every Olympics from 1896 to 1924, after which disagreements between the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF) on matters pertaining to organisational control and the amateur eligibility of players led to tennis being removed from the Olympic Games as a full-medal event until the 1988 Seoul Olympics. This paper traces the steps of the sport’s reinstatement, from when efforts commenced in the 1950s, setting this development in the contexts of: broader political movements, shifting IOC leadership, burgeoning commercialisation of Olympic sport, the concomitant push for professionalisation and the declining influence of amateur ideals within both the Olympic movement and international tennis. Under the leadership of the amateur stalwart Avery Brundage, the IOC stymied attempts to facilitate tennis’s re-entry, challenging both the ILTF on failing to deal with widespread ‘sham-amateur’ practices and the avaricious promoters luring amateur players toward the professional ranks. Brundage and the IOC also strongly condemned the move to ‘open’ tennis and an acceptance of full-blown professionalism. Only a change in leadership, firstly with Lord Killanin and then the progressive reformer Juan Antonio Samaranch, did the IOC recognise the value of tennis within the Olympic movement, which by then had itself become increasingly money-oriented.  相似文献   

Minority Cultures and Social Media: Magnifying Garifuna     

《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2013,42(4):319-339

This paper looks at social media use by the Garifuna people. It explores how they are using social media to create a supraterritorial cyberscape. Despite the claim that global media is marginalising minority cultures and causing global homogenisation, this research found that newer forms of social media are in fact creating virtual cultural cyberscapes that are extending minority cultures. The Garifuna cultural response to social media can be demonstrative of the positive impact of social media minority perspectives. The larger implication, though, is that traditional geographical models of cultural space are becoming obsolete. In this research, a total of 60 Garifuna in locations all across the United States and Honduras were selected for participation. Their access to and use of media were examined.  相似文献   

中国出口商品的技术结构与贸易竞争力研究--对1995-2012年10类商品MS、RCA、TC和IIT的综合评价     

刘艳  王诏怡  黄苹 《黑龙江生态工程职业学院学报》2015,(1):76-85

根据Lall（2000）提出的贸易产品技术分类体系进行商品分类,进而分别测算中国1995—2012年10类商品的国际市场占有率（ MS）、显示比较优势指数（ RCA）、贸易竞争力指数（ TC）和产业内贸易指数（ IIT）,分析表明：中国出口商品的技术结构和贸易竞争力都得到了很大提升,在保持传统低技术制成品强大竞争力的同时,部分中高技术制成品的出口取得突破性进展,以市场换技术的发展战略基本成功;但商品贸易竞争力仍主要来自劳动力成本优势,且出口商品的产业集中度过高,仍处于全球价值链的低端。应促进各类高技术产业的发展,抢占其价值链的高端,并在某些中高技术产业重点突破,提高整体贸易竞争力。  相似文献

我国女子长跑运动的国际竞争力研究     

段海俊  吴国梁 《哈尔滨体育学院学报》2009,27(1)

长跑是一种体能与技术兼备的竞技项目,随着竞技运动水平不断提高,长跑运动的短跑化趋势日趋明显。从众多运动现象发现长跑运动的核心竞争力并非耐力,而是运动员在比赛中的变速和冲刺能力。核心竞争力不足是影响我国女子长跑运动员运动水平提高的主要问题。长跑运动技术和力量速度素质是制约核心竞争力的两大主要因素。摆动和送髋技术是影响步幅的主要技术原因,也是影响长跑竞争力的核心技术。  相似文献

国际体育仲裁中一事不再理原则的适用     

李智 《湖北体育科技》2009,28(5):508-510

运用国际法及案例研究的方法,分析 一事不再理原则如何在国际体育仲裁中得到适用。在国际体育仲裁中,仲裁规则并没有对裁决效力如何及于利害关系第三方做出规定,使得利害关系第三方另行提起仲裁的问题十分突出。由于体育争端的类型特征及仲裁管辖权取得与行使的特殊性,运用传统的＂一事不再理＂原则的适用标准对后续仲裁是否构成＂一事＂进行判别,有失偏颇。仲裁庭可以在告知第三方程序、仲裁原因及事实理由审查、衡量裁决结果的影响度等方面进行规则的制定与完善,以期＂一事不再理＂原则在国际体育仲裁中得到调适。  相似文献
