The Effects of Social Support,Depression, and Stress on Drinking Behaviors in a College Student Sample     

Perry M. Pauley  Colin Hesse 《Communication Studies》2013,64(5):493-508

Social support research contends that supportive interactions provide a buffer wherein individuals are protected from increased risk due to negative affect. The present study investigated the relationships between social support and college students' stress, depression, and alcohol use. A total of 54 students completed questionnaires in exchange for extra course credit. Results demonstrated that stress and depression were correlated with one another and that social support was negatively correlated with each of these outcomes. Depression, but not stress, was correlated with increased drinking behavior. Overall, social support was negatively correlated with alcohol consumption; however, depression moderated the effect of social support such that support and alcohol consumption were negatively correlated for participants with higher depression whereas support and alcohol consumption were positively correlated for individuals with lower depression. These findings partially confirm existing theories of alcohol use that hypothesize differences between self-medicating drinkers and social, sensation-seeking drinkers.  相似文献   

Internet Connectedness and its Social Origins: An Ecological Approach to Postaccess Digital Divides     

Joo-Young Jung 《Communication Studies》2013,64(4):322-339

This study examines the influence of sociocultural factors on the level of “Internet connectedness.” The Internet Connectedness Index (ICI), composed of five items, is modified and applied to measure disparities in the ways in which people use the Internet. With a dataset of 384 randomly selected telephone survey respondents, the ICI is regressed on various social indicators. The result indicates that technological environments, social environments, and the scope and intensity of Internet-related goals significantly influence individuals' Internet connectedness. This finding highlights that even after people gain access to the Internet, the ways they incorporate the Internet into their everyday lives differ, and that the differences reflect disparities in the multiple dimensions of the social context in which individuals are situated.  相似文献   

Long-Term Sociopolitical Effects of 9/11 Television Viewing,Emotions, and Parental Conversation in U.S. Young Adults Who Were Children in 2001     

J. Brian Houston 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(3):183-192

This research used a survey to examine how 9/11 television viewing, emotions, and parental conversation influenced current sociopolitical attitudes of young adults who were children in 2001. Young adults who watched more television coverage of the 9/11 attacks as children were found to exhibit lower levels of social trust and support for immigration now, whereas young adults who had more frequent conversations about 9/11 with their parents as children were found to have more confidence in U.S. political institutions and to exhibit more support for immigration. These results illustrate that, although the psychological distress from an event like 9/11 may fade for children not directly affected by the event, the influence of that event on how young people think about the world may remain, and that media coverage of and parental conversation about the event play significant roles in influencing these long-term effects.  相似文献   

Dialogic voices in talk about drinking and pregnancy     

Leslie A. Baxter    John B. Lowe  Peter Nathan  Liz Pearce 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(3):224-248

Alcohol use during pregnancy poses a significant risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. This study presents the interpretive findings of the formative research phase of a funded grant to develop a community‐based public health media campaign on the topic of drinking during pregnancy. In the initial wave of data collection, 50 rural women were recruited from four Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinics in southeastern Iowa to participate in semi‐structured interviews. In the second wave, 10 additional WIC clients were interviewed for member‐checking purposes. Findings revealed two competing discourses that organized these women's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding drinking and pregnancy: the discourse of individualism and the discourse of responsible motherhood. These two discourses offer opposing normative guidelines for talk among their close female relatives and friends. The implications of these findings for designing a community‐based media campaign are discussed.  相似文献   

Characterization,weathering, and protection of sandstones: The case of ‘Agro d'Ardesia’     

《文物保护研究》2013,58(1):50-57

Abstract

The conservation of roofing and cladding materials has both environmental and cultural heritage bearing. Our research aimed at comparing the performances of some polymeric products used for the protection of a typical Italian sandstone, the ‘Agro d'Ardesia’, used mostly as cladding, paving, roofing, and building material. These products belong to three different classes: polysiloxanes, acrylics, and fluoropolymers. In addition, an acrylic–silicone mixture was chosen for testing. After the application onto the Agro sandstone by capillary absorption, both efficacy and durability were assessed. Particularly, two types of weathering tests were performed to check the stability over time of the protective products: the exposure to ultraviolet radiation in a climatic chamber and the ageing by exposure to acid rain, expressly designed to represent realistically natural and anthropogenic changes. Detailed information on treatment performances was obtained. The polysiloxane was shown to be the most effective protective material for the Agro sandstone.  相似文献

中国农村低收入群体社会保护的政策安排     

谢东梅 《未来与发展》2009,(12):17-20

社会保护政策安排是专门针对一个国家或社会的低收入群体,其政策目标是为了减少贫困和促进社会公正。改革开放以来,中国针对农村低收入群体的社会保护政策主要归结为区域性和开发性扶贫政策、传统社会救助政策以及农村最低生活保障制度。从社会保护政策的演进与转型中,可以得出：农村最低生活保障制度作为一项旨在保护农最低收入群体基本生存权利的不可或缺的社会救助制度,是对原有的社会保护网的一种修补,是一项适宜的制度选择。  相似文献
