Intercultural communication for health personnel     

Elizabeth Berry  Joan B. Kessler  John T. Fodor 《Int J Intercult Relat》1983,7(4):377-392

In order to develop successful health care delivery systems, both in the United States and abroad, health service workers need to understand various cultural orientations and to communicate effectively within the cultures. The authors discuss the cultural implications of health problems in three countries, the need for training health science professionals in intercultural communication, and describe an intercultural communication course designed especially for health science students at California State University, Northridge.  相似文献   

International perceptions across the sea: Patterns in Japanese young adults     

Kaoru Yamamoto  O.L. Davis  Gail McEachron-Hirsch 《Int J Intercult Relat》1983,7(1):69-78

The international perceptions of Japanese young adults were explored in 172 professional education students in two Tokyo colleges. They classified 30 nations according to their “current” and “future” affinity to Japan. Little difference was detected in the Q-sorts between institutions arid sexes, while the “current” and “future” sorts correlated .96 with each other. In cluster analyses, many two-nation units (e.g., Czechoslovakia-Yugoslavia) were found to be the building blocks for the overall pattern. The total configuration consisted of three broad groups: mostly Western European nations, problematical nations (China, Russia, Israel, Egypt, etc.), and remote and neutral nations. Structurally, the results were similar to those for American young adults, but the contents were different. The notion of cultural metastereotypes thus received tentative support.  相似文献   

Effects of administrative scheduling and directions upon student ratings of instruction     

Henry F. Dizney  John L. Brickell 《Contemporary educational psychology》1984,9(1):1-7

Using temporal proximity of instructor/course evaluations to critical in-course events, together with psychological set provided via directions, the present investigation sought to assess (1) the appropriateness of within-course time-series analyses for instructor ratings, and (2) the potency of inducing rater perceptions of the rating process as an interactive variable in course evaluations. A 2 × 2 (temporal proximity by psychological set) factorial design used students enrolled in two sections of an undergraduate course in educational psychology as subjects. Using both midterm and final examination time periods as data collection points, the results of this investigation suggested that preexamination instructor/course evaluations tend to be more favorable than postexamination evaluations, and that a specific positive psychological set prior to evaluations tends to produce more favorable evaluations than very general, brief instructions.  相似文献   

Factors predictive of black students' communication with the administration and students at a predominantly white university     

Warren Watson  Ina Siler 《Int J Intercult Relat》1984,8(3):255-267

Black students' interaction with a predominantly white university's administration, faculty, and students appears to be a central issue in current study of black student success in college. This study examined personality and situational factors predictive of black students' communication with such a university's administration, faculty, and students. The development of an instrument describing environmental and social concerns of black students demonstrated reasonable predictive validity of communication with the administration and white students. Feelings about the social environment and tendencies of communication anxiety were among the strongest predictors of black students' communication.  相似文献   

论从屈原到宋玉的四大转型   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

吴广平 《职大学报》2005,(1):31-34

宋玉是战国晚期楚国著名的辞赋作家,历来与屈原并尊为"中国文学之祖".但屈原是楚辞的代表作家,而宋玉则是楚赋的代表作家;屈原所创作的楚辞重抒情,而宋玉所创作的楚赋重体物;屈原喜犯颜直谏,宋玉好微辞讽谏;屈原崇高伟大,宋玉自然亲切.从屈原到宋玉,实现了由楚辞向楚赋的转移、由缘情向体物的嬗变、由直谏向曲谏的发展、由崇高向世俗的回落.这些都标志着中国文学的重大转型,对后代作家及其文学创作产生了深远的影响.  相似文献   

Contextual cues and depth of processing in short prose passages     

Raymond W. Kulhavy  Jay L. Sherman  Richard F. Schmid 《Contemporary educational psychology》1978,3(1):62-68

Two experiments compared context and depth-of-processing strategies applied to the learning of short aurally presented prose passages. In the first study, contextual orientation led to significantly higher recall than a continue-paragraph condition, and both strategy groups performed significantly better than a nonstrategy control group. In the second experiment, continuing paragraphs was superior to generating contextual theme statements, with both strategies again superior to the controls. These results were discussed in terms of the ways in which processing demands effect memory for connected discourse.  相似文献   

Communication channels within ethnic groups     

Leo W. Jeffres  K.Kyoon Hur 《Int J Intercult Relat》1981,5(2):115-132

Major channels of communication are examined for two major functions: providing news of the ethnic community, and linking ethnics to the “mother country.” The four major channels are: interpersonal channels (friends and neighbors), radio, local metropolitan daily newspapers, and ethnic-language newspapers. Size of ethnic group is linked to channel preference, and greater ethnicity is related to a preference for ethnic media for both functions. Lower SES ethnics lend to rely more on interpersonal communication and ethnic media, while higher SES ethnics turn more to metro media and magazines. Channel preference as indicated by respondents is also linked to actual usage patterns.  相似文献   

A historical overview of educational psychology     

Don C Charles 《Contemporary educational psychology》1976,1(1):76-88

A historical review of educational psychology might improve understanding of current status and problems. Before American development of the field, the Greeks, Juan Vives in the 16th century, and Pestalozzi and Herbart in the 19th century applied psychological views to educational problems. Despite the absence of scientific psychology in 19th century America, normal schools offered courses purporting to be psychological in content; these courses were supported by textbooks on the subject. James began, and Thorndike developed, the discipline that by the mid-1920s had assumed much of its current form. Journals and academic departments appeared in the first quarter of the century also. The continuing search through the middle of the century for a satisfying professional organization reflected educational psychology's difficulties in establishing an identity. It is not clear even today that the field has “crystallized,” as one writer described it in the 1920s.  相似文献

自抗扰控制技术在铝电解过程控制中的应用     

阚洪亮 《科技广场》2012,(10):107-109

针对铝电解控制系统的大滞后、大惯性以及动态特性随工况变化的不确定性等特点,本文提出了ADRC技术的氧化铝浓度控制方案。该控制方案能使铝电解过程很快进入稳态,超调量较小,提高了铝电解过程的动态和稳态性能。  相似文献
