我国大学生生命教育及其干预的研究

生命教育在现时代是一个紧迫且值得深入探讨的问题，它应成为高校教育的重要组成部分。近年来我国大学生的生命教育研究有了一定的进展，但仍缺乏对大学生生命教育的实证和干预研究。 生命教育是指向生命自身、针对生命内涵的教育，是引导受教育者正确认识人的生命、生命的价值，理解生活的真正意义的教育。近年来，我国生命教育的科研已经取得了一定的成绩，但对大学生的生命教育研究还处于一个起步阶段，特别是实证研究更是欠缺。本文对近十年来国内关于大学生生命教育及其干预的研究进行梳理与概括，以促进对此问题的深入思考。

A longitudinal study of the effects of life status changes on changes in consumer preferences

Marketers and consumer researchers have maintained a long-standing interest in understanding continuities and changes in consumer preferences. The present research attempts to provide explanations for stability and changes in consumption patterns by presenting a theoretical framework according to which the results of previous studies may be recast and further research advanced. The authors develop hypotheses and test them with retrospective and longitudinal data, using alternate measures of key variables. The authors suggest implications of the study findings for marketers and theory development, and they provide directions for future research.     

The evolution of the Australian life insurance industry

The life insurance industry in Australia has traditionally been an important source of long term finance for both the public and private sector. However, very little historical analysis has been undertaken into an industry that constitutes a fundamental part of the economy's financial sector. The present climate of deregulation has initiated an irrevocable process of change within the industry. To comprehend the full implications of this change it is necessary to have an understanding of how the industry has evolved. This paper seeks to provide a background account of the growth of the life insurance industry in Australia highlighting the influences that have determined the structure of the industry.     

收入不平等对中国人口健康影响的实证分析

CALCULATING TRAGEDY: ASSESSING THE COSTS OF TERRORISM

Abstract.  The trends and consequences of terrorist activities are often captured by counting the number of incidents and casualties. More recently, the effects of terrorist acts on various aspects of the economy have been analyzed. These costs are surveyed and put in perspective. As economic consequences are only a part of the overall costs of terrorism, possible approaches for estimating the utility losses of the people affected are discussed. Results using the life satisfaction approach, in which individual utility is approximated by self-reported subjective well-being, suggest that people's utility losses may far exceed the purely economic consequences.     

The failure of new entrants in commercial banking markets: a split-population duration analysis

Almost one in four of the new commercial banks chartered in the United States during the 1980s failed. This study uses a split-population duration model to examine failure patterns and failure determinants for these banks and compares the results to a benchmark model estimated for small established banks. The results are consistent with a “life cycle” pattern of new bank failure: compared to small established banks, newly chartered banks are initially less likely, then substantially more likely, and finally equally likely to fail. These patterns were most extreme for banks chartered just prior to the banking recession of the late 1980s or early 1990s.     

Comparison of Frontier Efficiency Methods: An Application to the U.S. Life Insurance Industry

The objective of this paper is to provide new information on the performance of efficiency estimation methods by applying a wide range of econometric and mathematical programming techniques to a sample of U.S. life insurers. Average efficiencies differ significantly across methods. The efficiency rankings are well-preserved among the econometric methods; but the rankings are less consistent between the econometric and mathematical programming methods and between the data envelopment analysis and free disposal hull techniques. Thus, the choice of estimation method can have a significant effect on the conclusions of an efficiency study. Most of the insurers in the sample display either increasing or decreasing returns to scale, and stock and mutual insurers are found to be equally efficient after controlling for firm size.     

Motivations for Activity Participation as Predictors of Emerging Adults' Psychological Engagement in Leisure Activities

Psychological engagement has been identified as a critical factor in the potential benefits of emerging adults. leisure activity participation. Emerging adults. motivations for participation might be particularly important in predicting psychological engagement. In the present work, we report findings from a study of motivations for leisure participation and its associations with psychological engagement. In a sample of 183 undergraduate university students, we found that three of the five hypothesized motivators positively and significantly predicted greater psychological engagement. Specifically, greater psychological engagement was related to leisure participation motivated by a desire to learn and exercise skills and abilities, protect the self (for example, to alleviate guilt by helping others), and because of opportunities presented by others. favorable attitudes towards involvement.
