How virtual reality influences travel intentions: The role of mental imagery and happiness forecasting

Virtual reality can influence consumer behavior in powerful ways, but in the domain of tourism marketing, less is known about the psychological process. One possibility is that VR has stronger impact on mental imagery than traditional channels, creating vivid simulations of what it would be like to visit destinations. This process might create hedonic expectations of future happiness, which should increase the willingness to actually seek out the destination in real life. The results from a laboratory experiment provided support to this hypothesis. Participants were randomly assigned to view a nature destination either in traditional still images or virtual reality, and then reported their initial responses before making an actual consumer choice. VR exposure led to higher levels of mental imagery and happiness predictions, which in turn was associated with stronger travel intentions and purchasing decisions. However, VR effects on consumer choice were moderated by previous experience with the destination.     

商会治理功能与组织边界的经济学分析——基于公共选择的理论框架与中国的经验证据

本文构建了一个由分摊成本、决策成本和拥挤成本构成的综合成本最小化的公共经济学模型,用以分析商会分别提供公共产品、俱乐部产品和混合产品时的组织边界形成机制;考察了行业结构、制度规制和组织能力等因素对商会功能和规模的影响;使用粤、浙两地的问卷调查数据对影响商会治理功能的若干重要因素进行了经验检验并得出了若干启发性的结论。     

市场经济下大学生法律诚信观念的培养

近几年,大学生诚信缺失问题,愈来愈成为公众关注的焦点。因此,如何在市场经济条件下引导大学生诚信观念的转变是教育工作者必须要正视的一个问题,笔者认为诚信教育必须实现从道德诚信向法律诚信、从主观诚信向客观诚信、从人格诚信向制度诚信的三个观念的转化。     

浅析高校科研团队的建设

加强团队建设,实现信息资源与智慧的共享,可以为个体创造更加广阔的发展空间,科研团队构成可以分领头人、核心层、辅助层三个层面,团队目标要做到明确、切实可行,且有一定的挑战性。团队是一个"松散型"组织,在团队建设过程中,要尊重个人兴趣,维护个人利益,正确分析和看待成员在工作上的失误,坚持民主、团结、公平的原则以及理解、尊重、信任的态度,不断提高团队的凝聚力和归属感,努力创造比、学、赶、帮的良性竞争,谨忌功利主义。     

由“人之初性本善”看高校教师管理

中国传统对善的思想的教育契合了美国著名管理科学家道格拉斯·麦格雷戈所提出的管理学上的假定人性善的"Y理论"管理框架。这种管理理论有助于改善目前中国高校对教师进行的行政管理所造成的教师被动局面。改善教师管理必将有助于提高高校的办学水平。实现高校、高校管理者以及教师的共赢。     

基于良好率的航材保障经费预测

采用了航材保障良好率作为航材保障的效能指标,建立了航材保障良好率的数学模型。以航材保障经费为资源,平均航材保障良好率达到最大为目标函数,建立了航材保障经费的优化配置模型。用边际分析法求解,并建立了最优递推方程。通过实例演示了如何利用配置模型进行预测,计算工具是Matlab,进行了数值实验和理论分析,结果表明该模型具有良好的优化效果和实用性。     

善治语境下群体性事件的预防和化解

群体性事件大多具有突发性特征,其发生的原因是多方面的。当前需借鉴善治治理理念与制度架构,实现治理主体多元化和公共利益最大化;还要政府、社会和公民互动融合,实行科学民主决策,畅通民意表达和利益诉求渠道,推进社区治理,强化社会整合功能,从根本上预防和化解群体性事件发生。     

The quest for publicness: political conflict about the organisation of tramways and telecommunication in Sweden,c. 1900–1920

This article explores political conflicts about the organisation of public services in Sweden c. 1900–1920. The authors argue that political decisions play a vital role in shaping the political economy of public services. The case studies analysed are the political debates about the communalisation of the tramway system in Stockholm, and the nationalisation of Sweden’s last private telephone company. In both cases, the transfer of the service to public organisation was a lengthy process, ending in the late 1910s. This is explained using the concept of publicness. Drawing on three discursive chains, the argument is that the political development was affected by the politicians conception of the political community, the form of organisation and by perceptions of values such as equal access and modernity. In the case of the tramways, public organisation was seen as the best option to defend the public against corruption and self-interest. In the case of the telephones, free market competition was seen as a guarantee for an efficient and cost-effective service. The reason for this difference, is argued, was that the debate on the tramways articulated a clearer notion of publicness, where equal access and public opinion carried larger weight.     

协商民主的限制简析

虽然协商民主号称是民主理论的“协商转向”。但是协商民主在理论和实践上都面临着诸多限制。协商民主强调以共同善为依据达成共识,但是共同善常常无法达到;协商民主强调以理性对话为主,但是参与者的理性能力是有限的,即使能够完全按照理性来进行协商,也未必能够保证公共利益最大化;协商民主主张由一般民众在公开、透明、平等的情况下进行讨论,但来自政治精英、经济优势阶级、专家学者、媒体的政治操弄始终无法避免。由于这些限制,协商民主无法替代代议民主,它的价值在于培养公民的共和精神和包容、参与、平等的政治文化。     

基于预付人权视角的人权沟通路径刍议

基于天赋人权理论的种种局限性,有必要从一个新的高度和视角来建构我国的人权理论体系。“预付人权”理论的核心理念是,人权基于对等而有偿。预付人权理论所包含的公正性因素,以及其在法治实践中的优势。使人权理论有效规避了人权思想异化的风险,屏蔽了天赋人权观中的不合理因素。这最大程度上确保了人权实现在合乎正义、合乎理性的轨道上运作。
