It is further found thatthe age variable should be considered as a random effect on life satisfaction, i.e., an effectthat varies between households.     

论婚内侵权赔偿责任制度在婚姻法中的确立

对于婚内侵权是否应承担责任,学界和实务界都存在分歧。我国《婚姻法》虽然规定了离婚损害赔偿而未规定婚内损害赔偿,但两者并不相排斥。《民法通则》和《婚姻法》中的相关规定为婚内损害赔偿提供了可能。我国立法有必要对该制度加以确认,使之与我国婚姻法中已确立的离婚损害赔偿责任相结合,形成完整的婚姻损害赔偿责任体系。

我国城镇独生子女婚姻匹配状况研究

以2000年全国人口普查资料1‰原始数据为基础,结合上海市闵行区独生子女调查资料,采用对数线性回归模型,定量分析了独生子女在年龄、教育、职业、行业、独生子女身份等方面的婚姻匹配状况。同类婚是独生子女婚配的主要形式,独生子女强化了门当户对的习俗。这种强化将对社会结构产生深刻影响,加深社会阶层之间的隔离,降低了社会开放度,但在一定程度上缓解了当前严格的一孩政策。     

Examining the Impact of Four Key Cultural Dimensions on Ethnic Restaurants in Victoria in Australia

This study examines the impact (if any) of four key cultural dimensions on ethnic restaurants in regional Victoria, Australia. Based on a modified model developed by Nguyen and King [Nguyen, T., & King, B. (2002). Migrant communities and tourism consumption – the case of the Vietnamese in Australia. In C.M. Hall (Ed.), Tourism and migration. New relationships between production and consumption (pp. 221–256). The Netherlands: Kluwer Academic Publishers], this article explores the impacts of religion, co-ethnic ties, marriage and family support on the entrepreneurial behaviour of restaurants. These four cultural dimensions have been identified as influencing factors (Nguyen & King, 2002), but to what extent? It suggests that co-ethnic ties, marriage and family support are important to the daily operations of an ethnic restaurant, and potentially, long-term financial success. This is theoretically important in understanding how ethnic minority restaurants may differ regarding entrepreneurial business decisions compared to similar Western businesses. Utilising family and co-ethnic ties, labour resources offers a competitive advantage in four ways; reduced labour cost, efficiencies in communication, predictable behaviour and restaurant promotional opportunities. Religion, the fourth key cultural dimension put forward in Nguyen and King's (2002) model did not strongly influence entrepreneurial behaviour; however, it still may have relevance outside business behaviour.

试谈汉代婚嫁观

男大当婚,女大当嫁,时代不同,伦理道德观念不同,人们的婚嫁观也不尽相同。汉代封建文明虽已发展到一个较高的水平,但婚嫁风俗上,原始社会古风犹存,而且封建纲常名教在两汉时期尚未形成系统周密的理论,贞节观念也未深入人心。所以汉代婚姻环境相对宽松,婚嫁观具有一定的传统性和开放性。女子择夫尚富贵和才能,不重贞操,不重尊卑名分;男子择妇尚相貌,也尚财富,对于女子贞节并不看重。此外,本文还运用相关史料,分析了汉代婚外关系的广泛存在。     

Extending the Marriage Metaphor as a Way to View Marketing Relationships

ABSTRACT

Relationships lie at the center of many marketing activities, and in certain cases are a central focus of a firm's marketing strategy. This review further develops the use of marriage as a useful metaphor for understanding many marketing relationships. Specific attention is given to the nature of a marriage relationship and to the critical transitions and different trajectories that define marriages. Dwyer, Schurr and Oh (1987) point out that far too little is known about these aspects of marketing relationships. We provide a complementary perspective on the issues that will help relationships survive and prosper. Drawing upon work in the area of marriage and family studies, we introduce several aspects of relationship trajectory and discuss implications for marketing conduct and scholarly research.

Influence of the Number of Statewide Referenda Involving Emotionally-Charged Issues on Voter Turnout, 2006

The issue of same-sex marriage is an emotionally charged one. So is the issue of abortion. This is true to the point where it has resulted in several cases in the placement of statewide referenda on the ballot for voter approval or disapproval. This study tests the hypothesis that greater numbers of such emotionally charged referenda may increase voter turnout because they may elevate the expected gross benefits of voting by empowering “interested voters” while not significantly increasing the expected gross costs of voting. Using state-level data for all 50 states for the 2006 general election, and after allowing for a variety of economic and demographic factors, this study finds compelling evidence that the numbers of statewide referenda dealing with same-sex marriage and abortion did in fact significantly increase voter turnout.
