大学生英语学习坚毅实证研究

随着心理学与二语习得领域的不断融合,坚毅人格在二语习得领域开始受到关注。文章对二语坚毅这一人格特征展开调查,在国内五所高校大一至研究生学生中回收有效问卷344份,旨在探索大学生英语学习坚毅的内容结构、使用现状、总体特点和差异表现。探索性因子分析表明二语坚毅由不懈努力和如一兴趣2个因子组成。通过描述性因子分析、单因素方差分析和独立样本T检验进一步发现,大学生二语坚毅水平呈现良好面貌,其中不懈努力程度略低于如一兴趣,低年级学生在如一兴趣方面普遍优于高年级学生。研究结果为促进大学生英语学习和教师个性化教学提供了参考和启发。With the continuous integration of psychology and second language acquisition, grit began to attract attention in the field of second language acquisition. This paper conducts a survey on the personality characteristic of L2-grit, and collects 344 valid questionnaires from freshmen to graduate students in five domestic universities, aiming to explore the content structure, use situation, overall characteristics and different performance of college students’ English learning grit. Exploratory factor analysis shows that L2-grit consists of two factors: unremitting effort and consistency of interest. Through descriptive factor analysis, one-factor analysis of variance and independent sample T-test, it was further found that the L2-grit level of college students showed a good appearance, in which the degree of perseverance of effort was slightly lower than that of consistency of interest, and lower grade students were generally better than senior students in terms of consistency of interest. The results provide reference and inspiration for promoting English learning and teachers’ personalized teaching.

能否“对陌生人微笑”?——从情感估价理论看微笑的文化差异

不同国家和民族对能否在公众场合向陌生人微笑有不同的规约。该研究首次基于情感估价理论对东西方文化中微笑的复杂含义进行解读,分别从情感状态分类、情感状态的影响因素、理想情感的作用几方面进行剖析。研究发现,不同国家、民族对陌生人微笑的处理方式不同;其与微笑的规范性和元规范性有较强相关;西方人倾向于高唤醒、积极的理想情感,东方人倾向于低唤醒、积极的理想情感;理想情感来源社会实践中的文化影响和社会目标;西方人较东方人更倾向于影响他人,因此更易对陌生人微笑。该研究为阐释东西方对陌生人微笑的差异提供了新的解读视角。
