Monitor and Acceptance among Couples in Romantic Relationships:Actor-Partner Interdependence Models Based on the Monitor and Acceptance Theory

Communication could be an essential part of couples in their daily life.Based on Monitor and Acceptance Theory(MAT),the present study explored the mediating role of communication in the relationship between mindfulness and relationship quality among college-student couples.The research examined the dynamic relationship of monitoring and acceptance to relationship satisfaction in the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model(APIM),and the mediating effect of positive or negative communications in these relationships.A total of 96 pairs of couples in the universities in Nanjing,China participated in the research.Momentary measurements were used to measure the momentary levels of their monitor,acceptance,positive/negative communication,and relationship satisfaction.A Hierarchical Linear Model(HLM)was used to deal with the APIM.Results showed that the women’s monitor facet of state mindfulness negatively predicted men’s relationship satisfaction through women’s negative communication,and the women’s acceptance facet of state mindfulness positively predicted women’s relationship satisfaction through women’s positive and negative communication at the within-person level.The study highlights the importance of cooperation in monitoring and acceptance for couples to own and hold high levels of relationship satisfaction.

Mindfulness-Based Communication: Reflections on the Role of Taiji Practice in Enhancing Intercultural Competence

Taijiquan(太极拳)is a discipline that influences the practitioners’body-mind and could lead them to a healthier state.In this article,the intercultural aspects of Taiji practice are explored,specific characteristics that practitioners could develop through the continued practice of Taijiquan.These qualities are studied through the lens of Taijiquan Classics,a collection of ancient theoretical and philosophical texts that is the foundation for Taijiquan theory and practice,in the framework of the science of intercultural communication.Our purpose is to explore yet another less-known benefit of Taijiquan practice besides its many,already well-known ones.We argue that Taijiquan has the potential to develop qualities and attributes associated with intercultural competence.

Reiki as a Communication Process:Between Philosophic Concepts and Experimental Application

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze and provide reliable solutions to the Reiki application technique,starting from the fundamental principles expressed by the Reiki origin philosophy,which are proved to be in accordance with the Informational Model of Human and Living Structures(IMHLS).This model reveals the following main fundamental features of the living organisms:(i)On the entire scale of evolution and organization,from the eukaryotic cell-the composing unit of human,plants,animals to human,the living organisms show a similar informational structure,defined as Informational System of Human and Living Structure(ISHLS);(ii)this informational system is organized in seven informational components,three of them assuring the structuration/restructuration/reproduction and maintenance of the body itself,and the other four the connection with external/inner reality for adaptation;(iii)the neuro-connections between brain and body of the informational components of the ISHLS correspond with the activity of“Chakras”of the ancient empirical model as vital centers of human;(iv)the activity of the ISHLS is reflected in mind by cognitive centers,explaining consciousness.The comparison between the informational results of the IMHLS,with the philosophic Reiki origin concepts,sustains the application of Reiki technique,but improves its understanding and right application by using new,modern concepts developed by the informational model,in accordance not only with their ancient,empirical expression,but much more than that,with actual scientific knowledge on this issue nowadays,concerning information and info-transferring/communication stream in the living bodies.The successful application and effective results of this new version allow to consider this as Ro-Reiki version,just to recognize the essential Romanian contribution to this improvement,concerning the implication and effectiveness of information and the info-communication mechanisms into the human and living organisms,explained in scientific terms of information and psycho-somatic therapy effects.

Artificial Social Intelligence:A Comparative and Holistic View

In addition to a physical comprehension of the world,humans possess a high social intelligence-the intelligence that senses social events,infers the goals and intents of others,and facilitates social interaction.Notably,humans are distinguished from their closest primate cousins by their social cognitive skills as opposed to their physical counterparts.We believe that artificial social intelligence(ASI)will play a crucial role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence(AI).This article begins with a review of ASI from a cognitive science standpoint,including social perception,theory of mind(ToM),and social interaction.Next,we examine the recently-emerged computational counterpart in the AI community.Finally,we provide an in-depth discussion on topics related to ASI.

汉语哲学:方法论的意义

汉语哲学自兴起以来的几年中已经形成了大致的领域和方向。在汉语哲学的多重意义中，方法论乃是一个核心。作为方法论的汉语哲学揭示了许多先前未被发现和认识的视野和问题。汉语哲学通过分析和比较语言与哲学问题的演化，说明“Being”问题仅是由特定语言形态带出的问题而不具普遍性。通过对人类语言总体趋势和乔姆斯基生成理论的反思，汉语哲学从人类语言共同的分析化趋势和普遍语法，揭示人类共同的心智结构与可传达性的关系。汉语哲学从语言际的理想意义的设想切入语言哲学，分析不同语言在表达世界和事物秩序时的差异，以揭示出人类共同心智结构与认知差异的关系这个未明的哲学问题，亦分析和阐明了与语言秩序对应的三种世界和事物的秩序及其语言际的可传达性的程度。汉语哲学的方法论视角令人认识到：汉语哲学主要关涉形而上学、认识论、语言哲学和逻辑等理论哲学的问题以及语言科学与脑科学等问题，而与实践哲学领域无多大干系。同样，汉语哲学与教汉语说哲学或民族性等问题，也没有关系。汉语哲学是一种理论的因而普遍性的哲学研究。
