US share traders in New York during a recent volatile session. Source: National Features THE optimism shown on global share markets over the first three months of 2012 has shifted back to pessimism on fears that an imploding Europe will trigger another global financial crisis.

科學研究發現周日晚上求愛易成功

Posted in CH
    一周有7天,哪天最適宜求愛呢?澳大利亞的科學家研究發現,周日是求愛成功率最高的日子。     澳大利亞的心理學家和社會行為學家共同進行了這項研究,他們招募了200名未婚男性,年齡從18歲—35歲不等。然後,研究者跟蹤了他們的戀愛情況,包括對女性的追求方式,求愛方式和求愛時間以及最後的成功率。結果在排除了諸多因素的影響後,研究者驚奇的發現,在周日晚上求愛的男人,更容易獲得女性的同意。     研究者指出,這並不是偶然現象,周日求愛之所以更容易成功有兩個原因。一是因為周日晚上,大部分人已經進入工作狀態,不太願意出門參加社交活動,如果對方在這時仍然答應與你約會,說明他(她)心中有你,比較在乎你,所以一般不會拒絕你的求愛。二是周日晚上,人容易產生沮喪和失落的心理,心理防線較低,在聽到他人的愛與真心時,容易受到感動。因此,想要向愛人表明心意,不妨將這個時間選在周日晚上吧。(許 >>>

張青方心理學講座 化解代溝

Posted in CH
slideshow 拉斯維加斯唯一的華裔心理學治療師張青方博士,應拉斯維加斯華人協會之邀,20日下午在華人中心舉辦本地華人社區首見演講座談,以新移民家庭父母與子女間文化差異產生的代溝問題,和拉近鴻溝的方法作精闢講解,並主持由與會者參與角色扮演、增進了解的練習。20餘名拉斯維加斯華裔家長前往聽講座談,張青方指導華裔家長如何認識自己家庭的結構和動力,訂定家庭規則,以使全家每一分子,都能透過互動達到行為交流認同,增進家人情感。她說,家長應努力建立健康的家庭結構,心理學上把家中每一個人都畫成圖表,把每家庭成員之間他們的互動寫下來,就有一張清晰的關聯鍵圖表,清楚知道家庭中每一分子的觀念和行為,對於建造健全家庭結構有很大幫助。張青方說,溝通的藝術在於傾聽,華人父母要學習聽懂兒女心聲,用同理心並傳達他們了解子女的困惑,來處理代溝及文化溝問題。她說,她手中正在處理的華人家庭問題中,可看得出華人家長對子女的教養方式有專制、有民主、有溺愛順從,也有忽視子女的,在家庭中就產生過嚴的權威命令管教法,孩子可能激烈反抗,也可能消極扺制,父母子女間的距離愈來愈遠。角色扮演時,與會者均有所省悟,大家意猶未盡,都期望張青方不久後再演講新移民在美的各種問題。華人協會會長劉安生表示,心理學講座為該協會系列回饋社區演講活動之一,張青方是華協理事,很榮幸為華人服務。 >>>

"La mente e la nostalgia del cuore" di Renato Barbruni …

Alla Biblioteca Civica “Corradi” di via Carli a Sanremo lunedì 28 maggio alle 17 sarà presentato il libro “La mente e la nostalgia del cuore” di Renato Barbruni, Dalla brama del conoscere alla ricerca di un senso compiuto. La mente e il cuore Non si vuole dire la ragione e il sentimento. Poiché in questo lavoro la nozione di mente non si esaurisce nella nozione di ragione; come la nozione di cuore non coincide con quelladi sentimento.  La mente si esprime in tante funzioni necessarie alla vita ma non sufficienti a penetrare il suo senso profondo. Poiché il senso della vita non >>>
