  克隆植物常常生长在资源异质性分布的环境中,克隆植物特有的生活史特征使其对环境和资源变化产生的反应规范(Reaction norm)具有特殊的表现和适应意义。本文以匍匐茎草本植物蛇莓(Duchesnea indica)和活血丹(Glechoma longituba)为材料,研究克隆植物在不同异质性环境中的反应规范,即可塑性(plasticity)和克隆分株间相互作用(即克隆整合(clonal integration))对表型的影响及其适应意义。 蛇莓和活血丹是具有不同分枝类型的两种匍匐茎草本植物。对于匍匐茎草本植物而言,生境中光资源分布在时间和空间上的变化极为丰富。本文主要研究在不同环境中,这两种克隆植物克隆分株间的相互作用是如何通过影响其形态特征,从而影响其光资源获取策略。 实验涉及了4种光照条件,分为5个部分,分别在大棚和野外进行。 1.同质光环境中蛇莓和活血丹克隆片段的可塑性 在大棚中,将整个克隆片段(clonal fragment)都放置在光照强度分别为自然光照PPFD(Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density)的100%、50%和10%三种不同的同质光环境中,目标是通过比较不同光照强度同质环境中不同基因型的形态特征,揭示匍匐茎草本克隆植物的反应规范及遗传差异。实验结果发现,当光照强度从100% PPFD 降到 50% PPFD时,活血丹增加对地上部分生物量投资,增加部分多投入到匍匐茎上,用于支持匍匐茎实现觅食行为,叶片和叶柄的变化不大。同样条件下,蛇莓的生物量投资却向根部转移,地上部分叶片和叶柄形态上的变化比匍匐茎的形态变化显著,出现增强对光资源吸收能力的变化。当光照强度从50%降到 10%时,活血丹继续增加对地上部分的生物量投资,但由于光照强度弱,几乎不足以维持新的匍匐茎的发生,所有增加的生物量部分都投入到叶片和叶柄的变化上。这种条件下,蛇莓的生物量投资依然向根部转移,叶片和叶柄为增加对光资源吸收能力而发生了相应变化,匍匐茎的新增数减少,形态变化也不大。实验证明,可能由于匍匐茎的发生方式不同,活血丹的匍匐茎节间长度,叶片和叶柄的关联程度比蛇莓相应性状的关联程度强。不同基因型的蛇莓和活血丹对光照梯度的反应有显著差异。 2.异质光环境中蛇莓克隆片段的可塑性 针对克隆植物分株间在相当长的时间里形体相连,而环境异质性可能存在于分株大小的空间尺度,设置异质环境,将蛇莓的不同相连分株放置在不同的光资源斑块中,研究其整合作用在适应异质性环境过程中的作用及其对表型的影响。首先设置同一种资源(光资源)的梯度差异斑块。 在光斑块中,整合作用发生与否、作用方式与资源梯度、分株自身所处斑块的资源条件和分株的年龄结构有关。在不同的条件下,整合作用可能造成对表型的不同影响,从而可能加剧或削弱分株对本地资源的反应(局部反应,local response)。整合作用对分株局部反应的影响强度和方向,在不同基因型间存在明显差异。这些基因型间的差异暗示,整合作用可能也是具有遗传基础的一种独立性状。 3.光块斑和养分斑块共存环境中活血丹克隆片段的可塑性 设置光和养分的资源互补性斑块。将相连分株种植在不同斑块中。当生长在高光低养斑块中的分株与其互补斑块(低光高养斑块)的分株相连时,其适合度相关性状的值增加,根冠比是可塑的,通过相应的形态变化,高光照斑块中的分株捕获光资源的能力增强,但两种斑块中植株的吸收养分的能力却没有大的变化。收益-损耗分析显示整合作用有益于异质环境中的植株,低光高养斑块中植株的生物量获益。实验结果证明了异质环境中相连分株间存在光合产物和养分传递。在这种环境种,分株形态的变化对本地斑块发生趋富反应,形态的改变有助于对本地丰富资源的吸收。这种反应有利于克隆片段对资源的吸收。 4.野外环境中蛇莓克隆片段的可塑性 基于大棚实验资料,对野外林下蛇莓种群进行监测。首先对单株在林下复杂的光环境中的表现进行了跟踪,结果发现,随着分株数目的增加,适合度相关性状值有所提高,而处于不同位置的相连分株在形态上的差异不显著。大棚实验中发现的显著形态变化在具有显著差异的自然环境条件下没有发生,这可能暗示着在资源条件变化频率较高的环境中整合作用的作用方式。分株不是对某一时刻资源条件进行形态特化,而是通过对所扩展的总体区域的总的环境条件调整表型。这样,从克隆片段的水平上看,资源的吸收可能达到较高水平。在密度增大,植株间互相荫蔽使得光照减弱的情况下,匍匐茎的变化没有表现出觅食行为,叶片和叶柄出现增大增长等增强吸收光能力的相应表型变化,证明叶片叶柄是克服光照不足的主要器官。这些结果与大棚实验结果一致。蛇莓基株对于相连分株内部可能具有密度调节功能,从而通过减弱叶片增大的趋势,增长匍匐茎,分散新生分株,使密度保持在一定程度,不对种群的发展造成阻碍作用。非相连分株间随着密度的增大,相互间的作用方式类似于非克隆植物:出现叶片增大,叶柄增长的现象,同时密度制约了适合度相关性状如分株数目等的增加。 5.野外环境中蛇莓种群格局动态 最后,在进化的单位,种群水平上对蛇莓种群在自然界的动态进行了调查。Spearman相关分析,没有发现光资源和测量指标在量上的相关。在自然界中整合作用使大量分散分布、相互连接的分株相互作用,以促进基株对资源的获取。Moran’s I指数分析显示,随时间的推进,各个指标在相关尺度上有所增加。这暗示了整合作用的存在,分株间联系的加强。大棚实验中观察到的关于各个器官的作用的结论在自然界中得到进一步的验证。蛇莓匍匐茎在遮荫环境中不是作为觅食器官。为了争取对更多光资源的吸收,蛇莓在叶片数和叶形态上发生改变。对分株数、叶片数、匍匐茎数目的分布格局的调查显示出没有一定的规律性,而且处于不断的变化中。这一结果可能暗示种群发展过程中处理异质性分布资源的对策的变化。 此外,本文还揭示了可塑性和整合作用在基因型间的差异,针对所发现的现象,从作用的遗传机制上对可塑性及其适应意义进行了讨论。结合分子生物学和地统计学等学科的研究成果,对进一步的实验提出了方法和路线。

Studies on lie-detection by western psychologists indicate that lying cues people usually hold are not in accordance with the real verbal and non-verbal behaviors that liars usually show. A cross-culture study carried out by C.F.Bond and its global research team finds that the commonest view held by people from 75 nations about lying behavior is that liars usually avert gaze, while study shows that gaze-aversion has no relation with lying. In Bond’s view, stereotype of the liar reflect more about common cross-culture values than an objective description of how liars behave. Different culture has its norms based upon which people judge whether a person is credible or not. As a nation of long Confucianism tradition, how Chinese view liars differently from people of other culture is the interest of this study. By a comparative study with that of Bond’s research, it is found that, in line with Bond’s finding, Chinese generally hold the same stereotype about liars with that of the westerners; but it seems that Chinese rely significantly less on gaze-aversion as a cue to lying, and they concern more about senders’ motivation and emotion. It is also found that confidence about their detection ability among Chinese is lower than westerners. A further study on different professions and their view about lying behaviors shows that people in law-enforcement and related professions generally hold a more accurate view toward how liars behave. Possible explanations to the above mentioned findings in view of culture differences, aspects to be improved in this study and direction of future research are discussed in the later part of the thesis.

The relationship between the management and the culture was explored from the view of social norm's theory. In concrete terms, the differences of the hierarchical structure of the social norm among the Chinese, the Japanese and the American were studied systematically by using interview, case study, questionnaire survey and the structure equation model, etc. The results were: (1) The basic two types of the social norms of the Chinese, the American and the Japanese were the same: the external control norm and the internal control norm. The basic dimensions of the two types of norms composed of moral principle, value orientation, the law and the rules, and the social custom were consistent among the three countries. Furthermore, the dimensions of social norms were hierarchical because of the functioning of the different culture, which consisted of the hierarchical structure system. (2) Although there were the same dimensions among the three countries, the contents of these dimensions had both the common norms surpassing the specific culture and the particular norms depending on the specific culture. (3) The basic structures of the social norms in China and in Japan were the same: the internal control norms played a main role and the external control norm was auxiliary. On one hand, within the internal norm of the Chinese, the moral principle was the main force while the value orientation was the supplementary; within the external norm, the law and the rules was the main force while the social culture custom was supplementary. On the other hand, the relationship between the external and the internal dimensions of the Japanese turned out to be contrary to those of the Chinese. (4) The structure of the American social norms were different from the Chinese: for the American, the external control norm played a main role while the internal control norm was assistant. Furthermore, the law and the rule was the major aspect while the social costumes was the second in the external control dimension. In addition, the value orientation led the performance style of the American, while the moral principle played the second role in the internal control structure. (5) The social norms related to the management performance were found including work responsibility, organization commitment, meeting making-decision, communication style, work duty and interpersonal conflict by inventory and case study. The mangers from China, Japan and America had significant different views on paying attention to the management norms. In a word, the culture differences of the social norm were the fundamental reason of the management conflict.

This study is aimed at examining the degree of the basic scales (validity scales and clinical scales) between The Chinese MMPI and MMPI-2. Four samples (include schizophrenia, affective disorder, neuroses and normal subjects) of 236 subjects completed MMPI/MMPI-2 Combined Questionnaires in groups. The concordance rate for total code types was 90.1%. For 1-point, 2-point, 3-point and elevated code types, they were separately 81.6%, 65.8%, 49.2%, 64%. Only 56.8% of men compared to 73.8% of the women showed concordance in 2-ponit code types between MMPI and MMPI-2. And 58% of normal subjects compared to 48% of the schizophrenia subjects showed concordance in 3-point code types. Of the 236 cases, 156 (66.1%) had code types that were "well-defined" (1-, 2- or 3-point). 1-point, 2-point, 3-point well-defined code types respectively were 38.6%, 29.7%, 21.6%. For 2-point code types which were well-defined, the concordances was 84.3%, 82.8%, 85.7% (all the cases, men, women), higher than 64.4%, 56.8%, 72.9% when they were free-defined. 96.4% of subjects with incongruent 2-point code types had one of the scales in their MMPI code types with MMPI-2 code types. When deference caused by the use of uniform T-scores and new norms in MMPI-2 were found, the differences typically in code types congruence were not very great. Comparison of mean scores for the validity and clinical scales, 7 raw scores and 12 T-scores showed significant difference for MMPI versus MMPI-2 (Form). In spite of significant mean differences, correlational analyses show correlations above 0.92 for the raw scores and T-scores for each gender. All these results showed the good consistence between MMPI and MMPI-2 in basic scales, and showed MMPI-2 should be studied deeply.

Data on meaning of working (MOW) were collected from 905 respondents in Beijing area through a stratified sampling procedure of the questionnaire used in the restudy of meaning of working (which is still on going, adapted for using in China). Some parts of the factor structure obtained in this study are similar to what found by the MOW International Research Team (1987). Detailed analysis and cross-cultural comparisons were concentrated on the most similar parts societal norms about working (SNW). T-scores of the obligation norm (ON) and entitlement norm (EN) of Chinese were calculated based on the reaction frequencies of relevant items provided by the MOW International Research Team and shown as follows. The results reveal the obligation orientation characteristic of Chinese respondents. And more, 4 SNW patterns of Chinese respondents were obtained through multivariate cluster analysis and multivariate discrimination analysis and shown as follows. The influences of antecedent variables on SNW and the consequences of SNW were analyzed. Two questions were raised from these analyses: 1) The present measurements of SNW are not able to reflect the nature of the relation and dependency between ON and EN and are not free from social desirability; 2) the relationship between SNW and actual working behaviors need to be tested while the relationship between SNW and several work intentions was confirmed. A forced-choice scale of SNW was designed to overcome the shortcomes of the original scale. This scale includes 30 items. Each item is composed of a ON statement and a EN statement with similar values of social desirability. A repertory grids test was used to exam the constructure validity and to analyze the differences of cognitive structures of the 4 SNW patterns. The results indicated that the new scale had a good discrimination power. An experiment was designed to test the relationship of SNW and the actual work behaviors of the respondents. The respondents' action in completing a task was chosen as working behavior index. 4 hypotheses were tested: 1) higher obligation orientation subjects are more likely to complete tasks no matter overtime; 2) scheduled tasks are more likely to be completed no matter overtime; 3) the obligation norm about working is positively correlated with general obligation norms; and, 4) external motivtors will enhance lower obligation orientation subjects' working motivation more than higher obligation orientation subjects' the results verified hypothesis 1 and 3, but didn't support hypothesis 2 and 4 these findings will have great implication in administrating.
