Chinese Postgraduate Students in the UK
Chinese students who come to study in the UK and their UK teachers have to adapt to cultural differences in their experience of and expectations about teaching and learning traditions and practices. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained for Chinese postgraduate students and the staff teaching them in two Scottish universities to investigate the extent of their shared perceptions and their reciprocal adaptations. Students, especially tho…
Theoretical models of culture shock and adaptation in international students in higher education
Theoretical concepts of culture shock and adaptation are reviewed, as applied to the pedagogical adaptation of student sojourners in an unfamiliar culture.The historical development of 'traditional' theories of culture shock led to the emergence of contemporary theoretical approaches, such as 'culture learning', 'stress and coping' and 'social identification'.These approaches can be accommodated within a broad theoretical framework based on the a…
The fundamentality of group principles and perceived group entitativity
Modelling conversational pragmatics in communication aids
The Use of Stored Text in Computer-Aided Conversation
Augmentative communication (AC) systems with synthesized speech output have been developed for nonspeaking people. Most AC devices that aim to support social conversation have been designed to help the user generate novel utterances as quickly as possible. However, they remain too slow to support effective, real-time conversation. Preconstructed phrases have been shown capable of supporting socially effective conversations with a succession of ne…

Computer Anxiety in Primary Schoolchildren and University Students
A group of first‐year psychology students and a group of 9 year‐old children of comparable intelligence completed self‐report inventories measuring computer anxiety (CA), mathematics anxiety (MA), trait anxiety (TA) and computer experience (CE). The contributions of age, sex, TA and CE to scores on CA and MA were investigated in multivariate and univariate analyses of covariance. The children were less anxious about computers than the students. T…
Structured Role Orientation and Academic Self‐concept in the Secondary School
S ummary . Gordon's (1978) School Environment Preference Survey (SEPS) and Cohen's (1976) six‐item adaptation of the Brookover (1967) Self‐Concept of Academic Ability Scale were administered to 25 pupils in each of the first four years in a Scottish secondary school. The correlations obtained provide support for Gordon's (1971) hypothesis that pupils with a high degree of structured role orientation, as measured by the SEPS, lack confidence in th…
High speed memory scanning in retarded and non‐retarded adolescents
Four groups of 13–14‐year‐olds, classified on the basis of Raven's Progressive Matrices scores as intellectually above average, average, below average and retarded, were subjects in a Sternberg (1966) type memory scanning task in which memory sets of two, three and four letters were used. Slope values of the memory search function did not differ between groups, whereas intercept values decreased with higher intelligence up to the average intellig…
