Dialectic of sameness and difference The way to explain identity theme and variations
Holland would express it, not in terms from elsewhere (either diagnostic words like "hysteric" or structural words like "ego"), but in words as descriptive as possible of that person's behavior. Holland phrased an identity theme for a subject he will call Saul, who sought from the world balanced and defined exchanges, in which he would not be the one overpowered. Thus Saul's fear of me as an interviewer was variations on his.
Dialectic of sameness and difference How to comprehend that dialectic of sameness and difference? The easiest way to comprehend is Lichtenstein’s concept of identity as a theme and variations---like a musical -theme and variations. Think of the sameness as a theme, an "identity theme." Think of the difference as variations on that identity theme. According to Holland, he can arrive at an identity theme by sensing the recurring patterns in someone's life, just as he would arrive at the theme of a piece of music.

‘‘I Need You Too!’’ Corporate Identity Attractiveness for Consumers and The Role of Social Respo

‘‘I Need You Too!’’ Corporate Identity Attractiveness for Consumers and The Role of Social Respo

‘‘I Need You Too!’’Corporate IdentityAttractiveness for Consumers and The Role of Social Responsibility Longinos Marin Salvador RuizABSTRACT.The extent to which people identify with an organization is dependent on the attractiveness of the organizational identity,which helps individuals satisfy one or more important self-definitional needs.However,little is known about the antecedents of company identity attractiveness(IA)in a consumer–company context. Drawing on theories of social identity and organizational identification,a model of the antecedents of IA is developed and tested.The findings provide empirical validation of the relationship between IA and corporate associations perceived by consumers.Our results dem-onstrate that the Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) contribution to company IA is much stronger than that of Corporate Ability(CA).This may be linked to increasing competition and of decreasing CA-based variation in the marketplace.KEY WORDS:consumer behavior,corporate social responsibility,identification,identity attractiveness,rela-tionship marketingIntroductionWhile the customer-oriented literature on company relationships has been growing(de Wulf et al.,2001; Sheth and Parvatiyar,1995),the consumerÕs view of these relationships remains unexplored(Barnes, 1997).The effective management of customer rela-tionships requires a previous consideration of why customers enter into relationships withfirms.While from thefirmÕs perspective it is fairly clear that engaging in a positive relationship with its customers would enhance their loyalty and retention,leading to greater company profitability(Reichheld,1993; Stephens et al.,1996),customersÕmotivation to engage in a relationship with companies is not always panies,as organizations,con-stitute a social group(Dutton et al.,1994)and recent literature has found that one component of cus-tomersÕmotivation to engage in relationships with companies is to help companies provide to con-sumers in order to satisfy one or more key self-definitional needs through identification(Ahearne et al.,2005;Bhattacharya and Sen,2003). Originally developed in the areas of social psy-chology and organizational behavior,the concept of identification satisfies the need for social identity and self-definition,and in turn,has been demonstrated to positively impact member loyalty(Mael and Ashforth,1992)as well as employeesÕcitizenship behaviors(Bergami and Bagozzi,2000).Through organizational identification,organizations contrib-ute to individualsÕsocial identity(Brewer,1991; Dutton et al.,1994),i.e.,the internalization of a group category as part of the self-concept and the acceptance of the values and behavioral norms of the collectivity.Researchers and theorists have shown that the extent to which people identify with an organization is dependent on the attractiveness of the organiza-tional identity(Dutton et al.,1994).Identity attractiveness(IA)in the consumer–company con-text is likely to be a necessary condition for identi-fication(Bhattacharya and Sen,2003).Nonetheless, despite the relevance of consumer–company iden-tification in the marketplace,little is known about the antecedents of company IA for consumers. Furthermore,researchers(Maignan and Ferrell, 2004;Sen and Bhattacharya2001)have suggested that organizational identification theory may provide a solid basis for understanding how positive corpo-rate social responsibility(CSR)generates the activeJournal of Business Ethics(2007)71:245–260ÓSpringer2006 DOI10.1007/s10551-006-9137-ysupport of consumers.CSR associations reflect the organizationÕs status and activities related to its per-ceived societal obligations(Brown and Dacin,1997). In most cases,it is the customer who is courted and who usually decides that a relationship is over,while socially responsible corporate behaviors may trigger consumer identification(Lichtenstein et al.,2004). Building on this suggestion,it is of interest to analyze how consumersÕcorporate associations,both related to corporate ability(CA)and CSR(Brown and Dacin,1997)contribute to generate company IA. Based on the assumption that consumers will rewardfirms for their support of social programs, many organizations have adopted social causes (Levy,1999).CSR has emerged in recent years as both an important academic construct and a pressing corporate agenda item(Klein and Dawar,2004; Mele´et al.,2006;Waddock and Smith,2000), although it reveals itself among large companies not as a uniform concept but as a variety of conceptions (Whitehouse,2006).Firms have been found to engage in socially responsible behaviors not only to fulfill external obligations such as regulatory compliance and stakeholder demands,but also due to enlightened-self-interest considerations such as increased com-petitiveness and improved stock market performance (Drumwright,1994;Klein and Dawar,2004; Waddock and Smith,2000).ConsumersÕawareness of CSR practices positively influence attitudes toward thefirm(Brown and Dacin,1997;Creyer and Ross,1997),corporate reputation(Fombrun and Shanley,1990),and the evaluation of product attributes(Bigne´et al.,2005;Creyer and Ross, 1997).Consumers are demanding more out of organizations than simply a product of quality at low price(Handelman and Arnold,1999),they expect organizations to demonstrate congruence with some social values as contribution to the community. However,CSR is far from being the most dominant criteria in consumersÕpurchasing decisions (Boulstridge and Carrigan,2000),and traditional criteria such as price,quality,and brand familiarity seem to remain the most important choice criteria, i.e.,consumers continue buying for personal reasons rather than societal ones(Beckmann et al.,2001). These relatively contradictory results call for further investigation about CSRÕs consequences in con-sumer perceptions.The goal of this paper is to develop and test a conceptual framework of the antecedents of IA for consumers.Overall,our investigation contributes to the growing research on consumer–company iden-tification relationships in several ways.First,drawing on literature on social identity(Tajfel and Turner, 1986),organizational identification(Dutton et al., 1994;Mael and Ashforth,1992;Whetten and Godfrey,1998),and member identification(Bhat-tacharya et al.,1995),we provide additional support to thefinding that consumers use not only products, but also the organizations that produce those prod-ucts,to satisfy their more important self-definitional needs.Second,we provide empirical validation of the relationship between IA and corporate associa-tions(both CSR and CA)perceived by consumers. Third,we explore a new perspective of relationship marketing from the consumerÕs point of view. Finally,our model also demonstrates that CSR may influence IA,a basic antecedent of consumer–com-pany relationships,through multiple paths.In addi-tion,our model recognizes an important distinction between company attractiveness and company evaluation(CE).In the following sections,we present a conceptual framework of IA.We draw on extant research in marketing,organizational behavior,and psychology to elaborate on the nature of social identity.We then articulate our customer-level conceptual framework that offers propositions regarding the key determi-nants for company IA in the marketplace.Next,we present an empirical study where we test our model and conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and managerial implications of ourfindings.Identity attractiveness:literature reviewand research hypothesesResearch on identity indicates that individuals need a relatively secure and stable sense of self-definition of who they are within a given situation to function effectively(Erez and Earley,1993;Schwalbe and Mason-Schrock,1996).According to social identity theory,self-definitions are an amalgam of the idio-syncratic attributes(e.g.,assertive,ambitious)and social identities(e.g.,gender,occupation)that are most relevant(Tajfel and Turner,1986).Self-defi-nitions are important because they help to situate246Longinos Marin and Salvador Ruizindividuals in the context and,thereby,suggest what to do,think,and even feel(Ashforth,1998).Indi-viduals have a strong desire to view their self-defi-nitions in positive terms and seek to enhance their self-esteem through their social identities(Hogg and Abrams,1990;Tajfel and Turner,1986). Organizational identity has been combined with social identity theory to shed light on the process whereby individuals identify with organizations (Pratt,1998).Organization identity is an individual-specific perception and it derives from the(per-ceived)central,distinctive,and enduring attributes of the organization(Albert and Whetten,1985). Research has shown perceived organizational iden-tity to be a powerful mental picture that influences the degree to which an organizational member identifies with the organization(Bergami and Bagozzi,2000;Dutton et al.,1994).Organizational identification can then be seen as essentially a sub-type of social identification(Ashforth and Mael, 1989),or in other words,the‘‘degree to which a member defines himself or herself by the same attributes that he or she believes define the organi-zation"(Dutton et al.,1994;p.239).This strength of membersÕpsychological link to the organization is also related to the degree to which employees are motivated to fulfill organizational needs and goals, their willingness to display organizational citizenship and other cooperative behaviors,and their tendency to remain with the organization(Dutton et al., 1994;Kramer,1993;Mael and Ashforth,1995). Marketing research has shown that through brand preference,choice and consumption,consumers create meaning and try to define or strengthen their identity(Belk,1988;McCracken,1986).The strength of the customerÕs identification with the organization depends,therefore,on the extent to which that company or brand is viewed by the customer as a partner(Fournier,1998)or as a ref-erence group(Escalas and Bettman,2005).One of the components leading to a customerÕs identification with a company is the attractiveness of that company identity.Similarity-Attraction Theory (Berscheid and Walster,1969;Byrne,1971),Social Identity Theory(Tajfel and Turner,1979),and Self-categorization Theory(Turner,1985)combine to argue that people are attracted to,prefer,and support relationships with similar others,in order to rein-force their self-esteem and maintain balance of congruity in self-identity.Interaction is easier and less cognitively challenging with others who have similar attitudes,values,activities,or experiences (Kunda,1999).Identity attractiveness is the degree to which subjects prefer,are attracted to and support rela-tionships with a company given its enduring attri-butes(Ahearne et al.,2005).The attraction exerted by a company depends on its capacity to satisfy at least one of the three basic consumer self-definitional needs(Bhattacharya and Sen,2003):self-continuity (the need tofind the companyÕs identity similar to their own),self-distinctiveness(the need to distin-guish themselves from others in social contexts identifying with a company that has a distinctive culture,strategy,structure,or some other configu-ration of distinctive characteristics),and self-enhancement(the need to feel associated with a company that has an attractive perceived identity to enhance their self-esteem through acquiring a more positive evaluation of themselves).The model depicting our proposed relationships is shown in Figure1.We predict that company IA is primarily determined by corporate associations and consumerÕs support of CSR activities carried out by the company.In addition to a direct effect of CRS associations,which may be due to the positive social image related to these associations,these effects are mediated by CE and consumer–company congru-ence.How consumers value the company and how similar to themselves they think it is constitute essential elements required for consumers to prefer, be attracted to and support relationships with that company.Corporate Identity Attractiveness for Consumers247Consumer–company congruenceResearch on social cognition and memory has established that people actively organize their per-ceptions of other persons in their memories,using abstract‘‘personality trait’’categories such as‘‘hon-est’’or‘‘intelligent’’(Srull and Wyer,1989).Such abstract categories may also be used to classify cor-porate associations.Similar to perceptions of persons, these categories may correspond to different per-sonality traits(Davies et al.,2001).In the context of organization attraction, SchneiderÕs(1987)‘‘Attraction-Selection-Attrition model’’posits that applicants will be attracted to organizations where they perceive similarity be-tween their attributes and those of the organization. Job seekers prefer organizations with whom they perceive congruence between their and the organi-zationÕs primary values(Chatman,1991).Finally,in the job search process,individuals tend to be more attracted to organizations with which they perceive a match(Judge and Bretz,1992).For consumers,consumer–company congruence is the overlap they perceive between the companyÕs character and their own(Sen and Bhattacharya, 2001).Scholars have demonstrated that people identify with organizations when they perceive an overlap between organizational attributes and their individual attributes(Ashforth and Mael,1989; Dutton et al.,1994;Tajfel and Turner,1986). Both classical identity consumption theory(e.g., Belk,1988)as well as the more recent consumer–company identification model(Bhattacharya and Sen,2003)emphasizes the importance of identity similarity and attractiveness in shaping consumer attitudes,preferences,and choices.These two con-tributions are rooted in the similarity-attraction paradigm,which suggests that individuals are at-tracted to other individuals and groups that are similar to them(Berscheid and Walster,1969). People are attracted to,prefer,and support rela-tionships with similar others in order to reinforce their self-esteem and maintain balance of congruity in self-identity(Byrne,1971;Tesser et al.,1988). Therefore,when there is a match between cor-porate and consumer identity(C–C congruence), the relationship with the company should enable consumers to define more clearly and completely who they are or where they belong.Consumers will feel attracted to those companies they share common traits with,which in turn provides for a sense of self-enhancement(Asforth,1998).Thus,we propose the following hypothesis:H1:The stronger the consumer–company con-gruence perception,the greater the companyÕsidentity attractiveness for the consumer. CSR associationsOver the last decade,a number of academic studies have begun to look at the degree to which con-sumers are influenced by the associations they have regarding a companyÕs CA,on the one hand,and its CSR,on the other(Berens et al.,2005;Brown and Dacin,1997).CSR associations reflect the organi-zationÕs status and activities related to its perceived societal obligations(Brown and Dacin,1997).The companyÕs character revealed by its CSR actions is not only fundamental and relatively enduring,but also often more distinctive by virtue of its disparate and idiosyncratic bases than other CA-based facets of the company schema(Sen and Bhattacharya,2001). Consumers feel closer to some companies and brands than to others(Fournier,1998).When a corporation behaves in a manner that is perceived as socially responsible,consumers are likely to infer that it has certain desirable traits that resonate with their sense of self(Giacalone et al.,2005;Lichtenstein et al.,2004;Maignan,2001).Scott and Lane(2000) point out that some organizations portray themselves as exemplars of categories at higher levels of abstraction(e.g.,the Body Shop and animal rights activism or Saturn and teamwork),inviting con-sumers to cooperate(co-produce)with them in a specific social movement.These organizations seek to reinforce their legitimacy and to embody qualities they believe are particularly valued by stakeholders. If C–C congruence(CCC)is the overlap that con-sumers perceive between the companyÕs character, and their own,this CCC will be higher when a company undertakes CSR initiatives,to the extent that those initiatives signal to consumers that the company has traits that overlap with their self-con-cept(i.e.,civic minded,compassionate,and activist). In other words,it is easier tofind a major congruity248Longinos Marin and Salvador Ruizin values for the companies considered as socially responsible(Balazs,1990).Therefore,we propose: H2:The greater the CSR associations perceived by the consumer,the stronger the consumerÕsperception of consumer–company congru-ence.One stream of extant research investigates orga-nizational characteristics and their effects on attrac-tion to the organization.Structural attributes,such as decentralized decision-making(Turban and Keon, 1993)and reward systems(Bretz et al.,1989),are shown to influence perceptions of attractiveness (Backhaus et al.,2002).Organizations with positive affirmative action programs are more successful in attracting high-quality applicants(Wright et al., 1995).For example,Turban and GreeningÕs(1997) study has found a positive relationship between published ratings offirmsÕCSR and participantsÕratings offirmsÕattractiveness.Since they found a correlation between CSR and attractiveness,the study concluded that organizational attractiveness perceptions may be influenced by CSR.Similarly, Albinger and Freeman(2000)have also showed that CSR influences attractiveness ratings,but only for those job seekers with high levels of job choice. From a marketing perspective,thefirmÕs eco-nomic benefits from CSR have been documented in the link to consumersÕpositive product and brand evaluations,brand choice,and brand recommenda-tions(Brown and Dacin,1997;Sen and Bhattach-arya,2001;Vitell,2003).In addition,‘‘CSR activities can affect consumersÕgeneral sense of well-being,without such well-being necessarily translat-ing to company-specific benefits’’(Bhattacharya and Sen,2004,p.13).That well-being may be associated to the corporate IA as identification with an orga-nization engaged in do-good CSR actions can contribute to consumersÕself-esteem(Sen and Bhattacharya,2001),as a result of a collaboration (association)with an organization that is socially responsible.In other words,even though the con-sumer may not perceived his/her character as overlapping with that of the company,he/she may aspire to participate in relationships with the com-pany that undertake CSR activities,indicating a high IA,as being associated with the company may result in benefits to the consumer in terms of self-differ-ence and self-enhancement.‘‘When a corporation behaves in a manner that is perceived as socially responsible,consumers are likely to infer that it has certain desirable traits that resonate with their sense of self’’(Lichtenstein et al.,2004,p.17).We therefore propose:H3:The greater the CSR associations perceived by the consumer,the greater the companyÕsidentity attractiveness for the consumer. Company evaluationCompany evaluation refers to the degree of posi-tiveness or negativeness of the subjectÕs global judgment of the company.This global judgment is based on the companyÕs central,distinctive,and enduring characteristics,which are key components leading to the prestige of the organizationÕs identity (Bhattacharya et al.,1995).It means that the orga-nization is respected and admired by meaningful referents(Bergami and Bagozzi,2000;Dutton et al., 1994).By maintaining relationships with a company,the consumer satisfies his/her needs of self-esteem and security(Brewer,1991;Kunda,1999),one of the three basic self-definitional needs,through the in-crease of his/her social prestige(Mael and Ashforth, 1992),access to particular social opportunities (Smith and Mackie,2000),or simply the perception of him/herself as‘‘basking in reflected glory’’(Cialdini et al.,1976).The more prestigious an organization is,therefore,the better the opportunity for a consumer to enhance self-esteem through identification with the organization(Mael and Ashforth,1992).Taking into account that evaluation leads to prestige(Bhattacharya et al.,1995)and that identity prestige has been related to customersÕidentification with the company(Ahearne et al., 2005;Albert and Whetten,1985),a positive evalu-ation of the company will lead to high levels of that companyÕs IA.This leads us to formulate the fol-lowing hypothesis:Corporate Identity Attractiveness for Consumers249H4:The more favorable the consumerÕs evaluation of the company,the greater the companyÕsidentity attractiveness.Research on organizational identification has yielded evidence of the positive effects of person–organization congruence on organizational prefer-ences,job satisfaction,organizational commitment, and turnover intentions(Kristof,1996).In the consumption context,research on the evaluation of brand extensions has generally found that parent brand associationsÕinfluence on customersÕevalua-tions of new products is stronger when customers perceive a highfit between the product and the brand(e.g.,Aaker and Keller,1990;Smith and Park, 1992).Perceivedfit refers to the similarity between the existing brand and the new product or service. On the contrary,consumers who perceive an incongruity have shown lower attitudes toward the firm and its initiatives(Forehand and Grier,2003; Menon and Kahn,2003).CCC will have a positive effect on consumersÕevaluations of a company because of consumersÕgreater commitment toward that company.As suggested by Sen and Bhattacharya(2001),the effect of CSR on consumersÕCEs is likely to be mediated by CCC.Sen and Bhattacharya(2001) proposed this relationship only for high CSR-support consumers and tested it through regression analysis.We propose that a more general(not only for high CSR-support consumers)effect exists be-cause CCC may be a consequence of overlapping between consumer and company character traits other than those specifically derived from CSR associations(such as persistence in reaching some goals or staying in a market).In addition to the CSR consumer support,a higher CCC will gen-erate an enhanced CE as the person–organizationfit always leads to a more positive global judgment of the company(Tesser et al.,1988).Indirectly,it will mean a more positive judgment of the consumer him/herself,due to the overlapping of character traits between him/her and the company.We then propose:H5:The stronger the consumerÕs perception of consumer–company congruence,the morefavorable the consumer evaluations of thecompany.Marketing literature has also demonstrated that consumers use both performance-related corporate associations and perceived social responsibility when forming an impression of a company(Winters, 1988).More specifically,a reputation based on a companyÕs abilities exerts a significant impact on overall corporate evaluation(Brown and Dacin, 1997).Sen and Bhattacharya(2001)also showed this effect through the quality of a new product launched by the company(a variable that is a proxy for CA). Therefore,in order to facilitate the comparison of our model with those previously tested in the liter-ature(e.g.,Brown and Dacin,1997;Sen and Bhat-tacharya,2001),we include the following relationship in the model:R1:The greater the CA associations,the more favorable the consumerÕs evaluation of thecompany.CSR supportThe social side of the consumer leads him/her to avoid buying products from companies that harm society,and actively seek out products from com-panies that help society(Creyer and Ross,1997). According to Webster(1975),‘‘the socially con-scious consumer takes into account the public con-sequences of his or her private consumption or who attempts to use his or her purchasing power to bring about social change’’(Webster,1975,p.188).When buying,consumers take into account perceptions of ethical or unethical activities carried out by busi-nesses(Creyer and Ross,1997).Consumers expect businesses to behave ethically and are prepared to punish those businesses when they see them falling below the standards expected(Joyner and Payne, 2002;Vitell,2003;Vitell and Muncy,1992).The effect of this social side of the consumer can be in-cluded in our model through consumersÕpersonal support of the CSR domain(CSR support). When the support of the companyÕs CSR domain is high,consumers will perceive greater congruence between themselves and the company,either in terms of common attributes or a shared prototype, than will those whose support of that domain is low (Sen and Bhattacharya,2001).Consumers with high250Longinos Marin and Salvador RuizCSR support take into consideration the CSR activities undertaken by the company.They will check the companyÕs character attributes other than those strictly related to CA,which will lead them to find attributes that overlap with their personality traits in those companies that carry out CSR activ-ities.The less the CSR support,the less aware will be the consumer of the common attributes he/she shares with the company.Based on this,we propose that:H6:The greater the consumerÕs CSR support,the stronger the consumerÕs perception of con-sumer–company congruence.MethodologySampleThe model is tested in the context offinancial ser-vices relationships,defined as existing when there is an ongoing series of interactions between parties who know each other(Czepiel,1990).The respondents were customers of a largefinancial ser-vices provider.All respondents were responsible for financial matters in their families and were clients of the bank at the time of the pared to other industries,financial services providers do have relationship marketing advantages because many consumers are willing to establish relationships.This fact is evidenced by a growing literature on rela-tionships betweenfinancial services providers and customers(Colgate and Alexander,1998;Ja¨rvinen and Lehtinen,2003;Roman and Ruiz,2005), relationship marketing efforts being implemented by financial services providers in markets around the world(Johnson and Greyson,2005;Keltner,1995), and by the high effort developed concerning CSR in this sector(Decker,2004;Harvey,1995;Ogrizek, 2002).The banking industry in Spain has under-taken many CSR actions in the last years,spending in these activities a total of1300million euros in 2005(http://www.ceca.es).Data was collected from personal interviews. Twelve branches of a major retail bank in the region were chosen at random.The interviews were carried out in situ,at the main door of the branches,at different times of the day over a two-week period. One hundred and sixty-four consumers completed the survey.Of the entire sample,44%were female, 56%were male.Forty-two percent of the respon-dents were between26and45years old,and45% between46and64years old.Twenty-seven percent had a college degree,and21.5%were entrepreneurs. Twenty-seven percent reported being customers of the bank for at least two but less than six years,and 52.4%of respondents did business with three or more banks.MeasuresPreliminary versions of the questionnaire were administered to a convenience sample of18con-sumers,and pretest results were used to improve measures and design an appropriate structure for the questionnaire.Thefinal measures and reliabilities are provided in Table I.Measures consisted of11-point scales ranging from0(totally disagree)to10(totally agree)1,except for the CCC that was drawn from person–organi-zation-fit research(Kristof,1996)and measured as the Euclidean distance between subjectsÕperceived personality profile of the company and of them-selves.Personality profiles consisted of subjectsÕrat-ings of the extent to which they believed each of a set of personality trait adjectives described both them and the company(0=‘‘not at all’’,10=‘‘very much’’).The19adjectives(one was deleted after a pretest,as it was not well understood)were previ-ously used in a consumption context by Sen and Bhattacharya(2001).We measured corporate associations using afive-item scale from Brown and Dacin(1997).CE was measured using a six-item scale from Boulding and Kirmani(1993).IA was measured using a four-item scale adapted from Kim et al.(2001),following the recommendations of Bhattacharya and Sen(2003). Finally,we measured CSR support using a scale from Mohr and Webb(2005).ResultsThe models(CFA and SEM)described below were run using LISREL8.54(Jo¨reskog and So¨rbo¨m,2001).Corporate Identity Attractiveness for Consumers251。

hypothesesHypothesesIntroductionIn the world of scientific research, hypotheses play a critical role in the formulation of experiments and studies. A hypothesis is a statement or assumption that is made based on limited evidence or observations and serves as a starting point for further investigation. This document aims to explore the concept of hypotheses, their importance, and how they are formulated and tested in various scientific disciplines.What is a Hypothesis?A hypothesis is a proposed explanation or prediction for a phenomenon or a question that can be tested. It is an essential element of the scientific method and is used to guide research and experiments. Hypotheses are usually based on existing knowledge, previous observations, or theories, and serve as an attempt to explain or predict a particular phenomena.Formulating a HypothesisThe process of formulating a hypothesis requires careful consideration of the existing knowledge and evidence. To develop a hypothesis, researchers typically follow a few key steps:1. Identify the research question: The first step in formulatinga hypothesis is to clearly identify the research question or problem that needs to be addressed. This question should be specific and focused to provide a clear direction for the research.2. Review existing knowledge: Once the research question is identified, it is important to review the existing knowledge and literature related to the topic. This helps in understanding previous findings and theories that can inform the formulation of a hypothesis.3. Generate possible explanations: Based on the existing knowledge, researchers generate possible explanations or predictions for the research question. These explanations are known as hypotheses and should be testable and falsifiable.4. Refine the hypothesis: After generating the initial hypotheses, researchers refine and narrow down the options to develop a more focused and specific hypothesis. This is done by considering factors such as feasibility, relevance, and available resources.Testing a HypothesisOnce a hypothesis is formulated, it needs to be tested through experimentation or observation. The process of testing a hypothesis involves the following steps:1. Design the experiment: The researcher designs an experiment or study that will allow them to collect data and test the hypothesis. The design of the experiment should be carefully planned to ensure that it provides valid and reliable results.2. Collect and analyze data: During the experiment, data is collected and analyzed to determine whether the results support or refute the hypothesis. Statistical analysis is often used to evaluate the significance of the findings and to draw meaningful conclusions.3. Draw conclusions: Based on the analysis of the data, the researcher draws conclusions about the hypothesis. If the results support the hypothesis, it is considered to be validated. On the other hand, if the results contradict the hypothesis, it may be necessary to revise the hypothesis or develop new ones for further investigation.Importance of Hypotheses in Scientific ResearchHypotheses are a fundamental aspect of scientific research for several reasons:1. Guiding research: Hypotheses provide a clear direction for research, allowing researchers to focus their efforts on specific questions or problems. They help in organizing the research process and ensuring that it is purposeful and systematic.2. Promoting objectivity: Hypotheses help in maintaining objectivity in scientific research by providing a framework for testing and evaluating ideas. They prevent bias and ensure that the research is based on evidence and logic rather than personal opinions or beliefs.3. Advancing knowledge: By formulating hypotheses and testing them through rigorous experimentation, researchers contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields. Hypotheses that are supported by evidence can lead to new discoveries and insights.4. Identifying limitations: Hypotheses allow researchers to identify and address the limitations of existing knowledge and theories. They highlight the gaps in understanding and provide opportunities for further investigation and refinement of theories.ConclusionHypotheses are a critical component of scientific research. They provide a starting point for investigation, guide research efforts, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge. By formulating and testing hypotheses, researchers can better understand the world around us and make meaningful contributions to their respective fields.。

QueerTheory,AnIntroduction(AnnamarieJagose)

Queer Theory, An IntroductionAnnamarie JagoseIndeed, as an intellectual model, queer has not been produced solely by lesbian and gay politics and theory, but rather informed by historically specific knowledges which constitute late twentieth-century western thought. Similar shifts can be seen in both feminist and post-colonial theory and practice when, for example, Denise Riley (1988) problematises feminism‟s insistence on “women” as a unified, stable and coherent category, and Henry Louis Gates (1985) d enaturalises “race.” Such conceptual shifts have had great impact within lesbian and gay scholarship and activism and are the historical context for any analysis of queer.Both the lesbian and gay movements were committed fundamentally to the notion of identity politics in assuming identity as the necessary prerequisite for effective political intervention. Queer, on the other hand, exemplifies a more mediated relation to categories of identification. Access to the post-structuralist theorisation of identity as provisional and contingent, coupled with a growing awareness of the limitations of identity categories in terms of political representation, enabled queer to emerge as a new form of personal identification and political organisation. “Identity” is pro bably one of the most naturalised cultural categories each of us inhabits: one always thinks of one‟s self as existing outside all representational frames, and as somehow marking a point of undeniable realness. In the second half of the twentieth century, however, such seemingly self-evident or logical claims to identity have been problematised radically on a number of fronts by such theorists as Louis Althusser, Sigmund Freud, Ferdinand de Saussure, Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault. Collectively, their work has made possible certain advances in social theory and the human sciences which, in the words of Stuart Hall, have effected “the final de-centring of the Cartesian subject.” Consequently, identity has been reconceptualised as a sustaining and persisten t cultural fantasy or myth. To think of identity as a “mythological” construction is not to say that categories of identity have no material effect. Rather it is to realise--as Roland Barthes does in his Mythologies (1978)--that our understanding of ourselves as coherent, unified, and self-determining subjects is an effect of those representational codes commonly used to describe the self and through which, consequently, identity comes to be understood. Barthes‟s understanding of subjectivity questions that seemingly natural or self-evident “truth” of identity which derives historically from RenèDescartes‟ notion of the self as something that is self-determining, rational and coherent.Reconsidering Karl Marx‟s emphasis on the framework of constraints or hi storical conditions which determine an individual‟s actions, Louis Althusser has argued that we do not pre-exist as free subjects: on the contrary, we are constituted as such by ideology. His central thesis is that individuals are “interpellated” or “called forth” as subjects by ideology, and that interpellation is achieved through a compelling mixture of recognition and identification. This notion is important for any thorough examination of identity politics, because it demonstrates how ideology not only positions individuals in society but also confers on them their sense of identity. In other words, it shows how one‟s identity is already constituted by ideology itself rather than simply by resistance to it.Like the Marxist structuralist approach to subjectivity, psychoanalysis makes culturally available a narrative that complicates the assumption that an identity is the natural property of any individual. Sigmund Freud‟s theorisation of the unconscious further challenges the notion that subjectivity is s table and coherent. In establishing the formative influence of important mental and psychic processes of which an individual is unaware, the theory of the unconscious has radical implications for the common-sense assumption that the subject is both whole and self-knowing. Furthermore, interpretations of Friud‟swork--particularly by the French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan-- establish subjectivity as something which must be learned, rather than as something which is always already there. Subjectivity is not an essential property of the self, but something which originates outside it. Identity, then, is an effect of identification with and against others: being ongoing, and always incomplete, it is a process rather than a property.In some influential lectures on structural linguistics which he delivered in 1906-11, Ferdinand de Saussure argues that language does not so much reflect as construct social reality. For Saussure, language is not some second-order system whose function is simply to describe what is already there. Rather, language constitutes and makes significant that which it seems only to describe. Moreover, Saussure defines language as a system of signification that precedes any individual speaker. Language is commonly misunderstood as the medium b y which we express our “authentic” selves, and our private thoughts and emotions. Saussure, however, asks us to consider that our notions of a private, personal and interior self is something constituted through language.The theories of Althusser, Freud, Lacan and Saussure provide the post-structrualist context in which queer emerges. The French historian Michel Foucault has been more explicitly engaged in denaturalising dominant understandings of sexual identity. In emphasising that sexuality is not an essentially personal attribute but an available cultural category--and that it is the effect of power rather than simply its object--Foucault‟s writings have been crucially significant for the development of lesbian and gay and, subsequently, queer activism and scholarship. To say this is not to claim that there is literally a causal connection between Foucault‟s work and queer practice and theory. Yet, as Diana Fuss observes, Foucault‟s work on sexuality resonates with “current disputes amongst gay theorists and activists over the meaning and applicability of such categories as …gay‟, …lesbian‟, and …homosexual‟ in a post-structuralist climate which renders all such assertions of identity problematic”.Foucault‟s argument that sexuality is a discursive produc tion rather than a natural condition is part of his larger contention that modern subjectivity is an effect of networks of power. Not only negative or repressive but also productive and enabling, power is “exercised from innumerable points” to no predetermined effect (Foucault, 1981). Against the popular concept that sex both exists beyond power relations and yet is repressed by them, Foucault (1979) argues that power is not primarily a repressive force:In defining the effects of power by repression, one accepts a purely juridical conception of the power; one identifies power with a law that says no; it has above all the force of an interdict. Now, I believe that this is a wholly negative, narrow and skeletal conception of power which has been curiously shared. If power was never anything but repressive, if it never did anything but say no, do you really believe that we should manage to obey it? What gives power its hold, what makes it accepted, is quite simply the fact that it does not simply weigh like a force which says no, but that it runs through, and it produces things, it induces pleasure, it forms knowledge, it produces discourse; it must be considered as a productive network which runs through the entire social body much more than as a negative instance whose function is repression.In Foucault‟s analysis, marginalised sexual identities are not simply victims of the operations of power. On the contrary, they are produced by those same operations: “For two centuries now, the discourse on sex has been multiplied rather than rarefied; and if it has carried with it taboos and prohibitions, it has also, in a more fundamental way, ensured the solidification and implantation of an entire sexual mosaic” (Foucault, 1981). This emphasis on the productive and enabling aspects of power profoundly alters the models by which traditionally it has been understood. Consequently, Foucault‟s revaluation of power has significantly affected much lesbian and gay analysis.Since he does not think that power is a fundamentally repressive force, Foucault does not endorse such liberationist strategies as breaking prohibitions and speaking out. Indeed, because the idea of modern sexual repression is widely accepted, Foucault speculates that the discursive critique of oppression, far from correctly identifying the mechanisms of power, “is …in fact part of the same historical network as the thing it denounces (and doubtless misrepresents) by calling it …repression.‟” Foucault questions the liberationist confidence that to voice previously denied and silenced lesbian and gay identities and sexualities is to defy power, and hence induce a transformative effect. As Foucault takes a resolutely anti-liberatory position on this matter he is sometimes read--perhaps unsurprisingly given the common currency of what he critiques as “the repressive hypothesis”--as advocating political defeatism.Yet Foucault also argues that “where there is power, there is resistance,” a resistance “coextensive with [power] and absolutely its contemporary” (Fouca ult, 1988). Like power, resistance is multiple and unstable; it coagulates at certain points, is dispersed across others, and circulates in discourse. “Discourse” is the heterogeneous collection of utterances that relate to a particular concept, and thereby constitute and contest its meaning--that “series of discontinuous segments whose tactical function is neither uniform nor stable.” Just as he cautions against thinking that power demarcates only hierarchical relations, so Foucault insists that discourse is not simply for or against anything, but endlessly prolific and multivalent: “we must not imagine a world of discourse divided between accepted discourse and excluded discourse, or between the dominant discourse and the dominated one; but as a multiplicity of discursive elements that can come into play in various strategies.”When describing the relation between discourses and strategies, and demonstrating how a single discourse can be used strategically for oppositional purposes, Foucault specifically instances how the category of homosexuality was formed in relation to structures of power and resistance. The rise of the homosexual as a “species” exemplifies the polyvalent capacities of discourse:There is no question that the appearance in nineteenth-century psychiatry, jurisprudence, and literature of a whole series of discourses on the species and subspecies of homosexuality, inversion, pederasty, and “psychic hermaphrodism” made possible a strong advance of social controls into this area of “perversity;” but it also made possible the formation of a “reverse” discourse: homosexuality began to speak in its own behalf, to demand that its legitimacy or “naturality” be acknowledged, often in the same vocabulary, using the same categories by which it was medically disqualified.Discourse, then, is entirely within (yet not necessarily in the service of) the mechanisms of power. Foucault‟s analysis focuses on discourse as a mode of resistance, not to contest its content but in order to particularise its strategic operations. In so far as homosexuality is one of his key examples, Foucault regards sexual identities as the discursive effects of available cultural categories. Challenging commonly held understandings of power and resistance, his work has obvious appeal for lesbian and gay--and subsequently queer--theory and practice. Although Foucault treats the “author” as a textual effect rather than a real presence, his public identity as a gay man may well have facilitated the gay studies inspired by his work..。

However, in adolescence (青春期) changes to the body’s sleep cycle make it difficult for teens to fall asleep early. Many cannot fall asleep until 10:30 p.m. or even later and most of them will feel sleepy if they have to get up too early.Scientists recommend that both middle and high schools begin no earlier than 8:30 a.m. Later school start times support the natural needs of teenagers and increase their sleeping time.Here are some other benefits of later school start times:More time for a healthy breakfastWhen running late in the mornings, students are likely to go without breakfast. With an empty stomach, one finds it difficult to focus (集中) in class. When they are always in a hurry, students may form unhealthy eating habits.With extra time before going to school, students can eat a well-balanced breakfast andfocus more on learning.Fewer behavioral (行为的) problemsTeens experience mood changes as a common result of this special period of life. Less sleep may cause worries, stress and unhappiness.When they get enough sleep, students are calm and peaceful and their moods do not change suddenly. They’re less likely to feel worried, unhappy or get angry. For parents, children with more sleep are easier to live with.Better performance (表现) in studySleep loss hurts attention, memory and brain development. Students with less sleep have difficulty paying attention in class and are likely to have lower grades. Students with enough sleep can be more energetic during the day and more willing to learn. They are also less likely to fall asleep in class and more able to understand what they learn.In conclusion, starting school later helps students get a better night’s sleep. It improves their chances of eating, behaving and performing better.1.According to the passage, what may cause teenagers to stay up?()A.Their low grades.B.Their empty stomachs.C.Their body’s sleep cycle.D.Their heavy homework.2.How can sleep loss influence students’ study?()A.It gives them much energy.B.It does harm to the brain.C.It saves more time for study.D.It improves their memory.3.What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?()A.To explain reasons for students’ stress.B.To describe bad habits caused by sleep loss.C.To discuss scientists’ research on healthy food.D.To introduce benefits of later school start times.4.In which part of the website can you probably find this passage?()A.Education.B.Fashion.C.Sports.D.Technology.(C)(2023·江苏苏州·统考中考真题)Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.1.Which are the most important of the Five Constants?()A.Ren and yi.B.Ren and li.C.Li and xin.D.Yi and zhi.2.What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?()A.博学于文,约之以礼。

它们可以帮助我们理解单词的意义,同时也能让我们更好地掌握新词汇。

今天,我们将探讨一个具有启发性的词根词缀组合——假设(hypothesis)。

1.词根词缀的含义与作用词根是单词的基本部分,代表着单词的意义。

而词缀则是用来表示词性的部分,如前缀、后缀等。

在这个例子中,假设(hypothesis)这个词的词根是“hypo”,意为“在……之下”;词缀是“thesis”,源于希腊语,表示“放置”。

结合起来,假设(hypothesis)意味着“放在下面的东西”。

2.假设(hypothesis)词根的起源与演变“Hypo”这个词根可以追溯到古希腊语,最初的意思是“低于”或“在……之下”。

随着语言的发展,这个词根进入拉丁语,并演变成了“hypothesis”。

在现代英语中,假设(hypothesis)一词通常用于表示一种推测、设想或猜想。

3.假设(hypothesis)词缀在英语词汇中的应用实例在英语中,有许多基于假设(hypothesis)词根的词汇,例如:- hypothetical:假设的,理论上的- hypothesis testing:假设检验- hypothetical situation:假设情境这些词汇均采用了假设(hypothesis)词根,并将其应用于不同场景,以表达相关意义。

4.如何在学术研究和日常生活中运用假设(hypothesis)词根词缀在学术研究中,假设(hypothesis)是一个重要的概念。

在这个过程中,假设(hypothesis)词根词缀可以帮助我们更准确地表达研究目的和结果。

hypothesis和实证的内容

hypothesis和实证的内容

hypothesis和实证的内容题目:理论和实证:解读Hypothesis和实证研究的重要性引言在社会科学研究中,理论和实证是不可或缺的两个组成部分。

理论提供了研究的基本框架,指导我们进行探索和解释现象的思考;而实证则通过收集和分析数据,验证或否定理论的假设。

本文将从理论和实证的定义、功能以及在研究中的重要性等方面一步步解读,以帮助读者更好地理解这两个重要概念。

1. 理论的定义和功能理论可被视为一种解释现象的框架或模型。

它是基于已有知识和观察所提出的一种推测或假设。

理论的目标是揭示事件、行为或社会现象背后的原因和规律。

通过理论的构建,研究者可以对特定领域进行系统性研究,为社会科学领域提供更多的见解和知识。

理论在研究中起到多个重要功能:首先,它提供了一个研究的起点,帮助研究者确定研究对象和问题;其次,理论可以给出推断或预测,指导研究者选择合适的方法和工具;最后,理论还可以促进对已有知识的发现、批判和拓展。

2. 实证的定义和功能实证研究是一种基于观察和数据收集来验证或证伪理论假设的方法。

它通过收集经验数据,通过统计分析和实证推断来检验理论的假设。

实证研究的目标是通过可观察的证据来评估理论的有效性。

实证在研究中起到多个重要功能:首先,它提供了对理论的启发和检验,通过实证研究,研究者可以得到对假设的验证或否定,以增强或推翻理论的合理性;其次,实证可以提供详实的证据,使我们对特定领域有更全面的了解;最后,实证还可以帮助研究者进行预测和决策,并提供政策制定的指导。

3. 理论和实证的相互关系理论和实证是相互依存、相互补充的关系。

理论提供了对现象的推测和解释,而实证则用数据验证或推翻理论的假设。

理论指导实证的研究,而实证反过来可以进一步发展、完善理论。

两者之间的相互作用,推动了社会科学的发展。

在进行研究时,理论和实证之间的关系是紧密联系的。

首先,研究者需基于已有的理论构建自己的研究框架和假设。

其次,通过收集和分析数据,进行实证研究来验证或反驳理论的假设。

hypothesis的词根(原创实用版)目录1.概述:本文将探讨 hypothesis 这个词的词根及其含义。

2.hypothesis 的词根:hypo-和-thesis。

3.hypo-的含义:表示“在…之下”,“次要的”。

4.-thesis 的含义:表示“观点”,“命题”。

5.hypothesis 的含义:次要的观点,假设。

6.hypothesis 在科学研究中的应用。

7.结论:hypothesis 作为科学研究的基础,其词根含义揭示了其在学术领域的重要性。

正文在英语中,hypothesis 是一个常用的词汇,特别是在科学研究和学术领域。

然而,对于这个词的词根,我们却并不熟悉。

本文将从词根的角度,解读 hypothesis 这个词的含义及其在科学研究中的应用。

首先,我们来看 hypothesis 的词根。

它由两部分组成:hypo-和-thesis。

其中,hypo-是一个表示“在…之下”的前缀,也可以表示“次要的”。

而-thesis 则是一个表示“观点”或“命题”的后缀。

因此,hypothesis 的词根含义就是“次要的观点”或“假设”。

那么,hypothesis 在具体语境中的含义又是什么呢?在科学研究中,hypothesis 通常指的是一种假设,也就是在研究开始之前,研究者对研究对象可能存在的关系或规律的猜测。

这种假设需要通过实验或观察来验证,从而确定其是否成立。

因此,hypothesis 在科学研究中的作用非常重要,它是研究的基础和出发点。

总的来说,hypothesis 作为一个科学研究中的基础词汇,其词根的含义揭示了其在学术领域的重要性。

The Blind Men and the Elephant
• Different parts of the same elephant • The elephant, provides rules for tracing by elephantkinship.
Different sortals, different rules
We identify here-now objects by ostension
• But ostensive reference by itself is ambiguous: that what? • That brick? That wall? That building of which the wall is a part?
Temporal River-Kinship
River-stage at t3
River-stage at t2
time
River-stage at t1
space
We can also think of the Caÿ ster, and its spatial parts, as having temporal parts or stages
– Endurantism: things are 3-dimensional and endure through change
– Perdurantism: things are 4-dimensional and have temporal parts. Change is a matter of having temporal parts that are different in character. • The Problem of Universals: should we commitment to abstracta? – Platonism: general terms designate abstract objects – Conceptualism: general terms designate ideas – Nominalism: general terms are, in effect, instructions for grouping within a given conceptual scheme
River-Kinship and Water-Kinship overlap
100 cubic feet of the Caÿ ster from t1 to t2
Tracing by waterkinship this is connected to your toilet
Tracing by riverkinship this is connected to the Agean
Sortals & Identity Criteria
• To disambiguate reference we introduce sortals: count nouns that convey criteria of identity.
• Count nouns vs. mass terms
Republican
Democrat Green
Same family, different political parties
Objects can be gappy
• Families and flocks of sheep are gappy • So are ordinary objects at the micro level--like Eddington’s table that’s mostly empty space
Another gappy object
Objects can overlap
• 2 families
• 3 political parties
Spatial River-Kinship
• These places are spatially river-kin • We say they’re spatial parts of the same river
What Quine is going to do
• Consider the problem of ―identity through time‖: the River Caÿster example

Note that we can, if we choose, consider some general terms, e.g. ―red‖ as designating concrete universals analogous to ordinary extended particulars
We can trace water-wise or river-wise
Stepping twice in the same what?
• Stepping in the same place at different times we step twice in the same river – but not the same water. • Stepping in the same place at different times we step twice in the different water – but the same river • But we can step twice in the same water and the same river if…
But that appeal to concrete universals is not a general solution: it fails for general terms designating shapes So we either commit to abstract universals named by abstract singular terms, e.g. ―redness‖ or tell another story about how general terms can be learnt and understood without commitment to abstracta We can tell another story—suggested by reflecting on how singular terms for extended physical objects like the Caÿ ster are introduced And should because for pragmatic purposes we don’t need these abstracta and should avoid them.
– Intuitively, thing-words vs. stuff words – Syntactically, sortals take plural and it makes sense to precede them with a number (e.g. ―one potato, two potatoes…‖) • Sortals introduce the language of identity • Identity criteria for spatio-temporal objects tell us how to ―trace‖ object through space and time: different for different sortals.
I. The River Caÿster & The Problem of Change
You can’t step twice in the same river… Or can you???
Reference to Particulars
―I contributed that to my old school!‖
• Trading same river and same water yield different results—just as tracing by family and tracing by political party do.
Water-Kinship
Tracing the same water yields a different result from tracing by river
…we run downstream!
“Hypostasizing” objects
• Sortals convey identity criteria—rules for various ways of grouping
• We learn to group objects indicated by ostension according to various spatial and temporal unity relations (―kinship‖ relations) conveyed by various sortals. – x and y bear the spatial unity relation for a sortal term, F, if x and y are spatial parts of the same F
Identity, Ostension and Hypostasis
W. v. O. Quine
Two Philosophical Problems
• The Problem of Identity-Through-Time: Endurantism (3d-ism) or Perdurantism (4d-ism)
