Based on data from 18,741 respondents in the 2010 and 2017 Chinese General Social Survey, this paper empirically analyzes the influence of Internet usage on gender division of labour bias by using the propensity score matching model and tests the sensitivity of the estimated results. The results show that firstly, a series of personal characteristics such as gender, age, years of education, ethnicity, political status, health status, marital status, household registration status, labour income, mother’s years of education, and family economic status will have a significant impact on whether they frequently use the Internet. Secondly, frequent internet usage can significantly reduce respondents’ agreement of gender division of labour bias, indicating that frequent internet usage can significantly improve respondents’ gender division of labour bias, and the results of Rosenbaum’s bound test and H-L confidence interval test both support the above conclusions. Thirdly, frequent internet usage can significantly reduce the recognition degree of women respondents and men respondents to gender division of labour bias, which indicates that frequent internet usage can not only strengthen women’s self-identity to a great extent but also improve men’s exclusion bias to a certain extent. Therefore, this paper puts forward some suggestions from two aspects: improving the accessibility of internet usage and guiding and controlling the content and behavior of various online media.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the effects of working memory updating training on primary school students' writing ability and performance.MethodsA total of 46 fourth-grade Chinese primary school students were recruited; their performance in the Chinese character N-back training task, the Writing Ability Questionnaire, and a time-limited writing task was assessed.ResultsThe paired-sample t-test revealed that working memory updating training significantly improved the experimental group's working memory level. After training, a repeated measures ANOVA revealed that the experimental group's performance on the Writing Ability Questionnaire improved and was higher than that of the control group. In the time-limited writing task, independent-sample t-tests revealed that the experimental group's writing fluency increased and was higher than that of the control group, while the latter's grammatical accuracy and complexity decreased and were lower than those of the former.ConclusionWorking memory updating training can be used as auxiliary cognitive training to improve primary school students' working memory level, thereby promoting their writing development.
Junior high school education has a strong influence on students’ first major decision in life, which leads to a large proportion of their investment in educational resources, so it is necessary to evaluate their comprehensive efficiency. Based on the questionnaire data of principals from 2014 school year to 2015 school year of China Education Tracking Survey, this paper uses DEA-OLS model to calculate and analyze the input-output efficiency of junior high schools, and finds that the input-output efficiency of junior high schools is low on average. Compared with computer students, the efficiency of teacher-student ratio has a significant negative impact. According to this, it is proposed that junior high schools should make their own adjustment plans in combination with teachers’ teaching quality and the amount of teachers’ resources, as well as the curriculum arrangement of students’ computer skills training and the amount of computer resources.
This study empirically analyzes the effect of internet technology usage on female employment and their wage income by constructing logit and quantile regression models to examine the moderating effect of years of education. The results show that internet technology usage significantly suppresses the likelihood of female employment and reduces their wage income before their years of education reach the target requirement but has a differential effect on the wage income of females at different levels. After females have reached their years of education target, internet technology usage significantly increases their likelihood of obtaining employment and improving their wage income. The positive effect of internet technology usage on female employment and their wage income is more obvious as the years of education increases. Therefore, this study proposes that females should be encouraged to strengthen their internet technology usage skills and improve their education level.
