Emotional expression and physiology in European Americans and Hmong Americans.

Ethnographic and clinical observations suggest that Asians are less expressive than European Americans. To examine whether this difference emerged in online emotional responding, 50 Hmong Americans (HAs) and 48 European Americans (EAs) were asked to relive past episodes of intense happiness, pride, love, anger, disgust, and sadness. Facial behavior and physiological reactivity were measured. For most emotions, more cultural similarities than differences were found. There were some exceptions: During happiness, fewer HAs than EAs showed non-Duchenne smiles (i.e., "social" smiles), despite similarities in reported emotional experience and physiological reactivity. Within-group differences between "less Hmong" and "more Hmong" HAs were also found. Implications of these findings for our understanding of culture-emotion relations are discussed.

蜡染冰纹的计算机仿真研究

针对制作数字化蜡染图案过程中冰纹仿真较难的问题,通过分析手工蜡染在不同条件下形成的冰纹特征,提出一种改进的、简洁高效的基于距离变换算法对冰纹进行模拟的方法。首先由距离变换结果确定冰纹的起始位置,然后根据距离变换结果的梯度方向确定冰纹的传播方向,同时考虑了新旧冰纹以及冰纹交叉处的不同粗细情况,并采用了乘积颜色模型法来模拟冰纹的染色情况。实验结果表明,采用距离变换算法可以模拟出较为逼真的冰纹效果,能通过修改参数绘制出不同冰纹形态的蜡染图案。

多角度下蜡染布料的多光谱成像研究

在400~720 nm波段范围,采用基于液晶可调谐滤波器(LCTF)和CMOS相机组合的多光谱成像系统对蜡染的布料进行每隔5 nm成像。讨论了多光谱成像的基本原理和多角度下彩色图像的实现过程,并且通过计算光谱反射率展示了光谱合成颜色的基本方法。对再现后的橘色、绿色、白色、蓝色、黄色、黑色六种颜色色块进行多角度下明度值、彩度值的分析。实验结果表明,六种颜色的明度值均呈现正态分布,并且通过计算六种颜色色块的色品坐标值a~*、b~*和彩度c_(ab)~*的均方差,得出在一定的范围内,六种颜色的色品坐标a~*、b~*近似不随角度变化,其中蓝色和黑色随角度的变化更小,近似于一条直线。     

贵州省织金县歪梳苗蜡染的文化探究

贵州省织金县歪梳苗蜡染是兼具实用与文化双重功能的服饰品。基于对当地多个代表性村寨的实地调研,从歪梳苗男子、女子服饰特征入手,阐述蜡染在歪梳苗民族文化中的地位,系统分析其主题纹饰、构图布局、色彩方面的艺术特征,总结归纳了蜡染图案浪花纹、方形、鸟纹、龙头鱼、石榴花、圈圈花凝聚的歪梳苗丰富的历史、文化习俗、宗教信仰等方面的意涵。服饰上精美的蜡染纹样体现着其艺术审美价值和歪梳苗妇女的艺术创作才能,也记录着歪梳苗的祖先、承载着他们的崇拜与信仰。     

Maternal scaffolding of children's problem solving and children's adjustment in kindergarten: Hmong families in the United States.

The study examined relations between maternal scaffolding of children's problem solving and children's adjustment in kindergarten in Hmong families living in the United States. Mothers and their children (63 dyads) were visited the summer before kindergarten. Mothers' years in the United States, age, education, reasoning skills, and parenting beliefs were assessed. Maternal scaffolding (cognitive support, directiveness of instruction, praise, and criticism) was coded while mothers helped their children with school-like tasks. Children's reasoning skills, conscientiousness, autonomous behavior, and task persistence in kindergarten were reported by teachers at the end of kindergarten (54 children). Maternal cognitive support of children's problem solving predicted children's reasoning skills in kindergarten even after controlling for maternal education and reasoning skills. Maternal directive instruction positively predicted children's conscientious behavior and negatively predicted children's autonomous behaviors after controlling for maternal education and parenting beliefs.
