The importance of both phases is widely acknowledged as part of the meaning making process but many practical studies focus on the first rather than the second. In particular this study looks at two groups of images about gender relations in Saudi Arabia following the post-2017 reforms of the male guardianship laws. One group are mostly made up of photographs and the second group of cartoons and posters. One important finding is that the latter tend to be less ambiguous in their semiotic structure than the former. In particular, there are instances in the first group where a standard study of intersemiosis indicates low modality but the image may be seen as inherently plausible by many observers. This suggests that while resemiosis can be applied to a single image it may be more appropriate as a tool when applied to an overall news article or set of images. In the same way that not all individual semiotic modes are complementary in how they build meaning, then it is possible for different images to be supportive, contradictory or unclear when studied in isolation.展开更多

文摘目的研究潜艇艇员群体认同意义建构的基本特征。方法采用自编＂群体认同叙事故事问卷＂对168名潜艇艇员的群体认同意义建构状况进行调查研究。结果（1）总体上看：潜艇艇员对群体认同的意义建构水平在＂教训＂之上（M＝1.13, SD＝0.97）。初中文化和军医、机电部门艇员的意义建构水平显著低。（2）能引发艇员高水平群体认同意义建构的事件特征为：入伍第3、第4年发生的事；工作中的意外或人为差错、与学习和工作相关的成就事件、心理需求和家庭事件；消极事件（t＝－3.18, P〈0.01）、事件中有他人反应（t＝2.33, P〈0.05）、他人反应与自己不一致（t＝－2.85, P〈0.01）；事件引发消极情绪数量多（r＝0.153, P〈0.01）、强度大（r＝0.093, P〈0.05）；事件引发了＂悲喜交加＂的复杂情绪（P〈0.01）。（3）当将发生的关键事件告诉他人时（t＝4.01, P〈0.001）、他人对事件的反应与自己反应不一致时（t＝2.25, P 〈0.05）、告诉他人的动机是为了＂发泄情绪＂（t＝2.77, P 〈0.05）或＂寻求帮助＂（t＝2.98, P 〈0.05）时、自己的做法与过去不同时（t＝－3.05, P〈0.05），艇员群体认同的意义建构水平显著高。结论潜艇艇员的群体认同在关键事件上表现出明显的特征，这提示对艇员经历的关键事件进行特征分析和干预是有效提升艇员群体认同的途径。
