Questions theoretical and class bases of recent demonstrations, and goals of the student movement.

Are people sensitive to the level of compatibility in everyday settings? We manipulated via scenario both a specified goal and a setting typically associated with a given goal. Settings were either typically compatible with the specified goal or not. Different participants rated either compatibility (as a direct indicator of sensitivity to manipulated compatibility) or preference for being in the setting (as an indirect indicator of sensitivity). For both measures, mean ratings were significantly greater in the high-compatibility conditions than in the low-compatibility conditions.We conclude that people are indeed sensitive to the level of compatibility in everyday settings. These findings indicate that a core concept of Attention Restoration Theory (ART), compatibility, has psychological reality in everyday settings and thus support the construct validity and external validity of the compatibility concept.

MANY WESTERNERS HAVE BEEN EXCITED BY THE CHINESE STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS BECAUSE THEIR SLOGANS ARE SO VAGUE THAT VIRTUALLY EVERYONE CAN SUPPORT THEM. THUS, PROGRESSIVES ARE EXCITED BY THE CHALLENGE TO BUREAUCRATISM AND THE DEMAND FOR POPULAR INPUT, WHILE CONSERVATIVES ARE EXCITED BY WHAT THEY SEE AS A CHALLENGE TO COMMUNISM AND MOVEMENT TOWARD CAPITALISM. FOR THE STUDENT MOVEMENT TO ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL GOALS, IT MUST MOVE BEYOND VAGUE GOALS AND SIMPLE CATEGORIZATIONS OF GOOD AND BAD INTO ACTUAL ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY, IMPERIALISM, AND THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ORDER.
