Peran Keluarga Dalam Meningkatkan Motivasi Kerja di PT Pertamina EP Sangatta
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the role of family in increasing the work motivation of Pertamina Exploration and Production of Sangatta's employees which covers four dimensions, namely education, protection, affection, and economy. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach using slovin in determining the number of respondents. The results showed that the role of the family of Pertamina Exploration and Production of Sangatta's employees has been carried out well. This can be seen from the total respondent's answer score is 3,968. However, to optimize the increase in employee motivation, researchers suggest that families apply protection and economic as optimally as possible.Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis tentang peran keluarga dalam meningkatkan motivasi kerja pegawai PT Pertamina Eksplorasi dan Produksi Sangatta yang mencakup empat dimensi, yakni edukasi, proteksi, afeksi, dan ekonomi. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan slovin dalam penentuan jumlah responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran keluarga pegawai PT. Pertamina Eksplorasi dan Produksi Sangatta telah telaksana dengan baik. Hal ini terlihat dari total skor jawaban responden sebesar 3.968. Namun, untuk mengoptimalkan peningkatan motivasi kerja, peneliti menyarankan agar keluarga menerapkan peran proteksi dan peran ekonomi dengan seoptimal mungkin
Frequency attenuation in the masked priming paradigm: a large-scale online study
No full textThe research on visual word recognition of the past 20 years has rested on the well-accepted assumption that the masked priming technique (i) taps onto lexical access rather than episodic memory, since masked repetition priming effects may be elicited for words (but not for non-words); but (ii) it operates before lexical access is complete, since low-frequency and high-frequency words elicit numerically and statistically similar priming effects. Both these two pieces of information seem to be corroborated by a number of studies on the topic: from the seminal paper by Forster and Davis 1984, to more recent ones (e.g., Nievas 2010). However, a small subset of studies have actually reported a significant interaction effect between repetition priming and frequency, with the low-frequency words eliciting repetition priming effects around the double the size of the repetition priming effects elicited by high-frequency words (Bodner & Masson 2001, Kinoshita 2006, Norris & Kinoshita 2008). This literature, however, suffers from two main problems. First, all previous studies on the frequency attenuation effect base their materials on Francis & Kučera 1967’s frequency database, which has been argued to report unreliable frequency estimates, in addition to being outdated for the present times (Brysbaert & New 2009). Second, all these studies suffer from a not-negligible lack of power, as also sadly common in cognitive sciences (Brysbaert & Stevens 2019).
For this reason, we want to run a replication study testing the potential interactive effects of repetition priming and word frequency, while tackling both methodological issues just described. We first ran a first online experiment (Experiment 1) primarily to test whether a novel online stimulus presentation online program, Labvanced, is actually able to elicit the visual masked repetition priming response on a sample larger than any reported in the literature (N=299). Our results showed that masked repetition priming may be successfully elicited on the online platform Labvanced. Experiment 1 was also useful to assess the typical range of standard deviation across conditions and paired correlations in online experiments, so to run a more precise power analysis to base further follow-up experiments on. Experiment 2 was therefore designed to tackle the issue of frequency attenuation effects in the masked priming response by capitalizing on modern technologies to recruit online a sample size large enough to potentially detect even small effect sizes which would have little probability of detection otherwise

Datasets and Materials for "Hierarchy, Power, and Strategies to Promote Cooperation"
No full textThis project examined how relative power affects cooperation and strategies, such as punishment and gossip, to promote cooperation in social dilemmas. In two studies involving online real-time interactions in dyads (N = 246) and four-person groups (N = 371), we manipulated power by varying individuals’ ability to distribute resources, and measured punishment, gossip, and cooperation in a multi-round public goods game
Attention to Working Memory Contents in Aging
No full textDeficits in the use of attention to refresh representations are argued to underlie age-related decline in working memory (WM). Retro-cues guide attention to WM contents, enabling the direct assessment of refreshing in WM. This preregistered study investigated aging deficits in refreshing via retro-cues and the preservation of refreshing boosts after distraction incurred by a secondary task. The distractor task is assumed to impede refreshing by engaging attention away from the memoranda. Any free time available before or after distractor processing, however, can be used to resume refreshing thereby ameliorating distractor-related interference. Accordingly, by varying the time available to complete the distractor task, one can vary refreshing opportunities, an effect known as cognitive load. Using an individually calibrated task that controlled for WM capacity and speed of processing, we demonstrate that focusing attention on WM representations is similarly efficient in younger and older adults. However, younger adults were able to retain this retro-cue benefit despite increasing cognitive load, whereas increasing cognitive load reduced the retro-cue benefit in older adults, suggesting that they are less able to protect focused representations from distractor-interference. This shows that aging impacts specific subcomponents of refreshing, such that the benefit of focusing attention is relatively intact in older age, but older adults struggle to preserve the refreshing benefit against distraction
LEXTALE_CH: A quick, character-based proficiency test for Mandarin Chinese
No full textResearch in second language acquisition suggests that objective performance-based assessments may provide more reliable and valid measures of second language proficiency than subjective self-ratings. To measure proficiency in English as a second language, a quick, vocabulary-based test called LexTALE (Lexical Test for Advanced Learners of English) was developed and shown to be able to differentiate between various levels of English proficiency. Following in the line of adaptations of this test for other languages, we created a character-based adaptation for Mandarin Chinese: LEXTALE_CH. In this paper, we discuss the development and validation of LEXTALE_CH in detail. In short, LEXTALE_CH can discriminate between high and low levels of Mandarin proficiency and is sensitive to the significant differences in vocabulary size between native speakers and second language learners of Mandarin; further, it takes only a few minutes to administer and is simple to score, making it a practical tool for low-stakes estimation of Mandarin proficiency
