Report on Meteorological Research March 1, 1935 (m-1)
No full textThe object of the report was to elucidate in detail the various features of the research program in meteorology being carried on at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio. Mr. L. J. Fangman, of the U.S. Weather Bureau, was collaborating with the author in carrying out work such as a study of autographic records of the various meteorological elements during frontal passages with a view to the possible prediction of the intensity of the accompanying disturbance as it may affect the operation of aircraft and a study of atmospheric gustiness with a view to finding the dependence between frequency end amplitude of velocity fluctuations and the vertical temperature and velocity gradients
(Fourth) Report on Meteorological Activities at the DGAI (8-1-36)(Weather Bureau Copy)
No full textThis report is on the investigations of frontal phenomena at the Daniel Guggenheim Airship Institute in Akron, Ohio from January 1, 1935 through August 1, 1936. The investigation was carried out with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Aeronautics, the U.S. Weather Bureau, the California Institute of Technology, and the Guggenheim Airship Institute. Mr. R.C. Robinson of the Weather Bureau cooperated with the author in carrying out the investigation. The object of the investigation was to determine the intensity of the atmospheric disturbances (i.e. rapidity of wind shift and gustiness) accompanying the passage of cold fronts, along with a study of the characteristics of the air masses involved and other features which might affect the intensity of the disturbance. The report treated thirty cold fronts which passed the station during 1935 to 1936

No full textThe Assessment of Social Beliefs and Self Identity Ambiguous Social Situations and the Self
No full textThis study uses conceptually implicit quantitative measures to explore individual schematic perceptions of self. The aim of this research was to develop a novel “implicit” measure of identity, that is, a measure that does not explicitly ask people about quality being assessed and also compares responses times within and between participants designated sociodemographic group. This study is exploratory in nature and is motivated by the need to better understand individuals’ perceptions of self-identity across multiple ambiguous social situations. Building off of past theoretical work done by Robert Sellers (Sellers et al. 1997). We aim to use the foundational concepts of the Multidimensional Model of Black Identity (MMBI), an explicit self report measure used to asses ones own attitudes towards their race to create a theoretical alternative for assessing individuals’ sense of their own perceived social identity. The deviation between pre-existing theoretical work and what is being proposed is the introduction of the theoretical principles of the social cognitive theory of personality, specifically the knowledge and appraisal model of personality by Cervone (Cervone, 2004) . Cervone states "personality structures and processes are delineated by 2 principles: distinctions (a) between knowledge structures and appraisal processes and (b) intentional cognitions with varying directions of fit, with the latter distinction differentiating among beliefs, evaluative standards, and aims. Basic principles of knowledge activation and use illuminate relations between knowledge and appraisal, yielding a synthetic account of personality structures and processes". We believe it is possible to create measures that asses synthetic accounts of self

Predicting Personality Coherence across Personality Trait Categories: An Idiographic Analysis of Self-Knowledge and Situational Construals
No full textOur proposed research seeks to fill a gap in the contemporary personality science literature. It is best understood by reference to two recent advances: the recognition that (1) a multiplicity of underlying psychological processes contributes to any given dispositional tendency (Wood, Gardner, & Harms, 2015, Psy. Rev.), with explanation of such tendencies thus requiring reference to a system of underlying causal mechanisms (Baumert et al., EJP; Cervone, 1997, Psy. Sci.), and that (2) intra-individual patterns of personality expression may vary from inter-individual patterns observed in the population (Borsboom, Mellenberg, and van Heerden, 2003, Psy. Rev.); personality dynamics, in other words, may not be ergodic (Fisher, Medaglia, & Jeronimus, 2018, PNAS).
We pursue this goal by employing the conceptual and methodological tools of the KAPA model of personality architecture (Cervone, 2004, Psy. Rev.). Novel idiographically-tailored research methods were developed for use in two studies designed to address the gaps in the literature described above. In these methods, we identify positively- and negatively-valenced beliefs about the self (i.e., self-schemas) through open-ended narrative methods in which participants describe their personal strengths and weaknesses. We identify situational contexts that activate these knowledge structures through a categorization task designed to identify circumstances that, according to the situational construals of each participant, are linked to their previously-identified positive and negative personal attributes. In combination, the procedures employed yield idiographic person-in-context “maps.” Our central expected result is that people will report consistent action tendencies across contexts that they map to their self-schemas, irrespective of whether these mappings, at the level of the individual case, correspond to the structure of nomothetic trait categories.
As of 4/15/2019, we have run and analyzed data only for Study 1. Study 2 and any subsequent analyses have yet to be fully analyzed

No full textabstract: Daniel was a little boy when the war came to his village. He witnessed people being shot and running for shelter. There was no food or water so he drank urine and ate tree leaves.
“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

The contribution of self-efficacy beliefs to psychosocial outcomes in adolescence: predicting beyond global dispositional tendencies
No full textThe ability of self-efficacy beliefs to predict psychosocial outcomes was examined among a group of 489 Italian young adolescents, and with respect to three indicators of adjustment: peer preference, academic achievement, and problem behavior. In a longitudinal design, self-efficacy beliefs were used to predict psychosocial outcomes measured two years later. Analyses evaluated the ability of self-efficacy measures to predict outcomes after controlling for the predictive effects of self-reports of the "big five" global dispositional variables. Self-efficacy beliefs proved to predict psychosocial outcomes even after controlling for self-reported global personality dispositions. Adolescents' perceptions of self-efficacy for regulating their actions in accord with personal norms when they are faced with peer pressure for engaging in antisocial conduct were particularly influential, predicting psychosocial outcomes across all three domains.
