The interaction between order of elicitation and event controllability on the optimism bias
No full textABSTRACT -This paper studies the underlying reason behind the self-positivity bias. As events perceived to be controllable implicate self-esteem more so than less controllable ones, they are more prone to self-positivity effects. On the other hand, as less controllable events do not implicate self-esteem, only when the order-of-elicitation cues comparative (versus absolute) judgments about the self, does the self-positivity effect emerge. When information about Aself@ is asked first, the bias is attenuated, but when others' estimates are elicited prior to self-estimates, the bias re-emerges even for uncontrollable events. Implications for health marketing are offered.

ABSTRACT This paper studies the underlying reason behind the selfpositivity bias. As events perceived to be controllable implicate self-esteem more so than less controllable ones, they are more prone to self-positivity effects. On the other hand, as less controllable events do not implicate self-esteem, only when the order-ofelicitation cues comparative (versus absolute) judgments about the self, does the self-positivity effect emerge. When information about "self" is asked first, the bias is attenuated, but when others' estimates are elicited prior to self-estimates, the bias re-emerges even for uncontrollable events. Implications for health marketing are offered
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Customer-to-Customer Encounter in Service Consumption: Interpersonal-Attraction Perspective
No full textThe basic premise of this dissertation is that other customers, as part of the service environments, have direct or indirect influences on target customer\ue2s interpersonal attraction and then affect overall service experience. These effects received increasing attention in recent service marketing literature. However, most of studies dedicated their attention to the effect of other customers\ue2 behaviors; thus, an obvious limitation of existing literature is the neglect of other customers\ue2 characteristics. This research gap became the major research motivation of this dissertation. Moreover, this dissertation introduced an important but rarely discussed psychological response \ue2 target customer\ue2s interpersonal attraction.
Based on relevant literature, the author proposed a overall framework which considered the effects of other customers\ue2 behaviors, observable similarity, and physical appearance on target customer\ue2s interpersonal attraction evaluation. Moreover, the author also explored the relationship between target customer\ue2s interpersonal attraction evaluation and his/her overall satisfaction, purchase intention, and anxiety perception. Four scenario-based experiments were conducted to verify proposed hypotheses.
In Experiment 1, the effects of other customers\ue2 appropriate / inappropriate behaviors and observable similarity were examined. The results indicated significant main effects and an interaction effect. Other customers\ue2 observable similarity had an alleviating effect on interpersonal attraction. Experiment 2 tested the relationships between other customers\ue2 behaviors, physical appearance, and interpersonal attraction. Results were similar to findings of Experiment 1. Other customer\ue2s physical appearance had an alleviating effect. A supplementary survey reported that people tend to justify physically-attractive persons\ue2 inappropriate behaviors. Experiment 3 concerned about the negative effects of physical appearance on interpersonal attraction by manipulating other customers\ue2 appraisals toward target customer\ue2s product choice. The last experiment empirically verified the stabilizing effect proposed by marketing scholars. The author found that other customers\ue2 anxiety-reducing behaviors could lower target customer\ue2s perceived anxiety and produce higher interpersonal attraction. In all four experiments, target customers\ue2; interpersonal attraction had positive correlation with overall satisfaction, purchase intention, or anxiety perception. Interpersonal attraction at least partially mediated manipulated factors\ue2 effects on satisfaction.
This dissertation\ue2s last chapter provided summary of experiment findings, theoretical and managerial implications, research limitations, and future research directions
