No full text“Assessing Parental Emotion Socialization and Child Adjustment Across Countries”
No full textThis study focuses on the validation of the Emotion as a Child Scale (EACS; Magai, 1996) to examine parental emotion socialization and its association with children’s adjustment.
This study involved a sample of parents of 100 Colombian (Mage = 11.16, SD = 3.60; 52% girls) and 400 Italian (Mage = 13.33, SD = 3.76; 49% girls) children. After having consented, parents were invited to fill in a set of questionnaires online anonymously. Measures were administered in Italian and Spanish. Parents completed the EACS (Magai, 1996; Klimes- Dougan et al., 2007), referred to the parental responses to the expression of their children’s sadness and anger, the CBCL (Achenbach, 1991) to examine their children’s internalizing and externalizing problems, and school performance, the Prosocial Behavior Scale (Caprara & Pastorelli, 1993), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004).
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed in both samples the existence of two factors, namely supportive socialization strategies (including reward and override-related items) and unsupportive socialization strategies (including punish, neglect, and magnify related items. Moreover, via multi-group path analysis, it emerged that in both countries the supportive socialization strategies were positively associated with children’s adjustment (i.e., high children’s school performance, prosocial behavior, and adaptive emotion regulation), whereas the unsupportive socialization strategies were positively associated with children’s maladjustment (i.e., high internalizing and externalizing problems)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
"Promoting socio-emotional learning with a virtual robot facilitator of small group discussions: a cross-cultural study"
No full textIn this contribution, we present continued work-in-progress on an innovative system for facilitating small-group online discussions using an avatar during a video conference. Previous studies have shown that the system had an effective, understandable, and more participatory interaction that is sustained during a long-term interaction. Here, we examine long-term, cross-cultural effects on socio-emotional learning (SEL) for 5th and 6th graders in Israel and 3rd,4th, 5th graders in Italy. Eight elaborate activities were designed specifically for this setup to promote SEL in an engaging and collaborative way. Pre- and post-questionnaires regarding SEL were administered to the students, as well as semi-structured interviews. The results of the study show mixed trends, where in the Israel sample students reported a (non-significant) beneficial effect of the activities on their mindset and behavior, while in the Italian sample a different (non-significant) trend was observed. Qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews after the activities show that children had a noticeable change in their perception of SEL as well as their behaviors. Despite these mixed results, this work-in-progress continues to support the usage of the virtual robot facilitator of small group activities as an effective teaching assistant for school children, even in soft-skills such as socio-emotional learning domains
