Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Causal inference for complex data: randomization inference for treatment effect heterogeneity, network outcomes, and subgroup specific effects
No full textThis dissertation presents three new methodologies for analyzing randomized controlled trials using the researcher controlled randomization mechanism as the basis for inference. The first method extends inference for the ``attributable effect'', the total of the difference of outcomes if the treatment group had instead been assigned to the control condition, to count and continuous data using a fast approximation algorithm. Alternative approaches are limited to binary data, require asymptotic approximations, or are computationally expensive. A refinement of the method to allow for including additional information is also included. The second method extends randomization inference to the study of network formation. Previous approaches either required strong parametric assumptions or only allowed for pre-treatment networks to be used. This approach develops several test statistics that can be used to test against common network formation models, based purely on the randomization of treatment. The final method improves inference in cluster randomized trials, where collections of individuals are assigned to treatment conditions simultaneously. Under the appealing assumption that larger clusters will have larger outcomes, on average, the method provides efficient, unbiased estimation of average treatment effects requiring minimal additional assumptions. All three of these methods demonstrate the relevance of randomized controlled trials to key areas of science and statistical development as well as the advantages of carefully crafting study design to fit the problem of interest. Data examples include a large scale field experiment involving health insurance, a gene-wide association study involving high dimensional outcomes, and a policy relevant study of parental social capital and student achievement in schools.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Mark Fredrickson, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-12 at 16:17.The student, Mark Fredrickson, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-07-12 at 16:23.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-07-12 at 17:54.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12855 on 2018-09-27 at 11:19:17Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:34:20Z (GMT).

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Overstating the effect of mindfulness on motivated perception: Comment on Adair and Fredrickson (2015)
No full textA recent article by Adair and Fredrickson (2015) concluded that both trait mindfulness and state mindfulness significantly predicted reduced motivated perception, and that these predictions were "strengthened" when participants who noticed the ambiguity of an image were excluded from the analyses and when mood was controlled. A comparison of the article with Adair's (2013) master's thesis, on which the article was based, reveals that Adair and Fredrickson (2015) have overstated their findings by (a) selecting without justification one of the two available methods of determining whether the ambiguity of the image was noticed, (b) inappropriately using one-tailed p-values, and (c) including in the analyses without theoretical justification a new predictor mood that resulted in a statistical suppression situation.

Integración del bienestar emocional de Bárbara Fredrickson, y prácticas de alto rendimiento
No full textTablasFigurasEl trabajo expone el contenido principal sobre las emociones positivas y prácticas de alto
rendimiento de acuerdo con la teoría de Bárbara Fredrickson. Para la autora, las emociones
positivas amplían el repertorio individual momentáneo de pensamiento-acción de los trabajadores
de la empresa Energuaviare S.A. E.S.P., donde cada una de las emociones establece relaciones con
las prácticas de alto rendimiento; al igual que para Fredrickson, el cultivo de las emociones es
fundamental para la salud y el bienestar laboral. Las emociones negativas, por su función de
supervivencia, restringen la visión sobre las que cada trabajador puede llevar a cabo en una
situación concreta. Tanto las emociones positivas y negativas tienen una función adaptativa, pero
actúan en escalas de tiempo distintas.The work exposes the main content on positive emotions and high performance practices according
to Barbara Fredrickson's theory. For the author, positive emotions expand the momentary
individual repertoire of thought-action of the workers of the company Energuaviare S.A. E.S.P.,
where each of the emotions establishes relationships with high performance practices; As for
Fredrickson, the cultivation of emotions is essential for occupational health and well-being.
Negative emotions, due to their survival function, restrict the vision of what each worker can carry
out in a specific situation. Both positive and negative emotions have an adaptive function, but act
on different time scales.Dedicatoria. – Agradecimiento. – Resumen. – Abstract. – Contenido. --Lista De Tablas. -- Lista De Figuras. -- Lista De Anexos. -- Capítulo I. -- 1.
