This study investigated the relationship between psychological capital and good feeling among the women teachers. To this end, this study used a descriptive – correlation approach carried on female teachers of Ardabil city in Iran. From this population, 80 women selected with multi-stage cluster sampling method and psychological capacity and sense of humor questionnaires carried on them. Data analyzed with Pearson correlation and multiple regression techniques. Results indicated that optimism, resilience and confidence have a significant relationship with a sense of humor, but the relationship between sense of humor and hope, was negligible. Another result was that resilience had a considerable positive relationship with all four factors of humor sense. Optimism related to humor and humor creation and confidence was associated only with humor creation. The hope, had not a great relationship with each of the four factors humor. Considering the relationship between psychological capacity and sense of humor, if the organization's managers focus on both increasing psychological capacity and a sense of humor in staff, its impact on work results will be considerably larger than when the focus is only on one of these two variables

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
Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Shyness
No full textAbstractStudies of etiology, view the shyness as multifactorial and as interaction of physical, social, and psychological result. Indicate the role of emotions, including emotional intelligence in shyness, is one of the goals of the researchers. This research method was descriptive- correlation, that has been implemented in male and female students in Zanjan city. From this population, 293 students (148 girls, 1145 boys) was chosen with a multi-stage cluster sampling method and to collect information, Bradbury & Gidyouz's emotional intelligence questionnaires and Cheek and Buss's shyness questionnaire were used. Data analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression techniques. Results showed that all components of emotional intelligence have a significant negative correlation with shyness. Regression analysis also showed that the shyness's prediction model from emotional intelligence is significant and the share of self-awareness, self management and relationship management is significant in predicting shyness. The results implicitly stressed on importance of self-awareness, self management and relationship management reinforcement in shy people
Compare Happiness, Psychological Tenacity, and Sensation Seeking among Athletes and no Athletes
No full textAbstractFind the personality profile of athletes is one of the most important topics of research in psychological studies in the field of sports. This study compared the expression of happiness, psychological hardiness, and sensation seeking among both athletes and no athletes in men and women that were living in the Sanandaj and Ardabil city. Therefore, 200 athletes (100 women, 100 men) and 80 no athletes (40 females, 40 males) were selected using random sampling and were studied with causal- comparison method. Required information was collected using the Oxford happiness questionnaire, psychological hardiness scale, and Arnett's sensation seeking scale, and were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Results showed that levels of happiness, athletics psychological hardiness, and sensation seeking were more than non-athletes. According to the results of this study can be said exercise, increasing hardiness and happiness and satisfy excitement
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
