Assertiveness, hostility direction and psychosexual state in eating disorders: A wartegg test study
No full textAssertiveness, hostility and psychosexual state were studied in 37 women: 10 anorexics, 10 bulimics and 17 controls by Wartegg projective Italian Institute Method. Evocative feature, affective and formal quality were coded on all 8 tables. ANOVAs show bulimics, vs. anorexic and control groups, dispose of few emotional and motivational resources, of a low level of future planning (Tab III, AQ: p< .05) and of an inadequate management of hostility control (Tab V, FQ: p< .05). Anorexics show difficulties on cognitive functions of truth examination (Tab VI, AQ, FQ: p< .05) and on psychosexual state (Tav II, FQ: p< .05)
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
Hostility direction in eating disorders: a wartegg test study
No full textAssertiveness and direction of hostility have been studied in eating disorder patients with conflicting results: some studies did not show significant differences between anorexics and bulimics, while others found outward directed hostility in anorexic patients. Because of the interference of aggressiveness with therapeutic programs and of the influence of inward and outward hostility on psychopathological development, we studied hostility direction in anorexic and bulimic patients. We assessed 10 anorexic (age m:22; sd:6) and 10 bulimic (age m:28; sd:7) women by the wartegg projective method. Clinical groups were compared with a control group of 18 healthy subjects (age m:25; sd:6). ANOVA showed a significant difference between the control group and clinical groups on formal quality (p<0.05) of table V, and on affective quality (p<0.05), and formal quality (p<0.05) of table VI. Post Hoc analyses showed for table III (affective quality) a lower score of the bulimic group vs. the anorexic group (p<0.05) and the control group (p=0.07). For table V on formal quality, bulimic group had a lower score than the control group (p<0.01) and the bulimic group (p<0.05 and p=0.08). It seems that bulimic patients and few emotional and motivational resources, a lower level of future planning and a less adequate management of hostility control
Impulsivity in eating disorders: analysed through Wartegg test
No full textPsychological and psychopathological characteristics in eating disorders (ED) were analyzed by Wartegg projective test on one-hundred ED female patients. Thirty-five patients diagnosed with Anorexia of restricting-type (ANrt), twenty-two patients diagnosed with Anorexia of purgingtype (ANpt) and forthy-three patients with Bulimia diagnosis (BL) (DSM-IV criteria and EDES questionnaire) were compared with eighty-one control subjects (CN). Wartegg test results, by a quantitative scoring system, show significant differences between ED patients and CN on depression, impulsivity, reality testing and aggressiveness. ANrt present anxiety, perfectionism and impulsivity; ANpt show lower formal quality than other qroups, and BL show depression and low self-realization. Wartegg projective test shows a significant unconscious or disguised impulsivity in restricting anorexic patients
