An evaluative message fosters mathematics performance in male students but decreases intrinsic motivation in female students
Full text linkThis study contrasted the effects of two task messages, evaluative or non-evaluative, on mathematics performance, affect, and intrinsic task motivation. One hundred-twenty secondary-school students aged 17–21 years were delivered one of the two messages, or assigned to a control condition, before completing a mathematics task, measures of message appraisals (challenge and threat), affect (pleasantness, arousal, dominance), and a behavioural indication of intrinsic task motivation. The evaluative message raised performance only in males, while for females both messages decreased intrinsic motivation for the task, probably due to stereotype threat. Implications for future research and educational practices are discussed.HIGHLIGHTS In a low-value context, an evaluative message favoured male mathematics performance Males increased arousal after an evaluative message A challenge appraisal was linked with male performance Females decreased intrinsic motivation after evaluative and non-evaluative messages
Personalità, strategie di regolazione delle emozioni ed emozioni all’università: Uno studio in Italia e nel Regno Unito
No full textIntroduzione
Nei contesti di apprendimento si possono provare molte emozioni. Approcci come la teoria del controllo-valore delle emozioni di riuscita descrivono alcuni fattori che possono influenzarle, quali la personalità (Pekrun et al., 2023) e le strategie di regolazione delle emozioni (SRE; Harley et al., 2019). È, inoltre, noto che la personalità influisce sulle SRE (Hughes et al., 2020). Tuttavia, tali relazioni sono state indagate spesso separatamente (con alcune eccezioni; Sorić et al., 2013) e raramente in ambito universitario. Questo lavoro ha l’obiettivo di studiare la relazione tra personalità, SRE ed emozioni provate verso lo studio universitario.
Metodo
Sono stati/e coinvolti/e 831 studenti/esse universitari/e in Italia (n = 564; Metà = 22.78, DS = 5.42; 86% F) e nel Regno Unito (n = 267; Metà = 21.08, DS = 4.47; 76% F). Con una survey online abbiamo valutato: 5 tratti di personalità (Big Five Inventory-2; Soto & John, 2017), 4 SRE (Cognitive/Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire; Garnefski & Kraaij, 2007; Kraaij & Garnefski, 2019) e 10 emozioni di riuscita (gioia, orgoglio, speranza, calma, sollievo, rabbia, vergogna, ansia, noia, sconforto) associate allo studio universitario (Achievement Emotions Adjective List; Raccanello et al., 2022).
Risultati
Due path analysis (software R; SRMR = 0.0120/0.009, RMSEA = 0.031/0.031, CFI = 0.998/0.998, TLI = 0.975/0.970) hanno indicato che Estroversione, Amicalità, Coscienziosità e Apertura mentale erano associate positivamente con le SRE adattive (Reappraisal positivo, Approccio attivo) e negativamente con le SRE disadattive (Catastrofizzazione, Ritiro), e viceversa per il Nevroticismo (con alcune eccezioni). A loro volta, nella maggior parte dei casi, le SRE adattive hanno mostrato relazioni positive con le emozioni positive e negative con le emozioni negative, e viceversa per le SRE disadattive. Sorprendentemente, il Ritiro è risultato legato positivamente con le emozioni positive e negativamente con la noia.
Discussione
Nonostante alcuni limiti (dati trasversali, self-report), questo studio ha dimostrato come la personalità influenzi le SRE e come queste ultime si associno a molteplici emozioni di riuscita in relazione allo studio universitario. Inoltre, in linea con lavori precedenti (Closson et al., 2022), ha mostrato come il Ritiro, entro certi margini, possa portare a esiti adattivi. Tali risultati possono essere utili alla definizione di interventi futuri per supportare il benessere degli/lle studenti/esse universitari/e
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
