Relationship between the External Locus of Control, Self-esteem and Need for Drama
No full textEksternalni lokus kontrole, potreba za dramatiziranjem i samopoštovanje su konstrukti koji su dio, kako našeg karaktera, tako i karaktera pojedinaca u našoj neposrednoj okolini. Pojedinci koji su skloniji pripisivanju događaja koji su im se zbili sreći, slučajnosti, sudbini ili kontroli nekih značajnih drugih (Rotter, 1966) imaju eksternalni (vanjski) lokus kontrole. U tom slučaju, kada osoba percipira da ne može utjecati na ishode i situacije s kojima se suočava, ona pokazuje tendenciju iskazivanja niže razine samopoštovanja. Samopoštovanje se definira kao pozitivan ili negativan stav prema samome sebi te podrazumijeva procjenu kojom pojedinac izražava stupanj uvjerenja u vlastitu sposobnost, važnost ili uspješnost (Stiplošek, 2002). Eksternalni lokus kontrole, koji podrazumijeva odsutnost osjećaja kontrole nad vlastitim životom i nisko samopoštovanje mogu biti ključni za razumijevanje zašto su neki pojedinci skloniji dramatiziranju. Potreba za dramatiziranjem se smatra složenom osobinom ličnosti u kojoj pojedinci percipiraju sebe kao žrtve te su skloni okrivljavanju drugih za situacije koje im se događaju (Frankowski i sur., 2016). Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos eksternalnog lokusa kontrole i samopoštovanja sa sklonošću dramatiziranju kod muškaraca i žena rane odrasle i srednje odrasle dobi. U ovom online istraživanju je sudjelovalo 76 sudionika i 205 sudionica u rasponu dobi od 18 do 65 godina u RH, a korištene su: Rosenbergova skala samopoštovanja, Skala eksternalnosti i Skala potrebe za dramom. Rezultatima nije dobivena statistički značajna razlika u sklonosti dramatiziranju, eksternalnosti i samopoštovanju između muškaraca i žena. Međutim, utvrđeno je kako je sklonost dramatiziranju praćena nižim samopoštovanjem i eksternalnijim lokusom kontrole, a eksternalniji lokus kontrole prati niže samopoštovanje. Također, s povećanjem dobi raste i razina samopoštovanja. Međutim, nije utvrđena statistički značajna povezanost između dobi i sklonosti dramatiziranju, kao ni između dobi i eksternalnosti lokusa kontrole. Također, veća sklonost dramatiziranju predviđena je eksternalnijim lokusom kontrole i nižim samopoštovanjem. Istraživanje donosi dublji uvid o navedenim konstruktima te pruža moguća objašnjenja za dobivene rezultate na ovom uzorku sudionika.External locus of control, the need to dramatize and self-esteem are constructs that are part of both our character and the character of individuals in our immediate environment. Individuals who are more inclined to attribute the events that happened to them to luck, chance, fate or the control of some significant others (Rotter, 1966) have an external locus of control. In this case, when a person perceives that he cannot influence the outcomes and situations he faces, he tends to show a lower level of self-esteem. Positive or negative selfperception is known as self-esteem. and implies an assessment by which an individual expresses the degree of belief in his own ability, importance or success (Stiplošek, 2002). External locus of control, which implies the absence of a sense of control over one's own life and low self-esteem may be key to understanding why some individuals are more inclined to dramatize. The need for drama is considered a complex personality trait in which individuals perceive themselves as victims and tend to blame others for situations that happen to them (Frankowski et al., 2016). The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between external locus of control and self-esteem with need for frama in men and women in early and middle adulthood. Research includes 76 male and 205 female participants in the age range from 18 to 65 in the Republic of Croatia. The scales that were used are: Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, Externality Scale and Need for Drama Scale. The results showed no statistically significant difference in need for drama, externality and self-esteem between men and women. However, it was found that the need for is accompanied by lower self-esteem and a more external locus of control, and a more external locus of control is accompanied by lower self-esteem. Also, with increasing age, the level of self-esteem also increases. However, no statistically significant correlation was found between age and need for drama, nor between age and externality of locus of control. Also, a greater need for drama is predicted by a more external locus of control and lower self-esteem. The research provides a deeper insight into the mentioned constructs and provides possible explanations for the results obtained with this sample of participants

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
