The Effects of Stress on Dating Relationships
No full textProgram year: 1996/1997Digitized from print original stored in HDRThis study examined how adult attachment styles moderate the effect that stress has on dating relationships. One hundred twenty-three dating couples were videotaped for 7 minutes while they discussed either a major or a minor problem in their relationship. Results revealed that persons who scored higher on the anxious attachment index and who discussed a major (more stress-inducing) problem experienced decreases in perceived satisfaction and commitment in their relationship following the discussion. Findings are discussed in the context of theory and research on attachment
The Importance of Individuals' Orientation to Sexual Relations in Initiating Dating Relationships
No full textProgram year: 1996/1997Digitized from print original stored in HDRThe present study was a laboratory investigation designed to explore individual differences in patterns of initial partner selection. The experimental hypothesis has been that an individual's orientation to sexual relations will significantly influence the characteristics considered most important in a potential dating partner. Specifically, individuals with an "unrestricted" orientation whose sexual behavior involves many short-term, casual relationships will choose a partner who is highly attractive, but who has a history of short-term, superficial relationships. Conversely, those individuals with a ���restricted��� orientation whose sexual behavior is limited to a few long-term, intimate relations will choose a partner who is somewhat less attractive, but who has a history of intimate relationships
Aggression, self-esteem, and perceived threat for university undergraduate research fellows
Full text linkDue to the character of the original source materials and the nature of batch digitization, quality control issues may be present in this document. Please report any quality issues you encounter to [email protected], referencing the URI of the item. Digitized from print original stored in HDR.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 22-27).Program year: 2000/2001Based on a study by Bushman and Baumeister (1998), we hypothesized that high global self-esteem and high collective self-esteem should be predictive of greater aggressive. We also hypothesized that participants with high narcissistic tendencies should be more likely to aggress than those with less narcissistic tendencies or lower self-esteem. Finally, we believe that men (in general) should more likely aggress in response to a perceived threat (a personal insult) than women in the same situation. In the present study, participants wrote an essay and then received a manipulated evaluation (either positive or negative) of the essay supposedly from another participant. They were later given the chance to aggress against their evaluator. Global self-esteem, collective self-esteem, and narcissism did not predict aggression. However, males were more likely to be aggressive than females, particularly in the negative evaluation condition
Accuracy in Interpersonal Perception
No full textProgram year: 1989/1990Digitized from print original stored in HDRThe extent to which gender and self-monitoring correlated with the ability to detect deceit in interpersonal interactions was examined. 20 men and women were videotaped while describing someone they liked and someone they disliked, both honestly and deceptively. Sixty-one different subjects (26 males and 35 females) were then shown the videotapes and asked to make dichotomous judgments of the 40 senders' truth versus deception. Gender and self-monitoring were not significantly correlated with the ability to detect deception. However, the means of the judgemnts were in the expected direction. Methodological considerations and suggestions for future research are discussed
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
