Relational selves, voice quality and personality impressions
No full textThis repository contains datasets from two experimental studies investigating the effects of activating different relational selves on voice characteristics and personality impressions. The research was conducted at the University of Warsaw between 2024-2025.The first study (N=95) examined differences between "Me with my teacher" and "Me with my friend" relational selves, while the second study (N=112) focused on "Me with my mother" and "Me with my friend" relational selves. In both studies, participants recorded voice messages after sequential activation of two relational selves (e.g., teacher-teacher, friend-friend, teacher-friend, friend-teacher in Study 1). Recordings were made using a Sony digital recorder (24 bit mono, 96000 Hz, WAV format) with a Shure WH20 headset microphone.The datasets include acoustic measurements analyzed using PRAAT software, capturing parameters such as speech duration, speech rate, pitch characteristics (mean, range, standard deviation), intensity measures (mean, range, standard deviation), and degree of voice breaks. For each participant, these parameters were measured after each of two sequential relational self activations. In variable names, "first measurement" and "second measurement" indicate the measurement taken after the first or second relational self-activation.Additionally, the data contains personality impressions rated by independent judges (48 raters in Study 1, 16 raters in Study 2). These ratings include assessments of Big Five personality traits using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), as well as ratings of self-esteem, intelligence, and voice attractiveness, which were measured using 1-item scales. Each voice sample was evaluated for both relational self conditions.Files included:Study 1 acoustic features.sav - Acoustic measurements from Study 1 examining teacher vs friend conditionsStudy 1 personality impressions.sav - Personality ratings from Study 1Study 2 acoustic features.sav - Acoustic measurements from Study 2 examining mother vs friend conditionsStudy 2 personality impressions.sav - Personality ratings from Study 2</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Varieties of self-multiplicity
No full textWiele współczesnych teorii postrzega Ja nie jako strukturę monolityczną, lecz wieloraką, składającą się z aspektów, podsystemów, subosobowości. Istnieją różnice indywidualne w poziomie rozproszenia i złożoności struktury Ja. Artykuł przedstawia teorie, które biorą pod uwagę pluralizm zarówno Ja przedmiotowego, jak i Ja podmiotowego. Teorie te pochodzą głównie od psychologów społecznych, psychologów osobowości i psychoterapeutów. Wymienione zostały najczęściej proponowane rodzaje podsystemów Ja. Omówiono podmiotowe i przedmiotowe mechanizmy biorące udział w podtrzymywaniu integracji tożsamości.Many contemporary theorists have proposed that the self is not unitary but multifaceted, composed of aspects, subselves, or subpersonalities. Individuals differ in the number of their subselves and their self-complexity. The paper introduces the theories which take into account the pluralism of both the self-as-known and the self-as-knower. These theories come mostly from social psychologists, personality psychologists and psychotherapists. The most commonly proposed types of self-subsystems are discussed. The paper also describes possible processes through which differentiated self-conceptualizations are organized and integrated
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
