Improving Unmatched Co-Op Students' Emotional Wellbeing: Test of Two Brief Interventions.

Previous research suggests that going unmatched in the competitive co-op job search process might have an emotional cost. This study examined the feasibility and efficacy of interventions for improving unmatched co-op students’ emotional wellbeing. Participants (n = 74) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a positive psychology based writing task, a toolkit with materials and information about coping with stress, or a control condition. They completed a measure of emotional wellbeing before and after the intervention period (one week long). Controlling for pre-intervention emotional wellbeing, statistically significant gains in emotional wellbeing were reported only by those in the writing task condition. Administering positive interventions such as instructions to focus on “good things” may be particularly feasible and effective in the co-op context. Implications for co-op practitioners and future research are presented.
Appointments and Attrition: Time and Executive Disadvantage in the Appointments Process

While the importance of political appointments is a matter of consensus, theorists and empiricists generally focus on different considerations, such as ideology and confirmation duration respectively. More recently, there have been efforts to integrate empirical and theoretical scholarship but, to date, no empirical analysis assesses theoretical expectations about the relationship between temporal concerns and nominee ideologies. We fill this gap by examining theoretical predictions and related expectations about how the passage of time affects the President’s choices of nominees. We find executives are disadvantaged as days pass and Presidents propose nominees with whom they are less ideologically compatible over time.

A Complex Adaptive Systems Approach to Real-Life Team Interaction Patterns, Task Context, Information Sharing, and Effectiveness

Interaction dynamics are considered to be key characteristics of complex adaptive systems (CAS). Taking a CAS approach, this study examines how three team interaction patterns affect team effectiveness. Specifically, we analyze recurring, heterogeneous, and participative patterns of team interaction in routine and nonroutine team-task contexts. Fine-grained coding of video-based footage plus nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) statistics are used to identify the interaction patterns in a sample of 96 real-life teams, comprising 1,395 team members. We establish that recurring patterns of team interaction reduce perceived team information sharing and, in turn, team effectiveness and that these harmful effects are more pronounced in teams doing nonroutine work than in those engaged in routine work. Participative team interaction was found to be positively related to a high level of perceived team information sharing and effectiveness. Heterogeneous team interaction was not associated with perceived team information sharing and effectiveness. Post hoc analyses, in which the behavioral content of the interaction patterns of the 15 most effective and least effective teams is compared, revealed primarily task-directed patterns in the most effective teams. We offer practical recommendations for team development and call for more CAS research on the communicative behaviors within teams of knowledge workers.
Our Separate Struggles are Really One: Building Political Race Coalitions for Educational Justice

ABSTRACT In this article, we explore political race theory as a framework for building coalitions between Black and Brown communities as part of a shared struggle for educational justice and community power amid neoliberal reform. Inspired by the Black and Brown alliances for economic justice of the 1960s and 1970s and informed by previous scholarship on the conceptualization of political race and the lived experience of being raced in America and its relationship to power, we draw from the experiential knowledge of African American and Mexican American superintendents to better understand how they interpreted and navigated the politics of race as school district leaders in their advocacy for students raced black or brown. We then discuss how political race, and the racialization of power in schools requires more theorizing in education leadership research and provide examples of how the field can deepen future analyses by recasting educational inequality as a political problem rather than instructional or cultural and valuing the experiential knowledge of those who have been raced.
Impact of employees’ job, organizational and technology fit on engagement and organizational citizenship behavior

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of three person-environment (PE) fit dimensions (i.e. person-job, person-organizational and person-technology [PT] fit) on employees’ engagement and service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) dimensions (i.e. loyalty, service delivery and participation). ,Both online and on-site surveys were used to collect data from customer-contact employees working at a resort-style hotel in the USA. A total of 290 complete responses were collected, and the results were analyzed using a confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. ,The results revealed that the three PE fit dimensions positively influenced employee engagement. The results also showed that the three PE fit dimensions had significant indirect effects on the three OCB dimensions via engagement, except for the relationship between PT fit and participation. PT fit only had a significant direct effect on participation. ,This study contributes to the current PE fit, engagement and OCB literature by adding PT fit and testing the effects of the three PE fit dimensions on service-oriented OCB via engagement. This study recommends that hospitality companies develop strategies and tactics to improve their employees’ PE fit and engagement because they are the key determinants of service-oriented OCB. ,本论文旨在检验三种人-环境（PE）合适度维度（即人-工作 人-组织 人-科技）对员工参与和以服务为本的组织公民行为（OCB）维度（如忠诚度 服务传递 和参与）的影响。 ,研究采样通过线上和线下问卷, 样本包括与顾客接触的在美国度假村式酒店工作的员工。 样本数量为290份。 研究分析方法包括验证性分子分析和结构方程模型。 ,研究结果表明三种 PE 合适度维度对员工参与有积极影响。 研究结果还表明三种PE合适度维度通过员工参与变量对三种 OCB 的维度有显著影响, 除了 PT 与参与之间的关系外。 PT 合适度只对参与有显著直接影响。 ,本论文对目前有关PE合适度 员工参与 和OCB文献有着显著贡献, 其增添了PT合适度, 还检验了三种PE合适度维度对服务为本OCB通过员工参与变量的间接影响。 本论文推荐酒店业相关企业应该制定政策和方针来提高员工PE合适度, 因为 PE 合适度是服务为本OCB变量的关键维度。 ,关键词：人-环境合适度 人-工作合适度, 人-组织合适度 人-科技合适度 员工参与 以服务为本的组织公民行为（OCB）,研究论文
Using a mobile gaming app to enhance accounting education

ABSTRACT The authors describe the first mobile gaming app for learning accounting, Accounting Challenge (ACE). On September 30, 2016, ACE had been downloaded 23,230 times, spanning 90 countries, and had won three international teaching awards. The app was motivated by the aim to empower students to learn accounting in a fun way, outside of the classroom. ACE combines mobile learning and game-based learning to generate interest and motivation for the digital-native students and is freely available in iPhone/iPad and Android version. Based on a voluntary students’ survey, the majority rated ACE favorably, indicating that they were satisfied with the app. ACE was presented at several international and local events and received positive feedback.
Developmental Links Between Externalizing Behavior and Student–Teacher Interactions in Male Adolescents With Psychiatric Disabilities

Abstract Students exhibiting challenging externalizing behaviors may benefit from supportive interactions with teachers. However, if students show high levels of externalizing behaviors, this may negatively impact on student–teacher interactions, and vice versa. We therefore examined bidirectional developmental links between student–teacher interactions and externalizing behavior of male adolescents placed in special education because of psychiatric disabilities. Participants were 584 adolescents (Mage = 15.0 years, SD = 1.7) and their teachers from 14 Dutch special education schools. At 3 time points, student-reports of student–teacher interactions and teacher-reports of adolescents' externalizing behavior were collected. Using autoregressive cross-lagged models, results indicate that externalizing behavior predicted decreases in supportive interactions (β = −.09, p = .02), but not in negative interactions. Student–teacher interactions did not show a significant influence on externalizing behavior. Our results highlight externalizing behavior as an important target for interventions intended to improve student–teacher interactions.
Perceptual and cognitive factors in infant social development

This thesis considers infant social development from the viewpoint of the perceptual and memory capacities necessary for particular social abilities. Some social abilities, e.g. facial or voice discrimination, require visual or auditory integrity, thus the development of visual and auditory capacities are reviewed. Recognition of familiar faces and/or voices requires memory. Hence the development of memory abilities is considered. Subsequently the development of social behaviour is reviewed. After these literature reviews, three experimental studies are described. The first of these investigates the recognition of mother's voice and reports evidence of that such recognition develops during the first month of life. The second experiment considers visual recognition of the mother and differential responsivity to face-to-face and averted gaze and to different tones of voice. One month old infants did not reveal any conclusive evidence on these points. However, post-hoc analysis suggested the importance of the physical characteristics of faces in eliciting infant visual attention. Experience in these studies suggested the need for the study of more naturalistic encounters and hence a methodology for the study and analysis of naturalistic social interactions was developed. This methodology was then applied to a study of interactions between mothers and strangers with infants seen from one to eight months of age. This study revealed a surprising developmental pattern of differentiation between mother and stranger, with an unexpected period of positive responsiveness to strangers occurring at five months of age. The sequential analysis of interactions revealed evidence of a progressive development of infant receptivity to gaze, and also an exploratory analysis of receptivity to adult smiles and vocalizations suggested infants may respond to these adult behaviours. Subsequently the results of these studies are linked to other recent research.
Live Ambience and Homestead away from Home: Social Media Use and Dependency by Visiting Chinese Students in the United States

This study investigates social media dependency relations among Chinese college students during their three-month study abroad sojourn in the United States. Data were collected using a multimethod approach of ethnography, field observation, and in-depth interviews. Inspired by the lens of media system dependency (MSD) theory, the analysis focuses on the diverse goals and motivations that drive student behavior in social media engagement, as well as various contextual factors leading students to adapt and transition to the U.S. social networking sites (SNS), and the subsequent outcomes. The findings indicate that task-driven and assignment-centered goals dominate social media use, and that multidimensional aspects of interaction pervade student engagement with different social networking applications. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in light of the overall findings.
Avatar characteristics induce users’ behavioral conformity with small-to-medium effect sizes: a meta-analysis of the proteus effect

ABSTRACT Over a decade of research on the Proteus effect in numerous contexts suggests that people conform in behavior and attitudes to their avatars’ characteristics. In order to provide clarity about the reliability and size of the Proteus effect, a meta-analysis was conducted with 46 quantitative experimental studies in which avatars with specific characteristics were randomly assigned to participants. Results indicate a relatively consistent effect size (between .22 and .26, depending on subset of studies examined) and nearly all variance explained. Unexplained variance differed between studies that used behavioral or attitudinal measures, while studies which examined potential moderators explained all variance. Overall, this research suggests that the Proteus effect is a reliable phenomenon, with a small-but-approaching-medium effect size according to a traditional rule of thumb, but is relatively large compared to other digital media effects examined in previous meta analyses.
Concerns of southeastern Massachusetts elementary school principals regarding implementation of participative decision making in their schools.

CONCERNS OF SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF PARTICIPATIVE DECISION MAKING IN THEIR SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER 1991 SUSAN M. RANDALL, B.S., EASTERN NAZARENE COLLEGE M.ED., BRIDGEWATER STATE COLLEGE ED,D. , UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Directed by: Professor Gretchen B. Rossman Participative decision making has been identified as a crucial aspect of current American public school restructure efforts. The calls for school improvement through collective decision making by the educational team (i.e., principals and teachers) have been frequently referred to as an effort toward teacher professionalization through empowerment. Given central office support, principals have been cited as playing a major role as potential change facilitators who can enable or sabotage meaningful participative decision making in their schools. Subsequent to being identified by their school superintendents as having initiated participative
Student Responses to Online Peer Assessment in Tertiary English Language Classrooms.

The use of peer assessment has been investigated for decades. However, the results of different studies are mixed. In this study, the implementation of peer assessment was attempted to assess students’ reading aloud and oral presentation in two higher diploma/associate degree English language courses in Hong Kong. Students’ opinions towards the implementation were obtained from the online questionnaire and follow-up interviews. In the end, 163 students from the two courses completed the questionnaire and 11 of them were involved in the interviews voluntarily. Apart from focusing on students’ perceptions of peer assessment, the effects of the use of an online platform for peer assessment were explored. The results showed that more than half of the students were positive towards peer assessment because of their perceived benefits such as consolidating subject knowledge, engaging critical thinking and encouraging active student involvement in the assessment process. Regarding peer feedback, a few participants expressed that they were not confident in their abilities and English levels. Also, the majority of students interviewed commented negatively about the quality of their peers’ feedback. Based on the findings, some implications for education and future studies were drawn.
The Gift of News: Phatic News Sharing on Social Media for Social Cohesion

ABSTRACT Growing interest with the practice of sharing news stories through social media has driven a move in scholarship away from the “news” aspect and towards the “sharing” aspect. As more news is distributed using social media, its use as social glue becomes increasingly significant. Accordingly, this paper places news sharing in the sociological tradition of gift-giving studies, viewing it as a manifestation of care, above and beyond the informational utility of a shared news item. This paper uses data from focus groups of 88 people who routinely share news on social media, and a survey of 2,000 news sharers. The intention is to complement existing studies of the sociality of news sharing by offering an account of the interplay between the who, why and what of news sharing which places it in the relational realm of gifts given and received as a mechanism to demonstrate care and contribute to social cohesion. It proposes the concept of phatic news sharing to account for this emerging use.
Child-to-parent Violence and Parent-to-child Violence: A Meta-analytic Review

In order to examine the literature on the relationship between child-to-parent violence and parent-to-child violence, a meta-analytic review was designed with 26 effect sizes assessing the relationship between child-to-parent and parent-to-child violence in 19 primary studies. Correlational effect sizes were computed and corrected for sampling error, and predictor and criterion unreliability. The results showed a significantly positive, medium magnitude (ρ = .36) mean true effect size for the relationship between child-to-parent violence and parent-to-child violence. Similar results were found for direct and vicarious victimization. The probability of developing child-to-parent violence for children victimized by parents increased 71% as compared to non-victimized children. The child-to parent violence type (physical or psychological), and the population (judicial or community) were analysed as moderators. The results revealed similar effects in both types of child-to-parent violence and in both populations: a significantly positive, medium in magnitude mean true effect size. The theoretical and practical implications for measuring child-to parent violence are discussed.
Observation of Direct CP Violation in K_{S,L} to \pi \pi Decays

We have compared the decay rates of K L and K S to π + π − and π 0 π 0 ﬁnal states using a subset of the data from the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. We ﬁnd that the direct- CP -violation parameter Re ( ǫ ′ /ǫ ) is equal to (28 . 0 ± 3 . 0 (stat) ± 2 . 8 (syst)) × 10 − 4 . This result deﬁnitively establishes the existence of CP violation in a decay process.
Drivers of flood and climate change risk perceptions and intention to adapt: an explorative survey in coastal and delta Vietnam

Abstract This article contributes to current research about determinants of climate change and flood risk perception, and intentions to take adaptive measures. We propose a research model that distinguishes between vulnerability and severity components of perceived risks, and adds perceived adaptive capacity as a third factor to predict the intention to take adaptive measures. We used this combined model as a conceptual lens for an explorative survey among 1086 residents of coastal and delta communities in Vietnam. Pairwise analyses revealed a significant association of flood and climate change risk perceptions with individual’s flood experience, climate change knowledge, frequency of community participation and socio-demographic factors. However, in multivariate analysis, the influence of most socio-demographic factors became weak or patchy. Flood experience was the most influential driver of flood-related risk perceptions but weak for climate change-related risk perceptions and behavioural intentions. Knowledge strongly increased the intention to adapt to flood and climate risks and the perceived vulnerability to and severity of climate change risks, but reduced the perceived capacity to adapt to climate risks. Frequency of community participation increased the perceived vulnerability and severity of climate change risks, the intention to adapt to both climate and flood risks and the perceived capacity to adapt to flood risks, but reduced the perceived capacity to adapt to climate risks. Our research confirms earlier findings that individuals’ knowledge, place-specific experience and social-cultural influences are key predictors of both flood and climate change risk perceptions and intentions to take adaptive measures. These factors should therefore receive ample attention in climate risk communication.
Master’s Thesis as Part of Research-Based Teacher Education: A Finnish Case

The aim of the current case study is to investigate the master’s theses written in 2016 and 2017 by primary school student teachers at a teacher education department in Finland. 111 theses were analyzed focusing on four distinct aspects of the thesis: topic, perspective, research approach and data collection method. The aim is further to discuss how to develop the master’s thesis within teacher education in order to promote teachers’ professional development. According to the findings, students wrote master’s theses of high scientific quality, although an explicit reflection on the relevance and transfer of the knowledge they had gained from the master’s thesis to their professional practice did not seem so obvious. The master’s thesis is an important part of research-based teacher education and should be developed to encourage students to adopt a research approach in their future work and enhance their profession in this direction.
Mass media, Linguistic Intergroup Bias, and fear of crime

Using the Linguistic Category Model as framework, in two studies we analysed the relations between the level of abstractness of the descriptions of rapists, the nationality of the rapists, and participants’ fear of crime. In Study 1 we preliminarily analysed how Italian newspapers describe the perpetrators of rapes as a function of their nationality. We took into account the 254 articles which had in their title or in their main corpus the Italian equivalents for “sexual abuse”, “rape”, or “sexual assault” published in 2010 by three national Italian newspapers— La Repubblica , Il Corriere della Sera , and Il Giornale (which, differently from the other two, is mainly read by an audience very biased against immigrants). A 2X3 ANOVA showed that, consistent with our hypotheses, when describing a rape perpetrated by an immigrant vs. an Italian, Il Giornale gave a significantly more abstract account of the assaulter. In Study 2 (performed on 80 undergraduates), we experimentally analysed the consequences of being exposed to an abstract vs. concrete description of a crime perpetrated by an immigrant vs. by a native. A moderated hierarchic regression showed that the abstractness of the account fostered participants’ fear of crime irrespective of the nationality of the rapist. Moreover, this relation held only among participants reporting living in a physically disordered community. Strengths, limitations, and future developments of this research are discussed.
Factores de resiliencia y riesgo suicida en adolescentes en estado de abandono.

A descriptive correlational investigation was made in 49 female teenagers from a children’s home in Chiclayo. The purpose was to know the correlation between resilience factors and suicide risk. Two instruments were used, the Teenage Resilience Scale and the Suicide Risk Scale by Plutchick.It was found that 51% of teenagers presented an average level of resilience, 43% had a low level of resilience and 6% had a high level of it. As regards suicide risk, 57% of teenagers didn’t have attempted suicide risk and the 43% had attempted suicide risk. In addition, a negative correlation was found between initiative, humor and morality factors with suicide risk. Remaining factors did not show any correlation with suicide risk.
