Location, Working Hours and Creativity

Background. From the Industrial Revolution onwards, mass production factories and bureaucratic institutions were characterized by coordinated action which was concentrated in specific locations (factories, offices) and at set working hours. However, it is widely assumed that working together face-to-face is rapidly diminishing due to telework, geographical spread of firms, and inter-organizational collaboration. Research aims. This paper speculates how the liquefying of location, working hours, and organizational boundaries will affect creativity, and ultimately innovation, on the work floor. Special consideration is given to the multi-sensuous and relational aspects of moments of creative insight, also known as “epiphanies”. The phenomenon of epiphany will be linked not only to individual creativity, but also to dyadic and group creativity, so as to emphasize its relational character. Methodology. This paper furthers earlier theoretical work regarding the effects of distant work on employee self-control (Clegg & Van Iterson, 2013) and empirical research into the role of epiphany on organizational creativity (Van Iterson et al., 2017).
School Library Research in the Real World—What Does it Really Take?

School libraries are perceived to have a significant effect on student achievement. The reality is that evidence supporting the effects of school libraries on student achievement remains unconvincing to many serious researchers. In this paper, we provide a systematic review of 25 years of school library research examining student achievement. Results indicate that of over 260 studies, fewer than 27 approach the minimum requirements of research design. The unembellished truth is that most school library studies suffer from limitations of design, measurement, and analysis. To address such limitations, we built multiple statistical models based on six years of school-level data reflecting all public schools in New York State. We highlight key challenges of quantitative research: design, indicators, measurement and analysis approaches as they apply to ours and other school library research and share initial results from our study examining the causal relationships among school librarians, resources, activities and student achievement.

Online social networking and its perceived life satisfaction among Sri Lankan medical students

Objective: Studies on online social networking and its impact on life satisfaction of young adults are scant in Sri Lanka. This study aspired to fill this gap by exploring selected aspects of life satisfaction and online social networking. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out at a Faculty of Medicine of a Sri Lankan University. A total of 459 medical students from first to fourth years of study participated. Four self-administered scales on (i) Use of Internet Social Networking; (ii) Meeting Friends; (iii) Social Support; and (iv) Life Satisfaction were adapted from existing literature and used. Results: A majority of medical students uses Facebook while a less number uses online chat rooms. Even with greater online social networking, there were more actual meetings with friends; these meetings were positively associated with perceived social support from friends; and these meetings had an impact on students’ perceived life satisfaction. Conclusions: The study indicated that online social networking has beneficial effects on medical students, in particular in the area of perceived life satisfaction. However, these benefits should be weighed alongside the detriment to privacy and medical professionalism.
Honey, do I look fat? Perceptions of spouses’ weight and weight concerns predict marital relationship quality

The majority of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese, and yet Western ideals of beauty include low body fat composition as a component of physical attractiveness. In turn, perceived discrepancies between actual and ideal body shape and weight mean that many adults experience weight concerns—and they also may be dissatisfied with their spouse’s weight. This study examined whether weight concerns were linked to romantic relationship quality, an important domain of adult development. Specifically, we applied the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model to test how wives’ and husbands’ weight concerns and perceptions of their spouses’ overweight contributed to their own and their spouse’s reports of marital satisfaction and conflict over time. The sample was 197 heterosexual married couples (Mage = 40.85 and 42.81 years for wives and husbands, respectively; Mlength of marriage = 18.6 years at Time 1) with children, who participated in a short-term longitudinal study of family relationships and adolescent development. Two-way interactions between partner perceptions of spouses’ weight and gender indicated that husbands’ perceptions that their wives were overweight predicted decreases in wives’ marital satisfaction and increases in wives’ reports of marital conflict across 1 year. In contrast, wives’ perceptions of husbands’ weight were not associated with changes in husbands’ marital satisfaction or conflict. A two-way interaction between actor and partner weight concerns indicated that individuals reported more marital conflict when there was a discrepancy between their own and their spouse’s weight concerns. Finally, a two-way interaction between actor and partner perceptions of spouse’s weight indicated that, for individuals whose spouses rated them as below ideal weight, their perceptions of the spouse’s overweight predicted their own lower marital satisfaction. Findings suggest that concerns about one’s own and one’s spouse’s weight have negative ramifications for marital relationships.
Parental Accountability, School Choice, and the Invisible Hand of the Market

I introduce the concept of parental accountability by examining how parents understand and cope with what I characterize are pressures fostered by the long-standing public-school choice market in Arizona. Parental accountability refers to the sensemaking, experiences, and consequences that are related to decision-making in a school choice environment, wherein parents’ feelings about their child’s schooling may be intense, emotionally stressful, malleable, cyclical, and ongoing—not static. I argue that parental accountability is a necessary concept for understanding these reforms. The analysis, based on data collected from a study using ethnographic methods, reveals contradictions between parents’ perceptions of their responsibilities to public institutions and pressures to make private choices. Many parents acknowledged that socioeconomic and racial inequities may be exacerbated in some market-based, public-school choice systems. I show how school choice policies and programs can place unique pressure on parents that they experience as a distinct form of accountability.
Assessors’ Satisfaction with Measures of Cognitive Ability Applied to Persons with Visual Impairments

Bauman and Kropf (1979) surveyed assessment professionals who were working with persons with visual impairments (that is, those who were blind or had low vision) to quantify their use of and satisfaction with measures of, among other things, cognitive ability. Their survey revealed the dominance of the Wechsler scales and some ambivalence associated with the use of existing tests, thus pointing to the need to "develop something better" (p. 261). From their data, Bauman and Kropf concluded that "[assessors] are trying everything and satisfied with almost nothing. Research is needed! " (p. 261). This article reports on a study that was a limited replication of Bauman and Kropf's study, to determine whether and to what extent the situation has improved. Current assessment practice demands both dynamic and psychometric approaches, with norm-referenced tests requiring adequate representation of the demographic and sensory characteristics of the examinee in the norming sample (Bradley-Johnson, 1994; Bradley-Johnson & Ekstrom, 1999). These demands are empirically founded. Performance on nonverbal cognitive tasks differs as a function of visual status and history (Marmor & Zaback, 1976; Miller et al., 2000), even at the neurological level (see, for example, Buchel, Price, Frackowiak, & Friston, 1998; Cohen et al., 1997; Rosler, Roder, Heil, &

Why People Feel Younger: Motivational and Social-Cognitive Mechanisms of the Subjective Age Bias and Its Implications for Work and Organizations

The term subjective age bias describes the phenomenon that from adolescence to old age most people feel significantly younger or older than their chronological age. Although recent advances in life-span development research demonstrate the fundamental role of subjective age bias for well-being, performance, and health, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. By highlighting the motivational and social-cognitive mechanisms of the subjective age bias, we answer 3 crucial questions and discuss implications for work and organizations. We conclude with recommendations for future research.

The Impact of Arts on Emotional Empathy Among Adolescents From Intercultural Families

In this study, the effects of a group art intervention on emotional empathy levels among adolescents from intercultural families were evaluated by means of the Questionnaire Measure of Emotional Empathy (QMEE) that was used as a pre-/post- test measure with a control group. The art therapy intervention consisted of eight two-hour weekly meetings. Results of the repeated analyses of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant improvement in empathy among the youth participating in the therapy, when compared with the control group. Irrespective of gender, the experimental group scored statistically higher in the post-test ( p = 0.000032), especially among girls ( p = 0.0001). The findings suggest that the group art therapy was effective in improving emotional empathy levels among adolescents from intercultural families. of
Evaluation of caries risk factors associated with pregnancy

Tooth decay is a serious public health problem, and identifying risk factors to the disease in pregnant women is essential. The use of the Cariogram, could contribute to implementing preventive measures to improve women’s health during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk to dental caries in pregnant women. The Cariogram presents the results of the five risk factors of caries, and it was observed that the patients have a 42% of chance to avoid new carious lesions and 58% could present lesions, which could be caused by 40% related to diet and bacteria. Conclusion: To date, existing studies are not sufficient to ultimately identify main caries risk factors associated with dental decay in pregnant women.
Meditating for the Planet: Effects of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention on Sustainable Consumption Behaviors

Recent research suggests that mindfulness may foster sustainable consumption behavior through the reduction of the so-called attitude–behavior gap, or by weakening material values while increasing subjective well-being. The current controlled longitudinal study tested these propositions by employing a sustainability-adapted mindfulness-based intervention (sMBI) to two different samples (n = 60 university students; n = 71 employees). Although the intervention successfully enhanced mindful experiences in both samples, we found no evidence for neither direct effects on sustainable consumption behavior or related attitudes, nor for the reduction of the attitude–behavior gap. However, the intervention led to greater well-being in the student sample and suggested a decline of materialistic value orientations in both samples. The results blunt previous claims about potential causal effects of mindfulness practice on sustainable consumption behavior. Nevertheless, they indicate that the sMBI affects behavior-distal variables, such as material values and well-being, which in turn could influence consumption behavior in the long run.
CONTENT VALIDITY OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE ON LEARNING EXPERIENCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF DIGITAL INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES BY UNDERGRADUATES

This work aims to analyze the validity of the content of the structured questionnaire for identifying learning experiences associated with the use of digital information and communication technologies (DICT) by undergraduates. It also integrates the pilot study carried out within the framework of a larger study on the construction of learner identity through participation in the learning activities mediated by the TDIC. The content validity allows us to analyze the adequacy of the data collection instruments, taking into account the theoretical concepts proposed for evaluation. The methodology of the work is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the structured questionnaire is elaborated according to institutional reports on the use of the DICT and the results of research on the theoretical concepts of interest that have been published in scientific databases. The second phase consists of carrying out an expert judgment for evaluating the instrument. The group of judges is comprised of 10 people: 5 professionals that have knowledge of the subject and 5 undergraduates from several courses to give us relevant information on the clarity of the instrument. The participants are given a document describing the questionnaire (purpose, theoretical concepts and dimensions of interest) and an instrument to assess each of the items within it. The indices of agreement between the judges are calculated for the questionnaire in totality and for the dimensions studied, and individual interviews are conducted to discuss controversial questions. We find an acceptable index of agreement (higher to 80%) and consider that the participation of the judges from the profile specified has the potential to give us relevant information for constructing the structured questionnaire for use in research.

The Mistake Rumination Scale: Development, Validation, and Utility of a Measure of Cognitive Perfectionism

In the current article, we describe the development and validation of the Mistake Rumination Scale as a supplement to existing trait and cognitive measures of perfectionism. The Mistake Rumination Scale is a seven-item inventory that taps the tendency to ruminate about a past personal mistake. Psychometric analyses confirmed that the Mistake Rumination Scale consists of one factor assessed with high internal consistency. Analyses established that elevated levels of mistake rumination are associated with trait perfectionism, ruminative brooding, depression, and social anxiety. Moreover, scores on the Mistake Rumination Scale significantly predicted unique variance in depression beyond the variance accounted for by trait perfectionism dimensions, rumination, and automatic thoughts. Overall, our findings attest to the further use of the Mistake Rumination Scale and highlight the tendency of certain perfectionists to suffer from cognitive forms of perfectionism involving overthinking about past mistakes and related imperfections involving the self.
Exploring The Relationship Between High School Diploma Requirements in Mathematics and College Remediation Rates

This study examined the relationship between the essential skill of math and college remediation rates using a dataset of 1,858 recent high school graduates attending public, 4-year Oregon universities. Using a logistic regression methodology, this study explored (a) the extent to which the essential skill of math improved college remediation rates, (b) the association between allowable essential skill of math sources of evidence and college remediation rates, and (c) the impact of the essential skill of math on students from various demographic backgrounds. Results from this study suggest the essential skill of math graduation requirement significantly predicts the likelihood of being enrolled in postsecondary math remedial coursework. In addition, high school GPA and SAT math scores predict the likelihood of math remediation, consistent with previous research in this area. Among students included in the sample, females were 29% less likely to be enrolled in math remediation. Other demographic variables did not significantly predict the likelihood of remediation. Evidence from this study shows a relationship between the essential skill of math graduation requirement and decreased remediation rates, although the effects may benefit some groups of students more than others. These results underscore the importance of rigorous academic content, sound assessment practice, and culturally responsive instruction aligned to standards for all students. This study may be used to inform future research in the area of minimum competency high school diploma requirements and postsecondary remediation practice.
Reduction and Analysis of Pavement Profiler Data to Quantify the Bump at the End of the Bridge

Relative settlement between a bridge deck and approach pavement results in an elevation difference at the joint between the two. This difference in elevation is generally known as the bump at the end of the bridge (BEB) and has been recognized as a common problem throughout the Nation. Depending on its severity, a BEB can not only cause discomfort to the driving public but can also damage vehicles or lead to a driver’s loss of steering control. As a result, a BEB reduces the serviceability of approach pavements and can often lead to liability concerns for transportation agencies. Moreover, it leads to decreased service life of bridges and increased maintenance requirements for both automobiles and bridge infrastructure. The annual maintenance cost associated with this problem was reported at approximately $100 million in 1997 (Briaud, James, and Hoffman 1997). Accounting for inflation, this cost is approximately $160 million as of 2019 (In2013dollars.com 2019).
