Standard of living is defined by Kirkpatrick (1928) as the measured or evaluated amounts of the different kinds and qualities of economic goods involved in meeting physical and psychic needs and wants of the different individuals composing the family. Writers from the earliest times have been interested in how their fellow human kind have lived, in what sort of houses, the kinds of clothes worn, food they consumed etc. Family budget enquiries serve as a valuable guide to the living conditions of the people. These surveys are specialised ones in which the bulk of the data collected relates to consumer expenditure. They also provide the basis for comparison of consumption levels at different periods and between different population groups. They also supply the basic data needed for policy making in connection with social and economic planning. Family budgets accurately drawn up are likely to give better indication of economic conditions than estimates of income. The main object of the present paper is to study the levels of living of different income groups as well as the different categories of land holders. An attempt has also been made to study the pattern of income distribution and the expenditure elasticities for the different income groups.

Published: October 2023

Cumbu and cotton are the two important crops of the black soil region in the Southern districts of Ramanathapuram, Madurai and Tirunelveli occupying about four lakhs of acres. Both cotton and cumbu when continuously cropped deplete the soil to a great extent. An average crop of rainfed cotton in India takes away from the soil about 23 lb of nitrogen, 18 lb of phosphoric acid and 78 lb of potash (Sawhney and Sikka, (1960). Unless this annual loss is periodically replenished the yield of the crops is bound to slide down year by year. Application of adequate organic matter is useful in the rainfed areas but required quantities are not readily available. Hence there is need for use of chemical fertilizers.
Increasing Agricultural Production (Part III. THE SITUATION IN INDIA)
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003, M.R BALAKRISHNAN
Published: October 2023

The situation in India is exactly similar to what has been seen in the world picturo. Insufficient land area, low productivity and an increasing population are the contributing causes. India is no better nor worse than many other countries, although her large population makes one feel spprehensive. A review of the figures available for the last ten years on agricultural production, does show that India has maintained progress. The index numbers of agricultural production substantiate this.. India's real problem has been an abnormally alarming increase in population. From 250 millions in 1901, it has reached 440 millions in 1960-61, an increase of nearly 90 per cent. Her population has doubled itself in 60 years but agricultural production has registered an increase of only 10 to 30 per cent in different crops during the same period.
Export Problems of Bananas and Planning for Production
Authors:   Fruit Development Croporation Ltd Madras, S KRISHNAMURTHI
Published: October 2023

Importance of Bananas in the Export trade of India: Of all fruits in India, banana requires the most urgent attention as a matter of highest priority for initiating developmental schemes with the special objective of export to earn the much needed foreign exchange for the country. First and foremost, there is hardly any country in the world in which banana is not a popular fruit generally among the people. Secondly, with no other fruit is there a possibility of such full control over planning for production in relation to export demands as in banana. While most fruits are seasonal, in the case of banana, production can be obtained in almost any part of the year from some State or other growing bananas in the country. Also, in certain large areas of the Indian peninsula, planting of bananas can be so staggered all through the year that shipments would be possible during every month of the year from those areas. No other fruit produces such heavy tonnage per acre as banana does. In package programme areas of the Madras State, by proper use of fertilisers, irrigation and plant protection practices, 20 tonnes of bananas per acre have been obtained on the average. It is almost impossible to obtain such bulk production per unit area in any other fruit within such short period as within one year of planting.

Linaloe oil is an essential oil which is extracted mainly from wood in Mexico, berries in Mysore and to a small extent from the seeds and leaves of the plant Bursera delpechiana Poiss ex Engl. and some of its allied species. The genus Bursera, a native of Tropical America includes between 40 and 50 species, many of which provide valuable resins and essential oils. According to Holmes (1910), Mexican linaloe oil is distilled chiefly from the wood and to a small extent from fruits (seeds) of closely related species of the genus Bursera, primarily B. delpechiana Poiss. and to a certain extent B. aloezylon (Schiede) Engl., B. glabrifolia (H. B. K.) Engl. and B. fagaroides Engl. var. ventricosa. Mexican producers call these trees as linaloe or in vernacular Copal limon. Albert R. Hill states that the Mexican species viz, Bursera penicillata and B. glabrifoliac Cayenne linaloe or bois-de-rose is derived from Aniba panurensis of Guianas, while Brazillian bois-de-rose is obtained from Aniba rosacodora var. amazonia, a tree of lower Amazon basins.

Among the oilseed crops, castor (Ricinus communis L.) is a well known host and the damage due to defoliation is often considerable. Observations made in 1962 at the Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore on the biology of Notolophus posticus W. are reported in this paper.
Comparison of Traditional Chinese Thought and Xi Jinping's Understanding of Governance through the Hundred Schools of Thought
Authors: KÖRKEM Cansu
Published: October 2023

Xi Jinping, often referred to as the contemporary Mao, has introduced numerous development plans on a national and global scale since taking office as President in 2012. Having learned lessons from the disastrous Cultural Revolution which aimed to implant socialist ideas in China and resulted in the deaths of millions, Xi Jinping declared a new era in governance by emphasizing the importance of "Chinese Characteristics". Now, a Chinese government that has overcome the 'century of humiliation’ and is capable of confronting Western powers through a concerted effort, has successfully integrated Marxist-Leninist ideology with Chinese characteristics. Xi Jinping's philosophy, which combines modern requirements with the principles of traditional Chinese governance, has become part of the CCP ideology. Xi's comprehension of governance stems from traditional Chinese philosophy. The Warring Principalities era and the emergence of the Hundred Schools of Thought are the foundations of Xi's understanding of governance. This article investigates the heritage and evolution of Xi Jinping's governing ideology from ancient Chinese traditional beliefs, using the example of the "Hundred Schools of Thought". The article aims to explore the value implications of traditional Chinese governance thought in contemporary political life. Additionally, it seeks to promote the essence of ancient Chinese traditional culture, investigate its relevance in modern times, reveal patterns of cultural development, and offer guidance on how to carry forward and inherit the traditional Chinese cultural perspective.

Authors: Jauhari Haris , Bagaswoto Hendry Purnasidha , Setianto Budi Yuli
Published: November 2023

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in the intensive cardiac care unit and recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome with variable etiology and clinical presentation that affects acute morbidity and mortality. AKI needs to be identified early and underlying causes must be treated

Aim: The aim of this study is to identify the risk factors of AKI in critically ill patients at ICCU Sardjito General Hospital.

Method: We performed a retrospective analysis of patient registry from Sardjito Cardiovascular Intensive Care (SCIENCE) between January 2021 and December 2021. This registry provided demographic data, risk factors, comorbidities, laboratory findings and survival outcomes. The KDIGO criteria were used to define AKI characterized by an increase in serum creatinine more or equal to 0.3 mg/dL in 48 hours, or an increase in serum creatinine more or equal to 1.5 times than previous value, or urine volume less than 0.5 mL/kg BW/hour for 6 hours. Univariate and multivariate data analyses were carried out.

Results: This study included 428 patients with an incidence of AKI was 14,3 %. Univariate analysis showed that AKI was related to diabetes, acute heart failure, sepsis, APACHE score, SAPS, Sardjito score, MCARS, hemoglobin, leukocyte, and plasma albumin concentration. Furthermore, we did multivariate analysis and showed the independent predictor of AKI at ICCU admission is acute heart failure (OR 3.90; 95% CI 1.95–7.77; p <0.001), sepsis (OR 3.02; 95% CI 1.03-8.90; p 0.045) and high APACHE II score (OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.13-0.80; p 0.015).

Conclusions: Acute heart failure, sepsis and high APACHE score at admission is independent predictors of AKI among critically ill in ICCU Sardjito General Hospital. The results of this study may contribute to the implementation of targeted therapies.

Das entfesselte Selbst
Authors: Altmeyer Martin
Published: October 2023

Der klassische Sozialcharakter hat sich diversifiziert. Heute tummelt sich auf den Bühnen moderner Kommunikationsgesellschaften ein buntes Gemisch – Influencer und Blogger, Gamer und Trader, Querdenker und Wutbürger, Verschwörungsgläubige und Satanisten, esoterische Sinn- oder Gottsucher, zudem engagierte Klima- und Sozialrebellen einer moralisch hochsensiblen wie politisch hellwachen Generation Z, die den Konsumismus der Generation X wie den Pragmatismus der Generation Y hinter sich lässt. Miteinander teilen all diese Gruppierungen einen gegenwartstypischen Hang zur performativen Selbstentfesselung: Zeigen wir der Welt, wer wir sind! In einer unruhigen Gegenwart mit ihrer Anhäufung bedrohlicher Krisen navigiert das entfesselte Selbst auf ambivalente Weise: psychisch zwischen innerer Befreiung und äußerer Enthemmung, soziokulturell zwischen Identitätshoffnungen und Zukunftsängsten, kosmopolitisch zwischen dem Menschheitsfortschritt einer zusammenwachsenden Welt und der totalitären Versuchung durch geschichtlich längst diskreditierte Ideologien, die der anschwellende Panpopulismus wieder aufleben lässt. Aus der Perspektive einer relationalen Psychoanalyse betreibt Martin Altmeyer zeitdiagnostische Aufklärung als Selbstaufklärung.
Urphantasie
Authors: Laplanche Jean , Pontalis J.-B.
Published: October 2023

Welchen Status hat die Phantasie innerhalb der Psychoanalyse? Wie lässt sich ihr Verhältnis zur Sexualität begründen? Was haben Phantasieproduktionen mit Ursprungsfragen zu tun? Auf welche Rätsel sucht die Phantasie eine Antwort zu geben? Das sind einige Fragen, die Laplanche und Pontalis in diesem 1964 erstveröffentlichten Essay entfalten.

Der neu ins Deutsche übersetzte Text markiert den Moment, an dem sich die Autoren des Vokabular der Psychoanalyse von ihrem Lehrer Lacan abwenden, um ihre eigene Rückkehr zu Freud zu vollziehen. Zum ersten Mal gräbt Laplanche, hier noch mit Pontalis, auf unnachahmliche Weise einen vergessenen Begriff Freuds – die Urphantasie – aus, um ihn für das psychoanalytische Denken fruchtbar zu machen. Die Autoren heben diesen versunkenen Schatz und ziehen Verbindungen zu weiteren Freud’schen Begriffen, die nach einer langen Periode des Schweigens wieder zur Sprache kommen: Autoerotismus, Verführung, Nachträglichkeit, Anlehnung.

Psychoanalytische Schulen im Gespräch über die Konzepte Jean Laplanches
Authors: Mertens Wolfgang
Published: October 2023

Wolfgang Mertens stellt die von Laplanche formulierten neuen Grundlagen der Psychoanalyse auf anschauliche Weise dar und beleuchtet seine wichtigsten Konzepte – wie die »unvollendete kopernikanische Revolution Freuds«, die »Allgemeine Verführungstheorie«, die Unterscheidung von »Trieb« und »Instinkt« und die »rätselhafte Botschaft«. In einer fiktiven Diskussion mit Vertreter*innen verschiedener psychoanalytischer Richtungen problematisiert er Laplanches Thesen und schlägt interdisziplinäre Brücken zwischen den divergierenden Ansätzen.
La democracia en América Latina, entre la ficción y la esperanza
Authors: Ansaldi Waldo
Published: November 2023

El artículo ofrece algunas grandes líneas para explicar, desde una perspectiva sociológico-histórica, las dificultades experimentadas por las sociedades latinoamericanas para definir regímenes políticos democráticos y encontrar, en segundo lugar, alguna respuesta a la pregunta ¿por qué clases dominantes que levantan la democracia como principio de legitimidad de la construcción de su poder institucionalizado, terminan generando regímenes escasamente democráticos, cuando no francamente dictatoriales? El punto de partida es la hipótesis de la constitución histórica de los países latinoamericanos desde tres matrices societales: la plantación con trabajo esclavista, la hacienda con trabajo semiservil y la estancia con trabajo asalariado. Las tres generan coincidencias y diferencias en los planos sociales y culturales que no dejan de expresarse, con matices, en las formas con las cuales se procesan, tras la ruptura del nexo colonial, los proyectos y los fundamentos del nuevo orden político. La historia generada por tales matrices permite comprender por qué la lucha por la democracia no cuenta con actores democráticos genuinos, capaces de, y/o con la fuerza suficiente para, impulsar luchas por la construcción de regímenes políticos democráticos. En ese sentido, es particularmente notable el carácter no democrático de las burguesías latinoamericanas, el cual pone en duda la sinceridad de su proclamada adhesión actual a la democracia liberal. Su formidable capacidad camaleónica las impele hoy a jugar el juego impuesto por la coyuntura política mundial: la democracia política es una condición necesaria para hacer buenos negocios.
PARA UNA REFUNDACIÓN EPISTEMOLÓGICA DE LA TEORÍA DEL DERECHO
Authors: Ferrajoli Luigi
Published: November 2023

El autor expone sumariamente  las líneas epistemológicas  y los principios metodológicos de la teoría que ha desarrollado  en Principia iuris. Teoria del diritto e della democrazia.  En particular, se analiza el método adoptado, el objeto o universo del discurso teórico y los fines perseguidos en este trabajo, proyectado por el autor ya desde los años sesenta del siglo pasado. El resultado es una teoría articulada en dos partes: por un lado, una teoría del derecho elaborada con el uso del método axiomático y, por otra, una teoría de la democracia constitucional, que es una interpretación  empírica y normativa de la primera, conectadas ambas por una relación de isomorfismo que une a la democracia y al paradigma constitucional del Estado de derecho.

Sobre el interés superior de los niños y la evolución de las facultades
Authors: Liebel Manfred
Published: November 2023

En la Convención  internacional  sobre los Derechos del Niño, el concepto del interés superior del niño es uno de sus principios  rectores.  Para comprenderlo  como referente  y posible impulso de actuación de niñas y niños, el autor analiza este principio en conjunto con otro principio que igualmente queda establecido por la Convención:  el principio de la evolución de las facultades. Para relacionarlo  con la vida real de las niñas y los niños, el autor explica, más allá de sus aspectos legales, diferentes formas de entender este principio. Con  referencia  al enfoque  de las “capabilidades”  (capabilty approach),  f inalmente  hace hincapié no sólo en las condiciones de la evolución y del reconocimiento de las capacidades de niñas y niños sino también en las condiciones  de su realización.
Instituciones y costos de transacción
Authors: Barragán Julia
Published: November 2023

El objetivo fundamental por el cual las sociedades establecen arreglos institucionales es el de abaratar los costos de transacción. Para alcanzar dicha meta se han ensayado diferentes métodos de diseño que colocan el énfasis principalmente en los sistemas de incentivos dirigidos a estimular un comportamiento de obediencia de las reglas institucionales. Mostraremos por una parte que el punto de vista interno asumido por los usuarios en relación con las instituciones contribuye a bajar los costos de transacción, y por la otra que el mensaje valorativo de la autoridad normativa cumple un papel decisivo en la construcción de tal punto de vista.
Self-compassion and School Burnout in Adolescents During the Lockdown Period: The Parallel Mediator Role of Intolerance of Uncertainty and Positivity
Authors: ALBAYRAK İbrahim
Published: October 2023

This research aims to investigate the parallel mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty and positivity on the relationship between self-compassion and school burnout. Hypotheses were tested in a sample of 304 Turkish adolescents using mediation analysis (Mage = 14.63).The research consists of data obtained during the lockdown caused by Covid-19 in Türkiye. An online measurement tool was applied to the sample, including self-compassion, intolerance of uncertainty, positivity, and school burnout. The results showed that intolerance of uncertainty and positivity mediated the indirect effect of self-compassion on school burnout. Investigating both negative and positive psychological variables in explaining school burnout can support interventions and policies to be planned in the school environment.
Behavioral Problems in Children with Hearing Loss: A Comparative Analysis with Children with Typical Development and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: GENÇ Abdullah , DOĞAN Murat , ÇOLAKLIOĞLU Osman
Published: October 2023

Research findings on the prevalence and characteristics of behavioral problems of children with hearing loss (HL) are not consistent. The aim of this study was to compare the behavioral problems of children with HL, with typical development (TD) and with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); and to determine the factors affecting behavioral problems in the HL group. Data were collected by using two scales based on the reports of 273 teachers of children with TD, HL and ASD: Child Behavior Checklist-Teacher Report Form (CBCL-TRF) and Social Skills Rating System-Problem Behaviors (SSRS-PB). ANOVA results showed that there was no difference between children with HL and TD, children with ASD had more behavioral problems than the two groups. In the HL group, children using hearing aids exhibited more behavioral problems than children with cochlear implants. Children who had additional problems displayed more behavioral problems than those who had not. Age at onset of hearing aid use and age at implantation were found to be significant predictors of behavioral problems. The findings point to the role of early intervention in preventing behavioral problems in children with HL.
The Impact of Self-affirmation on Teacher Leadership: An Experimental Design
Authors: BOLAT Özgür
Published: October 2023

Teacher leadership has recently gained significant attention in the literature since there is enough evidence that it leads to effective student outcomes. Therefore, many scholars study the antecedents of teacher leadership. This study investigates the impact of self-affirmation on teacher leadership beliefs through an experimental design. Self-affirmation, a well-established construct in psychological science, refers to participants’ affirming their self-transcendent (e.g., empathy, justice, honesty) or self-enhancement (e.g., power, status, wealth) values through a writing exercise. In the experiment (n=221), participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a self-transcendent value-affirmation group (STVA), a self-enhancement value-affirmation group (SEVA), or a control group. Participants in three groups wrote about their self-transcendent values, self-enhancement values or their meals and completed teacher leadership belief scale. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated that the STVA group had significantly higher scores on teacher leadership belief scales compared to the SEVA and the control group. This finding suggests that affirming self-transcendent values can lead teachers to adopt leadership beliefs, which in turn is likely to affect their leadership behaviours. School leaders can incorporate self-affirmation exercises into professional development programmes to facilitate teacher leadership.

This study looked at the effects of compaction on resistivity values as well as the relationship between different degrees of compaction. The material used in this experiment was laterite soil. The sample was tested into a standard proctor mould. The model has 10.20cm diameter and 11.6 cm for height of the mould. Each sample's resistivity was measured entirely compacted.The resistivity testing in this study were conducted using the Miller 400A. ASTM D 422 Standards were used, and for electrical resistivity testing, ASTM G57 is used. This research emphasises the impact of moisture content on resistivity value, as soil reduces resistivity value when the soil has higher moisture content which is 120 Ωm at 37%, and 190 Ωm at 25%. By comparing the results of different moisture content of soil samples under varied degrees of compaction, better resistivity interpretation tables may be generated.
Marine Clay Soil Treated with Demolished Tile Waste: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review investigates the stabilization of marine clay soil using demolished tile waste. The study adopts the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) method to comprehensively analyze existing research in this area.The utilization of waste materials for soil stabilization has gained significant attention due to environmental concerns and sustainability objectives. In this review, we explore the effectiveness of using demolished tile waste as a stabilizer for marine clay soil. The analysis reveals that different types of waste materials exhibit varying degrees of improvement in the soil's properties. The results demonstrate a consistent increase in shear strength after stabilization, indicating the suitability of demolished tile waste as a stabilizing agent for soft clay soils. Interestingly, the highest strength is not obtained at the largest additive quantities. Instead, most research papers report a peak in strength at specific additive proportions and curing time, followed by a decline. This phenomenon occurs when the hydration process is complete, and large lumps form between the clay particles. Furthermore, the size of the additive also plays a crucial role in enhancing the strength of problematic soils. Optimal additive size leads to better distribution and interaction with the clay particles, contributing to improved stabilization results. This review provides valuable insights into the potential of utilizing demolished tile waste for enhancing the engineering properties of marine clay soil. The findings highlight the importance of carefully selecting the type and quantity of additives to achieve the desired stabilization outcomes.

The evaluation of noise immunity of reception of DPSK signals in the mode of frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) command and control radio links under the influence of narrowband noise interference (partial-band noise jamming) is performed. It is shown that the noise immunity of data transmission for UAVs under conditions of destructive noise interference can be improved by applying the mode of intra-symbol FHSS with the implementation of an algorithm for weighted signal processing to receive these signals. By the method of mathematical modeling it is shown that the work in the mode of FHSS with switching off of channels strongly affected by intentional interference allows to provide a more significant increase in the noise immunity of data transmission for the UAV communication radio links.

This study aimed to compare the effects of diclofenac, ciprofloxacin and their combination groups on urine tract infection (U.T.I.s) caused by resistance  E coli 0157 H7 in vitro and in vivo. Two hundred urine samples were collected from adult women patients suffering from U.T.I.s from February 2022 to July 2022. The urine specimen was cultured on the blood agar and then incubated at 37°C for (1-2) days; MacConkey agar is the media used for determining the biochemistry results, and identification by  Rapidchek test which was performed on typical colonies from the selective plate. The M.I.C effect of Diclofenac began at (25600µg/ml) against resistance E coli 0157H7 while M.I.C of ciprofloxacin it was at (0.96mg/ml), but M.I.C of a combination between (diclofenacn+ciprofloxacin) it was at (400+0.48) mg/ml. Resistance induction assay,with the ciprofloxacin has increased four times, while with  the diclofenac has doubled, whilst the combination between (diclofenacn+ciprofloxacin) has no changed after 21 days, according to M.I.C.in the time-kill assay, it was proved that the ciprofloxacin and the combination between (diclofenacn+ciprofloxacin) works after 6 hours, compared to the diclofenac, which started to reduce  bacterial counting after 40. After that, the examination was carried out by scanning electronic microscope (S.E.M.) to exam  the mechanics of diclofenac,work  which was found that it was works as anti-biofilm In this study, forty-eighth  (48) rabbits were used and divided into six groups as follow positive control (P.C.), negative control (N.C.), diclofenac (D.C.) in 1mg/kg group, ciprofloxacin (C.I.P.)in7mg/kg group, combination (ciprofloxacin 3.5 mg/kg+diclofenac1mg/kg)COM1 group and combination (ciprofloxacin 1.75 mg/kg+diclofenac1mg/kg) com2 All  animals (injected with  0.1 ml in  CFU E coli 0157 H7 by urinary catheterization route excepting negative control all group excepting negative control resulted in a significant increase in pus cell, epithelium cell concentration in the urine after three days E coli 0157 H7  infection comparison with negative control while  in all experimental period  after (14 days) showed no significant (P < 0.05) between positive control (P.C.) and diclofenac treated groups but combination  COM1 group and com2  decrease significantly (P< 0.05)  after (seven and fourteen) days comparison with positive control. diclofenac can be combined with antibiotics as an anti-virulence agent, enhancing the immune system's ability to eradicate infection

Bittersweet Versus Bitter or Sweet: The Psychological Implications of Restorative and Reflective Nostalgia (working paper).
Authors: Lewicka Maria , Prusik Monika
Published: October 2023

AbstractNostalgia is a multidimensional concept and a subject of interdisciplinary research. Psychologists usually view nostalgia in a positive light as a resource that helps people overcome life discontinuities, contributes to life satisfaction, and builds social ties. In this paper, we show that nostalgia is not necessarily beneficial for people and that, depending on its type, it can play either an adaptive or a nonadaptive role. We distinguish between a wish to reinstate the past in the present (restorative nostalgia) and reflection on the passage of time (reflective nostalgia). In five consecutive cross-section studies (n = 614, n = 2,428, n = 734, n = 2,128, n = 575), we demonstrated the dual nature of nostalgia in various areas of life, such as nostalgia after communism, nostalgia for the lost place, and homesickness. We showed that only reflective nostalgia was associated with positive psychological outcomes, such as optimism about one’s life, perceived group and place continuity, place attachment, mature national identification, and openness to change. By contrast, restorative nostalgia was correlated with life pessimism, a sense of uprootedness, a preference for the physical and social status quo, and national glorification. We demonstrated similar patterns of relationships independent of the contents of the scales of nostalgia. We discuss the possible implications of these two different forms of nostalgia.Keywords: nostalgia for communism, nostalgia for the lost place, homesickness, restorative and reflective nostalgia

Trust but verify: The biasing effects of witness opinions and background knowledge in workplace investigations
Authors: MacLean Carla Lindsay
Published: October 2023

Introduction: A unique feature of workplace investigations is the familiarity that investigators and witnesses have with the factors involved in the adverse incident. Familiarity creates expectations that can shape investigators' and witnesses' assumptions and opinions. The current research examined the biasing effect of non-factual witness claims on investigators' judgments. These claims, which we call 'uncheckable', included opinions about factors involved in the event and the future. We also examined how participants' a priori knowledge of an employee's history influenced their judgments.Method: This experiment used a 2 (background information: control or unsafe) x 2 (uncheckable content: neutral or unsafe) between-subjects design. Participants were provided with background information about a worker (control or unsafe history) and a witness statement about a workplace event that contained uncheckable claims (neutral or worker as unsafe). We tested how our manipulations biased participants' judgments of (i) the cause of the event, (ii) the witness's confidence and credibility, and (iii) the diagnosticity of the witness's account. We also tested if biasing background information affected how factual participants found the witness’s statement.Results: Biasing uncheckable information (i.e., opinions) affected participants' judgments of event cause (ηp2 = .033) and increased their ratings of witness confidence (ηp2 = .074). Biasing background information about a worker affected participants' judgments of the cause of the event (ηp2 = .088), the diagnostic value of the witness statement (ηp2 = .054), and the number of factual claims in the witness statement, resulting in more uncheckable claims being misclassified as potential facts (ηp2 = .18). Conclusion: This experiment demonstrated the significant effect that non-factual witness statements and irrelevant background information can have on the interpretation of evidence and judgments about the cause of events.Practical Application: Understanding how contextual information can bias investigative judgment helps workplace investigators manage its influence in their judgment practices.
