An end to ‘God-like’ scientific knowledge? How non-anonymous referees and open review alter meanings for scientific knowledge
Authors: Gaudet Joanne
Published: July 2018

In this paper I reflect on changing journal peer review practices and relations, and more particularly, on anonymity for referees and openness of review practices and relations. I explore how non-anonymity for referees and open access to journal peer review editorial judgements and decisions contribute to reshaping meanings for scientific knowledge. Anonymous referees and closed access to editorial documents had, until now, helped shape a meaning of objective and ‘God-like’ absolute knowledge. In contrast, more recent non-anonymous referee and open access dynamics have contributed to a new meaning of situated and partial scientific knowledge. I draw from scholarship on peer review, in legal studies, in the sociology of secrecy, and in the sociology of knowledge. I conclude that non-anonymous referees and open review practices and relations challenge ‘God-like’ scientific knowledge in secretive pre-publication journal peer review that, until now, has been instrumental for natural scientific and medical journal publication models that mostly sell scientific knowledge as news.

Confrontar la muerte, impacto en la dimensión transpersonal y actitudes para la paz positiva
Authors: Garcia Mikel Garcia
Published: July 2018

Existe evidencia empírica y hermenéutica de que trabajar con la propia muerte transforma al sujeto, pero sin suficiente información científica sobre estos cambios ni en su desarrollo espiritual ni en sus actitudes hacia la paz. Las investigaciones existentes abordan aspectos parciales. Este artículo informa de una investigación con el objetivo principal de objetivar esa realidad. Diseño: Integrador consiliente basado en la teoría Gestión del Terror (TMT) y la hermenéutica psicoanalítica junguiana con un marco epistemológico de ensayo clínico. Un grupo experimental participó en un taller clínico “Integración de la muerte, pulsación de la vida”. Un grupo de control no participó. Todos rellenaron un material “antes” del taller y a los 15 y 60 días tras el taller. Método: Datos recogidos mediante cuestionarios: Personalidad MCMI de Millon; Inventario de Mitos Heroicos de Carol S. Pearson; Cuestionarios de ansiedad y miedo a la muerte: DAS; FODS; ADM; EPM - Ejercicio de Personificación de la Muerte. Muestra válida: 103 sujetos: 59 experimentales; 44 control.

Familiarization May Minimize Age-Related Declines in Rule-Based Category Learning
Authors: Rabi Rahel , Minda John Paul
Published: July 2018

Being able to categorize promotes cognitive economy by reducing the amount of information that an individual needs to remember. This ability is particularly important in older adulthood, when executive functioning abilities are known to decline. Prior research has shown that older adults can learn simple categories quite well but struggle when learning more complex categories which place a demand on executive function resources. The goal of Experiments 1 to 3 were to assess whether familiarizing older adults with complex rule-based or non-rule-based categories prior to beginning a categorization task would minimize age-related categorization deficits. Both rule-based and non-rule-based category learning improved among older adults following pretraining, but the improvements to rule-based learning were more drastic, suggesting that executive functioning plays a heavier role in rule-based category learning. Findings provide a potential solution for improving the category learning abilities of older adults.
Heteroglossia in G.H. Musengezi's Honourable MP
Authors: Mboti Nyasha
Published: July 2018

This article illustrates how heteroglossia functions in G.H. Musengezi’s (1984) satirical play, The Honourable MP. Heteroglossia describes the coexistence, as well as the clashing, of distinct voices within a text. It can be shown that while the playwright has a distinct (and seemingly dominant) voice operating in the play – expressed mainly via the sets of characters he creates and the roles he creates for them, as well as through the play’s general mise en scène – there are other voices in the play as well, operating in spite of the playwright’s wishes. The ‘other’ voices specifically function through exceeding the playwright’s, simultaneously confirming and contradicting the central message of the play. It is not what the writer says in the end that is important, but what is made out of what is left after the writer has had his/her say. Meaning finally resides in the surpluses of the text. Audiences ultimately hear what they hear, what they think they hear, and what they want to hear. The ear, rather than the voice, is finally transcendent.

Published: July 2018

Finding the best matching job offers for a candidate profile or, the best candidates profiles for a particular job offer, respectively constitutes the most common and most relevant type of queries in the Human Resources (HR) sector. This technically requires to investigate top-k queries on top of knowledge bases and relational databases. We propose in this paper a top-k query algorithm on relational databases able to produce effective and efficient results. The approach is to consider the partial order of matching relations between jobs and candidates profiles together with an efficient design of the data involved. In particular, the focus on a single relation, the matching relation, is crucial to achieve the expectations.

Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a buffer of the national economy that it proved able to survive during the monetary crisis in Indonesia in 1997-1998. On the one hand, MSMEs have a strong resilience to the economic crisis. On the other hand, the development of MSMEs is faced with complex problems. This research departs from the complexity of the problems faced in developing Tapioca Starch business. This study aims to understand the problems faced by SMEs in developing Tapioca Flour Business in Kediri and prepare concrete steps to solve the problem. This research used descriptive qualitative method with data collection technique of interview, observation, and documentation. The results of this study indicated that the problems faced by the Tapioca flour business in Kediri are that they have no the formation of the business in a business group, the lack of human resources skills in developing the business, the limited business capital, and the dependence of the entrepreneurs on the middlemen directly and not to the detriment of entrepreneurs. The steps proposed for such issues include the formation of business groups, strengthening cooperative networks with business groups, markets, and cassava growers, and strengthening venture capital through saving and loan systems

Impulsivity is a personality trait associated with a heightened risk for drug use and other psychiatric conditions. Because impulsivity-related disorders typically emerge during adolescence, there has been interest in exploring methods for identifying adolescents that will be at risk to develop substance use disorders in adulthood. Here, we used a rodent model to assess inhibitory control (impulsive action) and impulsive decision making (impulsive choice) during adolescence (43-50 days old) or adulthood (93-100 days old) and then examined the impact of development on these impulsivity traits by retesting rats 50 days later. Impulsive action was not stable from adolescence to adulthood in males and was lowest in adult males, relative to adolescents and females. Impulsive choice was stable across development and unaffected by age or sex. Next, we examined the connection between our model of impulsivity and two measures relevant to substance abuse research: the initiation of voluntary alcohol drinking and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) expression in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex. Consumption of saccharin-sweetened ethanol during 30 min sessions in adulthood was associated with adolescent, but not adult, impulsive action, particularly in males. Prelimbic D2R expression was reduced in individuals with high levels of impulsive choice and this relationship appeared to be strongest among females. The results of this study demonstrate that impulsive choice, along with its connection to D2R expression, is relatively unchanged by the process of development. For impulsive action however, individual levels of impulsivity during adolescence predict drinking in adulthood despite changes in the measure during development.
Water consumption as a source of error in the measurement of heart rate variability
Authors: Heathers James , Quintana Daniel S , Angus Douglas , Krygier Jonathan , Kemp Andrew Haddon , de Rosnay Marc
Published: July 2018

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a common measure of the autonomic modulation of the heart. To ensure accuracy, various external factors known to affect HRV such as medication use and concurrent illnesses are frequently controlled during measurement. Despite extensive recognition of the importance of such confounds, the influence of ostensibly innocuous daily activities such as drinking and eating have received remarkably little attention in comparison. Water consumption provokes a powerful pressor stimulus that is buffered by changes in cardiovagal outflow yet it is sporadically controlled during experimentation. This paper examines the dose-dependent magnitude of the effect of water on HRV, the loss of HRV during a common attentional task after water consumption, and the typical scenario of water and mixed meal ingestion. Water affects HRV in a dose-dependent manner, and exaggerates attentionally- mediated HRV reduction. This effect is antagonised by simultaneous mixed meal consumption, which strongly increases cardiac sympathetic activity. Water consumption during or previous to HRV measurement should be carefully controlled, if possible. Considering the diverse nature of experimental protocols and populations, we suggest a hierarchy of methods to control for water consumption in HRV research.
Combating Resource Consumption and Byzantine Attacks in MANET through Enhanced CBDS Technique
Authors: Sharma Muskan
Published: July 2018

MANET is a network where mobile works as node and it is wireless, infrastructure-less network in which nodes can move freely and can change their positions also. It is wireless, so it needs more security than the wired network. We are using Enhanced CBDS technique here, so that we can save our network from Resource consumption and Byzantine attacks. Resource consumption attack can be detected by adding new security checks to the algorithms. If the battery and bandwidth usage of any node are not going as per optimized usage thresholds set. Byzantine Attack we will be detected as if acknowledgement is not received by source in desired time. Adding alarm packet in the CBDS technique is the Enhanced CBDS technique. It shows better results than the CBDS technique Enhanced CBDS technique is better than 2 ACK, BFTR and DSR on the basis of various parameters like packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, and throughput.
Physical Character of Planck’s Constant: Deterministic Reconstruction of Foundational Physics
Authors: Azhar Shariq
Published: July 2018

It is well recognized that there are unanswered questions in the foundations of physics—most evidently in quantum mechanics, particle physics, and gravitation and cosmology—that currently prevent a fuller understanding of the workings of nature. Against that background, presented here is photodynamics, a deterministic mathematical model via which the quandaries in foundational physics can be resolved comprehensively. The core hypothesis of photodynamics is that Planck’s constant h is not merely a natural constant; rather, it is the numerical measure of the magnitude of a photino, a primordial particle of static-form radiant energy of which all of space and matter is ultimately composed. Three postulates define the framework in which all physical interactions associated with photinos take place: (i) photinos are distributed spatially in the form of cells, contiguous photino packets that are autonomous, elastic, and potentially mobile; (ii) the universe evolves recursively in discrete time steps; (iii) all dynamic activity in nature arises from the behaviors of physical systems induced by the innate elasticity of their cellular elements. These foundational axioms are systematically formulated into a universal mathematical model that is then applied to the full spectrum of physics from subatomic to cosmological, yielding remarkable results. Notably, Bohr’s formula for the hydrogen spectrum, the Schrödinger equation, Newton’s law of gravity, nuclear forces, Coulomb’s law, and Maxwell’s electrodynamics all emerge naturally as consequences of photodynamics, which also settles the well-known measurement problem in quantum mechanics and offers insights into cosmic dynamics and the origins of dark matter and dark energy.
A Geographically-aware Multilevel Analysis on the Association between Atmospheric Temperature and the Emergency and Transitional Shelter Population
Authors: Castaneda Ernesto
Published: July 2018

Understanding the geographical distribution and correlates of special segments of the population has the potential for offering insight into human behavior. Our study examines the Emergency and Transitional Shelter Population (ETSP)—which includes what are commonly referred to as “homeless” people. We use 2010 data from two sources: United States (US) Census Bureau county-level ETSP estimates; and North America Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2 (NLDAS-2). We investigate the ecological correlates of ETSP concentration by using a geographically-aware multilevel linear model. The specific aim is to investigate if an how atmospheric temperature is related with ETSP concentration by county—after accounting for population density and percent non-Hispanic-White. We use ArcGIS® 10.1 to create a spatial weight matrix of the ten most proximal counties and use SAS® 9.3 to create an algorithm that estimates County Cluster Dyadic Averages (CCDAs). By nesting the 31,090 CCDAs over the 3,109 counties in the continental US, we find a positive and statistically significant relationship between ETSP density and atmospheric temperature. Ecological studies should continue to explore the spatial heterogeneity of the ETSP.

Authors: Halim Paisal
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this study to describe in general the level of patient satisfaction with services obtained from the hospitalwhere they do the treatment. This research conducted at General Hospital of Mamaju Regency with a population of inpatients at thetime of the study was 358 people. This research uses quantitative research type with Cross Sectional study approach. The number ofsamples used were 153 patients with accidental sampling technique. The result of the research shows that the dominant patient whoundergoes the hospital stay in the general hospital is satisfied, but the satisfaction is not significant because it is still below 75%. Patientsatisfaction should always consider because it can be a material evaluation, especially for medical record officer who serves patients atthe registration so that medical record officers can continue to improve the quality of service to patients. The patient will return to thehospital if the patient feels comfortable when receiving the service and the patient is satisfied with the service provided by the healthservice provider so that eventually the patient will return and use the hospital services.
Teaching three-and-a-half-year-olds to revise their beliefs given ambiguous evidence
Authors: Bonawitz Elizabeth , Fischer Adina , Schulz Laura
Published: July 2018

Previous research suggests that three-year-olds fail to learn from statistical data when their prior beliefs conflict with evidence. Are children’s beliefs entrenched in their folk theories, or can preschoolers rationally update their beliefs? Motivated by a Bayesian account, we conducted a training study to investigate this question. Children (45 months) who failed to endorse a statistically more probable (but a priori unlikely) cause following ambiguous evidence were assigned to a Statistical Reasoning training, one of two Prior Belief trainings (Base Rates, Mechanisms), or a Control condition. Relative to the Control, children in the trainings were more likely to endorse the a priori unlikely variable on a free-explanation task. Critically, children in the Statistical Reasoning condition passed this task, even though their only information about the belief-violating variable came from ambiguous evidence. This suggests that statistical reasoning training improves preschoolers’ ability to learn even from data inconsistent with their prior beliefs.

Beyond p-values: Utilizing Multiple Estimates to Evaluate Evidence

Published: July 2018

Null hypothesis significance testing is frequently cited as a threat to the validity and reproducibility of the social sciences. While many individuals suggest we should focus on altering the *p*-value at which we deem an effect significant, we believe this suggestion is short-sighted. Alternative procedures (i.e., Bayesian analyses and Observation Oriented Modeling) can be more powerful and meaningful to our discipline. However, these methodologies are less frequently utilized and are rarely discussed in combination with NHST. Herein, we compare the possible interpretations of three analyses (ANOVA, Bayes Factor, and an Ordinal Pattern Analysis) in various data environments using a simulation study. The simulation generated 20000 unique datasets which varied sample size (*N*s of 10, 30, 100, 500, 1000), and effect sizes (*d*s of 0.10, 0.20, 0.05, 0.80). Through this simulation, we find that changing the threshold at which *p*-values are considered significant has little to no effect on conclusions. Further, we find that evaluating multiple estimates as evidence of an effect can allow for a more robust and nuanced report of findings. These findings suggest the need to redefine evidentiary value and reporting practices.

Best known is the integration of bacterial genetic information into the nuclear genomeof the eukaryotic cells, during the transformation of α-proteobacterial and cyanobacterialsymbionts into mitochondria and chloroplasts. In addition, more recent evidence suggests thatalso the genomes of Eubacteria and Archaebacteria have a mixed heritage.

We conduct a multiple regression analysis of the main climatic determinants of rain fed cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields for an experimental plot located in Mali, West Africa. The use of daily climatic data allows us to explicitly examine the role of cumulative precipitation, the length of the rainy season, the number of dry spells, the flooding periods, temperature, and solar radiation in determining annual cotton production, and the results of our analysis confirms their importance. In general our findings are in line with the current agronomic literature. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Preprint of "The Impact of Mate Value in First and Subsequent Real-Life Romantic Encounters"
Authors: Wurst Stefanie N. , Humberg Sarah , Back Mitja
Published: July 2018

We provide a first systematic investigation of the most prominent hypotheses about the impact of mate value on interpersonal attraction in real-life early-stage romantic encounters. Using Response Surface Analysis, we simultaneously examined how (a) people’s perception of their own mate value, (b) their perception of a potential partner’s mate value, and (c) the interplay between the two mate values impact initial romantic attraction and selection as well as subsequent interpersonal outcomes after selection. Data came from the “Date me for Science” speed-dating study (n = 398), in which participants who mutually selected each other at the speed-dating event were followed up with 3 assessments in the 6 weeks after the event to assess subsequent outcomes. Participants’ romantic attraction, likelihood of selecting, and subsequent interpersonal outcomes with a dating partner almost exclusively depended on their perception of their dating partner’s mate value: the higher, the better. There was no evidence for the popular matching hypothesis, which states that people feel attracted to and select dating partners whom they perceive to have a mate value similar to their own. Implications of these findings for theory and research on the impact of mate value on romantic attraction and selection are discussed.
Wanting ‘the whole loaf’: Zero-sum thinking about love is associated with prejudice against consensual non-monogamists
Authors: Burleigh Tyler
Published: July 2018

Consensual nonmonogamy (CNM) is a relationship in which individuals agree that romantic or sexual relationships with others is permissible or desirable (e.g., polyamory or open relationships). Although anti-CNM prejudice is prevalent, it is not well understood. We propose that one of the bases of anti-CNM prejudice is zero-sum thinking about love—the perception that one person's love gained is another’s love lost. We outline our theory and then present three studies that test our predictions. In these studies, participants read a vignette that depicted characters who were in a CNM or monogamous relationship, and then judged aspects of the characters and their relationship. In Study 1, participants who read the CNM vignette judged the protagonist's love for their initial romantic partner before and after they became involved with a second partner. Zero-sum thinking was operationally defined as the within-subject change in love ratings. In Studies 2 and 3, participants rated their agreement with items from a new preliminary measure of zero-sum romantic beliefs. We measured CNM devaluation by asking for ratings of the relationships and of individuals in the relationships. Supporting our predictions, in all three studies we found that zero-sum thinking about love was associated with increased CNM devaluation. We end by briefly discussing the implications of our findings.

THE FINAL AUTHENTICATED VERSION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0954579419000178Childhood adversity (CA) increases the risk of subsequent mental health problems. Adolescent social support (from family and/or friends) reduces the risk of mental health problems after CA. However, the mechanisms of this effect remain unclear and we speculate that they are manifested on neurodevelopmental levels. Therefore, we investigated whether family and/or friendship support at age 14 and 17 function as intermediate variables for the relationship between CA before age 11 and affective or neural responses to social rejection feedback at age 18. We studied 55 adolescents (26 with CA) with normative mental health at age 18 (‘resilient’), from a longitudinal cohort. Participants underwent a Social Feedback Task in the MRI scanner. Social rejection feedback activated the dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex (dACC) and the left anterior Insula (AI). CA did not predict affective or neural responses to social rejection at age 18. Yet, CA predicted better friendships at age 14 and age 18, when adolescents with and without CA had comparable mood levels. Thus, adolescents with CA and normative mood levels have more adolescent friendship support and seem to have normal mood and neural responses to social rejection.
Reflection for Action: Designing Tools to Support Teacher Reflection on Everyday Evidence
Authors: Prieto Luis P. , Magnuson Paul , Dillenbourg Pierre , Saar Merike
Published: July 2018

Improving educational practice through reflection is one important focus of teacher professional development (TPD) approaches. However, such teacher reflection operates under practical classroom constraints that make it happen infrequently, including the reliance on disruptive peer/supervisor observations or recordings. This paper describes three design-based research iterations towards technological support for teacher reflection based on everyday evidence and feedback. We collaborated with 16 teachers from two different secondary schools, using a variety of prototype technologies (from paper prototypes to web applications and wearable sensors). The iterative evaluation of such prototypes lead us from a high-tech focused approach to a more nuanced socio-technical one, based on lightweight technologies and ‘envelope routines’ that also involve students. After illustrating the potential of this approach to change teacher practice and students’ learning experience, we also present a series of guidelines for the design of technology that supports such reflection based on everyday evidence gathering.

Published: July 2018

Reducing energy consumption in buildings of all kinds is a key challenge for researchers since it can help to notably reduce the waste of energy and its associated costs. However, when dealing with residential environments, there is a major problem, people comfort should not be altered, so it is necessary to look for smart methods which take into account this circumstance. Traditional techniques have not considered the study of human behavior when providing solutions in this field, but new human-centric paradigms are emerging gradually. We present our research on user behavior concerning electricity consumption in office buildings and residential environments. Our goal consists of inspiring practitioners in this field for developing new human-aware solutions.

Published: July 2018

In this paper, a finite difference algorithm using a three-layer approximationfor the vertical flow region to solve the 2D Euler equations was considered. Inthis algorithm, the pressure was split into hydrostatic and hydrodynamic parts, and thepredictor-corrector procedure was applied. In the predictor step, the momentum hydrostaticmodel was formulated. In the corrector step, the hydrodynamic pressure wasaccommodated after solving the Laplace equation using the Successive Over Relaxation(SOR) iteration method. The resulting algorithm was first tested to simulate a standingwave over an intermediate constant depth. Dispersion relation of the scheme wasderived and it was shown to agree with the analytical dispersion relation for kd < piwith 94% accuracy. The second test case was a solitary wave simulation. Our computedsolitary wave propagated with constant velocity, undisturbed in shape, and confirmedthe analytical solitary wave. Finally, the scheme was tested to simulate the appearanceof the undular bore. The result shows a good agreement with the result from the finitevolume scheme for the Boussinesq-type model by Soares-Frazão and Guinot (2008).

The growth of Protestantism in Brazil and its impact on male earnings, 1970-2000
Authors: Potter Joseph E , Amaral Ernesto F. L. , Woodberry Robert D.
Published: July 2018

Protestantism has expanded rapidly in Brazil in recent decades. The question we tackle in this paper is whether Protestantism has had a positive influence on male earnings in this setting, either through its influence on health and productivity, by way of social networks or employer favor and reduced discrimination, or through other mechanisms. We tackle the problem of the selectivity of religious conversion and affiliation using microdata from the Brazilian censuses of 1970, 1980, 1991, and 2000, and analyzing the association between Protestantism and earnings at the group rather than the individual level. Our results show a strong association between the proportion of Protestants in a region, and the earnings of men in one educational group: those with less than five years of education. Upon introducing race into our models, we found that the association between religion and the earnings of less educated men is concentrated in regions in which there is a substantial non-white population. The relationships we have uncovered contribute to the literature on racial inequality and discrimination in Brazil, which to date has given little space to the role of religion in moderating the pernicious effect of race on economic outcomes in Brazil. The substantial association we found between religion and earnings contrasts with much of the research that has been carried out on the influence of religion on earnings in the United States.

The technique of collectingdata of grouper in floating net cage in Jayabakti Village and Samajatem Village, Pagimana Sub-districtis done randomly (Random Sampling), while for laboratory analysis is done at Station KIPM Class IILuwuk Banggai. The sample of grouper taken in the form of live fish in a state of almost died / collapse.Parasitic examination includes morphological observation, behavior, ectoparasite examination andendoparasit examination. The results of the identification of parasite that attacked of coral grouper(Plectropomus reolatus) on floating net cage in Pagimana subdistrict of Banggai Regency showed thatthe parasite species that attacked of coral grouper were Oodinium sp, Benedenia sp, Trichodina sp,Chilodonella spp, and Crepidostomum sp.
The challenge of constructing psychologically believable agents

Published: July 2018

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) are designed to provide a natural and intuitive communication with a human user. One current major topic in agent design consequently is to enhance their believability, often by means of incorporating internal models of emotions or motivations. As psychological theories often lack the necessary details for a direct implementation, many Agent modelers currently rely on models that are rather marginal in current psychological research, or models that are created ad hoc with little theoretical and empirical foundations. The goal of this article is both to raise psychologists’ awareness about central challenges in the process of creating psychologically believable agents, and to recommend existing psychological frameworks to the virtual agents community that seem particularly useful for an implementation in ECAs. Special attention is paid to a computationally detailed model of basic social motives that seems particularly useful for an implementation: the Zurich model of social motivation.

Arabic has a special characters and positions compare to bahasa Indonesia as the mother tongue of students. These conditions are prospect to create joyful learning and teaching. Therefore, through the teaching and learning it is the opportunity to accelerate the process of understanding source language. This research was conducted in higher education of north Sulawesi in Manado. Non-participant observation and in-depth interview were conducted to collect data. Four months of research was studied from May to September of 2016. There was three circles of focus group discussion in validating data for triangulation. This article shows that the learning material consists of two categories language competency and religious teaching. This study illustrate that learning material was integrated to teaching of Islam. Religious material used to developed interactive substantial discussion and the medium of conversation is the Arabic. Additional activities and class hour was programed to enhance student chance to learn and practice outside formal classroom. There were some instructors were provided to maintain student training for couple weeks. This research discusses that in the field of Arabic language learning emphasize constructing learning opportunity environments, it is important which contents are included and it is also students’ great interest how these contents are presented. Lecturers and instructors tried to provide instructional explanations. Furthermore, they communicate and demonstrate prior knowledge and student motivation in determining learning outcomes. The learning provide student opportunity to acquire conceptual knowledge and language competency. The article concludes by considering how embodied language material learning to religious content is the way to speed up two subject in one teaching for curriculum enhancement.
The Academic Anxiety Inventory: Evidence for dissociable patterns of anxiety related to math and other sources of academic stress

Anxiety about mathematics can have detrimental effects on performance and understanding, yet little research has investigated how math anxiety is related to other types of anxiety. Here we develop the Academic Anxiety Inventory (AAI), an efficient and valid self-report measure designed to test math anxiety, as well as differentiate anxiety associated with mathematics from other contributions of anxiety across various academic domains. In Study 1, we isolated items that independently measure each domain of anxiety, reducing the overlapping variance between math anxiety and other constructs, and determining which components can or cannot be differentiated. Studies 2 and 3 demonstrate that the AAI is consistent and reliable for undergraduate and adolescent populations. In Study 3, anxiety-related performance deficits in a high school math class were associated with scores the AAI-Math subscale. In Study 4, the AAI-Math subscale was associated with perceptions of increased mathematical complexity, decreased estimations of accuracy, and increased negative emotion when participants viewed mathematical expressions. Across four studies, we demonstrate the AAI is a reliable and valid measure of math anxiety and other domains of academic anxiety, providing an efficient questionnaire to determine areas in which students may require extra support in order to reach their full potential.
Methods to Detect Low Quality Data and Its Implication for Psychological Research

Web-based data collection methods such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) are an appealing option to recruit participants quickly and cheaply for psychological research. While concerns regarding data quality have emerged with AMT, several studies have exhibited that data collected via AMT are as reliable as traditional college samples and are often more diverse and representative of noncollege populations. The development of methods to screen for low quality data, however, has been less explored. Omitting participants based on simple screening methods in isolation, such as response time or attention checks may not be adequate identification methods, with an inability to delineate between high or low effort participants. Additionally, problematic survey responses may arise from survey automation techniques such as survey bots or automated form fillers. The current project developed low quality data detection methods while overcoming previous screening limitations. Multiple checks were employed, such as page response times, distribution of survey responses, the number of utilized choices from a given range of scale options, click counts, and manipulation checks. This method was tested on a survey taken with an easily available plug-in survey bot, as well as compared to data collected by human participants providing both high effort and randomized, or low effort, answers. Identified cases can then be used as part of sensitivity analyses to warrant exclusion from further analyses. This algorithm can be a promising tool to identify low quality or automated data via AMT or other online data collection platforms.
Strange carers: Robots as attachment figures and aids to parenting

Sharkey (2010) have examined recent research and developments in childcare robots and speculated on progress over the coming years by extrapolating from other ongoing robotics work. They raise ethical questions about the use of robots as part or full-time carers, focusing on issues of human rights, privacy, robot use of restraint, deception of children and accountability, and consequences for the psychological and emotional wellbeing of children. They consider the adequacy of current legislation and international ethical guidelines on the protection of children from the overuse of robot care. The present comment focuses on the distinction between attachment as bond formation and expectations of availability and responsiveness (security) within attachment relationships. We enumerate key components of bonding and functions of carer secure base support. Our analysis has implications for design and suggests that robots are unlikely to serve effectively as sole carers in the near or far-near future. Even with robots as part-time carers, attachment-like bonds and related learning would likely focus on human carers. Similarly, although infants and children would certainly build expectations regarding the availability and responsiveness of robot carers, the quality of human care would probably be the determining influence on later development and competence. Notwithstanding their limitations of robots as attachment figures they have considerable potential to extend parental care and enrich exploration in infancy and childhood. The Sharkey’s paper and further consideration of robots as carers for infants, children, older adults, and individuals with special needs are of theoretical and practical interest and should be pursued.
