Xenopathia novaki

description: Xenopathia novaki
es una especie poco conocida, descrita por REBEL (1891) de los alrededores de Split (Croacia).
GIBEAUX (1993) describió una especie de Blastobasidae basándose en un ejemplar hembra capturado en Córcega y la colocó en el género Holcocera Clemens, 1863, denominándola Holcocera corsica Gibeaux, 1993; posteriormente, TAUTEL & NEL (2006) capturaron un segundo ejemplar, también hembra, en Francia continental (Var) y lo atribuyeron a la especie descrita por Gibeaux; más tarde, NEL (2013) establece la sinonimia de Holcocera corsica Gibeaux, 1993 con Xenopathia novaki (Rebel, 1891), siguiendo el trabajo de ŠUMPICH & SKYVA (2012), en el que se muestra el aparato genital, tanto masculino como femenino.
Aparte de la localidad croata de donde fue descrita, la distribución de esta especie incluye Córcega (GIBEAUX, 1993), Francia continental (TAUTEL & NEL, 2006), Croacia (nuevas localidades) y Grecia (ŠUMPICH & SKYVA, 2012) y, recientemente, Cerdeña (Italia) (BALDIZZONE, 2013); también es conocida del norte de África (Marruecos) (Ole Karsholt, com. pers.), por lo que puede considerarse una especie de distribución mediterránea.
Las citas de El Ejido (Almería) son, por consiguiente, las primeras para la Península Ibérica y confirman la presencia de esta especie en España.
En la web de Biodiversidad Virtual se incluye un ejemplar en reposo (ver aquí), también de la provincia de Almería, fotografiado por Francisco Rodríguez, atribuido de visu a esta especie. El examen del aparato genital de los ejemplares objeto de este artículo confirma dicha determinación.

Bullying, social self-efficacy, and social competence in anxious youth
Creators: name: Hoffman, Lauren
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Anxiety disorders in youth are associated with a range of psychosocial difficulties, including peer bullying. Though there is evidence to support the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat youth anxiety, little research has examined the impact of bullying on treatment. This study examined a sample of youth who received CBT for anxiety at an outpatient specialty research clinic. It was hypothesized that bullying and bullying-related impairment would moderate treatment outcome, such that bullied anxious youth and those with higher bullying-related impairment would respond less well to treatment. The study also posited that social self-efficacy and social competence would mediate treatment effects and that the indirect effect of social competence would be moderated by bullying (i.e., stronger for bullied youth). Hostile intent served as a comparison mediator and was hypothesized to not significantly mediate treatment effects. Participants (n = 52; age M =15.29 years, SD = 4.19, range = 8-25) were interviewed using a questionnaire that retrospectively assessed for bullying at the time of treatment intake. Youth diagnostic and symptom measures were completed at pre- and post-treatment assessments. Almost 40% of the sample endorsed being bullied in the school year of treatment initiation. Bullying did not moderate treatment outcome. However, among those who were bullied, highly anxious youth who also had high bullying-related impairment had poorer response to treatment. There were no indirect effects of social self-efficacy or social competence on treatment outcome, and the indirect effect of social competence was not moderated by bullying. Surprisingly, change in hostile intent emerged as the only significant mediator of change. Overall, results indicate that bullying is common among anxious, treatment-seeking youth. Results also suggest that bullying can impact response to CBT, depending upon degree of initial anxiety and bullying-related impairment. Findings also highlight the value of addressing hostility in anxious youth. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.
More than just gratitude
Creators: name: Langione, Kristina

Year: 2016

description: Adler and Fagley (2005) defined the term appreciation as a higher-order construct that includes gratitude, along with seven other aspects, and involves “acknowledging the value and meaning of something—an event, a person, a behavior, an object—and feeling a positive emotional connection to it” (pg. 81). The eight aspects of appreciation are represented in the acronym, “HARPS-GLI”, which highlights each part’s distinctiveness: “Have” Focus, Awe, Ritual, Present Moment, Self/Social Comparison, Gratitude, Loss/ Adversity, and Interpersonal Appreciation. These aspects are represented in the eight subscales of the Appreciation Scale (Adler & Fagley, 2005). The purpose of this study was to test whether the underlying structure of the instrument is consistent with Adler and Fagley’s (2005) model of appreciation derived, in part, from qualitative themes. Undergraduate students completed the 57-item Appreciation Scale (N=365). A confirmatory factor analysis was computed to test the eight component model as well as three other models. These were derived based on empirical relations between factors (Awe and Present Moment) and also based on logical analysis of the concepts, such as noting that some aspects reflect interpersonal versus personal qualities (Fagley, 2016) or conceptual analyses by others (e.g. Lambert et al., 2009; Wood, Maltby, Stewart, & Joseph, 2008b; Lin, 2014). Overall, none of the tested models had acceptable fit to proceed with parameter estimates for the items. Model comparison indices suggest that the four factor model had the best relative fit, which included “Have” Focus, a combined Awe and Present Moment factor, Gratitude, and Interpersonal Appreciation. Continued work is needed to explore possible factor structures as Loss/ Adversity, but not Ritual or Self/Social Comparison, may be another latent variable within the model. Finetuning the appreciation model can advance interventions in the future by providing participants with specific cognitive or behavioral strategies that can be intentionally targeted, such as expressing gratitude to a partner or engaging in mindful awareness of the present moment.

description: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) is an efficacious treatment for Tourette Syndrome (TS), with a manualized version available for guiding practitioners through treatment. However, CBIT is still a fairly new treatment for TS and rigorous training in its application is sparse. Additionally, potential treatment considerations are not thoroughly described in the manual. This dissertation presents a systematic case study that specifically analyzes the use of the manual with 10-year-old "Hiro," a South Asian Indian boy with TS who also had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is a confounding factor in the treatment of TS. To do this meant applying flexibility and an "hypothesizing-then-testing" mentality. The creation of an individualized case formulation and an associated treatment plan for Hiro were very valuable components in his treatment. The case study chronicles Hiro's successful treatment and explores how and when adherence to the manual was effective as well as how and when greater flexibility was required. Furthermore, the case study explores factors in the clinician/client relationship and how that relationship can prove a powerful tool in treatment. Options for how to maintain treatment goals after termination are also examined. Finally, this dissertation offers a teaching guide to TS by defining and explaining the disorder; delving into some of the theorized causes of the disorder; offering treatment options; and describing the psychosocial implications for individuals with TS.
Training school counselors in Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST)

description: Initial evidence suggests that school counselors can be trained in evidence-based prevention  programs and treatments; however, the application of these interventions in the school setting is  influenced by a variety of factors, including characteristics of the intervention, the provider, and  the organization. Understanding and attending to these factors is crucial to promoting the  successful implementation of evidence-based interventions in school settings. This study  examined the initial feasibility and acceptability of a training and implementation package for  Interpersonal Psychotherapy â€“ Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST), a school-based preventive  intervention for adolescent depression. Participants consisted of 33 school counselors from  middle and high schools in six school districts in New Jersey who were invited to receive  training in IPT-AST. Approximately six months following the training, participants completed  20-30 minute individual, semi-structured interviews regarding a) whether or not they ran IPTAST  groups, b) perceived barriers to and facilitators of implementation, and c) suggestions for  improvements to the IPT-AST training package. Of the 33 counselors interviewed at six-month  follow up, only one had implemented an IPT-AST group (with significant modifications), and  two others had attempted to run a group together. About half of the participants (N=16) reported  incorporating components of IPT-AST (e.g., communication skills, closeness circle), into their  individual, group, or dyadic work. Participant responses highlighted numerous barriers to  implementation of IPT-AST that generally grouped into six categories: 1) time, 2) support from  school community, 3) fit with school priorities and needs, 4) logistics, 5) readiness for  implementation, and 6) beliefs. The facilitators of implementation of IPT-AST groups, as  reported by three participants, fell into similar categories: 1) support from school community, 2)  logistics, 3) readiness for implementation, 4) beliefs, and 5) provider characteristics. Implications  for future training and implementation efforts are discussed.

description: Epistylis obliqua Sommer, 1951
(Fig. 1 A–C & Fig. 2 A–B)
Improved diagnosis: Colony alternating branched, short umbrella-shaped. The zooids are attached to the ends of a stalk branches. Contracted colony have a spherical shape. The stalk branching usually stepped (Fig. 2). All ends of branches are very short and only the upper ones are occupied by zooids. Number of zooids per colony is 6–9. Zooids 45–52 µm long × 19–22 µm wide in vivo (72 µm long × 45–50 µm wide after Sommer, 1951), elongate vaseshaped and constricted below the thick peristomial lip. Primary stalk of colony short to moderately long, measuring approximately 80 µm long. According to Sommer (1951), length of primary stalk reaches values 260 µm. Stalk diameter varies from 6 to 9 µm (11 µm after Sommer, 1951).
Zooids of E. obliqua are asymmetrically built and taping conically towards the stalk. The protrusion of the peristome is completely elongated at the orifice of the peristome and inverted on the opposite side. It rarely reaches its maximum width of the body.
Peristomal lip single-layered, is slightly everted with a size ranging from 20 to 25 µm in width and from 5 to 6 µm in height. The peristomal disc is wide, flat, and barely rises when the ciliate is turned. The edge of the peristome is furnished with numerous small and narrow folds. The wide, then tapering, elegantly shaped long infundibulum is characteristic of the genus (Fig. 2 A–B). The contractile vacuole is positioned in the anterior quarter of the cell body. The C-shaped macronucleus lies in the adoral half of the zooid and oriented along longitudinal axis of the cell body. The pellicle is slightly transversally striated.

"We" need to talk about race

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Statement of Problem: Little is known about the processes that promote satisfaction and intimacy for Black couples, and even less research has been devoted to how these couples interact around race. This study explores whether the way in which Black couples discuss race might account for the mechanisms behind racial differences in marital quality. This study hypothesizes that use of we pronouns (we, our, us) will be positively correlated with relationship satisfaction in the sample of couples, compared to I, me and you. In addition, this study qualitatively examines how couples navigate we-ness to varying degrees across themes that represent threats to intimacy in Black couple relationships. Methods: A community sample of 26 Black adult couples in committed relationships received an eight-minute problem-solving task (Floyd, 2004) aimed to assess how Black couples address race-related disagreements between partners. Recordings and transcripts were acquired from a prior study conducted at Rutgers. Each couple was instructed to discuss a chosen issue, and fill out several self-report measures. Gottman & Gottman’s (2008) “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling represented examples of separateness in the transcripts, in contrast to couples displaying antidotes to the “horsemen,” and examples of kindness and generosity, as per coding analysis. Results: Use of “we” was not significantly related to reported relationship satisfaction; some positive correlations were found between partners’ use of “I” and females’ satisfaction. In addition, several clear patterns of potential positive and negative ways of discussing race emerged, and these patterns presented specifically across themes of stereotypes, child-rearing, and religion. Conclusions: This study examined Black couples’ race-related discussions using quantitative and qualitative methods, to provide a preliminary idea of whether use of certain pronouns may relate to relationship satisfaction, and to show how common patterns from couples’ research manifest uniquely in race-themed conversations. The results seem to show how couples’ ability to discuss these topics in a unified way manifests through complex qualitative discussion patterns rather than only through the use of pronouns. Implications of these findings are discussed.
The effects of within-activity choice interventions on problem behavior and task engagement of children with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Schulman, Rebecca

Year: 2016

description: Historically, individuals with developmental disabilities have been given few opportunities to make choices in their daily lives across various contexts.  It was often thought that this population was either not capable of making choices or that individuals with autism would make bad choices when given the opportunity.  However, research has shown that not only are individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) capable of making choices, but that choice-making interventions can be effective in reducing problem behavior and increasing appropriate behavior.  To date, studies have evaluated the effects of across-activity choices on problem behavior and task engagement.  The current study assessed the effects of providing within-activity choice during non-preferred activities.  Results showed idiosyncratic effects of the within-activity choice across two participants in terms of rates of problem behavior, task engagement, and preference for the choice-making intervention.
Stigma of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Creators: name: Shcherbakov, Anton
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological developmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in communication, social interaction, and repetitive or restricted patterns of behavior. Stigma is a social process that involves identifying human variations and associating these variations with negative attributes. As a result of this process, individuals who are stigmatized can experience discrimination from others. Previous studies have shown that individuals with ASD experience stigma throughout their lifespan. Additionally, they experience particularly poor employment outcomes, even among individuals with disabilities. The current study examined the role of stigma in the workplace by testing a willingness-to-accept (WTA) behavioral economics measure that modeled stigma as a “cost” of working with someone with ASD. Participants were 256 individuals that read a vignette describing a potential coworker with social deficits characteristic of ASD, with mild social deficits, or with diabetes. Vignettes, with the exception of the individual with diabetes, did not include diagnostic labels. Participants were then asked to rate their attitudes towards the coworker described and to request a salary increase from a hypothetical employer that would offset the “cost” of working with the individual that had those difficulties. The results indicate that while participants reported more negative attitudes towards an individual with characteristics of ASD, they did not request any additional compensation for working with them compared to an individual with diabetes or with mild social deficits. Additionally, participants believed that other participants would request less additional money for working with an individual with ASD than for working with an individual with diabetes. These results provided mixed support for the study hypotheses. Overall, participants appeared to be influenced by the belief that the hypothetical transaction (WTA measure) was a taboo trade-off, or a morally unacceptable transaction. Implications for utilizing a WTA measure for studying stigma and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Symmetry is one of the cornerstones of modern physics and has profound implications in different areas. In symmetry-protected topological systems, symmetries are responsible for protecting surface states, which are at the heart of the fascinating properties exhibited by these materials. When the symmetry protecting the edge mode is broken, the topological phase becomes trivial. By engineering losses that break the symmetry protecting a topological Hermitian phase, we show that a new genuinely non-Hermitian symmetry emerges, which protects and selects one of the boundary modes: the topological monomode. Moreover, the topology of the non-Hermitian system can be characterized by an effective Hermitian Hamiltonian in a higher dimension. To corroborate the theory, we experimentally investigated the non-Hermitian 1D and 2D SSH models using photonic lattices and observed dynamically generated monomodes in both cases. We classify the systems in terms of the (non-Hermitian) symmetries that are present and calculate the corresponding topological invariants.

description: Little Higgs models address the hierarchy problem by identifying the SM Higgs doublet as pseudo-Nambu--Goldstone bosons (pNGB) arising from global symmetries with collective breakings. These models are designed to address the little hierarchy problem up to a scale of $Λ\!\sim\! {\cal O}(10)$ TeV. Consequently, these models necessitate an ultraviolet (UV) completion above this scale. On the other hand, conformal extensions of the Standard Model are intriguing because scales emerge as a consequence of dimensional transmutation. In this study, we present a unified framework in which the electroweak hierarchy problem is tackled through a conformal symmetry collectively broken around the TeV scale, offering an appealing UV completion for little Higgs models. Notably, this framework automatically ensures the presence of the required UV fixed points, eliminating the need for careful adjustments to the particle content of the theory. Moreover, this framework naturally addresses the flavor puzzles associated with composite or little Higgs models. Furthermore, we suggest that in this framework all known little Higgs models can be UV-completed through conformal dynamics above the scale $Λ$ up to arbitrary high scales.

Trait emotional intelligence and burnout in school psychologists

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The role of the school psychologist is one that requires both emotional and physical energy in order to meet the demands of working with an array of children, teachers, administrators, parents, and other personnel. Such a demanding career can lead to high stress and burnout. The current study focuses on how emotional intelligence (EI), or the ability to understand, reason with, and manage feelings, impacts the likelihood of burnout among school psychologists. Two hypotheses were addressed: (1) school psychologists with higher levels of EI will be less likely to experience burnout, and (2) school psychologists' age and years of experience in the field will correlate positively with EI and negatively with burnout. Participants were 80 members of the New Jersey Association of School Psychologists (NJASP). They completed online questionnaires assessing EI with the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire - Short Form (TEIQue-SF), burnout with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and demographic factors including age, years of experience, degree earned, percentage of minority students served, and time spent in different professional activities. Multiple regression analyses (MRA) were conducted to examine the relationship between EI and three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and sense of personal accomplishment (PA). The MRA controlled for age and years in the field. The findings supported the study's first hypothesis: school psychologists with higher EI experienced lower levels of burnout. The results did not support the second hypothesis: there was no statistically significant relationship between age or years in the field and burnout. Exploratory analyses examined whether burnout or EI varied based on degree earned, percentage of minority students served, and time spent in various professional activities. The only statistically significant result was that time spent in intervention activities was negatively associated with the burnout variable of DP, but the nature of the association was complex and unclear. Implications for school psychology training programs are discussed, and it is recommended that future research focus on additional factors that may moderate the relationship between EI and burnout, such as school characteristics and role definitions.
Educational expectations, social normative expectations, and grit in an urban middle school

description: In urban, underfunded school districts, risk factors are present that impact the opportunities available for students to learn and succeed academically.  It is imperative to explore factors associated with educational attainment in an effort to influence program development and ultimately reduce the achievement gap by creating opportunities for all students to succeed. Previous research has identified student expectations as a major predictor associated with higher levels of educational attainment.  This study sought to develop a better understanding of the relationship between students' personal expectations and social normative expectations, which are social and peer norms about educational success that are embedded within a particular school system.  In looking at this relationship, end-of-year English and Math grades and levels of grit, one's perseverance and passion for long-term goals, were considered as relevant factors.  The predominantly Latino (90.82%) sample, N = 1,166, included 6th through 8th grade students from an urban middle school in New Jersey.  Results of this study reveal that students with high personal expectations received significantly higher grades in Language Arts (F (1, 1164) = 83.237, p < .001) and Mathematics (F (1, 1164) = 122.638, p < .001) than students with low personal expectations.  A matrix was developed to demonstrate the interaction between personal and social normative expectations. Despite the risk factors evident in this population, the majority of students (55.31%) rated themselves as having high personal expectations and high social normative expectations. Additionally, students who rated themselves as having high personal and social normative expectations tended to have higher levels of grit (F(1, 1162) = 4.05, p < .05).  Several explanations have been provided to understand students' positive ratings, including the possible impact of a positive school climate program.  Limitations regarding the current sample and the measures are addressed.  Finally, implications for practice are discussed to enhance school psychologists' understanding of these factors and promote evidence-based school-wide programming which will positively impact student achievement.

description: Chronically ill youth experience higher rates of psychological problems, in particular, depression. In healthy youth, parenting behaviors including discipline, rejection, control aversiveness, withdrawal and over-involvement as well as lower levels of support and warmth are important risk factors for the development of depressive symptoms and disorders. However, generally there is a lack of research examining whether parenting behaviors predict depressive symptoms in youth with chronic illnesses. Some cross sectional research indicates that acceptance, support, warmth and criticism relate to levels of depressive symptoms. Yet, there is a dearth of longitudinal studies examining the relationship between parenting and depressive symptoms in chronically ill youth and many studies do not include a non-medically ill sample. In addition, parenting behaviors have largely been assessed using self-report measures and definitions of parenting behaviors vary widely across studies, limiting our understanding of these relationships. The current study examined whether parenting behaviors longitudinally predict depressive symptoms in chronically ill and healthy youth. The study also assessed whether health status moderates the effects of parenting behaviors on youth depressive symptoms. Parenting behaviors were observed in 295 parent-child dyads, 55 of whom had chronic illnesses. Self-reported depressive symptoms were assessed longitudinally over 12-months. Greater parental negative affect and conflict were predictive of higher depressive symptoms over time in chronically ill and healthy youth. Higher levels of parental positive affect and support predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms over time in healthy and chronically ill youth. Responsiveness and criticism did not relate to the emergence of depressive symptoms. No evidence was found suggesting that parenting behaviors differentially predict depressive symptoms in chronically ill youth compared to healthy controls. Findings suggest that affectively related parenting behaviors (e.g., positive affect, negative affect) constitute a risk factor for the emergence of depressive symptoms in healthy and chronically ill youth. More research is needed to further elucidate these relationships, particularly in chronically ill youth.

description: At the start of the 21st century large scale educational initiatives reshaped the landscape of general education setting rigorous academic expectations to all students. Despite the legal efforts to improve K-12 education, an abundance of research indicates that students entering college often lack basic learning and study skills. For adolescents with learning disabilities, however, these challenges are even greater. While the number of students with learning disabilities who receive their education in the general education content-areas classes continues to grow, information lags behind as to how to effectively adapt instruction to support these students and improve their academic achievement.   In view of the research supporting the conjunctive use of note-taking and review, the current study involved instruction in note-taking using the Cornell method and review strategy with the use of summarization and question generation with sixty eighth grade students with and without disabilities from social studies classes in a public middle school. The current study focused on the evaluation and comparison of students with and without disabilities note-taking and review skills as well as comprehension of lecture content. Specifically, the research sought to answer the following questions: Would students' note-taking, and review skills improve as a result of strategy training? Would comprehension of the material improve with strategy intervention? What are the differences between students with and without disabilities in their note-taking and review strategies prior to and after intervention?   A nonrandomized pre-test-posttest design with experimental and intervention condition was employed to evaluate student performance.  Strategy training and business-as-usual practice sessions were provided by the researcher. Data analysis comprised of students' quantity and quality of notes and comprehension of lecture content before and after strategy training.   The results of the current study suggest that successful strategy training should be time and mastery based in order ensure student success. The findings of the current study were inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of strategy training in note-taking and review on student performance. Lastly, differences between students with and without disabilities on note-taking, study, and test performance were mixed.

description: An ongoing challenge in dark matter direct detection is to improve the sensitivity to light dark matter in the MeV--GeV mass range. One proposal is to dope a liquid noble-element direct detection experiment with a lighter element such as hydrogen. This has the advantage of enabling larger recoil energies compared to scattering on a heavy target, while leveraging existing detector technologies. Direct detection experiments can also extend their reach to lower masses by exploiting the Migdal effect, where a nuclear recoil leads to electronic ionisation or excitation. In this work we combine these ideas to study the sensitivity of a hydrogen-doped LZ experiment (HydroX), and a future large-scale experiment such as XLZD. We find that HydroX could have sensitivity to dark matter masses as low as 5~MeV for both spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering, with XLZD extending that reach to lower cross sections. Notably, this technique substantially enhances the sensitivity of direct detection to spin-dependent proton scattering, well beyond the reach of any current experiments.

Distributed school leadership and its influence on teaching capacity

description: Current educational reforms call for higher student leaning standards. The result is greater accountability for teaching and learning than ever before. School leadership mediates reform implementation so that the intent of the policy is transferred into teaching practice. I suggest that how teachers make sense of leadership reform activities affects their ability to modify teaching and learning in their classroom.  Yet, management and accountability tasks consume the school administrators' time.  A distribution of leadership is necessary to ensure that instructional reforms affect teaching practices in the classroom.     The distribution of leadership varies from school to school.  Thus, little is known about how leadership is distributed.  Even less is known about how school leadership affects teachers and their teaching practice.  Through this investigation I examine school leadership's effect on dimension of teaching capacity during instructional reform.  I use a mixed-method case study of one urban Middle school to understand how teachers experience, both, distributed leadership and activities related to their practice during instructional reforms.  I examined: 1) what school leadership for instructional improvement looks like, 2) sources of leadership teachers look to for support, and 3) the connectivity between distributed leadership and three dimensions of teaching capacity.   This study highlights three major findings.  First, leadership is distributed formally and informally, among people and tasks.  Second, teachers seek administrators and other positional leaders for communicating expectations and providing resources. They look to informal teacher leaders within their peer groups for encouragement, practical support, and resources in areas that are more closely relate to classroom instruction.  A third major finding is that dimensions of teaching capacity could be identified in three dimensions (human capital, social capital and decision capital).      The enactment of distributed leadership has indirect, yet significant, effects on teachers. Dimension of teaching capacity can be manipulated by leadership to provide instructional support and increase teaching capacity during reform implementation.  This suggests that school leadership could identify and refine reform activities to affect teaching and learning in the classroom.

description: As Large Language Models (LLMs) are nondeterministic, the same input can generate different outputs, some of which may be incorrect or hallucinated. If run again, the LLM may correct itself and produce the correct answer. Unfortunately, most LLM-powered systems resort to single results which, correct or not, users accept. Having the LLM produce multiple outputs may help identify disagreements or alternatives. However, it is not obvious how the user will interpret conflicts or inconsistencies. To this end, we investigate how users perceive the AI model and comprehend the generated information when they receive multiple, potentially inconsistent, outputs. Through a preliminary study, we identified five types of output inconsistencies. Based on these categories, we conducted a study (N=252) in which participants were given one or more LLM-generated passages to an information-seeking question. We found that inconsistency within multiple LLM-generated outputs lowered the participants' perceived AI capacity, while also increasing their comprehension of the given information. Specifically, we observed that this positive effect of inconsistencies was most significant for participants who read two passages, compared to those who read three. Based on these findings, we present design implications that, instead of regarding LLM output inconsistencies as a drawback, we can reveal the potential inconsistencies to transparently indicate the limitations of these models and promote critical LLM usage.
