description: Using a lattice-based Monte Carlo code for simulating self-avoiding flexible polymers in three dimensions in the absence of explicit hydrodynamics, we study their Rouse modes. For self-avoiding polymers, the Rouse modes are not expected to be statistically independent; nevertheless, we demonstrate that numerically these modes maintain a high degree of statistical independence. Based on high-precision simulation data we put forward an approximate analytical expression for the mode amplitude correlation functions for long polymers. From this, we derive analytically and confirm numerically several scaling properties for self-avoiding flexible polymers, such as (i) the real-space end-to-end distance, (ii) the end-to-end vector correlation function, (iii) the correlation function of the small spatial vector connecting two nearby monomers at the middle of a polymer, and (iv) the anomalous dynamics of the middle monomer. Importantly, expanding on our recent work on the theory of polymer translocation, we also demonstrate that the anomalous dynamics of the middle monomer can be obtained from the forces it experiences, by the use of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

title: Relation Between Child Abuse Risk and Security of Mother-Infant Attachment at One Year
Creators: name: Egan, Miriam
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: Although previous studies have shown that children who have been abused are more likely to be classified as insecurely attached to their mothers, research has not examined risk for child abuse when measured as a continuous variable in relation to security of attachment when measured as a continuous variable. This study examined the relation between risk of child abuse (as measured by the Child Abuse Potential Inventory and the Harsh Parenting Scale) and security of mother-infant attachment (as measured by the Q-sort of Infant Attachment) at 14 and 17 months. Results supported the view that there is a negative relation between these variables in a nonclinical sample drawn from the general population. Furthermore, results of exploratory analysis suggest the mother-infant attachment relationship at 14 months may act as a buffer against risk of child abuse at 17 months.

description: Der Beitrag befasst sich mit muttersprachlichen und nicht muttersprachlichen Lehrkräften, die Phonetik im Fach Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache als eigenständiges Fach oder auch als Unterrichtsprinzip vermitteln wollen, jedoch nicht selbst die Fächer Phonetik oder Sprechwissenschaft umfassend studieren konnten. Diese große Zielgruppe steht vor allem vor den schwierigen Aufgaben, die Qualität phonetischer Anteile in Lehrwerken richtig einzuschätzen, die phonetische Eigenkompetenz adäquat zu beurteilen und zu entwickeln sowie angemessene didaktische Strategien für die Vermittlung phonetischer Unterrichtsanteile zu entwerfen. Anhand von Ergebnissen aktueller Forschung und eigener Erfahrungen in diesem Weiterbildungssektor werden (insbesondere autodidaktisch basierte) Möglichkeiten zur Lösung dieser Problematik entwickelt.
Planetary effects on magnetic activity
Creators: name: Atkinson, Gerald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Statistical evidence indicates that the positions of the moon, Mercury, and Venus affect magnetic activity frequency observed at the earth, and the position of the earth affects the frequency of blue clearings on Mars. This study shows that these effects may be explained as a result of the action of shock and bow waves formed by these bodies in the supersonically streaming interplanetary plasma. The attenuation of large kinetic energy variations in the streaming plasma behind such bodies is shown to be equal to the square of the ratio of the Mach number upstream to the Mach number downstream. For typical solar induced activity, this implies an attenuation coefficient of approximately 1/2 - 1/3. It is also shown that an activity increase is expected in the bow wave. The observational data fits a model with bow waves of Mach numbers 2.5 and 15 corresponding to the two bow waves predicted by the theory. The moon's effect varies from that of the planets in a manner that can be explained by its closeness to the magnetosphere.

description: We consider a generalized model of repeated quantum interactions, where a system $\mathcal{H}$ is interacting in a random way with a sequence of independent quantum systems $\mathcal{K}_n, n \geq 1$. Two types of randomness are studied in detail. One is provided by considering Haar-distributed unitaries to describe each interaction between $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}_n$. The other involves random quantum states describing each copy $\mathcal{K}_n$. In the limit of a large number of interactions, we present convergence results for the asymptotic state of $\mathcal{H}$. This is achieved by studying spectral properties of (random) quantum channels which guarantee the existence of unique invariant states. Finally this allows to introduce a new physically motivated ensemble of random density matrices called the \emph{asymptotic induced ensemble}.
title: Cognitive Style as a Mediator of Premarital Sexual Attitudes, Motivations, and Behavior
Creators: name: Bowman, Susan Campbell
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between adolescent premarital sexual attitudes, motivations, behavior, and cognitive style (style of decision-making process). A review of the literature indicated that deviant behaviors among youth are related to one another and that they are also related to ego identity and cognitive style. No previous study had specifically examined sexual behavior, attitudes, and motivations in relation to cognitive style.
A self-report questionnaire was employed to gather information about cognitive style and sexual behaviors, attitudes, and motivations. The sample was comprised of 579 university students ages 17 to 25 from Utah and Arizona.
The dependent variables were sexual attitudes, motivations, and behaviors. The independent variable, cognitive style, was measured with Berzonsky's Cognitive Style Inventory.
As hypothesized, a notable difference was shown between the diffuse-oriented and norm-oriented youth . Diffuse-oriented individuals tended to be more sexually active and more liberal and flippant in their attitudes about this behavior, and cited more external consequences for sexual activity than norm-oriented individuals, who were more abstinent and more conservative in their attitudes. Information-oriented individuals recognized positive internal consequences for sexual behavior beyond that of the norm-oriented and diffuse-oriented. Frequency of contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents was not significantly different across the cognitive ·styles. Limitations and recommendations were discussed.

description: Es ist ja inzwischen Konsens, • dass Phonetikunterricht mehr sein muss als eine an den DaF-Unterricht angeklebte Marginalie; • dass den Fertigkeiten Hören und Sprechen Priorität gebührt vor Lesen und Schreiben; • dass die Kompetenzen mündlicher Kommunikation in Ausbildung, Beruf und Öffentlichkeit einen hohen gesellschaftlichen Nutzwert haben. Aber der Mainstream der DaF-Unterrichtspraxis – weithin eher ein Trott in traditionellen Bahnen – ist noch nicht grundlegend hin zum Besseren bewegt worden. Es geht also darum, die morphologiereiche und grammatisch komplexe Sprache Deutsch auf ihre klanglichen Dimensionen hin abzuklopfen und das erstaunlich vielfältige Material sinnvoll grammatikdidaktischen Bereichen zuzuordnen: (a) Grundmorphologie, (b) Verbgrammatik, (c) Nominalgrammatik, (d) Wortbildung, (e) Satzgrammatik, (f) Textgrammatik. Davon geht vieles sofort ins Ohr, sieht schon nach einer sicheren Grundlage für einen klanglich begründeten Grammatikunterricht aus; aber es bleiben Lücken und Gestrüppe, die sich einer klanglichen Durchdringung zu verschließen scheinen: Herausforderungen für DaF-Forschung und kreative Didaktiker. Aber schon jetzt kann ein breites Arsenal lebendiger, motivierender, ins Ohr gehender, effektiver Spielideen, Unterrichtsformen und Gestaltungselemente ausgebreitet werden.

description: Neo-classical economists have repeatedly called for the reform of land tenure arrangements in the independent states of Melanesia on the grounds that the customary ownership of land in those countries is a critical barrier to economic growth. Some, such as Helen Hughes (2003), have advocated the abolition of customary land tenures and their replacement with freehold or other forms of individual title.

description: While heating of a current carrying Ohmic conductors is an obvious consequence of the diffusive nature of the conduction in such systems, current induced cooling has been recently reported in some molecular conduction junctions. In this paper we demonstrate by simple models the possibility of cooling molecular junctions under applied bias, and discuss several mechanisms for such an effect. Our model is characterized by single electron tunneling between electrodes represented by free electron reservoirs through a system characterized by it electron levels, nuclear vibrations and their structures. We consider cooling mechasims resulting from (a) cooling of one electrode surface by tunneling induced depletion of high energy electrons; (b) cooling by coherent sub resonance electronic transport analogous to atomic laser nduced cooling and (c) the incoherent analog of process (b) - cooling by driven activated transport. The non-equilibrium Green function formulation of junction transport is used in the first two cases, while a master equation approach is applied in the analysis of the third.

title: Competence and Acceptance of Children with Developmental Disabilities: An Examination of Self-concept
Creators: name: Smith, Cindy S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship of the self-concepts of a sample of 248 children with developmental disabilities with demographic variables and measures of child functioning and family situational variables. In addition, responses on a measure of self-concept were compared with those of a normative sample provided by Harter. Results indicated that, using this measure and these populations, there were no differences in the self-concept of children with disabilities and those without disabilities. Canonical correlation analysis indicated that children's cognitive achievement and independent functioning skills were moderately related to their self-concepts, but demographic variables and family functioning explained very little of the variance of the self-concept constructs as measured here .

description: Sprechen und Sprechausdruck scheint für den Fremd-/Zweitsprachenunterricht eine wild wuchernde Pflanze zu sein, die man erst gehörig zurechtstutzen muss, um damit arbeiten zu können. In der Praxis ist es heutzutage üblich, Lernende immer wieder Sprachschablonen von sogenannten Modelldialogen monoton reproduzieren zu lassen. Der Beitrag stellt dem den Ansatz des Orchestrierten Sprechens gegenüber und zeigt, wie man Lernende zu intensivem lebendigem Sprechen bringen kann, wie man dafür sorgen kann, dass sie IM lebendigen Sprechen, durch lebendiges Sprechen ihren persönlichen Ausdruck in der anderen Sprache entwickeln und wie man das Ganze als Lehrkraft/ Dirigent zentral lenken kann. Für den Ansatz spielen Stimme, Klang, Bewegung und im Zusammenhang damit Stimmgebung, Einstimmung, Abstimmung und Herstellen von Stimmigkeit eine wichtige Rolle. Der Beitrag zeigt Etappen der Entwicklung dialogischen Sprechausdrucks sowie darauf bezogene Arbeitsweisen und Techniken. Orchestriertes Sprechen initiiert andere körperliche und klanglich-rhythmische Umgangsweisen mit Sprache/Sprachlernen, ermöglicht einen lebendig(er)en Unterricht und kann Mündlichkeit wieder zu einem gewichtigen Lern- und Gestaltungsmittel im Unterricht machen.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the relation between infrared luminosity and molecular line luminosity, for a variety of molecular transitions, using a sample of 34 nearby galaxies spanning a broad range of infrared luminosities (10^{10} < L_{IR} < 10^{12.5} L_sun). We show that the power-law index of the relation is sensitive to the critical density of the molecular gas tracer used, and that the dominant driver in observed molecular line ratios in galaxies is the gas density. As most nearby ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) exhibit strong signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their center, we revisit previous claims questioning the reliability of HCN as a probe of the dense gas responsible for star formation in the presence of AGN. We find that the enhanced HCN(1-0)/CO(1-0) luminosity ratio observed in ULIRGs can be successfully reproduced using numerical models with fixed chemical abundances and without AGN-induced chemistry effects. We extend this analysis to a total of ten molecular line ratios by combining the following transitions: CO(1-0), HCO+(1-0), HCO+(3-2), HCN(1-0), and HCN(3-2). Our results suggest that AGNs reside in systems with higher dense gas fraction, and that chemistry or other effects associated with their hard radiation field may not dominate (NGC 1068 is one exception). Galaxy merger could be the underlying cause of increased dense gas fraction and the evolutionary stage of such mergers may be another determinant of the HCN/CO luminosity ratio.

description: An explicit and simple solution representing the wormhole formation is presented. The spacetime is constructed by gluing the Minkowski and Roberts spacetimes at null hypersurfaces in a regular manner. The parameters in the Roberts solution are required to give the negative kinetic term for the massless scalar field. Although a curvature singularity appears at the moment of the wormhole formation, it disappears instantaneously. This instantaneous singularity is weak in the senses of both Tipler and Królak along radial causal geodesics.

title: Effects of Therapist Gender on Client Communications in Marital Therapy
Creators: name: Agee, Laurel C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The purpose of this study was to explore how therapist and client gender are associated with communication behaviors of males and females in marital therapy. The majority of research on therapist gender issues has been conducted with individual clients. Few data exist on the effects of therapist gender within marital therapy. This study examined the communication patterns of couples within a marital therapy setting and the influence of therapist gender on those patterns. Forty-six I 0-minute videotape segments of marital therapy were coded for communication patterns. Coded verbal statement categories included the verbal behaviors of agreement, supportive, solution of problems, and structuring. The results indicated that female clients used more problem description, solution of problem, and structuring statements than did males. In the context of marital therapy, stereotypic patterns of communication were not observed. This held true for therapists of both genders. Possible explanations include the experience of the therapists and therapist supervision.

description: Seit der empirische Nachweis erbracht worden ist, dass suprasegmentale Interferenzen die Verständlichkeit und die Akzeptanz von DaF-Lernenden am stärksten behindern (vgl. Hirschfeld 1994), sind Didaktiker, Lehrwerkautoren und Lehrende gefordert, Übungen zu den Suprasegmentalia einen vorrangigen Platz einzuräumen. Kontrastive Untersuchungen zum Sprechrhythmus (z.B. Benkwitz 2004; Moise 2004; Stock & Veličkova 2002) haben zudem gezeigt, dass dieser äußert sprachspezifisch ist, was Ausprägung und Kombination der rhythmustragenden phonetischen Mittel angeht. Es ist aber auch deutlich geworden, dass rhythmische Besonderheiten immer in Abhängigkeit von Kommunikationssituation und Textsorte zu sehen ist und dass es kaum möglich sein wird, verbindliche und lehrbare Regeln aufzustellen – zumindest vorerst noch nicht.

description: A brief summary of observational data is presented, covering the disturbances recorded within seconds of high-altitude nuclear detonations, with particular emphasis on the "phase B" signal recorded at H+2 seconds following the "Starfish" test of July 9, 1962. The salient characteristics of this signal are specified, and a number of suggested models are analysed in detail. Although no conclusive decision can be reached on the basis of presently available data, the most likely mechanism appears to be hydromagnetic waves along the field line through the detonation point, with energy conversion into electromagnetic modes at the mirror points.

description: Doping a helium nanodroplet with a tiny xenon cluster of a few atoms only, sparks complete ionization of the droplet at laser intensities below the ionization threshold of helium atoms. As a result, the intrinsically inert and transparent droplet turns into a fast and strong absorber of infrared light. Microscopic calculations reveal a two-step mechanism to be responsible for the dramatic change: Avalanche-like ionization of the helium atoms on a femtosecond time scale, driven by field ionization due to the quickly charged xenon core is followed by resonant absorption enabled by an unusual cigar-shaped nanoplasma within the droplet.

description: Conditions on a topological space $X$ under which the space $C(X,\mathbb{R})$ of continuous real-valued maps with the Isbell topology $κ$ is a topological group (topological vector space) are investigated. It is proved that the addition is jointly continuous at the zero function in $C_κ(X,\mathbb{R})$ if and only if $X$ is infraconsonant. This property is (formally) weaker than consonance, which implies that the Isbell and the compact-open topologies coincide. It is shown the translations are continuous in $C_κ(X,\mathbb{R})$ if and only if the Isbell topology coincides with the fine Isbell topology. It is proved that these topologies coincide if $X$ is prime (that is, with at most one non-isolated point), but do not even for some sums of two consonant prime spaces.

Fast alle Lehrwerke der deutschen Verlage haben inzwischen die Bedeutung der Phonetik entdeckt und enthalten mehr Übungen zum Hören (z.B. Lautdiskriminierung und Unterscheidungen unterschiedlicher Satzmelodien) und (Aus)Sprechen von Segmentalia und Suprasegmentalia. Ob diese Zunahme an Quantität auch mit einer Zunahme an Qualität der Darstellung und Übungstypologie einhergeht, wird an diesen drei Lehrwerken exemplarisch zu klären sein.

description: Wireless Sensor Networks is important to nodes energy consumption for long activity of sensor nodes because nodes that compose sensor network are small size, and battery capacity is limited. For energy consumption decrease of sensor nodes, sensor networks routing technique is divided by flat routing and hierarchical routing technique. Specially, hierarchical routing technique is energy efficient routing protocol to pare down energy consumption of whole sensor nodes and to scatter energy consumption of sensor nodes by forming cluster and communicating with cluster head. but though hierarchical routing technique based on clustering is advantage more than flat routing technique, this is not used for reason that is not realistic. The reason that is not realistic is because hierarchical routing technique does not consider data transmission radius of sensor node in actually. so this paper propose realistic routing technique base on clustering.

description: The sensor network is a network technique for the implementation of Ubiquitous computing environment. It is wireless network environment that consists of the many sensors of lightweight and low power. Though sensor network provides various capabilities, it is unable to ensure the secure authentication between nodes. Eventually it causes the losing reliability of the entire network and many secure problems. Therefore, encryption algorithm for the implementation of reliable sensor network environments is required to the applicable sensor network. In this paper, we proposed the solution of reliable sensor network to analyze the communication efficiency through measuring performance of AES encryption algorithm by plaintext size, and cost of operation per hop according to the network scale.

description: positron beams in the energy range tens of MeV-750 MeV in a wide range of intensity, from 1 up to 10^10 particles per pulse. The pulse rate is 50Hz. This paper describes the implementation of two types of high granularity silicon beam monitors: two pairs of silicon strip detectors readout by single particle ASICs for the low multiplicity range  (1-100 particles)  and a silicon strip detector with charge integrating electronics to cover the remaining range (100-10^10). Both the silicon detectors are characterized by large dimensions (up to 9.5x9.5 cm^2) and a granularity in the 100μm range. The paper describes the two systems and the results obtained during several dedicated runs.
title: Knowledge of Infant/Toddler Development Among Low-Income Families
Creators: name: Parkinson, Ann B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: Pretest data from a two-year project entitled "An Early Intervention Program for Parents of Young Children at-Risk" were collected and analyzed, in a sample of 2,191 low-income parents, for Head Start participation and baseline information. Respondents participating in the sample were from the states of California, Delaware, Nevada, South Carolina, and Utah. For their participation in the study, respondents received a free subscription to age-paced newsletters, which contained information about appropriate growth expectancies, nutrition, and guidance for their child of 36 months or younger. Newsletters were mailed monthly to parents who had children 12 months and younger and every other month to parents with children older than 12 months.
Knowledge of infant/toddler development among Head Start and non-Head Start parents was measured by i-test comparisons. Univariate analysis of demographic influences on developmental knowledge was computed by a oneway ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients. Demographic variables measured were state of residence, race, educational level, marital status, employment status, attitude, income level, number of children, supplemental programs, and age of parent.
Findings revealed that Head start parents did not have a significantly greater knowledge of infant/toddler development than non-Head start parents who had more than one child. Developmental knowledge scores were higher for Head start parents than non-Head start first-time parents. All participating Head start parents had at least two children, one in the Head start program and one other child 25 months or younger. There were differences in developmental knowledge scores by state of residence, race, educational level, marital status, and employment status. Demographic variables found to have a positive correlation with developmental knowledge scores were attitude, income level, number of children, and age of parents. There was a negative correlation with the effect of supplemental programs. Programs tested for this effect were AFDC, Food stamps, Medicaid, WIC, Social Security, and Head Start. A greater proportion of Head Start parents participated in these income-assistance programs, which may have influenced their scores for child development knowledge.

description: This study investigated the quality and quantity of sexual communication between teens and parents in relation to the teens' sexual intentions. Perceptions about communication were examined of parents and adolescents of both genders separately. Both same- and cross-gender effects of parental communication on adolescent sexual intent ions were explored. Approximately 290 families (target teen and parent) were measured in pre- and posttests. Parents perceived higher quality communication with teens than teens did, but not necessarily more frequent sexual communication. As teens' perceptions of quality of communication with mother and father went up, teens' sexual intentions went down. The higher sons' intention toward early sexual involvement, the more often sons perceived that their parents talked with them about sexual issues. Daughters who perceived more sexual communication with parents at Time 1 reported higher sexual intentions at Time 2. Fathers perceived that as quality and frequency of communication with daughter went up, the daughter's sexual intentions also went up. Fathers perceived that as frequency of communication with all teens went up, the teen's sexual intentions also went up. Mothers perceived that the higher the quality of communication with sons at Time 1, the higher the sexual intentions among sons at Time 2. The more often mothers perceived that their daughters talked with them about sexual issues at Time 1, the higher the daughters' intention toward early sexual involvement at Time 2. The more the discrepancy between teens and fathers and mothers about communication quality, the more the adolescents' intention toward early sexual involvement.

description: We discuss the construction of higher-dimensional surfaces based on the harmonic maps of $S^2$ into $CP^{N-1}$ and other grassmannians. We show that there are two ways of implementing this procedure - both based on the use of the relevant projectors. We study various properties of such projectors and show that the Gaussian curvature of these surfaces, in general, is not constant. We look in detail at the surfaces corresponding to the Veronese sequence of such maps and show that for all of them this curvature is constant but its value depends on which mapping is used in the construction of the surface.
title: The Perceived Influence of Mobile Telework on Aspects of Work Life and Family Life: An Exploratory Study

description: Telework is an emerging trend in the workplace today. According to recent estimates, almost nine million Americans work electronically from home and this number is expected to grow 10% to 20% per year for the next decade. The purpose of this study is to explore the perceived influence of mobile telework on aspects of work life and family life. A group of mobile teleworkers and an equivalent group of nonmobile workers were asked to respond to questions about their work life and family life (N=299). The data were analyzed from four perspectives: (a) comparison of mobile teleworker and nonmobile groups, (b) comparison of mobile teleworker subgroups, (c) perceptions of mobile teleworkers themselves, and (d) thematic content analysis of write-in comments. Results from all four data perspectives pointed to the positive influence of mobile telework on most aspects of work life. The exploratory data suggested that productivity/job effectiveness, morale/organizational commitment, and customer relationships were all perceived to have been positively influenced by mobile telework. This perceived positive influence was particularly pronounced for mobile teleworkers who had a dedicated home office with a door. In contrast, the data pointed to a neutral or negative perceived influence of mobile telework on company relationships, especially camaraderie. Exploratory data about the perceived influence of mobile telework on aspects of family life were also generally positive. However, the strength of this perceived influence was less than the influence reported on aspects of work. Though mobile teleworkers reported much greater flexibility in the timing and location of work, they did not report having an easier time balancing work life and family life. In write-in comments, some mobile teleworkers reported they were thriving because of the flexibility to balance their lives. Others reported they were struggling because flexibility blurred the boundaries between work life and family life. Overall, the perceived influence of mobile telework on home chores/child care, family relationships, and personal factors was somewhat positive, but generally weak. Parents with preschool-aged children reported a more positive influence on these aspects of family life. From this exploratory study it appears that, on the whole, mobile telework can positively influence aspects of both work life and family life. However, there are also potential pitfalls which must be dealt with if a mobile telework program is to be successful. Sound program design and training for employees and leaders are seen as essential and some suggestions are offered. The study of mobile telework is in its infancy, and additional research is needed to understand bow this new work form may influence aspects of the work/family interface.
title: Identity Style, Substance Use, and Perceived Family Functioning Among Young Adults: An Exploratory Study
Creators: name: Forthun, Larry F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: One hundred eight individuals between the ages of 17 and 25 completed measures assessing identity style, family functioning, and substance use. Fifty-seven respondents were evaluated as they were applying for services at a local substance abuse treatment center. Fifty-one respondents were surveyed from a local university general education class.
The identity style construct is a self-report measure that evaluates the problem-solving and decision -making strategies of respondents. These constructs echo Marcia's identity statuses with the Normative and Diffuse/Avoidant subscales being utilized in this study. Family functioning was also assessed by self-report and evaluated overall family functioning. A factor analysis of the substance use measure resulted in two factors that were defined as Gateway drugs (alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana) and Illicit Substances (cocaine, hallucinogens, etc.) and were assessed as either use or nonuse during the last 4 weeks.
Findings support the identity developmental paradigm of problem behavior and suggest that Normative-oriented respondents reported less use of Gateway Drugs and more functional family attributes. Conversely, the Diffuse/Avoidant-oriented respondents reported more use of substances and less functional family attributes.
Difficulties in measurement are presented as well as suggestions for family-based intervention strategies designed to reduce young adult substance use and abuse.
title: A Comparison of Two Self-Conception Disparity Methods as Operationalized within an Adolescent Population
Creators: name: Stuart, Diane Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: It is posited that self-conception disparity is the amount of difference between an individual's ideal self-conception and his or her real self-conception. Such a postulation arises directly from the literature wherein the self-concept is conceptualized as a multitude of self-conceptions an individual has. During the evaluative phase (i.E., the comparison of the ideal self-conception against the real self-conception), an image (self-image) of one's self is evoked. This self-image is associated with an affective response referred to as self-Esteem.
Two methods of computing self-conception disparity are compared and contrasted: (a) the often-used subtraction-Absolute Value Method and (b) a ratio method based on the work of James (1890) conceptualizing self esteem as the quotient of one's successes to his or her pretensions.
Results of the study indicate that the two methods share only a minimal amount of common variance, thus suggesting that they are either not measuring what they purport or that they may be accounting for different phenomena relative to self-esteem. In comparing the two methods for their ability to predict common external variables that have been correlated with self-esteem, the results indicate that the Ratio Method accounts for a greater proportion of the variance than does the Subraction-Absolute Value Formula.
While more research is certainly needed to ferret out the question regarding which method of calculating self-conception disparity is of greatest utility, the results of this study suggest that the Ratio Method appears to lend itself more accurately to conceptualizing the nature of self-conception disparity.
