title: Parents' experiences as participants in a parent education program

Subjects: Parenting -- Study and teaching

description: This purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the experiences of parents who participated in a parent education program offered through a school district in one western state. Consistent with the purpose, this study employed qualitative research design and methods. Qualitative interviews with 12 parent participants were the primary means of data collection. Two general research questions guided the study: What were parents' perceptions of the nature of their experiences in parent educations programs? What were parents' perceptions of the academic and social impact of the parent education program on their family? Data analysis utilized a "constant comparative" process that resulted in four themes organized into three major categories related to parent commitment to the program: Establishing the commitment, sustaining the commitment, and realizing the commitment. Additionally, a recursive relationship was discovered; the analysis suggested that parents' commitment to the program was integrally connected to their belief that "I am my child's first and best teacher." In turn, participation in the program supported and enhanced this belief. This recursive relationship is the fourth and final theme. This study is significant in that it contributes practical and substantive knowledge to districts about designing and conducting early learning parent education programs from the parents' perspectives. Conclusions and implications resulting from the study may be useful to educators seeking policies and practices to implement effective parent education programs that guide parents to prepare their children academically and socially for kindergarten. The results of this study may also provide useful insights for parents who may lack birth-to-five developmental knowledge and are unsure about exactly what and how to teach their children

description: The combination of large spontaneous polarization and fluidity makes the newly discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phase (NF) responsive to electric fields in ways that have no counterpart in other materials. We probe this sensitive field response by confining a NF fluid in microchannels that connect electrodes through straight and curved paths. We find that by applying electric fields as low as E c.a. 0.5 V/mm, the NF phase orders with its polarization smoothly following the winding paths of the channels even when oriented antiparallel to the line connecting positive to negative electrodes, implying analogous behavior of the electric field. Upon inversion of E, the polar order undergoes a complex multistage switching process dominated by electrostatic interactions. Multistage polarization switching dynamics is also found in numerical simulations of a quasi-2D continuum model of NF liquid crystals in microchannels, which also clarify the conditions under which the electric field is guided by the microchannels. Experiments and theory indicate that all observations are direct consequences of the prompt effective screening of electric field components normal to the channel walls. This electric "superscreening" effect emerges as a distinctive property of the NF phase, capable of inducing conditions in which both the polarization and the electric field are guided by microchannels.

Abstract
A once-daily tablet formulation (Isentress® HD; Isentress® 600 mg) of the integrase strand transfer inhibitor raltegravir is now available for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The 600 mg tablet has improved bioavailability versus the existing twice-daily 400 mg tablet (due, at least in part, to differences in tablet dissolution) and the recommended dosage is 1200 mg (i.e. two 600 mg tablets) once daily. In combination with emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in treatment-naïve adults, once-daily raltegravir 1200 mg provided virological suppression non-inferior to that seen with twice-daily raltegravir 400 mg over 48 and 96 weeks in the phase 3 ONCEMRK trial. The once-daily raltegravir regimen was also generally well tolerated in this study, displaying a tolerability profile similar to that of the twice-daily regimen. The once-daily tablet simplifies and improves the convenience of raltegravir regimens, although its impact on adherence has yet to be determined. Thus, once-daily raltegravir tablets are a convenient alternative to twice-daily raltegravir tablets for the treatment of HIV-1, further expanding the therapeutic options available to meet the diverse needs of this patient population.

description: We propose an experimental design for universal continuous-variable quantum computation that incorporates recent innovations in linear-optics-based continuous-variable cluster state generation and cubic-phase gate teleportation. The first ingredient is a protocol for generating the bilayer-square-lattice cluster state (a universal resource state) with temporal modes of light. With this state, measurement-based implementation of Gaussian unitary gates requires only homodyne detection. Second, we describe a measurement device that implements an adaptive cubic-phase gate, up to a random phase-space displacement. It requires a two-step sequence of homodyne measurements and consumes a (non-Gaussian) cubic-phase state.

description: Recently it has been shown that the evolution of open quantum systems may be ``unraveled'' into individual ``trajectories,'' providing powerful numerical and conceptual tools. In this letter we use quantum trajectories to study mesoscopic systems and their classical limit. We show that in this limit, Quantum Jump (QJ) trajectories approach a diffusive limit very similar to the Quantum State Diffusion (QSD) unraveling. The latter follows classical trajectories in the classical limit. Hence, both unravelings show the rise of classical orbits. This is true for both regular and chaotic systems (which exhibit strange attractors).

description: In this work, we study the effects of feature-based explanations on distributive fairness of AI-assisted decisions, specifically focusing on the task of predicting occupations from short textual bios. We also investigate how any effects are mediated by humans' fairness perceptions and their reliance on AI recommendations. Our findings show that explanations influence fairness perceptions, which, in turn, relate to humans' tendency to adhere to AI recommendations. However, we see that such explanations do not enable humans to discern correct and incorrect AI recommendations. Instead, we show that they may affect reliance irrespective of the correctness of AI recommendations. Depending on which features an explanation highlights, this can foster or hinder distributive fairness: when explanations highlight features that are task-irrelevant and evidently associated with the sensitive attribute, this prompts overrides that counter AI recommendations that align with gender stereotypes. Meanwhile, if explanations appear task-relevant, this induces reliance behavior that reinforces stereotype-aligned errors. These results imply that feature-based explanations are not a reliable mechanism to improve distributive fairness.

description: We analyze topological objects in pure gluonic $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory and compute correlation functions between instantons and monopoles. Concerning the instantons we use geometric and field theoretic definitions of the topological charge. On a $12^3\times 4$ lattice it turns out that topological quantities have a non-trivial local correlation. The auto-correlation functions of the topological charge depend on cooling for both definitions. We fit the correlation functions to exponentials and obtain screening masses.

Reproductive strategies of females in the red-backed fairy wren (Malurus melanocephalus)
Creators: name: Ramos, Claire Willow Varian
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Fairy wrens -- Reproduction

description: When females are limited in the quantity of offspring they can produce, one way they can improve their reproductive success is by increasing offspring quality. Here we examine two ways in which females red-backed fairy-wrens may produce higher quality offspring, first through sex ratio manipulation, and second through choice of extra-pair mates. If one sex of offspring has a greater chance of surviving and reproducing then females benefit if they preferentially produce that sex. Depending on the benefit provided by auxiliary helpers, females in cooperatively breeding species may either prefer to produce the helping sex, in order to gain their assistance with future reproduction, or the dispersing sex, in order to avoid local competition between relatives. In the red-backed fairy-wren we found that females gain little or no fitness benefit from auxiliary males and accordingly females with auxiliaries tend to produce broods biased towards the dispersing sex. Further, the population wide primary sex ratio is biased towards the dispersing sex. Extra-pair mating is another way that females may increase the quality of their offspring. However, because the benefits of extra-pair mating are indirect, if large direct costs are associated with this behavior, it cannot evolve as an adaptive female strategy. In the red-backed fairy-wren we found little or no cost associated with extra-pair mating. This suggests that indirect benefits to females may partially drive the evolution of extra-pair mating. One benefit that females may gain is through extra-pair mating is increased offspring heterozygosity. This may be particularly important when dispersal is limited and inbreeding is common. We found that female red-backed fairy-wrens who produce extra-pair offspring are more related to their social mates than those who do not and that extra-pair offspring are more heterozygous than within-pair offspring. Further, an experimental test shows that females paired to closely related males produce a greater proportion of extra-pair young than those paired to unrelated males. Thus there appear to be several behaviors female red-backed fairy-wrens use to increase offspring quality.

description: We promote the open-closed string map, originally formulated by Seiberg \& Witten, to a solution generating prescription in generalized supergravity. The approach hinges on a knowledge of an antisymmetric bivector $Θ$, built from antisymmetric products of Killing vectors, which is specified by the equations of motion. In the cases we study, the equations of motion reproduce the Classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) and $Θ$ is the most general $r$-matrix solution. Our work generalizes Yang-Baxter deformations to non-coset spaces and unlocks gravity as a means to classify $r$-matrix solutions to the CYBE.

Subjects: Aggressiveness in adolescence -- Research

description: This research focuses on a detailed exploration of late onset offending. Using the National Youth Survey (NYS) I seek to answer three questions. First, is late onset offending a real phenomenon, second, if late onset does exist, is the evidence for it conditioned by how we define crime and delinquency? Finally, is late onset offending an artifact of measurement methodology? Most literature evidencing late onset relies on official police contact and arrest data. Propensity or control theories in general posit that late onset should not exist. Propensity, namely self-control, should be instilled early in life and if absent, result in early initiation into crime and delinquency. Research in developmental psychology seems to support this notion. The findings from this study indicate that late onset offending is almost nonexistent when self-reported measures are used leading one to conclude that contemporary evidence for late onset is heavily conditioned by how we measure crime and delinquency. A comprehensive discussion includes future directions for research, implications for theory development and methodology, and policy implications.
Does articulatory suppression eliminate the effect of phonological similarity on choice reaction time task performance?
Creators: name: Van 'T Wout, Félice
Publisher: name: PsychArchives
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 150

description: Recent studies have found that participants make more errors on choice reaction time tasks, when a verbal distractor task (compared to a non-verbal distractor task) was performed during the instruction phase (e.g., Van 't Wout & Jarrold, 2022, 2023). These findings suggest that language aids the acquisition of newly instructed stimulus-response rules. However, it remains unknown what processes support the acquisition of stimulus-response rules in the verbal distractor task condition. One possibility is that participants rely on non-verbal strategies in the verbal distractor task condition. Another possibility that is participants continue to engage in (but less efficiently so) phonological recoding in the verbal distractor task condition. To examine the latter possibility, this study will manipulate both the distractor task type (verbal or non-verbal, cf. Van 't Wout & Jarrold, 2022), and the phonological similarity of the stimulus names in a task (similar or this similar, cf. Monsell & Graham, 2021). If participants rely on non-verbal strategies in the verbal distractor task condition, then there should be no effect of phonological similarity in that condition (but such an effect should still be found in the non-verbal distractor task condition). On the other hand, if participants do adopt a verbal strategy/engage in phonological recoding in the verbal distractor task condition, then a significant effect of phonological similarity would be present in that condition. In that case, it is possible that the effect of phonological similarity is smaller in the verbal distractor task condition compared to the non-verbal distractor task condition, if the execution of a verbal distractor task interferes with (but does not obliterate) the use of phonological recoding (Norris et al., 2018).
Molecular mechanisms of sex determination and testis differentiation

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Genetic sex determination

description: Decreasing sperm counts in human populations over the last century is a trend of increasing concern. Several recent studies have shown that embryonic environment and exposures can lead to adult onset and trans-generational disease including reduced sperm count and motility in rodent models. To better understand how atypical sexual development can lead to reduced fertility, it is critical to determine the mechanisms of the SRY directed program of male sexual differentiation, its disruption, and the fetal basis of adult onset disease. In this thesis, the mechanisms involved in mammalian testis development are investigated. Transcriptional regulation during sexual differentiation was investigated using a genomic microarray approach to determine how transcriptional and morphological events are orchestrated. Cellular pathways and processes affected by genes regulated in testis differentiation included Wnt and Notch signaling, cellular differentiation, proliferation, focal contact, RNA localization, and development. Transcriptional alterations of testis differentiation by the fungicide vinclozolin were also investigated using a microarray approach to identify candidate mechanisms of action leading to adult onset and trans-generational transmission of disease. The genes and processes affected suggest apoptosis and vascular formation may be affected by vinclozolin treatment and transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms may be important for mediation of affects seen with vinclozolin treatment. These studies have identified many new candidate genes with known functions that suggest roles which may help to fill in gaps in the understanding of testis development and its disruption leading to adult onset trans-generational disease. To connect candidate genes and processes in the sex determination cascade to one another, their regulation and function will also need to be studied. In this thesis, Nt3 transcriptional activation was investigated as a direct target of SRY action. Results show SRY and SOX9 have the ability to activate the Nt3 promoter in a site specific manner providing preliminary evidence that it may be one of the missing links directly downstream of Sry for induction of male sex determination. The sum of work in this thesis has contributed to the understanding of functional and disrupted sex determination and testis development. These studies have significantly contributed to information on gene regulation during sex determination and provide multiple new candidate genes.

description: The revival structure of Stark wave packets is considered. These wave packets have energies depending on two quantum numbers and are characterized by two sets of classical periods and revival times. The additional time scales result in revival structures different from those of free Rydberg wave packets. We show that Stark wave packets can exhibit fractional revivals. We also show that these wave packets exhibit particular features unique to the Stark effect. For instance, the wave functions can be separated into distinct sums over even and odd values of the principal quantum number. These even and odd superpositions interfere in different ways, which results in unexpected periodicities in the interferograms of Stark wave packets.

description: MRD codes are maximum codes in the rank-distance metric space on $m$-by-$n$ matrices over the finite field of order $q$. They are diameter perfect and have the cardinality $q^{m(n-d+1)}$ if $m\ge n$. We define switching in MRD codes as replacing special MRD subcodes by other subcodes with the same parameters. We consider constructions of MRD codes admitting such switching, including punctured twisted Gabidulin codes and direct-product codes. Using switching, we construct a huge class of MRD codes whose cardinality grows doubly exponentially in $m$ if the other parameters ($n$, $q$, the code distance) are fixed. Moreover, we construct MRD codes with different affine ranks and aperiodic MRD codes.

description: We explore the quantum metrology in an optical molecular system coupled to two environments with different temperatures, using a quantum master equation beyond secular approximation. We discover that the steady-state coherence originating from and sustained by the nonequilibrium condition can enhance quantum metrology. We also study the quantitative measures of the nonequilibrium condition in terms of the curl flux, heat current and entropy production at the steady state. They are found to grow with temperature difference. However, an apparent paradox arises considering the contrary behaviors of the steady-state coherence and the nonequilibrium measures in relation to the inter-cavity coupling strength. This paradox is resolved by decomposing the heat current into a population part and a coherence part. Only the latter, coherence heat current, is tightly connected to the steady-state coherence and behaves similarly with respect to the inter-cavity coupling strength. Interestingly, the coherence heat current flows from the low-temperature reservoir to the high-temperature reservoir, opposite to the direction of the population heat current. Our work offers a viable way to enhance quantum metrology for open quantum systems through steady-state coherence sustained by the nonequilibrium condition, which can be controlled and manipulated to maximize its utility. The potential applications go beyond quantum metrology and extend to areas such as device designing, quantum computation and quantum technology in general.

Essays on modeling limited dependent variables applied to industrial organization and labor markets

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: College teachers -- Retirement -- United States

description: My dissertation research includes three essays that utilize limited dependent modeling applied to problems in industrial organization and labor markets. The first one asks what affects child care providers' duration of employment. The child care industry commonly experiences difficulties in retaining employees. The extremely high employee turnover rate is a threat to quality of care. The data used in this analysis is from surveys by participating child care center directors regarding both individual employees and child care center characteristics. Factors considered include an employee's wages, benefits, position description, age-group assignment, education, center characteristics, and other employee demographic variables. The second paper in this dissertation examines the retirement decisions of university faculty. Approximately one-half of all U.S. faculty in higher education are older than 50 years, and more than two-thirds of payrolls are tied up with these faculty. Since the removal of mandatory faculty retirement in 1994, it is difficult to make precise predictions of when an individual faculty member will retire. This study investigates the phased retirement decisions of faculty using survey data. The estimation results suggest that investment in social security decreases the likelihood of acceptance of early phased retirement programs. This analysis has important implications for both individual faculty members and the University as an employer. The third paper provides a new explanation for the existence of quantity surcharges that occur in some food products. Quantity surcharges occur when a larger sized package of a product has a higher per-unit price then its smaller-sized counterpart. I hypothesize that different size the same product are imperfect substitutes and thus are differentiated products. To test this hypothesis, I utilize grocery store scanner data with canned tuna of varying sizes. I estimate the demand for each type of tuna and the associated cross-price elasticities. A random coefficients logit demand approach to calculate elasticities. There is evidence to support the hypothesis that quantity surcharges in canned tuna are driven by firms catering to heterogeneous consumer preferences. All the three papers are presented as separate chapters in this dissertation.

description: The extended Fisher--Kolmogorov (EFK) equation has been used to describe some phenomena in physical, material and biology systems. In this paper, we propose a full-rank splitting scheme and a rank-adaptive splitting approach for this equation. We first use a finite difference method to approximate the space derivatives. Then, the resulting semi-discrete system is split into two stiff linear parts and a nonstiff nonlinear part. This leads to our full-rank splitting scheme. The convergence and the maximum principle of the proposed scheme are proved rigorously. Based on the frame of the full-rank splitting scheme, a rank-adaptive splitting approach for obtaining a low-rank solution of the EFK equation. Numerical examples show that our methods are robust and accurate. They can also preserve energy dissipation and the discrete maximum principle.

description: We present a short review of our most recent high statistics lattice determinations in the HQET of the following important parameters in B physics: the B--meson binding energy, $\overlineΛ$ and the kinetic energy of the b quark in the B meson, $λ_1$, which due to the presence of power divergences require a non--perturbative renormalization to be defined; the $\overline{MS}$ running mass of the b quark, $\overline{m}_{b}(\overline{m}_{b})$; the $B^{*}$--$B$ mass splitting, whose value in the HQET is determined by the matrix element of the chromo--magnetic operator between B meson states, $λ_2$; the B parameter of the $B^{0}$--$\bar{B}^{0}$ mixing, $B_{B}$, and the decay constant of the B meson, $f_{B}$. All these quantities have been computed using a sample of $600$ gauge field configurations on a $24^{3}\times 40$ lattice at $β=6.0$. For $\overlineΛ$ and $\overline{m}_{b}(\overline{m}_{b})$, we obtain our estimates by combining results from three independent lattice simulations at $β=6.0$, $6.2$ and $6.4$ on the same volume.

Extremely fast simulations of heat transfer in fluidized beds

description: Besides their huge technological importance, fluidized beds have attracted a large amount of research because they are perfect playgrounds to investigate highly dynamic particulate flows. Their over-all behavior is determined by short-lasting particle collisions and the interaction between solid and gas phase. Modern simulation techniques that combine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element methods (DEM) are capable of describing their evolution and provide detailed information on what is happening on the particle scale. However, these approaches are limited by small time steps and large numerical costs, which inhibits the investigation of slower long-term processes like heat transfer or chemical conversion. In a recent study (Lichtenegger and Pirker, 2016), we have introduced recurrence CFD (rCFD) as a way to decouple fast from slow degrees of freedom in systems with recurring patterns: A conventional simulation is carried out to capture such coherent structures. Their re-appearance is characterized with recurrence plots that allow us to extrapolate their evolution far beyond the simulated time. On top of these predicted flow fields, any passive or weakly coupled process can then be investigated at fractions of the original computational costs. Here, we present the application of rCFD to heat transfer in a lab-scale fluidized bed. Initially hot particles are fluidized with cool air and their temperature evolution is recorded. In comparison to conventional CFD-DEM, we observe speed-up factors of about two orders of magnitude at very good accuracy with regard to recent measurements.

Prior inquiries into this area have argued that security regimes are difficult to establish; however since the establishment of the NBC regimes, they have had a significant impact on these issue areas. This study takes regime theory further by investigating the effectiveness of the NBC regimes using a structured, focused comparison of the three cases. This in-depth comparison further reinforced that the nonproliferation regimes have had a positive impact in slowing the pace of proliferation in these areas. In addition, the chemical weapons regime demonstrated that its challenges verifying the transfer of scheduled chemicals and their related materials, and the even enforcement of policy call into question the regimes long-term ability to successfully carry out its mandate. The assessment of the nuclear nonproliferation regime demonstrated that over time states can lose faith in a regime if some portions of its mandate are carried out more fully than others. Finally, analysis of the biological weapons regime revealed that a lack of confidence in state adherence to the regime coupled with the absence of structure which can validate information leads to an organization which is unable to provide its members with the promise of security. Overall, these findings challenge the theoretical application of regimes within an important area of international policymaking.

description: This Second World War Story begins in 1940, when Jozef Soczawa joined a partisan group that would support the Polish military. Partisans would blow up bridges or train tracks. My grandad would hide during the day in the woods and at night would come back home at night. Jozef Soczawa was on the Nazi wanted list and hunted. Sometimes he would hide in a tight space between two walls and he had to hop in through the attic floorboards. He also had to hide in a stack of hay.

description: In binary cascade dynamics, the nodes of a graph are in one of two possible states (inactive, active), and nodes in the inactive state make an irreversible transition to the active state, as soon as their precursors satisfy a predetermined condition. We introduce a set of recursive equations to compute the probability of reaching any final state, given an initial state, and a specification of the transition probability function of each node. Because the naive recursive approach for solving these equations takes factorial time in the number of nodes, we also introduce an accelerated algorithm, built around a breath-first search procedure. This algorithm solves the equations as efficiently as possible, in exponential time.

description: This dissertation explores organizational narratives of engagement initiatives involving two comprehensive universities and the larger regional communities they serve. The purpose of this study is to develop a holistic description of engagement initiatives, reflecting data collected through interviews, documents and other artifacts from representatives of community and university, including residents, civic leaders, university faculty and administrators, elected officials, community and non-profit organizations and businesses. Using case studies of the University of Central Oklahoma and Lewis-Clark State College, this research explores the interaction of each institution with the regional community it serves. Utilizing narrative analysis techniques and portraiture methodology to explore the complexities of these relationships, I identified four layers in the data. Portraits of the two regional institutions explore each layer individually. Layer 1 is an overview of the community, the university), and the engagement initiatives, followed by the narrative of engagement which frames the initiatives in Layer 2. The third layer places engagement as product and reflection of cultural, historical and social events in a particular place. Layer 4 juxtaposes these narratives with the theoretical framework. In uncovering these layers, the dissertation breaks new ground in the scholarship related to community-university engagement, demonstrating the importance of place in producing the terms of this interaction. The findings can be read in two ways: for what they tell us about economic development as engagement in comprehensive colleges and universities; and as an example of a methodological approach which emphasizes the simultaneous existence of multiple layers in narrative data. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of community-university interaction shaped by place and by power as evidenced in the two portrait/case studies, and offers recommendations to advance community involvement in engagement initiatives, as well as the practice, scholarship related to, and theorizing of community-university engagement. The final chapter of the dissertation serves two purposes: first, it contributes to an understanding of community-university interaction as shaped by place and by power; and then, offers new perspectives on engagement based on a spatialized, or place-based, reading of Bourdieu's treatment of power functioning in social fields that can advance theory, practice and scholarship in this area.
Quantum jumps in hydrogen-like systems

description: In this paper it is shown that the Lyman-$α$ transition of a single hydrogen-like system driven by a laser exhibits macroscopic dark periods, provided there exists an additional constant electric field. We describe the photon-counting process under the condition that the polarization of the laser coincides with the direction of the constant electric field. The theoretical results are given for the example of $^4{He}^+$. We show that the emission behavior depends sensitively on the Lamb shift (W.E. Lamb, R.C. Retherford, Phys. Rev. 72, 241 (1947)) between the $2s_{1/2}$ and $2p_{1/2}$ energy levels. A possibly realizable measurement of the mean duration of the dark periods should give quantitative information about the above energy difference by using the proposed photon-counting process.

description: The spontaneous symmetry breaking of a continuous symmetry in complex field theory at the exceptional point of the parameter space is known to exhibit interesting phenomena, such as the breakdown of a Higgs mechanism. In this work, we derive the complex Ginzburg-Landau model from a non-Hermitian two-band BCS model via path integral and investigate its spontaneous symmetry breaking. We find that analog to the Higgs mechanism, the Meissner effect of the complex Ginzburg-Landau model also breaks down at the exceptional point while the gap parameters stay finite.

description: The aim of this dissertation is to explore the effectiveness of a mission critical activity within information systems development (ISD) - requirements elicitation (RE). The dissertation presents three articles that represent research conducted to explore and add to the cumulative knowledge about this important phenomenon in field of information systems. The first article takes an inductive Grounded Theoretical approach to build a process theory of requirements elicitation based on qualitative data obtained from a multinational information services organization. The process theory is embedded within a framework of knowledge transfer mechanisms and elaborates in depth the manner in which RE unfolds in multiple collaborative states between the diverse stakeholders of this process. The theoretical perspectives also provides a set of enablers and inhibitors that facilitate or impede the RE process. The second article focuses on one of the most critical actors of the requirements elicitation process and proposes a contingent theoretical model for understanding system analyst effectiveness. Specifically the article conceptualizes and elaborates on the nature of a gestalt fit construct analyst-problem fit. In addition the article also presents an illustrative strategy of how the gestalt fit perspective may be used to resource systems analysts to information systems projects. The third essay employs an innovative role-play simulation involving business students to provide empirical justification of the contingent gestalt fit based theory of analyst effectiveness. The findings of this study provide indications that analyst effectiveness is indeed contingent on analyst-problem fit. The findings of this study also results in an extension of analyst-problem fit, where the importance of consistency in level analyst capability dimension is emphasized. Overall the empirical findings suggest that a satisficing sufficiency-based strategy may be an effective approach for organizations to optimize their resource allocation issues.
