Reliability And Validity Of Izard's Differential Emotions Scale, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

Izard's Differential Emotions Scale (DES) was administered to 204 University of Delaware undergraduates under each of four imaginal mood-induction conditions (labelled: General Depression, Curiosity, Specific Depression and Anxiety) and an actual pre-exam condition. A factor analysis of DES items supported the construct validity of some subscales. A repeated-measures multiple discriminant function analysis indicated that two-thirds of the DES items discriminated between the five conditions-an extremely stringent test of item validity. It was suggested, however, that refinement of the DES should attempt to decrease item redundancy (internal consistency) by re-establishing the instrument on a broader base of adjectives descriptive of fundamental …

An Analysis Of Cropping Intensities In The Paddy Sector Of Sri Lanka, Piyasiri Wickramasekara

PIYASIRI WICKRAMASEKARA

Achievement of self-sufficiency in rice has been the avowed objective of almost all planning exercises in Sri Lanka since independence. The strategy for increasing paddy production has emphasised expansion of cultivated area as well as promotion of land productivity. Expansion of cultivated area could be achieved by bringing new land under cultivation and increasing the intensity of cropping on already cultivated land. The importance of the latter method has been recognised since the fifties but the actual achievements have been rather marginal. The rising cost of land development in recent years has highlighted the importance of this option. The objective …

Bargaining With Incomplete Information: An Infinite-Horizon Model With Two-Sided Uncertainty, Peter Cramton

Peter Cramton

The resolution of any bargaining conflict depends crucially on the relative urgency of the agents to reach agreement and the information each agent has about the others’ preferences. This paper explores, within the context of an infinite-horizon bargaining model with two-sided uncertainty, how timing and information affect the rational behavior of agents when commitment is not possible. Since the bargainers are uncertain about whether trade is desirable, they must communicate some of their private information before an agreement can be reached. This need for learning, due to incomplete information about preferences, results in bargaining inefficiencies: trade often occurs after costly …

The Biases And Mean Squared Errors Of Estimators Of Multinormal Squared Multiple Correlation, Joseph F. Lucke, Susan E. Embretson

Joseph Lucke

The sample squared multiple correlation coefficient, $R^{2}$ is known to have certain unsatisfactory properties as an estimator of the population squared multiple correlation. Hence, numerous adjusted estimators based on functions of $1-R^{2}$ have been proposed. We examine the biases and mean squared errors of five adjusted estimators as well as $R^{2}$. General results are given for estimators linear in $1-R^{2}$, and four such estimators are examined in detail. In addition, a quadratic estimator and the minimum variance unbiased estimator are examined. Comparisons among these estimators are made in terms of absolute bias and mean squared error.

La Renovación Urbana En Quito, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La conciencia de la incidencia de determinantes: sociales, económicos, culturales y políticos en la estructuración del entorno urbano, caduca la vigencia del concepto, RENOVACION URBANA como una simple intervención técnica. Así, la problemática especifica de la renovación urbana en América Latina debemos comprenderla como una particularidad de la problemática urbana de todos los países subdesarrollados y dependientes, evidenciándose lógicamente matices diferentes según el nivel de desarrollo de cada pueblo, pero las raíces son las mismas y son incuestionablemente el producto de la agresión del imperialismo, el colonialismo y el neocolonialismo que se materializa trágicamente en la dura realidad latinoamericana.

Effects On Academic Learning Of Manipulating Emotional States And Motivational Dynamics, Gregory J. Boyle

Gregory J. Boyle

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of emotionally disturbing stimuli on the learning process. A five-minute film segment depicting horrific scenes of automobile accident victims, and part of a pathologist's post-mortem of a victim, was shown to an experimental group of 69 student teachers, while a non-treatment group of 66 student teachers served as controls. The two groups were well matched on several independent variables covering the four domains of ability, personality, motivation, and mood states. The emotionally disturbing treatment produced a decrement in learning performance, but resulted in a massive 36 per cent increase in …

Library Use Patterns Among Full- And Part-Time Faculty And Students, Jo Bell Whitlatch

Jo Bell Whitlatch

Trends in higher education are toward part-time students and majors in professional fields which are associated with low library use. Research findings at San Jose State University, California and other academic libraries, demonstrate that declining library use may be a future trend. Declining use will further erode administrative support for library budgets. Libraries must become effective in identifying and meeting the information needs of new nontraditional students. User surveys establishing service priorities can be an effective tool in planning library service for future student and faculty populations.

A Theory Of Economic Loss In The Law Of Torts, Mario Rizzo

Mario Rizzo

This article contains a general theory that explains why pure economic loss ( that is, financial loss not associated with physical harm to the person or property of the plaintiff) is not to be recoverable at times and is recoverable at other times. The theory stresses the importance in the law of reducing contracting costs while still providing incentives to avoid true social costs.
