School bullying as a creator of pupil peer pressure
2008
Background: Research into school bullying has a long tradition but a rather narrow scope. Many prevention programmes have been designed, but despite extensive investigation, most studies suggest that bullying is not decreasing. There is something paradoxical in this phenomenon. In order to have any real impact on some phenomena, thorough understanding is needed. What, then, is the essence of school bullying? How does it develop and how is it maintained in a community? In the present study written material and interviews concerning pupils´ experiences of bullying were used to examine how the status of the bully is created among pupils and how cultural norms and values in the community are co…
Compétences langagières acquises en milieu familial et acquisitions scolaires en cycle 2 : Le cas du créole et du français en contexte martiniquais
2006
06072 - 89 p.; Projet retenu dans l'appel à projet en 2003. ACI Ecole et Sciences cognitives (Ministère délégué à la recherche et aux nouvelles technologies); Ce projet vise en particulier à répondre à trois questions : Le niveau de langage en français des enfants créolophones est-il quantitativement et qualitativement différent des enfants de métropole ? Existe t-il une corrélation entre les compétences langagières dans l'une et l'autre langue ? Leur niveau en deux langues exerce t-il un impact sur leurs acquisitions scolaires? Avant de présenter la méthodologie de l'étude, une revue de questions et d'études en matière de bilinguisme est proposée selon deux champs disciplinaires : psycholi…
Separation of Cognitive Impairments in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Into 2 Familial Factors
2010
Contains fulltext : 89304.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) CONTEXT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with widespread cognitive impairments, but it is not known whether the apparent multiple impairments share etiological roots or separate etiological pathways exist. A better understanding of the etiological pathways is important for the development of targeted interventions and for identification of suitable intermediate phenotypes for molecular genetic investigations. OBJECTIVES: To determine, by using a multivariate familial factor analysis approach, whether 1 or more familial factors underlie the slow and variable reaction times, impaired response inhi…
Power of Paradox: Grassroots Organizations’ Legitimacy Strategies Over Time
2021
Fringe stakeholders with limited resources, such as grassroots organizations (GROs), are often ignored in business and society literature. We develop a conceptual framework and a set of propositions detailing how GROs strategically gain legitimacy and influence over time. We argue that GROs encounter specific paradoxes over the emergence, development, and resolution of an issue, and they address these paradoxes using cognitive, moral, and pragmatic legitimacy strategies. While cognitive and moral strategies tend to be used consistently, the flexible and paradoxical use of pragmatic strategies has important consequences, both for GROs’ legitimacy and for their potential influence over powerf…
P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation
2017
Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …
Contextual perceived group threat and radical right-wing populist party preferences: Evidence from Switzerland
2016
Existing studies suggest that perceived group threat is an important influence on radical right-wing populist party preferences. However, most have focused on perceived group threat at the individual level, overlooking the ideological climate. I examine how an ideological climate of group threat perception as a contextual factor can shape individual preferences for radical right-wing populist party preferences. I argue that above and beyond personal perceived group threat, the prevalence of local perceived group threat exerts a normative influence on personal preferences. Using voting preferences for the Swiss People’s Party, I employ multilevel structural equation modeling to examine the …
Benefit Incidence Analysis in Education
2007
07103; The standard benefit incidence algebra generally produces biased estimates of the distribution of public spending on education when students from poor and rich families are enrolled in schools that receive different levels of public spending per student. Except in very rare instances, removing these biases entails combining several sources of information in order to evaluate how unit spending varies across different population groups. Although such disaggregation is generally difficult to obtain, we show one way to overcome the data constraints that hinder a precise calculation of the incidence of public spending on education. The empirical example discussed in this article indicates…
Contextuality in canonical systems of random variables
2017
Random variables representing measurements, broadly understood to include any responses to any inputs, form a system in which each of them is uniquely identified by its content (that which it measures) and its context (the conditions under which it is recorded). Two random variables are jointly distributed if and only if they share a context. In a canonical representation of a system, all random variables are binary, and every content-sharing pair of random variables has a unique maximal coupling (the joint distribution imposed on them so that they coincide with maximal possible probability). The system is contextual if these maximal couplings are incompatible with the joint distributions o…
QR kodu kā tirdzniecības instrumenta atbilstība uzņēmumiem
2021
Tā kā tehnoloģija ir pārņēmusi mārketinga pasauli, visefektīvākais mārketinga veids ir mobilais mārketings, un, mainoties tendencēm, daudzi mārketinga rīki ir praktizējuši, lai sniegtu produktīvu reklāmu. QR kodi pēdējos gados ir kļuvuši par jauno mārketinga tendenci, taču problēma ir tā, vai šie QR kodi patiešām ir produktīvi viņu centienos. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt, vai uzņēmumi, kas izmanto QR kodus kā savu mārketinga rīku, var sasniegt savus mērķus vai neietekmē mārketinga shēmas, kā arī noskaidrot, vai cilvēki zina QR kodus un vai tie tos ietekmē / piesaista. Pētījuma rezultāti acīmredzami atrisina pētījuma problēmu, uzņēmumi, kas izmanto QR kodus kā mārketinga rīku, sasniedz sav…
Contextuality Analysis of the Double Slit Experiment (With a Glimpse Into Three Slits)
2018
The Contextuality-by-Default theory is illustrated on contextuality analysis of the idealized double-slit experiment. The experiment is described by a system of contextually labeled binary random variables each of which answers the question: has the particle hit the detector, having passed through a given slit (left or right) in a given state (open or closed)? This system of random variables is a cyclic system of rank 4, formally the same as the system describing the EPR/Bell paradigm with signaling. Unlike the latter, however, the system describing the double-slit experiment is always noncontextual, i.e., the context-dependence in it is entirely explainable in terms of direct influences of…
