Error Detection and Response Adjustment in Youth With Mild Spastic Cerebral Palsy

2013

This study evaluated the brain activation state during error making in youth with mild spastic cerebral palsy and a peer control group while carrying out a stimulus recognition task. The key question was whether patients were detecting their own errors and subsequently improving their performance in a future trial. Findings indicated that error responses of the group with cerebral palsy were associated with weak motor preparation, as indexed by the amplitude of the late contingent negative variation. However, patients were detecting their errors as indexed by the amplitude of the response-locked negativity and thus improved their performance in a future trial. Findings suggest that the con…

Driver training interests of a Spanish sample of young drivers and its relationship with their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavi…

2013

Abstract Poor driving self-assessment skills (e.g., over-confidence) have been pointed out as an important explanatory factor behind young drivers’ accident involvement. This paper explores (1) what young drivers miss in their training as drivers in order to analyze whether an assessment of one's own driving skills plays an important role in their desire to improve as drivers, and (2) how these training interests are related to an estimate of their self-assessment skills concerning risky driving behavior. For this purpose, a study was conducted using a survey with a blocked sampling design of novice drivers. The survey solicited respondents’ self-report about (1) the contents of training co…

The “Mainzer EMF-Wachhund”: results from a watchdog project on self-reported health complaints attributed to exposure to electromagnetic fields

2006

The "Mainzer EMF-Wachhund," a watchdog project, offered a system of self-notification of health complaints attributed to exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) to a population of a part of Germany with about 4 million inhabitants. By using a self-administered questionnaire, which was provided online and for download from the Internet, 192 persons reported such health complaints in the period from October 2003 to March 2005. Of these, 56% classified themselves as electromagnetic hypersensitive (EH). Predictors of this self classification were being affected by all kinds of EMF rather than single EMF sources and being female. On average, EH subjects reported a high degree of suffering, 77…

Differentiation of Self-Assessment and objective Inequalities in the Level of Consumption of Rural Households

2017

Niniejszy artykuł jest poświęcony problematyce samooceny nierówności poziomu konsumpcji na wsi w Polsce jako podstawowej determinanty poziomu życia. Celem zaprezentowanych w nim badań była próba identyfikacji zróżnicowania subiektywnych ocen poziomu życia gospodarstw domowych na wsi oraz porównania ich z wybranymi obiektywnymi charakterystykami sytuacji materialnej tych podmiotów. Jako najbardziej reprezentatywny wskaźnik sytuacji materialnej gospodarstwa domowego przyjęto poziom wydatków konsumpcyjnych. Przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą relacji między samooceną a wydatkami konsumpcyjnymi i wybranymi charakterystykami gospodarstw zaliczanych do poszczególnych grup społeczno- -ekonomicznych…

2020

The article includes a review of the literature and a description of the empirical study aimed at comparing the average level of sense of security and of self-assessment in groups of adolescents form two- and one-parent (as a result of divorce) families. A group of 120 participants (62 W, 58 M) aged 15-17 (M = 15.87; SD = 0.88) took part in the study. Based on the data obtained in the Sense of Security Questionnaire (SSQ) and the Multidimensional Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) it was proved, that adolescents raised in one-parent families are characterized by a statistically significantly lower level of sense of security and of self-assessment than adolescents raised in two-parent famil…

Informal learning and its effects on students' graded and self-assessed proficiency in Finland

2017

Englannin, kuten muidenkin kielten oppimisessa on tärkeää, että oppilaat altistuvat autenttiselle kielelle. Pelkästään oppikirjoihin ja luokassa tapahtuvaan keskusteluun tukeutuminen ei yksin riitä. Informaali oppiminen mahdollistaa tämän helpolla tavalla: oppilaat voivat valita haluamansa viihteen muodon, ja jopa huomaamattaan oppia englantia vapaa-ajallaan. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii kartoittamaan, minkälaisia informaalin oppimisen tapoja oppilaat eniten hyödyntävät, kuinka usein ja kuinka paljon he niitä hyödyntävät, sekä miten informaali oppiminen vaikuttaa heidän itsearvioituun ja virallisesti arvosteltuun kielitaitoonsa. Aineistona tutkimuksessa käytettiin kyselyä, joka jaettiin 40:lle erää…

RESEARCHING SELF-ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

2015

In professional growth of teachers, self-assessment of the pedagogical activity is a precondition for their effective practice therefore student teachers are encouraged to carry out self-assessment of the pedagogical activity already at the beginning of their studies. In order to make self-assessment of student teachers’ pedagogical activity more productive, it is important to find out a theoretical concept of self-assessment of student teachers’ pedagogical activity and to understand what impacts self-assessment of their pedagogical activity in practice. In the due course of the analysis of the scientific literature definition and functions of self-assessment of student teachers’ pedagogic…

Development and Validation of a Self-Administered Multidimensional Prognostic Index to Predict Negative Health Outcomes in Community-Dwelling Persons

2019

The multidimensional prognostic index (MPI) is a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA)-based tool that accurately predicts negative health outcomes in older subjects with different diseases and settings. To calculate the MPI several validated tools are assessed by health care professionals according to the CGA, whereas self-reported information by the patients is not available, but it could be of importance for the early identification of frailty. We aimed to develop and validate a self-administered MPI (SELFY-MPI) in community-dwelling subjects. For this reason, we enrolled 167 subjects (mean age = 67.3, range = 20-88 years, 51% = men). All subjects underwent a CGA-based assessment to c…

Self-esteem and binge eating: Do patients with binge eating disorder endorse more negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale?

2020

Objective Self-esteem is a core aspect of eating disorder symptomatology. This study aims to examine whether method effects associated with negatively worded items of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) may interact the negative self-evaluations experienced by patients with obesity and binge eating disorder (BED). We also examined whether negatively worded items were associated with psychological distress and eating symptoms. Method Five hundred thirty three female outpatients (mean age: 42.59) with BED (n = 160) or obesity without BED (n = 373) completed the RSES and measures of interpersonal problems, psychological distress, and eating symptoms. Results Patients with BED responded more…
