The “What” and “Why” of Goal Pursuits: Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior

by Edward L. Deci, Richard M. Ryan , 2000
"... Self-determination theory (SDT) maintains that an understanding of human motiva-tion requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, auton-omy, and relatedness. We discuss the SDT concept of needs as it relates to previous need theories, emphasizing that needs specify the nece ..."

the necessary conditions for psycholog-ical growth, integrity, and well-being. This concept of needs leads to the hypotheses that different regulatory processes underlying goal pursuits are differentially associated with effective functioning and well-being and also that different goal contents have different

Comparing Images Using the Hausdorff Distance

by Daniel P. Huttenlocher, Gregory A. Klanderman, William J. Rucklidge - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... The Hausdorff distance measures the extent to which each point of a `model' set lies near some point of an `image' set and vice versa. Thus this distance can be used to determine the degree of resemblance between two objects that are superimposed on one another. In this paper we provide ef ..."

Dropout from higher education: A theoretical synthesis of recent research

by Vincent Tinto - Review of Educational Research , 1975
"... Despite the very extensive literature on dropout from higher education, much remains unknown about the nature of the dropout process. In large measure, the failure of past research to delineate more clearly the multiple characteristics of dropout can be traced to two major shortcomings; namely, inad ..."

researchers to lump together, under the rubric of dropout, forms of leaving behavior that are very differ-ent in character. It is not uncommon to find, for instance, research on dropout that fails to distinguish dropout resulting from academic failure from that which is the outcome of voluntary withdrawal

A theory of social comparison processes,”

by Leon Festinger - Human Relations, , 1954
"... In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison is i ..."

While opinions and abilities may, at first glance, seem to be quite different things, there is a close

Illusion and well-being: A social psychological perspective on mental health.

by Shelley E Taylor , Jonathon D Brown , Nancy Cantor , Edward Emery , Susan Fiske , Tony Green-Wald , Connie Hammen , Darrin Lehman , Chuck Mcclintock , Dick Nisbett , Lee Ross , Bill Swann , Joanne - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism are charac ..."
Abstract - Cited by 988 (20 self) - Add to MetaCart
taxonomy of illusions is, to some extent, arbitrary. Many researchers have studied biases in the processing of self-relevant information and have given their similar phenomena different names. There is, however, considerable overlap in findings, and three that consistently emerge can be labeled

In conclusion, the presented study showed that our mea-surement procedure, based on ED and trueness-based ID-LC/tandem MS measurement of dialysate, qualifies as a method for standardization of FT4 measurements. At the same time, our results demonstrate that samples pro-cessed according to the C37-A protocol are suitable for use in standardization. These results provide a basis for worldwide standardization of FT4 measurements under the auspices of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (23). An inaugural meeting of the group is foreseen at the 2006 AACC

Structural Equation Modeling And Regression: Guidelines For Research Practice

by David Gefen, Detmar W. Straub, Marie-Claude Boudreau - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS , 2000
"... The growing interest in Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques and recognition of their importance in IS research suggests the need to compare and contrast different types of SEM techniques so that research designs can be appropriately selected. After assessing the extent to which these techn ..."

INFORMATION PRODUCTION AND CAPITAL ALLOCATION: DECENTRALIZED VS. HIERARCHICAL FIRMS

A decentralized approach–with small, single-manager firms–is most likely to be attractive when information about individu ..."

Investing for the long run when returns are predictable

by Nicholas Barberis - Journal of Finance , 2000
"... We examine how the evidence of predictability in asset returns affects optimal portfolio choice for investors with long horizons. Particular attention is paid to estimation risk, or uncertainty about the true values of model parameters. We find that even after incorporating parameter uncertainty, th ..."

. We approach this question from the perspective of horizon effects: Given the evidence of predictability in returns, should a long-horizon investor allocate his wealth differently from a short-horizon investor? The motivation for thinking about the problem in these terms is the classic work
