to support the model for all participants and for each gender separately. High school dropout represents an important problem that affects thousands of students each year. Roughly one third of all students will drop out of high school without having received their high school diplomas, both in Canada (Canada

suggests that subordinate laughter increases when an authority figure is present, but little is known concerning why. It was hypothesized that high-power participants would more positively evaluate the confederate who laughed during the activity than the confederate who

evaluate the contribution of New Deal cartelization policies designed to limit competition and increase labor bargaining power to the persistence of the Depression. We develop a model of the bargaining process between labor and firms that occurred with these policies, and embed that model within a multi

The design and evaluation of a high performance soft keyboard for mobile systems are described. Using a model to predict the upper-bound text entry rate for soft keyboards, we designed a keyboard layout with a predicted upper-bound entry rate of 58.2 wpm. This is about 35 % faster than

. The powerful would then be spared the performance deficits accompanying conscious thought. This hypothesis moves beyond the debate of whether the powerful (Fiske, 1993) or the powerless (Smith, Jostmann, Galinsky, & van Dijk, 2008) are normally under greater attentional demands: High-power participants

. We present threshold DSS (Digital Signature Standard) signatures where the power to sign is shared by n players such that for a given parameter t ! n=2 any subset of 2t + 1 signers can collaborate to produce a valid DSS signature on any given message, but no subset of t corrupted players can

Due to financial constraints and a lack of bed space caused by a large influx of inmates over the last decade, the Oregon Department of Corrections has been utilizing penal policy that – in one form or another – involves the interstate import and export of prisoners. However, in order to transport, exchange or “lease ” inmates to states, the

perform high-powered experiments with large samples without looking at the data until all participants have been collected, they might not pursue hypotheses that initially seem more unlikely. Murayama, Pekrun, and Fiedler (2013) discuss the practice of adding additional observations to a study

The participation this conference was significantly reduced by concerns with the US budget process. We are convinced that this is a one time event and we will be back on track next year. This year we made a major change in the processing of the papers. We required the authors to send us a full

ABSTRACT-Previous research demonstrated social influence resulting from mimicry (the chameleon effect); a confederate who mimicked participants was more highly regarded than a confederate who did not, despite the fact that participants did not explicitly notice the mimicry. In the current study
