Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:

by Kevin P Murphy , Yair Weiss , Michael I Jordan - Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI, , 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

Hypothesis Testing and Multiplicative Interaction Terms’,

by Bear F+ Braumoeller - International Organization , 2004
"... Abstract When a statistical equation incorporates a multiplicative term in an attempt to model interaction effects, the statistical significance of the lower-order coefficients is largely useless for the typical purposes of hypothesis testing+ This fact remains largely unappreciated in political sc ..."

Hypothesis-Testing Processes in Social Interaction

by Mark Snyder, William B. Swann - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1978
"... This research is concerned with the processes by which individuals use social interaction to actively test hypotheses about other people. In four separate empirical investigations, female participants were provided with hypotheses about the personal attributes of other individuals ("targets ..."

of the psychological processes believed to underlie and generate both the preferential search for hypothesis-confirming behavioral evidence and the interpersonal consequences of hypothesis-testing activities is presented. In the course of social relationships, individuals often attempt to make judgments about

A critical role for the right fronto-insular cortex in switching between central-executive and default-mode networks.

by Devarajan Sridharan , † ‡ , Daniel J Levitin , Vinod Menon - Proc Natl Acad Sci USA , 2008
"... Cognitively demanding tasks that evoke activation in the brain's central-executive network (CEN) have been consistently shown to evoke decreased activation (deactivation) in the default-mode network (DMN). The neural mechanisms underlying this switch between activation and deactivation of larg ..."

events in the environment. Recent research suggests that the human brain is intrinsically organized into distinct functional networks that support these processes (1-4). Analysis of resting-state functional connectivity, using both model-based and model-free approaches, has suggested the existence

"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

Marital processes predictive of later dissolution: Behavior, physiology, and health

by John M. Gottman, Robert W. Levenson - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1992
"... Seventy-three married couples were studied in 1983 and 1987. To identify marital processes associated with dissolution, a balance theory of marriage was used to generate 1 variable for dividing couples into regulated and nonregulated groups. For studying the precursors of divorce, a "cascade &q ..."

;cascade " model of marital dissolution, which forms a Guttman-like scale, received preliminary support. Compared with regulated couples, nonregulated couples had (a) marital problems rated as more severe (Time 1); (b) lower marital satisfaction (Time 1 and Time 2); (c) poorer health (Time 2); (d) smaller

Anonymous Hierarchical Identity-Based Encryption (Without Random Oracles). In: Dwork

by Xavier Boyen , Brent Waters - CRYPTO 2006. LNCS, , 2006
"... Abstract We present an identity-based cryptosystem that features fully anonymous ciphertexts and hierarchical key delegation. We give a proof of security in the standard model, based on the mild Decision Linear complexity assumption in bilinear groups. The system is efficient and practical, with sm ..."

The Cognition Hypothesis, Task Design, and Adult Task-Based Language Learning

by Peter Robinson - Applied Linguistics , 1996
"... The Cognition Hypothesis of task-based language learning proposes that pedagogic tasks be sequenced for learners largely on the basis of increases in their cognitive complexity so as to increasingly approximate the demands of real-world target tasks. In this paper I describe a framework for operatio ..."
