THE POWER OF THE FEEDBACK ENVIRONMENT IN STIMULATING CREATIVE PERFORMANCE: THE ROLE OF TASK AUTONOMY AND SELF-CONCORDANCE
"... This study examines the impact of employees ’ perceptions of their feedback environment on their level of creativity. Hierarchical regression analysis of a sample of 482 supervisor-employee dyads demonstrated that employees ’ perceptions of their feedback environment indirectly influenced their crea ..."

between employees ’ feedback environment perceptions and self-concordance. This moderated mediation model was supported for feedback environment perceptions relating to two important feedback sources in the workplace, supervisors and coworkers. The moderating effect of autonomy was especially strong
Randomized interior point methods for sampling and optimization
, 2009
"... We present a Markov chain (Dikin walk) for sampling from a convex body equipped with a self-concordant barrier, whose mixing time from a “central point ” is strongly polynomial in the description of the convex set. The mixing time of this chain is invariant under affine transformations of the convex ..."

Estimating Genetic Ancestry Proportions from Faces
, 2009
"... Ethnicity can be a means by which people identify themselves and others. This type of identification mediates many kinds of social interactions and may reflect adaptations to a long history of group living in humans. Recent admixture in the US between groups from different continents, and the histor ..."

, and the historically strong emphasis on phenotypic differences between members of these groups, presents an opportunity to examine the degree of concordance between estimates of group membership based on genetic markers and on visually-based estimates of facial features. We first measured the degree of Native American
Testing the DGP model with gravitational lensing statistics
, 2008
"... Aims. The self-accelerating braneworld model (DGP) seems to provide a simple alternative to the the standardΛCDM cosmology to explain the current cosmic acceleration, which is strongly indicated by measurements of Type Ia supernovae, as well as other concordant observations. Methods. In this work, w ..."

Assessing secure base behavior in adulthood: Development of a measure, links to adult attachment representations, and relationships to couples’ communication and reports of relationships.
- Developmental Psychology,
, 2002
"... A focus on the secure base phenomenon creates a framework for exploring the function of the attachment system in adulthood. Engaged couples (N ϭ 157) were videotaped in a problem-solving interaction and assessed using the Secure Base Scoring System (SBSS), a system based on Ainsworth's analyse ..."

Bruxism and health related quality of life in Southern Italy's prison inmates
, 2014
"... Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-assessed bruxism, the level of Health related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and their relationship in a group of male inmates. Basic research design, setting and participants: The present study was crosssectional, its setting were p ..."

Log-Poisson Hierarchical Clustering of Cosmic Neutral Hydrogen and Lyα Transmitted Flux of QSO Absorption Spectrum
, 809
"... We study, in this paper, the non-Gaussian features of the mass density field of neutral hydrogen fluid and the Lyα transmitted flux of QSO absorption spectrum from the point-of-view of self-similar log-Poisson hierarchy. It has been shown recently that, in the scale range from the onset of nonlinear ..."

in space, the mass density field of neutral hydrogen component is not given by a similar mapping of total baryon fluid. Nevertheless, we show, with hydrodynamic simulation samples of the concordance ΛCDM universe, that the mass density field of neutral hydrogen, is also well described by the log

Prior studies have highlighted the regulatory role of temptations and demonstrated that exposure to them can undermine people's subsequent efforts and self-regulatory functio ..."

Like other goals, temptations are expected to be primed more strongly by relevant social cues among individuals with a long history of indulging in them. Unlike other goals, however
Motivational Predictors of Physical Education Students' Effort, Exercise Intentions, and Leisure-Time Physical Activity: A Multilevel Linear Growth Analysis

Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT; , the current study explored whether physical education (PE) students' psychological needs and their motivational regulations toward PE predicted mean differences and changes in effort in PE, exercise intentions, and leisure-time physical activity (L ..."

Autonomy refers to the need to self-organize one's behavior and to achieve concordance

"... The concept of social support as being directive or nondirective may help explain why helping can either boost or impede morale. The Inventory of Nondirective and Directive Instrumental Support (INDIS) was developed to investigate this question. The directive factor concerns others' attempts t ..."
