Though survey assessment after several stages treatment, explore impact on the psychological intervention in patients with juvenile orthodontic treatment satisfaction degree.

Effect of simultaneous femoral derotation osteotomy and selective dorsal rhizotomy on gait in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study

To examine gait patterns and gait quality, 7 twins with cerebral palsy were measured preoperatively and after surgical intervention. The aim was to study differences and/or similarities in gait between twins, the influence of personal characteristics and birth conditions, and to describe the development of gait over time after single event multilevel surgery.A standardized clinical exam and a three-dimensional gait analysis were performed. Gait patterns were classified according to Sutherland and Davids, and the Gillette Gait Index was calculated as a global measure of the gait impairment. Next to subject characteristics at time of first measurement, and at time of birth, birth conditions were collected.Gait patterns were determined as crouch gait in 13 legs, as stiff gait in 6 legs and as jump gait in 8 legs. One leg showed a normal gait pattern. The knee flexion–extension angle correlated most constant with the knee flexion–extension angle of the contralateral leg (range 0.91–0.99). Correlations with the legs of the sibling showed variable correlations (range 0.44–0.99); with all other legs medium to high correlations of 0.73–0.91 were found. The Gillette Gait Index was found to initially decrease after surgical intervention.Similar correlations were found between twins or between legs for the gait pattern expressed by the knee flexion–extension angle, and the Gillette Gait Index improved after surgery. It seems that gait quality in twins with cerebral palsy is characterized predominantly by the traumatic disorder: genetic dispositions and personal characteristics only play a negligible role.

Managers’ intention to participate in logistics outsourcing project groups: the influence of personal characteristics

ABSTRACT Logistics outsourcing requires cross-functional project groups made up of motivated and committed managers. Consequently, the intention to participate in such groups is of central importance. This article examines whether a manager’s intention to participate in logistics outsourcing is determined by elementary personal characteristics such as work experience, gender, function, position and familiarity with outsourcing or whether more complex models are required. For this purpose, the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA) is used as a behavioural framework. A survey of 201 managers in Germany was conducted in an attempt to verify the research question. Data analysis is based on dummy regression. The results confirm managers’ attitudes, the perception of social pressure and the perception of behavioural control as the three drivers of the intention to participate, whereas elementary personal characteristics exert no direct influence on the strength and the direction of managers’ intentions.

Replications Further Examining Workplace Incivility Perceptions based on Personality Characteristics

This paper aimed to replicate the findings from Sliter, Withrow, and Jex (2015) examining the influence of personality characteristics on how individuals perceive uncivil behaviors in the workplace. The original study found that trait anger, and unexpectedly positive affect, were the strongest predictors or perceived workplace incivility. In addition, it failed to support the hypothesized relationships between perceived incivility and agreeableness, emotional stability and negative affect. To assess success of replication, we used four different criteria (prediction intervals, original study confidence interval, replication confidence intervals, and significance testing) in an independent literal replication (student sample) and an independent constructive replication with a sample of employed participants. In both replications, positive affect and trait anger were the strongest predictors of perceived workplace and replicated across the four success criteria. The constructive replication found different effect sizes of negative affect, agreeableness, and emotional stability, providing some support for the original hypotheses that were not supported in the original study. Finally, the findings related to openness, conscientiousness and extraversion were inconsistent across studies. Taken together these replications suggest the need to continue exploring the role of personality traits in incivility perceptions with constructive replications that provide methodological improvements beyond improving the sampling.

A Study on the Influence of Personal Characteristics of Youth Employment on the Preparation for Turnover: Focused on the adjustment effect of experience in failing to get jobs

Purpose: In this study, we would like to confirm that the transfer of young workers may be a means of enhancing their internal satisfaction, not to get a better job, by setting work-related characteristics that are highly relevant to job-related factors. Research design, data, and methodology: In this study, preparation for turnover was set as dependent variables to identify factors related to the turnover of young people, and the type of business, employment type, debt status, job satisfaction, job difficulty compared to education level, job difficulty, job degree, job major agreement, debt status, and other demographic social characteristics were selected as independent variables. Results: The characteristics related to personal criteria in job-seeking process were significant in the form of business, employment type, job satisfaction, work difficulty compared to the level of education, work difficulty compared to the level of technology, job major matching, and debt status. Conclusions: This study confirmed that young people's turnover may not simply be a means to get a better job, but to increase satisfaction in the internal aspects of their jobs, and that for young people, a job is an important development process that represents their identity and needs to be approached from a life-cycle perspective.

Personal Characteristics of e-Bike Riders and Illegal Lane Occupation Behavior

This study aimed to reveal the potential relationship between personal characteristics of e-bike riders and illegal occupation of motor vehicle lane. To this end, a questionnaire survey was conducted and 350 valid copies of responses were retrieved from the e-bike riders. Depending on the number of motor vehicle lanes occupied, the risky behavior of illegal occupation was divided into four intervals: intervals A, B, C, and D. The disaggregate theory has high adaptability to the analysis of individual traffic behavior. In this study, the multinomial logit model was used, and eight personal characteristics of e-bike riders were selected. The aforementioned four intervals were the four selection limbs, and a measurement model calculating the influence of personal characteristics on the behavior of illegal occupation was built. The theory of elasticity was employed to analyze the sensitivity degree of each influence factor. The results showed that the absolute values of elasticity of all tested influence factors, including age, educational level, and eye vision, were less than 1.000. However, on the four intervals, the elasticity of riders’ temperament was 1.203, 1.656, 1.554, and 1.355, respectively, and elasticity of riding proficiency was 2.782, 3.883, 3.453, and 2.932, respectively.

Agriculture faculty students’ meanings translation in conditions of the development of communicative competence

This article discusses psychological characteristics of communicative and speech competence of the agriculture faculty students. The authors pay attention to the study of students communication skills in the process of interaction, their ability to translate meaning, skills of information interpretation and effective meaning transfer. The study involved 120 students aged 17 to 23 years (M=20.75, SD=2.25 (37% men). Methods were used: a survey – “Communicative competence” of L. Michelson in the modification of Yu.Z. Gilbukh; testing – subtest No. 6 of the Wechsler test; analytic tasks – a method of supplementing / completing / restoring a speech utterance, a classification method; statistical methods (descriptive statistics , Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test). The study found that first-year students differ from senior students in communicative competence. The speech competence of graduate students in a qualitative aspect is better developed, however, it is distorted by the influence of personal characteristics and the situation. The research prospects are aimed at studying the differences in speech and communicative competence of students who completed training courses on the development of these abilities. It is also promising to study the characteristics of the process of meaning, as variables in the formation of speech and communicative competence.

Impact of Peer Feedback on Learning : A Case of EFL Teacher Trainees

The present study investigated the learners’ perceived impact of peer feedback on their learning after one semester’s practicing it in a content course classroom, with additional interests in the influence of personal characteristics in the shaping of their perception and factors underlying their approaches to peer-feedback activities. Participants were 52 Korean college students majoring in TEFL.A survey was administered at the beginning and the end of the semester in search of any possible change in their perception attributable to the actual practicing of peer feedback activities. An interview was also conducted to see how their perception was shaped. Results indicated that, at the end of the semester, the participants significantly more positively perceived the beneficial impact of peer feedback on various aspects of learning. Students with more exposure to peer feedback activities tended to more favorably appreciate its beneficial impact, especially on learning achievement. The significant difference between the extroverted and the introverted about the impact of peer feedback on learning motivation disappeared at the end of the semester, suggesting peer feedback could benefit learners of any personality type. The desire to keep face emerged as the most salient feature underlying the process where peer feedback benefitted the learners.

Опыт проживания и страх повторения состояния униженности во взаимосвязи с личностными характеристиками студентов вуза

The study discusses the problem of humiliation of young people, the impact of the state of humiliation on the manifestation of their personal characteris-tics. The relevance of the topic is due to the frequent cases of bullying, manifested in the humiliation of students, which negatively affects the socio-psychological processes of society. The sample included university students (N = 70, 59 girls and 11 boys) aged 17 to 20 years. Two parameters of humil-iation were studied: the impact of past humiliation (VPU) and the fear of being humiliated (SBU) (L. Hartling). As personal characteristics, the motivation of approval (D. Marlowe, D. Crown), emotional empa-thy (A. Mehrabian, M. Epstein), typological character-istics of the personality (K. Jung) were considered. The results indicate the influence of personal char-acteristics on the humiliation of the subjects. The motivation for approval had the greatest impact on the VPU and SBU. The more subjects get approval and praise from others, the less they are concerned about past experience of humiliation and fear of humiliation. Approval, praise somehow compensate for the fear of humiliation. Emotional empathy, man-ifested in sympathy for others, causes fear of being humiliated by the subjects themselves. Extroversion reduces the fear of humiliation, and negative past experience of humiliation affects the demonstration of closure (introversion). The results of the study can be used by school and university psychologists in their work to reduce the negative consequences of humiliation in high school students and to form psychological resistance to their manifestations in them.

SNS 실시간 동영상 서비스 이용의 만족도와 지속사용의도: 개인적 특성과 사회적 현존감의 영향

본 연구는 기존의 소셜미디어에서 새롭게 제공되는 SNS 실시간 동영상 서비스이용의 이용동기를 밝히고 이용동기와 이용자 개인적 특성이 이용 만족도와 지속사용의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한, 개인적 특성과 이용 만족도와의 관계를 사회적 현존감이 매개하는지 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 온라인 서베이를 실시하였으며(N = 400), 이용동기로는 정보추구, 사회적 상호작용, 오락/즐거움, 현실도피가 도출되었다. 이들 이용동기 중 정보추구, 오락/즐거움, 현실도피는 이용 만족도와 지속사용의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 SNS 실시간 동영상 서비스 이용자 특성의 개혁성, 자기표현, 자기노출은 모두 이용 만족도와 지속사용의도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 함께, 사회적 현존감은 개혁성, 자기표현, 자기노출 성향이 이용 만족도에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 앞으로의 뉴미디어 동향에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 여겨지는 SNS 실시간 동영상 서비스와 관련하여, 이용동기와 개인적 특성, 이용 만족도와 지속사용의사와의 관계를 살펴보았다는데 의의가 있으며, 기존의 소셜미디어 이용동기 연구에서 중요한 요인으로 다뤄졌던 사회적 상호작용 요인이 SNS 실시간 동영상이용 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다는 점을 발견하였다. 이는 기존의 SNS 실시간 동영상 서비스가 필요로 하는 기능과 관련하여 이론적, 실무적 함의를 제공하는데 기여할 수 있다고 하겠다.

DECOMPOSITION OF GENDER WAGE GAP IN POLAND USING COUNTERFACTUAL DISTRIBUTION WITH SAMPLE SELECTION

Abstract In the paper, we compare income distributions in Poland taking into account gender differences. The gender pay gap can only be partially explained by differences in men’s and women’s characteristics. The unexplained part of the gap is usually attributed to the wage discrimination. The objective of this study is to extend the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition procedure to different quantile points along the income distribution. We use the RIF-regression method to describe differences between the incomes of men and women along the two distributions and to evaluate the strength of the influence of personal characteristics on the various parts of the income distributions. As the sample selection is a serious issue for the study, therefore our decomposition approach will be adjusted for sample selection problems. The results suggest not only differences in the income gap along the income distribution (in particular sticky floor and glass ceiling), but also differences in the contribution of selection effects to the pay gap at different quantiles. The analysis is based on data from the EU-SILC data for Poland in 2014.
