Home-career conflict x locus-of-control in women: An interactional model for understanding the role of mediating variables in psychological adjustment
The study tested: (a) linear, and (b) curvilinear relationships between Locus of Control and Psychological Adjustment and to compare and explore: (c) the strength of the relationships of Locus of Control, demographic variables, and H-C Conflict to Psychological Adjustment through the use of …

Walking to transit – using big data to analyze bus and train ridership in Los Angeles
… ridership. Many prior studies assume linear relationships with established variables or explore transformed variables which have constrained assumptions. Machine learning models have the potential to discover nonlinear relationships such as step function and curvilinear relationships, which …

Adolescent career development, family adaptability and family cohesion
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between process aspects of adolescent career development and the dynamic, family dimensions of adaptability and cohesion. Drawing from Super’s career development model, Tiedeman and O’Hara’s vocational decision-making model, Haren’s career …

From child abuse to prostitution: predictors and intermediaries of exchanging sex for money
… and internal resilience/self-esteem also had curvilinear relationships with high risk and prostitution in an exploratory path analysis. Strengths, limitations, and suggestions for further research are discussed.

The prediction of the temperature of small clear streams
… air temperature. It was found to have important curvilinear relationships with the angle of shading, the wind speed, and the depth. It was curvilinearly related to the latitude, but was surprisingly insensitive to it. It was insensitive to the annual mean temperature, and the range of daily air …

An analysis of the influences of changes in herd size and certain other management factors on milk production and income over feed cost in eastern dairy herds
… cost in one or more of the three breeds studied. Curvilinear relationships were observed in many of the variables, but added little value to the final prediction equation. Differences between herd average variables for consecutive years were calculated, and when averaged, they represented yearly …

Employee lateness: Identifying correlates of lateness by applying the Steers and Rhodes Process Model of Attendance
… only, in support of the model, significant relationships were found between tardiness and two variables: (a) satisfaction with group and (b) group attitudes. For the female sample only, in support of the model, significant relationships were found between tardiness and three variables: (a) …

Investigating the presence of nonlinear personality--job performance relationships
… with regard to whether and when to expect curvilinear relationships between these attributes and job performance. Previous studies have relied on small samples and unsystematic sampling, a variety of performance criteria, the use of personality inventories for which construct validity …

Fractional Polynomial Response Surfaces and Tests for "Bumpature"
<p> Low-order polynomial models often do not fit curvilinear relationships well. Even if these models provide adequate fit, there are often problems with error assumptions and, with quadratic models, perhaps a spurious minimum or maximum in the fitted surface. With limited data, nonparametric …

Impact of constructive capitalisation of operating leases on South African companies considering new proposed lease accounting rules
… lease usage decreased as company size increased. Curvilinear relationships were also noted between a company‟s size and its extent of leasing. Further analysis revealed that recognised straight-lining lease provisions are substantially more material than recognised onerous lease contract …

Plant diversity, preference, and psychological well-being
… A growing body of research investigated the relationships among plant diversity in natural landscapes, aesthetic perceptions, and health outcomes. These studies, however, reported mixed effects—positive, no relation, and negative. Furthermore, studies that examined the health effects of plant …
