The effects of feedback sign, attributional discrepancy, and performance discrepancy on reactions to feedback
… of three factors - feedback sign, performance discrepancy, and attributional discrepancy - on reactions to feedback as measured by three groups of dependent variables (reactions against the feedback itself, reactions against the feedback source, and reactions against the feedback system). …

Multidimensional apportionment through discrepancy theory
Decidir cómo asignar los escaños de un órgano representativo es uno de los problemas más fundamentales en la organización política de las sociedades, y ha sido ampliamente estudiado desde hace ya dos siglos. La idea de proporcionalidad es la esencia de la mayoría de las formas de abordar este …

Discrepancy Values and their Applications
In this thesis, we introduce the concept of discrepancy values for the square matrices. We prove several properties of such objects, together with their relationship with other operators of matrices, such as singular values. After creating a toolbox of results about the discrepancy values, we …

Computational Bayesian inference using low discrepancy sequences
… a type of quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) point set. Low discrepancy sequences (LDS) are QMC point sets that are well known to have significant advantages over grids in terms of convergence and accuracy, and suffer less from the so-called curse of dimensionality. This work makes several important …

Discrepancy Inequalities in Graphs and Their Applications
… is the Expander Mixing Lemma, also known as the discrepancy inequality, which bounds the edge distribution between two sets based on the spectral gap. More specifically, it states that a small spectral gap of a graph implies that the edge distribution is close to random. This dissertation uses …

Actual and Ideal Self Discrepancy and Body Satisfaction
… that those individuals with a greater discrepancy between their actual and ideal selves will also have lower body satisfaction. The study also hypothesized that as the discrepancy between actual and ideal selves increases, men will report higher symptoms of body dysmorphia. Participants …

Fibonacci Sets In Discrepancy Theory and Numerical Integration
… point of view of their quantity with respect to discrepancy and numerical integration. We give a Fourier analytic proof of the fact that symmetrized Fibonacci Set has asymptotically minimal L2 discrepancy. This approach also yields an exact formula for this quantity, allowing us to evaluate the …

Marginal Discrepancy of Components Utilized for Implant Framework Construction
<p>This study evaluated marginal fit discrepancy of the abutment-implant body interface employing various components commonly utilized for implant framework fabrication. Four types of components ( castable plastic patterns, premachined gold abutments, premachined titanium abutments and CAD-CAM …

Bayesian Model Selection in terms of Kullback-Leibler discrepancy
In this article we investigate and develop the practical model assessment and selection methods for Bayesian models, when we anticipate that a promising approach should be objective enough to accept, easy enough to understand, general enough to apply, simple enough to compute and coherent enough to …

Martial arts academy : an examination of duration and discrepancy
… the truth of change. While examining the discrepancy between and among each line I could not find the defining line of the river. I wanted to build th is into the architecture, and so this became my thesis.

The Helping Professional Wellness Discrepancy Scale (HPWDS): Development and Validation
… was to develop the Helping Professional Wellness Discrepancy Scale (HPWDS) and examine the psychometric features of the HPWDS in a sample of helping professionals and helping professionals-in-training. A correlational research design was employed for this investigation (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2007). …

Identity Discrepancy, Male Role Norms, and Mental and Physical Health
… gender role norms were considered from a self-discrepancy perspective. The male gender role was divided into 4 perspective domain combinations based on the participant's perceptions: self-ideal/ought, other-ideal/ought, self-actual, other-actual. These categories were assessed using an adapted …

A New Look at the Relation Between Discrepancy and Change
In persuasive communication theory and research discrepancy is traditionally defined in terms of the (absolute) difference between initial position of the receiver and the position advocated by the source of a message. Three experiments were performed in which the persuasive communication process …

Private and public discrepancy : the anatomy of valuation in market
The popular explanations of market bubbles, based on the classical economic assumption that market prices incorporate market participants' private valuations, argue that bubbles are caused by the collective delusion of individual participants who have false beliefs of fundamental values. An …

ADHD and Self-Discrepancy: The Social Construction of ADHD in Adulthood
Once thought only to affect children, ADD/ADHD is increasingly being diagnosed in adults. This qualitative study utilizes grounded theory to describe the process of ADD/ADHD identity construction in a sample of 19 adults diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. An additional 30 unsolicited internet Internet …
