Propensity and attainment of flow state
In this thesis, I investigated the influence of personality and situational variables on the experience of flow in order to enhance flow state in tennis competition. Based on propositions of the sport-specific flow model (Kimiecik & Stein, 1992), I conducted three interconnected studies. In Study …

Uncertainty analysis of disc brake squeal propensity
… decades, the reliable prediction of brake squeal propensity remains as challenging as ever. This is because brake squeal is essentially a nonlinear problem but the popular complex eigenvalue analysis (CEA) as a prediction tool is linear, while the material properties, operating conditions and …

Predicting Study Abroad Propensity among College Students
… of students with respect to predicting propensity to study abroad. Prior research has focused on each of these factors individually while this study explored the influence of these factors collectively on the likelihood to study abroad. Factors were defined by variables measured by the …

Toward Nonparametric Propensity Score Estimation With Guaranteed Covariate Balance
… and biased treatment effect inference. The propensity score </em><em>(PS) has been widely used to adjust this covariate imbalance in observational data. However, </em><em>the propensity score analysis methods rely on a correctly specified parametric PS </em><em>model. When the model is …

The Propensity to Borrow out of Expected Permanent Income
One prediction of the Permanent Income Hypothesis is that households who are illiquid may wish to borrow against future income when there is a positive shock to their future income process. We informally model this prediction in a two-period setting and then test it using Equifax data. We …

An assessment of the factors driving consumer's propensity to purchase online
… was to establish key factors driving consumers’ propensity to purchase online in order to device a model that guides online marketing strategy and future research. Guided by the quantitative research approach and a descriptive single cross-sectional design, data was collected from a sample of 350 …

Analysis of Coding Region SNPs and Its Propensity to Cause Disease
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or (SNPs) are the most abundant form of variation present in the human genome. These variations in individuals are considered to be the cause of diseases, difference in response to treatment, susceptibility to diseases or may have no impact. Association studies aim …

Propensity for participative decision making as an enabler of strategic agility
… agility is improved when there is a greater propensity for participative decision making. The paper then delves deeper into decision making with focus on Participative Decision Making and the factors that influence participative decision making. A quantitative survey approach was used from …

Investigation of Copper Pitting Propensity Using Bench and Field Scale Testing
… of techniques designed to monitor copper pitting propensity were applied at two water utilities with known pitting disposition. In addition to traditional approaches including ECorr rise, chlorine decay kinetics, and surface analyses, a novel method was attempted to develop "pitting currents" …

Disgust propensity, fear of contamination and underlying dimensions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms
An exploratory study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of harm avoidance and incompleteness, the proposed underlying motivational factors of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), in the relationship between disgust and fear of contamination. In total, 170 undergratuate students at the …

Determination and measurement of factors which influence propensity to cycle to work
2.89% of the UK population cycled for the journey to work as measured by the census in 200I. This percentage is similar to the percentage from the 1991 census and indicates a levelling off in the decline that had been seen in the previous two decades in bicycle use for the journey to work, but does …

Propensity Score Matching Techniques: Simulation and Application in an Educational Research Context
<p>Propensity score matching is a relatively new technique used in observational studies to approximate data that have been randomly assigned to treatment. This technique assimilates the values of several covariates into a single propensity score that is used as a matching variable to create …
