Is That Car Smiling at Me? Schema Congruity as a Basis for Evaluating Anthropomorphized Products

The present research proposes schema congruity as a theoretical basis for examining the effectiveness and consequences of product anthropomorphism. Results of two studies suggest that the ability of consumers to anthropomorphize a product and their consequent evaluation of that product depend on the extent to which that product is endowed with characteristics congruent with the proposed human s...

How to Examine External Validity Within an Experiment∗

A fundamental concern for researchers who design and analyze experiments is that the experimental result might not be externally valid in another context. Researchers have traditionally attempted to assess external validity by comparing data from an experiment to other data. In this essay, I use insights from my recent work to show researchers how to begin the examination of external validity i...

Estimation of Tree Biomass at Individual tree, Sample plot and Hybrid Level using Drone Images

Two-dimensional image conversion algorithms to 3D data create the hope that the structural properties of trees can be extracted through these images. In this study, the accuracy of biomass estimation in tree, plot, and hybrid levels using UAVs images was investigated. In 34.8 ha of Sisangan Forest Park, using a quadcopter, 854 images from an altitude of 100 meters above ground were acquired. SF...
