Beyond Deja Vu in the Search for Cross-Situational Consistency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent efforts to resolve the debate regarding the consistency of social behavior are critically analyzed and reviewed in the light of new data. Even with reliable measures, based on multiple behavior observations aggregated over occasions, mean cross-situational consistency coefficients were of modest magnitude; in contrast, impressive temporal stability was found. Although aggregation of measures over occasions is a useful step in establishing reliability, aggregation of measures over situations bypasses rather than resolves the problem of cross-situational consistency. The Bem-Funder (1978) template-matching approach did not enhance the search for cross-situational consistency either in their original data or in an extended replication presented here. The Bern-Allen (1974) moderator-variable approach also was not found to yield greater cross-situational consistency in the behavior of "some of the people some of the time" either in their original data or in the present study of conscientiousness. Congruent with a cognitive prototype approach, it was proposed and demonstrated that the judgment of trait consistency is strongly related to the temporal stability of highly prototypic behaviors. In contrast, the global impression of consistency may not be strongly related to highly generalized cross-situational consistency, even in prototypic behaviors. Thus, the perception and organization of personality consistencies seems to depend more on the temporal stability of key features than on the observation of cross-situational behavioral consistency, and the former may be easily interpreted as if it were the latter.

Deja Vu: Characterizing Worker Reliability Using Task Consistency
Consistency is a practical metric that evaluates an instrument’s reliability based on its ability to yield the same output when repeatedly given a particular input. Despite its broad usage, little is understood about the feasibility of using consistency as a measure of worker reliability in crowdwork. In this paper, we explore the viability of measuring a worker’s reliability by their ability t...
متن کاملWhat Was I Cooking? Towards Déjà Vu Displays of Everyday Memory
The recall of information associated with recent actions is problematic for all people, especially when one is prone to be distracted or interrupted. In this paper, we introduce Déjà Vu Displays as resources for everyday memory recall. These displays augment "knowledge in the head" by visually displaying recent events as "knowledge in the world." As an initial study, we present the design and e...
متن کاملDéjà vu: a database of highly similar citations in the scientific literature
In the scientific research community, plagiarism and covert multiple publications of the same data are considered unacceptable because they undermine the public confidence in the scientific integrity. Yet, little has been done to help authors and editors to identify highly similar citations, which sometimes may represent cases of unethical duplication. For this reason, we have made available Dé...
متن کاملThe renaissance of organic radical chemistry – deja vu all over again
Long-thriving movements often have a habit of continually reinventing themselves in a process called renaissance. The word itself is an English reinvention (some would say theft) of the French word for “rebirth”. Renaissances often occur in waves with each new wave typically building on the prior one. The European Renaissance is a perfect example, occurring in waves over about three centuries. ...
