چکیده
Drawing on the victim precipitation model, this study provides an empirical investigation of the relationship between cognitive ability and victimization at work. We propose that people high in cognitive ability are more prone to victimization. In this study, we also examine the direct and moderating effects of victims' personality traits, specifically the 2 interpersonally oriented personality dimensions of agency and communion. Results support the direct positive relationship of cognitive ability and victimization. The positive relationship between high cognitive ability and victimization is moderated by the victims' personality traits; agency personality traits strengthen the relationship of cognitive ability and victimization, whereas communion personality traits weaken this relationship.

متن کاملLower Bound for the Number of Non-simple Geodesics on a Pair of Pants
Let S be a surface and let P be a pair of pants. Geodesics on surfaces, and on pairs of pants specifically, have been studied extensively over the years. In this paper, we focus on getting a lower bound on the number of closed geodesics on P with given upper bounds on length and self-intersection number. As a direct consequence, we get a lower bound for the number of such closed geodesics on an...
