Ecology of congruence: past meets present.

Motivational Self-Regulation in the Work Domain: Congruence of Individuals’ Control Striving and the Control Potential in Their Developmental Ecologies

Line Involutions in S, Whose Singular Lines All Meet a Twisted Curve

1. Let Q be a nonsingular quadric surface bearing reguli Pi and R2, and let r be a (2, £ — 2) curve of order k on Q. A general line I meets Q in two points, Pi and P2, through each of which passes a unique generator of the regulus, Pi, whose lines are simple secants of T. On these generators let Pi and P{ be, respectively, the harmonic conjugates of Pi and P2 with respect to the two points in w...

Congruent phylogeographical patterns of eight tree species in Atlantic Central Africa provide insights into the past dynamics of forest cover.

Cycles of Quaternary climatic change are assumed to be major drivers of African rainforest dynamics and evolution. However, most hypotheses on past vegetation dynamics relied on palaeobotanical records, an approach lacking spatial resolution, and on current patterns of species diversity and endemism, an approach confounding history and environmental determinism. In this context, a comparative p...

Using Development Experience to Calculate Congruence

Coordination congruence has been defined as the match between coordination requirements and the actual coordination behavior of a team, where requirements are calculated based on underlying task dependencies and behavior based on communication patterns. In this paper we propose to expand the notion of congruence in two distinct ways. First, we use the concept of shared mental model as a determi...

The Dark Side of Consumer–Brand Relationship: Do Ideal Self-Congruence, Brand Attachment and Personality Factors Affect Negative Consumer Behaviors?

The present study aims to investigate the effect of ideal self-congruence, brand attachment and some personality factors on the negative behaviors of consumers such as compulsive buying, anti-brand actions, and trash talking. The research population was comprised of customers of four IT service brands including Samsung, HP, Sony, and Apple in Iran. Structural equation modeling approach and PLS ...
