Organizational climate is the shared perceptions and valuations people hold about their experiences in workplace. research has relied upon self-report measures, which can be influenced by impression management inaccurate self-knowledge artifacts. This used IAT procedures to develop measures of selected aspects organizational examined relationships implicit with theoretically related explicit ac...

Preference heterogeneity is one of the central behavioral concepts in applied econometrics. Its centrality particularly evident choice modeling literature, notably its widespread application to environmental and health economics, marketing, transport. Despite conceptual empirical advances preference heterogeneity, generalizability different decision contexts data generation processes remains an...

For one- and two-trait-locus models, we show that the lod score based on affected relative pairs or trios is a monotonically increasing function of the genome similarity measured by the proportion of alleles shared identical by descent (IBD) conditional on observed marker data. These results can be generalized to multitrait-locus models. Thus, we can use conditional probability of genes shared ...

BACKGROUND Negative experiences of first childbirth increase risks for maternal postpartum depression and may negatively affect mothers' attitudes toward future pregnancies and choice of delivery method. Postpartum questionnaires assessing mothers' childbirth experiences are needed to aid in identifying mothers in need of support and counselling and in isolating areas of labour and birth manage...

A procedure for evaluation of convergent and discriminant validity coefficients is outlined. The method yields interval estimates of these coefficients in a construct validation study conducted via the multitrait-multimethod approach, as well as permits examination of their population relationships. The procedure is readily employed in behavioral research using the increasingly popular latent v...

BACKGROUND There is growing interest in measuring the eudaimonic perspective of mental well-being (social and psychological well-being) alongside existing measures of the hedonic perspective of mental well-being (subjective well-being). The Flourishing Scale (FS) assesses core aspects of social-psychological functioning and is now widely used in research in practice. However, the reliability an...

Scrotal circumference data from 47,605 Nellore young bulls, measured at around 18 mo of age (SC18), were analyzed simultaneously with 27,924 heifer pregnancy (HP) and 80,831 stayability (STAY) records to estimate their additive genetic relationships. Additionally, the possibility that economically relevant traits measured directly in females could replace SC18 as a selection criterion was verif...
