BACKGROUND Knowledge of coping styles is useful in clinical diagnosis and suggesting specific therapeutic interventions. However, the latent structures and relationships between different aspects of coping styles have not been fully clarified. A full information item bifactor model will be beneficial to future research. OBJECTIVE One goal of this study is identification of the best fit statis...

The existence of individual learning styles is a hot topic in contemporary education theory and practice. There is an ongoing debate on whether learners benefit from teaching methods that are tailored to their perceived learning styles. The majority of educators believe that such styles do exist and a striving industry benefits from this concept. However, experts conclude that the evidence on t...

Communication styles are representative of the individuals and identifying the communication styles of an individual allows the understanding of individual background, the way of thinking and perception of social reality. In the organizational context, studying the communicator styles of a group of organizational employees can be equated with learning the organizational culture. The purposes of...

Our society is overwhelmed with an ever growing amount of information. Effective management of this information requires novel ways to filter and select the most relevant pieces of information. Some of this information can be associated with the source or sources expressing it. Sources and their relation to what they express affect information and whether we perceive it as relevant, biased or t...

I occur in our lives, we seek ways to understand them. Sometimes our explanations are evidence-based and valid. Sometimes they are superstitious or spiritual or just plain wrong. The model of cognitive therapy focuses on the meanings people apply to events and situations that lead to distress. Many of these meanings take the form of “attributions” or explanations. When a patient consults a doct...

This paper presents an algorithm for synthesis of human motion in specified styles. We use a theory of movement observation (Laban Movement Analysis) to describe movement styles as points in a multi-dimensional perceptual space. We cast the task of learning to synthesize desired movement styles as a regression problem: sequences generated via space-time interpolation of motion capture data are ...

This paper discusses the development of an adaptive e-learning system based on student’s learning styles by customizing an LMS Moodle. Two popular models of learning styles used are VAK and Felder. The VAK learning styles include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, while the Felder learning styles include global and sequential. In order to accommodate the system adaptivity, some modules are crea...

We describe a technique for attributing parts of a written text to a set of unknown authors. Nothing is assumed to be known a priori about the writing styles of potential authors. We use multiple independent clusterings of an input text to identify parts that are similar and dissimilar to one another. We describe algorithms necessary to combine the multiple clusterings into a meaningful output....
