This poster presents a study about the influence of gender related factors, age, body weight, time of service in the profession and practice of physical exercise on the prevalence of discomfort/pain complaints in dental professionals. The scope of this study was limited to 123 subjects, 84.24% of professionals in the public dental clinics, who answered the multidimensional analytical work quest...

Relationships between Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) scores, inspection time (IT), choice reaction time (CRT), and the odd-man procedure (OMO) were investigated. IT was measured using a curve-fitting procedure that was less susceptible to variable task performance. IQ correlated significantly with IT (r = -.624) and OMO decision time (DT; r = .365) as well as with CRT DT (r = -.28). IT...

This study developed and tested a theory-based measure of authentic leadership using five separate samples obtained from China, Kenya, and the United States. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a higher order, multidimensional model of the authentic leadership construct (the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire [ALQ]) comprising leader self-awareness, relational transparency, internalized mora...

Methods Fifty fibromyalgia patients were randomized into two groups based on predetermined eligibility criteria. Experienced acupuncturists provided real or simulated acupuncture two to three times per week to complete ten sessions within four to six weeks. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI), Composite Physical Function Scale (CPF) and 30-second chair...

In the current study, we examined correlates of tanning behaviors and attitudes. Undergraduates (N = 277; 53% female; average age = 19.27 years) completed measures of appearance orientation and appearance evaluation from the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and questions addressing tanning behaviors and attitudes.

Background The term Metacognition refers to the psychological processes that are involved in the way a person controls, modifies, and appraises his own thoughts [1]. Maladaptive metacognitions have been related to the development and maintenance of psychological disorder [2,3]. The Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) is a multidimensional instrument for assessing metacognitions, composed o...

Utilization of the software is increasing day by day. The advancement in hardware and software have paved the way for systems engineering that supports the development of complex systems encompassing software as a part. Such systems need more vigorous Requirements Engineering (RE) practices and guidelines to cater the multidimensional needs. The objective of this study is to identify the signif...

This research describes efforts to develop and validate a multidimensional measure of the learning organization. An instrument was developed based on a critical review of both the conceptualization and practice of this construct. Supporting validity evidence for the instrument was obtained from several sources, including best model-data fit among alternative measurement models, nomological netw...

The development and refinement of natural-language communication systems among networked individuals is not well understood and difficult to study. This paper uses a task providing a controlled environment for the goal-oriented, collaborative exchange of short, natural-language messages between experimental participants (20 per group) in order to demonstrate lexical convergence. A technique for...
