Abstract This paper explores how proactive behavior and constructive deviance relate to affective organizational commitment turnover intention through idea championing. Based on a two-wave study ( N = 310), structural equation model analyses revealed that had an inhibitory effect facilitatory In turn, championing was related increased reduced intention. The of indirect effects further indicated...

A deviant sound in a sequence of repeating (standard) sounds elicits the mismatch negativity (MMN) component in the event-related brain potential (ERP) recorded from the scalp.1 The MMN is elicited even when the subject is instructed to ignore the auditory stimuli and attend to other stimuli. In the ERP to deviant sounds, the MMN overlaps with the negative N1 (peak latency about 100 ms from sti...

What determines the magnitude of attentional capture by deviant sound events? We combined the cross-modal oddball distraction paradigm with sequence learning to address this question. Participants responded to visual targets, each preceded by tones that formed a repetitive cross-trial standard sequence. In Experiment 1, with the standard tone sequence …-660-440-660-880-… Hz, either the 440 Hz o...

Sensitivity to the environment's sequential regularities makes it possible to predict upcoming sensory events. To investigate the mechanisms that monitor such predictions, we recorded scalp EEG as subjects learned to reproduce sequences of motions. Each sequence was seen and reproduced four successive times, with occasional deviant directions of motion inserted into otherwise-familiar and predi...

Detecting clients with deviant behavior in the Bittorrent network is a challenging task that has not received the deserved attention. Typically, this question is seen as not ’politically’ correct, since it is associated with the controversial issue of detecting copyright protection agencies. However, deviant behavior detection and associated blacklists might prove crucial for the well being of ...

Neurophysiological abnormalities in auditory deviance processing, as reflected by the mismatch negativity (MMN), have been observed across the course of schizophrenia. Studies in early schizophrenia patients have typically shown varying degrees of MMN amplitude reduction for different deviant types, suggesting that different auditory deviants are uniquely processed and may be differentially aff...

OBJECTIVE To determine how early puberty and peer deviance relate to trajectories of aggressive and delinquent behavior in early adolescence and whether these relationships differ by race/ethnicity. METHODS In this longitudinal study, 2607 girls from 3 metropolitan areas and their parents were interviewed at ages 11, 13, and 16 years. Girls reported on their age of onset of menarche, best fri...

Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) general theory of crime and Akers’ (1998) social learning theory have received strong empirical support for explaining crime in both the physical and cyberworlds. Most of the studies examining cybercrime, however, have only used college samples. In addition, the evidence on the interaction between low self-control and deviant peer associations is mixed. Therefor...
