This paper builds a bridge between research on regulatory focus in motivation and classification learning. It tests the hypothesis that a fit between the situational regulatory focus and the reward structure of the task leads to greater cognitive flexibility than a mismatch between situational focus and the reward structure and that the fit between the regulatory focusinduced processing charact...

Article history: Received 17 March 2014 Received in revised form 5 May 2014 Accepted 8 May 2014 Available online xxxx In this invited response, we first note that contrary to the claims of Haier and colleagues, they were not part of the review process for the article Fractionating Human Intelligence. We then expand on the rationale underlying the primary objective of the study, to determine whe...

Decisions are often based on the results of quantitative analysis. To gain confidence in these results, some indication of their quality is needed. Measurement uncertainty, as proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is a way to express this quality. Most measurement techniques compare references and therefore need to be calibrated. Usually least squares methods ign...

A controversial area in covariance structure models is the assessment of overall model fit. Researchers have expressed concern over the influence of sample size on measures of fit. Many contradictory claims have been made regarding which fit statistics are affected by N. Part of the confusion is due to there being two types of sample size effects that are confounded. The first is whether N dire...

A long running challenge in both large and small organizations has been aligning information systems services with business needs. Good alignment is assumed to lead to good business results, but there is a need for good instruments to assess strategic alignment and business success in practice. Based on existing information management theories, we develop the I-Fit model and the I-Fit tool. The...
