The current article argues that taking subjective theories of both the rater and ratee into consideration contributes to a deeper understanding of leadership evaluations. In the present study, individuals’ pre-existing implicit personality theory (Dweck, 1996) was measured in an organizational setting and was identified as a moderating variable for leadership assessments (108 participants). It ...

Two studies explored the role of implicit theories of intelligence in adolescents' mathematics achievement. In Study 1 with 373 7th graders, the belief that intelligence is malleable (incremental theory) predicted an upward trajectory in grades over the two years of junior high school, while a belief that intelligence is fixed (entity theory) predicted a flat trajectory. A mediational model inc...

In their model of implicit theories, Dweck, Chiu, and Hong articulate an ambitious conceptual framework with far-ranging implications for personality, motivation , and social behavior. The authors identify two fundamentally different world views that influence how individuals process and respond to social information , and they detail the motivational and social consequences of these world view...

Lur’e-type nonlinear systems are virtually ubiquitous in applied control theory, which explains the great interest they have attracted throughout the years. The purpose of this paper is to propose conditions to assess incremental asymptotic stability of Lur’e systems that are less conservative than those obtained with the incremental circle criterion. The method is based on the approximation of...

The incremental updating of lower and upper approximations under the variation of information systems is an important issue in rough set theory. Many incremental updating approaches with respect to different kinds of indiscernibility relations have been proposed. The grade indiscernibility relation is a fuzzification of classical Pawlak’s indiscernibility relation which can characterize the sim...

Approximation computation is a critical step in rough sets theory used in knowledge discovery and other related tasks. In practical applications, an information system often evolves over time by the variation of attributes or objects. Effectively computing approximations is vital in data mining. Dominance-based rough set approach can handle information with preference-ordered attribute domain, ...

various researches have been carried out about benefits of accounting information and their influence on decision making of financial statements users. for example, many researches have examined the relationship between accounting variables and stock returns or stock price. this study determines and compares the relative and incremental content of accounting variables, too. for this purpose, th...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

1. Introduction. The linear mechanics of fluid-saturated porous media as developed by the author was reviewed and discussed in detail in two earlier papers [l], [2]. In its final form it is based on the linear thermodynamics of irreversible processes. It is applicable to the most general case of anisotropy and includes not only the basic principles of classical thermodynamics but also the effec...
