The Communication Anxiety Regulation Scale: Development and Initial Validation     

Kaitlin Hanley White  Matt C. Howard  Bu Zhong  Christopher R. Perez  Elizabeth A. Lee 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(1):23-43

A series of studies present the development and validation of the Communication Anxiety Regulation Scale (CARS), a self-report measure designed to assess the use of emotion regulation strategies to manage acute communication anxiety—in contrast to measures of general emotion regulation tendencies. Study 1 delineates the item derivation and selection process that yielded the final 12 CARS items. Results of an exploratory factor analysis supported the existence of four distinct subscales, each representing one of four anxiety regulation strategies (suppression, reappraisal, avoidance, and venting). Study 2 confirmed this factor structure and also examined correlations of the CARS with existing measures in an attempt to establish concurrent validity. Finally, Study 3 presents results of an item-sort task demonstrating the scale’s face validity and items’ substantive validity. Overall, findings provide preliminary support for the utility of the CARS as measure of communication anxiety regulation to be used by communication and psychology researchers.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION With the continuous development of science and technology, especially the rapid progress of electronic industry and micromachine, microparts are needed more and more, and their technical requirements are higher and higher (Geiger et al., 1994; 1996; Geiger and Engel, 2002). However, traditional processing technologies, like cutting, etc., do not meet these requirements. Traditional plastic forming technology has merits like high production rate, excellent me-chanical proper…  相似文献   

Information Management in Smart Cities: Turning end users’ views into multi-item scale development,validation, and policy-making recommendations     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

Smart-cities research has established itself as one of the most dynamic fields in research today, accommodating scholars from diverse disciplines, including engineering and computer science as well as social sciences. Even if only tacitly, the resultant debate increasingly oscillates around how the effective use of information and communication technology (ICT) might render cities and urban space better places. This article responds to this imperative by suggesting how to capture users’ views and perceptions of smart city services and applications and in this way enrich the decision- and policy-making processes. It is argued that by developing appropriate scales these otherwise subjective views and perceptions may be objectivized and hence made of great use to managers and policymakers. Accordingly, in this research, a process of scale development is conducted in four phases of both inductive and deductive methods. Following initial rounds of focus groups and assessment by experts, an international survey was conducted with 295 participants from Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Arab Peninsula, and other regions. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 24 and AMOS 20 tools. The study proposes a 20-item scale in five distinct dimensions: Technology anxiety; Work–life interface; Engagement orientation; Support orientation; and Quality of life. The significant theoretical and managerial implications are discussed to demonstrate how to manage information for the benefit of all stakeholders involved in the making of a smart city.  相似文献

孙健  李双军  任日辉  潘永生  邹本旭  冯晓玲  李美娜 《山东体育学院学报》2007,23(4):78-82

运用LSS量表,对我国体育专业院校田径教练员领导行为进行调查研究,发现:LSS量表具有较高信、效度,适合在中国使用;教练员在社会指导、民主、社会支持和奖励行为上自我估计过高;运动员各特征及其一些水平上,运动员喜欢的和教练员实际的领导行为各维度上都存在显著性差异,说明不同特征的运动员对教练员不同领导行为维度上存在不满意的情况,为教练员改进提高其管理水平提供了理论依据,对我国体育专业院校田径教练员培养优秀的教练员和运动员及促进体育专业院校田径专业的健康发展都有着重要意义。  相似文献

Footprints in the woods:‘tracking’ a nursery child through a Forest School session     

Melanie Mackinder 《Education 3-13》2017,45(2):176-190

Forest School has become increasingly popular in the UK, although little is known about what actually happens in sessions and how these sessions are planned. Using observations of two sessions and semi-structured interviews with two adult leaders this article sets out to explore how the sessions are planned, alongside a young child (aged 2–4 years) is involved and how adults participate in activities. This was achieved by ‘tracking’ one child over two one-hour sessions using the Leuven Involvement and Participation Scales as a diagnostic, analytical tool. The two sessions were then compared. This case study approach indicates that there is a link between adult participation and child involvement, alongside training which have implications for the impact and development of Forest School pedagogy and reflective practice.  相似文献   

Using social stories to decrease aggression and increase positive peer interactions in normally developing pre‐school children     

Tricia M. Benish 《Educational Psychology in Practice》2011,27(1):1-17

Social stories have been widely used for children with autism and developmental delays; however, little research has been conducted that examines their effectiveness with pre‐school children who have no developmental delays. The present study investigated this previously undocumented use of social stories. Social stories were used to decrease aggression and improve positive peer relations in a Head Start pre‐school setting. Participants included three four‐year‐old pre‐school students. A single‐subject, ABC multiple baseline design with counterbalanced treatment order was implemented where social stories were compared to a neutral book. Direct observations and pre‐ and post‐Behaviour Assessment System for Children‐2 (BASC‐2) Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) scores were examined. Results revealed some support for the usefulness of social stories in this setting and with this population. Limitations of the study are discussed and directions for future research are provided.  相似文献
