‘Glocal’ processes in peripheral football countries: a figurational sociological comparison of Finland and Hungary     

Mihaly Szerovay  Hannu Itkonen  Hanna Vehmas 《Soccer & Society》2017,18(4):497-515

The aim of this article is to increase the understanding of the global and local contexts in football by finding out what social, cultural and economic dimensions seem to characterize ‘periphery’ football. This study applies figurational sociological perspective, which is applicable to the research on globalization processes and sport. The sources utilized are publications on the history and sociology of football as well as interviews with football practitioners. First, a theoretical framework of the global football figuration is advanced. Second, applying the constructed framework, the concept of periphery football country is discussed. It was found in accordance with previous research that instead of the rigid conceptualization of peripheral football, the various developmental patterns of countries should be studied. Third, the diverse development paths of Finnish and Hungarian football are analysed and compared. It is suggested that in spite of being peripheral, both countries have been increasingly integrated into the global football figuration.  相似文献

Attitudes of Business Faculty Towards Two Methods of Collecting Teaching Evaluations: Paper vs. Online     

Curt J. Dommeyer  Paul Baum  Kenneth S. Chapman  Robert W. Hanna 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2002,27(5):455-462

Business professors were surveyed to determine their attitudes towards two methods of collecting students' teaching evaluations of faculty--the traditional paper-and-pencil method conducted in class and the online method conducted via the Internet. Faculty preferred the traditional paper method, mainly because they believed it would produce a higher and more accurate response than the online method. Faculty characteristics were examined to determine whether they were related to attitudes towards the online method of collecting teaching evaluations. No characteristics were found to be significantly associated with attitudes towards the online method. Suggestions for future researchers are offered.  相似文献

Stimulant medication and reading performance: follow-up on sustained dose in ADHD boys with and without conduct disorders.     

S R Forness  J M Swanson  D P Cantwell  D Youpa  G L Hanna 《Journal of learning disabilities》1992,25(2):115-123

The study examined the sustained effects of methylphenidate on reading performance in a sample of 42 boys, aged 8 to 11, with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Two subgroups were formed based on the presence or absence of co-occurring conduct disorders. Subjects were selected on the basis of their positive response to methylphenidate as determined in a series of original medication trials (Forness, Cantwell, Swanson, Hanna, & Youpa, 1991). For the purpose of this study, subjects were placed on their optimal dose of medication for a 6-week period and then tested on measures of oral reading and reading comprehension equivalent to those used in the original trials, retested after a week without medication (placebo), then tested again the following week after return to medication. Only the subgroup with conduct disorders responded, and this response was limited to reading comprehension improvement in only those subjects who also demonstrated improvement in oral reading on original trials. No response differences were found between subjects with or without learning disabilities.  相似文献   

The concept of ethnicity in social psychological research: Definitional issues     

Hanna Zagefka 《Int J Intercult Relat》2009,33(3):228-241

Although ethnicity frequently features in current quantitative social psychology, it is rarely theorised. This paper starts by reviewing how ethnicity has been conceptualised in other social sciences. A working definition of ethnicity is provided, and an argument for moderate constructivism is advanced. Then, it is discussed how ethnicity has been treated in some of the major traditions in quantitative social psychology, and problems arising from this are highlighted. Firstly, the way ethnicity is discussed in much psychological work leads to a terminological confusion. Secondly, an overly strong focus on generic identity processes prevalent among some social identity researchers bears the danger of excluding a range of important phenomena related to ethnicity from scientific observation. Thirdly, the way in which ethnicity is conceptualised in much of quantitative social psychology (as evinced by psychological theorising, writing, and methodological choices) is incompatible with the notion of ethnicity as constructed. Ignoring the constructed nature of ethnicity has negative consequences for our ability to interpret research findings, for the well-being of participants, and it can have negative ethical and political implications. Practical steps that might be taken in order to avoid these perils in future research are discussed.  相似文献   

(International) R&D collaboration and SMEs: The effectiveness of targeted public R&D support schemes     

Hanna Hottenrott  Cindy Lopes-Bento 《Research Policy》2014

This study analyses the impact and effectiveness of targeted public support for R&D investment at the firm level. We test whether the policy design aiming at incentivizing (international) collaboration and R&D in SMEs achieves input as well as output additionality. Our results show that the targeted public subsidies trigger R&D spending, especially so in internationally collaborating SMEs. We further evaluate the different impact of privately financed and publicly induced R&D investment on innovation performance. The results confirm that the publicly induced R&D is productive as it translates into marketable product innovations. While both types of R&D investments trigger significant output effects, the effect of policy-induced R&D investment on sales from market novelties is highest for international collaborators as well as for SMEs.  相似文献   

Cognitive and environmental predictors of early literacy skills     

Davidse NJ  de Jong MT  Bus AG  Huijbregts SC  Swaab H 《Reading and writing》2011,24(4):395-412

Not all young children benefit from book exposure in preschool age. It is claimed that the ability to hold information in mind (short-term memory), to ignore distraction (inhibition), and to focus attention and stay focused (sustained attention) may have a moderating effect on children’s reactions to the home literacy environment. In a group of 228 junior kindergarten children with a native Dutch background, with a mean age of 54.29 months (SD = 2.12 months), we explored therefore the relationship between book exposure, cognitive control and early literacy skills. Parents filled in a HLE questionnaire (book sharing frequency and an author recognition checklist as indicator of parental leisure reading habits), and children completed several tests in individual sessions with the researcher (a book-cover recognition test, PPVT, letter knowledge test, the subtests categories and patterns of the SON, and cognitive control measures namely digit span of the KABC, a peg tapping task and sustained attention of the ANT). Main findings were: (1) Children’s storybook knowledge mediated the relationship between home literacy environment and literacy skills. (2) Both vocabulary and letter knowledge were predicted by book exposure. (3) Short-term memory predicted vocabulary over and above book exposure. (4) None of the cognitive control mechanisms moderated the beneficial effects of book exposure.  相似文献

Employees’ perceptions of interpersonal competence: The case of South Korea     

Changdai Kim  Kyung Wha Min  Sook Kyeong Yune  Hanna Choi  Eun Hye Gong 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2008,9(2):221-232

This study examined employees’ perceptions of interpersonal competence at work through the research methodology known as concept mapping. The purpose of this study was to identify the phenomenally derived components of interpersonal competence in work environments and employees’ underlying cognitive structures of interpersonal competence at work. Multidimensional scaling analysis indicated that the participants conceptualized interpersonal competence in the following two dimensions: (i) work-specific domain versus general domain and (ii) unilateral domain versus bilateral domain. In addition, hierarchical clustering on the MDS coordinates produced six clusters: Caring & Considerate, Sociable & Out-going, Kind & Gentle, Reliable & Leadership skills, and Confident & Responsible. Our results were discussed with respect to future research and educational approaches to the issues surrounding interpersonal competencies at work.  相似文献
