  • Bless your heart

    Staci Defibaugh, Karen TaylorARTICLEAmerican Speech2020Cited by: 1References: 5

    Language and identity are intricately woven into the personal and public lives of social groups. Words and phrases may originate in a subculture morphing into mainstream culture on the comingled streams of interactions among the masses. These words and phrases have specific meanings within their original contexts in their home cultures, yet they vary and evolve as they travel on the above-mentioned comingled streams of interactions and conversati…

  • Response of chironomids to Neolithic land-use change in north-west Ireland

    Open AccessKaren Taylor, Karen J Taylor et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016Cited by: 1References: 6

    This study provides the first decadally resolved chironomid and organic geochemistry record of the Irish Neolithic from a small lake adjacent to the Carrowkeel-Keshcorran complex in County Sligo, Ireland. Chironomid (non-biting midge fly) sub-fossils and lake sediment geochemistry (δ 13 C, δ 15 N and C:N) from the Templevanny Lough core were used to assess the timing and magnitude of within-lake responses to Neolithic farming activity. When compa…

  • Evaluation of a Short Form of the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale

    Open AccessNancy E Betz, Karla L Klein et al.ARTICLEJournal of Career Assessment1996

    This study describes the development and evaluation of a short form of the widely used Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (CDMSE; Taylor & Betz, 1983). The psychometric characteristics and relationship to the Career Decision Scale (CDS; Osipow, 1987) and the Vocational Identity Scale (Holland, Johnston, & Asama, 1993) were examined in a sample of 180 college students. The potential utility of a more efficient short form of the scale for u…

  • Childlessness among American women

    Cardell K Jacobson, T B Heaton et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1988References: 11

    The rate of childlessness in the United States has increased over the last two decades. Changing or differential rates by different segments of society have important implications for society. Most previous studies have relied on unrepresentative opportunistic samples to identify those segments of society with lower or higher rates of childlessness. These types of samples may misestimate both the number of women planning to remain childless and t…

  • The effects of individual performance schemata and dimension familiarization on rating accuracy

    Open AccessRobert L Cardy, H John Bernardin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Psychology1987

    Previous research has suggested that cognitive schemata serve as organizing frameworks which direct rater attention, categorization, integration and recall of ratee behaviour. It has been suggested that raters with more valid schemata, i.e. with cognitive organizing structures which are more sensitive to relevant ratee behaviours, rate more accurately. The study described here examined rater accuracy as a function of schemata derived from past ex…

  • Halo Error: Is its Strength Dependent upon Attribute Saliency

    Open AccessJohn Bernardin, Liesa Bernardin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    The effects of saliency of specific personal attributes on halo effect were investigated with two populations. It was hypothesized that the greater saliency of the specific attribute, the greater the halo in ratings of other attributes. Results did not support the hypothesis. Halo levels were equivalent across populations
