Citizen Jane
The canonization of Jane Jacobs continues. Increasingly, for those occupying midlevel positions on the spectrum of urban gentrification—between the original tenement poor and the eventual investment banker—the community activist Jacobs has taken on an increasingly important role as a sort of Mother Courage of urban pioneerism. This was not always the case. Despite her intractable (and ultimately career-ending) battles with the New York City plann…
Halo Effect
This is said to occur when people are assigned the same or similar ratings on different characteristics, (i.e., the ratings between the different characteristics are correlated).
Organizational Effectiveness
Older people's well-being as a function of employment, retirement, environmental characteristics and role preference
The life satisfaction and affective well-being of employed, unemployed and retired men and women aged between 50 and 74 were examined as a function of characteristics of their environment and the degree to which their current role was personally preferred. Early-retired and late-employed individuals had particularly high affective well-being. Role preference (e.g. to be in a job) was significantly associated with both indicators, with better well…
Time-Related Individual Differences
Postmodernism has brought about changing demands with respect to time in work organizations. While the impact of this has been given some attention at both the organizational and individual levels, far less has been given to a consideration of the extent to which individual differences might moderate the impact of such changes.

These dimensions are used as a basis for the design of exercises and are used by assessors to rate candidates' performance. This paper examines the psychometric properties of four UK‐based assessment centres and, in particular, the extent to which the ratings produced by assessors demonstrate both convergent and discriminant valid…
