Abstract:

Predictive regression models are often used to forecast future possibilities of a given finance variable. For that, we rely on statistical inference: estimation and hypothesis testing. Inaccurate estimation results make inaccurate inference for a scientific question. So, it is important to develop methodologies to reduce the bias in the estimation providing a sounder basis for statistical inference. Hence, the contribution of this research is to deliver more reliable estimators in terms of bias and the level of persistence of the predictor variable, and to develop a corresponding inferential f

Abstract:

<p> This study examined a feature of organizations that, prior to this work had not been identified or defined: Organizational Bias. If an organization can learn, have an identity and memory, then an organization can hold bias. Organizational bias occurs when an organization’s culture, as defined and reproduced within its interactions with agents and actors, prevents actors from becoming agents by denying them the power required to change the organizational structure. This exclusionary aspect of bias creates a significant obstacle for educational institutions, many of whom define their m

Abstract:

The processes that lead to the development and maintenance of chronic pain are still not well understood, however prominent theories and growing empirical research indicate that cognitive processes are likely to be relevant to pain. The aim of this thesis was therefore to investigate the role of attentional bias and interpretation bias in the experience of pain. Chapter 2 presents a meta-analysis of dot-probe studies investigating whether attentional biases exist, and found attentional biases towards sensory pain words for chronic pain patients compared to healthy individuals.

Status Characteristics Theory and Contact Theory are tested to measure gender bias in engineering students, and to determine if contact with female engineers helps reduce gender bias. To assess this, two versions of a resume, one with a femaleâ s name and one with a maleâ s name, were given to senior mechanical engineering students (n=225) to establish if they would rate the male applicant better than the female applicant. Respondents were asked how qualified they thought the respondent was, how much they would want the respondent on their team, and whether or not they would hire the appli

Abstract:

Stepfamilies are the fastest growing family type in America. Unfortunately, our society holds unwarranted negative attitudes about and negative stereotypes of stepfamilies and stepfamily members. Research indicates that stepfamilies are not an inherently dysfunctional or deficient type of family. On the contrary, stepfamilies can be as healthy as nuclear families, and they can produce emotionally healthy individuals. Healthy stepfamilies, however, are often different in the roles of family members and the quality of interactions between members. It is this difference between stepfamily functio

A research method for investigating delusional beliefs is outlined by adopting the delusional belief that one is dead (the Cotard delusion) as a model delusion. Detailed analyses of published case reports of the Cotard delusion demonstrate that the term 'syndrome' as it is currently applied to the belief that one is dead is not helpful in terms of our understanding of the delusion. Four new case studies of the Cotard delusion suggest that preoccupation with belief may play a role in the formation and maintenance of delusions.

This study was concerned with two issues facing the technological application of exchange bias. The first is the ferromagnet (F)/antiferromagnet (AF) interface which was investigated via the effect of the IrMn (111) in-plane texture on the magnetisation reversal of IrMn/CoFe samples. The second is the change in the magnitude of the exchange bias (Hex) and the median blocking temperature (Tbmed)with element size in sub-500nm nanostructures. The evolution of the magnetisation reversal over the annealing/field cooling process in CoFe and CoFe/IrMn thin films was measured for samples deposited on

Synonymous codon usage bias has been extensively studied in Bacteria and Eukaryotes and yet there has been little investigation in the third domain of life, the Archaea.

Heterogeneity in codon usage among genes was initially explored for a single species, Methanococcus maripaludis, where patterns were explained by a single major trend associated with expression level and attributed to natural selection.

Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation Bias (CBM-I) is a newly developed intervention for anxiety disorders.

Research supporting these training paradigms has mainly been performed with adults, with only a few published studies exploring CBM-I for children.

Self-Serving Bias handlar om tendensen att tillskriva positiva händelser till sig själv och de negativa händelserna tillskrivs yttre omständigheter.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka skillnader mellan self-serving bias, subjektivt välmående och self-efficacy relaterat till plats i syskonskara. 185 enkäter delades ut till socionom-, beteendevetar- och psykologistuderande varav bortfallet var 35.
