Abstract:

The connection between evaluation practice and its ultimate goal—social betterment—is indirect. With little or no direct control over social programs and policies, many evaluators rely on the actions of stakeholders to bridge the gap between evaluation practice and its purpose. Consequently, communicating with influence becomes key. The present empirical study tested the influence of evaluation findings on reader attitudes. It also extended current research on communication in evaluation by empirically testing whether visual data displays are related to evaluation influence. Findings suggested

Abstract:

The advent of e-reader technology has spawned a fundamental change in the reading experience. Such devices are meant to address what are perceived as shortcomings or flaws in the design of traditional paper-based books. Yet, as with any new technology, e-readers possess their own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, which we explore here. Research concerning reading media indicates a mild yet pervasive preference for traditional books, yet e-readers continue to gain in popularity. We offer quantitative data relating to readers’ attitudes and preferences for information presentation so a

Abstract:

To estimate how two reading attitude scales are related, 198 prospective teachers were administered the Mikulecky Behavioral Reading Attitude Measure and the Teale-Lewis Reading Attitude Scales. The former allowed classification of subjects according to Krathwohl's five stages of internalization of attitudes, while the Teale-Lewis scale measured the value subjects placed upon individual development, utilitarian and enjoyment dimensions of reading. Canonical analysis showed that the two instruments are related, with one significant function accounting for 64% of the variance. All subscales cont

Abstract:

Despite dedication of tremendous resources to developing literary proficiencies, advanced readers may remain an underserved and understudied population. This qualitative study included nine preadolescent participants aged 10–12 years who demonstrated reading comprehension abilities within the top 10% on a national normed achievement battery. The researchers gathered interview data from participants with corroborating evidence from their parents and their book club teacher. The grounded theory analyses found advanced readers to demonstrate superior reading comprehension and the ability to read

Abstract:

The present paper shows a useful application of corpus methodologies to the genre of literary texts in translation with the aim of discovering attitude in translations and how a translator’s attitude influences her or his translation.

Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922), one by Hans-Christian Oeser (1998) and the other by Renate Orth-Guttmann (also 1998).

This experimental study links research about use of newspaper mug shots with facial expression research in nonverbal communication.

Abstract:

Purpose – Consumers often discuss brands and companies online, but no research details how service providers’ responses to online reviews influence other readers’ perceptions of the reviews and responses. Based on justice theory and the accountability principle, both integrated in equity theory, the purpose of this paper is to examine how service providers should react to different degrees of negative reviews to enhance readers’ attitudes, patronage intentions, and intentions to spread positive word of mouth.

Abstract:

The current paper investigates the mechanism of attentional convergence viewed as a type of formal text organization which is based on the convergent potential of several types of foregrounding and is used by writers to stimulate cognitive activities of their readers. The article offers the analysis of the "attentional effects" produced by the combinatorial use of the false expectancy mechanism, coupling, convergence of stylistic devices, salient textual positions of the ultimate narrative beginning and ending, intertextual markers. The hypothesis formulated in the article suggests that the ef

Abstract:

This study addressed the effect of casual exposure to braille on the attitudes toward blindness and the use of braille of three groups of sighted university students: students in two sections of a general linguistics course for language arts teachers, one taught by a blind instructor (Group 1) and the other taught by a sighted instructor (Group 2), and students in an English composition class (Group 3). Overall, the respondents in Group 1 expressed the most positive attitudes toward blindness and toward braille. These results suggest that individual readers of braille can positively affect att

Abstract:

Because they may interpret writing too narrowly as a means of displaying data, rather than as communication, some technical professionals produce documents exhibiting particular writing faults. For example, they may not write with a full consciousness of words' meanings in context, or they may fail to assess readers' knowledge levels accurately. Additionally, they may write too sequentially, forget to include clear references, or fail to use vivid language in their reports. Although all these errors derive from shared underlying attitudes towards language, the first evidence a reader is likely

The main purpose of the study was to determine the impact of such a program on student reading abilities and to explore their attitudes toward the program. Data were collected from pretests, posttests, and questionnaires. Findings indicated that the extensive reading program was largely responsible for the higher mean gain on the posttest made by the experimental group, and that the majority of students expressed positive opinions toward the progra

Abstract:

This research aimed to understand social influence of comments by answering the following questions: How do online comments impact subsequent readers’ attitudes and perceptions related to the subject matter covered in the newspaper article? Can such impact vary by the degree of social identification? Drawing on the literature on social norms and the social identification model of deindividuation effects (SIDE), the current study examined how the valence of comments affects comment readers’ responses and how the social identification process influences such responses.

Abstract:

Judy Blume’s Forever is a cultural artifact that gives readers a historical look at society’s attitudes about sex and sexuality at the time of publication in 1975. However, in the #MeToo era, Blume’s text is poised for new analysis in light of important conversations and concerns about sex, sexuality, and consent. In this article, Critical Youth Studies and Queer Theory are used to explore the ways in which young readers can critically engage with Blume’s novel and questions about virginity, sex, sexuality, and consent associated with the #MeToo movement.
