Prior research points to a meaningful confidence-accuracy (CA) relationship for positive identification decisions. However, there are theoretical grounds for expecting that different aspects of the CA relationship (calibration, resolution, and over/underconfidence) might be undermined in some circumstances. This research investigated whether the CA relationship for eyewitness identification dec...

introduction wetlands are classified into four kinds of flows as subsurface, surface, vertical, and hybrid flows. usually, wetlands are planted with common reed (phragmites australis), a rhizomatose plant of the graminae which produces a good yield in green biomass and whose roots can reach a considerable depth and plays a significant role in the wetland self-purification. the treatment efficie...

BACKGROUND Despite the necessity of job retention in achieving return-to-work (RTW) goals, many workers leave their jobs after returning to work. The objective of this study was to examine the impacts of RTW type and period on job retention in Korean workers with occupational injuries and diseases. METHODS Data were derived from the Panel Study of Worker's Compensation Insurance, including da...

We evaluated the two-year effects of variable-retention harvest on chipmunk (Tamias spp.) abundance (N̂) and habitat in mature coniferous forests in western Oregon and Washington because wildlife responses to density/pattern of retained trees remain largely unknown. In a randomized complete-block design, six treatments were applied to 13-ha units at three sites (blocks): four retention levels of...

We apply an organizational embeddedness perspective to examine international assignees’ retention with the organization. Specifically, we hypothesize that assignees’ social ties within and their perceived fit with the host unit positively relate to two sacrifices with leaving the organization: their firmspecific learning during the assignment and their perceived career prospects in the organiza...

Individual researchers express a variety of views about the eyewitness confidence–accuracy relationship, but an argument could be made that the consensus view in the field is that (1) confidence is, at best, a weak indicator of accuracy, (2) the confidence–accuracy relationship becomes weaker still as the retention interval increases, and (3) eyewitnesses who express high confidence tend to be ...

This paper aims to investigate the influence of the interaction between customer satisfaction and switching barriers on customer retention in mobile telecommunication services. The detailed factors regarding switching barriers are classified based on the related literatures. Furthermore, the hierarchical regression analysis is used to analyze the extent to which the factors affect customer rete...

The current study tested the hypothesis that women pretend orgasm as part of a broader strategy of mate retention. We obtained self-report data from 453 heterosexual women (M age, 21.8 years) in a long-term relationship (M length, 32.8 months) drawn from universities and surrounding communities in the southeastern United States. The results indicated that (1) women who perceived higher risk of ...
