The current study is an attempt to compare online and offline results of research on students’ value orientations. main scientific methods approaches used in the are comparative analysis, comparison statistical rank correlation. We defined questionnaire’s content, formed its text chose homogeneous representative groups. Results obtained both with classical (paper) technology information communi...

In this work, through investigating a series of liquid, glassy, and crystalline samples with ultrafast multiple-mode 2D IR and IR transient absorption methods, we demonstrated that the signal anisotropy of vibrational relaxation-induced heat effects is determined by both relative molecular orientations and molecular rotations. If the relative molecular orientations are randomized or molecular r...

The colorful representation of orientation preference maps in primary visual cortex has become iconic. However, the standard representation is misleading because it uses a color mapping to indicate orientations based on the HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space, for which important perceptual features such as brightness, and not just hue, vary among orientations. This means that some orienta...

Visual attention has long been known to be drawn to stimuli that are physically salient or congruent with task-specific goals. Several recent studies have shown that attention is also captured by stimuli that are neither salient nor task-relevant, but that are rendered in a color that has previously been associated with reward. We investigated whether another feature dimension-orientation-can b...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a model that takes into account both personal and contextual factors in explaining individuals’ motivation to share their knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – Drawing from research on achievement motivation and social exchange, it is posited that goal orientations provide a framework for individuals’ knowledge sharing by shaping how they cog...

Drawing on the social intuitionist model, the authors studied the hypothesis that social value orientations are expressed automatically in behavior. They compared spontaneous and more deliberated decisions in the dictator game and confirmed that social values determine behavior when responses are based on the automatic system. By means of both mediation and experimental analyses, the authors fu...

How can university students' motivation to learn be enhanced? To achieve this, first we should know: What motivational value do students attribute to each particular component of learning environments? To which degree is this value mediated by students' motivational orientations? To respond to these questions, 1,166 university students were administered two questionnaires, one for assessing the...

People seek advice so as to improve the quality of their decisions. But is the advice provided of a consistent quality in all circumstances? We suggest it is not and contend that advice formulation is a selective process, with the quality of advice being shaped by a number of factors, including the social value orientations of the advisors and knowledge asymmetry between advisors and their clie...

We propose a method for extracting semantic orientations of words: desirable or undesirable. Regarding semantic orientations as spins of electrons, we use the mean field approximation to compute the approximate probability function of the system instead of the intractable actual probability function. We also propose a criterion for parameter selection on the basis of magnetization. Given only a...
