Four experiments demonstrated implicit self-esteem compensation (ISEC) in response to threats involving gender identity (Experiment 1), implicit racism (Experiment 2), and social rejection (Experiments 3-4). Under conditions in which people might be expected to suffer a blow to self-worth, they instead showed high scores on 2 implicit self-esteem measures. There was no comparable effect on expl...

We present a comparative analysis of patterns of exposure to job stressors and stress-related workers' compensation (WC) claims to provide an evaluation of the adequacy of claims-driven policy and practice. We assessed job strain prevalence in a 2003 population-based survey of Victorian [Australia] workers and compared these results with stress-related WC statistics for the same year. Job strai...

Entity matching is a key task for data integration and especially challenging for web data. Effective entity matching typically requires the combination of several match techniques and finding suitable configuration parameters such as similarity thresholds. We investigate to which degree the use of machine learning helps to semi-automatically determine suitable match strategies with a limited a...

OBJECTIVE To compare 12-month healthcare costs between employees with versus without diagnosed opioid abuse within 12 months after an injury-related workers' compensation (WC) or short-term disability (STD) claim.

Despite the popularity of financial compensation as a means for addressing trust violations, the question whether (more) money can indeed buy trust back remains largely unexplored. In the present research, we focus on the role of violation type and compensation size. The results of a scenario study and a laboratory experiment show that financial compensation can effectively promote the restorat...

Pseudohypacusis or the intentional feigning of hearing loss is a challenging situation in the medicolegal evaluation of hearing levels.

This certificate is quite sufficient under Memorandum No. 211, paras. 38 and 39, issued by the Insurance Commissioners, to enable any Approved Society to pay sick benefi...

This dissertation presents original techniques for a class of problems that can be collectively referred to as relationship extraction. This machine learning task involves extracting tuples from free text, the exemplar instantiations of which help model the target relationship. A wide range of relationships are explored, including semantic relationships between words, their translation equivale...
