Five separate studies examined the associations of self-criticism and self-oriented perfectionism with goal pursuit across a variety of domains. Although self-criticism has previously been shown to be related to diminished goal progress, a controversy remains regarding the potential association between aspects of "positive perfectionism," such as self-oriented perfectionism, and enhanced goal p...

background: a great deal of attention has been given to the study of learning disorders. hence, the aim of this research was to study the effect of emotion regulation training in decreasing emotion failures and self-injurious behaviors among students suffering from specific learning disorder. methods: this was an experimental study with the pre-test, post-test and a control group. research popu...

one important issue that any material or test designer should bear in mind is to be careful about developing teaching and testing reading materials which would not be to the benefit of a group of readers or examinees and to the detriment of some others. one of the factors which may cause difference between the performances of english learners or test takers is the selection of reading tests wit...

As sensitivity to social issues increases, corporations face a particularly difficult challenge when confronted with trade-offs between corporate self-interest and the public interest. The difficulty of resolving these social dilemmas in groups is amplified by value COE,flicts across group members and also by conflicts between an individual's personal values and those of the cori)oralion. This ...

Adaptive Optimization Hyperparameter tuning is a big cost of deep learning. Momentum: a key hyperparameter to SGD and variants. Adaptive methods, e.g. Adam1, don’t tune momentum. YellowFin optimizer • Based on the robustness properties of momentum. • Auto-tuning of momentum and learning rate in SGD. • Closed-loop momentum control for async. training. Experiments ResNet and LSTM YellowFin runs w...

Change-oriented feedback (COF) quality is predictive of between-athletes differences in their sport experience (Carpentier & Mageau, 2013). This study extends these findings by investigating how training-to-training variations in COF quality influence athletes' training experience (within-athlete differences) while controlling for the impact of promotion-oriented feedback (POF). In total, 49 at...

Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that can adapt to changes in the workload while maintaining desired QoS levels. This paper focuses on the use of online analytic performance models in the design of self-managing and self-organizing computer systems. A gene...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of positive normative feedback on acquisition and retention of throwing skill. the method was quasi-experimental and the population consisted of the 5th grade elementary female students. 60 students were randomly selected from the population and were randomly assigned to four different groups: normative task-orientation, non-normative task-ori...
