To capture and represent conflicts in organizations, this research presents a conceptual model of conflict, conceptualized as vignette. We define a vignette as similar to, yet distinct in important ways from a case in that it is analytical, theory-laden, and of multiple perspectives. It represents key information pertaining to a conflict, such as cause, claims, transitions, actions, and strateg...

We propose tests of the two assumptions under which anchoring vignettes identify heterogeneity in reporting of categorical evaluations. Systematic variation in the perceived difference between any two vignette states is sufficient to reject vignette equivalence. Response consistency - the respondent uses the same response scale to evaluate the vignette and herself - is testable given sufficient...

This vignette is designed to give a short overview about Pareto Distributions and Generalized Pareto Distributions (GPD). We will work with the SPC.we data of our quantmod vignette. Therefore we have to reproduce the SPC.we data in exactly the same way as described the quantmod vignette. In financial data analysis stock indices as the S&P 500 index are typically analyzed by using the returns of...

Two descriptive studies set out a new approach for exploring the dynamic features of children's affective responses (sadness and interest-worry) to another's distress. In two samples (N(study1) = 75; N(study2) = 114), Kindergarten children were shown a video-vignette depicting another child in distress and the temporal pattern of spontaneous expressions were examined across the unfolding vignet...

Relationships between shortand long-term exposure to violent video games and desensitization, as measured through components of moral evaluation, were examined. Sixty-six children aged 5–12 years old completed questionnaires assessing video game experience and preferences and empathy and attitudes toward violence. The children played a violent or nonviolent video game and then responded to vign...

OBJECTIVE To examine associations between menstrual cycle phase, negative mood, sexual risk recognition deficits (assessed via an analogue risk vignette), and in vivo emotion dysregulation. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 714 college women recruited between February 2007 and December 2009. METHODS Participants were randomly assigned to a negative or neutral mood induction and instructed to i...

This article illustrates an innovative method of administering stated choice studies (or vignette experiments) using computers and the Internet. The use of video clips to deliver information to research participants makes vignettes more realistic, helps to engage interest of research participants, and can reduce framing effects. The method also provides research participants with interactive op...
