We adopted a person–organization (P–O) fit framework to examine applicant attraction to an organization in the context of Web-based recruitment. A total of 121 undergraduate business students participated in a two-stage study first by completing a paper-and-pencil survey and second, by visiting a fictitious recruitment Web site in which the researchers manipulated the fit feedback information p...

1 Anscombe’s term for such knowledge in Intention is “practical knowledge”. However, I have avoided that term as I wish to defend the idea that agents have a distinctive non-observational knowledge of their actions without being committed to her claims about the existence of a kind of knowledge with a reverse direction of fit from ordinary knowledge. 2 The idea originates in English speaking ph...

It has recently been widely argued that all consciousness is perceptual, including the conscious experience of action. This paper argues that there can be a conscious component of the experience of action that is not perceptual. The argument is based on Searle’s concept of “direction of fit” and the conditions of satisfaction of an intention. The conditions of satisfaction of an intention diffe...

1. Abstract: The construction of facial composites by assembling individual facial features is common in criminal investigations. Arguably, the best known such method is E-FIT (electronic facial identication technique). However, although humans have excellent facial recognition ability, it is widely recognised that they often have great difficulty recalling facial characteristics in sufficient ...

Let X,, , X, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with an unknown underlying continuous cumulative distribution function F. Relative to this unknown distribution function suppose one would like to test a null hypothesis concerning the goodness of fit of F to some distribution function using symmetric functions of sample spacings. In some applications the nul...

It seems to be a platitude that belief is governed by a norm of truth. Isn’t the point of belief to believe truths ? Isn’t it a requirement of believing that we should not believe falsehoods? A number of philosophers, however, deny this. Although they recognise that there is an intimate connection between belief and truth, they reject the idea that this connection is normative. Indeed, they tel...

MESERVEY, R., 1971. The coastline fit of Africa and South America. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 9: 233-243. It has become axiomatic that the pre-drift reconstruction of Africa and South America is to be made by fitting together the continental shelves. Although this procedure is very plausible, actually the detailed fit of the coastlines is better than that of the shelves and ...
