The issues raised by Cardinal and coworkers are important and related to the misuse of bibliometrics like the impact factor, but are also consistent with the data and interpretation in the Knudson (2013a) article. Both these articles correctly point out problems with the misuse of bibliometric variables in evaluating journals and the adverse consequences this has for research in Kinesiology and other fields. More research documenting the limitations and appropriate use of bibliometrics in evaluating Kinesiology-related journals, integrated with surveys of scholars defining the field of Kinesiology and its journals, are important solutions to the problems of Kinesiology identity and impact factor obsession.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90590934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “big humor/little humor” phenomenon explicates cross-cultural meanings and implications of humor expressions and functions. “Big humor” is a conception that humor is created by professionals, whereas the “little humor” view is that people possess humor as a personality trait. Participants were asked to nominate up to three humorists they know and to specify their reasons for nomination. They also self-evaluated on a scale of 1 to 10, the importance of humor and their own humor. Results showed that students from Vancouver nominated ordinary people more, valued humor more, and considered themselves more humorous than students in Hong Kong and Hangzhou.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76109866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple and intuitive pictorial model of the transparent surface appearance is presented, followed by a discussion of the transparency processing (mid- or high-level). Two zones of perception that determine the proper perception of light-permeable surfaces are distinguished, each with their own phenomena responsible for the formation of transparency perception cues (transmittance/absorbance or reflectance). The main visual processing mechanisms are discussed, and some parallels to machine vision are found. Finally, a short checklist is presented to provide practical advice for architects dealing with large surfaces of glass in their projects.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73713715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One difficulty, however, in using goldfish as subjects is that of suitable equipment. The present paper investigated the extent to which operant manipulanda designed for rodents could be used with goldfish. Attempts were made to shape the responses of goldfish to an omnidirectional ceiling rod as a manipulandum using a reinforcer pellet intended for mice, which was not successful. A previously described goldfish reinforcer was used successfully to shape a response by two goldfish, maintained by continuous reinforcement to obtain a low but consistent response rate over several sessions. Difficulties associated with the reinforcer as well as the rodent manipulandum appear to limit their utility in a novel application such as the one presented here.","PeriodicalId":37202,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive Results in Social Psychology","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90554065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new explanation of the verbal overshadowing effect was tested by manipulating whether participants described features that were more or less salient for face identification. To manipulate the distinguishing features, distractor faces were created with gray scale photographs of men identical to the targets except for the eyes and mouth (Study 1) or eyebrows and nose (Study 2). In both studies, participants (Study 1: N = 177, 81 men, M age = 18.9 yr.; Study 2: N = 144, 133 men, M age = 20.5 yr.) were assigned to one of two verbalization conditions or a control condition. After a target face was presented, participants in the two verbalization conditions were asked to describe specific features—either eyes and mouth, or eyebrows and nose—before a recognition test. Participants in the control condition completed a filler task.

The lack of information about the process creates uncertainty in the timing of recruitment closure. This exploratory study was conducted to demonstrate a rigorous approach to reaching saturation through two-stage establishment of a codebook used for thematic analysis. The codebook development involved inductive analysis with six interviews, followed by a refinement of the coding system by applying them to an additional 33 interviews. These findings are discussed in relation to plausible pattern in code occurrence rate and suggested sample sizes for thematic analysis.
