TL;DR: In this article, the moral exclusion literature identifies three previously unexamined predictors of abusive supervision: supervisor perceptions of deep-level dissimilarity, relationship conflict, and subordinate performance.
Abstract: The moral exclusion literature identifies three previously unexamined predictors of abusive supervision: supervisor perceptions of deep-level dissimilarity, relationship conflict, and subordinate performance. Invoking theory and research on workplace diversity, relationship conflict, and victim precipitation, we model the three predictors as associated with abusive supervision. Path-analytic tests using data collected from supervisor-subordinate dyads at two time points suggest that supervisor perceptions of relationship conflict and subordinate performance mediate the relationship between perceived deep-level dissimilarity and abusive supervision and that relationship conflict mediates that between perceived deep-level dissimilarity and abusive supervision when supervisors perceive subordinates as having low performance. Estimates suggest that more than 13 percent of working people in the United States become targets of abusive supervision, or nonphysical hostility perpetrated by employees’ immediate superiors (Schat, Frone, & Kelloway, 2006). Examples of behaviors that fall within the abusive supervision content domain include undermining, public denigration, and explosive outbursts (Tepper, 2007). Sustained exposure to abusive supervision is associated with serious negative outcomes for victims and employers, including psychological distress (Tepper, 2000), problem drinking (Bamberger & Bacharach, 2006), and aggression directed against a

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a speckle interferometric survey made with the CHARA camera and 4 m-class telescopes of Galactic O-type stars with V 59% have a visual or spectroscopic companion, but less so among field and especially runaway stars.
Abstract: We present the results of a speckle interferometric survey made with the CHARA speckle camera and 4 m–class telescopes of Galactic O-type stars with V 59% have a visual or spectroscopic companion) but less so among field and especially runaway stars. There are many triple systems among the speckle binaries, and we discuss their possible role in the ejection of stars from clusters. The period distribution of the binaries is bimodal in log P, but we suggest that binaries with periods of years and decades may eventually be found to fill the gap. The mass ratio distribution of the visual binaries increases toward lower mass ratios, but low mass ratio companions are rare among close, spectroscopic binaries (probably because of the difficulty of spectroscopic detection rather than a real deficit). We present distributions of the eccentricity and longitude of periastron for spectroscopic binaries with elliptical orbits, and we find strong evidence of a bias in the longitude of periastron distribution (the Barr effect), which is probably caused by line distortions introduced by circumstellar gas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a unique dataset provided by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) to relate 51 governance provisions to firm operating performance as proxied by return on assets and return on equity.
Abstract: Using a unique dataset provided by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), we relate 51 governance provisions to firm operating performance as proxied by return on assets and return on equity. We show that seven (six) governance provisions are significantly and positively related to return on assets (equity) using at least two of three econometric approaches. We identify 10 corporate governance provisions that are positively linked to return on assets, return on equity or both using at least two of our three econometric approaches. Nine of the corporate governance provisions we examine have recently been mandated by the three major U.S. stock exchanges but only one of them, nominating committee is comprised solely of independent outside directors, is significantly and positively related to firm operating performance. Our results reveal that the corporate governance reforms recently mandated by the three major U.S. stock exchanges are not more closely linked to firm operating performance than are those not so mandated.

30 Jan 2010TL;DR: The Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale (BSI) as mentioned in this paper is a diagnostic system for identifying children with mental retardation, which includes 30 pass-fail items such as word problems, paper cutting, and repeating sentences and digits.
Abstract: Originally released in 1905 by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon, the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale marked the beginning of a new era in the measurement of intelligence. Initially designed as a diagnostic system primarily for identifying children with mental retardation, the first edition of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale included 30 pass-fail items such as word problems, paper cutting, and repeating sentences and digits. The original concepts, such as presenting items of varying levels of difficulty, the use of age-graded norms to predict mental age, and the provision of standardized instructions for administration, set the precedent for the development of future measures of intelligence.

TL;DR: Investigation of the development of pure and co-occurring internalizing and externalizing problems from ages 2 to 12 with the use of latent class growth analysis provided evidence for the concepts of equifinality and multifinality.
Abstract: How and why do internalizing and externalizing problems, psychopathological problems from different diagnostic classes representing separate forms of psychopathology, co-occur in children? We investigated the development of pure and co-occurring internalizing and externalizing problems from ages 2 to 12 with the use of latent class growth analysis Furthermore, we examined how early childhood factors (temperament, cognitive functioning, maternal depression, and home environment) and early adolescent social and behavioral adjustment variables were related to differential trajectories of pure and co-occurring internalizing and externalizing problems The sample (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care) consisted of 1,232 children (52% male) Mother reports on the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991, 1992) were used to construct the trajectories of externalizing and internalizing problems Analyses identified groups of children exhibiting pure and co-occurring internalizing and externalizing problems Children exhibiting continuous externalizing or continuous co-occurring internalizing and externalizing problems across the 10-year period under investigation were more likely to (a) engage in risky behaviors, (b) be associated with deviant peers, (c) be rejected by peers, and (d) be asocial with peers at early adolescence However, children exhibiting pure internalizing problems over time were only at higher risk for being asocial with peers as early adolescents Moreover, the additive effects of individual and environmental early childhood risk factors influenced the development of chronic externalizing problems, although pure internalizing problems were uniquely influenced by maternal depression Results also provided evidence for the concepts of equifinality and multifinality
