TL;DR: The results suggest that while low self-control is a significant predictor of both binge drinking and alcohol-related problems, it does not fully account for the relationship between the two outcomes.
Abstract: Introduction
Gottfredson and Hirschi's theory that there is an underlying factor accounting for all sorts of antisocial behaviour has attracted widespread theoretical and empirical attention. One of their most controversial statements is a ‘generality’ hypothesis, a notion that criminal, deviant and reckless acts are highly correlated because they are caused by individual differences in self-control. In this paper, we examine the extent to which self-control accounts for the relationship between two behaviours: binge drinking and involvement in alcohol-related behaviours, including criminal behaviour.
Method
Questionnaires were given to students at a southern US university. A final sample of 241 students (35% males, 91% whites, aged 17–40). One question concerned binge-drinking, 11 others related to other alcohol-related behaviour; a 24-item scale measured self-control and sex was recorded. A probit model was used to test the effect of low self-control on binge drinking and on other alcohol-related behaviours. It was found that self-control exhibits a positive effect on both. But binge drinking and other alcohol-related behaviours are correlated, so a further analysis using a bivariate probit model was undertaken using a naive model (no covariates), an unconstrained model (allowing self-control to exert a unique effect on both outcomes), and a constrained model forcing self-control to be the same for both outcomes.
Results
Our results suggest that while low self-control is a significant predictor of both binge drinking and alcohol-related problems, it does not fully account for the relationship between the two outcomes. In addition, separate estimation for each sex reveal a substantively different pattern of results.
Discussion
Further research is needed to disentangle the differences between the sexes. Situational factors, especially in males, may account for adverse alcohol-related behaviours. Other measures of self-control are also needed. Copyright © 2002 Whurr Publishers Ltd.

TL;DR: This paper found that hostile media perceptions increase officers' likelihood of believing that civilians' attitudes and behaviors toward police have worsened in recent years, and fear of having false allegations lodged against them, which indirectly increase the likelihood of crime is rising in their city, by increasing their perceptions of a police legitimacy crisis.

TL;DR: This work examines existing theories of fit for collaboration technology and proposes a new view, using the theoretical frame of patterns, that is particularly relevant in the virtual contexts that are so important in the dynamic life of organizations today.
Abstract: Continuing advances in the capabilities of communication and information technologies provide a wide array of interesting ways for people to collaborate across space, time, cultures, and organizational boundaries While the use of collaboration technologies spreads, researchers seek answers to understanding how best to match different technology capabilities with the tasks that teams need to accomplish Different theories of task-technology fit have been promoted and these theories help to identify key issues of interest to both researchers and practitioners who seek the answer to the best technology support for collaboration We examine existing theories of fit for collaboration technology and propose a new view, using the theoretical frame of patterns We argue that this fresh perspective is particularly relevant in the virtual contexts that are so important in the dynamic life of organizations today

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used meta-analytic estimates and path analysis to examine whether the construct of employee engagement (EE) shows incremental validity in the prediction of employee effectiveness over other job attitudes such as job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment.
