Factor Analytic Support for Psychosocial and Vocational Mentoring Functions

Abstract: Eight 50-word vignettes which portrayed either psychosocial or vocational mentoring functions were presented to 144 college students who rated the desirability of each function on a scale of 1 to 7. A principal axis factor analysis with oblique rotation yielded two factors, one on which the psychosocial functions loaded more heavily (and which accounted for 33.4% of the variance) and one on which the vocational functions loaded more heavily (and which accounted for an additional 5.9% of the variance). The results may help researchers formulate different questions about mentoring than the basic questions which have guided prior work.

Artistic Training and Interest in Visual Art: Applying the Appraisal Model of Aesthetic Emotions:

Abstract: Art experts find art more interesting, particularly when it is abstract or complex. These findings are explored in light of a model of aesthetic emotions rooted in appraisal theories (Silvia, 2005b, 2005d). This model attributes emotional responses to art to cognitive appraisal processes (as opposed to collative motivation, prototypicality, or processing fluency). Two experiments examined whether art experts and novices differed in the appraisals that make art interesting. In Experiment 1, people with art training found complex pictures more interesting, and they appraised them as easier to understand. Using multilevel modeling, Experiment 2 explored whether art training involved a qualitative shift in the appraisals that cause interest. Within-person effects of appraisals on emotions were essentially independent of between-person differences in training. People high and low in training make the same emotional appraisals of art, but they reach different answers to the appraisal questions.

African American and European American Mothers' Beliefs about Negative Emotions and Emotion Socialization Practices.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Mothers' beliefs about their children's negative emotions and their emotion socialization practices were examined. DESIGN: Sixty-five African American and 137 European American mothers of 5-year-old children reported their beliefs and typical responses to children's negative emotions, and mothers' emotion teaching practices were observed. RESULTS: African American mothers reported that the display of negative emotions was less acceptable than European American mothers, and African American mothers of boys perceived the most negative social consequences for the display of negative emotions. African American mothers reported fewer supportive responses to children's negative emotions than European Americans and more nonsupportive responses to children's anger. African American mothers of boys also reported more nonsupportive responses to submissive negative emotions than African American mothers of girls. However, no differences were found by ethnicity or child gender in observed teaching about emotions. Group differences in mothers' responses to negative emotions were explained, in part, by mothers' beliefs about emotions. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in beliefs and practices may reflect African American mothers' efforts to protect their children from discrimination.

Franchisee perceived relationship value

Abstract: Purpose – The paper seeks to develop a conceptualization of franchisee perceived relationship value (FPRV), defined as the trade‐off between perceived net worth of tangible and intangible benefits and costs to be derived over the lifetime of the franchisor‐franchisee relationship, as perceived by the franchisee, taking into consideration the available alternative franchise relationshipsDesign/methodology/approach – A survey of existing literature provided the relevant constructs and concepts for developing a conceptual framework of FPRVFindings – The behavioral aspects of the franchise relationship are explored from the franchisee's perspective, providing an alternative viewpoint of the franchise relationshipPractical implications – The paper affords a useful foundation for making decisions in a franchise relationship, such as the choice of a new franchisee This entails a comparison of an existing franchisee about which much is known versus a new franchisee about which less is known FPRV offers a con
