TL;DR: This article examined the extent to which college students' academic coping style and motivation mediate their academic stress and performance, and found that students who engaged in problem-focused coping were more likely to be motivated and perform better than students engaging in emotion focused coping.
Abstract: Empirical evidence suggests that a domain-specific coping style may play an important role in the way students manage stressful academic events and perform at college The purpose of this research was to examine the extent to which college students' academic coping style and motivation mediate their academic stress and performance A structural equation analysis showed that the relationship between college students' academic stress and course grade was influenced by problem-focused coping and motivation but not emotion-focused coping As expected, greater academic stress covaried with lower course grades; however, students who engaged in problem-focused coping were more likely to be motivated and perform better than students who engaged in emotion-focused coping Strategies for promoting more effective coping in college students are discussed

12 Aug 2012TL;DR: This is the first study on rumor analysis and detection on Sina Weibo, China's leading micro-blogging service provider, and examines an extensive set of features that can be extracted from the microblogs, and trains a classifier to automatically detect the rumors from a mixed set of true information and false information.
Abstract: The problem of gauging information credibility on social networks has received considerable attention in recent years. Most previous work has chosen Twitter, the world's largest micro-blogging platform, as the premise of research. In this work, we shift the premise and study the problem of information credibility on Sina Weibo, China's leading micro-blogging service provider. With eight times more users than Twitter, Sina Weibo is more of a Facebook-Twitter hybrid than a pure Twitter clone, and exhibits several important characteristics that distinguish it from Twitter. We collect an extensive set of microblogs which have been confirmed to be false rumors based on information from the official rumor-busting service provided by Sina Weibo. Unlike previous studies on Twitter where the labeling of rumors is done manually by the participants of the experiments, the official nature of this service ensures the high quality of the dataset. We then examine an extensive set of features that can be extracted from the microblogs, and train a classifier to automatically detect the rumors from a mixed set of true information and false information. The experiments show that some of the new features we propose are indeed effective in the classification, and even the features considered in previous studies have different implications with Sina Weibo than with Twitter. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on rumor analysis and detection on Sina Weibo.

TL;DR: Positive changes were found across studies in violence-related attitudes and knowledge, and positive gains were noted in self-reported perpetration of dating violence, with less consistent evidence inSelf-reported victimization, however, these findings should be considered preliminary due to limited follow-up and generalizability.

TL;DR: The findings on disengagement in autism parallel those reported in normal 2-month-olds, in whom attention has been described as 'obligatory', and the potential role of general versus domain-specific processes in producing some of the core features of autism is examined.
Abstract: Background: The present study examined the disengage and shift operations of visual attention in young children with autism. Methods: For this purpose, we used a simple visual orienting task that is thought to engage attention automatically. Once attention was first engaged on a central fixation stimulus, a second stimulus was presented on either side, either simultaneously or successively. Latency to begin an eye movement to the peripheral stimulus served as the main dependent measure. The two stimulus conditions (simultaneous and successive) provided independent measures of disengaging and shifting attention, respectively. Performance of children with autism was compared to that of children with Down syndrome and a normal group. Results: The main finding was that relative to both comparison groups, children with autism had marked difficulty in disengaging attention. Indeed, on 20% of trials they remained fixated on the first of two competing stimuli for the entire 8-second trial duration. Evidence is also provided for a more subtle problem in executing rapid shifts of attention. Conclusions: Our findings on disengagement in autism parallel those reported in normal 2month-olds, in whom attention has been described as ‘obligatory’. Discussion focuses on the potential role of general versus domain-specific processes in producing some of the core features of autism.

TL;DR: A collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the characterization of their results is presented in this paper.
Abstract: This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS have already presented some results in terms of simplified models, and we encourage them to continue and expand this effort, which supplements both signature-based results and benchmark model interpretations. A simplified model is defined by an effective Lagrangian describing the interactions of a small number of new particles. Simplified models can equally well be described by a small number of masses and cross-sections. These parameters are directly related to collider physics observables, making simplified models a particularly effective framework for evaluating searches and a useful starting point for characterizing positive signals of new physics. This document serves as an official summary of the results from the 'Topologies for Early LHC Searches' workshop, held at SLAC in September of 2010, the purpose of which was to develop a set of representative models that can be used to cover all relevant phase space in experimental searches. Particular emphasis is placed on searches relevant for the first similar to 50-500 pb(-1) of data and those motivated by supersymmetric models. This note largely summarizes material posted at http://lhcnewphysics.org/, which includes simplified model definitions, Monte Carlo material, and supporting contacts within the theory community. We also comment on future developments that may be useful as more data is gathered and analyzed by the experiments.
