TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined factors that influence the managers' selection of implementation approaches and found that managers preferred to use implementation approaches that did not match the demands of the situation.
Abstract: Managers are called on to select among implementation approaches according to situational demands. This paper examines factors that influence this selection. To conduct such a study, managers' views of the pragmatics (prospects of success and resistance), potential use, and ethics of several implementation approaches were systematically collected. Explanatory variables included the participating managers' characteristics (level, gender, and experience) and the situation (participative or control-oriented climates). ‘Implementation style’, which measures a manager's preferences for a given implementation approach, was also included as an explanatory factor. The study found that managers had a repertoire of implementation approaches and used some of the approaches contingently. However, managers preferred to use implementation approaches that did not match the demands of the situation. Also, the managers' implementation style influenced their selection and use of implementation approaches. The implications of these findings for managers and management are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an analysis of three years' process-oriented interview data concerning secondary school students' goals and learning strategies in computer-supported collaborative inquiries were investigated over 3 years.
Abstract: This article describes the results of an analysis of three years' process-oriented interview data concerning secondary school students' goals and learning strategies in computer-supported collaborative inquiries. Specifically, the changes in students' goal interpretations and the situational dynamics of students' goals and strategies were investigated over 3 years. By examining how these secondary school students (N = 18, from ages 13-15 years) interpret and explain different situations in a new instructional setting, we were able to determine their subjective and context-specific explanations of the situation. The interview data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis, and nonparametric statistics were then used to authenticate some of the qualitative findings. The data show how the students' explanations and interpretations of their goals and strategies vary during different years of the study. It can be concluded that the students seem to develop both individual and contextual goals, as well...

TL;DR: It is conceivable that a code of ethics might eventually be promulgated by a supradisciplinary body such as the AAAS and that such a code could then be adapted and adopted by other scientific bodies and professional organizations.
Abstract: It is obvious that many disciplines confront ethical problems in research in which situational details may vary, but in which the same ethical principles may prevail. I write not in order to propose a definitive set of rules but to demonstrate how situations posing ethical problems can be reduced and more readily resolved by rational analysis of underlying issues and principles; I hope to stimulate further analysis and dialogue. It might be particularly helpful if researchers in a wide range of disciplines contributed experiences permitting a sharpening of guidelines. Finally, it is conceivable that a code of ethics might eventually be promulgated by a supradisciplinary body such as the AAAS, and that such a code could then be adapted and adopted by other scientific bodies and professional organizations—even by specific agencies such as research institutes, clinics, institutions, and schools.

TL;DR: A theoretical model of believing is presented that can account for the formation of both empirically grounded and metaphysical beliefs.
Abstract: Cognitive neuroscience research has begun to explore the mental processes underlying what a belief and what believing are. Recent evidence suggests that believing involves fundamental brain functions that result in meaningful probabilistic representations, called beliefs. When relatively stable, these beliefs allow for guidance of behavior in individuals and social groups. However, they are also fluid and can be modified by new relevant information, interpersonal contact, social pressure, and situational demands. We present a theoretical model of believing that can account for the formation of both empirically grounded and metaphysical beliefs.
