Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.
Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments02:46

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...
Impulse01:13

Impulse

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the rate of change of the momentum of an object is the net external force acting on it. The total change in momentum between two timepoints thus depends on both the external force acting on it and the time over which it acts. Describing this mathematically, the total change of an object’s motion is proportional to the force vector and the time over which it is applied. This product is called impulse.
Additionally, it can be shown that the total...
Units of Measurement01:27

Units of Measurement

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It deals with designing, analyzing, and manufacturing machines and mechanical systems. To ensure precise and accurate calculations, units of measurement are used. They provide a standard system for expressing and comparing physical quantities.
There are various well-known historical measurement systems, such as the Babylonian system, the Roman system, the Egyptian system, the Olympian system, the British system, and the Indus...
Timing and Consequences on Behavior01:08

Timing and Consequences on Behavior

In operant conditioning, the timing of reinforcement is crucial. For animals like rats and cats, immediate reinforcement (within a few seconds) is much more effective than delayed reinforcement. For example, a food reward for a rat needs to follow within 30 seconds of pressing a bar to be effective. 
Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant factor...
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments01:30

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short distances...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Time urgency, a key concept in organizational psychology, is multidimensional. New behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) offer reliable and valid measures for this complex construct.

Area of Science:

  • Industrial and Organizational Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Time urgency is a potentially significant construct in organizational psychology.
  • Existing self-report measures for time urgency face psychometric criticisms.
  • The multidimensional nature of time urgency requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the dimensionality of time urgency.
  • To develop psychometrically sound measures of time urgency.
  • To explore the construct validity of new time urgency scales.

Main Methods:

  • Development of time urgency measures using Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS).
  • BARS technique involved substituting qualitative anchors with specific behavioral statements.
  • Testing of the developed scales across diverse subject groups.

Main Results:

  • The BARS technique successfully yielded multidimensional measures of time urgency.
  • The developed time urgency scales demonstrated adequate reliability.
  • The scales exhibited satisfactory construct validity.

Conclusions:

  • Time urgency is confirmed as a multidimensional construct.
  • The BARS-derived scales provide a reliable and valid method for measuring time urgency.
  • Further research should explore the relationships between time urgency, job satisfaction, and work stress.
