Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

43.0K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Bullying

8.8K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

7.8K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Formal Charges02:42

Formal Charges

39.9K
In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Biasing of P-N Junction01:16

Biasing of P-N Junction

1.8K
The operation of a p-n junction diode involves various biasing conditions, including forward bias, reverse bias, and equilibrium.
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...

Bias01:22

Bias

7.2K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Scholarly Communication
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • The annual release of Journal Impact Factors (JIFs) provides a quantitative metric for journal influence.
  • The 2018 Impact Factors were released in June 2019, sparking discussion on their significance.

Discussion:

  • This editorial critically examines the reduction of journal importance to a single numerical value.
  • It questions the validity and comprehensive nature of Impact Factors in reflecting a journal's true scientific contribution.

Key Insights:

  • Journal Impact Factors offer a simplified view of journal prestige.
  • Over-reliance on JIFs may overlook other crucial aspects of scholarly work and journal quality.

Outlook:

  • Future evaluations of scientific journals should consider a broader range of metrics beyond the Impact Factor.
  • Promoting a more nuanced understanding of journal value is essential for the scientific community.
