Relationship between Burnout and Work Engagement A significant negative relationship with Emotional Exhaustion was found for engagement (r= -0.35, p< 0.01) based on the above results. From the results, academics who reported a lesser degree of engagement in their work are the ones who are more emotionally exhausted. Here, burnout shows a moderate inverse relationship with engagement, in that the higher degree of burnout reported the lesser the engagement. This result supported the first hypothesis

memory affords an additional opportunity to retrieve either the correct memory trace, retrieve an incorrect memory trace, or to fail to retrieve the memory. As such, having an additional opportunity to retrieve something from memory could boost the likelihood of retrieving either the correct or incorrect trace for A-Br pairs relative to C-D pairs and could potentially explain both the PF and PI observed in the current data. If it were the case that participants are spending more time searching memory

3.7. Model Specification 3.7.1 CVM Model Specification Model Specification of Bivariate Dichotomous Choice Model Following Haab and McConnell ( 2002), in the double-bounded dichotomous format, individuals will be asked two respective questions that has ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ responses, where the second question involves another bid depending on the first answer. That is if the individual answers yes to the first question then he is asked about his WTP for a higher amount. If he answers no to the first question

variance. The shared variance contributes to the determination of factors [2]. There are a number of extraction methods available. In this paper the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method is used. Maximum Likelihood attempts to analyze the maximum likelihood of sampling the observed correlation matrix [9]. When applied to a data set, maximum-likelihood estimation provides

Methods Experiment design and participants A total of 200 participants were recruited though flyers passed on campus and email invitations. In the flyers and invitations, the experiment was advertised as a food product experiment that involves eye-tracking technology. Each participant was compensated with $25 for his or her participation upon showing up. About half of the participants were students and the other half were non-students. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of the two conditions

Woodcock-Johnson achievement test and used the student's GPA based on school records (Mistry, 2008).  Researchers used cross-lagged and autoregressive techniques within a structural equation modeling to analyze the data.  Path analysis and full-information maximum likelihood estimation procedures were also used (Mistry, 2008). Mistry, White, Benner, and Huynh (2008) study revealed teachers and mothers’ expectations against youths standardized test scores had stability in teachers’ and

The study sought to address and understand how the “dumb-jock” stereotype influences a student’s academic self-concept and academic identity. Student-athletes have multiple identities while in college which can be influenced by stereotype threat. Academic identity and athletic identity both heavily influence a student’s self-perception. The researchers surveyed collegiate athletes across gender, race, ethnicity, athletic division, and sport about their experiences as student-athletes at their respective

1. Introduction In addition to the challenges experienced in a university context, nursing students also contend with problems associated with patients, educators, and the hospital environment during clinical practice. Thus, these aspects contribute to the stress related to being a nursing student (Karadag et al., 2008). Stress is a factor of key importance because it negatively affects nursing students ' academic performance and health (Rhead, 1995; Sheu et al., 1997). Consistently, studies report

Factor analysis According to Maria& Eva, the factor analysis is a technique in the statistics to observe variability in the correlated variables in terms of lowers number of unobserved variables, which is necessary for factorization (Maria& Eva, 2012). Dehak, Kenn, Dehak, Dumouchel, & Ouellet, further stated that, the factor analysis is useful technique to investigate the relationship between the variables in complex concepts and the main purpose of the factor analysis is to reduce the number of
