Clinicians make a variety of judgments about their clients, from judging personality traits to making diagnoses, and a variety of methods are available to do so, ranging from observations to structured interviews. A large body of work demonstrates that from a brief glimpse of another’s nonverbal behavior, a variety of...
Controversy regarding moral development research has given rise to a proliferation of theories competing for acceptance. For all these researchers, the work of Lawrence Kohlberg is the pivot point for comparisons, contrasts, and discussions. Still, no theories to date adequately describe and document a theoretically complete conception of moral judgment...
The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...
This study, based on Brunswik's (1952, 1956) lens model,
examined the judgment policies employed by 67 art students
and faculty when they evaluate instruction. Four groups of
subjects, non-art majors, undergraduate art majors, graduate
and bachelor of fine arts students, and faculty members, judged
a series of 35 hypothetical teacher...
Asynthesis & Act is a significant intervention into the discourse of the sublime.

The central problem of this study was to determine
whether ego stage scores are valid predictors of empathy and
mature moral judgment in women graduate counseling students.
The research was based on the theories of ego development

moral values (Hogan, 1970).

This dissertation is an attempt at developing a method for the analysis and estimation of the effects of disruptions due to uncertainties. Such uncertainties may result from design changes and engineering drawing delays in large-scale, complex, research and development, or construction projects.
In order to provide management with a simple...
BACKGROUND: This investigation sought to elucidate the relationship between hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)–induced metastatic behavior and the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) crizotinib and dasatinib in canine osteosarcoma (OS). Preliminary evidence of an apparent clinical benefit from adjuvant therapy with dasatinib in four dogs is described. METHODS: The inhibitors were assessed...
