Abstract. The structure, correlates, and assessment of the Dark Triad are widely discussed in several fields of psychology. Based on the German version of the Short Dark Triad (SDT), we add to this by (a) providing a competitive test of existing structural models, (b) testing the nomological network, and (c) proposing an ultrashort 9-item version of the SDT (uSDT). A sample of N = 969 participants provided data on the SDT and a range of further measures. Our competitive test of five structural models revealed that fit indices and nomological network assumptions were best met in a three-factor model, with separate factors for psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism. The results provided an extensive overview of the raw, unique, and shared associations of Dark Triad dimensions with narcissism facets, sadism, impulsivity, self-esteem, sensation seeking, the Big Five, maladaptive personality traits, sociosexual orientation, and behavioral criteria. Finally, the uSDT exhibited satisfactory psychometric properties. The highest overlap in expected relations between SDT and uSDT, and convergent and discriminant measures was also found for the three-factor model. Our study underlines the utility of a three-factor model of the Dark Triad, extends findings on its nomological network, and provides an ultrashort instrument.

Os pesquisadores têm analisado separadamente, os indicadores de absenteísmo e turnover como critérios comportamentais em investigação organizacional. Nesse sentido, observa-se pouca atenção dada à sua possível inter-relação. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a inter-relacão dos indicadores de absenteísmo e turnover a fim de entender se há relações envolvidas nesses indicadores. O estudo foi baseado no construto de Migliolli e Kroenke (2016), e recebeu enquanto delineamento metodológico uma pesquisa do tipo quantitativa, longitudinal, em caráter de testagem empírica, de abordagem exploratória, com objeto de estudo um caso único, pautados na conveniência de pesquisa. Para tanto, partiu-se do pressuposto de que a integração desses indicadores pode fornecer orientações sobre alguns comportamentos organizacionais. Para consubstanciar a proposta foi construída uma função sinusóide. Os resultados apontam com algumas exceções que o turnover está altamente correlacionado com o absenteísmo, ou seja, o start para o turnover é o alto índice de absenteísmo. Conclui-se que para a empresa diminuir o seu índice de turnover é preciso primeiro implantar ações para a diminuição do índice de absenteísmo.Palavras-Chave: Absenteísmo. Turnover.

In this regard, it is observed the lack of attention given to its possible interrelation. This study aims to analyze the absenteeism indicators interrelation and turnover to understand if there are any associations involved in these indicators. The study was based on Migliolli and Kroenke’s (2016) construct, and while it was a methodological design, received a research of quantitative and longitudinal nature, with empirical and testing aspects, exploratory approach, using a single case as the studying subject, based on the research’s convenience. To do so, it was assumed that the integration of these indicators can provide guidance on some organizational behavior. To substantiate the proposal, a sinusoid function was made. The results point with a few exceptions that the turnover is highly correlated with absenteeism, that is, the start for turnover is the high absenteeism index. So, it is concluded that for the company to decrease its turnover index it is necessary to first implement actions to reduce the absenteeism index.Keywords: Absenteeism. Turnover. Interrelation.

Behavioral Criteria

The theory of cognitive dissonance is one of the recently developed tools that marketing has borrowed from the behavioral sciences to investigate consumer behavior. The classification of goods into convenience, shopping, and specialty categories, on the other hand, is among the most venerable ideas in marketing literature. This article merges the two by using the theory of cognitive dissonance to give a new dimension to the classification of consumer goods. The result is a fresh set of behavioral criteria for classifying goods.

Behavioral Criteria

This study presents data from a large statewide sample of civil commitment respondents, which challenge beliefs about the deleterious effects of the dangerousness standard on the mentally ill and on mental hospitals. Using objective behavioral criteria, this study finds that the mentally ill brought into the civil commitment process and those committed by the courts to involuntary hospitalization are not limited to the violent, much less the violent to others. Their dangerousness is often toward self and is nonviolent. Many even have no allegations of dangerous behavior. Furthermore, most who are violent do not reach high levels of violence. Reasons for continuation of the beliefs that the dangerousness standard causes the abandonment of the nondangerous mentally ill and causes the filling of mental hospitals with the violent are discussed.

Behavioral Criteria

Separation-related problem behavior (SRPB) is a severe behavioral issue in which dogs engage in a variety of undesirable behaviors when the owner is absent, such as destructive behavior and excessive vocalization. Given the severity and high prevalence of SRPB, finding effective treatments is crucial. To date, most treatments have relied on habituation to increase tolerance to owner absence. Additionally, research has typically not utilized direct observations of the dog’s behavior and the treatment implemented with unknown treatment integrity. We evaluated an operant approach to SRPB using owner return as the reinforcer. After collecting baseline, we enrolled five dogs for treatment. Treatment involved differential reinforcement of either absence of problem behavior or occurrence of specific desirable behaviors. Behavioral criteria for delivering reinforcement changed based on the dog’s performance assessed through direct observation. We coached owners to ensure treatment integrity on each trial. From baseline, mean time to SRPB was 27.1 s. During treatment, all dogs increased their ability to stay alone without SRPB compared to baseline, indicating that contingent owner return can be a useful treatment. However, despite four training sessions, only one dog was able to stay alone for over 5 min. Our data demonstrate the slow-going progression of this SPRB treatment and the challenges of this behavioral issue.

Behavioral Criteria

We studied the effects on breathing rhythm of suppressing the major respiratory stimuli (wakefulness, vagal, peripheral and central chemoreceptors) in healthy, unanesthetized dogs. Respiratory frequency (f) was obtained with a pneumotachograph; the state of wakefulness (W) or sleep was determined by EEG and behavioral criteria. During quiet W, f averaged 17 breaths/min and minute volume of ventilation (VI), 8.4 l/min. In slow-wave sleep (SWS), f slowed to 14 breaths/min, and VI decreased to 6.8 l/min. Afferent vagal blockade during SWS slowed f to 4 breaths/min, due primarily to prolongation of expiratory duration (Te) to 13.3 s, and decreased VI to 4.8 l/min. One breath of 100% O2 prolonged Te further to 27.4 s. Central chemoreceptor sensitivity was then reduced by inducting a metabolic alkalosis that combined with SWS, vagal blockade, and hyperoxia prolonged Te to as long as 57 s and reduced f to as low as 1 breath/min. The results demonstrate that afferent respiratory stimuli are essential for sustaining adequate ventilation.

Behavioral Criteria

The importance of inspiratory muscle tone in the maintenance of functional residual capacity (FRC) in newborns was studied in eight premature infants with birth weights of 1,166 +/- 217 g and gestational age 29 +/- 1.9 wk (mean +/- SD). Rib cage and abdominal anteroposterior diameters were monitored with magnetometers, and electromyograms of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles were recorded with surface electrodes. Sleep state was monitored using electrooculogram and behavioral criteria. We assessed the decrease in tonic activity of the inspiratory muscles and the fall in end-expiratory lung volume during apnea compared with the period just preceding apnea. A total of 98 apneas were analyzed. In all instances a decrease in diaphragmatic and intercostal tone was associated with a decrease in the anteroposterior diameter of both rib cage and abdomen, indicating a fall in FRC. These changes were more marked during quiet sleep than during rapid-eye-movement sleep (P less than 0.01). Our results suggest that inspiratory muscle tone is a major determinant of FRC in the newborn.
