Revealing the strong interaction effect of MnO nanoparticles and Nb2O5 supports with variable morphologies on catalytic propane oxidation

AbstractThe present research explicates how job applicants employ language abstraction to present themselves as a good or bad candidate. According to the LIB theory (Maass, Salvi, Arcuri, & Semin, 1989), we tested the hypothesis that, with positive instruction (i.e., to be recruited), participants’ responses would be more abstract with positive items and more concrete with negative items. Conversely, we expected that participants’ responses would be more concrete with positive items and more abstract with negative ones when the instruction was negative (i.e., to not be recruited). Results of this experiment (N = 85 French participants) confirm our hypothesis and revealed a strong interaction effect between level of language abstraction and goal of self-presentation. Implications for linguistic bias effect and normative behavior in the interpersonal context of recruitment are discussed.

Combination Frequencies

The magnetic interaction of two periodic terms in the de Haas – van Alphen effect is examined for both weak and strong interaction [Formula: see text]. It is found that the amplitudes of the combination frequencies (and, in particular, the difference frequency) generated by interaction in the parallel component of M are always very weak, if the amplitude of one of the periodic terms is dominant and the frequency of the subsidiary term is close to an integral multiple of the dominant frequency. For the perpendicular component of M, however, in the limit of strong interaction, the amplitude of the difference frequency of two nearly equal frequencies can be relatively much stronger than for the parallel component, if the anisotropy of the Fermi surface is such that the two frequencies vary appreciably differently with orientation. These results are discussed in terms of their relevance to various experimental situations, in particular to the observation by Joseph and Thorsen (1965) of a strong difference frequency in the perpendicular component of M, arising from the nearly equal central and noncentral belly frequencies in silver.

Experimental Laboratory

The present research examined the idea that the effectiveness of apologies on promoting fairness perceptions depends on how meaningful and sincere the apology is experienced. More precisely, it was predicted that apologies are more effective when they are communicated by an authority being respectful to others. A study using a cross-sectional organizational survey showed that an apology (relative to giving no apology) revealed higher fairness perceptions, but only so when the authority was respectful rather than disrespectful. In a subsequent experimental laboratory study the same interaction effect (as in Study 1) on fairness perceptions was found. In addition, a similar interaction effect also emerged on participants’ self-evaluations in terms of relational appreciation (i.e., feeling valued and likeable). Finally, these self-evaluations accounted (at least partly) for the interactive effect on fairness perceptions.

Negative Emotions

The present research examined how voice procedures and leader confidence affect participants’ negative emotions and willingness to withdraw. It was predicted that receiving voice would be valued out of instrumental concerns, but only when the enacting leader was high in confidence. Two laboratory experiments indeed showed an interaction between type of voice (pre-decisional vs. post-decisional) and leader’s confidence (low vs. high) on participants’ negative emotions and willingness to withdraw. In particular, post-decision voice only led to more negative responses than did pre-decision voice when the enacting leader was high in confidence. Negative emotions mediated this interaction effect of type of voice on willingness to withdraw. Implications for integrating the leadership and procedural justice literatures are discussed.
