Behavior Description

The authors examine personality variables and interview format as potential antecedents of impression management (IM) behaviors in simulated selection interviews. The means by which these variables affect ratings of interview performance is also investigated. The altruism facet of agreeableness predicted defensive IM behaviors, the vulnerability facet of emotional stability predicted self- and other-focused behaviors, and interview format (behavior description vs. situational questions) predicted self-focused and defensive behaviors. Consistent with theory and research on situational strength, antecedent—IM relations were consistently weaker in a strong situation in which interviewees had an incentive to manage their impressions. There was also evidence that IM partially mediated the effects of personality and interview format on interview performance in the weak situation.

Management Tactics

This study examines interviewers’ sensitivity to impression management in structured interviews by determining the relative importance that interviewers attach to (verbal and nonverbal) impression management as compared to the relative importance that they attach to predetermined competencies. Two samples of interviewers (55 Master I/O psychology students and 18 professional interviewers) watched and evaluated videotaped interviewees who were instructed to put their best foot forward. Results of relative weight analyses showed that the importance of verbal and nonverbal impression management tactics was relatively small as compared to the importance attached to job-related competencies. The type of interview format had some effect on interviewers’ sensitivity to impression management tactics. In particular, in behavior description interviews the interviewers in both samples attached most relative weight to self-focused verbal tactics. Interviewer experience was not related to interviewers’ sensitivity to impression management tactics.

This study investigated the degree to which employment interview performance was associated with the time of day at which the interviews were conducted. Interview time included the actual time of day in which the interview was conducted, as well as the relative order in which applicants were scheduled (e.g., first interview in the morning, last interview prior to lunch, etc.). The data were based upon records of 818 actual interviews conducted between September, 1988 and December, 1990 for a wide range of job classifications in a large West Coast electric utility. The comprehensive structured interview format was used for all interviews included in the study. Interview questions were developed on the basis of a detailed job analysis, and a three-member panel of interviewers rated the applicants using a 7-point or 9-point Likert-type scale tied to benchmark answers. Results indicated that the time of day had no appreciable effect on interview ratings.

The quality of health care for children depends much on the availability of relevant results from medical research with children as subjects. Yet, because of their vulnerability and assumed incompetence to take part in decision-making, children have often been excluded from taking part in medical research, so as to prevent them from harm. Empirical data on children’s competence to consent to such research used to be rare, but recent developments in this field have created more insights in the myths and realities concerning minor patients’ capacities to decide on medical research participation. Against the background of relevant international, European and domestic legal frameworks concerning the rights of children as participants in medical research, this article goes into instruments such as MacCAT-CR, a semi-structured interview format useable as a competence assessment tool for clinical research involving children. On the basis of this, several recommendations are defined to enhance such research, as these may do sufficient justice to the health interests and the capacities of children, while at the same time supporting researchers and child research participants when facing decisions about pediatric research options.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke patients who arrive by emergency medical service (EMS) receive faster emergency department evaluations and improved rates of thrombolytic treatment. However, EMS stroke recognition and compliance with prehospital stroke quality measures are inconsistent. We hypothesized that EMS stroke care is influenced by a complex interaction of knowledge, beliefs, and system-level variables that influence behavior. Methods: Focus groups of paramedics from a single urban/suburban county were assembled to discuss their experiences identifying and transporting stroke patients. Focus groups were conducted using a semi-structured interview format and audio recorded. Transcripts of focus groups were qualitatively analyzed to identify themes, subthemes, and patterns of paramedic responses. The Clinical Practice Guidelines Framework provided the initial coding scheme, which was modified during the coding process by three coders using grounded theory methods, who came to consensus on which codes to apply. Results: Three focus groups (n=13) were conducted to reach theme saturation. Overall, paramedics reported high confidence in clinical gestalt for assessing stroke patients and a strong desire to “do the right thing,” but were unfamiliar with published guidelines. Paramedics identified variability in the clinical presentations of stroke, inadequate or inconsistent hospital guidance, and lack of feedback regarding care as principle barriers to ideal prehospital stroke care. Participants reported conflicting hospital guidance regarding the appropriate time frame for a high priority transport and hospital prenotification. Feedback regarding final diagnosis was viewed as critical for developing improved clinical acumen. Direct to CT protocols were cited as an effective way to integrate EMS into hospital stroke response. Conclusion: In this qualitative analysis, paramedics expressed a desire for clear, hospital-directed guidance and consistent feedback regarding outcomes for suspected stroke patients.

Behavior Description

The present book chapter focuses on e-leadership, reviewing and discussing the latest developments in new (e-)leadership conceptions, such as transformational leadership and others. The authors propose alternative, albeit well-proven measures (e.g., MLQ 5X Short, Bass & Avolio, 1990) and an e-leadership tool called Virtual Team Trainer (VTT; Reips & Ito, 2007). The VTT uses the Online Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (OLBDQ; Reips & Heilmann, 2009), assessing the Ohio State Leadership styles consideration and initiating structure. Alongside personality tests and group process development units that were built from the Existential Mapping Process (EMP; Horowitz, 1985), the tool contains modules that help leaders and team members to identify their Ohio State leadership styles. The VTT relates the results of the self- and other-questionnaires regarding team structure, development, and modifications and improvement of leadership skills. The VTT is available free for use via the iScience Server portal at http://iscience.eu.

The Relationship

The rationale for this study is to explore whether or not the Winnicottian concept of primary maternal preoccupation fits into the identities and features in what male group analysts reflect on and resonate with upon ‘giving birth to’ and conducting a group. A qualitative, individual case-study approach was employed to attempt to discover and understand how male group analysts make sense of Winnicott’s fundamental concept. Wondering and thinking about how a male group analyst ‘holds’ both the maternal and paternal function in a group is also being thought about to ascertain the impact of these features on clinical practice. Exploring the concept of primary maternal preoccupation lends towards a strong focus on the relationship between mother and baby, mirrored in and seen as a metaphor for the relationship between the group analyst and the group members. Doron argues that in disclosing her depth of feeling towards the changing group membership in the group she was conducting, she identified strongly with the state of primary maternal preoccupation. This study will explore the range of feelings associated with the primary maternal preoccupation male group analysts associate with. Three qualified group analysts with five years’ minimum post-qualification experience, with whom there were no boundary issues, were interviewed in a semi-structured interview format to ascertain and develop this understanding. A phenomenological research method was chosen to analyse the collated data from the three individual interviews. Following completion of the three interviews, the participants’ texts were analysed resulting in five overall themes being developed. Potential wider scopes and application of the question, potential clinical implications of the topic under discussion and the potential for developing a theoretical discussion in group analysis on what might be coined ‘paternal preoccupation’ were illuminated and discussed.
