Unlike most forms of artistic expression, the feature film is the collaborative product of many individuals. The comparative impact of these separate contributions was assessed in 2,323 movies nominated for Academy Awards in the major categories. Two criteria of a film's impact were defined (best picture honors and movie guide ratings) along with 16 potential predictor variables (direction, male and female leads, male and female supporting roles, screenplay, art direction, costume design, makeup, cinematography, film editing, score, song, visual effects, sound effects editing, and sound) and five control variables (release date and the genre of drama, comedy, romance, and musical). Multiple regression analyses indicated that between 30 percent and 75 percent of the variance in impact could be explained using a subset of these factors.

The aim of this study is to examine principals attitudes toward managerial and leadership jobs, to examine whether there are gender differences in these variables and whether number of shifts, number of student and workload predict managerial and leadership jobs in school. 119 elementary and secondary school principals participated in the study. For this study the scales for managerial and leadership jobs has been constructed. The results show that participants confirm attitudes about managerial and leadership jobs in school and those they exist as planning, organizing, evaluating and leading and they are interrelated. Furthermore, according to the results of regression analyses in the prognosis toward managerial and leadership jobs number of shift have statistically significant negative predictive value. Results of this study, according to the T-test, show that there are no gender differences on attitudes about managerial and leadership jobs between male and female. It could be concluded, with the caution, that principals provides less managerial and leadership jobs in bigger school, what can be logically explained, because of bigger administrative-technical and professional department in bigger multi shift schools and job delegation to that departments.

The Impact

ObjectiveTwo distinct types of endometrial carcinoma (EC) with different etiology, tumor characteristics, and prognosis are recognized. We investigated if the prognostic impact of comorbidity varies between these 2 types of EC. Furthermore, we studied if the recently developed ovarian cancer comorbidity index (OCCI) is useful for prediction of survival in EC.Materials and MethodsThis nationwide register-based cohort study was based on data from 6487 EC patients diagnosed in Denmark between 2005 and 2015. Patients were assigned a comorbidity index score according to the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and the OCCI. Kaplan-Meier survival statistics and adjusted multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to investigate the differential association between comorbidity and overall survival in types I and II EC.ResultsThe distribution of comorbidities varied between the 2 EC types. A consistent association between increasing levels of comorbidity and poorer survival was observed for both types. Cox regression analyses revealed a significant interaction between cancer stage and comorbidity indicating that the impact of comorbidity varied with stage. In contrast, the interaction between comorbidity and EC type was not significant. Both the CCI and the OCCI were useful measurements of comorbidity, but the CCI was the strongest predictor in this patient population.ConclusionsComorbidity is an important prognostic factor in type I as well as in type II EC although the overall prognosis differs significantly between the 2 types of EC. The prognostic impact of comorbidity varies with stage but not with type of EC.

The aim of the present study was to investigate if smoking habits covariated with musculoskeletal problems among a group of male and female farmers and a control group from the general population. A questionnaire was sent to all farms and to a group of controls from the general population in the county of Uppsala. It comprised questions about smoking habits and musculoskeletal problems. Crosstabulations and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. In the analyses we included smoking habits, age, gender and group belonging, e g farmers or controls. Age did not give a higher risk for musculoskeletal problems in any of the groups. The results showed that problems were related both to gender and group combined or not combined with smoking habits.

Scholars have established various risk factors that increase the risk of sexual victimization (SV) among college students. However, little research has focused on gender norm conformity as a risk factor of SV. Addressing this gap in the literature, we conducted a study with 322 men and 815 female university students. Over 51% of women and 23% of men indicated experiencing some form of SV in their lives. Logistic regression analyses revealed various gender differences and established that gender norms predict SV while controlling for established risk factors. We discuss these findings and their implications for prevention measures of SV.

The 1960S

Today’s franchises of fantastic media depend on visual effects for their existence, not just in their local textual homes (a feature film, a TV episode, a videogame) but across multiple screens and platforms, working transmedially to build ongoing storyworlds, imbue bodies with evidence of life, and ultimately to travel freely as spectacular subgenres in themselves. In this book’s four case studies, major fantastic franchises of the last half century—Star Trek, Star Wars, the Middle Earth films, and The Matrix—reveal themselves as busy sites of negotiation between the late analog era of the 1960s and 1970s and the digital blockbuster era that followed. Arguing that this colonization took place largely in and through the visual effects design and engineering of high-profile media properties, the chapters explore television series art direction and its relationship to an amateur “blueprint culture,” documenting the contents of media’s imaginary worlds; the previsualization practices through which visual effects rebrand complex webs of creative contributions under the sign of the techno-auteur; the animation traditions that bring special-effects-assisted performances to life; and the role of special effects in larger circuits of visual culture. Approaching special effects both as specific technological practices and discursive performances of behind-the-scenes labor, More Than Meets the Eye plumbs the analog roots of contemporary transmedia franchises to find the unexpected behaviors and impacts of special effects that hide in plain sight, constructing perceptions of narrative worlds and characters as on another level they construct our collective ways of imagining franchise cinema, digital media, and technological change.

This paper describes two related studies. The general hypothesis was that the rhythmic patterning of dialogue is related to how onlookers perceive certain psychological characteristics of the speakers. The experimental procedures in both studies involved evaluation by independent observers of the “credibility” of participants. In the first study 30 female college students were assigned to two conditions; each subject was either to read or to listen to monologues and dialogues (between senators and witnesses) from the “Watergate” hearings. There were significant differences in student ratings between listening and reading conditions for witnesses engaged in dialogues. In the second study 53 male and female subjects listened to tapes or read transcripts of dialogue from four senator-witness pairs. As in Study 1 subjects rated witnesses on a number of dimensions including credibility. Non-lexical qualities of speech in the taped dialogues were analyzed using a PDP-12 computer and these data were correlated with subjects' credibility ratings. The multiple regression analyses indicated that mean turn time, variability of pauses, and similarity in duration of pauses and vocalizations were significantly related to ratings of witnesses.

This study examined the association of organisational justice with pain among employees of a large organisation. Employees ( n = 1829) completed measures of pain, fair pay, organisational justice, job satisfaction and stress. Logistic regression analyses found that organisational justice was unrelated to pain among women, but men with higher perceptions of fair pay were more likely to report chronic pain as were men with lower perceptions of distributive justice. This is the first study indicating that fair pay and distributive justice are both unique predictors of chronic pain in men. The findings have implications for supporting employees with chronic pain.

Physical Activity Recall

This study examined associations between psychosocial factors and physical activity in a group of youth (n = 520). Students completed the Previous Day Physical Activity Recall and a survey of potential determinants of physical activity. Regression analyses of intentions to be physically active revealed that enjoyment and self-efficacy predicted intentions for both males and females. Attitudes predicted moderate to vigorous activity (MVPA), and enjoyment and self-efficacy predicted vigorous activity (VPA) for males. Self-efficacy predicted both MVPA and VPA for females. The findings suggest that intervention programs targeted at youth should include developmentally appropriate activities that are fun and promote physical activity self-efficacy.

This study compared vicarious trauma in a random sample of male and female clinicians who treat survivors (n=95) and those who treat offenders (n=252).A national survey was conducted with members of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) and the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC). These data were used to test the relative contribution of variables theorized to contribute to two vicarious trauma effects (avoidance and intrusions) using the Impact of Event Scale. The sample reported high levels of avoidance and intrusions. Variables associated with vicarious trauma differed based on client population served. Sequential regression analyses were used to examine theoretically derived variables. Implications for practice and further research are discussed.
