Severe Discrepancy

This study addresses the issue of achievement-potential discrepancy by applying a standard-score and regression-analysis procedure to data on new LD placements. Questionnaires were mailed to a random sample of teachers of LD students in Kansas and Iowa. Results indicated that only two-thirds of the initially placed pupils exhibited a severe discrepancy. A comparison between IQ scores of underachievers and non-underachievers suggested that the latter tended to be slow learners. A comparison between the results of the standard-score and regression-analysis procedures revealed a large overlap between the two as well as a statistically significant relationship. The use or nonuse of the regression analysis did not have the expected effects on identifying a severe discrepancy.

Online Ratings

Barenboym, Wurm, and Cano (2010) recently showed that significant differences emerged for ratings gathered online and in person. They also showed that researchers could reach different statistical conclusions in a regression analysis, depending on whether the norms were gathered online or in person. In the current study that research was extended. Familiarity ratings gathered online were significantly higher than those gathered in the lab, for a set of 300 potential stimuli. The in-person ratings correlated significantly better with an existing database of familiarity values. It is also shown that under three different grouping methods, online and in-person familiarity ratings produce different sets of stimuli. Finally, it is demonstrated that in each case, different conclusions are reached about variables that have a significant relationship with familiarity. Simulations show that the effects are driven disproportionately by higher intra-item variability in the online ratings. Studies in which stimuli are grouped on the basis of ratings can be affected by the choice of rating methodology.

This paper analyses the commercial and socio-demographic antecedents of the importance of price in buyers' decisions. The study uses ordinal regression in order to analyze the data obtained from a random sample of consumers of frequently purchased products; these consumers were surveyed in different stores. The results demonstrate that shopping enjoyment and brand loyalty have an influence over the importance of price. However, responsibility for shopping (purchase frequency) does not show a significant relationship. Furthermore, some interesting socio-demographic characteristics were found in the context of the study that can be analyzed in future research.

El tamaño es una variable contingente que puede influir en los resultados de las empresas. En este trabajo se pretende contrastar la existencia o no de una relación significativa entre tamaño y resultados empresariales de las empresas agrarias, en particular de las cooperativas hortofrutícolas españolas. Para ello, se realiza un estudio empírico en base a la información económica y financiera obtenida de los registros oficiales de las cooperativas agrarias dedicadas a la comercialización de frutas y hortalizas sobre el cual se ha aplicado un análisis de regresión. El estudio demuestra que no existe una relación significativa positiva entre los resultados empresariales y el tamaño de este tipo de entidades, por lo que se puede afirmar que la capacidad competitiva de una empresa agraria depende de su propia capacidad de gestión y no de un factor de contingencia como el tamaño. ABSTRACTSize is a contingency variable that can influence firms’ performance. This study aims to contrast whether exists or not a significant relationship between organizational size and performance in agrifood firms, particularly in the case of Fruit and Vegetables Cooperatives in Spain. Therefore, an applied empirical study using regression analysis is carried out from economic and financial information of such companies obtained from official registers. The study shows that there is not a significant positive relationship between performance and size for such type of firms. RESUMOO tamanho da cota é uma variável que pode influenciar os resultados das empresas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo contrastar a existência de uma relação significativa entre tamanho e desempenho dos negócios das empresas agrícolas, em especial as cooperativas hortícolas espanhóis. Para fazer isso, um estudo empírico é realizado com base em informações obtidas dos registros oficiais das cooperativas agrícolas que se dedicam à comercialização de frutas e legumes de informação económica e financeira sobre a qual foi aplicada uma análise de regressão. O estudo mostra que há uma relação positiva e significativa entre o desempenho da empresa e do tamanho de tais instituições, para que possamos dizer que a competitividade de uma empresa agrícola depende da sua própria capacidade de gestão e não um fator contingência como tamanho.

The study was motivated by the need to harness technological advancement to enhance agricultural production in Osun State. The study assessed the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) tools for sharing of agricultural related information in Osun State, Nigeria. The study illustrated the socio economic characteristics of the Respondent, identified the available ICT tools for sharing of various agricultural related information, identified agricultural related information shared through various available ICT tools, measured the frequency of utilization of the identified ICT tools and assessed the severity of challenges encountered by Respondent in the utilization of ICT tools in the study area. Sixty percent of Extension Agents in each of the three zones in the study area were sampled. The data collected were examined using descriptive statistics tools while regression analysis was used to test the significant relationship between the socio-economic characteristics of Respondents and their frequency of utilization of ICT Tools for sharing of agricultural related information in the study areas. The analysis of the data was carried out with the use of SPSS version 22. The findings revealed that the average age of Respondents was 39 years; more than half of the respondent (67.1%) were male; most (81.4%) of the respondent were married; majority (68.6%) of the respondent were Christian; about (70%) of the respondent had tertiary education. The mean household size was 5 members per household; majority of the respondents belonged to one association or the other and they access the internet with their own data plan. Radio (wms 2.7) was ranked first as most available ICT tools for sharing information in the study area. Furthermore, information on availability and sources of farm inputs (wms2.3) was ranked most shared information while information on storage facilities (wms1.0) was ranked the least shared information by the Respondents. Also, the initial cost of procurement of ICT gadgets, cost of maintenance, risk of theft of gadget, and fluctuating power supply were the major challenges encountered with the use of various ICT tools. Regression analysis identified a significant relationship between selected socio-economic characteristics of the Respondents and frequency of Utilization of ICT Tools for sharing Agriculture related information. The study recommended use of Radio as medium through which agricultural related information should be shared bearing in mind its ease of access, little cost of procurement and maintenance, extent of reach and frequency of usage among the respondents. Provision of access to internet facility was recommended in order to afford respondents a limitless right to use information on the World Wide Web. Finally, alternative source of power to enable respondents recharge their ICT gadgets was recommended to make up for unreliable electricity supply.

Youth entrepreneurship has become an interesting phenomenon that has attracted much attention from academics, practitioners, and policymakers across the globe during recent years. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the demographic determinants of youth entrepreneurial success. Employing explanatory research design with a sample of 100 youth entrepreneurs in Gweru who completed the questionnaires, the hypotheses are analyzed using Pearson's correlation and regression analysis in an effort to empirically determine the influence of demographic factors on youth entrepreneurial success. The results show a strong and significant association between entrepreneurial experience and youth entrepreneurial success, a weak positive and significant association between educational qualification and youth entrepreneurial success, a weak negative association between age and youth entrepreneurial success, and a weak negative and significant relationship between gender and youth entrepreneurial success. These outcomes have significant implications for theory, practice, and future research.
