Negotiator goals, relationships, expectations, and behavior are tested as predictors of (a) the profit-or-loss outcome of the negotiation, (b) the negotiator's perceptions of the other party, and (c) the negotiator's satisfaction with the negotiation. A path model was tested based on separate meta-analyses to create the correlation table of the seven variables. The findings demonstrate that to be successful, negotiations should focus on goals and cooperation within the negotiation. High goals and positive relationships started negotiators on the path to successful outcomes.

Intimate partner violence exposure predicts antisocial behavior via pro-violence attitudes among males with elevated levels of cortisol. Soc.

An important factor appears to be the adolescent's desire to have a child. ...

Many studies have tested for moderation, but results of research studying moderators have been inconclusive. There have been few theory-based studies and there have been few consistent findings. Far fewer studies have tested for mediation effects, but these studies have generally been theory-driven, have more often built upon one another in an incremental fashion, and have yielded consistent results. In particular, there is substantial evidence for the mediating role of family relationship in the relation between stressors and child and adolescent psychological symptoms. Future studies should integrate moderator and mediator research by testing for specific mediators in relation to particular moderating contexts, so that we can better understand the complex ways in which stressful life experiences affect the well-being of children and adolescents.

Research paper thumbnail of Understanding Perceived Overqualification: Expanding the Criterion Space, Establishing Drivers, and Developing a Model

As applicants with more qualifications enter the workforce and managers reject individuals with m... more As applicants with more qualifications enter the workforce and managers reject individuals with more skills than a job requires, overqualification grows in importance to organizations. Perceived overqualification, or an individual's selfperception as overqualified, is an under-researched topic, however. This dissertation outlines a theoretical model for understanding both how perceived overqualification develops and how it impacts outcomes. Results show that generalized self-efficacy and objective overqualification predict perceived overqualification. Furthermore, perceived overqualification affects state positive affect, job satisfaction, absenteeism, and self-esteem through justice perceptions. Implications for future research and practice are also detailed.

Research paper thumbnail of Retesting in Selection: A Meta-Analysis of Practice Effects for Tests of Cognitive Ability

Previous studies indicate that as many as 25-50% of applicants in organizational and educational ... more Previous studies indicate that as many as 25-50% of applicants in organizational and educational settings are retested with measures of cognitive ability. Researchers have shown that practice effects are found across measurement occasions such that scores improve when these applicants retest. This study uses meta-analysis to summarize the results of 50 studies of practice effects for tests of cognitive ability. Results from 107 samples and 134,436 participants revealed an adjusted overall effect size of .26. Moderator analyses indicated that effects were larger when practice was accompanied by test coaching, and when identical forms were used. Additional research is needed to understand the impact of retesting on the validity inferences drawn from test scores.

This present study examined the ability of the three-factor model to predict alcohol use.
