Introduction Employee engagement is a workplace tactic that brings about the ideal conditions for all associates of an organization to: excel each day, commit to their companies’ goals, and be driven to contribute to the organization’s success. Employee engagement can be measured and can vary from poor to great. Nurturing employee engagement in the workplace can also deepen communication between members of an organization and increase the overall productivity. The purpose of this study is to…

et al. (1978) addressed this issue by calculating a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between primary (i.e. structured interview used for over 2 decades) and secondary raters (i.e. board certified psychiatrists with 9 and 4 years of experience). Researchers found that inter-rater reliability between the primary psychiatrist and the two other psychiatrists was .62. Because the reliability coefficient is relatively high, we can assume that the BDI is a reliable test to assess the…

Friendships and Self-Esteem Correlate The feeling of connectedness has been shown in past research to positively correlate with a person’s self-esteem. Those who felt they belonged and had some sort of connection with others overall had better self-esteem, as well as a better mental state, such as lower symptoms of depression (Dang, 2014). The purpose of this study was to see if there is a positive correlation between self-esteem and social inclusion by measuring self-esteem and friendships.…

Computer exercise one and two Nominal level data was identified based on the parameters that it is mutually exclusive and exhaustive. It cannot be ranked but it maybe assigned a number such as one or two for classification purposes Burns, Grove, Gray (2013), Using the bladder study provided in SPSS, nominal level data were identified as, education level, ethnicity, zip code and marital status. Two modes were identified from the nominal level data. For ethnicity the mode was African American (n…

little variation between student’s maladaptive perfectionism scores. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and adaptive perfectionism scores (r (523) = -.14, p < .001). A significant negative correlation was found. This supports our first hypothesis and suggests it was correct in stating that those scoring high in procrastination would score low in adaptive perfectionism. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and maladaptive perfectionism…

Analysis Section: In order to determine if prevention programs particularly the BUILD program, are successful in helping reduce youths at risk I conducted a research study. This study consisted of a one group post-test only design and quantitative data, the sample size consisted of 26 youth participant’s, 13 were male and 13 were female, all were African American, all were participants of the BUILD program, all attended Leland elementary, and there ages varied from 5-15 years old.

Final Paper: Measuring Change in HRQoL of ITP Patients in Japan treated by Eltrombopag Introduction Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder, which is characterized by a low platelet count caused by both increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production [1]. In Japan, there are 20,000 patients with ITP and the incidence of ITP is estimated at 3,000 per year [2]. Major signs and symptoms include red spots and/or bruising on the skin, prolonged bleeding…

Discussion This longitudinal study assessed the extent to which academic achievement and engagement were predicted from the academic achievement and engagement of friends and network members. Concurrent Relations As expected, adolescent’s academic achievement was highly correlated with that of their friends and network members. This is consistent with findings from U.S. studies. Ryan (2001) found that students’ academic levels were similar to group’s academic levels with the correlations…

points scored increases, so does the total number of wins. On the other hand, the second scatter plot (Points Allowed vs. Total Wins) proves, as the points allowed increases, the total number of wins decreases. The calculation of the correlation coefficient (r) between points scored (x) and total wins (y) is 0.754 meaning that there is a strong uphill (positive) linear relationship between the two…

Since the study was conducted in Texas of United States, the demographic distribution here may be different from other part or State of the country. Moreover, for the special locate of Texas, there are more Mexican immigrants or Mexican Americans, the racial differences may varied from any other state of the country. Furthermore, the participants were selected through convenient sampling instead of random sampling, which may not represent all the middle school students with different cultural…
