Examining the relationship between mother and teacher ratings of kindergarten students' behaviour using a strength-based measurePopovic, Jillian 11 1900 (has links)
The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA; L.eBuffe & Naglieri, 1999), a standardized
strength-based measure, was used with 125 kindergarten children from two different regions in
British Columbia to investigate the relationship between mother and teacher ratings of students’
strengths and behaviour problems. Results suggest that the level of agreement between mother
and teacher ratings for children’s strengths is similar to the level of agreement between mother
and teacher ratings for children’s problem behaviours. The level of agreement between motherreported
and teacher-reported scores was found to be low for all DECA scales and most DECA
items, with some differences found upon examination of the sample by gender. The findings
revealed three main trends: first, a higher degree of correspondence and a lower degree of
difference was found between mother and teacher ratings for the Self-Control scale and items,
compared to the other scales and items; second, a lower degree of correspondence and a higher
degree of difference was found between mother and teacher ratings for the Attachment scale and
items, compared to other scales and items; third, the level of agreement between mothers and
teachers ratings was higher for boys than for girls. These patterns of cross-informant
correspondences and differences are discussed in the context of the need for practitioners to
obtain rating information from both mothers and teachers, since each rater provides a unique
perspective. Furthermore, the importance of highlighting children’s strengths in the assessment
process is emphasized.

The effect of experiential analogies on consumer perceptions and attitudesGoode, Miranda R. 05 1900 (has links)
What does driving a sports car have to do with a first kiss, shopping in New York or purchasing a pair of designer shoes? These comparisons were used in a recent ad campaign for the Alfa Romeo Spider and are prime examples of an experiential analogy. The predominance of experiential analogies in recent advertisements suggests that they are persuasive. Yet understanding what comes to mind when consumers process these comparisons remains to be investigated. By drawing on analogy and consumption experience literatures, an important moderator of analogical persuasiveness is identified, preference for the base experience, and the influence of emotional knowledge transfer on consumer attitudes is explored.
Substantial focus has been devoted to understanding how consumers learn and are persuaded by functional analogies. Digital cameras have been compared to computer scanners, personal digital assistants to secretaries and off-line web readers to VCRs. These functional analogies differ substantially from experiential analogies where consumers are encouraged to compare two experiences. Three studies were conducted to investigate what contributes to the persuasive effect of an experiential analogy. Study 1 explored how base preference moderates the effect of emotional knowledge transfer on consumer attitudes. The findings suggest that an analogy is maximally persuasive for those who like the experience that an advertised product is compared to and cognitively associate a high number of emotions with the advertised product. In Study 2, a cognitive load manipulation was used to provide additional support for the effect of emotional knowledge transfer and base preference on consumer attitudes. Study 3 explored another important moderator, emotional soundness, specific to the persuasiveness of an experiential analogy. The findings from Study 3 further replicated the effect of base preference and emotional knowledge transfer on consumer attitudes and demonstrate that there needs to be sufficient underlying similarities in order for one to infer that the comparison experience and the advertised target product would have emotions in common with one another. The role of affect in the processing of an experiential analogy was also investigated.
