Gamification, interdependence, and the moderating effect of personality on performanceStar, K. January 2015 (has links)
Because of their seemingly universal appeal, game elements such as points, goals and leaderboards, are increasingly being incorporated into non-entertainment situations with the aim of increasing user performance. This process is referred to as gamification. However, little empirical research exists on gamification’s effectiveness in enhancing performance, particularly with respect to moderating influence of user personality traits. Social gamification that involves more than one participant incorporates social interdependence, which takes form as negative interdependence (competitive in nature) or positive interdependence (cooperative in nature). Based on the hypothesis that the interdependence type underlying a gamification system would appeal to differing personality traits, this study reports a quasi-experiment involving a platform designed to manipulate participant interdependence structure among cooperation, competition, and neutrality, with the latter acting as the control condition. These three interdependence structures functioned as the experiment’s independent variable, with measures of participant performance as dependent variables, together with the participant personality traits assessed using the five factor model of personality acting as moderating variables. 294 undergraduate participants worked with the platform on a voluntary basis over an eight-week period, spending 38,180 minutes and performing 3,275 actions. At the conclusion of the experiment, the data collected were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVAs, multilevel mixed method regression models, and a generalised estimating equation. The study’s results yield significant evidence that incorporating gamification in the experimental platform increases participant performance as measured by completed actions on the platform, and that participant personality traits moderated performance depending on interdependence structure. Significant results suggest that within the gamified platform, Extraversion positively moderates performance under competition and Openness positively moderates performance under cooperation.

Les mobilités cyclistes et leurs liens avec les préférences résidentielles des ménages : Le cas de travailleurs métropolitains de la région de MontréalLamoureux, Benjamin 20 April 2022 (has links)
La protection de l’environnement et les changements climatiques sont des sujets importants depuis
longtemps dans la sphère politique québécoise et montréalaise. Les questions environnementales incitent
les pouvoirs publics, les forces politiques civiles et la population à explorer de nouvelles façons de se
déplacer. Des citoyens et des initiatives politiques font alors foi d’une vision utilitaire renouvelée du vélo
à Montréal. Il est donc opportun de questionner si l’accroissement considérable des parts modales du vélo
peut avoir une incidence sur le marché immobilier montréalais ou porter certaines tendances.
Cette recherche vise à mettre en lumière les liens entre les mobilités cyclistes, et les choix résidentiels. Le
mémoire tente d’explorer si les cyclistes ont un profil résidentiel différent de ceux utilisant d’autres moyens
de transport avec des projets résidentiels bien connus. Cette recherche mobilise deux méthodes d’analyse.
Tout d’abord la méthode quantitative qui est possible grâce à la base de données issue du projet de recherche
de Lord et al. (2016). Ensuite, elle utilise les données qualitatives de treize entrevues semi-dirigées avec
des travailleurs métropolitains pour approfondir la connaissance de leurs projets résidentiels et leurs
rapports aux mobilités cyclistes.
Les conclusions de ce mémoire ne permettent pas d’identifier un profil résidentiel fortement différent de
ceux utilisant d’autres moyens de transport, le profil résidentiel cycliste se rapprochant trop du profil
résidentiel des utilisateurs de transport en commun. Elles permettent toutefois d’établir un profil résidentiel
cycliste typique qui nous informe sur les caractéristiques du quartier et du logement recherchés par les
cyclistes. / Environmental protection and climate change have long been important issues in Quebec and Montreal
politics. Environmental issues are prompting public authorities, civil political forces and the population to
explore new ways of getting around. Citizens and political initiatives are now showing a renewed utilitarian
vision of cycling in Montreal. It is therefore timely to question whether the considerable increase in the
modal share of cycling can have an impact on the Montreal real estate market or carry certain trends.
This research aims to shed light on the links between cycling mobility and residential choices. The research
attempts to explore whether cyclists have a different residential profile than those using other means of
transportation with well-known residential projects. This research mobilizes two methods of analysis. First,
the quantitative method that is possible through the database, which originated from the research project of
Lord et al. (2016). Second, it uses qualitative data from thirteen semi-structured interviews with
metropolitan workers to gain further insight into their residential projects and their relationships to cycling
mobilities.
The findings of this paper do not identify a residential profile that is significantly different from those using
other modes of transportation, as the residential profile of cyclists is too close to the residential profile of
transit users. They do, however, provide a typical residential cycling profile that informs us about the
neighborhood and housing characteristics that cyclists are looking for.

企業結合效率抗辯之法律經濟分析-以水平結合為中心-張建隆 Unknown Date (has links)
反壟斷法(我國為公平交易法)上的效率抗辯,是指經營者通過證明結合的效率效果足以抵消或超過反競爭效果而取得反壟斷法豁免。“減損競爭”和“促進效率”這兩大因素的權衡是企業結合反壟斷控制的核心內容。
第一章為引言部分,提出本文的研究動機,並對研究方法、研究限制及論文大綱進行簡要介紹。在第二章介紹效率抗辯定義,及反壟斷法視野下普遍被接受的主要效率類型。第三章對效率抗辯制度在歐美國家的發展作了回顧。第四章則是利用經濟分析方法,計算反競爭效果,再比較分析實質性減少競爭標準和嚴重妨礙有效競爭標準之差異。第五章分三部份,第5.1章提及普遍被採納的效率抗辯模式,主要係一體分析模式、抵消分析模式和混合分析模式三種。並建議基於我國國情和《公平交易法》的相關規定,我國宜採用混合分析模式。第5. 2章就效率抗辯制度的適用標準而言,主要有價格標準、消費者剩餘標準、總剩餘標準和權重平衡標準。第5. 3章建議確立效率抗辯制度的證明標準、證明方法。尤其,就效率抗辯制度的適用條件而言,主要有效率為集中所特有、效率的及時性、效率的可證實性、在壟斷或接近壟斷的集中案件不應適用等要件。第六章建議我國明確建立安全港標準,凡屬於安全港範圍的結合不再作進一步審查。第七章綜合上述的結論,試著對我國效率抗辯制度建立提供建議 。
關鍵字:效率抗辯、事業結合、實質性減少競爭標準、嚴重妨礙有效競爭標準、抵消分析、一體分析、混合分析、價格標準、消費者福利標準、總剩餘標準、權重平衡標準 / The efficiency plea on the antitrust law refers that the intensified efficiency effect proved by the operator is sufficient to set off or stronger than the anti-competition effect so as to be exempted by the antitrust law. Competition impairment and efficiency promotion are two factors need to be traded off during the anti-monopoly control on concentration for business operators.
Chapter One presents the motive , approach, framework, scope and limitations of the paper. Chapter Two introduces the definition of efficiency and the main types of efficiency which includes production efficiency, allocative efficiency, dynamic efficiency and other efficiencies. Chapter Three provides a brief history of efficiency plea practices in Europe and the United States . Chapter 4 tries to compare the Substantial Lessening of Competition test (SLC) with Significantly Impedes Effective Competition test (SIEC ) standards and try to prove the SIEC is suitable for our country. Chapter 4 also attempts to analyze anti-competitive effects of mergers by using economic analysis methods. Chapter Five is divided into three sections. Section one analyzes the main types of efficiency defense system models, including the integrated analysis model, offset analysis model and mixed analysis model. Considering the actual situation in our country and in accordance with regulations by the Antitrust Law of Taiwan, a mixed analysis mode is suggested for application. Section two focuses on the welfare standards of price standard, consumer welfare standard, the total surplus standard and the balancing weights standard. Section three recommends that standard of proof and method of proof and types of application conditions shall be established. Especially, the main types of application conditions are efficiency specific to concentration, the timeliness of the efficiency, the verifiability of the efficiency and whether the efficiency defense system is applied in the situation of near monopoly. Chapter Six defines the relevant market and suggest Critical loss analysis should be introduced for the relevant market definition. Chapter Six also suggests to adopt the " strong safe harbor" standard which means that once undertakings belong to the safe harbor range,they will no longer be subject to further review. The final chapter tries to offer some suggestions on the establishment of efficiency defense in Taiwan .
Key words: efficiency plea, concentration of undertakings, the Substantial Lessening of integrated analysis model, offset analysis model, mixed analysis model, price standard, consumer welfare standard, the total surplus standard, the balancing weights standard
