Abstract:

The present study investigated the psychometric properties of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) Observer form of the five-factor model of personality by examining agreement between self- and observer ratings. Both partners of 49 young, adult couples rated themselves and their partners on the NEO-FFI. The results provide preliminary evidence of the measurement utility of the NEO-FFI Observer form. Specifically, (a) each personality scale possessed acceptable levels of internal reliability, (b) five factors consistent with the five-factor model of personality emerged in both ratings forms, and (c) there was significant self-observer agreement for all five personality scales. Self-observer agreement was assessed by correlations as well as analyses that test a more stringent definition of agreement. Overall, there is consensus across analyses that points to a substantial amount of concordance between partners' self- and observer ratings.

Abstract:

The relationship of self-rated to observer-rated scales has been infrequently studied in patients with DSM-III defined borderline personality disorder. This study was designed to derminine a) the amount of correlation between these two types of rating scales in borderline patients and b) whether borderline patients scored significantly higher than dysthymic controls on self or observer-rated scales. Results indicated that self-rated scale scores were higher within the borderline group. Self and observer-rated scales were highly correlated within the borderline group. Borderline patients did not differ from controls when scores of self and observer-rated scales were compared between groups. The relationship of these results to previous findings was equivocal.

Abstract:

The observer perspective of seeing one's self in recollection is often associated with memories that involve anxiety and self-consciousness. Does the observer perspective increase feelings of distress, or does it minimize threat? College student participants recalled emotional but non-traumatic events from the observer (or third person) perspective and from the field (or first person) perspective. Participants rated the perspective of each memory separately, and in comparison to the opposite perspective. Field memories were rated as producing more nervousness, emotionality, and self-consciousness. Even though the frequency of the observer perspective may increase for emotional versus nonemotional memories, this perspective may be adopted because it produces less distress than the field perspective.

Abstract:

Research exploring spontaneously generated self-talk has involved recording performers’ self-talk categorized by researchers. The actor-observer bias, suggests that actors (performers) and observers (researchers) may perceive the same situation (e.g., self-talk) differently. The purpose of this study was to explore the actor-observer bias and validity of self-talk categorization. College students’ (n = 30) spontaneous self-talk was audio recorded during a dart throwing task. Participants then listened to and categorized their self-talk. Three independent researchers reviewed written transcripts and categorized the self-talk. Another three researchers who had not read the transcripts listened to audio recordings and categorized the same self-talk. Results confirmed actor-observer bias predictions. Spontaneous self-talk ratings made by participants were similar to but distinct from those made by researchers reading transcripts or listening to self-talk audio recordings. These results suggest that participant categorization of spontaneous self-talk may be a valid strategy to enhance understanding of self-talk used in competitive settings.

Abstract:

A growing body of research indicates that self-compassion and self-esteem contribute to overall optimism and hopefulness. Self-compassion is a more stable and enduring trait in positive mood states, openness, and resilience and is a stronger healing agent for depression, anxiety, self-loathing, and self-injurious behaviors. The Caring Observer is a role created through psychodrama to evoke a warm embrace of the self, the ability to hold one's self in kindness through suffering, and the sense of feeling connected to humanity rather than isolated and ashamed—all traits of self-compassion.

Abstract:

The federal government mandates that school personnel select race and ethnicity identifiers for students who do not provide that information. This process is called “observer identification,” and it poses a potential threat to the validity of self-identified race/ethnicity data because (a) evidence from other fields suggests that about 40% of the time, observer identification does not match self-identification of some of the fastest growing racial/ethnic groups in the K–12 population; (b) state and local guidelines for observer identification vary greatly; and (c) the Department of Education does not record how often observer identification is used, but there is good reason to suspect that the practice is widespread.

Abstract:

Psychometric properties of the 100-item English-language HEXACO Personality Inventory–Revised (HEXACO-PI-R) were examined using samples of online respondents ( N = 100,318 self-reports) and of undergraduate students ( N = 2,868 self- and observer reports). The results were as follows: First, the hierarchical structure of the HEXACO-100 was clearly supported in two principal components analyses: each of the six factors was defined by its constituent facets and each of the 25 facets was defined by its constituent items. Second, the HEXACO-100 factor scales showed fairly low intercorrelations, with only one pair of scales (Honesty–Humility and Agreeableness) having an absolute correlation above .20 in self-report data. Third, the factor and facet scales showed strong self/observer convergent correlations, which far exceeded the self/observer discriminant correlations.

Abstract:

In this article, a simple self-adaptive neuron based on a position state observer has been proposed to inhibit the influence of load disturbances and accomplish a self-adaptive correction of the moment of inertia. In the process of inertial correction, the error of the position state observer is gradually reduced that facilitates the simultaneous optimisation of the position observer and moment of inertia. Furthermore, it allows accurate prediction of the position value by the position state observer in the subsequent control cycle. Simulations and experiments indicate that the designed controller performs with better adaptive response and robustness compared to the controller that does not implement the proposed method, and that the position state observer estimates the position accurately, a response associated with numerous advantages for practical applications.

Abstract:

In human consciousness a world of separated objects is perceived by an inner observer as an feeling of One-self. A topological correlation of the Self to the world, by either emerging all separated objects into one or splitting the Self in as many disconnected Sub-selves as there are objects perceived. The Self is generated in a neural network by algorithmic compression of spatial and temporal information into a toponeuronal structure (TNS). A correlation of an inner observer to parts of a structure inevitably entails a correlation to the whole, serving of the Self. Molecular mechanisms for the generation of a TNS in a neural network will be discussed.

Abstract:

Using correlational designs that included an evaluation of cross-observer convergence, research on the five-factor model of personality has documented it to be a robust, comprehensive taxonomy that remains extremely stable in adulthood. Because the cross-observer paradigm can also be useful for examining personality development in late adolescence, this study evaluated the reliability and construct validity of observer ratings on the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) in a sample of 101 college students. No such normative information is currently available. Each subject completed the NEO PI-R for themselves and had two individuals familiar to them complete the observer version. The results documented strong internal consistency for each rating scale and a factor structure which replicated previous findings using adult self-reports. Significant peer-peer and peer-self correlations were found as well as numerous cross-observer, cross-instrument convergence between the NEO PI-R ratings and self-reported scores on the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire. The results also indicated the presence of a reverse acquaintanceship effect, where long-term friends provided less accurate ratings than more recent acquaintances.

Abstract:

Aim: The purpose of this quasi-experimental one-group repeated measure (pre-test/post-test) study was to determine the effect of an end-of-life (EoL) simulation-based experience (SBE) on active and observer nursing students' palliative care knowledge and self-awareness. Background: Baccalaureate nursing (BSN) graduates must demonstrate competence in EoL care; however, gaining EoL experience is challenging given constraints on nursing faculty and clinical sites. Research also is needed to determine whether similar outcomes are achieved by active and observer participants after EoL SBE. Method: Senior-level BSN students' palliative care knowledge and self-awareness of active and observer participants were measured before and after an EoL SBE. Results: Knowledge and self-awareness increased (P<0.001) post-SBE in all participants, with equivalent post-test scores (P≥0.248) for active (Mattitude=130.1; Mknowledge=80.5) and observer (Mattitude=128.3; Mknowledge=77.9) participants. Conclusion: EoL SBE is an effective method for increasing student palliative care competence. Student observers benefit as much as active participants on knowledge and self-awareness outcomes.

Abstract:

We examined the joint factor structure of self‐reports and observer reports on the facet scales of the HEXACO Personality Inventory—Revised in a sample of 563 pairs of well‐acquainted persons. In separate analyses based on a targeted orthogonal rotation and on a CFA model, we identified six trait factors (representing the HEXACO dimensions) plus two source factors (representing the favourability bias of self‐reports and observer reports, respectively). All six trait factors were recovered with substantial loadings for the appropriate facet scales. The content of the self‐report and observer report source factors suggested that the former mainly involved ‘egoistic’ or ‘agentic’ biases and the latter mainly involved ‘moralistic’ or ‘communal’ biases.

Abstract:

The tendency to see one's self in autobiographical memories (“Observer” memories) has been reported for experiences that are emotional or involve self-awareness. Repressors, who avoid thinking about emotional experiences, should have fewer observer memories, whereas obsessive-compulsives should have more. College students were asked to recall specific events (e.g., giving a public performance), and the point of view of the memory. Repressors (who had low Manifest Anxiety and high Marlowe Crowne scores) reported fewer observer memories than did low anxious subjects (who scored low on both inventories), and were not different from a high anxious group. This pattern was replicated in a second experiment, which also found that subjects with high Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive scores had more observer memories than those with low scores. Repressors and obsessive-compulsives did not differ consistently either in their frequency of observer memories or their personality profiles.

Abstract:

Abstract. Scales for justice sensitivity from three perspectives (victim, observer, perpetrator) were developed. A latent state-trait analysis revealed high reliabilities (≈ .95). Trait consistencies (≈ .61) were twice as large as occasion specificities (≈ .33). The correlation between observer and perpetrator sensitivity was much higher than the correlation between either one and victim sensitivity. Self-related concerns (Machiavellianism, paranoia, suspiciousness, vengeance, jealousy, interpersonal trust) correlated more highly with victim sensitivity than with observer and perpetrator sensitivity. Other-related concerns (role taking, empathy, social responsibility) correlated more highly with observer and perpetrator sensitivity than with victim sensitivity. Low correlations between justice sensitivity and a just world belief system were found. Few correlations between justice sensitivity and broad personality traits were significant. Victim sensitivity correlated with neuroticism (≈ .30). Perpetrator sensitivity correlated with agreeableness (≈ .20). Observer and perpetrator sensitivity reflected high moral standards. Victim sensitivity was a mixture of self-protective motives and moral concerns.

Abstract:

Objective. The suitability of self-ratings and observer ratings within organisational management approaches is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the degree of agreement between self-rated and observer-rated occupational psychosocial demands. The comparison took place within a work-activity and not worker-centred assessment, according to official policies for psychosocial risk assessment. Through simultaneous application of two versions of the same instrument, we aimed to reduce the rating bias to a minimum demonstrating the suitability of self-ratings and observer ratings in companies of all kinds. Methods. A multimethod online assessment of 22 different work activities was conducted in Germany from October 2016 to October 2017. Workers (self-ratings) and occupational safety and health (OSH) committees (observer ratings) rated the occupational psychosocial risks of each activity with the same instrument (N = 669). The instrument measured psychosocial risk conditions at work. Reliability and agreement indices were computed. Results. The within-group agreement (WGA; rwg,mean = .42) of the workers’ self-ratings was good for each psychosocial risk and the interrater reliability (IRR) was excellent on average (ICC 2 = .77) with a medium effect size of ICC 1 = .15. The interrater agreement (IRA) between the two groups varied across the activities depending on rating group and activity composition (from ICCunjust,mean = .39 to ICCunjust,mean = .86) but was good to excellent on average (ICCunjust,mean = .71). Conclusion. The reasonable agreement and excellent reliability in workers’ self-ratings justify aggregation of item means at the group level. Furthermore, if the work activities are homogenous and the committee consists of members from different OSH specialties, observer ratings and self-ratings provide comparable results. According to this study’s results, both methods are reliable assessment strategies in the context of psychosocial risk assessment. The observer rating approach is especially suitable for small-to-medium enterprises that do not have access to a large anonymous survey assessment.

Abstract:

To achieve the radial displacement self-sensing detection of a bearingless induction motor, an observation method based on the LS-SVM (least squares support vector machine) is proposed. The state-space model of a magnetic suspension system is derived firstly. Then the LS-SVM is introduced to the radial displacement observer of the bearingless induction motor, the design principle and Lyapunov stability of the LS-SVM displacement observer are analysed in detail, and the construction method of the LS-SVM displacement observer is presented also. Simulation and verification results show that both in the starting suspension stage and in the process of stable suspension operation, the LS-SVM displacement observer can quickly track the radial displacement with high accuracy. Then, a new method is found for the radial displacement self-sensing detection of the bearingless induction motor.

Abstract:

The purpose in this study was to compare the reasons that individuals provided for their own academic performance outcomes and the outcomes of others of differing nationalities. For American self, as well as American other, Mexican, Canadian, English, Russian, and Japanese others, participants rated the influence of internal and external causal factors on both successful and unsuccessful examination outcomes. Predictions drawn from the integration of the actor-observer effect (Jones & Nisbett, 1971) and ego-serving bias theory (Miller & Ross, 1975) were tested. Results provided support for an extended overall actor-observer effect in that as the nationality of other became more dissimilar, individuals ascribed increasingly greater internal causation for the behavioral outcomes of others (as compared to self). Additionally, results provided support for the operation of a self-serving, self-other comparison process in that the actor-observer tendency emerged quite differently in successful, as compared to unsuccessful, performance outcome situations.

Abstract:

In this paper, an output feedback control approach based on an adaptive observer is developed for the two-wheeled self-balancing robot subject to unknown parameters (with nonlinear parameterization). Firstly, a high gain control method with state feedback is proposed. Then, an adaptive observer is designed to estimate the unknown state and the unknown body mass of the robot which influences the height of the center of mass. Next, the adaptive observer is combined with the designed high gain controller: a Lyapunov-based stability analysis of the closed loop system is developed to establish the convergence of the tracking error as well as estimation and adaptation errors. Simulation results assert the performance of the developed tracking control scheme for the two-wheeled self-balancing robot subject to mass variation.

Abstract:

This study set out to test metacognitive beliefs and perspective taking in self-imagery as predictors of negative self-evaluation of performance in social anxiety disorder. Forty-seven patients with a primary diagnosis of DSM-IV social anxiety disorder were asked to engage in a speech task. Metacognitive beliefs were assessed before the task, and perspective taking in self-imagery and negative self-evaluations of performance were measured after the task. Positive metacognitive beliefs about worrying and observer perspective imagery were positively correlated with negative self-evaluation. A hierarchical linear regression showed that age, and both positive metacognitive beliefs and the observer perspective, were unique predictors of negative self-evaluation. The results suggest that psychological models, especially those formulating the self-concept, should incorporate metacognitive beliefs.

Abstract:

College students recalled ten specific events (e.g., giving a public performance) to test the hypothesis that obsessive-compulsives more often take the observing-self perspective in autobiographical memories. A curvilinear relationship was found with scores on the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory: individuals with low-to-moderate scores had fewer observing-self memories than did either high obsessives or those with the lowest scores. Observer memories were rated higher in vividness and emotionality than were field memories, and as having been rehearsed more often. As compared to non-obsessives, the obsessives reported that their memories in general, whether observer or field, were more vivid and detailed, and had been more frequently rehearsed.

Abstract:

Background. Therapist competence may be an important factor in determining clinical outcome in psychological therapies. However, there are few published studies of therapist competence v. patient outcome from randomized controlled trials. We tested the hypothesis that higher levels of therapist competence would lead to better clinical outcomes in both patient- and observer-rated measures at 6- and 12-month follow-up.Method. A random sample of 49 audiotapes of manual assisted cognitive therapy sessions delivered by 21 therapists involved in the Prevention of Parasuicide by Manual Assisted Cognitive Behaviour Therapy trial was rated to assess the level of therapist competence. Patient outcome was assessed using self and observer ratings of depressive and anxiety symptoms, social functioning, global functioning and number of episodes of deliberate self-harm.Results. At 6-month follow-up, there was a statistically significant association between therapist level of competence and observer-rated depression only. At 12-month follow-up, significant associations were noted between therapist competence and all observer-rated clinical outcomes but not for self-rated outcome measures. However, there was no association between therapist competence and the number of self-harm episodes during follow-up.Conclusions. When treated by therapists rated as more competent than other therapists who received equivalent brief training, patients with recurrent self-harm show significant clinical improvements. However, this benefit is not identified across all outcome measures and is not fully apparent until 12-month follow-up.

Abstract:

This paper describes efforts to develop a method of using qualitative interview data for investigating the construct validity of standardized measures. Illustration is provided through a multimethod validation study that examined the concurrence between observer assessments of interview data and a standardized paper and pencil measure–the Demands of Immigration Scale (DI). Specific aims of the multimethod validation study included (1) determining interrater reliability of the Demands of Immigration Observer Rating Scale (DI-ORS), which assessed respondents according to the interview data they provided and (2) establishing concurrence between observer assessments on the DI-ORS and the respondents’ self-ratings on the DI scale. Interrater reliability of the DI-ORS was achieved with 97.9% agreement. However, there were significant differences (p ≤ .05,2-tailed) or disagreement on 5 out of 6 possible occurrences for agreement or disagreement between observer ratings on the DI-ORS and respondents’ self ratings on the DI scale. The findings are informative for researchers who wish to use qualitative methods for construct validation.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present and explain an enactive tool to be used by managers to move effectively in the context of high uncertainty and complexity that organizations nowadays operate. Design/methodology/approach – The approach raises in the enactive management that focusses on the ability of the manager to incorporate distinctions as an observer and self-observer to design interactions that can move the situation to be transformed. The key ontological tool that allow this learning is called CLEHES©. Findings – Using a soft technology as CLEHES, re configures the ways to observe and self-observe of manager and opens the design possibilities of the situation in which the organization is. Managers become choreographers in the sense they can design and move the interactions they observe. The embodied us of this tool requires an educational program that takes the form of hermeneutical laboratory where managers incorporate distinctions in the body and change the perspective they enact. Practical implications – This approach evokes changes in the observer and the enactor situation/situated in the organizational areas where the manager is responsible. Originality/value – A different and nurturing technology to self-observer and observation, allow enactive management in multiples domains and organizational contexts where the manager dance. The structural dynamics of the CLEHES dimensions creates multiples realities, through enactive conversations in a learning self-awareness process.

Abstract:

The ratio (τ) of a moving target's angular size to the rate of change in its angular size can be used by observers to judge the time remaining before they will collide with the target. We consider here whether optical flow information, consistent with simulated observer motion, affects observers' estimates of time-to-contact (TTC). Estimates of TTC were obtained when either the observer approached a stationary target or the target approached a stationary observer. The visual information for τ was the same in both conditions, whereas the visual information for observer self-motion was varied. For the low closing velocities, (3 and 6 eyeheights/sec) there was no significant difference in the estimated TTC for observer motion versus target motion. However, there was a significant difference for the highest closing velocity (12 eyeheights/sec). This result suggests that visual information, specifying self-motion, may be used either in combination with or in place of τ to estimate TTC during simulated locomotion. The present findings have practical implications for both the use of τ in judging TTC and the rendering of terrain texture detail in high-fidelity flight simulators.

Abstract:

A flux observer for induction motors which is adaptive to the active rotor resistance variations is presented. Due to the added fluxes overestimation in the observer structure, the global exponential stability properties of the current and flux vector components and active rotor resistance estimation are ensured under conditions of persistency of excitation. The proposed observer has a simpler structure compared to existing solutions with the global stability properties. The simulation results of the observer dynamic performance investigation confirm its effectiveness. It is shown that even if the conditions of persistency of excitation are not met, the active rotor resistance is estimated correctly; consequently, the designed observer can be implemented as an identification algorithm in self-commissioning systems of induction electric drives.

Abstract:

The slotless self-bearing motor (SSBM) is a motor with its self-bearing function. The mechanical structure of the motor is six symmetrical hexagonal shapes. The main control problem for this motor is disturbance and uncertainty rejection. Therefore, this paper proposes a new disturbance observer (DOB) based on an optimal fixed-time state observer (OFTSOB) and adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) for the motor. Firstly, the optimal state observer was used to construct to obtain the information of the states of the bearing-less motor system. Second, a new disturbance observer base on the fast speed reaching law is proposed for estimating the unknown dynamics and unpredicted uncertainty of the motor system. Third, the adaptive fast-reaching law-sliding mode control is designed to control the positions and rotational speed. Fourth, the proposed control system is proved via the Lyapunov theorem. Finally, the corrections of proposed method once again tested by using MATLAB simulation. The obtained results figured out that the proposed method is good at rejection disturbance and uncertainty and precision in control the movement and rotation. The novelties of the proposed method are that the gains of fixed-time observer were met by the support of optimal pole placement method, the disturbances were mostly rejected by a new reaching law of unknown input observer.

Abstract:

Abstract. The six dimensions of the HEXACO model of personality are most commonly measured via the HEXACO Personality Inventory(-Revised) (HEXACO-PI(-R)), which comes in three versions (60, 100, and 200 items) and is available as a self- and observer report form in several languages. The present study meta-analytically investigates the psychometric properties of the HEXACO-PI(-R), relying on empirical data from 549 independent samples providing information about 316,133 individuals. In particular, we performed reliability generalization meta‐analyses to examine internal consistency, determined self–observer agreement, investigated structural properties in terms of the intercorrelations between the HEXACO dimensions, and established relations between the dimensions and demographic variables. Results show that all HEXACO-PI(-R) versions exhibit fairly high reliabilities and a high degree of self–observer agreement. With the exception of a moderate correlation between Honesty-Humility and Agreeableness, the HEXACO dimensions are only weakly correlated overall. Finally, notable gender differences (with women scoring higher) occurred on Emotionality and Honesty-Humility.

Abstract:

Direct kinematic observation was used to measure ratings of perceived exertion at the ventilatory breakpoint (RPE-Vpt) in 10- to 14-yr.-old girls ( n = 22) and boys ( n = 22). RPE for the overall body, legs, and chest were simultaneously estimated by a trained observer and self-rated by a subject during treadmill exercise using the Children's OMNI-Walk/Run Scale. Subjects' heart rate and oxygen consumption were measured during each minute of exercise. Vpt for the girls and boys, respectively, were 64.2 and 66.5% VO2 max. RPE-Vpt ranged from 6.0 to 6.5 Overall, 7.1 to 7.6 Legs, and 5.0 to 5.5 Chest for both the observation and self-rating procedures. Responses indicated (a) RPE-Vpt (Overall, Legs, Chest) did not differ ( p>.05) between the observer and self-rating procedures and (b) Observer RPE-Vpt-Legs was greater ( p<.05) than RPE-Vpt-Chest. Findings validated direct kinematic observation to code group-normalized RPE-Vpt for girls and boys performing treadmill exercise.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to propose a self-sensing control of internal permanent-magnet synchronous machines (IPMSMs) based on new high order sliding mode approaches. The high order sliding mode control will be combined with the backstepping strategy to achieve global or semi global attraction and ensure finite time convergence. The proposed control strategy should be able to reject the unmatched perturbations and reject the external perturbation. On the other hand, the super-twisting algorithm will be combined with the interconnected observer methodology to propose the multi-input–multi-output observer. This observer will be used to estimate the rotor position, the rotor speed and the stator resistance. The proposed controller and observer ensure the finite-time convergence to the desired reference and measured state, respectively. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of the suggested method in the presence of parametric uncertainties and unmeasured load torque at various speed ranges.

Abstract:

Subjective workload assessments are used often in human factors, almost always from the perspective of the one performing the task. How well would an observer or experimenter be able to subjectively rate the mental workload of a task being performed by a subject? In this experiment, participants formed groups of two in which one acted as an experimenter and the other as a subject. The experimenter administered three types of distractor tasks to the subject while the subject held a consonant triad in their working memory. The three tasks were a high difficulty task (counting), a medium difficulty task (writing), and a low difficulty task (drawing). Both experimenter and subject then filled out a NASA-TLX for all three task types. Roles were switched and the process repeated. Significant differences in rating were found for the high difficulty but not the low difficulty task, with the medium difficulty task in between.
