Based on the individual difference and social network theory, this research proposed the mediation model, with job search networking behavior as a mediator in the links between six HEXACO personality dimensions and job search outcomes. A survey was implemented in a sample of 773 university graduates. The findings suggest that honesty-humility,…

Reflexivity is a practice through which researchers engage themselves fully in their studies. It opens up different aspects of research that can shed light on important accounts that may otherwise be dismissed. It was through reflexivity that I observed ethical concerns emerge during my fieldwork in Korea. Despite academic ethics being discussed…

This chronological review of the literature is a summary of primarily non-empirical articles that explore the specific approach of dyadic (paired individuals or conjoint) interviewing. The evolution of dyadic interviewing is highlighted including the strengths and cautions of this approach beginning in 1942. The review of the literature is…

Context: Patient-centered care (PCC) has been widely studied in health care. Often, PCC is considered a mindset; however, there are specific behaviors to address in PCC, such as medical interviewing, exploring a patient's health literacy, and providing patient education. Much of the data specific to PCC relate to patient satisfaction rather than…

The cognitive interview (CI) has been an effective method for interviewing eyewitnesses often leading to changes in legislation and practice in many countries. This study was the first to employ the CI in Iran and test whether category clustering recall (CCR) was superior to a free recall when incorporated within an investigative interview. A…

When determining the score given to candidates in multiple mini-interview (MMI) stations, raters have to translate a narrative judgment to an ordinal rating scale. When adding individual scores to calculate final ranking, it is generally presumed that the values of possible scores on the evaluation grid are separated by constant intervals,…

Identifying illicit behavior in survey research is inherently problematic, since self-reports are untrustworthy. We argue that fraudulent interviewers can, however, be identified through statistical deviance of the distributional parameters of their interviews. We document that a high proportion of the variation in the data is due to the…

The book "Superhero Scientists" was published in March 2021. This non-fiction text allows children to read about people involved in the fascinating world of science. The 21 chapters are full of facts, life stories and scientific discoveries, from astrophysicists to pilots, epidemiologists to vets, marine biologists to scene-of-crime…

The self-administered interview (SAI©) is a booklet in which eyewitnesses write down their memories of an incident without assistance. The SAI can gather a significant amount of eyewitness information, and completing the SAI soon after witnessing an event can improve later recall. This study aimed to reveal the factor of effectiveness of the SAI…

This study is an investigation of the possible relationship between clinical interview skills and teacher noticing. In a multiple case study, video-recordings of pre-service teachers' (PSTs') mathematical clinical interviews and their written critiques of a mathematics lesson were examined using qualitative content analysis. Findings suggest that…

Communication deficits have a substantial impact on quality of life for individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) and their families, but limited qualitative work exists to support the necessary content of measures aiming to assess communication for these individuals. Following best practices for concept elicitation studies, we conducted individual…

This paper contributes to method development in educational leadership research. The focus is on a visual method and the inclusion of visual material in data collection and analysis. Core concepts in this paper are educational leadership, power and authority. The method was used in face-to-face interviews in a research project that studied the…

Across the world, teacher quality has come to be recognised as one of the most important variables affecting student outcomes; consequently, the regulation of entry into the profession is the subject of iterative review. The traditional 'one-off' interview, involving an interviewee and two or more interviewers, is a common, but not unproblematic,…
