再论中介模型滥⽤:如何规范地实施因果中介效应分析因果中介效应估计、敏感性分析、⼯具变量模型。
近年来,⼤量的经济学论⽂滥⽤中介效应模型,参考⽂献是⼀遍中⽂⼼理学论⽂,特别以硕⼠论⽂居多,引起严肃经济学者的警觉和批评。
在这个⽅程组中有很多的问题存在:y=a+bx+u (1)m=a1x+u1 (2)y=a2x+b2m+u2 (3)很显然(1)式中⾄少遗漏了中介变量m,则导致严重内⽣性问题,内⽣性导致b的估计是有偏的,b都估计不对,何谈后⾯的因果效应和机制分析的识别?且不说有没有考虑三个⼦⽅程的内⽣性问题了!令⼈悲哀和⽆免,其实只需要基本的初等计量经济学知识!本推⽂将介绍在因果分析框架下中介分析模型。
此外,管理学的调节效应其实就是规范实证经济学⾥⾯的交互项模型,即相关异质性因果效应分析:即将开幕的STATA前沿培训精讲:带异质性处理效应的双向固定效应估计|从精确断点、模糊断点估计的实际操作|弱⼯具变量稳健推断异质性分析、机制分析的内容可选择学习:即将开班 | 结构模型、Stata实证前沿、Python数据挖掘暑假⼯作坊当然,⽐较合理地机制分析是基于理论框架的科学分析,这也可以在以上暑假⼯作坊课程中的结构估计部分学习之,其也提供⽂本分析的内容。
欢迎咨询!Causal mediation analysisRaymond Hicks,Niehaus Center for Globalization and GovernancePrinceton University,Princeton, NJ,rhicks@Dustin Tingley,Department of Government,Harvard UniversityCambridge, MA,dtingley@Abstract. Estimating the mechanisms that connect explanatory variables with the explained variable, also known as “mediation analysis,” is central to a variety of social-science fields, especially psychology, and incre epidemiology.Recent work on the statistical methodology behind mediation analysis points to limitations in earlier methods. We implement in Stata computational approaches based on recent developments in the sta analysis. In particular, we provide functions for the correct calculation of causal mediation effects using several different types of parametric models, as well as the calculation of sensitivity analyses for violations to the required for interpreting mediation results causally.摘要:估计解释变量与被解释变量之间的联系机制,也被称为“中介分析”,是各种社会科学领域的核⼼,尤其是⼼理学,并逐渐成为流⾏病学等领域的核⼼。
1Introduction to strategic management accounting1.1I ntroduction to planning, control and decision making☞Strategic planning is the process of deciding on objectives of the organization, on changes in these objectives, on the resource to attain these objectives, and on the policies that are to govern the acquisition, use and disposition of these resources.☞Characteristics of strategic information⏹Long term and wide scope⏹Generally formulated in writing⏹Widely circulated广泛流传⏹Doesn’t trigger direct action, but series of lesser plans⏹Includes selection of products, purchase of non-current assets, required levels ofcompany profit☞Management control: the process by which management ensure that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in the accomplishment of the organisation’s objectives. It is sometimes called tactics ad tactical planning.☞Characteristics of management accounting information⏹Short-term and non-strategic⏹Management control planning activities include preparing annual sales budget⏹Management control activities include ensuring budget targets are reached⏹Carried out in a series of routine and regular planning and comparison procedures⏹Management control information covers the whole organisation, is routinely collected,is often quantitative and commonly expressed in money terms (cash flow forecasts, variance analysis reports, staffing levels⏹Source of information likely to be endogenous内生的☞Characteristics of operational control⏹Short-term and non-strategic⏹Occurs in all aspects of an organisations activities and need for day to dayimplementation of plans⏹Often carried out at short notice⏹Information likely to have an endogenous source, to be detailed transaction data,quantitative and expressed in terms of units/hours⏹Includes customer orders and cash receipts.1.2Management accounting information for strategic planning and control☞Strategic management accounting is a form of management accounting in which emphasis is placed on information about factors which are external to the organisation, as well as non-financial and internally-generated information.⏹External orientation: competitive advantage is relative; customer determination⏹Future orientation: forward- and outward looking; concern with values.⏹Goal congruence: translates the consequences of different strategies into a commonaccounting language for comparison; relates business operations to financial performance.1.3Planning and control at strategic and operational levels☞Linking strategy and operations, if not: unrealistic plans, inconsistent goals, poor communication, inadequate performance measurement.1.3.1Strategic control systems☞Formal systems of strategic control:⏹strategy review;⏹identify milestones of performance( outline critical success factors, short-term stepstowards long-term goals, enables managers to monitor actions)⏹Set target achievement levels (targets must be reasonably precise, suggest strategiesand tactics, relative to competition)⏹Formal monitoring of the strategic process⏹Reward.☞Desired features of strategic performance measures⏹Focus on what matters in the long term⏹Identify and communicate drivers of success⏹Support organisational learning⏹Provide a basis for reward⏹Measurable; meaningful; acceptable;⏹Described by strategy and relevant to it⏹Consistently measured⏹Re-evaluated regularly1.4Benchmarking1.4.1Types of benchmarking☞Internal benchmarking: easy; no innovative or best-practice.☞Industry benchmarking:⏹Competitor benchmarking: difficult to obtain information⏹Non-competitor benchmarking: motivate☞Functional benchmarking: find new, innovative ways to create competitive advantage1.4.2Stages of benchmarking☞Set objectives and determine the area to benchmark☞Establish key performance measures.☞Select organizations to study☞Measure own and others performance☞Compare performance☞Design and implement improvement prgoramme☞Monitor improvements1.4.3Reasons for benchmarking☞Assess current strategic position☞Assess generic competitive strategy☞Spur to innovation☞Setting objectives and targets☞Cross comparisons☞Implementing change☞Identifies the process to improve☞Helps with cost reduction, or identifying areas where improvement is required☞Improves the effectiveness of operations☞Delivers services to a defined standard☞Provide early warning of competitive disadvantage1.4.4Disadvantages of benchmarking☞Implies there is one best way of doing business☞Yesterday’s solution to tomorrow’s problem☞Catching-up exercise rather than the development of anything distinctive☞Depends on accurate information about comparator companies☞Potential negative side effects of ‘what gets measured gets done’.2Performance management and control of the organization2.1Strengths and weaknesses of alternative budget models2.1.1Incremental budgeting☞Is the traditional approach to setting a budget and involves basing next year’s budget on the current year’s results plus an extra amount for estimated growth of inflation next year. ☞Strengths: easy to prepare; can be flexed to actual levels to provide more meaningful control information☞Weaknesses: does not take account of alternative options; does not look for ways of improving performance; only works if current operations are as effective, efficient and economical as they can be; encourage slack in the budget setting process.2.1.2Zero based budgeting☞Preparing a budget for each cost centre from scratch.☞Strengths:⏹Provides a budgeting and planning tool for management that responds to changes inthe business environment.⏹Requires the organization to look very closely at its cost behavior patterns, andimproves understanding of cost-behaviour patterns.⏹Should help identify inefficient or obsolete processes, and thereby also help reducecosts.⏹Results in a more efficient allocation of resources⏹Be particularly useful in not-for-profit organizations which have a focus on achievingvalue for money.☞Weaknesses:⏹Requires a lot of management time and effort⏹Requires training in the use of ZBB techniques so that these are applied properly⏹Questioning current practices and processes can be seen as threatening2.1.3Rolling budgets☞Continuously updated by adding a further period when the earliest period has expired.☞Strengths:⏹Reduce the uncertainty of budgeting for business operating in an unstableenvironment. It is easier to predict what will happen in the short-term.⏹Most suitable form of budgeting for organizations in uncertain environments, wherefuture activity levels, costs or revenues cannot be accurately foreseen.⏹Planning and control is based on a more recent plan which is likely to be morerealistic an more relevant than a fixed annual budget drawn up several months ago.⏹The process of updating the budget means that managers identify current changes( and so can respond to these changes more quickly)⏹More realistic targets provide a better basis on which to appraise managers’performance⏹Realistic budgets are likely to have a better motivational effect on managers.☞Weaknesses:⏹Require time, effort and money to prepare and keep updating. If managers spend toolong preparing/revising budgets, they will have less time to control and manage actual results⏹Managers may not see the value in the continuous updating of budgets⏹May be demotivating if targets are constantly changing⏹It may not be necessary to update budgets so regularly in a stable operatingenvironment.2.1.4Flexible budgets☞Recognizing the potential uncertainty, budgets designed to adjust costs levels according to changes in the actual levels of activity and output.☞Strengths:⏹Finding out well in advance the costs of idle time and so on if the output falls belowbudget.⏹Being able to plan for the alternative use of spare capacity if output falls short ofbudget☞Weaknesses:⏹As many errors in modern industry are fixed costs, the value of flexible budgets as aplanning tool are limited.⏹Where there is a high degree of stability, the administrative effort in flexiblebudgeting produces little extra benefit. Fixed budgets can be perfectly adequate in these circumstances.2.1.5Activity based budgeting☞Involves defining the activities that underlie the financial figures in each function and usingthe level of activity to decide how much resources should be allocated, how well it is being managed and to explain variance from budget.☞Strengths:⏹Ensures that the organisation’s overall strategy and any changes to that strategy willbe taken into account.⏹Identifies critical success factors which are activities that a business must perform wellif it is to succeed⏹Recognizes that activities drive costs; so encourages a focus on controlling andmanaging cost drivers rather than just the costs⏹Concentrate on the whole activities so that there is more likelihood of getting it rightfirst time.☞Weaknesses:⏹Requires time and effort to prepare so suited to a more complex organization withmultiple cost drivers.⏹May be difficult to identify clear individual responsibilities for activities⏹Only suitable for organization which have adopted an activity-based costing system⏹ABBs are not suitable for all organization, especially with significant proportions offixed overheads.2.1.6The future of budgeting☞Criticisms of traditional budgeting⏹Time consuming and costly⏹Major barrier to responsiveness, flexibility and change⏹Adds little value given the amount of management time required⏹Rarely strategically focused⏹Makes people feel undervalued⏹Reinforces department barriers rather than encouraging knowledge sharing⏹Based on unsupported assumptions and guesswork as opposed to sound,well-constructed performance data⏹Development and updated infrequently2.2Budgeting in not-for-profit organizations☞Special issues: the budget process inevitably has considerable influence on organizational processes, and represents the financial expression of policies resulting from politically motivated goals and objectives. The reality of life for many public sector managers is an subjected to(受---支配) growing competition.⏹Be prevented from borrowing funds⏹Prevent the transfer of funds from one budget head to another without compliancewith various rules and regulations⏹Plan one financial year.⏹Incremental budgeting and the bid system are widely used.2.3Evaluating the organisation’s move beyond budgeting2.3.1Conventional budgeting in a changing environment☞Weaknesses of traditional budgets:⏹Adds little value, requires far too much valuable management time⏹Too heavy a reliance on the ‘agreed’ budget has an adverse impact on managementbehavior, which can become dysfunctional(功能失调的) with regard to(关于) the objectives of the organization as a whole⏹The use of budgeting as a base for communicating corporate goals, is contrary to theoriginal purpose of budgeting as a financial control mechanism⏹Most budgets are not based on a rational, causal(因果关系的) model of resourceconsumption, but are often the result of protracted internal bargaining processes.⏹Conformance to budget is not seen as compatible with a drive towards continuousimprovement⏹Traditional budgeting processes have insufficient external focus.2.3.2The beyond budgeting model☞Rolling budgets focus management attention on current and likely future realities within the organizational context, it is seen as an attempt to keep ahead of change, or strictly speaking to be more in control of the response to the challenges facing the organization. ☞Benefits:⏹Creates and fosters a performance climate based on competitive success. Managerialfocus shifts from beating other managers for a slice(部分) of resources to beating the competition.⏹It motivates properly by giving them challenges, responsibilities and clear values asguidelines. Rewards are team-based⏹It empowers operational managers to act by removing resource constraints. Speedingup the response to environmental threats and enabling quick exploitation of new opportunities.⏹It devolves performance responsibilities to operational management who are closer tothe action.⏹It establishes customer-orientated teams that are accountable for profitable customeroutcomes.⏹Creates transparent and open information systems throughout the organization,provides fast, open and distributed information to facilitate control at all levels.3Business structure, IT development and other environmental and ethical issues3.1Business structure and information needs3.1.1Functional departmentation☞Information characteristics and needs: information flows vertically; functions tend to be isolated☞Implications for performance management⏹Structure is based on work specialism⏹Economies of scale⏹Does not reflect the actual business processes by which values is created⏹Hard to identify where profits and losses are made on individual products or inindividual markets⏹People do not have an understanding of how the whole business works⏹Problems of co-ordinating the work of different specialisms.3.1.2The divisional form☞Information characteristics and needs⏹Divisionalisation is the division of a business into autonomous regions⏹Communication between divisions and head office is restricted, formal and related toperformance standards⏹Headquarters management influence prices and therefore profitability when it setstransfer prices between divisions.⏹Divisionalisation is a function of organisation size, in numbers and in product-marketactivities.☞Implications for performance management⏹Divisional management should be free to use their authority to do what they think isright, but must be held accountable to head office⏹ A division must be large enough to support the quantity and quality of managementit needs⏹Each division must have a potential for growth in its own area of operations⏹There should be scope and challenge in the job for the management of the division☞Advantages:⏹Focuses the attention of subordinate(下级) management on business performanceand results⏹Management by objectives can be applied more easily⏹Gives more authority to junior managers, more senior positions⏹Tests junior managers in independent command early in their careers and at areasonably low level in the management hierarchy.⏹Provides an organisation structure which reduces the number of levels ofmanagement.☞Problems:⏹Partly insulated from shareholders and capital markets⏹The economic advantages it offers over independent organisations ‘reflectfundamental inefficiencies in capital markets’⏹The divisions are more bureaucratic than they would be as independent corporation⏹Headquarters management usurp divisional profits by management charges,cross-subsidies, unfair transfer pricing systems.⏹Sometime, it is impossible to identify completely independent products or markets⏹Divisionalisation is only possible at a fairly senior management level⏹Halfway house(中途地点)⏹Divisional performance is not directly assessed by the market⏹Conglomerate diversification3.1.3Network organisations☞Information characteristics and needs: achieve innovative response in a changingcircumstances; communication tends to be lateral(侧面的), information and advice are given rather than instructions(指令) and decisions.☞Virtual teams: share information and tasks; make joint decision; fulfil the collaborative function of a team)☞Implications for performance management⏹Staffing: shamrock organisation⏹Leasing of facilities such as IT, machinery and accommodation(住房)⏹Production itself might be outsourced⏹Interdependence of organisations☞Benefits: cost reduction; increased market penetration; experience curve effects.3.2Business process re-engineering3.2.1Business processes and the technological interdependence betweendepartments☞Pooled interdependence(联营式相互依赖): each department works independently to the others, subjects to achieve the overall goals☞Sequential interdependence(序列式相互依存): a sequence with a start and end point.Management effort is required to ensure than the transfer of resources between departments is smooth.☞Reciprocal interdependence(互惠式相互依存): a number of departments acquire inputs from and offer outputs to each other.3.2.2Key characteristics of organisations which have adopted BPR☞Work units change from functional departments to process teams, which replace the old functional structure☞Jobs change. Job enlargement and job enrichment☞People’s roles change. Make decisions relevant to the process☞Performance measures concentrate on results rather than activities.☞Organisation structures change from hierarchical to flat3.3Business integration3.3.1Mckinsey 7S model☞Hard elements of business behaviour⏹Structure: formal division of tasks; hierarchy of authority⏹Strategy: plans to outperform胜过its competitors.⏹Systems: technical systems of accounting, personnel, management information☞‘soft’ elements⏹Style: shared assumptions, ways of working, attitudes and beliefs⏹Shared values: guiding beliefs of people in the organisation as to why it exists⏹Staff: people⏹Skills: those things the organisation does well3.3.2Teamwork and empowerment☞Aspects of teams:⏹Work organisation: combine the skills of different individuals and avoid complexcommunication⏹Control: control the behaviour and performance of individuals, resolve conflict⏹Knowledge generation: generate ideas⏹Decision making: investigate new developments, evaluate new decisions☞Multi-disciplinary teams:⏹Increases workers‘ awareness of their overall objectives and targets⏹Aids co-ordination⏹Helps to generate solutions to problems, suggestions for improvements☞Changes to management accounting systems⏹Source of input information: sources of data, methods used to record data⏹Processing involved: cost/benefit calculation⏹Output required: level of detail and accuracy of output, timescales involved⏹Response required:⏹When the output is required:3.4Information needs of manufacturing and service businesses3.4.1Information needs of manufacturing businesses☞Cost behaviour:⏹Planning: standard costs, actual costs compared with⏹Decision making: estimates of future costs to assess the likely profitability of a product⏹Control: monitor total cost information☞Quality: the customer satisfaction is built into the manufacturing system and its outputs☞Time: production bottlenecks, delivery times, deadlines, machine speed☞Innovation: product development, speed to market, new process. Experience curve, economies of scale, technological improvements.☞Valuation:☞Strategic, tactical and operational information⏹Strategic: future demand estimates, new product development plans, competitoranalysis⏹Tactical: variance analysis, departmental accounts, inventory turnover⏹Operational: production reject rates, materials and labour used, inventory levels3.4.2Service businesses☞Characteristics distinguish from manufacturing:⏹Intangibility: no substance⏹Inseparability/simultaneity: created at the same time as they are consumed⏹Variability/heterogeneity异质性: problem of maintaining consistency in the standardof output⏹Perishability非持久性:⏹No transfer of ownership:☞Strategic, tactical and operational information⏹Strategic: forecast sales growth and market share, profitability, capital structure⏹Tactical: resource utilisation, customer satisfaction rating⏹Operational: staff timesheets, customer waiting time, individual customer feedback3.5Developing management accounting systems3.5.1Setting up a management accounting system☞The output required: identify the information needs of managers☞When the output is required:☞The sources of input information: the output required dictate the input made3.6Stakeholders’ goals and objectives3.6.1The stakeholder view☞Organisations are rarely controlled effectively by shareholders☞Large corporations can manipulate markets. Social responsibility☞Business receive a lot of government support☞Strategic decisions by businesses always have wider social consequences.3.6.2Stakeholder theory☞Strong stakeholder view: each stakeholder in the business has a legitimate claim on management attention. Management’s job is to balance stakeholder demands:⏹Managers who are accountable to everyone are accountable to none⏹Danger of the managers favour their own interests⏹Confuses a stakeholder’s interest in a firm with a person citizenship of a state⏹People have interest, but this does not give them rights.3.7Ethics and organisation3.7.1Short-term shareholder interest(laissez-faire自由主义stance)☞Accept a duty of obedience to the demands of the law, but would not undertake to comply with any less substantial rules of conduct.3.7.2Long-term shareholder interest (enlightened self-interest开明自利)☞The organisation’s corporate image may be enhanced by an assumption of wider responsibilities.☞The responsible exercise of corporate power may prevent a built-up of social and political pressure for legal regulation.3.7.3Multiple stakeholder obligations☞Accept the legitimacy of the expectations of stakeholders other than shareholders. It is important to take account of the views of stakeholders with interests relating to social and environmental matters.☞Shape of society: society is more important than financial and other stakeholder interests.3.7.4Ethical dilemmas☞Extortion: foreign officials have been known to threaten companies with the complete closure of their local operations unless suitable payments are made☞Bribery: payments for service to which a company is not legally entitled☞Grease money: cash payments to the right people to oil the machinery of bureaucracy.☞Gifts: are regard as an essential part of civilised negotiation.4Changing business environment and external factors4.1The changing business environment4.1.1The changing competitive environment☞Manufacturing organisations:⏹Before 1970s, domestic markets because of barriers of communication andgeographical distance, few efforts to maximise efficiency and improve management practices.⏹After 1970s, overseas competitors, global networks for acquiring raw materials anddistributing high-quality, low-priced goods.☞Service organisations:⏹Prior to the 1980s: service organisations were government-owned monopolies, wereprotected by a highly-regulated, non-competitive environment.⏹After 1980s: privatisation of government-owned monopolies and deregulation, intensecompetition, led to the requirement of cost management and management accounting information systems.☞Changing product life cycles: competitive environment, technological innovation, increasingly discriminating and sophisticated customer demands.☞Changing customer requirements: Cost efficiency, quality (TQM), time (speedier response to customer requests), innovation☞New management approaches: continuous improvement, employee empowerment; total value-chain analysis☞Advanced manufacturing technology(AMT): encompasses automatic production technology, computer-aided design and manufacturing, flexible manufacturing systems and a wide array of innovative computer equipment.4.1.2The limitation of traditional management accounting techniques in achanging environment☞Cost reporting: costs are generally on a functional basis, the things that businesses do are “process es’ that cut across functional boundaries☞Absorption costing(归纳成本计算法)☞Standard costing: ignores the impact of changing cost structures; doesn’t provide any incentive to try to reduce costs further, is inconsistent with the philosophy of continuous improvement.☞Short-term financial measures: narrowly focused☞Cost accounting methods: trace raw materials to various production stages via WIP. With JIT systems, near-zero inventories, very low batch sizes, cost accounting and recording systems are greatly simplified.☞Performance measures: product the wrong type of response☞Timing: cost of a product is substantially determined when it is being designed, however, management accountants continue to direct their efforts to the production stage.☞Controllability: only a small proportion of ‘direct costs’are genuinely controllable in the short term.☞Customers: many costs are driven by customers, but conventional cost accounting does not recognise this.☞The solution: changes are taking place in management accounting in order to meet the challenge of modern developments.4.2Risk and uncertainty4.2.1Types of risk and uncertainty☞Physical: earthquake, fire, blooding, and equipment breakdown. Climatic changes: global warming, drought;☞Economic: economic environment turn out to be wrong☞Business: lowering of entry barriers; changes in customer/supplier industries; new competitors and factors internal to the firm; management misunderstanding of core competences; volatile cash flows; uncertain returns☞Product life cycle:☞Political: nationalisation, sanctions, civil war, political instability☞Financial:4.2.2Accounting for risk☞Quantify the risk:⏹Rule of thumb methods: express a range of values from worst possible result to bestpossible result with a best estimate lying between these two extremes.⏹Basic probability theory: expresses the likelihood of a forecast result occurring⏹Dispersion or spread values with different possible outcomes: standard deviation.4.2.3Basic probability theory and expected valuesEV=ΣpxP=the probability of an outcome occurringX=the value(profit or loss) of that outcome4.2.4Risk preference☞Risk seeker: is a decision maker who is interested trying to secure the best outcomes no matter how small the chance they may occur☞Risk neutral: a decision maker is concerned with what will be the most likely outcome☞Risk averse: a decision maker acts on the assumption that the worst outcome might occur ☞Risk appetite is the amount of risk an organisation is willing to take on or is prepared to accept in pursuing its strategic objectives.4.2.5Decision rules☞Maximin decision rule: select the alternative that offers the least unattractive worst outcome. Maximise the minimum achievable profit.⏹Problems: risk-averse approach, lead to defensive and conservative, without takinginto account opportunities for maximising profits⏹Ignores the probability of each different outcome taking place☞Maximax: looking for the best outcome. Maximise the maximum achievable profit⏹It ignores probabilities;⏹It is over-optimistic☞Minimax regret rule: minimise the regret from making the wrong decision. Regret is the opportunity lost through making the wrong decision⏹Regret for any combination of action and circumstances=profit for best action in shoescircumstances – profit for the action actually chosen in those circumstances4.3Factors to consider when assessing performance4.3.1Political factors☞Government policy; government plans for divestment(剥夺)/rationalisation; quotas, tariffs, restricting investment or competition; regulate on new products.☞Government policy affecting competition: purchasing decisions; regulations and control;policies to prevent the concentration of too much market share in the hands of one or two producers4.3.2Economic environment☞Gross domestic product: grown or fallen? Affection on the demand of goods/services☞Local economic trends: businesses rationalising or expanding? Rents increasing/falling?The direction of house prices moving? Labour rates☞Inflation: too high to making a plan, uncertain of future financial returns; too low to depressing consumer demand; encouraging investment in domestic industries; high rate leading employees to demand higher money wages to compensate for a fall in the value of their wages☞Interest rates: affect consumer confidence and liquidity, demand; cost of borrowing increasing, reducing profitability;☞Exchange rates: impact on the cost of overseas imports; prices affect overseas customers ☞Government fiscal policy: increasing/decreasing demands; corporate tax policy affecting on the organisation; sales tax(VAT) affecting demand.☞Government spending:☞Business cycle: economic booming or in recession; counter-cyclical industry; the forecast state of the economic4.3.3Funding☞Reasons for being reluctant to obtain further debt finance:⏹Fear the company can’t service the debt, make the required capital and interestpayments on time⏹Can’t use the tax shield, to obtain any tax benefit from interest payments⏹Lacks the asset base to generate additional cash if needed or provide sufficientsecurity⏹Maintain access to the capital markets on good terms.4.3.4Socio-cultural factors☞Class: different social classes have different values。

7September 2011Keywords:Traffic assignment Network models Equilibrium Route choice Day-to-day variabilitya b s t r a c tIn spite of their widespread use in policy design and evaluation,relatively little evidencehas been reported on how well traffic equilibrium models predict real network impacts.Here we present what we believe to be the first paper that together analyses the explicitimpacts on observed route choice of an actual network intervention and compares thiswith the before-and-after predictions of a network equilibrium model.The analysis isbased on the findings of an empirical study of the travel time and route choice impactsof a road capacity reduction.Time-stamped,partial licence plates were recorded across aseries of locations,over a period of days both with and without the capacity reduction,and the data were ‘matched’between locations using special-purpose statistical methods.Hypothesis tests were used to identify statistically significant changes in travel times androute choice,between the periods of days with and without the capacity reduction.A trafficnetwork equilibrium model was then independently applied to the same scenarios,and itspredictions compared with the empirical findings.From a comparison of route choice pat-terns,a particularly influential spatial effect was revealed of the parameter specifying therelative values of distance and travel time assumed in the generalised cost equations.When this parameter was ‘fitted’to the data without the capacity reduction,the networkmodel broadly predicted the route choice impacts of the capacity reduction,but with othervalues it was seen to perform poorly.The paper concludes by discussing the wider practicaland research implications of the study’s findings.Ó2011Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionIt is well known that altering the localised characteristics of a road network,such as a planned change in road capacity,will tend to have both direct and indirect effects.The direct effects are imparted on the road itself,in terms of how it can deal with a given demand flow entering the link,with an impact on travel times to traverse the link at a given demand flow level.The indirect effects arise due to drivers changing their travel decisions,such as choice of route,in response to the altered travel times.There are many practical circumstances in which it is desirable to forecast these direct and indirect impacts in the context of a systematic change in road capacity.For example,in the case of proposed road widening or junction improvements,there is typically a need to justify econom-ically the required investment in terms of the benefits that will likely accrue.There are also several examples in which it is relevant to examine the impacts of road capacity reduction .For example,if one proposes to reallocate road space between alternative modes,such as increased bus and cycle lane provision or a pedestrianisation scheme,then typically a range of alternative designs exist which may differ in their ability to accommodate efficiently the new traffic and routing patterns.0965-8564/$-see front matter Ó2011Elsevier Ltd.All rights

A46(2012)167–189Through mathematical modelling,the alternative designs may be tested in a simulated environment and the most efficient selected for implementation.Even after a particular design is selected,mathematical models may be used to adjust signal timings to optimise the use of the transport system.Road capacity may also be affected periodically by maintenance to essential services(e.g.water,electricity)or to the road itself,and often this can lead to restricted access over a period of days and weeks.In such cases,planning authorities may use modelling to devise suitable diversionary advice for drivers,and to plan any temporary changes to traffic signals or priorities.Berdica(2002)and Taylor et al.(2006)suggest more of a pro-ac-tive approach,proposing that models should be used to test networks for potential vulnerability,before any reduction mate-rialises,identifying links which if reduced in capacity over an extended period1would have a substantial impact on system performance.There are therefore practical requirements for a suitable network model of travel time and route choice impacts of capac-ity changes.The dominant method that has emerged for this purpose over the last decades is clearly the network equilibrium approach,as proposed by Beckmann et al.(1956)and developed in several directions since.The basis of using this approach is the proposition of what are believed to be‘rational’models of behaviour and other system components(e.g.link perfor-mance functions),with site-specific data used to tailor such models to particular case studies.Cross-sectional forecasts of network performance at specific road capacity states may then be made,such that at the time of any‘snapshot’forecast, drivers’route choices are in some kind of individually-optimum state.In this state,drivers cannot improve their route selec-tion by a unilateral change of route,at the snapshot travel time levels.The accepted practice is to‘validate’such models on a case-by-case basis,by ensuring that the model—when supplied with a particular set of parameters,input network data and input origin–destination demand data—reproduces current mea-sured mean link trafficflows and mean journey times,on a sample of links,to some degree of accuracy(see for example,the practical guidelines in TMIP(1997)and Highways Agency(2002)).This kind of aggregate level,cross-sectional validation to existing conditions persists across a range of network modelling paradigms,ranging from static and dynamic equilibrium (Florian and Nguyen,1976;Leonard and Tough,1979;Stephenson and Teply,1984;Matzoros et al.,1987;Janson et al., 1986;Janson,1991)to micro-simulation approaches(Laird et al.,1999;Ben-Akiva et al.,2000;Keenan,2005).While such an approach is plausible,it leaves many questions unanswered,and we would particularly highlight two: 1.The process of calibration and validation of a network equilibrium model may typically occur in a cycle.That is to say,having initially calibrated a model using the base data sources,if the subsequent validation reveals substantial discrep-ancies in some part of the network,it is then natural to adjust the model parameters(including perhaps even the OD matrix elements)until the model outputs better reflect the validation data.2In this process,then,we allow the adjustment of potentially a large number of network parameters and input data in order to replicate the validation data,yet these data themselves are highly aggregate,existing only at the link level.To be clear here,we are talking about a level of coarseness even greater than that in aggregate choice models,since we cannot even infer from link-level data the aggregate shares on alternative routes or OD movements.The question that arises is then:how many different combinations of parameters and input data values might lead to a similar link-level validation,and even if we knew the answer to this question,how might we choose between these alternative combinations?In practice,this issue is typically neglected,meaning that the‘valida-tion’is a rather weak test of the model.2.Since the data are cross-sectional in time(i.e.the aim is to reproduce current base conditions in equilibrium),then in spiteof the large efforts required in data collection,no empirical evidence is routinely collected regarding the model’s main purpose,namely its ability to predict changes in behaviour and network performance under changes to the network/ demand.This issue is exacerbated by the aggregation concerns in point1:the‘ambiguity’in choosing appropriate param-eter values to satisfy the aggregate,link-level,base validation strengthens the need to independently verify that,with the selected parameter values,the model responds reliably to changes.Although such problems–offitting equilibrium models to cross-sectional data–have long been recognised by practitioners and academics(see,e.g.,Goodwin,1998), the approach described above remains the state-of-practice.Having identified these two problems,how might we go about addressing them?One approach to thefirst problem would be to return to the underlying formulation of the network model,and instead require a model definition that permits analysis by statistical inference techniques(see for example,Nakayama et al.,2009).In this way,we may potentially exploit more information in the variability of the link-level data,with well-defined notions(such as maximum likelihood)allowing a systematic basis for selection between alternative parameter value combinations.However,this approach is still using rather limited data and it is natural not just to question the model but also the data that we use to calibrate and validate it.Yet this is not altogether straightforward to resolve.As Mahmassani and Jou(2000) remarked:‘A major difficulty...is obtaining observations of actual trip-maker behaviour,at the desired level of richness, simultaneously with measurements of prevailing conditions’.For this reason,several authors have turned to simulated gaming environments and/or stated preference techniques to elicit information on drivers’route choice behaviour(e.g. 1Clearly,more sporadic and less predictable reductions in capacity may also occur,such as in the case of breakdowns and accidents,and environmental factors such as severe weather,floods or landslides(see for example,Iida,1999),but the responses to such cases are outside the scope of the present paper. 2Some authors have suggested more systematic,bi-level type optimization processes for thisfitting process(e.g.Xu et al.,2004),but this has no material effect on the essential points above.D.Watling et al./Transportation Research Part A46(2012)167–189169 Mahmassani and Herman,1990;Iida et al.,1992;Khattak et al.,1993;Vaughn et al.,1995;Wardman et al.,1997;Jou,2001; Chen et al.,2001).This provides potentially rich information for calibrating complex behavioural models,but has the obvious limitation that it is based on imagined rather than real route choice situations.Aside from its common focus on hypothetical decision situations,this latter body of work also signifies a subtle change of emphasis in the treatment of the overall network calibration problem.Rather than viewing the network equilibrium calibra-tion process as a whole,the focus is on particular components of the model;in the cases above,the focus is on that compo-nent concerned with how drivers make route decisions.If we are prepared to make such a component-wise analysis,then certainly there exists abundant empirical evidence in the literature,with a history across a number of decades of research into issues such as the factors affecting drivers’route choice(e.g.Wachs,1967;Huchingson et al.,1977;Abu-Eisheh and Mannering,1987;Duffell and Kalombaris,1988;Antonisse et al.,1989;Bekhor et al.,2002;Liu et al.,2004),the nature of travel time variability(e.g.Smeed and Jeffcoate,1971;Montgomery and May,1987;May et al.,1989;McLeod et al., 1993),and the factors affecting trafficflow variability(Bonsall et al.,1984;Huff and Hanson,1986;Ribeiro,1994;Rakha and Van Aerde,1995;Fox et al.,1998).While these works provide useful evidence for the network equilibrium calibration problem,they do not provide a frame-work in which we can judge the overall‘fit’of a particular network model in the light of uncertainty,ambient variation and systematic changes in network attributes,be they related to the OD demand,the route choice process,travel times or the network data.Moreover,such data does nothing to address the second point made above,namely the question of how to validate the model forecasts under systematic changes to its inputs.The studies of Mannering et al.(1994)and Emmerink et al.(1996)are distinctive in this context in that they address some of the empirical concerns expressed in the context of travel information impacts,but their work stops at the stage of the empirical analysis,without a link being made to net-work prediction models.The focus of the present paper therefore is both to present thefindings of an empirical study and to link this empirical evidence to network forecasting models.More recently,Zhu et al.(2010)analysed several sources of data for evidence of the traffic and behavioural impacts of the I-35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis.Most pertinent to the present paper is their location-specific analysis of linkflows at 24locations;by computing the root mean square difference inflows between successive weeks,and comparing the trend for 2006with that for2007(the latter with the bridge collapse),they observed an apparent transient impact of the bridge col-lapse.They also showed there was no statistically-significant evidence of a difference in the pattern offlows in the period September–November2007(a period starting6weeks after the bridge collapse),when compared with the corresponding period in2006.They suggested that this was indicative of the length of a‘re-equilibration process’in a conceptual sense, though did not explicitly compare their empiricalfindings with those of a network equilibrium model.The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows.In Section2we describe the process of selecting the real-life problem to analyse,together with the details and rationale behind the survey design.Following this,Section3describes the statistical techniques used to extract information on travel times and routing patterns from the survey data.Statistical inference is then considered in Section4,with the aim of detecting statistically significant explanatory factors.In Section5 comparisons are made between the observed network data and those predicted by a network equilibrium model.Finally,in Section6the conclusions of the study are highlighted,and recommendations made for both practice and future research.2.Experimental designThe ultimate objective of the study was to compare actual data with the output of a traffic network equilibrium model, specifically in terms of how well the equilibrium model was able to correctly forecast the impact of a systematic change ap-plied to the network.While a wealth of surveillance data on linkflows and travel times is routinely collected by many local and national agencies,we did not believe that such data would be sufficiently informative for our purposes.The reason is that while such data can often be disaggregated down to small time step resolutions,the data remains aggregate in terms of what it informs about driver response,since it does not provide the opportunity to explicitly trace vehicles(even in aggre-gate form)across more than one location.This has the effect that observed differences in linkflows might be attributed to many potential causes:it is especially difficult to separate out,say,ambient daily variation in the trip demand matrix from systematic changes in route choice,since both may give rise to similar impacts on observed linkflow patterns across re-corded sites.While methods do exist for reconstructing OD and network route patterns from observed link data(e.g.Yang et al.,1994),these are typically based on the premise of a valid network equilibrium model:in this case then,the data would not be able to give independent information on the validity of the network equilibrium approach.For these reasons it was decided to design and implement a purpose-built survey.However,it would not be efficient to extensively monitor a network in order to wait for something to happen,and therefore we required advance notification of some planned intervention.For this reason we chose to study the impact of urban maintenance work affecting the roads,which UK local government authorities organise on an annual basis as part of their‘Local Transport Plan’.The city council of York,a historic city in the north of England,agreed to inform us of their plans and to assist in the subsequent data collection exercise.Based on the interventions planned by York CC,the list of candidate studies was narrowed by considering factors such as its propensity to induce significant re-routing and its impact on the peak periods.Effectively the motivation here was to identify interventions that were likely to have a large impact on delays,since route choice impacts would then likely be more significant and more easily distinguished from ambient variability.This was notably at odds with the objectives of York CC,170 D.Watling et al./Transportation Research Part A46(2012)167–189in that they wished to minimise disruption,and so where possible York CC planned interventions to take place at times of day and of the year where impacts were minimised;therefore our own requirement greatly reduced the candidate set of studies to monitor.A further consideration in study selection was its timing in the year for scheduling before/after surveys so to avoid confounding effects of known significant‘seasonal’demand changes,e.g.the impact of the change between school semesters and holidays.A further consideration was York’s role as a major tourist attraction,which is also known to have a seasonal trend.However,the impact on car traffic is relatively small due to the strong promotion of public trans-port and restrictions on car travel and parking in the historic centre.We felt that we further mitigated such impacts by sub-sequently choosing to survey in the morning peak,at a time before most tourist attractions are open.Aside from the question of which intervention to survey was the issue of what data to collect.Within the resources of the project,we considered several options.We rejected stated preference survey methods as,although they provide a link to personal/socio-economic drivers,we wanted to compare actual behaviour with a network model;if the stated preference data conflicted with the network model,it would not be clear which we should question most.For revealed preference data, options considered included(i)self-completion diaries(Mahmassani and Jou,2000),(ii)automatic tracking through GPS(Jan et al.,2000;Quiroga et al.,2000;Taylor et al.,2000),and(iii)licence plate surveys(Schaefer,1988).Regarding self-comple-tion surveys,from our own interview experiments with self-completion questionnaires it was evident that travellersfind it relatively difficult to recall and describe complex choice options such as a route through an urban network,giving the po-tential for significant errors to be introduced.The automatic tracking option was believed to be the most attractive in this respect,in its potential to accurately map a given individual’s journey,but the negative side would be the potential sample size,as we would need to purchase/hire and distribute the devices;even with a large budget,it is not straightforward to identify in advance the target users,nor to guarantee their cooperation.Licence plate surveys,it was believed,offered the potential for compromise between sample size and data resolution: while we could not track routes to the same resolution as GPS,by judicious location of surveyors we had the opportunity to track vehicles across more than one location,thus providing route-like information.With time-stamped licence plates, the matched data would also provide journey time information.The negative side of this approach is the well-known poten-tial for significant recording errors if large sample rates are required.Our aim was to avoid this by recording only partial licence plates,and employing statistical methods to remove the impact of‘spurious matches’,i.e.where two different vehi-cles with the same partial licence plate occur at different locations.Moreover,extensive simulation experiments(Watling,1994)had previously shown that these latter statistical methods were effective in recovering the underlying movements and travel times,even if only a relatively small part of the licence plate were recorded,in spite of giving a large potential for spurious matching.We believed that such an approach reduced the opportunity for recorder error to such a level to suggest that a100%sample rate of vehicles passing may be feasible.This was tested in a pilot study conducted by the project team,with dictaphones used to record a100%sample of time-stamped, partial licence plates.Independent,duplicate observers were employed at the same location to compare error rates;the same study was also conducted with full licence plates.The study indicated that100%surveys with dictaphones would be feasible in moderate trafficflow,but only if partial licence plate data were used in order to control observation errors; for higherflow rates or to obtain full number plate data,video surveys should be considered.Other important practical les-sons learned from the pilot included the need for clarity in terms of vehicle types to survey(e.g.whether to include motor-cycles and taxis),and of the phonetic alphabet used by surveyors to avoid transcription ambiguities.Based on the twin considerations above of planned interventions and survey approach,several candidate studies were identified.For a candidate study,detailed design issues involved identifying:likely affected movements and alternative routes(using local knowledge of York CC,together with an existing network model of the city),in order to determine the number and location of survey sites;feasible viewpoints,based on site visits;the timing of surveys,e.g.visibility issues in the dark,winter evening peak period;the peak duration from automatic trafficflow data;and specific survey days,in view of public/school holidays.Our budget led us to survey the majority of licence plate sites manually(partial plates by audio-tape or,in lowflows,pen and paper),with video surveys limited to a small number of high-flow sites.From this combination of techniques,100%sampling rate was feasible at each site.Surveys took place in the morning peak due both to visibility considerations and to minimise conflicts with tourist/special event traffic.From automatic traffic count data it was decided to survey the period7:45–9:15as the main morning peak period.This design process led to the identification of two studies:2.1.Lendal Bridge study(Fig.1)Lendal Bridge,a critical part of York’s inner ring road,was scheduled to be closed for maintenance from September2000 for a duration of several weeks.To avoid school holidays,the‘before’surveys were scheduled for June and early September.It was decided to focus on investigating a significant southwest-to-northeast movement of traffic,the river providing a natural barrier which suggested surveying the six river crossing points(C,J,H,K,L,M in Fig.1).In total,13locations were identified for survey,in an attempt to capture traffic on both sides of the river as well as a crossing.2.2.Fishergate study(Fig.2)The partial closure(capacity reduction)of the street known as Fishergate,again part of York’s inner ring road,was scheduled for July2001to allow repairs to a collapsed sewer.Survey locations were chosen in order to intercept clockwiseFig.1.Intervention and survey locations for Lendal Bridge study.around the inner ring road,this being the direction of the partial closure.A particular aim wasFulford Road(site E in Fig.2),the main radial affected,with F and K monitoring local diversion I,J to capture wider-area diversion.studies,the plan was to survey the selected locations in the morning peak over a period of approximately covering the three periods before,during and after the intervention,with the days selected so holidays or special events.Fig.2.Intervention and survey locations for Fishergate study.In the Lendal Bridge study,while the‘before’surveys proceeded as planned,the bridge’s actualfirst day of closure on Sep-tember11th2000also marked the beginning of the UK fuel protests(BBC,2000a;Lyons and Chaterjee,2002).Trafficflows were considerably affected by the scarcity of fuel,with congestion extremely low in thefirst week of closure,to the extent that any changes could not be attributed to the bridge closure;neither had our design anticipated how to survey the impacts of the fuel shortages.We thus re-arranged our surveys to monitor more closely the planned re-opening of the bridge.Unfor-tunately these surveys were hampered by a second unanticipated event,namely the wettest autumn in the UK for270years and the highest level offlooding in York since records began(BBC,2000b).Theflooding closed much of the centre of York to road traffic,including our study area,as the roads were impassable,and therefore we abandoned the planned‘after’surveys. As a result of these events,the useable data we had(not affected by the fuel protests orflooding)consisted offive‘before’days and one‘during’day.In the Fishergate study,fortunately no extreme events occurred,allowing six‘before’and seven‘during’days to be sur-veyed,together with one additional day in the‘during’period when the works were temporarily removed.However,the works over-ran into the long summer school holidays,when it is well-known that there is a substantial seasonal effect of much lowerflows and congestion levels.We did not believe it possible to meaningfully isolate the impact of the link fully re-opening while controlling for such an effect,and so our plans for‘after re-opening’surveys were abandoned.3.Estimation of vehicle movements and travel timesThe data resulting from the surveys described in Section2is in the form of(for each day and each study)a set of time-stamped,partial licence plates,observed at a number of locations across the network.Since the data include only partial plates,they cannot simply be matched across observation points to yield reliable estimates of vehicle movements,since there is ambiguity in whether the same partial plate observed at different locations was truly caused by the same vehicle. Indeed,since the observed system is‘open’—in the sense that not all points of entry,exit,generation and attraction are mon-itored—the question is not just which of several potential matches to accept,but also whether there is any match at all.That is to say,an apparent match between data at two observation points could be caused by two separate vehicles that passed no other observation point.Thefirst stage of analysis therefore applied a series of specially-designed statistical techniques to reconstruct the vehicle movements and point-to-point travel time distributions from the observed data,allowing for all such ambiguities in the data.Although the detailed derivations of each method are not given here,since they may be found in the references provided,it is necessary to understand some of the characteristics of each method in order to interpret the results subsequently provided.Furthermore,since some of the basic techniques required modification relative to the published descriptions,then in order to explain these adaptations it is necessary to understand some of the theoretical basis.3.1.Graphical method for estimating point-to-point travel time distributionsThe preliminary technique applied to each data set was the graphical method described in Watling and Maher(1988).This method is derived for analysing partial registration plate data for unidirectional movement between a pair of observation stations(referred to as an‘origin’and a‘destination’).Thus in the data study here,it must be independently applied to given pairs of observation stations,without regard for the interdependencies between observation station pairs.On the other hand, it makes no assumption that the system is‘closed’;there may be vehicles that pass the origin that do not pass the destina-tion,and vice versa.While limited in considering only two-point surveys,the attraction of the graphical technique is that it is a non-parametric method,with no assumptions made about the arrival time distributions at the observation points(they may be non-uniform in particular),and no assumptions made about the journey time probability density.It is therefore very suitable as afirst means of investigative analysis for such data.The method begins by forming all pairs of possible matches in the data,of which some will be genuine matches(the pair of observations were due to a single vehicle)and the remainder spurious matches.Thus, for example,if there are three origin observations and two destination observations of a particular partial registration num-ber,then six possible matches may be formed,of which clearly no more than two can be genuine(and possibly only one or zero are genuine).A scatter plot may then be drawn for each possible match of the observation time at the origin versus that at the destination.The characteristic pattern of such a plot is as that shown in Fig.4a,with a dense‘line’of points(which will primarily be the genuine matches)superimposed upon a scatter of points over the whole region(which will primarily be the spurious matches).If we were to assume uniform arrival rates at the observation stations,then the spurious matches would be uniformly distributed over this plot;however,we shall avoid making such a restrictive assumption.The method begins by making a coarse estimate of the total number of genuine matches across the whole of this plot.As part of this analysis we then assume knowledge of,for any randomly selected vehicle,the probabilities:h k¼Prðvehicle is of the k th type of partial registration plateÞðk¼1;2;...;mÞwhereX m k¼1h k¼1172 D.Watling et al./Transportation Research Part A46(2012)167–189。
LOOKING BEYOND THE FIVE-FACTOR MODEL: COLLEGE SELF-EFFICACY AS A MODERATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIPBETWEEN TELLEGEN’S BIG THREE MODEL OF PERSONALITY AND HOLLAND’S MODEL OF VOCATIONAL INTEREST TYPESBy Elizabeth A BarrettThe Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality and Tellegen’s Big Three Model of personality were compared to determine their ability to predict Holland’s RIASEC interest types. College self-efficacy was examined as a moderator of the relationship between Tellegen’s Big Three model and the RIASEC interest types. A sample of 194 college freshmen (i.e., less than 30 credits completed) was drawn from the psychology participant pool of a mid-sized Midwestern university. Instruments included the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) to measure the FFM; the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire Brief Form (MPQ-BF) to measure Tellegen’s Big Three model of personality; the College Self-Efficacy Inventory (CSEI) to measure college self-efficacy; and the Self Directed Search (SDS) to measure Holland’s RIASEC model of vocational interests. Findings from correlational analyses supported previous research regarding relationships among the FFM and the RIASEC interest types, and relationships among Tellegen’s Big Three and the RIASEC interest types. As hypothesized and tested via regressions for each of the six interest types, Tellegen’s Big Three model predicted all six vocational interests types (p < .001 for all), while the FFM only predicted two types at p < .05. College self-efficacy did not moderate the relationship between Tellegen’s Big Three and the RIASEC interest types. Implications and future research are discussed.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSSeveral people have assisted me with the completion of this thesis, and I wish to thank the following people for their help and guidance:In acknowledgement of excellent guidance of this project, Dr. McFadden chairperson, whose knowledge and encouragement pushed the progress of this thesis and my development as a writer and researcher.Dr. Adams and Dr. Miron, committee members, who graciously gave their time and shared their expertise in the completion of this project, specifically, Dr. Adams who aided with the data analysis of this project and worked through multiple analysis problems with me.iiTABLE OF CONTENTSPage INTRODUCTION (1)THEORY AND LITERATURE REVIEW (4)Personality Traits and Vocational Interests Defined (4)The Five-Factor Model (FFM) of Personality (4)Holland’s Theory of Vocational Interest Types (5)Overlap between the FFM and RIASEC (7)Criticisms and Limitations of the FFM (9)Looking Beyond the FFM: Tellegen’s Big Three Model of Personality (11)Comparing Tellegen’s Big Three and the FFM (14)College Self-Efficacy: Moderating Role (16)Conclusion (20)METHOD (22)Participants (22)Procedure (23)Measures (23)Methods of Data Analysis and Missing Data (27)RESULTS (29)Descriptive Statistics (29)Relationship between the FFM and the RIASEC Interest Types:Hypothesis 1a-1e (29)Relationship between Tellegen’s Big Three and the RIASEC InterestTypes: Hypothesis 2a-2c (30)Comparing the FFM and Tellegen’s Big Three: Hypothesis 3 (31)College Self-Efficacy as Moderator: Hypothesis 4 (32)iiiTABLE OF CONTENTS (continued) DISCUSSION (34)The Relationship between the FFM and the RIASEC Interest Types (34)The Relationship between Tellegen’s Big Three and the RIASECInterest Types (35)Comparing Tellegen’s Big Three and the FFM (36)College Self-Efficacy as a Moderator (37)Limitations (38)Implications and Future Research (39)Conclusions (41)APPENDIXES (42)Appendix A: Tables (42)Table A-1.

Holland’s Hexagonal Model (55)Appendix C: Information Sheet and Surveys (56)REFERENCES (73)vINTRODUCTIONPersonality traits and vocational interests are two major individual difference domains that influence numerous outcomes associated with work and life success. For example, research has shown that congruence between personality traits and one’s vocation is related to greater job performance and job satisfaction (Barrick, Mount, & Judge, 2001; Hogan & Blake, 1999; Zak, Meir, & Kraemer, 1979). Additionally, specific personality traits are hypothesized to play a role in determining job success within related career domains (Sullivan & Hansen, 2004). Personality is a relatively enduring characteristic of an individual, and therefore could serve as a stable predictor of why people choose particular jobs and careers.Personality traits and vocational interests are linked by affecting behavior through motivational processes (Holland, 1973, 1985). Personality traits and vocational interests influence choices individuals make about which tasks and activities to engage in, how much effort to exert on those tasks, and how long to persist with those tasks (Holland, 1973, 1985; Mount, Barrick, Scullen, & Rounds, 2005). Research has shown that when individuals are in environments congruent with their interests, they are more likely to be happy because their beliefs, values, interests, and attitudes are supported and reinforced by people who are similar to them (Mount, Barrick, Scullen, & Rounds, 2005). Furthermore, research has demonstrated that personality and interests may shape career decision making and behavior; personality and interests guide the development ofknowledge and skills by providing the motivation to engage in particular types of activities (Sullivan & Hansen, 2004).As relatively stable dispositions, personality traits influence an individual’s behavior in a variety of life settings, including work (Dilchert, 2007). Individuals often prefer jobs requiring them to display behaviors that match their stable tendencies. Thus individuals will indicate a liking for occupations for which job duties and job environments correspond to their personality traits. Such a match between personal tendencies and job requirements can support adjustment and eventually occupational success, making the choice of a given job personally rewarding on multiple levels (Dilchert, 2007).People applying for jobs need to try to understand themselves more fully in order to determine if they will be satisfied with their career choices based on their personality traits. This process can be aided by vocational counselors who conduct vocational assessments. The purpose of vocational assessment is to enhance client self-understanding, promote self-exploration, and assist in realistic decision making (Carless, 1999). According to a model proposed by Carless (1999), career assessment is based on the assumption that comprehensive information about the self (e.g., knowledge of one’s personality) in relation to the world of work is a necessary prerequisite for wise career decision making.Self-efficacy beliefs--personal expectations about the ability to succeed at tasks (Bandura, 1986)--are often assessed by vocational counselors. This study examines college self-efficacy--belief in one’s ability to perform tasks necessary for success incollege (Wang & Castaneda-Sound, 2008). Self-efficacy determines the degree to which individuals initiate and persist with tasks (Bandura, 1986), and research has found that personality may influence exploration of vocational interests, through high levels of self-efficacy (Nauta, 2007).There is an abundance of literature supporting that the Five-Factor Model (FFM) (discussed in depth in following sections) of personality predicts Holland’s theory of vocational interest types; however, there is little literature that extends beyond use of the Five-Factor Model. This is due to the adoption of the FFM as an overriding model of personality over the past fifteen years. However, as will be demonstrated later, several criticisms of the model have surfaced. In light of these criticisms the purpose of this study is to extend the existing literature that has established links between the FFM and Holland’s vocational interest types, while examining the relationship between an alternate personality model, Tellegen’s Big Three (as measured by the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ)) and Holland’s types. Furthermore, this study will examine the moderating role that college self-efficacy plays on the relationship between Tellegen’s Big Three and Holland’s interest types.THEORY AND LITERATURE REVIEWPersonality Traits and Vocational Interests DefinedPersonality traits refer to characteristics that are stable over time and are psychological in nature; they reflect who we are and in aggregate determine our affective, behavioral, and cognitive styles (Mount, Barrick, Scullen, & Rounds, 2005). Vocational interests reflect long-term dispositional traits that influence vocational behavior primarily through one’s preferences for certain environments, activities, and types of people (Mount, Barrick, Scullen, & Rounds, 2005).The Five-Factor Model (FFM) of PersonalityThe FFM, often referred to as the Big Five personality dimensions, is a major model that claims personality consists of five dimensions: Openness to Experience (i.e., imaginative, intellectual, and artistically sensitive), Conscientiousness (i.e., dependable, organized, and persistent), Extraversion (i.e., sociable, active, and energetic), Agreeableness (i.e., cooperative, considerate, and trusting), and Neuroticism, sometimes referred to positively as emotional stability (i.e., calm, secure, and unemotional) (Harris, Vernon, Johnson, & Jang, 2006; McCrae & Costa, 1986; McCrae & Costa, 1987; Mount, Barrick, Scullen, & Rounds, 2005; Nauta, 2004; Sullivan & Hansen, 2004). The FFM provides the foundation for several personality measures (e.g., NEO-PI, NEO-PI-R, NEO-FFI) that have proved to be valid and reliable and are widely utilized in research today (Costa & McCrae, 1992). There appears to be a large degree of consensusregarding the FFM of personality and the instruments used to measure the model. For instance, the FFM has been shown to have a large degree of universality (McCrae, 2001), specifically in terms of stability across adulthood (McCrae & Costa, 2003) and cultures (DeFruyt & Mervielde, 1997; Hofstede & McCrae, 2004, McCrae, 2001).Holland’s Theory of Vocational Interest TypesHolland’s theory of vocational interests has played a key role in efforts to understand vocational interests, choice, and satisfaction.Holland was very clear that he believed personality and vocational interests are related:If vocational interests are construed as an expression of personality, then theyrepresent the expression of personality in work, school subjects, hobbies,recreational activities, and preferences. In short, what we have called ‘vocational interests’ are simply another aspect of personality…If vocational interests are anexpression of personality, then it follows that interest inventories are personalityinventories. (Holland, 1973, p.7)Vocational interest types, as classified by Holland, are six broad categories (discussed later in the section) that can be used to group occupations or the people who work in them. Holland’s theory of vocational interest types and work environments states that employees’ satisfaction with a job as well as propensity to leave that job depends on the degree to which their personalities match their occupational environments (Holland, 1973, 1985). Furthermore, people are assumed to be most satisfied, successful, and stable in a work environment that is congruent with their vocational interest type. Two ofHolland’s basic assumptions are: (a) individuals in a particular vocation have similar personalities, and (b) individuals tend to choose occupational environments consistent with their personality (Holland, 1997).A fundamental proposition of Holland’s theory is that, when differentiated by their vocational interests, people can be categorized according to a taxonomy of six types, hereinafter collectively referred to as RIASEC (Holland, 1973, 1985). Holland’s theory states that six vocational interest types--Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC)--influence people to seek environments which are congruent with their characteristics (Harris, Vernon, Johnson, & Jang, 2006; Holland, 1973, 1985; Nauta, 2004; Roberti, Fox, & Tunick, 2003; Sullivan & Hansen, 2004; Zak, Meir, & Kraemer, 1979). Holland used adjective descriptors to capture the distinctive characteristics of each interest type (Hogan & Blake, 1999). These are summarized in Table A-1. Holland’s approach to the assessment of vocational interest types was based on the assumption that members of an occupational group have similar work-related preferences and respond to problems and situations in similar ways (Carless, 1999).Realistic types like the systematic manipulation of machinery, tools, or animals. Investigative types have interests that involve analytical, curious, methodical, and precise activities. The interests of Artistic types are expressive, nonconforming, original, and introspective. Social types want to work with and help others. Enterprising types seek to influence others to attain organizational goals or economic gain. Finally, Conventional types are interested in systematic manipulation of data, filing records, or reproducing materials (Tokar, Vaux, & Swanson, 1995).According to Holland’s theory, these interest types differ in their relative similarity to one another, in ways that can be represented by a hexagonal figure with the types positioned at the six points (see Figure B-1). Adjacent types (e.g., Realistic and Investigative) are most similar; opposite types (e.g., Realistic and Social) are least similar, and alternating types (e.g., Realistic and Artistic) are assumed to have an intermediate level of relationship (Holland, 1973, 1985; Tokar, Vaux, & Swanson, 1995).Overlap between the FFM and RIASECMany studies provide evidence of the links between the FFM of personality and the RIASEC interest types. An extensive review of the research investigating the links between the FFM and the RIASEC types identified ten studies that found Extraversion predicts interest in jobs that focus on Social and Enterprising interests. Ten studies showed Openness to Experience predicts interest in jobs that focus on Investigative and Artistic interests. Six studies found Agreeableness predicts interest in jobs that focus on Social interest; six studies showed Conscientiousness predicts interests in jobs that focus on Conventional interests; and one study found Neuroticism predicts interests in jobs that focus on Investigative interests (see Table A-2 for the citations). One discrepancy in this research has been Costa and McCrae’s claims that the FFM applies uniformly to all adult ages, but Mroczek, Ozer, Spiro, and Kaiser (1998) found substantial differences between the structures emerging from older individuals as compared to undergraduate students, in that the five factor structure failed to emerge in the student sample (i.e., agreeableness failed to emerge) as it did with the older sample.All of the links discussed between the FFM of personality and the RIASEC interest types provide the foundation for hypotheses 1a – 1e. Hypotheses 1a – 1e will add to the literature, previously discussed, by assessing current college students early in their college careers. These are the people who have the potential to be most influenced by vocational and career counselors. Given that research has found a discrepancy in FFM profiles of younger and older individuals, it is important to test its efficacy in predicting vocational interests.Hypothesis 1a (H1a): Extraversion will significantly positively correlate withSocial and Enterprising types, but not Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, andConventional types.Hypothesis 1b (H1b): Openness to Experience will significantly positivelycorrelate with Investigative and Artistic types, but not Realistic, Conventional,Social, and Enterprising types.Hypothesis 1c (H1c): Agreeableness will significantly positively correlate withSocial types, but not Realistic, Conventional, Enterprising, Investigative, andArtistic types.Hypothesis 1d (H1d): Conscientiousness will significantly positively correlatewith Conventional types, but not Realistic, Enterprising, Investigative, Social, and Artistic types.Hypothesis 1e (H1e): Neuroticism will significantly negatively correlate withInvestigative types, but not Realistic, Enterprising, Conventional, Social, andArtistic types.Criticisms and Limitations of the FFMThe whole enterprise of science depends on challenging accepted views, and the FFM has become one of the most accepted models in personality research. Many critiques of the FFM ask “Why are there five and only five factors? Five factor protagonists say: it is an empirical fact…via the mathematical method of factor analysis, the basic dimensions of personality have been discovered.” (McCrae & Costa, 1989, p. 120). Has psychology as a science achieved a final and absolute way of looking at personality or is there a way to further our conceptualization of personality? In the article by Costa and McCrae (1997) explaining the anticipated changes to the NEO in the new millennium, they anticipate only minor wording modifications and simplifications. Thus it appears as if the FFM is viewed as a final or almost final achievement (Block, 2001). One claimed benefit of the FFM is evidence of heritability is strong for all 5 factors, but evidence is strong for all personality factors studied; it does not single out the Costa and McCrae factors (Eysenck, 1992). In other words, all the criteria suggested by Costa and McCrae are necessary but not sufficient to mark out one model from many which also conform to this criteria.The debate that has been most prominent over the past 15 years, and which has probably attracted the most attention, concerns the number and description of the basic, fundamental, highest-order factors of personality. Evidence from meta-analyses of factorial studies provide evidence that three, not five personality factors, emerge at the highest level of analysis (Royce & Powell, 1983; Tellegen & Waller, 1991; Zuckerman, Kuhlman, & Camac, 1988; Zuckerman, Kuhlman, Thornquist, & Kiers, 1991).Altogether, Eysenck (1992) has surveyed many different models, questionnaires and inventories, reporting in most cases a break-down into 2 or 3 major factors; but never 5. Additionally, Jackson, Furnham, Forde, and Cotter (2000) and Tellegen (1985) have contradicted Costa and McCrae’s (1995) assertions that a five-factor model seems most appropriate, with results showing that a three-factor solution is both more clear and parsimonious.Another critique of the FFM lies in its development. The initial factor-analytic derivations of the Big Five were not guided by explicit psychological theory, and therefore some have asked the question, “Why these five?” (e.g., Revelle, 1987; Waller & Ben-Porath, 1987). As Briggs (1989) points out, the original studies leading to the FFM “prompted no a priori predictions as to what factors should emerge, and a coherent and falsifiable explanation for the five factors has yet to be put forward” (p. 249).A further developmental critique of the FFM is the lack of lower order factors. Theoretically, factors exist at different hierarchical levels, and the FFM only measures five higher order factors (Block, 2001). The FFM operates at a broadband level to measure the main (i.e., higher order) categories of traits (McAdams, 1992). Within each of the five categories, therefore, may be many different and more specific traits, as traits are nested hierarchically within traits (McAdams, 1992).Another limitation of the FFM lies in researchers’ inability to consistently link the personality traits to the Holland interest types. Research has found that although there is a significant overlap between the FFM and RIASEC interest types, the RIASEC types do not appear to be entirely encompassed by the Big-Five personality dimensions (Carless,1999; Church, 1994; DeFruyt & Mervielde, 1999; Tokar, Vaux, & Swanson, 1995). Three personality dimensions in the FFM predict the RIASEC types, but there is less evidence to support that the other two predict the RIASEC types. Specifically, there appears to be significant overlap with Conscientiousness, Openness, and Extraversion in predicting the RIASEC interest types, but less research has been able to find links between Agreeableness and Neuroticism with the RIASEC interest types. This is a limitation of the FFM in relating to vocational interests (Costa, McCrae, & Holland, 1984; Gottfredson, Jones, & Holland, 1993; Tokar, Vaux, & Swanson, 1995).Looking Beyond the FFM: Tellegen’s Big Three Model of PersonalityIn light of these criticisms of the FFM, it seems attention could be paid to alternate models of personality to investigate the dimensions underlying Holland’s interest types. The literature base is sparse here, and alternative personality models warrant further study, particularly with regard to vocational interests (Blake & Sackett, 1999; Church, 1994; Larson & Borgen, 2002; Staggs, Larson, & Borgen, 2003). One such model is Tellegen’s Big Three which addresses many of the criticisms of the FFM.Many vocational psychology researchers use the Big Five model of personality, often measured by the NEO-PI or NEO-PI-R, but less often the Big Three model of personality measured by the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) is used (Tellegen, 1985; Tellegen & Waller, 1991). This model of personality resulted from ten years of research on focal dimensions in the personality literature (Tellegen, 1985; Tellegen & Waller, 1991). Tellegen’s (1985; Tellegen & Waller, 1991) Big Three modeldefines three higher order factors. These represent the clusters of items from a factor analysis that composed the three higher order traits. The lower order factors consist of items clustered in each of the higher order factors. The higher order factors are: Positive Emotionality (PEM), Negative Emotionality (NEM), and Constraint (CT) (Tellegen, 1985; Tellegen & Waller, 1991). These higher order traits correlate minimally with one another and encompass 11 lower order traits. Refer to Table A-3 for a description of the three higher order traits and the 11 lower order traits.There are only three published studies that have examined the Big Three model as relating to vocational interests. Blake and Sackett (1999) reported that the Artistic type moderately related with the MPQ Absorption lower order trait (Larson & Borgen, 2002). The Social type negatively related to the MPQ Aggression lower order trait; the Enterprising type related moderately to the MPQ Social Potency lower order trait; and the Conventional type related moderately to the MPQ Control lower order trait.Staggs, Larson, and Borgen (2003) also analyzed the lower order traits, specifically, as opposed to the higher order factors of PEM, NEM, and CT. They identified seven personality dimensions that have a substantial relationship with vocational interests: Absorption predicted interest in Artistic occupations; Social Potency predicted interest in Enterprising occupations; Harm Avoidance predicted interest in science and mechanical activity occupations; Achievement predicted interest in science and mathematic occupations; Social Closeness predicted interest in mechanical activity occupations; Traditionalism predicted interest in religious activities; and Stress Reaction predicted interest in athletic careers. Staggs, Larson, and Borgen (2003) used a collegestudent sample, but were not studying the RIASEC types; they were using a different conceptualization of vocational interests as measured by the Strong Interest Inventory which measures General Occupational Themes.Larson and Borgen (2002) found that the PEM factor was more strongly correlated with Social interests than with Enterprising interests; however, PEM did strongly correlate with all six RIASEC types (p < .001). This finding shows strong evidence that the PEM higher order trait relates to the RIASEC types. Larson and Borgen (2002) also found that the CT factor was negatively related to Realistic and Artistic interest types, and that the NEM factor was negatively related to Artistic interest types. Larson and Borgen (2002) utilized a sample of “gifted” adolescent students, which is a very limited and non-generalizable sample. In contrast, the current study tests a freshman college student sample, which is more generalizable to the population of students who are seeking vocational guidance.The links between the MPQ and the RIASEC interest types are under-researched. Although some vocational research has utilized the MPQ, more needs to be done to determine the relationships between Tellegen’s Big Three and Holland’s RIASEC interest types. However, the research provides support for the idea that there are alternative personality dimensions (i.e., Tellegen’s Big Three), outside of the FFM, that can significantly predict vocational interests, in particular the RIASEC types. Hypotheses 2a – 2c will test relationships between the Tellegen’s Big Three (as measured by the MPQ-BF) and the RIASEC interest types.Hypothesis 2a (H2a): The PEM factor will significantly positively correlate with all six RIASEC types.Hypothesis 2b (H2b): The CT factor will significantly negatively correlate withRealistic and Artistic types, but not with Investigative, Social, Enterprising, andConventional types.Hypothesis 2c (H2c): The NEM factor will significantly negatively correlate with Artistic types, but not with Investigative, Social, Enterprising, Realistic, andConventional types.Comparing Tellegen’s Big Three and the FFMAn earlier discussion proposed criticisms of the FFM. In light of these criticisms an alternate personality model was considered: Tellegens’ Big Three, measured by the MPQ. This model of personality resolves all the previous criticisms of the FFM: five versus 3 factors, lack of lower order factors, and model development issues.Tellegen’s (1985) understanding of personality differs from the conception of the FFM. Tellegen believes personality can be summed by three overriding traits or factors versus the 5 factors of the FFM. This is an inherent difference in the two models of personality, which guided the development of instruments used to measure these models, in terms of a three versus a five factor structure. Furthermore, Tellegen (1985) utilized a bottom-up approach to development of the MPQ, in which constructs were based on iterative cycles of data collection and item analyses designed to better differentiate the primary scales. In contrast, Tupes and Chrtistal (1961) emphasized deductive, top-down。

英语专业八级考试TEM-8阅读理解练习册(1)(英语专业2012级)UNIT 1Text AEvery minute of every day, what ecologist生态学家James Carlton calls a global ―conveyor belt‖, redistributes ocean organisms生物.It’s planetwide biological disruption生物的破坏that scientists have barely begun to understand.Dr. Carlton —an oceanographer at Williams College in Williamstown,Mass.—explains that, at any given moment, ―There are several thousand marine species traveling… in the ballast water of ships.‖ These creatures move from coastal waters where they fit into the local web of life to places where some of them could tear that web apart. This is the larger dimension of the infamous无耻的,邪恶的invasion of fish-destroying, pipe-clogging zebra mussels有斑马纹的贻贝.Such voracious贪婪的invaders at least make their presence known. What concerns Carlton and his fellow marine ecologists is the lack of knowledge about the hundreds of alien invaders that quietly enter coastal waters around the world every day. Many of them probably just die out. Some benignly亲切地,仁慈地—or even beneficially — join the local scene. But some will make trouble.In one sense, this is an old story. Organisms have ridden ships for centuries. They have clung to hulls and come along with cargo. What’s new is the scale and speed of the migrations made possible by the massive volume of ship-ballast water压载水— taken in to provide ship stability—continuously moving around the world…Ships load up with ballast water and its inhabitants in coastal waters of one port and dump the ballast in another port that may be thousands of kilometers away. A single load can run to hundreds of gallons. Some larger ships take on as much as 40 million gallons. The creatures that come along tend to be in their larva free-floating stage. When discharged排出in alien waters they can mature into crabs, jellyfish水母, slugs鼻涕虫,蛞蝓, and many other forms.Since the problem involves coastal species, simply banning ballast dumps in coastal waters would, in theory, solve it. Coastal organisms in ballast water that is flushed into midocean would not survive. Such a ban has worked for North American Inland Waterway. But it would be hard to enforce it worldwide. Heating ballast water or straining it should also halt the species spread. But before any such worldwide regulations were imposed, scientists would need a clearer view of what is going on.The continuous shuffling洗牌of marine organisms has changed the biology of the sea on a global scale.

The list goes on.Legislation like the Clean Water Act and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act have provided some protection, but threats continue.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported yesterday that an assessment of 642,000 miles of rivers and streams showed 34 percent in less than good condition. In a major study of the Clean Water Act, the Natural Resources Defense Council last fall reported that poison runoff impairs损害more than 125,000 miles of rivers.More recently, the NRDC and Izaak Walton League warned that pollution and loss of wetlands—made worse by last year’s flooding—is degrading恶化the Mississippi River ecosystem.On Tuesday, the conservation group保护组织American Rivers issued its annual list of 10 ―endangered‖ and 20 ―threatened‖ rivers in 32 states, the District of Colombia, and Canada.At the top of the list is the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, whereCanadian mining firms plan to build a 74-acre英亩reservoir水库,蓄水池as part of a gold mine less than three miles from Yellowstone National Park. The reservoir would hold the runoff from the sulfuric acid 硫酸used to extract gold from crushed rock.―In the event this tailings pond failed, the impact to th e greater Yellowstone ecosystem would be cataclysmic大变动的,灾难性的and the damage irreversible不可逆转的.‖ Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, wrote to Noranda Minerals Inc., an owner of the ― New World Mine‖.Last fall, an EPA official expressed concern about the mine and its potential impact, especially the plastic-lined storage reservoir. ― I am unaware of any studies evaluating how a tailings pond尾矿池,残渣池could be maintained to ensure its structural integrity forev er,‖ said Stephen Hoffman, chief of the EPA’s Mining Waste Section. ―It is my opinion that underwater disposal of tailings at New World may present a potentially significant threat to human health and the environment.‖The results of an environmental-impact statement, now being drafted by the Forest Service and Montana Department of State Lands, could determine the mine’s future…In its recent proposal to reauthorize the Clean Water Act, the Clinton administration noted ―dramatically improved water quality since 1972,‖ when the act was passed. But it also reported that 30 percent of riverscontinue to be degraded, mainly by silt泥沙and nutrients from farm and urban runoff, combined sewer overflows, and municipal sewage城市污水. Bottom sediments沉积物are contaminated污染in more than 1,000 waterways, the administration reported in releasing its proposal in January. Between 60 and 80 percent of riparian corridors (riverbank lands) have been degraded.As with endangered species and their habitats in forests and deserts, the complexity of ecosystems is seen in rivers and the effects of development----beyond the obvious threats of industrial pollution, municipal waste, and in-stream diversions改道to slake消除the thirst of new communities in dry regions like the Southwes t…While there are many political hurdles障碍ahead, reauthorization of the Clean Water Act this year holds promise for US rivers.

The passage conveys the impression that_______.A. Canadians are disinterested in natural resourcesB. private and public environmental groups aboundC. river banks are erodingD. the majority of US rivers are in poor conditionText CA classic series of experiments to determine the effects ofoverpopulation on communities of rats was reported in February of 1962 in an article in Scientific American. The experiments were conducted by a psychologist, John B. Calhoun and his associates. In each of these experiments, an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure and given an adequate supply of food, water, and other necessities. The rat populations were allowed to increase. Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosures without experiencing stress due to overcrowding. He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number. Then he stabilized the population by removing offspring that were not dependent on their mothers. He and his associates then carefully observed and recorded behavior in these overpopulated communities. At the end of their experiments, Calhoun and his associates were able to conclude that overcrowding causes a breakdown in the normal social relationships among rats, a kind of social disease. The rats in the experiments did not follow the same patterns of behavior as rats would in a community without overcrowding.The females in the rat population were the most seriously affected by the high population density: They showed deviant异常的maternal behavior; they did not behave as mother rats normally do. In fact, many of the pups幼兽,幼崽, as rat babies are called, died as a result of poor maternal care. For example, mothers sometimes abandoned their pups,and, without their mothers' care, the pups died. Under normal conditions, a mother rat would not leave her pups alone to die. However, the experiments verified that in overpopulated communities, mother rats do not behave normally. Their behavior may be considered pathologically 病理上,病理学地diseased.The dominant males in the rat population were the least affected by overpopulation. Each of these strong males claimed an area of the enclosure as his own. Therefore, these individuals did not experience the overcrowding in the same way as the other rats did. The fact that the dominant males had adequate space in which to live may explain why they were not as seriously affected by overpopulation as the other rats. However, dominant males did behave pathologically at times. Their antisocial behavior consisted of attacks on weaker male,female, and immature rats. This deviant behavior showed that even though the dominant males had enough living space, they too were affected by the general overcrowding in the enclosure.Non-dominant males in the experimental rat communities also exhibited deviant social behavior. Some withdrew completely; they moved very little and ate and drank at times when the other rats were sleeping in order to avoid contact with them. Other non-dominant males were hyperactive; they were much more active than is normal, chasing other rats and fighting each other. This segment of the rat population, likeall the other parts, was affected by the overpopulation.The behavior of the non-dominant males and of the other components of the rat population has parallels in human behavior. People in densely populated areas exhibit deviant behavior similar to that of the rats in Calhoun's experiments. In large urban areas such as New York City, London, Mexican City, and Cairo, there are abandoned children. There are cruel, powerful individuals, both men and women. There are also people who withdraw and people who become hyperactive. The quantity of other forms of social pathology such as murder, rape, and robbery also frequently occur in densely populated human communities. Is the principal cause of these disorders overpopulation? Calhoun’s experiments suggest that it might be. In any case, social scientists and city planners have been influenced by the results of this series of experiments.11. Paragraph l is organized according to__________.A. reasonsB. descriptionC. examplesD. definition12.Calhoun stabilized the rat population_________.A. when it was double the number that could live in the enclosure without stressB. by removing young ratsC. at a constant number of adult rats in the enclosureD. all of the above are correct13.W hich of the following inferences CANNOT be made from theinformation inPara. 1?A. Calhoun's experiment is still considered important today.B. Overpopulation causes pathological behavior in rat populations.C. Stress does not occur in rat communities unless there is overcrowding.D. Calhoun had experimented with rats before.14. Which of the following behavior didn‟t happen in this experiment?A. All the male rats exhibited pathological behavior.B. Mother rats abandoned their pups.C. Female rats showed deviant maternal behavior.D. Mother rats left their rat babies alone.15. The main idea of the paragraph three is that __________.A. dominant males had adequate living spaceB. dominant males were not as seriously affected by overcrowding as the otherratsC. dominant males attacked weaker ratsD. the strongest males are always able to adapt to bad conditionsText DThe first mention of slavery in the statutes法令,法规of the English colonies of North America does not occur until after 1660—some forty years after the importation of the first Black people. Lest we think that existed in fact before it did in law, Oscar and Mary Handlin assure us, that the status of B lack people down to the 1660’s was that of servants. A critique批判of the Handlins’ interpretation of why legal slavery did not appear until the 1660’s suggests that assumptions about the relation between slavery and racial prejudice should be reexamined, and that explanation for the different treatment of Black slaves in North and South America should be expanded.The Handlins explain the appearance of legal slavery by arguing that, during the 1660’s, the position of white servants was improving relative to that of black servants. Thus, the Handlins contend, Black and White servants, heretofore treated alike, each attained a different status. There are, however, important objections to this argument. First, the Handlins cannot adequately demonstrate that t he White servant’s position was improving, during and after the 1660’s; several acts of the Maryland and Virginia legislatures indicate otherwise. Another flaw in the Handlins’ interpretation is their assumption that prior to the establishment of legal slavery there was no discrimination against Black people. It is true that before the 1660’s Black people were rarely called slaves. But this shouldnot overshadow evidence from the 1630’s on that points to racial discrimination without using the term slavery. Such discrimination sometimes stopped short of lifetime servitude or inherited status—the two attributes of true slavery—yet in other cases it included both. The Handlins’ argument excludes the real possibility that Black people in the English colonies were never treated as the equals of White people.The possibility has important ramifications后果,影响.If from the outset Black people were discriminated against, then legal slavery should be viewed as a reflection and an extension of racial prejudice rather than, as many historians including the Handlins have argued, the cause of prejudice. In addition, the existence of discrimination before the advent of legal slavery offers a further explanation for the harsher treatment of Black slaves in North than in South America. Freyre and Tannenbaum have rightly argued that the lack of certain traditions in North America—such as a Roman conception of slavery and a Roman Catholic emphasis on equality— explains why the treatment of Black slaves was more severe there than in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of South America. But this cannot be the whole explanation since it is merely negative, based only on a lack of something. A more compelling令人信服的explanation is that the early and sometimes extreme racial discrimination in the English colonies helped determine the particular nature of the slavery that followed. (462 words)16. Which of the following is the most logical inference to be drawn from the passage about the effects of “several acts of the Maryland and Virginia legislatures” (Para.2) passed during and after the 1660‟s?A. The acts negatively affected the pre-1660’s position of Black as wellas of White servants.B. The acts had the effect of impairing rather than improving theposition of White servants relative to what it had been before the 1660’s.C. The acts had a different effect on the position of white servants thandid many of the acts passed during this time by the legislatures of other colonies.D. The acts, at the very least, caused the position of White servants toremain no better than it had been before the 1660’s.17. With which of the following statements regarding the status ofBlack people in the English colonies of North America before the 1660‟s would the author be LEAST likely to agree?A. Although black people were not legally considered to be slaves,they were often called slaves.B. Although subject to some discrimination, black people had a higherlegal status than they did after the 1660’s.C. Although sometimes subject to lifetime servitude, black peoplewere not legally considered to be slaves.D. Although often not treated the same as White people, black people,like many white people, possessed the legal status of servants.18. According to the passage, the Handlins have argued which of thefollowing about the relationship between racial prejudice and the institution of legal slavery in the English colonies of North America?A. Racial prejudice and the institution of slavery arose simultaneously.B. Racial prejudice most often the form of the imposition of inheritedstatus, one of the attributes of slavery.C. The source of racial prejudice was the institution of slavery.D. Because of the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, racialprejudice sometimes did not result in slavery.19. The passage suggests that the existence of a Roman conception ofslavery in Spanish and Portuguese colonies had the effect of _________.A. extending rather than causing racial prejudice in these coloniesB. hastening the legalization of slavery in these colonies.C. mitigating some of the conditions of slavery for black people in these coloniesD. delaying the introduction of slavery into the English colonies20. The author considers the explanation put forward by Freyre andTannenbaum for the treatment accorded B lack slaves in the English colonies of North America to be _____________.A. ambitious but misguidedB. valid有根据的but limitedC. popular but suspectD. anachronistic过时的,时代错误的and controversialUNIT 2Text AThe sea lay like an unbroken mirror all around the pine-girt, lonely shores of Orr’s Island. Tall, kingly spruce s wore their regal王室的crowns of cones high in air, sparkling with diamonds of clear exuded gum流出的树胶; vast old hemlocks铁杉of primeval原始的growth stood darkling in their forest shadows, their branches hung with long hoary moss久远的青苔;while feathery larches羽毛般的落叶松,turned to brilliant gold by autumn frosts, lighted up the darker shadows of the evergreens. It was one of those hazy朦胧的, calm, dissolving days of Indian summer, when everything is so quiet that the fainest kiss of the wave on the beach can be heard, and white clouds seem to faint into the blue of the sky, and soft swathing一长条bands of violet vapor make all earth look dreamy, and give to the sharp, clear-cut outlines of the northern landscape all those mysteries of light and shade which impart such tenderness to Italian scenery.The funeral was over,--- the tread鞋底的花纹/ 踏of many feet, bearing the heavy burden of two broken lives, had been to the lonely graveyard, and had come back again,--- each footstep lighter and more unconstrained不受拘束的as each one went his way from the great old tragedy of Death to the common cheerful of Life.The solemn black clock stood swaying with its eternal ―tick-tock, tick-tock,‖ in the kitchen of the brown house on Orr’s Island. There was there that sense of a stillness that can be felt,---such as settles down on a dwelling住处when any of its inmates have passed through its doors for the last time, to go whence they shall not return. The best room was shut up and darkened, with only so much light as could fall through a little heart-shaped hole in the window-shutter,---for except on solemn visits, or prayer-meetings or weddings, or funerals, that room formed no part of the daily family scenery.The kitchen was clean and ample, hearth灶台, and oven on one side, and rows of old-fashioned splint-bottomed chairs against the wall. A table scoured to snowy whiteness, and a little work-stand whereon lay the Bible, the Missionary Herald, and the Weekly Christian Mirror, before named, formed the principal furniture. One feature, however, must not be forgotten, ---a great sea-chest水手用的储物箱,which had been the companion of Zephaniah through all the countries of the earth. Old, and battered破旧的,磨损的, and unsightly难看的it looked, yet report said that there was good store within which men for the most part respect more than anything else; and, indeed it proved often when a deed of grace was to be done--- when a woman was suddenly made a widow in a coast gale大风,狂风, or a fishing-smack小渔船was run down in the fogs off the banks, leaving in some neighboring cottage a family of orphans,---in all such cases, the opening of this sea-chest was an event of good omen 预兆to the bereaved丧亲者;for Zephaniah had a large heart and a large hand, and was apt有…的倾向to take it out full of silver dollars when once it went in. So the ark of the covenant约柜could not have been looked on with more reverence崇敬than the neighbours usually showed to Captain Pennel’s sea-chest.1. The author describes Orr‟s Island in a(n)______way.A.emotionally appealing, imaginativeB.rational, logically preciseC.factually detailed, objectiveD.vague, uncertain2.According to the passage, the “best room”_____.A.has its many windows boarded upB.has had the furniture removedC.is used only on formal and ceremonious occasionsD.is the busiest room in the house3.From the description of the kitchen we can infer that thehouse belongs to people who_____.A.never have guestsB.like modern appliancesC.are probably religiousD.dislike housework4.The passage implies that_______.A.few people attended the funeralB.fishing is a secure vocationC.the island is densely populatedD.the house belonged to the deceased5.From the description of Zephaniah we can see thathe_________.A.was physically a very big manB.preferred the lonely life of a sailorC.always stayed at homeD.was frugal and saved a lotText BBasic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country' s impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada's history, in the decade before 1911 when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families; In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world. After the peak year of 1957, thebirth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer, more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through theWestern world since the time of the Industrial Revolution. Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the cent), another increase in the first half of the 1960s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.6. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Educational changes in Canadian society.B. Canada during the Second World War.C. Population trends in postwar Canada.D. Standards of living in Canada.7. According to the passage, when did Canada's baby boom begin?A. In the decade after 1911.B. After 1945.C. During the depression of the 1930s.D. In 1966.8. The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950s____________.A. the urban population decreased rapidlyB. fewer people marriedC. economic conditions were poorD. the birth rate was very high9. When was the birth rate in Canada at its lowest postwar level?A. 1966.B. 1957.C. 1956.D. 1951.10. The author mentions all of the following as causes of declines inpopulation growth after 1957 EXCEPT_________________.A. people being better educatedB. people getting married earlierC. better standards of livingD. couples buying houses11.I t can be inferred from the passage that before the IndustrialRevolution_______________.A. families were largerB. population statistics were unreliableC. the population grew steadilyD. economic conditions were badText CI was just a boy when my father brought me to Harlem for the first time, almost 50 years ago. We stayed at the hotel Theresa, a grand brick structure at 125th Street and Seventh avenue. Once, in the hotel restaurant, my father pointed out Joe Louis. He even got Mr. Brown, the hotel manager, to introduce me to him, a bit punchy强力的but still champ焦急as fast as I was concerned.Much has changed since then. Business and real estate are booming. Some say a new renaissance is under way. Others decry责难what they see as outside forces running roughshod肆意践踏over the old Harlem. New York meant Harlem to me, and as a young man I visited it whenever I could. But many of my old haunts are gone. The Theresa shut down in 1966. National chains that once ignored Harlem now anticipate yuppie money and want pieces of this prime Manhattan real estate. So here I am on a hot August afternoon, sitting in a Starbucks that two years ago opened a block away from the Theresa, snatching抓取,攫取at memories between sips of high-priced coffee. I am about to open up a piece of the old Harlem---the New York Amsterdam News---when a tourist。

总第108期PSYCHOLOGI C AL EXP LORATI O N第4期效度概化的理论研究述评3杨建锋1,王重鸣2(1.江西财经大学工商管理学院,南昌330013;2.浙江大学管理学院,杭州310058)摘 要:效度概化(validity generalizati on:VG)是心理测量理论和元分析的结合体,也是元分析在人事测评领域的重要应用。
它深刻地挑战了人事测评效度的情景特异论,在工业与组织心理学的发展历程当中具有里程碑意义。
该文系统地介绍了效度概化理论的逻辑思路、主要模型、关键理论语与应用,以及研究趋势。
关键词:效度概化;统计性偏差;元分析;人事测评中图分类号:B841.2 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1003-5184(2008)04-0085-051 引言从上世纪六、七十年代开始,心理测评及选拔领域就一直面临着两个方面的难题:一个是测评工具的效度与被测评对象的工作种类有关;另一个就是在类似情景下,采用类似测评工具对从事类似工作的人员进行测验时,效度波动很大。
于是,当时的工业与组织心理学家(如Gui on和Ghiselli等)就认为:由于在不同情境下看似相同的工作,具有截然不同的本质,所以人事测评的效度(主要指效标效度,下文同)具有情景特异性———同样的人事测评工具在不同的情景下会表现出截然不同的效度。
因此,支持“情景特异论”的研究者就认为:人事测评工具对情景变异非常敏感,每个人事测评研究都应该考察其所用测量工具的效度。
70年代末,研究者开始用效度概化理论来检验“情景特异论”的可靠性[1],发现通过研究设计来控制那些可能会影响效度的因素之后,在不同情景下所得到的效度就会表现出明显的一致性[1]。

Doroshkevich,M¨u ller,Retzalf&Turchaninov1999,here-after DMRT).Hence,for suitable cosmological models the evolution of small initial perturbations results in the SLSS formation.In this paper we present an approximate statistical de-scription of the process of DM structure formation based on the nonlinear Zel’dovich theory.The potential of this ap-proach is limited as the successive consideration of mutual interactions of the small and large scale perturbations be-comes more and more cumbersome.In spite of this it allows us to obtain some interesting results.Thus,it is shown that formation of both LSS and SLSS is a joint process possess-ing some features of self-similarity.The main observed characteristics of LSS and SLSS are expressed through the structure functions of power spectrum and through the typ-ical scales,set by the power spectrum,the time scale,set by the amplitude of perturbation,and the main parameters of cosmological model.One of the most interesting such charac-teristics is the dynamical scale of the nonlinearity defined as the scale of essential DM concentration within high density walls.We show that for the CDM transfer function(Bardeen et al.1986,hereafter BBKS)and Harrison–Zel’dovich pri-mordial power spectrum and for cosmological models with lower matter density this scale of nonlinearity reaches20–30h−1Mpc that is comparable with typical scales of the observed SLSS elements.Simulations(DMRT)show that even in cosmological models with a low matter density the simulated velocity dispersion within the SLSS elements reaches400–700km/s along each principal axis;this exceeds the observed value by a factor of∼1.5–2.Such a large and isotropic velocity dispersion is caused by the disruption of the walls into high density clouds.For smaller matter density of the universe this dispersion decreases but together with the fraction of matter accumulated by the walls.This means that other factors as,for example,the large scale bias in the spatial galaxy distribution relative to the more homogeneous dis-tribution of DM and baryons could be essential for the suc-cessful reproduction of the observed SLSS.Such large scale bias caused by the interaction of small and large scale per-turbations was discussed by Dekel&Silk(1986),and Dekel &Rees(1987),and estimated by Demia´n ski&Doroshke-vich(1999,hereafter Paper I).The interaction of small and large scale perturbations is important during all evolutionary stages.Thus,even dur-ing early evolutionary periods the large scale perturbations modulate the rate of pancake formation.This modulation is seen as an acceleration of the pancake formation within deeper potential wells which later are transformed into the wall-like SLSS elements(Buryak et al.1992;Demia´n ski& Doroshkevich1997;Paper I).Suppression of pancake forma-tion near the peaks of gravitational potential noted by Sahni et al.(1994)is another manifestation of such interactions. During all evolutionary stages these interactions result in the successive merging of individual pancakes.The acceler-ation of pancake disruption,caused by compression of mat-ter within walls,can also be attributed to this interaction. Now it is observed as a high velocity dispersion in simulated SLSS and as differences between the expected and measured mass functions.It was found to be essential even for pan-cakes formed at high redshifts(Miralda-Escude et al.1996). The possible correlation of galaxy morphology with large scale perturbations was discussed by Evrard et al.(1990). All these manifestations of small and large scale interaction are important for the correct comparison and interpretation of simulated and observed matter distribution.Now the modulation of spatial distribution of pancakes formed at high redshifts z≥4can be seen as the large scale bias in the galaxy and DM spatial distribution.This bias can be generated by the combined action of large scale per-turbations and reheating of baryonic component of the uni-verse(see,e.g.,Dekel&Silk1986;Dekel&Rees1987).The reheating was discussed many times during the last thirty years in various aspects(see,e.g.,Sunyaev&Zel’dovich 1972;White&Rees1978;Shapiro,Giroux&Babul1994). Effects of reheating on the process of galaxy formation were discussed as well(see,e.g.,Babul&White1991;Efstathiou 1992;Quinn,Katz&Efstathiou1996).It is also known that under reasonable assumptions about the possible en-ergy sources reheating can occur for relatively small range of redshifts z≈5−10(see,e.g.,Tegmark et al.1997;Baltz et al.1998).If essential concentration of baryons in high density clouds is reached at the same redshifts,the reheat-ing can help to generate bias(Demia´n ski&Doroshkevich 1997;Paper I).In this case further formation of high den-sity baryonic clouds will be significantly depressed,due to reheating,within extended regions observed today as under dense regions between richer walls.Our estimates show that this spatial modulation of the luminous matter distribution may be essential for the interpretation of observations.Numerical simulations are now the best way to repro-duce and to study the joint action of all the pertinent fac-tors together and to obtain more representative descrip-tion of the process of structure formation.Essential progress achieved recently both in the simulations and study of DM and’galaxy’distributions(Governato et al.1998;Jenkins et al.1998;Doroshkevich,Fong&Makarova1998;DMRT; Cole,Hatton,Weinberg&Frenk1998)allows us to follow the structure evolution in a wide range of redshifts and to re-veal differences between DM and galaxy -parison of these results with observations and an approxi-mate theoretical description stimulates further progress in our understanding of evolution of the universe.This paper is organized as follows:In Sect.2main nota-tions are introduced.In Sec.3and4the distribution func-tions of DM pancakes are derived and the interaction of small and large scale perturbations is described that allows us to obtain in Secs.5and6the statistical characteristics of DM structure.In Sec.7the large scale bias is discussed and in Sec.8the dynamical characteristics of walls are found.In Sec.9the theoretical estimates are compared with the avail-c 0000RAS,MNRAS000,000–000Formation and evolution of structure3 able observational and simulated data.We conclude withSec.10where a short discussion of the main results is pre-sented.Some technical details are given in Appendixes I–IV.2STATISTICAL PARAMETERS OFPERTURBATIONS:V ARIANCES ANDTYPICAL SCALESThe simplest characteristics of perturbations are the vari-ances of density and velocity perturbations.For a more de-tailed statistical description of the structure evolution it isnecessary to use also the structure functions.They were in-troduced in Paper I and are briefly described in this Sectionand Appendix I.Here we consider only the SCDM-like powerspectrum but the same approach can be applied for otherspectra as well.Our analysis is based on the Zel’dovich theory whichlinks the Eulerian,r i,and the Lagrangian,q i,coordinatesoffluid elements(particles)by the expressionr i=(1+z)−1[q i−B(z)S i(q)],(2.1)where z denotes the redshift,B(z)describes growth of per-turbations in the linear theory,and the potential vectorS i(q)=∂φ/∂q i characterizes the spatial distribution of per-turbations.The Lagrangian coordinates of a particle,q i,areits unperturbed comoving coordinates.For theflat universe withΩm+ΩΛ=1,Ωm≥0.1,thefunction B(z)can be approximated with a precision betterthen10%by the expression(Paper I)B−3(z)≈1−Ωm+2.2Ωm(1+z)31+1.5Ωmz(2.3)(Zel’dovich&Novikov1983).ForΩm=1,ΩΛ=0bothexpressions give B−1(z)=1+z.The main characteristics of the perturbations are thevariances of densityσ2ρ,displacementσ2s,and componentsof the deformation tensorσ2Dσ2s=12π2 ∞0p(k)k2dk,(2.4)where p(k)is the power spectrum,and k is the comoving wave number.The power spectrum determines also two amplitude in-dependent typical scales,which allow us to describe the pro-cess of structure formation and can be,possibly,estimated from the observed galaxy distribution.For the Harrison–Zel’dovich primordial power spectrum these scales,l0and l c,are defined asl−20= ∞0kT2(k/k0)dk,l2c=5σ2ρ,(2.5)where T2(x)is the transfer function and k0=Ωm h2Mpc−1. For the CDM transfer function(BBKS)the scale l0and the typical masses of DM and baryonic components associated with the scale l0arel0≈6.6(Ωm h)−1 m−2h−1Mpc,(2.6)M0=πΩ2m h4,M(0)b=Ωb√l0 3M0≈0.6·1010M⊙m−220µK a(Ωm,ΩΛ)Mpc,(2.8)a(Ωm,ΩΛ=1−Ωm)=Ω0.215−0.05lnΩmm,a(Ωm,ΩΛ=0)=Ω0.65−0.19lnΩmm.where T Q is the amplitude of quadrupole component of anisotropy of the relic radiation.The time scale of the struc-ture evolution is defined by the functionτ(z)=τ0B(z),(2.9)τ0=σs3l0≈2.73h2Ωm m−220µK a(Ωm,ΩΛ),τ0≈2.73h2Ω1.21m m−220µK ,ΩΛ=1−Ωm,τ0≈2.73h2Ω1.65−0.19lnΩmm m−220µK,ΩΛ=0,Ωm≤1.Further on,as a rule,the dimensionless variables will be used.We will use l0as the unit of length,and<ρ>l0as the unit of surface density.This means also that such dimen-sionless characteristics of a pancake as the size of collapsed slab and resulting surface density of a pancake are identical. Below we will use both terms as well as the term’mass’,m,c 0000RAS,MNRAS000,000–0004Demia´n ski&Doroshkevichto characterize the surface density reached during formation of a pancake.The gravitational potential and displacement are measured in units ofσs l0/√3,respectively.3STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PANCAKESIn this section the mass function of Zel’dovich pancakes and its time evolution is given.This can be done using the main equation of Zel’dovich theory(2.1).The mass of compressed matter is measured by the Lagrangian size of compressed slab,q,or by the surface density of pancake,<ρ>q.As it was noted above,both measures are identical in dimen-sionless notation.So,we will use both terms’size’,q,and ’mass’,m,of a pancake to characterize its surface density.Here we do not consider the transversal characteristics of structure elements and cannot discriminate,for example, the central part of a poorer pancake and periphery of richer pancake,if they have the same surface density or mass,m. In this sense our approach gives characteristics similar to that obtained with the core-sampling analysis,pencil beam observations or the distribution of absorption lines in spectra of QSOs.3.1The pancake formationAccording to the relation(2.1)when two particles with dif-ferent Lagrangian coordinates q1and q2meet at the same Eulerian point r a pancake with the surface mass density <ρ>|q1−q2|forms.Here we assume that all particles situ-ated between these two boundary particles are also incorpo-rated into the same pancake.This assumption is also made in the adhesion approach(see,e.g.,Shandarin&Zel’dovich 1989).Formally,this condition can be written asq12=q1−q2=τ·[S(q1)−S(q2)].(3.1) This means that the pancake formation process can be char-acterized by the scalar random functionQ(q12)=q128 1+erf µ(q)2τ 3,(3.3)µ(q)=q2[1−G12(q)].where(see Appendix I&II)µ(q)≈q/2,q0≪q<1,µ(q)≈q/√ln M DM,M q=q30M0≈3.·108M⊙8of matter withQ(q12)≥0is compressed at least in one direction and for∼12π,σ2λ=(13/6−4.5/π)σ2D.As in theZel’dovich theory pancake formation is described by the re-lation B(z)λ1=1(which follows directly from(2.1)),so forthe fraction of compressed matter withλ1≥1/B we havef DM≈1√l0τ−32π (3.5)and forτ≫l c/l0,f DM→1(in the Zel’dovich theory0.92≤f DM≤1).This shows that already during the earlyperiod of nonlinear evolution,atτ≈l c/l0≪1,large frac-tion of matter f DM≥0.9is compressed into low mass pan-cakes.But for the CDM-like power spectrum the descriptionof matter compression through the deformation tensor is ap-propriate only at small scales q≤q0whereas for q≫q0,the correlations between matterflow in orthogonal direc-tions rapidly decrease what can be seen directly from theexpressions for the structure functions given in Appendix I.At larger scales we have to use the more cumbersomedescription discussed above and the estimate(3.3)showsthat at such scales the efficiency of matter integration intostructure elements is only∼0.875(more accurate estimatestaking into account the correlation of displacements lowersthis value to0.79).This limit is reached already at smallτ,for q≪1,that means strong matter concentration withinsmall structure elements.Further evolution does not changethis limit and only redistributes–due to sequential merging–the compressed matter to more and more massive struc-ture elements.Thus,the approximate estimates show that∼21%of matter is subjected to3D compression,∼21%to3Dexpansion,∼29%of matter is subjected to2D compressionand can be accumulated byfilaments and∼29%is subjectedto1D compression and remains in pancakes.The differencebetween estimates(3.3)and(3.5)shows that∼15–20%of matter incorporated in small clouds,with M≤M q,isc 0000RAS,MNRAS000,000–000Formation and evolution of structure5 not accumulated by larger pancakes,with M≥M q,and re-mains distributed between those pancakes.These estimatescan be changed because the Zel’dovich approximation be-comes invalid when strong matter compression is reachedduring pancakes formation.3.2The characteristics of pancake formationThe probability distribution function(PDF)for pancakesformed at the momentτcan be found from(3.3)asN cr(q,τ)=−8dq=62πτdµ√7 ∞0W cr dq,(3.7)<m(τ)>≈4τ2,τ≪1,<m(τ)>≈τ,τ≥1, and the mass distribution is characterized by the functionN(m)cr =62πτqdqΦ µ2τ .(3.8)The rate of formation of pancakes with mass q isNτ=8dτ(q,τ)=62πµ√4√q<∇Q·d r>Φ µ2τ .When l c≪l0it is described by the following(approximate)expression:n(>q)≈3<µr>q0[√3+√qΦ µ2τ ,l c n(>q)≈1.356πµ(q)√32π2<Q22Q33−Q223>√∂q i,Q ij=∂2Qτ2−1+2qτ2−1,(3.12)n0=33qq0 3/2Φµ2τ .The function n31is similar to the standard expression foran isotropic Gaussianfield(BBKS).Thefirst zero of Euler characteristic describes ap-proximately the percolation when separate higher peaksare incorporated into a larger(in the limiting case-in-finite)structure element(Tomita1990;Mecke and Wag-ner1991).The expressions(3.12)show that in the direc-tions orthogonal to q12the percolation takes place at the’moment’τ=µ(q)whereas along q12it occurs later,atτ=µ(q)6Demia´n ski&Doroshkevichdensity of such peaks can be obtained from(3.12),forµ/τ> 1,asl30n pk(>q,τ)=n0µ2τ1,D sep =0.5·erfc(g2/√√τ;D12dqe−0.5g22.(3.15)These relations characterize the parameters of pancakes formed at the momentτunder the condition of a pancake formation at the momentτ1with the size D1and the sepa-ration D sep.The basic relation(3.1)implies that two pancakes with sizes D1and D2and a separation|D sep|≤0.5(D1+D2) merge together and form a single pancake.For larger separa-tions merging of pancakes can also be considered in the same manner as before,but using the Euler position of formed pancaker pan= q1q2r(q)1+z q cent−B(z)∆φ122erfc χ(D1,D2,D sep)2 (3.17)The functionχ(D1,D2,D sep)is given by(III.6).We can ex-tend applicability of the formula(3.17)for small separations by requiring thatW merg(D1,D2,D sep)=1,|D sep|≤0.5(D1+D2).(3.18)4PANCAKE EVOLUTION AND FORMATION OF FILAMENTSSimilar technique can also be used to estimate the transver-sal size,the pancakes compression and/or expansion in transversal directions,and other properties of pancakes.As we are interested in the formation of structure elements with typical sizes q≫q0the local description through the de-formation tensor cannot be used and the imposed condi-tions make even approximate description of pancake evolu-tion quite cumbersome(see,e.g.,Kofman et al.1994).The general tendencies and rough characteristics of this evolu-tion can only be outlined.Thus,for example,we can esti-mate the matter fraction compressed withinfilamentary-like elements and high density clumps as of about50%whereas only∼29%of matter is subjected to1D compression.This estimate implies that larger pancakes could also incorporate an essential fraction offilaments and clumps.The formation offilaments as well as pancakes disrup-tion are stimulated by the growth of density in the course of pancakes compression,and therefore,probably,during early evolutionary stages,filaments represent the most conspicu-ous elements of the structure.As was discussed in Sec.3.3,filaments merge to form a joint ter,when larger pancakes are formed,the evolution of pancakes becomes slower and disruption of pancakes dominates.These expec-tations are consistent with the observed and simulated mat-ter distribution.Thus,the conspicuousfilaments are seen even at z=3(see,e.g.,Governato et al.1998;Jenkins et al. 1998)whereas disrupted walls dominate at small redshifts (LCRS1,LCRS2,DMRT).4.1The characteristics offilament formation Some approximate characteristics offilament distribution can be obtained by considering the formation offilaments as a sequential matter compression along two principal direc-tions.Such two step compression results in formation of highc 0000RAS,MNRAS000,000–000Formation and evolution of structure7 density”ridge”surrounded by a lower density anisotropichalo.In a coordinate system with thefirst and second axesoriented along the directions of maximal and intermediatecompressions this process can be approximately describedby two equations similar to(3.2):Q(q12)=q12/τ,Q(y12)=y12/τf.(4.1)Here vectors q12and y12and functions Q(q12)&Q(y12)describe the deformation along thefirst and second coordi-nate axes respectively and additional conditions introducedin(3.2)are assumed to be fulfilled.As was discussed abovethe matter compression along the second axis is acceleratedby the pancake formation and the functionτf(z)differs fromthat given by(2.9).Bearing in mind these restrictions we will approxi-mately characterize the probability offilament formation,W f cr,for given q&y prior to the’time’τ&τf or forgivenτ&τf with sizes larger then q&y,respectively,asthe probability to have Q(q12)/q12≥Q(y12)/y12≥1/τf,Q(q12)/q12≥1/τ:W f cr(>q,τ;>y,τf)=1−1√8erfc µ(q)2τ 1+erf µ(y)2τf 2.(4.2) The PDF for thefilaments,N f cr,can be found from(4.2)asN(f)cr (q,τ;y,τf)=8dqdµ(y)2τ2−µ(y)√q/2,y≪1,µ(y)≈√2π<m f>√x e−√2(x+1/x)(4.4)ξ=m f8erfc µ(q)2τ 1+erf µ(y)2τf 2.instead of expressions(3.2)and(3.3).The PDF for suchpancakes isN(p)cr(q,τ)= πdµ(q)2τ2 ,0≤q≤∞.(4.5)<m p>=4τ2q≪1.This PDF differs from(3.6)by the form of the functionΦ(x)what decreases the PDF for largerµ/τ.As before,expression(4.5)characterizes pancakes bythe surface mass density of collapsed matter,q.However thepancake surface mass density varies with time after pancakeformation due to transversal compression or expansion thatresults,in particular,in formation offilaments.Even if thesetransversal motions do not lead to such dramatic resultsthey can change drastically the observed surface density ofpancakes.So,the current surface mass density m p=q/s p,where s p describes the variation of pancake surface causedby transversal motions,is a more adequate characteristic ofpancakes.As was discussed above this period of pancake evolutionis not adequately described by the Zel’dovich theory and ourresults become unreliable.To obtain qualitative characteris-tics of influence of these factors we can,for example,describethe variation of pancake’s surface ass p∝(1−τ∗Q(y12)/y12)(1−τ∗Q(z12)/z12).Here vectors y12and z12,and functions Q(y12)&Q(z12),de-scribe the deformation along the second and third coordinateaxes respectively.The functionτ∗differs from that givenby(2.9)and it can depend on transversal motions.Evenso rough consideration shows that the exponential term in(4.5)is eroded,and the resulting PDF becomes power-like:N(m p≪1)∝m−1/2p,N(m p≫1)∝m−2p.(4.6)The pancake disruption accelerates this erosion as well andmakes the PDF more complicated.This discussion shows that slowly evolving pancakeswith slower transversal motions can be separated into aspecial subpopulation for which the surface density changesslowly,m p≈q,and the PDF(4.5)correctly describes thepancake distribution during the essential period of evolution.This subpopulation is singled out by conditions|Q(z12)/z12|≤|Q(y12)/y12|≤ǫ/τ,ǫ<1and the probability of existence of such pancakes is pro-portional toτ−2.This factor describes the disappearance ofsuch pancakes in the course of evolution.This subpopulationcan be however quite rich(see.,discussion in Sec.9).5STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OFDARK MATTER STRUCTURE ELEMENTSResults obtained above allow us tofind the approximatePDF and other characteristics of structure elements.Thestructure element with a size(mass)m is defined as a pan-cake with the size m formed at a momentτthat not mergedwith any other pancake.c 0000RAS,MNRAS000,000–0008Demia´n ski&Doroshkevich5.1Merging of dark matter structure elementsAs before the characteristics of structure element at a mo-mentτare expressed through characteristics of initial per-turbations.The approximate expression for the PDF of structure element can be written in a form similar to the known equation of coagulation:N str(m,τ)=(5.1) ∞dy m0dxN cr(x,τ)N c(m−x,x,y,τ)dW merg(x,m−x,y)dy.The functions N cr,N c&W merg are given by(3.6),(3.15), (3.17)&(3.18).Here thefirst term describes the formation of two pancakes with sizes x&m−x and a separation y and their merging to a pancake with the size m while the second term describes merging of the pancake of size m with another pancake.If the mass exchanged during merging is incorporated into the forming pancake then thefirst term in (5.1)has to be appropriately changed.Here,as thefirst step of investigation,we will use the simpler approximate approach based on the survival proba-bility of a pancake with size m to avoid merging with larger pancakes with sizes x≥m.For the more interesting case of smaller pancakes with q0≪m≤x<1,the most prob-able process is the formation of two pancakes with sizes m&x≥m at a small separation|D sep|≤0.5(x+m)that means,as follows from(3.1),formation of one structure ele-ment with a size x.This process is described by the second term in(5.1).Because in this case the probability of merging quickly decreases for larger separations|D sep|≥0.5(m+x) and the function W c(m,x,D sep)weakly depends on D sep, we will use the approximate expression for the probability of merging,P mrg,P mrg(m,τ)≈2W c m,τ;mτ ,(5.2)P mrg(m,τ)≈erfc µ(m)2 ,m≪1,(5.3) and for the survival probability,P surv,P surv(m,τ)≈1−P mrg(m,τ),(5.4)P surv(m,τ)≈erf µ(m)2 ,m≪1.In spite of the approximate character of this approach,it allows us to obtain reasonable estimates of the expected effi-ciency of merging and of the large scale bias.As it is directly seen from(5.4),forµ(m)≤τ,P surv(m,τ)∝µ(m)τ−1,what characterizes the impact of pancakemerging.Figure1.The PDF of structure elements,N str(m,τ),the mass distribution function,mN str(m,τ),and the fraction of com-pressed matter,f(>m),vs.the masses(sizes)of structure el-ements,m/m m,are plotted forfive moments of time:τ=0.1 (solid line),τ=0.3(dashed line),τ=0.5(dot-dashed line),τ= 0.7(dot-dot-dot-dashed line),τ=2(long dashed line).5.2Statistical characteristics of structureelementsWith this survival probability the approximate PDF for the structure elements,N str(q,τ),can be written as follows:N str(m,τ)∝P surv(m,τ)N cr(m,τ).(5.5) These relations allow us to obtain also the approximate mass distribution function,N(m)str(m,τ),characterizing the distri-bution of compressed matter over the structure elements. For the more interesting case m≪1we haveN str(m,τ)≈242πτdµ√√dmP surv(m,τ)(5.7) =n(>m,τ)P surv(m,τ)+ ∞m dmn(>m,τ)dP surv(m,τ)。
