This study investigated the value orientations of optimists and pessimists and the value structures of each group. The Life Orientation Test and the Rokeach Value Survey were administered to 285 university students in Ankara, Turkey. Results indicated that there were differences in the value orientations of optimists and pessimists. The examination of value structures of optimists and pessimists revealved that optimists were likely to give priority to self-expansion, while pessimists tended toward self-restriction.

ANTITHETIC BIAS REDUCTION FOR DISCRETE-EVENT SIMULATIONS DELIGONUL, ZS (Informa UK Limited, 1987-05-01) This study presents a technique for reducing the bias induced by arbitrary initial conditions in some discrete simulation studies. The technique relies on compensating the existing bias in a run by purposely introducing a deviation in the counter-direction during the subsequent run. Specifically, after obtaining a sample with initial condition X0, an antithetic companion run is generated starting from (2X̄ - X0). This introduces an adjustment equal and opposite to the indicated deviation, as measured by the...
Validation of the mathematical knowledge for teaching statistics instrument Mercimek, Oktay; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2017-01-01) The purpose of this study is to assess preserviceteachers’ mathematical knowledge forteaching statistics (MKT-S) and identify the relationship between the components of this knowledge. For this purpose, MKT-S instrument consisting of two dimensions, ‘content knowledge’ (CK) and ‘pedagogical content knowledge’ (PCK) was developed, and applied to659 preservice middle school mathematics teachers (PTs). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that CK and PCK are two different dimensions of mathematical knowledge of...

Performance outcomes of interorganizational trust in buyer-seller relationships: the case of the relationship between a pharmacy and a drug wholesaler Şengün, Ayşe Elif; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı; Department of Business Administration (2005) This study examines the performance outcomes of interorganizational trust using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Using qualitative data from four informants and drawing on the literature on trust, we define interorganizational trust and derive a model of its outcomes. Regression analysis results indicate that trust is negatively related to transaction costs and positively related to cooperation, conflict resolution, satisfaction, and risk taking tendency. Dependence has a moderating effect on trus...
Preservice primary teachers’ mental computation strategies in structurally-related addition and subtraction problems Çelikkol, Ecem; Sevinç, Şerife; Department of Mathematics Education (2022-12-15) The purpose of this study is to analyze mental computation strategies used by preservice primary teachers while solving addition and subtraction problems that are related in terms of the part-part-whole structure. The data were gathered from 86 preservice primary teachers studying at a state university in Turkiye. In this single-case embedded design, a set of structurally-related two-digit addition and subtraction problems were implemented with semi-structured clinical interviews. The participants were give...
