We theoretically and experimentally study the effect of random noise on effort level in individual and three different types of group contests: perfect-substitutes, best-shot, and weakest-link. Subjects compete for either a high prize value or a low prize value in individual contests. The theoretical model shows that individual effort increases with prize value but decreases with noise variance. Our experiment finds that in individual contests, subjects who compete for a low prize decrease their efforts as noise variance rises, as theoretically predicted. Contrary to the theoretical prediction, there is no effect of noise variance on the efforts of subjects who compete for a high prize. For group contests, each group has two heterogeneous players, one with a high prize valuation, named as a strong player, and one with a low prize valuation, named as a weak player. The theoretical model predicts both strong and weak players’ efforts decrease while noise variance increases in all group contests, except for weak players in best-shot contests. Our experimental analysis could not confirm the theoretical predictions for perfect-substitutes and weakest-link contests. We find no effect of noise variance on both strong and weak players’ efforts. In best-shot contest, in line with the theoretical prediction, strong players’ efforts decrease as the noise variance increases. Contrary to prediction, weak players’ effort choices are higher than 0 in both high and low noise variances, yet their efforts also decrease with random noise. Finally, we compare how subjects’ efforts differ from individual contests to group contests. We find that in all group contests, players exert effort as much as in individual contests.

The Nature of Pre-service Science Teachers' Argumentation in Inquiry-oriented Laboratory Context
Ozdem, Yasemin; ERTEPINAR, HAMİDE; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Erduran, Sibel (2013-10-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the kinds of argumentation schemes generated by pre-service elementary science teachers (PSTs) as they perform inquiry-oriented laboratory tasks, and to explore how argumentation schemes vary by task as well as by experimentation and discussion sessions. The model of argumentative and scientific inquiry was used as a design framework in the present study. According to the model, the inquiry of scientific topics was employed by groups of participants through experimen...
The effect of cooperative learning approach based on conceptual change conditions on students understanding of chemical equilibrium
Bilgin, İbrahim; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the cooperative learning approach based on conceptual change conditions over traditional instruction on 10th grade students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium concepts. In addition, the effects of students' performance in small group work on the students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium was investigated. mThe subjects ...
THE DYNAMICS OF A QUANTAL RESERVOIR COUPLED TO CLASSICAL MODES - A MIXED-MODE APPROACH TO DISSOCIATING MOLECULES
YURTSEVER, E; UZER, T (1992-07-01)
We have analyzed a three-mode model system to study quantum effects in a dissociative process. An algorithm which combines Hamilton's and time-dependent Schroedinger equations in an SCF manner is applied. Large differences in the qualitative behaviour of trajectories are observed which suggests a chaotic nature. The monitoring of the energy transfer or trajectories themselves by interactive computer graphics can be used to forecast possibilities of dissociation. It is also noted that the initial conditions ...
The Moderating Role of Feedback on Forgetting in Item Recognition
Kılıç Özhan, Aslı; Malmberg, Kenneth J.; Criss, Amy H. (2021-06-01)
We conducted three experiments specifically designed to simultaneously evaluate the effects on recognition accuracy of adding items during study and adding items during test. The recognition memory list-length effect (LLE) is small and unreliable (Annis et al. 2015; Dennis et al. 2008), but additional test trials produce a robust decrease in accuracy, termed output interference (OI; Criss et al. 2011; Kılıç et al. 2017). This is puzzling; why should the size of the effect of additional stimulus exposures de...
The Effect of Cinematherapy on Perfectionism and Related Schemas
Aka, Basak Tuerkueler; Gençöz, Faruk (2010-06-01)
This study aimed to reveal the effect of cinematherapy on perfectionism and related early maladaptive schemas and investigate the contribution of participants' identification with the film on this process. Accordingly, demographic information form, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Hewitt & Flett, 1991a; 1991b), three Early Maladaptive Schema (Emotional Inhibition, Unrelenting Standards-Hypercriticalness, Approval. Seeking-Recognition Seeking) items from Young Schema Questionnaire (Young & Brown 2001), ...
