    Our study had many conclusions congruent with the findings found in our review of literature, but a portion of our research explored areas that the other studies did not. Self-efficacy was a factor studied in both Peterson (2009) and McLaughlin, et al., (2008) research studies. Although our research did not report self-efficacy scales, it did look at attributes related to self-efficacy, shown in Table 7, such as leadership, stress coping, and adaptation to change. These three factors each had a strong

    Introduction Since Nilles first defined the term ‘telecommunicating’ (Nilles 1975), or alternatively, teleworking, this new method of performing the job has been more and more exercised as a cure for various ‘organisational ills’, for example, work-family balance (Bailey & Kurland 2002). By the end of last century, there were 1.1 million employees in USA working out of office (Bailey & Kurland 2002).

    In investigation 1, the data points are very clustered from the height of 150cm to the height of 300cm. This makes sense as saplings are defined as young trees that are taller than 1.35m above the forest floor. So between 150cm and 300cm is most likely average height which would be the majority of the population. The overall data set of investigation 1 is alot more spread out than the compact data set of investigation 2. On the other hand, in investigation 2 all the data points are overlapping and

    Money & Happiness When posed with the task of creating a digital documentary, my first thoughts were not positive. I had expected to be assigned a written essay for our final project, and the concept of creating a persuasive documentary was foreign to me. Eventually I decided that I would continue with the topic of the correlation of money and happiness, due to the fact that I had previously written my literature review on the same topic. I took my previous knowledge that I had learned from researching

    Discriminant validity shows the distinctiveness of a construct compared to the others (Carmines and Zeller 1979). It is verified using the cross loadings and Fornell-Larcker criterion. The table shows that the loadings of the items corresponding to one construct is greater than the loadings on the other constructs. According to Fornell-Larcker(1981) criterion the pairwise correlations among the constructs is to be compared with the Average variance extracted. If the square root of AVE (depicted

    standard curve developed using different dilutions. Statistical Analyses The analysis of variance (ANOVA) for each trait was computed by GLIMMIX procedure. The introgression line was entered as a fixed effect and replication as a random effect. Pearson correlation coefficients were computed to determine the relationship among different morphological and physiological traits. Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software version 9.4 for Windows (SAS 2012) was used for the data analysis. The histograms

    Starting in 1972, the General Social Survey (GSS) used a four-category response scale for respondents to answer a question on how they view their own health, known as the self-reported health question (SRH) (Smith 2005, 1). The four-categories used were: poor, fair, good, and excellent (Smith et al. 2017, 385) Starting in 2002, the GSS started using both a four and five-category scale for people to respond to the SRH (Smith et al. 2017,1537). The five-category scale used the same measures from the
