What should I wear to work? An integrative review of the impact of clothing in the workplace.

Perceptions of clothing are complex, varying across individuals, situations, cultures, and time. Although there is very little research on the topic in our field, evidence from a wide variety of other disciplines points to the importance of clothing in the workplace. In this article, we review this evidence and identify three universal and distinctive clothing characteristics at work: formality, provocativeness, and fashionability.

Detecting gender as a moderator in meta-analysis: The problem of restricted between-study variance.

Meta-analyses in the psychological sciences typically examine moderators that may explain heterogeneity in effect sizes. One of the most commonly examined moderators is gender. Overall, tests of gender as a moderator are rarely significant, which may be because effects rarely differ substantially between men and women.

Untying the climate strength knot: A meta-analytic examination of restricted variance effects in climate strength relations.

Climate strength is often included in organizational climate models, however, its role in such models remains unclear. We propose that the inconsistent findings regarding the effects of climate strength are due in part to its complicated relationship with climate level. Specifically, we propose that the relationship between level and strength is heteroscedastic and nonlinear due to restricted variance (RV) and potential leniency bias in climate ratings.

Sex Differences in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension. Treatment Options over Time in a National Referral Center.

(1) Background: Clinical presentation, disease distribution, or treatment received may provide insights into the reasons contributing to sex differences in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). (2) Methods: We evaluated 453 patients (56% women) between 2007-2019. Data was collected from REHAP (Registro Español de Hipertensión Arterial Pulmonar) registry.

Greater Male Variability in Cooperation: Meta-Analytic Evidence for an Evolutionary Perspective.

Do men and women differ systematically in their cooperation behaviors? Researchers have long grappled with this question, and studies have returned equivocal results. We developed an evolutionary perspective according to which men are characterized by greater intrasex variability in cooperation as a result of sex-differentiated psychological adaptations. We tested our hypothesis in two meta-analyses.

Situation strength as a basis for interactions in psychological models.

One of the most important methods that psychological scientists use to understand behavior and cognition is theorizing. Increasingly, theorizing is used to support not only additive hypotheses, but also multiplicative ones. And yet, authors often struggle to provide adequate theoretical justifications for multiplicative hypotheses.

Feasibility of a Noninvasive Operability Assessment in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension under Real-World Practice.

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a noninvasive operability assessment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) based on multidetector computed tomographic angiography (MCTA). Up to 176 patients were evaluated from January 2016 to April 2018. Throughout the first phase, the initial surgical decision was made based on MCTA with further analysis of pulmonary angiography (PA) in order to evaluate in which cases the initial decision was not modified by PA.

From alpha to omega and beyond! A look at the past, present, and (possible) future of psychometric soundness in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

The psychometric soundness of measures has been a central concern of articles published in the Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) since the inception of the journal. At the same time, it isn't clear that investigators and reviewers prioritize psychometric soundness to a degree that would allow one to have sufficient confidence in conclusions regarding constructs. The purposes of the present article are to (a) examine current scale development and evaluation practices in JAP; (b) compare these practices to recommended practices, previous practices, and practices in other journals; and (c) use these comparisons to make recommendations for reviewers, editors, and investigators regarding the creation and evaluation of measures including Excel-based calculators for various indices.

Where you came from and where you are going: The role of performance trajectory in promotion decisions.

Despite the clear theoretical link between promotions and job performance, the few studies that have tested this relationship have instead found that the role of job performance level in determining promotions is much less than might be expected. In 4 studies, we propose and test a different way of thinking about the performance-promotion relationship. Prospect theory, spiraling theory, and sponsored and contest mobility were used to support the notion that change in performance is at least as important to the prediction of promotion decisions as is absolute level of performance.

Situational strength interactions: Are variance patterns consistent with the theory?

Mischel's (1973, 1977) theory of situational strength has been used widely within the organizational sciences to help explain why contextual factors moderate predictor-criterion relationships. Situational strength interactions represent a particular type known as a restricted variance (RV) interaction (Cortina, Köhler, & Nielsen, 2015). The theory proposes that the strength of a given situation constrains or compresses the variance of the dependent variable, weakening its prediction from other variables.

Early mortality after heart transplantation related to IgA anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies.

Background: The presence of pre-formed IgA anti-β-glycoprotein I antibodies (IgA-aB2GP1ab) has been related to early graft loss after kidney transplant. Because β-glycoprotein I is produced in both the kidney and heart, we aimed to assess whether the presence of these antibodies may also be associated with poor outcomes after heart transplantation (HT).

Methods: A 2-year follow-up retrospective analysis of 151 consecutive patients who underwent HT between 2004 and 2012 was performed to assess the role of this pre-formed antibody type in HT.

Twilight of dawn or of evening? A century of research methods in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

We offer a critical review and synthesis of research methods in the first century of the Journal of Applied Psychology. We divide the chronology into 6 periods. The first emphasizes the first few issues of the journal, which, in many ways, set us on a methodological course that we sail to this day, and then takes us through the mid-1920s.

Analyzing matrices of meta-analytic correlations: current practices and recommendations.

Researchers have become increasingly interested in conducting analyses on meta-analytic correlation matrices. Methodologists have provided guidance and recommended practices for the application of this technique. The purpose of this article is to review current practices regarding analyzing meta-analytic correlation matrices, to identify the gaps between current and best practices, and to offer a comprehensive set of recommendations regarding the planning, collection, analysis, and interpretation of studies that utilize meta-analytic correlation matrices.

Sleepiness at work: a review and framework of how the physiology of sleepiness impacts the workplace.

Sleepiness, the biological drive to sleep, is an important construct for the organizational sciences. This physiological phenomenon has received very little attention in the organizational science literature in spite of the fact that it influences a wide variety of workplace behaviors. In this article, we develop a framework through which sleepiness can be fruitfully studied.

Induction treatment with monoclonal antibodies for heart transplantation.

Individualization of induction therapy for heart transplantation (HT) is needed, given that only patients at significant risk for fatal rejection seem to present a favorable risk-benefit ratio. The question whether monoclonal interleukin 2 antagonists or antilymphocyte antibodies should be recommended remains unanswered. As most studies suggest that they have similar efficacy in preventing acute rejection, other variables related to safety or management costs should be taken into account.

Endocarditis caused by Arthrographis kalrae.

Arthrographis kalrae is an uncommon etiology in clinical fungal infections. We describe a patient with native aortic valve endocarditis and aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by this agent who required multiple cardiac procedures.

[Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: surgical treatment with thromboendarterectomy].

Background And Objectives: Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is considered the potential curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). We analysed the results of the PTE application in our institution.

Patients And Methods: From February 1996 to December 2007, 30 patients with CTEPH underwent video-assisted PTE.

Early acute aortic dissection of the donor aorta after orthotopic heart transplantation.

Acute type A aortic dissection is an uncommon complication after orthotopic heart transplantation and usually affects the native aorta. Seven cases reported in the literature describe an aortic dissection confined to the donor aorta and only in two of them were they detected during the early postoperative period. We describe the case of a 58-year-old man, the recipient of a cardiac allograft for ischemic cardiomyopathy 20 days earlier, who presented an acute type A aortic dissection limited to the donor aorta.

Knowledge and skills that facilitate the personal support dimension of citizenship.

Efforts to identify the individual attributes that predict organizational citizenship have focused largely on dispositional factors. This focus reflects an unstated assumption that anyone can engage in successful citizenship, but only some choose to do so. The authors contend that, although this may be true of some dimensions of citizenship, it is not true of others.

Predictors of mortality and reoperation in acute type-a aortic dissection surgery: 18 years of experience.

Introduction And Objectives: To describe our experience with acute type-A aortic dissection surgery, including an analysis of the effect of cerebral protection on outcome.

Methods: Between March 1990 and October 2007, 98 consecutive patients underwent surgery for acute type-A aortic dissection. Of these, 85 had an ascending aorta replacement, while the entire arch was replaced in 13.

Conscientiousness and reactions to psychological contract breach: a longitudinal field study.

The authors examined the role of employee conscientiousness as a moderator of the relationships between psychological contract breach and employee behavioral and attitudinal reactions to the breach. They collected data from 106 newly hired employees within the 1st month of employment (Time 1), 3 months later (Time 2), and 8 months after Time 1 (Time 3) to observe the progression through contract development, breach, and reaction. Results suggest that conscientiousness is a significant moderator for 4 of the 5 contract breach-employee reaction relationships examined (turnover intentions, organizational loyalty, job satisfaction, and 1 of 2 facets of job performance).

[Aortic valve preservation in Marfan syndrome. Initial experience].

Introduction And Objectives: Preservation of the aortic valve using the technique described by David has been shown to be as effective as the Bentall-De Bono procedure. It avoids both the need for long-term anticoagulation and the complications associated with mechanical prostheses. We report our initial experience using this technique in patients with Marfan syndrome.
