Dispositional Factors (dispositional + factor)
Selected AbstractsCurrent concepts for the prevention of venous thromboembolismEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION, Issue 2005P. Bramlage Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and the annual incidence of VTE is 1 per 1000. The individual risk for venous thromboembolism may be substantially higher and is determined by expositional and dispositional factors. Unfractionated heparin and warfarin have been the mainstays for the prevention of VTE until the early 1980s. Bleeding complications and side effects limited the use of these agents and subsequently low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) were introduced into clinical practice. These are most commonly used for the prophylaxis and treatment of VTE today. In the last decade, the pace of development of further anticoagulants has accelerated with the introduction of new treatment regimens and new substances. In this context, novel drugs directed against clotting factor Xa (such as fondaparinux) and direct thrombin inhibitors (such as melagatran/ximelagatran) have been developed. Fondaparinux shows a favourable efficacy/safety profile and has been documented to be cost-effective compared to enoxaparin in the US and the UK. [source] How fatiguing is dispositional suppression?EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 2 2007Disentangling the effects of procedural rebound, ego-depletion Recent work has shown that correcting a dispositional inference may lead social observers to over-emphasize the role of dispositional factors in subsequent judgments. This effect has been explained as a procedural rebound following a phase of dispositional suppression. We conducted two experiments to test an alternative explanation in terms of ego-depletion. In Experiment 1, we compared the effects of ego-depletion and dispositional rebound by relying on the attitude attribution paradigm and the cookie paradigm. In Experiment 2, we turned to a difficult math task in order to induce fatigue. We were able to replicate the dispositional rebound and the ego-depletion effects but none of the experiments supported an ego-depletion explanation of post-suppression dispositional rebound.

[source] The impact of personality on training-related aspects of motivation: Test of a longitudinal modelHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT QUARTERLY, Issue 1 2007Jens Rowold A model that proposed dispositional influences on training-related aspects of motivation was developed. More specifically, the model predicted influences of the Big Five personality variables on motivation to learn and transfer motivation, while controlling for general attitudes toward training. The model was tested empirically, drawing on a sample of ninety-four employees from call centers who participated in a training program. Results indicated that motivation to learn was predicted by extraversion and agreeableness, and transfer motivation was predicted by motivation to learn, extraversion, and emotional stability. The impact of extraversion on transfer motivation was partially mediated by motivation to learn. In sum, the importance of dispositional factors in training research was explored and clarified. Implications for theory and practice are discussed. [source] Finding the Person in Personal RelationshipsJOURNAL OF PERSONALITY, Issue 6 2002Harry T. Reis ABSTRACT The search for dispositional factors that influence the course and conduct of close relationships has long and popular roots. No cogent theory of interpersonal processes would deny that dispositional factors matter, and, furthermore, both scholarly and lay analyses often emphasize them. Although existing research has made progress in understanding how dispositions affect behavior in ongoing relationships, when all is said and done, this progress has been modest. In this paper, we discuss several interlocking theoretical and methodological principles that may facilitate movement to the next (and more sophisticated) generation of theory and research. We draw particularly on interdependence theory to discuss the concepts of relationship and persons-in-relationship. Central to our analysis is the principle that interaction in relationships is an inherently dynamic, temporal, and thoroughly interdependent process that cannot be properly understood from examination of the static, global dispositions of one of its members. To provide grounding for our analysis, we also discuss several specific implications of these concepts for the conduct of research seeking to understand personality in relationships.
