Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether self-monitoring of performance is altered during 60Â h of total sleep deprivation, following 2Â nights of recovery sleep, and by task difficulty and/or subjective sleepiness. Forty adults (22 females, aged 19-39Â years) underwent a 5-day protocol, with a well-rested day, 66Â h total sleep deprivation (last test ses...

Evidence Supporting Use of a Novel Descriptive Tool for Intraoperative Feedback
In the high-stakes teaching environment of the operating room, surgeons must provide meaningful assessments. We developed an evidence-based descriptive feedback tool, TAASE (Technician, Anatomist, Anticipator, Strategist, Executive), based on operative developmental trajectory. Here, we compare TAASE to assessment based on the Operative Performance Rating System (OPRS) recommended by the American Board of Surgery. (Source: Journal of the American College of Surgeons)

Using GoPro to Give Video-Assisted Operative Feedback for Surgery Residents: A Feasibility and Utility Assessment
As an adjunct to simulation-based teaching, laparoscopic video-based surgical coaching has been an effective tool to augment surgical education. However, the wide use of video review in open surgery has been limited primarily due to technological and logistical challenges. The aims of our study were to (1) evaluate perceptions of general surgery (GS) residents on video-assisted operative instruction and (2) conduct a pilot study using a head-mounted GoPro in conjunction with the operative performance rating system to assess feasibility of providing video review to enhance operative feedback during open procedures.

Approaches to team performance assessment: a comparison of self-assessment reports and behavioral observer scales
In this study, we examined behavioral observer ratings and self-assessment ratings for measuring team performance in virtual teams, with team performance regarded as a combination of task outcome and team cognition. Juxtaposing self-assessments and observer ratings from a quasi-experiment comparing team performance rating techniques reveals that they indeed produce overall similar results, with both singling out teamwork effectiveness ratings as the strongest contributor to overall team performance. However, the comparisons show remarkably low correlation on individual questionnaire items. The most striking difference is t...

The relationship of emotional intelligence with task and contextual performance: More than it meets the linear eye
Publication date: 1 October 2017 Source:Personality and Individual Differences, Volume 116 Author(s): Nikos Bozionelos, Sanjay Kumar Singh The relationship of emotional intelligence (EI) with job performance was investigated in 188 individuals working as expatriates. Job performance was considered in terms of task and contextual performance - helping (OCB-H) and voice (OCB-V) organizational citizenship behaviours - and was assessed by line managers. In line with expectations, most identified relationships were of quadratic U-shaped form. Specifically, all three relationships of the global EI construct, and eight out of...

Social anxiety is characterized by biased learning about performance and the self.
People learn about their self from social information, and recent work suggests that healthy adults show a positive bias for learning self-related information. In contrast, social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by a negative view of the self, yet what causes and maintains this negative self-view is not well understood. Here the authors use a novel experimental paradigm and computational model to test the hypothesis that biased social learning regarding self-evaluation and self-feelings represents a core feature that distinguishes adults with SAD from healthy controls. Twenty-one adults with SAD and 35 healthy cont...

Nursing home report card and performance gap
Background: With the aging of our society, concerns about the quality of nursing homes have been increasing. The Nursing Home Compare (NHC) report card is believed to reduce information asymmetry between the facility and potential residents and, consequently, improve nursing home quality. However, there is limited evidence about how nursing homes use this publicly disseminated performance information.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the performance gap between nursing home administrators’ self-assessment and the NHC report card performance ratings and explore the factors contributing to the gap.
Methodolo...

Do Resident's Leadership Skills Relate to Ratings of Technical Skill?
This study sought to compare general surgery research residents ’ survey information regarding self-efficacy ratings to their observed performance during a simulated small bowel repair. Their observed performance ratings were based on their leadership skills in directing their assistant. (Source: Journal of Surgical Research)

Effects of item type and estimation method on the accuracy of estimated personality trait scores: Polytomous item response theory models versus summated scoring
In this study personality scale validity was compared using a variety of estimation methods (CTT, adjusted-CTT, SGR, GGUM) and item types (monotonic vs. non-monotonic) for the traits of conscientiousness and extraversion. Regardless of item type or estimation method, trait estimates were highly correlated. Using job performance ratings as an external criterion within the nomological network of these traits, model fit was not related to scale validity, and all estimation procedures resulted in comparable validity coefficients. Implications are discussed. (Source: Personality and Individual Differences)
