Christian Abitan Can we improve the way we listen to others when sharing about their sufferings? How? Any bibliographical reference on the topic? Roos Huberts Can you include two mediators in process model 5? Hello all, I am conducting research on the effects of podcast ads on listeners' attitudes toward the brand and toward the advertisement. I use two mediators (not serial): credibility host and credibility ad and one moderator: parasocial relationship. I thought I could use PROCESS MODEL 5 twice for this (once for attitude toward the brand and once for attitude toward the ad): For example first run:
Now someone says I can't use two mediators in process 5. Can anyone tell me if this is true? Mahmoud Moghavvemi Why is it that some people listen to politicians more than the expert scientists and their own good common sense in dealing with COVID-19? After eight months in the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of infections, there are some that still think this is a conspiracy and go against the advice of the expert in the field just because their leader said so!. How can a literate society become so polarized and influence to such a degree that fail to see the obvious? Is it the lack of transparency, mistrust, or lack of correct information? Can such a society be healed? How would you rebuild trust? Mi Tauro MSc student seeking guidance to conduct a systematic review. Anyone able to offer guidance? Dear Doctors and PhD students in neuroscience and related subjects, I am an MSc student -Applied Neuroscience online MSc programme at KCL-. I have just started working on a systematic review on craniopharyngipma. As this tumor type is extremely rare studies related are fairly limited. So, I have been able to begin screening studies independently. Now that I started using Covidence I would like begin cooperating with more experienced individuals who would be interested in regularly checking my progress. Pointing me in the right direction would certainly be enough. Of course hierarchy we will be respected at all times, especially in case this project evolves into something that could be of interest to experts in the field ir of publishable quality. I have identified two main gaps in this research, one quantitative and one qualitative. Starting with the qualitative gap would help me proceeding faster I suppose But, I am certainly keen to listen to more experienced advice. I will certainly provide further information about everything to whomever wishes to guide me through this process. Thanks in advance for your time. Kind regards, M Tauro Nam Nam I'm studying the relationship between Reading skill and 3 other skill (Listening, Writing, Speaking), but what method mesure it precisely ? Reading is essential tool for learning language. It seems to be a collaboration between 4 skill (Read, Write, Listen, Speaking). But one affect other in varible way. A person can read but can't write, can speak well but can't hear at the same level of other skill. It is easy to see the reason behind it but i don't know exactly how to mesure the different level between Read and 3 other skill. Is there a method to transcend this affection to data ? Robert J Trager Know of any podcasts to help early career researchers? I have enjoyed listening to podcasts to learn about scientific communication, research methodology, peer review, open access, preprints, scientometrics, and other topics. I am interested if anyone has a podcast they like that discusses any of these topics. Here are some that I have listened to so far: The Scholarly Kitchen Podcast InformED (ISMPP) Everything Hertz Science Communication Journal Club Podcast Thank you, Rob Kjartan Skogly Kversøy What awakens your interest and makes you pay attention when you are listening to a lecture? I am very interested to hear what awakens your interest and makes you pay attention when you are attending a lecture? Do you think that this is any different than what triggers your students? Ashley Anderson How do experts teach concepts they know TOO well? Listening to Richard Feynman's 1985 book "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" it became quite clear the number of instances he understood things easily that his colleagues and other very respected scientists could not, was so overwhelming it even baffled him. He stated it's as if people don't know what they know and their method for understanding seems rote. Failure before success gives people the advantage of understanding things better. But if you're born great, you don't really have to think too hard, it just makes sense. My question is, how can someone like Feyman explain or teach concepts when it's difficult to imagine not knowing? Tunde Paul Aderoju What are the psychological reasons why receiving call while driving causes accidents but listening to music and discussion inside the car do not? It has been established through researches that accidents do frequently occur when taking calls in driving. The accidents rate occurrence is low while the driver is listening to music or getting engage in discussion while driving. Qiwei Xiao What is the best network of doing medical image classification? I am starting a new project using the Machine Learning technique to do medical image classification. As a beginner in the Machine Learning field, I am happy to listen to all aspects of opinions and suggestions. Thanks for your interest in this topic. Dariusz Prokopowicz Why, despite many years of listening to radio waves from space, no other civilizations of intelligent beings have been discovered in space? Why in spite of the many years of listening to radio waves emitted from various parts of the cosmos, did not there appear such, which would mean the possibility of existence in another cosmos of intelligent creatures? For several dozen years, various astronomical programs have been running radio-frequency listening programs of various emission ranges to diagnose those that could be a testimony that somewhere in another constellation there is or has existed the civilization of other intelligent beings. However, up to now, it has not been possible to diagnose such waves that could confirm the existence of other intelligent beings in the cosmos and thus other, developed forms of life. Why has not it worked so far? Why in spite of the many years of listening to radio waves emitted from various parts of the cosmos, did not there appear such, which would mean the possibility of existence in another cosmos of intelligent creatures? Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion. Bibin Thomas Hi there, I would like to gain some insight on "Leadership Development- Engagement and listening in Online Settings"? How can leaders ( Not Managers but every Manager would have leadership qualities) could actively engage and listen in today's virtual setting due to the current situation. Do any of you know of relevant research papers on the same since research work on virtual leaders is very less along with the attributes of actively listening and engaging. It would be great to receive your insights and some idea on a research gap. Mary C R Wilson What do you listen to as background sound? I listen to music and it is very rare for me not to have some background music when I am busy (unless I am concentrating on something that takes my whole attention). But some people listen to non-music programs on the radio, for example, or have the television on in the background. What do you favour? Richard J. Ruhala What is the best Headphone for Acoustic research for speech intelligibility? I am spending research funds for a listening study for speech intelligibility under different acoustical and noise conditions. I have equipment for binaural recordings, but need a recommendation for what brand and make of Headphones and headphone amplifier. Must be high quality (flat frequency response, low distortion) but it is Not intended for listening to music. Listening will be done in a quiet room so Noise Cancellation may not be needed, and may disable it if there because of distortion. Over-the-ear headphone style. I have heard that Sennheiser is the best brand handphone. One in particular is the Sennheiser 800S Headphones ($1700) and HDV 820 Headphone Amplifier ($2400). (If that is the best i may need a lower price solution due to budget.) Fatima Karibayeva How do you think can we use TED Talks application as an extensive listening material? The purpose of extensive listening is to develop listening fluency, which is supposed to navigate learners to progress routine procedure of the certain language while it is done correctly. It is very an important point to choose listening activities according to the learners needs and levels Jouhaina Ouachtati Which and How to use teaching strategies and procedures to effectively integrate the four skills while teaching English Language Online? As an inexperienced teacher in the field of online teaching, I have the fear of unconsciously ignoring one of the skills while focusing on not ignoring the other! Therefore, I wish to make use of your experiences with distance learning/teaching in the field of integrating the four skills-listening, speaking, reading, and writing- in the language course. Note: the context of teaching is Algeria, hence, some limitations exist concerning the availability of internet and computers. Daniel Pires Online solution for listeners to ortographically transcribe sentences? Hi! I'm looking for an online platform/solution that allows me to create a form where the respondents can listen to audio files and then type what they have heard right below the audio file. Preferably, I'd be able to export all the answers to an Excel file. I tried JotForms, but the only audio files I could insert were SoundCloud links, which is not good at all as they have to be public to work. This is for my thesis, which investigates the effects of an ASR-based application on the intelligibility of Brazilian speakers of English. Thank you! I hope I didn't miss an easy/obvious solution for my problem. Shashi Shekhar Can a person improve his speaking skills in a language with peers of same level of expertise in language? If a person who is good in reading, writing and listening to a language but has not much practice of speaking, can he improve by practising speaking with people of the same level? Wayne Lawrence In what languages can 'hear/listen' also mean 'be effective'? In both Japanese and Korean, the verbs meaning 'hear/listen' is homophonous with the verb meaning 'be effective/work' as in 'The medicine works' or (having castigated someone) 'That worked'. Because this same situation obtains in two (not closely related) languages, I assume that there must be some semantic linkage between these two semantic notions, and I would therefore expect to see the two notions being represented by the same word in some other languages. Do you know of any other languages where the word for 'hear/listen' also means 'be effective'? Jood Aldhfyan How can I run a repeated measures regression? I'm doing a research in linguistics. the study is on synthetic speech rate, the participants (30) listened to the speech rate at 4 levels (sentences in normal rate, then accelerated at 10%, then 20%,then 30%) each level had 5 recordings which the participants had to evaluate it's speed at 7 point Likert scale. the aim of the study is to find out if individuals perceive the normal speech rate as slow or not? also what speed rate would they perceive as the "most normal"? I figured it's a repeated measures since the same participant will listen to all 4 speeds "levels?" of the stimuli. but I couldn't figure out how to run it or how to organize the data in SPSS please find attached the SPSS file Viviane de Moraes Abrahão How difficult is it for blind people to read Braille while listening? I am writing a paper about Blindness and Second Language Assessment, and I need some literature about the difficulty (or not) that visually impaired people have when listening to an audio track while reading the exercise about it in Braille. Any research about it is welcomed, not only in Second Language. Thanks! Kalidass Jayaraman Confusion on selecting chinese option. Could you help me out? For 1st question, I am pursuing a Ph.D. program and have completed a Master's degree as the highest degree. For 2nd question, I can listen, speak, and write the English language.

I am looking for an effective social listening tool apart from Brandwatch, Tweetdeck and Social Bakers. Not so expensive and reliable are the two things I am looking for from the suggested platform. Mark Zanger What is the evidence base for popular psychology interventions? Huge and vague inquiry from a non-professional active in mental health social work: I have read that there is not much evidence for the value of "I-messages." This leads me to ask about a lot of things I use: -mindfulness in trauma reactions- -reflective listening/validation-response -challenging questions to people [in therapy, although I am not a therapist] -I-statements/I messages -Broken-record technique to avoid arguments -Application of motivational interviewing to misinformation, e.g. "I don't want to have therapy because only crazy people need therapy." -very simple screening questions -scaling questions -miracle questions Reda Elmabruk What is your favourite English news channel? What's good about it? I guess most of us non-native speakers of English like to follow some sort of TV channel broadcasting in English (for me when having dinner). Do you have a favourite one? through what medium? and what makes it your favourite? Tahreer Kazaal What is the definition of a base point and what are its uses? |
