Two experiments examined the extent to which individual differences in collective identity orientation moderate perceptions of the United States following national success and failure. Participants classified as low or high on both personal and collective identity orientations read fictitious news stories desaibing actions by the United States in response to emergencies. For each story, the United States was portrayed as responding effectively (successful outcome) or failing to act quickly and efficiently (failure outcome). In Experiment 1, among subjects low in personal identity orientation, those high in collective identity orientation rated the United States more favorably following national failure than subjects low in collective identity. In Experiment 2, sujects' beliefs about whether their responses would be private or public were also manipulated. The results replicated Experiment 1, but no effects of the publicity of subjects' responses were obtained, suggesting that the results reflect self-esteem maintenance rather than self presentational motivations.
Divisibility tests have always fascinated people. My project shows tricks of how you can tell if really large numbers can be divisible by smaller numbers. Modular arithmetic is utilized to find and analyze divisibility tests. Three methods (Ending Digits Test, Sum of Digits Test, and Alternating Sum of Digits Test) in which you can test divisibility of a number (a) by a number (d) and proofs are presented in this poster.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
