“…Rather than the culturally-mediated interaction perspective of cultural influence used to frame this study and formulate hypotheses, these results might be suggesting that mediated effects may be taking place within the technological environment of Facebook similar to the behaviour modification observed by Qiu, Lin and Leung (2012) and DeAndrea, Shaw and Levine (2010). However, as the results only compared privacy literacy across nations, evidence of cultural convergence consistent with expectations that a comprehensive global virtual community will emerge (i.e.…”

We examine the (dis)incentive effects created by the respective tax systems to invest in human capital in Atlantic Canada and compare this to a select group of provinces from the rest of Canada. While findings show a steady decline in effective tax rates through the years, thereby creating an incentive effect to invest in post-secondary education, disproportionately higher rate gap differentials in the Atlantic Provinces, on average, combined with negative comparative statics reveal a somewhat different undertone. The counterproductive nature of the competing policies effectively nullifies any status quo argument for education or tax policy in the Atlantic Provinces, when compared to their brethren. The graduate retention rebate provides some solace to the narrative in helping to alleviate early tax burdens and equalize returns, but is difficult to claim effectiveness in assuaging any monetary windfall associated with migration. IntroductionThe goal of this paper is to assess the (dis)incentive effects created by the provincial tax systems for human capital investment in Atlantic Canada. Our test subjects are university graduates, but we note that such methodology could be applied to any level or subset of the population that possess human capital deemed scarce and productive, in the economic sense. We do not purport to suggest that university graduates are more important in the economic well being of an economy than, say, skilled trades or college graduates, e.g., and encourage one to think of our case as a subset of a larger sample of possibilities. Our presumption, like our goal, is simple; namely, an empirical investigation of incentivizing the tax system in Atlantic Canada remains an unexplored possibility for strategic policy implementation to retain and recruit scarce resources in the market for human capital. We use the impact on effective tax rates (ETRs) and rates of return as our policy litmus test and explore by empirical and simulation analysis the unilateral exploitation of a select number of provincial tax systems. Some may claim that this work puts the * Collins would like to acknowledge the support of the CRS-SSHRC institutional research grant at St. Francis Xavier University in helping to complete this research.proverbial cart before the horse, as it were, since to attract workers a province needs the requisite infrastructure and such may not be currently present at the appropriate level(s) to warrant an increase in the supply of skilled labour. To that end, we suggest that a more accurate assessment (or, at least, a plausible alternative) might be akin to a "chicken or the egg" argument; namely, which comes first? We leave this debate up to the interested reader for now, and focus on establishing the empirics of the analysis in an effort to add the requisite fodder for a more informed discussion.While previous research has examined the disincentive effects created by the tax system for, e.g., university and college graduates (see, for instance, Burbidge et al., 2012), the current study is diff...

“…Jedan od obrazaca koji se uočava, kada su u pitanju mere verbalne produkcije koje koreliraju sa eksplicitnim stavom u situaciju sa direktnom instrukcijom, je da osobe koje imaju eksplicitno pozitivniji stav prema homoseksualnosti učestalije upotrebljavaju nelične zamenice (svi, neko, niko), a ređe koriste ličene zamenice, posebno zamenice u prvom licu jednine (ja, mene, moj), što ukazuje na niži stepen internalizacije onoga što je u tekstu saopšeno (DeAndrea, Shaw, & Levine, 2010). Sa druge strane, implicitna mera stava prema homoseksualnosti povezana je sa kognitivnim aspektima verbalne produkcije, odnosno sa dimenzijama koje zasićuju učestalost upotrebe reči iz kategorija koje markiraju kognitivne procese.…”

Veliki broj istraživanja pokazuje da eksplicitni i implicitni stavovi determinišu ponašanje. Verbalna produkcija, kao bihejvioralna manifestacija unutrašnjeg sveta osobe prema savremenim psiholingvističkim teorijama predstavlja, kako nameran, tako i automatski proces. Cilj ovog istraživanja bilo je ispitivanje odnosa između različitih mera verbalnog ponašanja u vezi sa homoseksualnošću, sa jedne, i implicitnih i eksplicitnih mera stava prema homoseksualnosti sa druge strane. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 105 ispitanika. Kao mere stava korišćeni su Test homofobije (H25) i Test Implicitnih Asocijacija, dok su mere verbalne produkcije ekstrahovane iz dve eksperimentalne situacije korišćenjem programa za automatsku analizu teksta LIWCser. U prvoj eksperimentalnoj situaciji ispitanici su indirektno usmeravani na stavski objekat (homoseksualnost), dok su u drugoj situaciji instruisani da direktno govore o stavskom objektu. Rezultati su pokazali umerenu povezanost između eksplicitnih i implicitnih mera stava, kao i relativno nisku do umerenu povezanost ovih mera sa pojedinačnim merama verbalne produkcije. Dodatno, pokazalo se da u osnovi verbalne produkcije stoje implicitni i eksplicitni procesi i to da su spontani aspekti verbalne produkcije pre svega vođeni implicitnim procesima, dok namerni aspekti verbalne produkcije predstavljaju manifestaciju eksplicitnih stavova. Dobijeni rezultati u skladu su sa postojećim modelima odnosa implicitnih i eksplicitnih mera stavova i ponašanja, kao i savremenim psiholingvističkim teorijama.

“…Stylistically, conversations in status updates are found to be less public but more casual, concise, multi-dimensional, and emotional than traditional blogs (e.g., Carr, Schrock, & Dauterman, 2012). They keep "friendship" on Facebook alive by motivating internal prompt discussions (Morris et al, 2010), opinion exchanges, information-seeking (Jansen et al, 2009), gossip-reading (Debatin et al, 2009), and tracking of past activities (DeAndrea et al, 2010). The diversity suggests why chitchat is likely to occur in status updates than in other means of computer-mediated workplace communication, such as emailing and instant messaging.…”

Socialization into the Workplace: A Newcomer’s Chitchat with Colleagues on Facebook Status Updates

This qualitative study examines how workplace socialization can be addressed through a newcomer's linguistic practice in chitchat on Facebook status updates. Based on Wenger's (1998) framework of Communities of Practice and Gee's (2011) model of discourse analysis, it investigates over 60 status updates made by a new employee and his colleagues spread over five months. Results suggest that the newcomer chitchats with his colleagues in three arbitrary manners, and that he irregularly moves back and forth to the integrated membership. Sometimes he highlights the newcomer status through chitchat, while in other times he behaves like a core member in the community. However, the majority of his practice fall into a relatively moderate range between the new and the integral. Behind his participation in chitchat is the characteristic psyche and behavior during socialization into the workplace. A model of language and communication in workplace socialization is further suggested upon an in-depth elaboration on the data analysis. It is concluded that chitchatting in status updates can function as the gateway to understand workplace socialization. More studies are needed to explore how workplace socialization can be addressed through other speech events in computer-mediated environments.
