“…Further evidence showing the importance of continuity comes from clinical populations who experience discontinuity. Clinical research shows that perceived disconnection between the past and present is associated with negative affect, anxiety, alienation, depression, and even suicide (e.g., Bluck & Alea, 2008; Chandler & Proulx, 2008; Lampinen, Odegard, & Leding, 2004; Pennebaker, 2003). Not surprisingly, therefore, people are motivated to achieve and maintain a sense that their past and present are connected, and one way to achieve that is by maintaining a sense of belonging to “old” groups and social networks when encountering life-changing events.…”

Purpose: Over and above the risks associated with ageing, older migrants are also at risk of social isolation. The social identity approach, and the Social Identity Model of Identity Change (SIMIC) in particular, provides a theoretical basis from which to understand the factors contributing to social isolation and how this then impacts on older migrants’ capacity to age well in a foreign land. Building on the recognition that migration involves a major life change, we explore this transition qualitatively focusing specifically on social connectedness and adjustment. Methods: In semi-structured interviews with 29 older migrants in Australia, we examined participants’ experiences of migration and perceptions of identity and identity change. We also considered in more detail experiences of the most and least socially isolated individuals to understand adjustment trajectories. Results: We found evidence supporting the key processes described in SIMIC (relating to social identity continuity, social identity gain, and perceived identity compatibility), suggesting that where adjustment was positive it was experienced as a process of successfully adapting to identity change. Conclusion: We emphasise the importance of identity resources as substantial and concrete assets that can enhance the well-being among older adults aging in a foreign land.

“…in each text statement. The software has made a great contribution in scoring motives without subjectivity (Pennebaker, 1997;Pennebaker, Mayne, & Francis, 1997;Pennebaker, 2002Pennebaker, , 2003Sharp & Hargrove, 2004;Campbell & Pennebaker, 2003;Guastella & Dadds, 2006;Lieberman, 2008, Sharp & Hargrove, 2004Lepore & Smyth, 2002). The internal consistency of the 3 motives measured by corrected alpha for affiliation, achievement, and power are .80, .81, and .76, respectively.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of leadership styles on financial performance. Although the importance of leadership styles has been recognized in practice and academia, little research has focused on the impact of leadership on financial performance in hospitality and tourism industry. Design -The paper first defines motives, leadership styles, leaders' experiences, and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC). It then uses quasi-experimental design to predict the impacts of leadership styles and leaders' experiences on financial performance. Methodology -The study has conducted partial least square regression to find the effects of leadership styles and leaders' experiences on financial performance of the hotel companies. Approach -Vision statements of the publicly traded hotel companies are transferred into motives and leadership styles using the LIWC. Findings -Transformational leadership and longer-tenured CEOs with high power and affiliation motives are associated with return on equity (ROE) whereas transactional leadership and older CEOs with high achievement motive affect return on assets (ROA). Originality of the research -The study opens a new approach to quantify the vision statements using LIWC and contributes to the relationship of leadership styles, leaders' experiences, and financial performance.

“…In early attempts to support corpus analysis efforts with automatic text analysis technology, health communication researchers have augmented hand-coding with automated content analysis techniques, primarily using dictionary-based methods, the most popular of which is Pennebaker's Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) (Pennebaker 2003). In this approach, collections of words are organized into scales that are supposed to indicate specific mental states such as negative emotion or confidence.…”

“…LIWC indicators that are designed to measure latent characteristics of authors such as emotional or psychological state based on vocabulary usage are reported to have been successfully calibrated with a wide range of behaviors over multiple types of studies (e.g., Pennebaker 2003). Nevertheless, they have limitations that must be taken into account methodologically.…”

In this article we describe the emerging area of text classification research focused on the problem of collaborative learning process analysis both from a broad perspective and more specifically in terms of a publicly available tool set called TagHelper tools. Analyzing the variety of pedagogically valuable facets of learners' interactions is a time consuming and effortful process. Improving automated analyses of such highly valued processes of collaborative learning by adapting and applying recent text classification technologies would make it a less arduous task to obtain insights from corpus data. This endeavor also holds the potential for enabling substantially improved on-line instruction both by providing teachers and facilitators with reports about the groups they are moderating and by triggering context sensitive collaborative learning support on an as-needed basis. In this article, we report on an interdisciplinary research project, which has been investigating the effectiveness of applying text classification technology to a large CSCL corpus that has been analyzed by human coders using a theory-based multidimensional coding scheme. We report promising results and include an in-depth discussion of important issues such as reliability, validity, and efficiency that should be considered when deciding on the appropriateness of adopting a new technology such as TagHelper tools. One major technical contribution of this work is a demonstration that an important piece of the work towards making text classification technology effective for this purpose is designing and building linguistic pattern detectors, otherwise known as features, that can be extracted reliably from texts and that have high predictive power for the categories of discourse actions that the CSCL community is interested in.
