...University Journal of Experimental Psychology This article was mainly about eye witnesses and the many errors they make in recalling a situation or describing a culprit whether they are asked immediately or after a period of time. In this study, witnesses viewed a crime video and attempted to identify the culprit from a group line-up that did not actually have the culprit present. 253 mistaken-identification eyewitnesses were randomly given confirming, disconfirming, or no feedback regarding their description of the culprit or the culprit’s identification. The feedback process was either immediate or delayed for 48 hours, and measures were also immediate or delayed for 48 hours. It was shown that those who were given confirming feedback gave more distorted information. They had increased confidence in remembering what had happened, were able to make out facial details and their length of time to identify the culprit changed. There was also no difference in their statements when they were asked immediately or after 48 hours. Those who received disconfirming feedback were not so confident and took longer time to identify the culprit. The writers argue that the focus on identification itself, especially in court cases, does not factor in the influence that postidentification suggestions have on the testimony of the eyewitness that might later be given about the identification. They suggest that postidentification feedback from the lineup administrator has strong effects...

...In 1985, the first study was done to evaluate the effects of the police interview, cognitive interview and hypnosis on a witness’ testimony (Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, & Holland, 1985). The scholars discovered that the cognitive interview was the best technique at recovering accurate information (Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, & Holland, 1985). However, like the other interviewing techniques it does not decrease inaccurate information from the witness. (Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, & Holland, 1985). Another system variable involving the police would be the post identification feedback on the witness; it amplifies their confidence – which is not highly correlated to accuracy, and can lead to serious consequences (Bradfield, Wells & Olson, 2002). This helped give the criminal justice system the ability to assess their protocols to get rid of some system variables that effects eyewitness testimony...

It provides the overall direction to the management of the firm by covering the aspect of business objective. Strategy also helps in the developing of proper policies and plans which helps in achieving the goals by proper allocation of the resources. Mark and Spencer is the biggest retailer company operating in UK. They are the largest retailers of clothing, food and in many other varied areas. In the year 1998 their pre tax profit was more than 1 billion, but after few years they were hit by the credit crunch which had a great affect in their functioning and now in the present climate they are struggling (Hollender and Breen, 2010). So the study tries to understand the strategy which has been adopted by Mark and Spencer by applying various analytical models. Companies’ internal analysis has been done which emphasised...

The Argentinean Ministry of Labor (MLAB) convened the MC negotiation to settle an organizational conflict, regarding of opposing views about what preventive measures were adequate to cope the risks posed over the workers health by the 2009 global epidemic outbreak of swine influenza A(H1N1), that escalated out of the parties control. The contribution of our case study, on such specific type of labormanagement negotiation, is that it allows to gain a better understanding on how negotiators, confront the complexity of contextual circumstances and manage the process and, in addition, that it explores through the theoretical lens of the Turning Points (TP) framework -precipitants, departures and consequences- how they retrospectively judge that those essential elements interplayed along it. We consider that the KFTA case corroborates the aptitude of the TP framework for such kind of examination and that it allows to extract practical implications on how labor-management negotiations, although different from the international, can be managed in ways that may lead...

...Introduction People are social beings. Our acquaintances beget both benefits and consequences. Interpersonal conflict arising from supervisors, colleagues, and client interactions is a form of stress commonly found at work (Kuhns, 2008). Recently, increasing interest has sparked research towards abusive supervision and its negative consequences. Empirical research has found that abusive supervision leads to increased turnover, less favorable attitudes, increased conflict between relationships, and lower in-role and extra-role behaviors (Tepper, 2000). Abusive supervision is a “subordinate’s perception of the extent to which their supervisors engage in the sustained display of hostile verbal and nonverbal behaviors, excluding physical contact” (Tepper, 2000, p. 178). It is considered a form of counterproductive workplace behavior which is opposite to the organization’s interests (Hoobler & Brass, 2006). Abusive supervision is perceptual in nature and based on an individual’s subjective assessment (Tepper, 2001). That is, some individuals may view their supervisor’s behavior as abusive in one situation and non abusive in another. Furthermore, two subordinates may differ in their assessment of a common supervisor’s actions. When confronted with abusive supervisory behaviors, subordinates may be unwilling to admit that they have experienced abusive supervision by their supervisors, while others may exaggerate their supervisor’s hostility. Abusive supervision...

...Issues in Accounting Education Volume 27, No. 2, 2012 CASE: DEVIANCE AT RKGA LLP Rick Berry slouched over his desk in the audit room at Videonics, his largest year-end client. Busy season was always tough, but this year it seemed even tougher. Since being promoted to senior manager a year and a half ago, Rick felt like he was being even more heavily scrutinized by his partners—including Joe Trumbell, his mentor and long-time friend. While Joe and other partners remained generally complimentary of Rick’s work, they seemed particularly teed up over the work behavior of several staff members of the firm—including some who were on multiple jobs with Rick. When Joe approached Rick and told him that Rick’s proximity to the staffers involved made him the perfect guy to investigate this matter further, Rick accepted the assignment. That was four months ago. The clock on the wall behind him ticked closer to 11:00 p.m. and the faint hum of a vacuum cleaner could be heard down the hall. Rick really wished Joe had asked someone else to shoulder this burden but, unfortunately, he had not—and Rick knew he had a meeting with Joe tomorrow morning to update him on some of his work. He glanced at his notes, and rehashed conversations with firm members and clients during that period: a staffer with a penchant for surfing the web; another who appeared to somewhat regularly ‘‘disappear’’ for brief periods of time during the workday; two others who submitted reimbursement reports with personal...
