Value Oriented Thinking Style Impact on Personal Documents Digital Archiving

Authors:
  • National Library and Archive of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationship between thinking styles with value orientation and the way that individuals archive their personal digital documents. Method and Research Design: This is an applied research in terms of its aim, and descriptive-correlative in terms of its nature. Data was collected by circulating one researcher-constructed questionnaire form identifying respondents’ personal digital archiving preferences, and another form, a standard questionnaire for assessing thinking styles. Formal validity of the first questionnaire was confirmed by experts. Its structural validity was verified by conformity factor analysis. The statistical population consisted of 324 faculty members of the University of Birjand (Iran), out of which 176 were selected randomly using the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table. Findings and Conclusion: Thinking styles in predicting value and emotional orientations of individuals with regard to sharing and archiving digital documents are not meaningful. Legislative, executive, autocratic styles can be predictive in deciding the historical valuing of the record. Legislative, executive, and introspective thinking styles also can predict the orientation for valuing personal legacy.

Abstract:
Purpose: To examine the relationship between thinking styles with value orientation
and the way that individuals archive their personal digital documents.
Method and Research Design: is is an applied research in terms of its aim, and
descriptive-correlative in terms of its nature. Data was collected by circulating one
researcher-constructed questionnaire form identifying respondents’ personal digital ar-
chiving preferences, and another form, a standard questionnaire for assessing thinking
styles. Formal validity of the rst questionnaire was conrmed by experts. Its structural
validity was veried by conformity factor analysis. e statistical population consisted
of 324 faculty members of the University of Birjand (Iran), out of which 176 were se-
lected randomly using the Krejcie and Morgan sampling table.
Findings and Conclusion: inking styles in predicting value and emotional orienta-
tions of individuals with regard to sharing and archiving digital documents are not
meaningful. Legislative, executive, autocratic styles can be predictive in deciding the
historical valuing of the record. Legislative, executive, and introspective thinking styles
also can predict the orientation for valuing personal legacy.

The present study examined the relationships between thinking styles and achievement motivation among Chinese university students. The Thinking Styles Inventory — Revised (TSI-R; Sternberg, Wagner, & Zhang, 2003) and the Achievement Motives Scale (AMS; Gjesme & Nygard, 1970; Ye & Hagtvet, 1988) were administered to 238 Chinese university students from Shanghai, the People's Republic of China. Results largely supported the hypothesis that the more creativity-generating and complex thinking styles (Type I styles) were positively correlated with achievement motivation to approach success (MS), and negatively correlated with achievement motivation to avoid failure (MF). Results partially supported the hypothesis that the more norm-favoring and simplistic thinking styles (Type II styles) had negative correlation with MS, and positive correlation with MF. The study also found that the situation-/task-dependent thinking styles (Type III styles) were positively correlated with MS, and negatively correlated with MF. Implications for educational practice were discussed.

The personal archive is not only about efficient storage and retrieval of information. This paper describes a study of forty-eight academics and the techniques and tools they use to manage their digital and material archiving of papers, emails, documents, internet bookmarks, correspondence, and other artifacts. We present two sets of results: we first discuss rationales behind subjects' archiving, which go beyond information retrieval to include creating a legacy, sharing resources, confronting fears and anxieties, and identity construction. We then show how these rationales were mapped into our subjects' physical, social and electronic spaces, and discuss implications for development of digital tools that allow for personal archiving.

provide the reader with a background in the literature on [thinking] style research and . . . discuss more recent developments in this area / focuses primarily on a hypothesis of thinking styles called "the theory of mental self-government" the 1st part consists of a review of a variety of theories of styles, followed in the 2nd part by a more detailed discussion of the theory of mental self-government / explore the different aspects of styles emphasized in different areas of psychology / focus on the relation between styles and cognition [cognition-centered approach] / refer back to the pioneer approaches to styles in cognitive psychology as well as to more recent developments / personality psychologists study styles in relation to other individual personality characteristics; we refer to this approach as the "personality-centered approach" / discuss [the] "activity-centered" approach, which focuses on styles in relation to various activities, settings, and environments / this approach is primarily found in educational settings and includes theories of learning and teaching skills present the theory of mental self-government (R. Sternberg, 1988) / Sternberg's theory acts as a wide-angle lens as it combines the thinking of the cognition-centered, personality-centered, and activity-centered traditions / analyze 3 major conceptualizations of cognitive styles / field dependence-independence / cognitive styles in categorization behavior / reflection-impulsivity (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
