Investigating state-trait distinction in scales of resilience: Application of generalisability theory
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Psychological resilience has been linked to a range of positive psychological outcomes, notably as a protective factor against the harmful effects of stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Resilience is also a ... -
Investigating Strategies to Support Reverse-Engineering of Interactive Systems
(University of Waikato, 2013)Most software applications today provide a graphical user interface (GUI), which facilitates the use of the software by offering graphical and visual elements to the users. The correctness of the user interface is fundamental ... -
Investigating stratigraphic evidence for Antarctic glaciation in the greenhouse world of the Paleocene, eastern North Island, New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2011)Early Paleogene (Paleocene-Eocene) climate was significantly warmer than today, with the poles generally considered to have been free of ice. These greenhouse conditions ended in the earliest Oligocene when the formation ... -
Investigating subantarctic ¹⁴C ages of different peat components: site and sample selection for developing robust age models in dynamic landscapes
(University of Arizona, 2019)Precise radiocarbon (¹⁴C) dating of sedimentary sequences is important for developing robust chronologies of environmental change, but sampling of suitable components can be challenging in highly dynamic landscapes. Here ... -
Investigating the alignment between coaches’ ideological beliefs and academy philosophy in professional youth football
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2020)The impacts of professional sporting culture and institutional discourse on coaching practices and ideologies have largely been unconsidered and undiscussed. Understanding coaching practice from a social perspective can ... -
Investigating the Anti-inflammatory Activity of Honey
(University of Waikato, 2012)Honey has various bioactivities with health-benefiting properties. It has been registered for use in wound dressings but before it can be registered with regulatory authorities for sale with claims for therapeutic actions ... -
Investigating the anti-methanogenic properties of select species of seaweed in New Zealand.
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Enteric methane emissions from ruminants constitute a large proportion of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in New Zealand. The recent increase in enteric methane emissions has driven the development of ... -
Investigating the Biodiversity of Microbial Communities in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: An Inter-Valley Comparison Study.
(The University of Waikato, 2009)Extreme environments provide a unique source of often highly adapted and tolerant organisms. Research on organisms in these habitats has led to the discovery of novel and useful compounds and may assist in understanding ... -
Investigating the characteristics of stated preferences for reducing the impacts of air pollution: A contingent valuation experiment
(Department of Economics, 2006-05)This paper investigates the nature of stated preferences for reducing air pollution impacts. Specifically a contingent valuation (CV) experiment is designed to elicit individuals’ values for reducing these impacts and to ... -
Investigating the contextual requirements of the Juster Scale
(The Australian Market and Social Research Society Ltd, 2006)Researchers have employed the Juster Scale to collect purchase probability data with notable success. Reviewing the Juster Scale studies, however, has revealed that there is considerable variation in its per¬formance. Some ... -
Investigating the dynamics of a population of spiking neurons across spatial scales
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Mean-field models describe bulk neural activity in terms of population-average action potential (spike) rates, but do not attempt to address the variations in the firing activity of individual neurons and the interactions ... -
Investigating the effectiveness of an analogy activity in improving students’ conceptual change for solution chemistry concepts
(Springer, 2009)This paper reports on an investigation on the use of an analogy activity and seeks to provide evidence of whether the activity enables students to change alternative conceptions towards views more in accord with scientific ... -
Investigating the effectiveness of teaching methods based on a four-step constructivist strategy
(Springer, 2010)This paper reports on an investigation of the effectiveness an intervention using several different methods for teaching solution chemistry. The teaching strategy comprised a four-step approach derived from a constructivist ... -
Investigating the effects of an ACT-based mobile application on stress, anxiety, and burnout in the workplace
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a third-generation therapy that teaches individuals to accept their internal thoughts and feelings instead of modifying or challenging them. The main aim of ACT is to encourage ... -
Investigating the effects of an online ACT program on psychological flexibility, stress, and burnout rates among teachers
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Teacher stress and burnout is a growing concern, which has been globally associated with high attrition rates and student outcomes. Research over the last few decades has sought to understand organisational and personal ... -
Investigating the effects of perceived student gender on primary school teachers' recognition of autism
(Wiley, 2022)Recent research indicates that autism is under-recognized in girls and women. The current study investigated whether the gender-based assumptions of teaching staff impact the identification of autism. A survey was completed ... -

Investigating the impact of Tourism on forest cover in the Annapurna conservation area through Remote Sensing and Statistical Analysis
(University of Waikato, 2013)Tourism is Nepal’s largest industry giving people in rural areas an alternative to subsistence farming. Tourism can have an impact on the forest cover of a region as trees provide firewood for cooking and heating and timber ... -
Investigating the interhemispheric ¹⁴C offset in the 1st millennium AD and assessment of laboratory bias and calibration errors
(Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona, 2009)Past measurements of the radiocarbon interhemispheric offset have been restricted to relatively young samples because of a lack of older dendrochronologically secure Southern Hemisphere tree-ring chronologies. The Southern ...
