Effect of Distance on Heterochromatic Matching

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
The brightness of colors in a number of paintings by Francis Pratt appeared to vary as a function of the viewing distance. These pictures were composed of narrow strips of different colors varying in brightness and saturation. Five experiments were undertaken to replicate and study this effect under controlled conditions using heterochromatic ...

Effects of Distance on Vocal Intensity

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1995
The vocal response of speakers to change of distance from a listener is in dispute. Warren (1968) found that speakers obeyed the inverse square law when compensating for distance changes; that is, they decreased their vocal intensity by 6 dB when distance was halved.

Effects of psychological distance on attraction effect

The Journal of Social Psychology, 2018
The present study demonstrated that psychological distance influences the attraction effect by changing the weights of the attributes of options. Construal level theory proposes that the weight of a superordinate attribute increases with psychological distance, whereas the weight of a subordinate attribute decreases with psychological distance.

Are Distance Effects Really a Puzzle

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
In this paper, I use gravity equation with all the possible controls and a large bilateral panel data over 50 years and more than175 countries to estimate the distance effect from 1950 to 1999. An extensive search reveals some new results: different from previous finding that distance effects rose around the middle of the 20th century, distances ...

Boundary Distance Effects on Overshooting

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1976
Experiments with a subject-paced pursuit tracking task show that overshoot rate is dependent upon the distance between the target and the display boundary measured in the direction of movement, and that a previously noted inverse relationship with distance to the target is artifactual.

Interpreting the Effect of Distance on Migration

Journal of Political Economy, 1973
In this paper I discuss the economic (and other) determinants of the adverse effect of distance on migration, which is demonstrated by the negative distance elasticity of migration flows. These determinants are sorted and classified into two groups: (1) increasing (with distance) psychic cost and (2) diminishing (with distance) information.

Effective Mentoring at a Distance

2005
Abstract Given the exigencies of learning at a distance, to what extent can faculty and students develop mentoring relationships that support students’ academic progress? In a collaborative study, students, alumnae, and faculty at the School of Educational Leadership and Change at Fielding Graduate University interviewed their ...

On the exponential distance effect

Transportation Research, 1976
An alternative derivation of the formula for the exponential distance effect is described, giving a reasonable approximation to the distribution of residence to work trips. The attraction of a particular residence is assumed to be a random variable with a normal distribution.

Future events are far away: Exploring the distance-on-distance effect.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2014
Four dimensions of psychological distance (temporal, social, spatial, and probabilistic) have been widely studied. This research examines the distance-on-distance effect where an event that is close or distal along one dimension of psychological distance will be judged to be close or distal along other dimensions. For example, individuals will perceive

The Distance Effect in Focus of Attention: Spatial or Temporal Distance?

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
Purpose: The benefit of an external focus over an internal focus has been well-established. Within this literature, several studies have documented a distal effect of attentional focus by comparing the efficacy of a proximal and distal external focus.
