(Mis)estimation of the modal number of desired sexual partners. by Arthur G Shapiro, Rubie M Peters, Anthony H Ahrens

“…Study 2: When asked to estimate the shape of the whole distribution, participants underestimated the number of respondents who would desire the mode and thus replicated patterns in the literature for misestimations of skewed distributions. Study 3: When provided information about others' actual modal desired number of partners, the number of male participants who reported desiring one sexual partner increased, suggesting that misperceptions of social norms may influence preferences. …”

Examination Of Sport Managers' Self-Efficacy Status And Time Management by Ali Erdoğan, Erkan Faruk Şirin, Pınar Karacan Doğan, Ahmet Azmi Yetim

“…In the analysis of data, since the data and groups are not distributed homogeneously and the data is skewed to the left, non-parametric Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test techniques were used to determine the differences between the groups in the sub-dimensions of self-efficacy and time management, and Spearman Correlation Analysis technique was used in the relationship between Sport Managers' Self-Efficacy Scale and Time Management Scale. …”
