Cognitive Structuring and Its Cognitive-Motivational Determinants as an Explanatory Framework of the Fear-Then-Relief Social Influence Strategy
2017
According to the fear-then-relief technique of social influence, people who experience anxiety whose source is abruptly withdrawn usually respond positively to various requests and commands addressed to them. This effect is usually explained by the fact that fear invokes a specific program of action, and that when the source of this emotion is suddenly and unexpectedly removed, the program is no longer operative, but the person has not yet invoked a new program. This specific state of disorientation makes compliance more likely. In this paper, an alternative explanation of the fear-then-relief effect is offered. It is assumed that the rapid change of emotions is associated with feelings of …
CAMPANIAN WINE FOR PUNIC SICILY: PETROGRAPHIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES OF GRAECO-ITALIC AMPHORAE FROM PALERMO
2018
This contribution proposes a combination of archaeological fabric analysis and petrographic research applied to the study of 35 sherds of Graeco-Italic amphorae mostly found in Palermo, but also in Pantelleria and Malta (Tab. 1). The provenance identification derived from both approaches gives evidence for the arrival, in North-Western Sicily, of presumable wine amphorae from central-Tyrrhenian Italy since the very late 4th century BC. The production of the majority of the material has been confidentially attributed to the area of the Gulf of Naples/Ischia, but a second large group originates from several, still unidentified production sites to be located along the coastal strip of Campania…
L’influence politique de Versailles sur la noblesse lituanienne à la fin du XVIIe siècle
2021
In the second half of the seventeenth century, French diplomacy dominated Europe, including the Polish-Lithuanian state and its most important aristocratic families. The reports of French diplomats described their encounters with the most eminent families of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania: the Sapiehas and Radziwiłłs (the most powerful), the Pacs, Wiśniowieckis and Ogińskis. Through them, Versailles sought to implement its policy in the Polish-Lithuanian state, and win these allies through (usually honoured) promises of money. The goal was to support a French candidate to the Polish throne and to prevail against Vienna and Berlin on the European political chessboard. While efforts to cooperat…
Global social knowledge management: from barriers to the selection of social tools
2013
Web 2.0 and Social Software revolutionize the knowledge exchange within and between organizations. This is one of the claims consultants and software vendors in the field have made. But have the promises been kept and has evidence been achieved so far, in particular for knowledge management in globally distributed settings? As a starting point, our paper introduces the field of Global Social Knowledge Management (GSKM). We see this area as one of the main research area for future research in the Knowledge Management domain. A variety of social software applications have already been seen promising and incorporated into the context of knowledge management (Avram 2006; Zheng and Zheng 2010; L…
Pleasure of eating: a lever for the adoption of healthy eating in children
2018
Childhood obesity, despite a recent stabilization, is still a matter of concerns in the European region and elsewhere (WHO, 2017), i.e. in France (where it concerned 17% of 3-14 y-old children in 2015; INCA3). Since many years, public health campaigns have encouraged healthy eating in many countries over the world, in particular by highlighting the beneficial effect on health of some food groups (e.g., in France “For your health, eat five fruits and vegetables a day”). However, the WHO noted in 2017 that among adolescents, “daily consumption of fruit and vegetables increased slightly between 2002 and 2014, but overall prevalence remains low ; and daily consumption of sugary soft drinks and …
Source unreliability decreases but does not cancel the impact of social information on metacognitive evaluations
2015
International audience; Through metacognitive evaluations, individuals assess their own cognitive operations with respect to their current goals. We have previously shown that non-verbal social cues spontaneously influence these evaluations, even when the cues are unreliable. Here, we explore whether a belief about the reliability of the source can modulate this form of social impact. Participants performed a two-alternative forced choice task that varied in difficulty. The task was followed by a video of a person who was presented as being either competent or incompetent at performing the task. That person provided random feedback to the participant through facial expressions indicating ag…
Growth and limb bone histology of aetosaurs and phytosaurs from the Late Triassic Krasiejów locality (sw Poland) reveals strong environmental influen…
2022
Abstract The growth pattern of the Polish phytosaur Parasuchus cf. arenaceus and the aetosaur Stagonolepis olenkae (both Krasiejów; Norian) was studied. Results were compared to published data of other members of these two groups and to a new sample of the German (Heslach; Norian) phytosaur Nicrosaurus sp. All three herein studied taxa display lamellar-zonal bone consisting predominately of parallel-fibred tissue and on average a low to moderate vascular density. Towards the outer cortex the thickness of annuli increases in most samples and becomes distinctly wider than the zones. Therefore, most of the appositional growth in adults was achieved during phases of prolonged slow growth. All b…
The interplay between metabolome, epigenome and metabolic syndrome in severe obesity: the influence of sex and age
2022
Antecedentes: la obesidad en adultos se define como una acumulación anormal o excesiva de grasa que representa un importante factor de riesgo para la salud, contribuyendo a aumentar la morbilidad y la mortalidad. Aunque las condiciones de salud subyacentes y la genética podrían ser en algunos casos las principales causas de la obesidad, en la mayoría de los casos es el resultado de estilos de vida poco saludables a largo plazo. En su forma más severa clínicamente (obesidad de Clase III), el tejido adiposo se convierte en el órgano endocrino metabólico más grande que interactúa fuertemente con el sistema endocrino y contribuye al desarrollo del síndrome metabólico (MetS). El MetS es consider…
LOS PROCESOS DE INFLUENCIA SOCIAL EN ENTORNOS VIRTUALES Y SU INCIDENCIA SOBRE LA EFICACIA GRUPAL
2008
El estudio de la incidencia de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TICs) sobre los procesos de influencia social ha sido el objetivo de diversas investigaciones. En ellas, el papel de estos procesos en la relación entre la modalidad de comunicación y los resultados grupales no queda definido. El objetivo del presente trabajo es clarificar el rol de los procesos de influencia en dicha relación, utilizando dos modalidades de comunicación: videoconferencia y comunicación mediada por ordenador. Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio de laboratorio con 44 grupos distribuidos aleatoriamente entre las dos modalidades de comunicación. Los resultados indican que los procesos de influ…
