Unraveling Moral Reasoning in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: How Emotional Detachment Modifies Moral Judgment

2020

In the last decade, scientific literature provided solid evidence of cognitive deficits in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and their effects on end-life choices. However, moral cognition and judgment are still poorly investigated in this population. Here we aimed at evaluating both socio-cognitive and socio-affective components of moral reasoning in a sample of 28 ALS patients. Patients underwent clinical and neuropsychological evaluation including basic cognitive and social cognition measures. Additionally, we administered an experimental task including moral dilemmas, with instrumental and incidental conditions. Patients' performances were compared with a control group [healt…

Apzinātība, emociju regulācija un pašefektivitāte Iespējamās Misijas un citu augstāko izglītību pedagoģijā ieguvušiem skolotājiem.

2016

Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv atšķirības starp Iespējamās Misijas skolotāju un Latvijas Universitātes topošo skolotāju apzinātības, pašefektivitātes un emociju regulācijas rādītājiem, kā arī, kādas saistības pastāv starp šiem trim mainīgajiem. Datu ievākšanai tika izmantotas 3 aptaujas: Emociju regulācijas aptauja (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire /ERQ/, Gross & John, 2003). Latvijā instrumenta sākotnējā adaptācija tika veikta maģistra darba ietvaros (Morozova, 2011); Norvēģu skolotāju pašefektivitātes skala (Norwegian Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale jeb NTSES (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2007)). Latviešu valodā sākotnējā versija adaptēta kursa darba ietvaros (Virse, 2015); Apzinātības p…

The Effects of Positive and Negative Emotions During Online Shopping Episodes on Consumer Satisfaction, Repurchase Intention, and Recommendation Inte…

2019

The aim of this study is to examine the emotions that consumers experience during their online shopping episodes as well as their effects on consumer satisfaction and two types of post-purchase behavioural intentions: repurchase and recommendation intentions. By hypothesising a research model and testing it with the data from 1,786 Finnish online shoppers, which was collected in co-operation with 18 Finnish online stores between September 2018 and December 2018 and is analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM), the study makes several interesting findings. First, we find positive emotions to have stronger effects in comparison to negative emotions. Second, we also find that where…

Psicobiologia dell'attaccamento

2008

In this work, the emotional and cerebral development of the individual is treated as a complex process, within which genetic and experiential factors interact; equal focus is given to these factors as is through the interactions of both that the human brain achieves full maturity. The recent literature on neuroscientific findings has allowed to understand further which are the mechanisms that play the most important role in the human brain. In particular, this recent work has pointed out the importance of precocious experiences of emotional syntonization between the baby and its development partners; the quality of the experiences that such partners will be able to provide will configure no…

Attitudes toward sad music are related to both preferential and contextual strategies.

2015

Music-related sadness and its paradoxical pleasurable aspects have puzzled researchers for decades. Previous studies have highlighted the positive effects of listening to sad music and the listening strategies that focus on mood-regulation. The present study explored people’s attitudes toward sad music by focusing on a representative sample of the Finnish population. Three hundred and fifty-eight participants rated their agreement with 30 statements concerning attitudes toward sad music. The ratings were subjected to factor analysis, resulting in 6 factors explaining 51% of the variance (RMSEA = 0.049). The factors were labeled Avoidance, Autobiographical, Revival, Appreciation, Intersubjec…

The Sound of Sadness : The Effect of Performers' Emotions on Audience Ratings

2013

Very few studies have investigated the effect of performers’ felt emotions on the audience perception of their performances. Does it matter what a performer feels or thinks about when performing? To investigate this, we asked four violinists to play the same musical phrase in response to three different instructions. The first in-struction was to focus on the technical aspects of their playing. The second instruction was to give an expres-sive performance. Following a sadness-inducing mood induction task, the third instruction was to play while focusing on their felt emotions. High quality audio and motion-capture recordings were made of all perfor-mances. Subsequently, motion-capture anima…

Are Musical Emotions Chimerical? Lessons From the Paradoxical Potency of Music Therapy

2013

The dominant psychological model of emotion posits that a cognitive process (the appraisal) precedes, and results in, the corresponding emotion, including any induced state of physiological arousal: the cognitive com-ponent of emotion mediates the effect of the external cause on the internal arousal component. If emotions in music were naturalistic, the same mechanism should apply. However, a study in which a group of people with autism were compared with matched controls showed a normal level of physiological responsiveness to music in the autism group, coupled with a reduced capacity to verbalize their responses to it. It is hard to account for these results in terms of the standard mecha…

“It is better than working with a person” : Affective cues and responses to robots at work

2022

Robotic technologies are gaining popularity in various industries, and, by implication, academic research anticipates changes in occupations and work tasks, as well as in the labor market in general. In the future, human employees and robots will increasingly work side by side as coworkers. Despite growing interest, little is known about human employees’ experiences of working with robots, and particularly, their emotions toward robots. However, research has shown that emotions – that is, affective responses – play an important role in the use and adoption of technologies. To address this research gap, we conducted a qualitative questionnaire examining the emotions experienced by employees …

Self-regulation, especially the regulation of emotion, is an important component of athletic performance. In our study, we tested the effect of a self-distancing strategy on athletes’ performance in an aggression-inducing experimental task in the laboratory. To this end, we modified an established paradigm of interpersonal provocation [Taylor Aggression Paradigm (TAP)], which has the potential to complement field studies in order to increase our understanding of effective emotion regulation of athletes in critical situations in competitions. In our experimental setting, we first tested the applicability of the self-distancing perspective and the athletes’ ability to dynamically adapt beside…

Longitudinal trajectories of emotions among athletes in sports competitions: Does emotional intelligence matter?

2021

Abstract Objectives This research explored whether several subgroups of athletes representing distinct emotional trajectories could be shown to exist within the latent class growth analysis (LCGA) of pleasant and unpleasant sport emotions (anger, anxiety, dejection, excitement, happiness). A secondary aim was to explore whether athletes belonging to distinct emotional trajectories reported distinct scores of trait-emotional intelligence (EI) at time 1 (T1). Design A longitudinal three-wave measurement design (beginning, middle, and end of a competitive season) was used in the present study. Method A sample of 460 athletes completed the sport emotion questionnaire across three measurement ti…
