Thinking about anxiety moderates the relationship between implicit and explicit anxiety measures

2008

Abstract Explicit measures (e.g., questionnaires) assess introspectively accessible self-descriptions and evaluations. In contrast, implicit measures (e.g., the Implicit Association Test) assess the self-concept indirectly, usually by means of performance measures such as reaction-time tasks. Correlations between implicit and explicit measures of personality dispositions tend to be low. The current study ( N  = 82) tested the hypothesis that thinking about anxiety-arousing (vs. extraversion-arousing) situations moderates the relationship between implicit and explicit anxiety measures. Results supported this prediction: While no association between implicit and explicit anxiety measures was …

Reasoned and implicit processes in heavy episodic drinking : An integrated dual‐process model

2020

Objectives: University students commonly engage in heavy episodic drinking (HED), which contributes to injury risk, deleterious educational outcomes, and economic costs. Identification of the determinants of this risky behaviour may provide formative evidence on which to base effective interventions to curb HED in this population. Drawing from theories of social cognition and dual‐process models, this study tested key hypotheses relating to reasoned and implicit pathways to action for HED in a sample of Australian university students who drink alcohol. Design: A two‐wave correlational design was adopted. Methods: Students (N = 204) completed self‐reported constructs from social cognition th…

Reciprocal relations between past behavior, implicit beliefs, and habits : A cross-lagged panel design

2023

The current study assessed cross-lagged relationships between binge drinking, implicit beliefs, and habit in undergraduate university students ( N = 105). Students completed self-report survey and implicit measures in lab visits 3 months apart. A structural equation model revealed cross-lagged relations between habit and behavior, and some evidence for a reciprocal relationship between implicit beliefs and habit. Implicit beliefs were related to alcohol behavior across time, but no cross-lagged relationship was observed. Findings provide preliminary support for recent advances in habit theory, suggesting that implicit beliefs and habit may develop in tandem or even share common knowledge s…

Optimal Heating of an Indoor Swimming Pool

2020

This work presents the derivation of a model for the heating process of the air of a glass dome, where an indoor swimming pool is located in the bottom of the dome. The problem can be reduced from a three dimensional to a two dimensional one. The main goal is the formulation of a proper optimization problem for computing the optimal heating of the air after a given time. For that, the model of the heating process as a partial differential equation is formulated as well as the optimization problem subject to the time-dependent partial differential equation. This yields the optimal heating of the air under the glass dome such that the desired temperature distribution is attained after a given…

Brain responses of dysphoric and control participants during a self‐esteem implicit association test

2021

Previous studies have reported lowered implicit self‐esteem at the behavioral level among depressed individuals. However, brain responses related to the lowered implicit self‐esteem have not been investigated in people with depression. Here, event‐related potentials were measured in 28 dysphoric participants (individuals with elevated amounts of depressive symptoms) and 30 control participants during performance of an implicit association task (IAT) suggested to reflect implicit self‐esteem. Despite equivalent behavioral performance, differences in brain responses were observed between the dysphoric and the control groups in late positive component (LPC) within 400–1,000 ms poststimulus lat…

On the History of Differentiable Manifolds

2012

International audience; We discuss central aspects of history of the concept of an affine dif-ferentiable manifold, as a proposal confirming the need for using some quantitative methods (drawn from elementary Model Theory) in Mathematical Historiography. In particular, we prove that this geometric structure is a syntactic rigid designator in the sense of Kripke-Putnam.

Coincidence and common fixed points of weakly reciprocally continuous and compatible hybrid mappings via an implicit relation and an application

2015

Using the hybrid version of the notion of weakly reciprocal continuous mappings due to Gairola et al. [Coincidence and fixed point for weakly reciprocally continuous single-valued and multi-valued maps, Demonstratio Math. (2013/2014), accepted], we prove a coincidence and common fixed point theorem for a hybrid pair of compatible mappings via an implicit relation. Our main result improves and generalizes a host of previously known theorems. As an application, we give a homotopy theorem which supports our main result.

Pašuztvertā intelekta saistība ar akadēmisko pašefektivitāti un akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem vispārizglītojošo skolu jauniešiem

2020

Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt saistību starp pašuztverto intelektu, akadēmisko pašefektivitāti un akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem vispārizglītojošo skolu jauniešiem, kā arī veikt atšķirību izpēti skolēnu izlases apakšgrupās ar atšķirīgiem pašuztvertā intelekta domāšanas veidiem. Pētījuma izlasi veido 165 jaunieši vecumā no 15 līdz 19 gadiem (M = 16,75, SD = 0,90), no tiem 80 (48,50%) meitenes un 85 (51,50%) zēni, kas mācās 10.-12. klasē piecās vidusskolās. Pētījumam piemīt aprakstošs korelatīvs un starpgrupu analīzes dizains. Pētījumā tika adaptētas un izmantotas divas aptaujas - Pašuztvertā intelekta skala bērniem (Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale for Children (ITIS), Blackwell, Trzesnie…

Sentence-Level Effects of Literary Genre: Behavioral and Electrophysiological Evidence

2017

The current study used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and behavioral measures to examine effects of genre awareness on sentence processing and evaluation. We hypothesized that genre awareness modulates effects of genre-typical manipulations. We manipulated instructions between participants, either specifying a genre (poetry) or not (neutral). Sentences contained genre-typical variations of semantic congruency (congruent/incongruent) and morpho-phonological features (archaic/contemporary inflections). Offline ratings of meaningfulness (n = 64/group) showed higher average ratings for semantically incongruent sentences in the poetry vs. neutral condition. ERPs during sentence reading (n…
