Gender differences in implicit and explicit anxiety measures

2004

Abstract Explicit measures assess introspectively accessible self-descriptions and evaluations. In contrast, implicit measures assess introspectively inaccessible processes that operate outside of awareness. While women consistently yield higher scores on explicit anxiety measures, there are to date no studies available that examine gender differences in implicit anxiety measures. To analyse this topic, we used the Implicit Association Test (Study 1, N =248) and the Emotional Stroop task (Study 2, N =121) as implicit anxiety measures and a standard trait questionnaire as explicit anxiety measure. As expected, women scored higher on the explicit anxiety test. Women also yielded higher anxiet…

Influence of plant traits, soil microbial properties, and abiotic parameters on nitrogen turnover of grassland ecosystems

2016

International audience; Although it is known that multiple interactions among plant functional traits, microbial properties , and abiotic soil parameters influence the nutrient turnover, the relative contribution of each of these groups of variables is poorly understood. We manipulated grassland plant functional composition and soil nitrogen (N) availability in a multisite mesocosm experiment to quantify their relative effects on soil N turnover. Overall, root traits, arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization, denitrification potential, as well as N availability and water availability, best explained the variation in measured ecosystem properties, especially the trade-off between nutrient sequest…

From interdependence to agency

2011

Maahanmuuttajien määrä Suomessa on kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti sitten 1990-luvun. Muutos väestörakenteessa vaikuttaa myös suomalaisten koulujen arkeen ja opettajien työhön, mutta tutkimusta maahanmuuttajista erityisesti kieliaineiden oppijina on vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena olikin selvittää millainen maahanmuuttajan kielellinen ympäristö Suomessa on ja erityisesti sitä millainen vaikutus sillä on kielten oppimiseen. Tutkimus tarkastelee maahanmuuttajia toiminnan teorian valossa, ja vastauksia haettiin seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) miten maahanmuuttajaoppijat käsitteellistävät itsensä englannin ja suomen kielten oppijina, 2) minkälaisia välittyneisyyden keinoja he käyttävät englannin ja…

Hereditäre Pankreatitis - Eine klinisch relevante Ursache des Pankreaskarzinoms? -

2001

UNLABELLED Hereditary pancreatitis is an autosomal dominant disease. Recently, the genetic defect has been mapped to chromosome 7q35 and consists mainly of a point mutation in exon 3 of the cationic trypsinogen gene which causes an Arg(CGC)-His(CAC) substitution at residue 117. In patients with hereditary pancreatitis the estimated cumulative risk for pancreatic carcinoma to age 70 approaches 40 %. Thus, the role of hereditary pancreatitis in the pathogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma is of interest. PATIENTS AND METHODS DNA was extracted from peripheral blood (n = 16), fresh tumor tissue (n = 29) and formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tumor tissue (n = 5) of 50 patients with ductal adenoca…

The present study aimed to examine effects of motivational and social cognition constructs on children’s leisure-time physical activity participation alongside constructs representing implicit processes using an extended trans-contextual model. The study adopted a correlational prospective design. Secondary-school students (N = 502) completed self-report measures of perceived autonomy support from physical education (PE) teachers, autonomous motivation in PE and leisure-time contexts, and social cognition constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control), intentions, trait self-control, habits, and past behavior in a leisure-time physical activity context. Five weeks la…

Statistical colocalization of monocyte gene expression and genetic risk variants for type 1 diabetes

2012

One mechanism by which disease-associated DNA variation can alter disease risk is altering gene expression. However, linkage disequilibrium (LD) between variants, mostly single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), means it is not sufficient to show that a particular variant associates with both disease and expression, as there could be two distinct causal variants in LD. Here, we describe a formal statistical test of colocalization and apply it to type 1 diabetes (T1D)-associated regions identified mostly through genome-wide association studies and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) discovered in a recently determined large monocyte expression data set from the Gutenberg Health Study (1…

Statistics anxiety in university students in assessment situations

2018

Many students have feelings of state anxiety when exams, and these feelings probably affect their performance. Statistics courses have been identified as producing the most anxiety. The purpose of our study is to measure statistics anxiety throughout an academic course (pre-test and three assessments) in order to observe its change and analyze the relationship between statistics anxiety and academic achievement. The sample is composed of 30 Psychology students taking a course in research designs and statistics (26.7% men and 73.3% women) with a mean age of 20.31 years (SD = 3.76). The results show that the students begin with a high level of statistics anxiety that gradually declines as the…
