BACKGROUND Students' motives for studying Dentistry have been a subject of interest for years because of the potential for understanding the psychological makeup and subsequent job satisfaction for the dentist. It is also useful in identifying expectations of the profession. This study therefore tried to identify study motives and career preferences of dental students especially with respect to...

Substance use disorder is conceptualized as a chronic relapsing condition where relapse is usually defined as the return to problematic substance use following treatment. An issue of great importance is the identification of the predictors of relapse and the development of treatments that may help prevent relapse. One of the strongest predictors of relapse is craving. The purpose of the present...

When individual consumers develop products for their own use, they in part expect to be rewarded by the use value of what they are creating (utilitarian user motives), and in part expect to be rewarded intrinsically by such things as the fun and learning experience derived from creating it (hedonic user motives). In this paper, we conduct first-of-type studies to understand the relationship bet...

BACKGROUND Although culinary practices have strongly evolved over time, few data are available on contemporary dish choices during meal preparation. We therefore sought to determine individual motives when choosing dishes to be prepared during weekdays and on weekends. METHODS The importance of 27 criteria related to dish choices was assessed in 53,025 participants in the NutriNet-Santé study...

Everyone has experienced injustices and slights, and so approximately everyone has experienced sentiments like anger, resentment, and vengefulness. These are not just feelings. They are also motives; I call them retributive motives. In their grip, one is motivated to confront, retaliate, avenge, or seek retribution, often contrary to better judgment. These motives can be contrasted with prospec...

In this article we further the study of the relationship between pure motives and noncommutative motives, initiated in [25]. Making use of Hochschild homology, we introduce the category NNum(k)F of noncommutative numerical motives (over a base ring k and with coefficients in a field F ). We prove that NNum(k)F is abelian semi-simple and that Grothendieck’s category Num(k)Q of numerical motives ...

OBJECTIVE Caring for a spouse with cancer can be challenging on many levels. How caregivers adjust to this challenge may be influenced both by their personal orientation to the relationship and by their motives for providing care.
