This paper explores forced viewing of 'bop-up ads" on the Internet to understand better how viewers come to define ads as irritating and decide to avoid them. Perceived intrusiveness was suggested as the underlying mechanism by which the process occurs. Antecedents of intrusiveness wwe identified that affect perceptions of ads as interruptions, including congruence of the advertisement content ...

The present study was designed to assess the effects of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program on strength of the nervous system, perceptual reactance, reaction time, and auditory threshold. Three reaction time indices of strength of the nervous system were utilized: 1) Nebylitsyn's index, 2) the slope index, and 3) the low level stimulation index. Absolute auditory threshold was the fourth...

: Induction generators are gaining the popularity due to its simplicity and no synchronization problem. However the major drawback of this machine is its additional reactive burden on the system, where it is connected. In this paper an attempt is made to explore the performance of a grid connected induction generator (GCIG) due to weak grid conditions i.e. voltage and frequency fluctuations. It...

The study examines how framing, psychological uncertainty, and agency type influence campaign effectiveness in promoting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. A 2 (gain vs. loss frame) × (high low uncertainty) (national local agency) between-subjects experiment was conducted among Houston residents ( N = 382). Findings revealed that a frame more effective participants primed with high u...

In social interactions, individuals may sometimes pursue their own interests at the expense of their interaction partner. Such self-interested behaviors impose a threat to the interaction partner's freedom to act. The current article investigates this threat in the context of interdependence and reactance theory. We explore how vested interests influence reactance process stages of an advisor-c...

The voltage difference between the two arms of the antenna is On the right is Fig. 86 from [2]. In general the electric field is related to the scalar and vector potentials by E = −∇V − ∂A/∂t = −∇V + iωA, assuming a time dependence of the form e−iωt. Then, ∫ 2 1 E · dl = V1 − V2 + iω ∫ 2 1 A · dl. However, close to a small linear dipole antenna the electric field is much larger than the magneti...
