Highly palatable foods play a salient role in obesity and binge-eating, and if habitually eaten to deal with intrinsic and extrinsic factors unrelated to metabolic need, may compromise adaptive coping and interpersonal skills. This study used event sampling methodology (ESM) to examine whether individuals who report eating palatable foods primarily to cope, to enhance reward, to be social, or t...

As a contribution to the understanding of the mechanism of the collective motion of the cell mass in the migrating pseudoplasmodium its motive force has been determined. The measurements in the present paper were made by an original method using centrifugal force. The maximum value of the motive force of a migrating pseudoplasmodium in the dark was estimated as 0.6-1.6 dyn. This value is compar...

The current study presents a conceptual framework for the moderation of the relationship between implicit and self-attributed motive congruency and psychological well-being. Consistent with this framework, we found evidence for such moderation effects for predicting life satisfaction in a secondary data analysis of a sample (N = 441) drawn from the Eugene-Springfield Community Sample longitudin...

The investigation of teams and teamwork in cooperative (e.g., group brainstorming and team decisionmaking) and mixed-motive (e.g., negotiation) contexts has been carried out through a variety of lenses anddisciplines.One lens that has not beenused to rigorously theorize about andempirically investigate teams is that of ideologies. In this review, we juxtapose the study of a particular status-re...

Carbon leakage provides an efficiency argument for unilateral climate policy to differentiate emission prices in favor of emission-intensive and trade-exposed sectors. At the same time, differential emission pricing can be (mis-)used as a beggar-thy-neighbor policy to exploit terms of trade. Using an optimal tax framework, we propose a method to decompose the leakage motive and the terms-of-tra...

This paper studies the impact of an unfunded social security system on the distribution of bequests in a framework where savings are due both by life cycle and by random altruistic motivations. We show that the impact of social security on the distribution of bequests depends crucially on the importance of the bequest motive in explaining savings behavior. If the bequest motive is strong, then ...

Some empirical studies show negative consequences of being demographically different from one’s group, but the underlying psychological mechanisms are not well understood. To address this gap, we investigated the role of the belonging and distinctiveness motives in individuals’ experiences of being ethnically dissimilar from their group. We propose that ethnic dissimilarity satisfies group memb...

Making use of noncommutative motives we relate exceptional collections (and more generally semi-orthogonal decompositions) to motivic decompositions. On one hand we prove that the Chow motive M(X )Q of every smooth and proper Deligne-Mumford stack X , whose bounded derived category D(X ) of coherent schemes admits a full exceptional collection, decomposes into a direct sum of tensor powers of t...
