Abstract In 2017, Lindsay and Creswell proposed the Monitor Acceptance Theory (MAT) of mindfulness, which a unified testable framework for interpreting predicting different mindfulness effects on attention, affective reactivity, emotion regulation, health-related variables. MAT identifies two basic skills: attention monitoring acceptance. The theory is articulated in main tenets, affirming that...

A central tenet of behavioral economics is that the axioms producing expected utility maximization by consumers are too strong to be descriptive rational behavior. The existing theory monetary services aggregation under risk assume maximization. We extend those results uncertainty weaker axiomatic assumptions using Choquet expectations. integration reduces Riemann as a special case stronger ass...

A basic tenet in elementary microeconomics is tax incidence equivalence. This tenet holds that the burden of a unit tax on buyers and sellers is independent of who actually pays the tax. Recently, the empirical validity of tax incidence equivalence has been brought into question. In this paper, using competitive laboratory markets, I test both tax incidence equivalence and an analogous theorem ...

Research and clinical investigations in psychiatry largely rely on the de facto assumption that the diagnostic categories identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) represent homogeneous syndromes. However, the mechanistic heterogeneity that potentially underlies the existing classification scheme might limit discovery of etiology for most developmental psychiatric disorders. Ano...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The Baas Becking tenet posits that 'everything is everywhere, but the environment selects' to explain cosmopolitan distributions in highly vagile taxa. Bryophyte species show wider distributions than vascular plants and include examples of truly cosmopolitan ranges, which have been interpreted as a result of high dispersal capacities and ecological plasticity....

A central tenet of life-history theory is that investment in reproduction compromises survival. We tested for costs of reproduction in wild brown anoles (Anolis sagrei) by eliminating reproductive investment via surgical ovariectomy and/or removal of oviductal eggs. Anoles are unusual among lizards in that females lay single-egg clutches at frequent intervals throughout a lengthy reproductive s...

Reasoning is often modeled as a process that draws conclusions by chaining together generalized rules, starting from scratch. Case-based reasoning (CBR) takes a very di erent view. In CBR, the primary knowledge source is not generalized rules but a memory of stored cases recording speci c prior episodes. In CBR, new solutions are generated not by chaining, but by retrieving the most relevant ca...

Our era is witnessing an increasing impact of globalization on self and identity and at the same time a growing uncertainty. The experience of uncertainty motivates individuals and groups to find local niches for identity construction. This article’s central tenet is that the processes of globalization and localization, as globalization’s counterforce, require a dialogical conceptualization of ...

A central tenet of evolutionary theory is that mutation is random with respect to its adaptive consequences for individual organisms; that is, the production of variation precedes and does not cause adaptation. Several recent experimental reports have challenged this tenet by suggesting that bacteria (and yeast) "may have mechanisms for choosing which mutations will occur" (6, p. 142). The phen...

A principal tenet of the scientific method is that experiments must be repeatable. This tenet relies on ceteris paribus (i.e., all other things being equal). As a scientific community, involved in data sciences, we must investigate ways to establish an environment where experiments can be repeated. We can no longer allude to where the data comes from, we must add rigor to the data collection an...
