Following completion of the RoadRunners, six of the eight participants had re-engaged in educati...

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of variety on long-term product acceptance and consumption in a home-use situation. Subjects (N= 105) consumed a meat sauce once a week at dinner at home for a period of 10 weeks. Three variety groups were designed. The monotony group (N= 45) consistently received the same flavour of meat sauce across all 10 weeks; the imposed variation g...

Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do.

We analyze the antecedents of affective states in a simulation problem-solving environment, The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions, through quantitative field observations of high school students in the Philippines using that system. We investigate the transitions between affective states over time, finding that several affective states, including flow, boredom, and frustration, but not...

A comparison of two nonlinear input-output models describing the relationship between human emotion (excitement, frustration and engagement/boredom) signals and a virtual 3D face feature (distance-between-eyes) is introduced in this paper. A method of least squares with projection to stability domain for the building of stable models with the least output prediction error is proposed. Validatio...

This study attempted to identify factors that heiped to explain the subjective well-being of people with spinal cord injury (SCI). A hierarchical multiple regression equation was used to determine the proportion of observed variance in the subjective well-being explained by the independent variables (perceived freedom in leisure, free time boredom, frequency of recreation participation, watchin...
