INTRODUCTION studies have indicated that emotional intelligence is positively related to self-efficacy and can predict the academic achievement. The present study aimed to investigate the role of emotional intelligence in identifying self-efficacy among the students of Public Health School with different levels of academic achievement. METHODS This correlational study was conducted on all the...

Adapting behavior to changes in the environment is a crucial ability for survival but such adaptation varies widely across individuals. Here, we asked how humans alter their economic decision-making in response to emotional cues, and whether this is related to trait anxiety. Developing an emotional decision-making task for functional magnetic resonance imaging, in which gambling decisions were ...

the absence of compassion, argues the author, is not the cause of healthcare failures but rather a symptom of deeper systemic failures. the clinical encounter arouses strong emotions of anxiety, fear, and anger in patients which are often projected onto the clinicians. attempts to protect clinicians through various bureaucratic devices and depersonalization of the patient, constitute as menzies...

By some accounts, the human emotional brain seems to extend up from the amygdala, whereas the emotional brain of nonhuman animals seems to extend from the amygdala down. Affective neuroscience studies of humans have tended to focus on particular regions of the neocortex and adjacent structures (e.g., prefrontal cortex, cingulate cortex, and amygdala in the temporal lobe). By comparison, affecti...

The purpose of this study was the determination of the relationship between the dimensional complexity of the electroencephalogam (EEG) and the level of intelligence in humans. In two experiments 34 male subjects were divided into two groups, with high and low levels of intelligence (as measured by the intelligence quotient (IQ)). During a resting phase and various mental imagery conditions the...

Visuomotor tasks elicit neuronal activity in primate motor areas at relatively short latencies. Although this early activity embodies features of visual responses (short latency, stimulus-dependency), its sensory nature has been questioned. We investigated neural correlates of visuomotor performance in human motor areas using scalp and intracranial event-related potential measures. A simple vis...

In this section, we present a three-organization example to illustrate more about how the A and the C matrices can differ. Recall our simple example from Section IG (see Figure 1). There are two organizations, i = 1, 2, each of which has a 50% stake in the other organization. The associated crossholdings matrix C and the dependency matrix A are as follows. (Recall that Ĉii is equal to 1 minus t...

Differential performance over a wide range of possible postural coordination modes was investigated using 16 ankle-hip relative phase patterns from 0 degrees to 337.5 degrees. Participants were instructed to produce each coordination mode with and without real time visual feedback. Feedback consisted of a Lissajous figure indicating the discrepancy between actual and requested ankle-hip relativ...

This article explores the factors that influence the volume and structure of science programming by European television broadcasters, focussing on differences among channel patterns. It proposes three factors as relevant to understanding differences in science programming: A) the segmentation/fragmentation of television markets; B) the presence of middle sized commercial channels; C) the depend...
