Previous studies that have examined the relationship between implicit and explicit motive measures have consistently found little variance overlap between both types of measures regardless of thematic content domain (i.e., power, achievement, affiliation). However, this independence may be artifactual because the primary means of measuring implicit motives--content-coding stories people write a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is overrepresented among cigarette smokers. It has been hypothesized that those with PTSD smoke to alleviate negative affect and counteract deficient positive affect commonly associated with the disorder; however, limited research has examined associations between PTSD symptoms, smoking motives, and affective vulnerability factors....

In this paper we show in a more or less complete way how to apply methods from algebraic combinatorics to the classification of motives. These methods can be described in a very general way so that they can be applied for the classification of objects in different sciences. For instance for the isomer enumeration in chemistry, for spin analysis in physics, for the classification of isometry cla...

We construct motivic versions of the classical tubular neighborhood and the punctured tubular neighborhood, and give applications to the construction of tangential base-points for mixed Tate motives, algebraic gluing of curves with boundary components , and limit motives.
