The Sex-linked Anxiety Coping Theory (SCT) suggests that anxiety should relate to performance more strongly for males than females. In Study 1, we examined how the theory applied to five interview anxiety dimensions (appearance anxiety, behavioral anxiety, communication anxiety, performance anxiety, and social anxiety) using actual job applicants. In general, females reported higher levels of e...

Prolonged exposure to upright and inverted female and male faces produces opposite effects on subsequent judgments of the sex of faces depending on their orientation. We show that the magnitude of this orientation-contingent gender aftereffect can be predicted from simple aftereffects induced separately at the same orientations. The contingent aftereffect can also be induced in faces tilted 90 ...

We report numerical calculations on the quantum transport through C48N12 based devices from first principles. We find that the transport properties are very sensitive to orientations of the molecules to the electrode. Different orientations can give rise to semiconducting to metallic behaviors. Our results show that the charge transfer which can be tuned by the gate voltage plays an important r...

Contextual influences on neurons in the primary visual cortex have largely been studied using simple visual stimuli and their functional role is still poorly understood. Using a novel visual after-effect of perceived shape we show psychophysically that the coding of a contour's shape is inhibited by nearby parallel, but not orthogonal texture orientations. This suggests that neurons in the visu...

This article describes how the entrepreneurial mindset is comprised of two predominant orientations, one toward finding and selecting potential solutions, other focused on implementation execution these solutions. We explore this duality note its role in moving forward field’s understanding elusive concept. Specifically, we argue that entrepreneurs cycle between orientations order to learn abou...

INTRODUCTION In many countries doctors are seeing an increasing amount of immigrant patients. The communication and relationship between such groups often needs to be improved, with the crucial factor potentially being the basic attitudes (acculturation orientations) of the doctors and patients. This study therefore explores how acculturation orientations of Canadian doctors and immigrant patie...
