Humans learn, in large part, by copying knowledgeable others. However, because others can be deceitful or lack competence, indiscriminate copying would be maladaptive. How then do individuals determine which social group members have knowledge that should be copied? We argue that the pride nonverbal expression may signal expertise, and thus bias learning such that proud others are more likely t...

Anticipated self-conscious emotions, such as pride and guilt, help individuals to behave in line with their personal and social standards regarding the environment. We seek to explore whether this selfregulatory role of anticipated pride and guilt functions similarly across individuals from different cultures (N 1⁄4 3854). We show that there are no differences across countries in the self-regul...

Understanding positive emotions' shared and differentiating features can yield valuable insight into the structure of positive emotion space and identify emotion states, or aspects of emotion states, that are most relevant for particular psychological processes and outcomes. We report two studies that examined core relational themes (Study 1) and expressive displays (Study 2) for eight positive...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT Historically the narrow line radio galaxies were thought to be intrinsically nonthermal, and without significant accretion. When the Unified Model came along the compelling observational motivation for this lost some force: some are found to be hidden broad line objects, and in principle that could be the case with all of them. The clear sign of a hidden quasa...

The fungibility of money, along with its function as a medium of exchange, gives monetary transactions pride of place in neoclassical theories of economics. However, a growing number of laboratory studies and anecdotal field evidence (appealing to theories of mental accounting) have shown that consumers’ willingness to spend an additional unit of wealth depends upon the sources and categories o...

Predatory potential and performance of the predaceous heteropterans, Geocoris punctipes (Say), G. uliginosus (Say) (Geocoridae), and Orius insidiosus (Say) (Anthocoridae), were evaluated using fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), as prey on different turfgrass taxa (resistant zoysiagrasses, 'Cavalier' and 'Palisades'; moderately resistant Bermuda grass, 'TifSport'; and susceptibl...

The Brill{Hartle gravitational geon construct as a spherical shell of small amplitude, high frequency gravitational waves is reviewed and critically analyzed. The Regge{Wheeler formalism is used to represent gravitational wave perturbations of the spherical background as a superposition of tensor spherical harmonics and an attempt is made to build a non{singular solution to meet the requirement...

The paper analyzes pride, its nature, expression and functions, as a social emotion connected to the areas of image and self-image and to power relations. Three types of pride, dignity, superiority and arrogance, are distinguished, their mental ingredients are singled out, and two experimental studies are presented showing that they are conveyed by different combinations of smile, eyebrow and e...

King Edward VII ("KE") had been synonymous with the medical school and its associated hall of residence at Sepoy Lines since the 1910s. After the school became the Medical Faculty, the illustrious name remained with the Hall, which was rebuilt in 1957. For almost 90 years, KE has kept alive the rich history and traditions of a bygone era that embodied the passion and pride of both Singapore and...
