The innovation characteristic studies are deemed to be significant as consumers’ behavior influenced by how they perceive these product characteristics. As the characteristics continue grow, observed cognitively centric in nature with overlapping meanings and terms. To overcome this gap, study intends develop a cognitive-affective-balanced higher-order adoption model upon key constructs diffusi...

A central, unresolved problem in affective neuroscience is understanding how emotions are represented in nervous system activity. After prior localization approaches largely failed, researchers began applying multivariate statistical tools to reconceptualize how emotion constructs might be embedded in large-scale brain networks. Findings from pattern analyses of neuroimaging data show that affe...

a r t i c l e i n f o Two studies were conducted to test whether psychopathy, narcissism, and borderline personality are linked to impairment in affective empathy experience. In both studies, two forms of affective empathy (emotional contagion and empathic concern) were covertly manipulated and measured. Use of state empathy change scores and data aggregation across both studies and a third pre...

The authors examine the effect of relational constructs (e.g., satisfaction, trust, and affective and calculative commitment) on customer referrals and the number of services purchased, aswell as themoderating effect of age of the relationship on these relationships. The research reported, based on data obtained from a large sample of customers of an insurance company, combines archival and sur...

We examined the possible dissociation between two modes of valence: affective valence (valence of e emotional response) and semantic valence (stored knowledge about valence of an object or event). In Experiment 1, 50 participants viewed affective pictures that were repeatedly presented while their facial electromyography (EMG) activation and heart rate response were continuously recorded. Half ...

The goals of the current study were to use specific measures of affective lability and neuroticism to examine the nomological network surrounding both constructs and to test the degree to which a measure of general personality can account for variability in affective lability. Using a psychiatric outpatient sample (n=48), we assessed personality disorder (PD) symptoms, personality, and level of...

Core psychoanalytic constructs may be impossible to study directly using neuroscience and imaging methodologies. Nevertheless, experimental paradigms have been developed and are being applied that are at least relevant to understanding the neural bases of certain core theoretical constructs within psychoanalysis. These paradigms have demonstrated the likely contributions of: (1) the nucleus acc...

Entertainment consumption is a common activity in the shopping centre environment. However, very little research (e.g. Parsons, 2003; Sit, Merrilees and Birch, 2003) has examined the concept of entertainment consumption in the shopping centre context. Hence, this conceptual paper presents a research model which aims to understand shopper satisfaction with entertainment consumption. The proposed...

In [1–3], a series of prerequisites for affective signal processing (ASP) was defined: validation (e.g., mapping of constructs on signals), triangulation, a physiology-driven approach, contributions of the signal processing community, identification of users, theoretical specification, integration of biosignals, and physical characteristics. This paper defines three additional prerequisites: hi...

Research is needed to develop evidence-based behavioral interventions for preventing and treating obesity that are specific to the schizophrenia population. This study is the precursor to such intervention research where we examined the utility of the social cognitions outlined within the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model for predicting moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in...
