Abstract In this paper, we study Chow motives whose identity map is killed by a natural number. Examples of such objects were constructed Gorchinskiy and Orlov [ 10]. We introduce various invariants torsion motives, in particular, the $p$-level. show that invariant bounds from below dimension variety motive $M$ direct summand imposes restrictions on motivic singular cohomology $M$. more details...

Previous research into the role of exercise motives (what people want from exercise) has overlooked the possible role of gains (what people get) and hence the possible benefits of motive fulfillment (when people get what they want). To redress this imbalance, we examined the additive and interactive effects of motives and subjective gains on exercise-specific outcomes. Young adults (N 196) comp...

This article discusses inter- and intra-personal motives for the regulation of crying, and presents illustrative findings from an online survey (N = 110) exploring why and how people regulate crying in their everyday lives. In line with current theorizing on emotion regulation and crying (e.g., Vingerhoets et al., 2000), we propose that emotional crying is regulated using both antecedent-focuse...
