An experiment examined the impact of indirect social monitoring on memory distortions found in ‘egoistic self-enhancers’, that is, individuals prone to self-reporting enhanced traits related to social status and dominance (Paulhus & John, 1998). One-hundred-and-sixty-six students from a large urban university (117 women and 49 men, mean age = 23.0 years) were randomly assigned to two conditions...

Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent functions involving the argument of complex-value functions of the form f = h + ¯g and investigate some properties of this subclass e.g. necessary and sufficient coefficient bounds, extreme points, distortion bounds and Hadamard product.Abstract. In this paper we define and verify a subclass of harmonic univalent func...

in this paper we obtain coefficient characterization‎, ‎extreme points and‎ ‎distortion bounds for the classes of harmonic $p-$valent functions‎ ‎defined by certain modified operator‎. ‎some of our results improve‎ ‎and generalize previously known results‎.

This paper establishes a theoretical framework addressing the long-debated issue of efficiency and equity. Empirical evidence shows that a comparativeadvantage-following development strategy promotes growth and narrows the income gap, achieving both efficiency in production and equity in income distribution. A review of the past three decades of reform reveals that development in line with the ...

Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with variable symptomatology, traditionally divided into positive and negative symptoms, and cognitive deficits. However, the etiology of this disorder has yet to be fully understood. Recent findings suggest that alteration of the basic sense of self-awareness may be an essential distortion of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. In addition, ex...

The paper discusses whether a Pareto-improving cut back of a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) system of social security is feasible if there is an altruistic motive for making positive bequests. The paper argues that this cut back is possible if the PAYGO system relies on distorting labor taxes. Even in the case when only a fraction of the current old have an altruistic bequest motive it may be possible t...
