According to self-determination theory, eudaimonic motivation a positive psychological characteristic that supposed have favorable influence on athletes’ acquisition subjective well-being. In order examine relationship between two and test mediating effects meaning searching experience, this stu...

Background. Due to global changes and growing socio-cultural uncertainty, it is important determine which personal traits allow a person maintain high level of subjective well-being in modern conditions living. Objective. The article aims the contribution (perfectionism, coping strategies tolerance for ambiguity) components (life satisfaction happiness). Sample. study involved 142 respondents (...

The study of poverty and its quantification is a critical yet unresolved problem in social science. This work seeks to use new composite indicator assess as multidimensional concept. However, subjective decisions, such various weighting systems on the indicator’s creation, may affect perception. In order solve this issue, we propose random different indicators based simulated weightings specifi...

Previous work by Tesser (1993) and Bourgeois (2002) found that heritable attitudes are more resistant to social influence and attitude change. The present study sought to replicate and extend previous work by utilizing attitudes and heritability estimates not previously used in studies examining the effect of heritable attitudes on social influence processes. It was hypothesized that attitudesw...

Poverty analysis is often based on national level indicators that are compared over time or across countries. The broad trends that can be identified using aggregate information are useful for evaluating and monitoring the overall performance of a country. For many policy and research applications, however, the information that can be extracted from aggregate indicators is not sufficient. Resea...

Abstract Measurement of subjective animal welfare creates a special problem in validating the measurement indicators used. Validation is required to ensure are measuring intended target state, and not some other object. While can usually be validated by looking for correlation between indicator under controlled manipulations, this possible when state directly accessible. In article, I outline f...

This paper examines the out-of-sample performance of various financial variables as predictors of U.S. recessions. Series such as interest rates and spreads, stock prices, and monetary aggregates are evaluated individually and in comparison with other financial and nonfinancial indicators. The analysis focuses on out-of-sample performance from one to eight quarters ahead. Results show that stoc...

In this paper, we investigate competition in banking systems in the EU27 as a whole for the period 2004– 2010, but also for old members’ banking systems compared with new members’ banking systems and for banking systems from countries member of euro zone compares with banking systems from countries non-member of euro zone. In order to investigate this issue, we estimate a non-structural indicat...

Understanding the neural basis of behaviour requires studying brain activity in behaving subjects using complementary techniques that measure neural responses at multiple spatial scales, and developing computational tools for understanding the mapping between these measurements. Here we report the first results of widefield imaging of genetically encoded calcium indicator (GCaMP6f) signals from...

It is widely recognized that citation counts for papers from different fields cannot be directly compared because different scientific fields adopt different citation practices. Citation counts are also strongly biased by paper age since older papers had more time to attract citations. Various procedures aim at suppressing these biases and give rise to new normalized indicators, such as the rel...
