Many of us “see red,” “feel blue,” or “turn green with envy.” Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, are they cultural creations learned through languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we tested emotional colors in 4,598 participants from 30 nations speaking 22 native languages. Participants associated 20 emotion concepts 12 color terms. Pattern-similarity analyses revealed universal (average similarity coefficient r = .88)....
Abstract As people age, they tend to spend more time indoors, and the colours in their surroundings may significantly impact mood overall well‐being. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence provide informed guidance on colour choices, irrespective age group. To work towards we investigated whether associations between emotions observed younger individuals also apply older adults. We recruited 7393 participants, aged 16 88 years coming from 31 countries. Each participant associated 12...
The semantic environment description (SMB) is a structured method used for evaluating the impression of an architectural environment. SMB-method measures with eight factors: pleasantness, complexity, unity, potency, social status, enclosedness, affection and originality. also useful tool measuring vehicle interior since easy to administrate, has high reliability validity, easily adaptable cross cultural comparisons provides knowledge design, engineering marketing. purpose present study was...
Biomass pyrolysis in the thermally thick regime is an important thermochemical phenomenon encountered many different types of reactors. In this paper, a particle-resolved algorithm for biomass particle during high-temperature established by using reactive molecular dynamics (MD) and computational fluid (CFD) methods. The temperature gradient inside computed with heat transfer equation, multiphase flow used to simulate advection/diffusion both outside particle. Besides, influence...
Wood stoves emit particulate matter when used for domestic heating. Consequently, the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning in Sweden enforced a prohibition new installations old wood 2017 to protect public health. The caused backlash that organized itself as "wood stove rising", eventually leading cancellation legislation 2019. We performed comprehensive interviews with 11 signatories original appeal analyze underlying motives combating implementation this pro-environmental...
Fireplaces are popular in Northern Europe. However, particle emissions from fireplaces have been identified as an environmental problem and a health problem. User behaviors affect the success of reducing technologies to large extent. This interdisciplinary study aims investigate why how people use their fireplaces, including what emotions associate with fire, interest learning more about fire making changing behavior related making. It does so by applying emotion regulation model novel way....
The Dress photograph, first displayed on the internet in 2015, revealed stunning individual differences color perception. aim of this study was to investigate if lay-persons believed that question about colors answerable. Past research has found optimism is related judgments how answerable knowledge questions with controversial answers are (Karlsson, Allwood & Buratti, 2016). Furthermore, familiarity a can create feeling knowing answer (Reder Ritter, 1992). Building these findings, 186...
Occasionally people may attempt to judge whether a question can be answered today, or if not, it in the future. For example, person consider enough is known about dangers of living close nuclear plant, major electricity cable, for them willing do so, and state-authorities questions new technologies have been answered, reasonable future be, invest money research aiming develop such technologies. A total 476 participants, each 22 knowledge questions, either judged was answerable today (current...
People’s judgments of the answerability questions relating to how things are in world can have important consequences for society and people’s lives. Thirty-one individuals 30 pairs made 20 general knowledge questions, many with less known, or unknown, answers. Four had high expected consensus regarding their (consensus questions) rest respect (non-consensus questions). The showed two polarization effects: gave higher ratings over 80% lower than ratings. Stronger consensus-seeking tendencies...
Judgments about whether anyone can provide a relevant and correct answer to question are called answerability judgments. Such judgements be important in societal planning decision making may vary different cultural contexts. Six hundred participants each of China, India Sweden made judgments 6 difficult knowledge questions. For they choose between three options indicating that thought the was answerable fourth option: "Nobody question". After rated their confidence judgment correct. Choosing...
Abstract About 15% of the population suffer from migraines and it is estimated that about 40% all people with would benefit preventive treatment, but only 3–13% use it. Migraine a huge burden for society individuals. Migraines can be intensified by light, some patients need to stay in dark room until attack over. People this type photosensitivity show clear preference light color, specifically green, which has been shown more comfortable even pain relieving cases. We will present feasibility...
Abstract Background Interventional radiology (IR) has evolved into a well-established medical discipline known for its minimally invasive procedures. Establishing culture of safety in IR settings is crucial to improve patient and quality care. This study describes compares attitudes about among professionals working with Sweden. In addition, this evaluates whether the WHO Safety Checklist routinely used radiological interventions. Methods cross-sectional survey uses an electronic...
In this study, investigating answerability judgments, 123 participants judged whether each of 46 general knowledge questions could currently be answered by themselves, someone else, or no one. There were 26 consensus (high expected about their answerability) and 20 non-consensus questions. Before question, half the rated extent related to question. Results showed that answering compared with led a lower proportion “No one knows” answers. Moreover, in rating condition control condition,...
Two viral photographs, #The Dress and Jacket, have received recent attention in research on perception as the colors these photos are ambiguous. In current study, we examined of photographs across three different cultural samples: Sweden (Western culture), China (Eastern India (between Western Eastern cultures). Participants also answered questions about gender, age, morningness, previous experience photographs. Analyses revealed that only age was a significant predictor for The Dress, older...
