Despite a high primary school enrollment in India, the overall learning levels have been low, and dropout level secondary beyond has high. One reason for low drop-out rates is student’s lack of motivation to learn classroom. We suggest that curiosity may be useful tool improve student motivation. look at some important variables found affect classroom: self-determination needs, information relevance, coherence, concreteness, ease comprehension, fantasy, belief about interest malleability,...

With continuous growth in information aggregation and dissemination, studies on privacy preferences are important to understand what makes people reveal about them. Previous have demonstrated that short-term gains possible monetary rewards make risk disclosing information. Given the malleability of ubiquitous cues daily lives, we measured contextual effect reminding money their disclosure preferences. In experiment 1, found priming increased willingness disclose personal could be shared with...

We used a novel missing-letters task to induce curiosity, where participants were shown as stimulus nine letter word with some letters missing (2, 4, or 7 letters) and asked complete the word. found that both information gap (number of missing) participants' uncertainty regarding predicted their curiosity learn Participants later word, learning satisfaction (measured directly through self-ratings, indirectly affect misattribution procedure) was be influenced by gap, familiarity whether they...

Many recent findings suggest that stimuli are perceived to be the consequence of one's own actions processed with priority. According preactivation account intentional binding, predicted consequences preactivated and hence receive a temporal advantage in processing. The implications important for theories attention capture, as often translates capture. Hence, action might modulate capture by feature singletons. Experiment 1 showed motion onset color change captured only when it was preceded...

A link between perceptual processing styles and (pro)social behavior has gathered supporting empirical evidence to show that people raised or trained in traditions of collectiveness, compassion, prosocial beliefs are biased the global level processing. In this research, we studied reciprocal - whether contextually broadening scope attention via could make more prosocial. We hypothesized linked previously an interdependent compassionate self-orientation would prosocial, compared local Four...

Sense of agency refers to the sense authorship an action and its outcome. is often explained through computational models motor control (e.g., comparator model). Previous studies using model have manipulated action-outcome contingency understand effect on agency. More recent shown that cues related outcome, priming outcome attribution. However, relatively few focused recalibrating internal predictions This study aims investigate how feedback about can recalibrate prediction modulates While...

Conflicts involving caste issues, mainly concerning the lowest rights, pervade modern Indian society. Caste affiliation, being rigorously enforced by society, is an official contemporary reality. Although identity a major social discrimination, it also serves as necessary condition for affirmative action like reservation policy. In this article, we perform original and rigorous analysis of discourse theme “caste” in India newspapers. To purpose, have implemented computational over big...

Abstract Evidence for perceptual bias toward the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST)—a community historically oppressed and treated as untouchables in India—was found through a series of studies. We hypothesized that SC/ST are perceived less human comparison to dominant castes (General Category), leading adverse consequences dehumanized group. Studies were designed measure effect Caste on social perception by including participants belonging General categories. Study 1 used an implicit...

Forming beliefs or expectations about others’ behavior is fundamental to strategy as it codetermines the outcomes of interactions in and across organizations. In game-theoretic conception rationality, agents reason iteratively each other form behavior. According prior scholarship, actual strategists fall short this ideal, attempts understand underlying cognitive processes forming others are their infancy. We propose that emotions help regulate iterative reasoning, is, tendency not only...

Evidence of cross-domain spillover into the moral domain has been limited to altruistic and consumption behaviors. Building on literature effects domain-general decision processes, we predicted that choice behavior in economic would affect subsequent choices sacrificial dilemmas. We tested this prediction using hypothetical risky gambles vignettes for found prior exposure increased utilitarian responses toward Mediation analysis suggests is due a cost–benefit mindset. This mindset increases...

Economic inequality influences the decisions made by people including prosocial decisions. People make choices to support organizations that might be moral or immoral in nature. Prosocial create conflict pitting material values against values. Prosociality towards cause involves gain at cost. Contrastingly, prosociality How are such affected economic and feelings of relative deprivation? Under high low inequality, we had three experimentally induced deprivation groups; best-off, middle,...

With the advent of social networks where people disclose a lot their information and opinions publicly, this research attempted to re-look at effect environmental lighting on willingness actual disclosure personal information. Previous literatures mostly addressed counseling setups findings were mixed. In order clarify self disclosure, two experiments conducted with reported (experiment 1) as well 2) range topics like issues, body, money, work, personality. While quite handful studies have...

Forming beliefs or expectations about others’ behavior is fundamental to strategy, as it co-determines the outcomes of interactions in and across organizations. In game theoretic conception rationality, agents reason iteratively each other form behavior. According prior scholarship, actual strategists fall short this ideal, attempts understand underlying cognitive processes forming others are their infancy. We propose that emotions help regulate iterative reasoning, is, tendency not only...
