Summary Authentic leadership has received considerable attention and research support over the past decade. Now time come to refine better understand how it impacts performance. This study investigates moderating role followers' positive psychological capital (PsyCap) mediating that leader–member exchange (LMX) may play in influencing relationship between authentic Specifically, we tested this mediated moderation model with matched data from 794 followers their immediate leaders. We found is...

Current efforts to study the genetic underpinnings of higher brain functions have been lacking appropriate phenotypes describe cognition. One problems is that many cognitive concepts for which there a single word (e.g. attention) shown be related several anatomical networks. Recently, we developed an Attention Network Test (ANT) provides separate measure each three anatomically defined attention In this measured efficiency neural networks aspects using ANT in population 200 adult subjects....

One problems is that many cognitive concepts for which there a single word (e.g. attention) shown be related several anatomical networks. Recently we developed an Attention Network Test (ANT) provides separate measure each three anatomically defined attention In this small scale study, ran 26 pairs MZ and DZ twins in effort determine if any these networks show sufficient...

This study examined the variables related to US immigrants' long-term attainment in English, their second language (L2), and native (L1). For 44 Mandarin–English bilinguals, with increasing age of arrival (AOA) United States, accuracy L2 grammaticality judgment tasks decreased an L1 task increased. Moreover, both AOA States mothers' English proficiency uniquely predicted a significant proportion variance for bilinguals' proficiency. Finally, as group, 72 speakers three Asian languages showed...

Accumulating evidence indicates that the anterior insular cortex (AIC) mediates interoceptive attention which refers to towards physiological signals arising from body. However, necessity of AIC in this process has not been demonstrated. Using a novel task directs toward breathing rhythm, we assessed involvement healthy participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging and examined patients with lesions. Results showed was associated increased activation, as well enhanced coupling...

In this study we assessed age-related differences in the perception and production of American English (AE) vowels by native Mandarin speakers as a function amount exposure to target language. Participants included three groups speakers: 87 children, adolescents young adults living China, 77 recent arrivals who had lived U.S. for two years or less, 54 past between five years. The latter arrived ages 7 44 Discrimination six AE vowel pairs ∕i-ɪ∕, ∕i-eɪ∕, ∕ϵ-æ∕, ∕æ-α∕, ∕α-Λ∕, ∕u-α∕ was with...

Abstract Information processing can be biased toward behaviorally relevant and salient stimuli by top‐down (goal‐directed) bottom‐up (stimulus‐driven) attentional control processes respectively. However, the neural basis underlying integration of these is not well understood. We employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) transcranial direct‐current stimulation (tDCS) in humans to examine brain mechanisms interaction between two processes. manipulated cognitive load involved...

The definition of human intelligence and its underlying psychological constructs have long been debated. Although previous studies investigated the fundamental cognitive functions determining intellectual abilities, such as broadly defined executive including working memory, core process has yet to be identified. A potential candidate for a role might control, construct coordination thoughts actions under conditions uncertainty. In this study, we tested control model ability by examining...

Attention has been theorized as a system comprising three networks that can be estimated reliably by the attention network test (ANT); are defined alerting, orienting, and conflict control. The present study aims to identify crucial for elite shooting archery athletes examine whether mindfulness training improve athletes' networks. We compared performances in ANT between 62 (27 F/35 M, 23.66 ± 4.95 years) from Chinese national team of 49 (19 F/30 19.53 3.38 provincial China. results indicate...

Previous transcultural neuroimaging studies have shown that the neural substrates of self-reflection can be shaped by different cultures. There are few studies, however, on activity where religion is viewed as a form cultural expression. The present study examined self-processing two Chinese ethnic groups (Han and Tibetan) to investigate significant role functional anatomy self-representation. We replicated previous results in Han participants with ventral medial prefrontal cortex left...

By combining binocular suppression technique and a probe detection paradigm, we investigated attentional bias to invisible stimuli its gender difference in both high trait anxiety (HTA) low (LTA) individuals. As an cue, happy or fearful face pictures were presented HTAs LTAs for 800 ms either consciously unconsciously (through suppression). Participants asked judge the orientation of gabor patch following pictures. Their performance was used measure effect induced by cue. We found...

Abstract In human life, social context requires the engagement in complex interactions among individuals as dynamics of networks. The evolution brain neurological basis mind must be crucial supporting networking. Although relationship between networking and amygdala, a small but core region for emotion processing, has been reported, other structures sophisticated involved need to identified. this study, we examined morphology anterior insular cortex (AIC), structure basic high‐level...

Although differences between independent and interdependent self-construals have been extensively investigated, few studies considered intra-cultural variability in self-construal China. In the present research, we aimed at exploring ethnic group self-construal. We first compared self-reported importance of private self, relational collective self Uyghur Han—two groups The results show that Han viewed to be less important than while exhibited a different pattern, rating as more (Study 1)....

An important question in social neuroscience is the similarities and differences neural representations between self close others. Most studies examining this topic have identified medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) region as primary area involved process. However, several reported conflicting data, making further investigation of very important. In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we investigated brain activity anterior cingulate (ACC) when Chinese participants passively...

The insula is thought to be involved in disgust. However, the roles of posterior (PI) and anterior (AI) moral disgust have not been clearly dissociated previous studies. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, participants evaluated degree using sentences related mild violations with different types behavioral agents (mother stranger). activation PI response stranger agent was significantly higher than that mother agent. contrast, AI These data suggest a clear dissociation...

Using a novel task directs toward breathing rhythm, we assessed involvement healthy participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging and examined patients with lesions.

It is well-acknowledged that attention important for expert performance in sports. However, the role of interoceptive attention, i.e., attentional mechanism awareness and conscious focus bodily somatic visceral signals, self-paced far-aiming sports remains to be explored. This study aims investigate relationship expertise level ability shooting archery, examine if can improved by mindfulness training elite athletes archery. We tested differences 41 from Chinese national team archery 43...

This study investigated the development of cultural variability in interdependent self-construal by comparing differences tripartite self-concept adolescent samples from Han and Uyghur cultures. Participants (460 males, 522 females; M age = 16.3 yr., SD 4.8) sub-phases pre-, early-, mid-, late- post-adolescence were asked to completed revised Twenty Statements Test, items generated participants coded into private, relational, collective self-statements. The private self-statements further...
